Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.

Karollyne follows instructions super well & is genuinely caring for my cats. When it was too cold and I had my window open, she closed it so that my kitties will not catch a cold. It’s the small details that matter! I would definitely book with her again.

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

We originally found Sadie a few years ago and used her services to give our new puppy mid-day walks when she was too young to come to the office. Now, 2 years later I'm not longer working in a dog friendly office and was so happy to reconnect with Sadie, who stood by our house to let our girl out for a mid-day break and play session in our yard! Sadie is responsible and reliable, and we're happy to have her back helping us take care of our energetic pup.

My cat is typically very shy and standoffish with new people, so I was surprised with how quickly she took to Sasha! Sasha was fantastic with her and was very communicative with me throughout her visits. I would highly recommend her to anyone and we will be having her watch our cat again in the future!

About: I have always loved animals and this is the pastime that gives me real pleasure. I want to open my own shelter for homeless animals in the future. All my friends who have animals always contact me if they need to leave. Everyone knows that animal care will be a priority for me and I will not let them down. I have no professional training skills. I live with my boyfriend, we both adore all animals since childhood. I’m currently working part-time in Brooklyn, so I’ll have a time for your pet’s care. Usually I have a time on weekdays as Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and sometimes on Saturday till Sunday But every week I have different free time We don’t have a yard but I can go for a walk 2 hours in the evening and 2 hours in the morning with your pet. I will stick to your recommendations for the care of your pet!

Emma is an animal lover to a max. From dogs and cats to ferrets and surprisingly enough skunks (of course that don't spray you). She has had a wide range of dogs her entire life. She is a big lover of big dogs that everyone else deems "scary". If she could she would bring her dog everywhere in a baby carriage if she could. Let me tell you her European Boxer is no baby, that baby is 90 pounds of solid moving mass. Aside from her pets at home, she volunteers at a local shelter spending quality time to the dogs and cats there. Because she always goes on and on about no matter the pet or baby as she calls them. They all deserve some love and cuddles. The amount of cats and dogs I had to tell her we can't take home is insane. Might as well buy a farm. If there is anyone you want to walk your dog or even if you need someone to take care of your pet/baby for awhile. I 100% back up my choice in trusting Emma.

Bianca is the definition of a dog lover. The way I’ve seen her care for her dogs is like no other. She makes her dogs special meals filled with love some times i think they eat better then her. I’ve seen her literally sob because of a dog mistreatment tik tok. Sometimes i feel like she likes dogs better than people. I wouldn’t want any other person to watch my dogs given the chance.

Amanda is the best. My golden retriever Duke is full of energy and not fond of many people. But whenever he sees Amanda he gets so excited and runs to her. She really knows how to make him feel loved and me feel safe about him being in good hands.
