“I was very nervous to leave my cat for a week. She is 17 years old and had not been on her own like this for a while. I did not worry at all knowing that Jazmine was watching her. It was one less thing I had to think about on our trip. I can't thank her enough! She is wonderful.”

“Rachel did a phenomenal job at watching my two Shepherd mix dogs. I was able to be completely disconnected from cell signal without worry for my boys. She was very communicative and even agreed to a meet and greet and booking last minute for me! If you’re unsure if Rover is for you, don’t be and request Rachel immediately!◡̈”
About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups!

(I love walking, running, and hiking).
About: Growing up I have always had a dog. My older brother ran a dog training business on our farm after training dogs for the military. Due to this I was introduced to many different types of dogs and their personalities. Growing up he taught me the basics to training dogs and how to adapt to the dogs personality. Therefore I am able to care for all types of dogs and any of their needs. I am currently working full time; however, I am able to care for pets on weekdays anytime after 5pm. I am available 24/7 on weekends. I am able to care for any pet in any environment. Whether your pet runs free in a fenced in area or not. I also have no problem when it comes to putting pups in their crate.

Allison was a wonderful dog sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dogs. I really appreciated the regular updates and knowing they were in good hands while I was away. She followed all instructions carefully and made sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Allison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!
I recently hired Andrea to care for my two cats, Casper and Spirit, while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was exceptionally reliable, communicative, and attentive to every detail of their care routine. Casper and Spirit can be a bit shy with new people, but they warmed up to Andrea right away — a true testament to her calm and caring nature. I received regular updates and photos, which gave my wife complete peace of mind knowing they were happy, well-fed, and comfortable at home. I came back to two relaxed, well-cared-for cats and a tidy home. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine affection Andrea showed toward my pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter.
