“I made this booking last minute and Melissa was nothing but helpful on taking care of my dog as if it was her own. We coordinated a meet and greet which made it easier for my dog to warm up to her and help her understand his needs and daily routine. I will be using her again.”

About: Hi there! My name is Sharon and ever since I was little I have always been around a dog and have been watching dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs for many years! I promise that your dog will be in good hands with me! Now that my kids are older and I have more time in my schedule, I’m available just about whenever you or your dog need me! I’m available almost anytime, weekdays, weekends, doesn’t matter. I have a fenced in yard with room for your fur baby to explore. I also have an older bichon-poo who likes to meet new friends.
“Carly was great! I had to book her last minute because my dog walker fell through. She was flexible and accommodating and made my time away from home stress free. She always showed up on time and kept me updated about my pup. I would definitely have Carly watch Stella again!”

“Can not thank Alba enough for taking such good care of our little guy! He’s still a puppy and needs a lot of patience and attention and she gave both in spades. Thanks for leaving a happy, sleepy puppy after your visit!”

“Kasper is the best! They took extra good care of my 3 kitties and followed all instructions left. They sent me tons of pictures and left detailed notes of each visit. I felt the my kitties were safe and in caring hands with Kasper. I also felt my house was safe and locked up properly each time. I will 100% be reaching out for Kasper’s services again in the future. - I can tell you truly care about animals and that’s very important to me in a petsitter. Thank you again for everything.”

About: Although I don't have any pets myself, family members have always relied on me to look after dogs. Every family member I know at least owns a dog, and for the most part, they all seem to like me as if I have a special connection with each and every one of them. For the two pups I've looked after belonging to two of my family members, I've had some success teaching them a trick or two that their own pet mom and/or dad had not thought of teaching them in. I'm currently out of the job market for the time being as I'm currently pursuing certifications with regards to working in IT in the near future. Providing Rover services provides a healthy balance to my studying once in a while, although this can change in the future should I decide to get back in the job market and find part-time work. I absolutely obey every rule that a client requires me while looking after their dog and/or cat in their own home. At the same time, I make it a fun learning experience in getting know more about the client's pet care requirements as well as the their pet's personality under my care.

I’m aware that each dog is unique and follows their own routine. I will always be sure to follow any directions and leave your space better than I found it!
