“Kayla was great to work with. She was efficient and organized. It’s clear our little guy received great care with her. We will totally contact Kayla again if we need a sitter! She seems to have a true heart for animals!!”
“Fletcher had such a good time with Liz and her family. He loved having multiple friends to play with and I loved that I could rest easy knowing he was in good hands! ❤️”
“Nyla absolutely loved her visit with Jacey and her 2 dogs. Love it so much that she didn’t want to get into the car and whined the whole way home. Highly recommend Jacey to board your pups. She has a nice backyard with a big fence and a dog pool. Jacey also sent pictures and videos of what your pup was doing and that was especially nice since it was my first time using rover. She will be our definite go to when we need to board Nyla!!”
“She was very sweet, sent me pictures of my baby, always keeping me updated. Took her on walks to nice places and made sure she was comfortable, made the process very easy and will work with your schedule of things. Great pet sitter <3”
“Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I needed her the next day and was very accommodating to the short notice booking. She was flexible with the drop off and pick up times. needed her an additional night and she was also very accommodating with making that work. Communication was amazing, sent updates with pics. I can’t say enough good things- again, highly recommend.”
About: Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I have gained extensive hands-on experience and know exactly how to take good care of them. I love animals and enjoy taking them on long walks, playing with them, and ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I currently work part-time at Brekky’s coffee shop, where we always close in the afternoons. So, after 3:00 PM, I am always available to walk dogs. My schedule varies weekly — sometimes I work early mornings and can’t walk dogs beforehand, while other times I start later and have more free time. Because my schedule changes frequently, daily communication would work best for me. I’m very flexible and responsive when it comes to updating and managing those changes I have a fenced yard — it’s small but secure, perfect for dogs to play in. I live right behind Morningside University, which gives me access to many great places to walk dogs. I share a house with my boyfriend and roommates; we have separate rooms in the basement, providing plenty of space for dogs to stay overnight comfortably..
“Kelley is far and away the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I left my dog with her for a long weekend and had absolutely no worries that he was safe and happy! I appreciated the updates and pictures from Kelley throughout, and it was clear my dog was so happy! I highly recommend Kelley, she is great and genuinely loves dogs.”
“Wow! Daisy was absolutely amazing! I needed a last minute sitter with only about a 2hr warning and not only was she available, she also picked up and dropped off my puppy with no extra charges! Daisy took my pup to the dog park and helped her feel comfortable, gave her treats and lots of play time! I will 10/10 be going back ☺️”
About: Growing up on a farm, I have taken care of various animals. I am a huge animal lover, and have my own dog and 2 cats. I have a very flexible schedule for the next few months and through the summer. I am available nearly all times of the day and can cater to special requests. I am flexible with care, depending on the client and animal's needs. I will be home with the animals or can spend extra time with any animals you may have.
About: I treat all animals as if they’re my own and have a undeniable love for dogs as I am a proud fur mom to my dog vander. I work early in the day and have lots of spare time in the evening to help out with walking and checking in on animals I care for animals in my home by making them feel as if it’s a second home for them. I play catch with tennis balls in my backyard and cuddle on the couch and watch movies
“Breanna was perfect for our two dogs who are a little older and need lots of down time. Our one dog has anxiety issues and she handled him perfectly. This was the first time using the Rover app and we were very pleased with how it worked.”
“Our dog had a great very with Jennifer. She was very warm to both our pup and us, and assured us that he would be well taken care of. We met her pets (1 dog, 2 cats) before we booked and felt comfortable that our boy was in good hands. Jen was great about communicating every day we were gone. Our dog clearly had a good time and came back to us healthy and happy.”
