Kaylee and Nick did so great with our pup! Great communication, very easy going and just love taking care of your dog for you. They shared photos and video and it was so great to know our dog was having a great time while we were away. . Would definitely use them again!

Eric did a great job taking care of my dog Zelda and keeping me up to date on her well being. Eric even followed up on her health after I picked up Zelda which goes to show that he cares about the pets that he sits for. Would highly recommend and will use again. Thanks Eric!

Jenny was amazing with our 6-month-old golden retriever, Winnie! Our puppy has tons of energy, and Jenny handled her with so much patience and care. Winnie had an absolute blast playing with Jenny’s dog, Remy; they were the perfect duo! We got plenty of photo updates and could tell Winnie was having the best time. We felt totally at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!

Thank you so much for taking Skaar in last minute! Shannon was very kind, and introduced his dogs to Skaar effectively. He communicated promptly and sent me a video, as requested. Skaar was pooped after his visit. I highly recommend!

We have used Myle several times now to watch our dog Frankie and are very pleased. Frankie fits right in with her home environment and gets along well with her dogs. She spends a lot of time playing tug and fetch with him and takes him out for many walks. Frankie is well cared for and Myle posts lots of pictures of him to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend Myle!!!

Rachel is the absolute best! Vicky had a wonderful time with her and her family! Her dog Dolly is very friendly and they got along fabulously. We had to suddenly extend our travel time, due to illness and she was willing to take care of our fur baby until we got back safely. Loved getting the videos and pictures. I've never been apart from my fur baby so long before it wasn't easy for me but really helped knowing Vicky was so well taken care of!! Thank you Rachel! You're the best!!!

Shaun and Katie were amazing to work with! I received pictures almost daily of my two dogs and they always looked happy. They took them for walks and seemed to treat them as their own. One of my dogs gets anxious and licks her foot. Katie told me she wrapped her foot to help with the anxiety. It put me at ease knowing she was aware of what my dog was doing and took action to help her while I was gone. My flight home was delayed and Shaun and Katie were super understanding about keeping them another night. This was one less thing to stress over and I knew they were in good hands. This is my first time using Rover and I will definitely be having my pups stay with Shaun and Katie again!

Bethany did a great job taking care of our old gal, Sandy. She sent some pics and videos through the stay and answered quickly when we didn’t get a pic or video for a day or two. Sandy got along well with her dog and the others in her care.

About: I have been involved in caretaking pets through Rover, my private pet sitting business, and through local pet shelters over the course of three years. I have also pet sat for friends and relatives. I am very passionate about the well-being of all animals and have even received training at pet shelters in order to provide optimal care. I have a part time job but can easily provide pet sitting services. My job requires me to work 8 hour shifts two to three times per week. If my work schedule ever interferes with a scheduled visit, I offer additional visits that day free of charge. I love incorporating pet caretaking into my day to day life. It is a big priority for me. I want to care for the pets based on their individual needs. I am here to help you keep them moving and healthy while you are traveling or busy with other important things. I’m very flexible and willing to help however best fits your unique situation.
