“Our dogsitter did a great job! She sent plenty of pictures of our boys and was quick to answer any questions or requests we had. Not to mention, our house was left just as it was when we left.”
“Donavon was very accommodating. He visited us twice before our trip to get acquainted with our 3 very senior dogs and 4 cats! He did an amazing job! Everything was spot on when we arrived home. Definitely recommend.”
“We were very nervous about going on our trip because we have spoiled our little Maltipoo so much. He's very co- dependent on his mom. We found Kim and had a lovely meet and greet and she was very thorough. We had a lot of instructions and that didn't phase her a bit, she was willing and ready. She did an excellent job with our dog and we got daily messages and pictures and even a little video of him being playful. I would highly recommend Kim for the care of your pets.”
“SHES AMAZING”
“Kayla was professional, prompt, and courteous. She stayed in our home four nights taking care of our 10 week old Lab puppy. Not an easy assignment. Kayla followed his busy schedule and took amazing care of him. We would be thrilled to use her again!”
“We were very pleased with Destanee and will definitely use her again when we need a sitter for our boy! She sent us pics and let us know he was happy and doing fine, which made our time away more enjoyable for us!”
“It was great having Taylor in our home to hang with our pup. It was a quick overnight filled with cuddles. Our house was left just as we left it when we came home. We will request overnights with her again. Thanks Taylor!”
“Julie did a fabulous job taking care of my dog, Eloise! She made time to meet Eloise before the house sitting was scheduled, sent photos and update texts during the stay and communicated so well. I was a little nervous since this was my first time using Rover, but am so grateful for Julie! Will definitely rebook if I need a dog sitter again.”

About: I have personally walked miles and miles with my own, very energetic Weimer.

I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 6 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on great summer days

Donovan was great. Dogs were in great hands and well taken care of. And I have some spoiled babies! He sent pictures which always helps. Will definitely use again!
Amanda did wonderful job house sitting with our four pets! She gave updates several times during the day. She sent daily picture updates as well. She left out home in immaculate condition. We will definitely be using her again for future trips.
Domenica did an amazing job with our two dogs (one being older, blind and deaf with some potty issues). She came to meet our dogs before our trip. She was on time, sent us messages and pictures of our pups while we were gone, and left us notes about the dogs for when we got home. We will definitely have Domenica watch our dogs again.
We were very nervous about going on our trip because we have spoiled our little Maltipoo so much. He's very co- dependent on his mom. We found Kim and had a lovely meet and greet and she was very thorough. We had a lot of instructions and that didn't phase her a bit, she was willing and ready. She did an excellent job with our dog and we got daily messages and pictures and even a little video of him being playful. I would highly recommend Kim for the care of your pets.
