“Great communicator and caregiver. Our dogs were well cared for and we were kept in the loop as the day unfolded. We appreciated her eye for detail & love for our elderly lab. We will request her again.”
“First experience with Rover and it was a great one!!! Monica was extremely attentive and loving to our 12 year old Morkie, Morty. She is highly responsive and communicative. Loved receiving multiple pictures with each visit!! If Morty could talk, he would say, “When can she come back to play?””
“I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care”
“Cory has helped me out a couple times before and I'll continue to use him in the future. He is professional, timely, and communicates very well. Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Harvey! Ali was wonderful to work with! She was on time and sent a picture of our fur baby during drop in.”
“Morgan was great! I appreciated the pictures and communication while I was away. She gave me peace of mind and took wonderful care of my animals! I’ll definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Krystal is absolutely amazing! Our dog Nova is scared of all strangers. Krystal was so patient and kind to Nova and was able to gain her trust. I highly recommend Krystal to anyone needing someone to care for their dog!!”
“My cat is usually shy and hates strangers, but Lisa took the time to get to know him during drop-in visits. By the end of the week, he was sitting in her lap getting plenty of cuddles! Lisa's Rover Cards were also well-detailed and had lots of pictures. Will be booking again!”
“Chelsie was so sweet and attentive to my kitties. I could tell in the pictures and updates that they were well cared for and loved on while I was gone. Will definitely be booking with Chelsie again in the future!”
“Troy helped us out in a pinch today and was able to add an additional drop-in at the last minute. Our golden retriever has a mind of her own and he successfully navigated her routine. I will definitely contact Troy again.”
“Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!”
“Natasha was great from start to finish. She responded quickly to my original inquiry and was able to fit in a meet and greet in only about 36 hours notice. Her rates are reasonable while still providing great service. One of my dogs needed medication while I would be away, and all of my dogs have their own quirks - she handled all of this with ease and provided some great pictures to boot! There was a little bit of an upcharge due to my location but she was upfront about it and it was also reasonable, so was happy to pay it. Will definitely use her again should the occasion arise and she has the availability.”
“Just got home to two happy animals tonight after a weekend away. Amethyst kept me up to speed during her visits and gave our dog and cat great attention. Really appreciate her taking our request on short notice too.”
About: Pets are the best things in the world! I’ve grown up with my own pets and nothing makes me happier. I have pet sat 30 pets in my time and I’d love to watch yours too! I’ve even fostered 3 dogs in my own home, all of which have been adopted. Adding a pet is just an extra step to everyday routine and I’d love to share all my love with them too! I work full time, but again pets are family! They are something you cater to everyday and make time for no matter what. Everyone has their own needs and so do pets, so I will be make sure they are well taken care off based off each individual need. I have a fenced yard, no other pets in the house (as of now). Depending on the dogs needs/ owners wants I can accommodate to what is needed!
About: I prefer to dog sit in my own home or offer drop in service as I have dogs of my own at home. I know how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pet is well loved and cared for while you're away from home and to be able to have that peace of mind. My baby (4 y/o spayed female) gets along well with any size/breed of dog and would LOVE to make new friends! Let me help you put your mind at ease and love on your 4 legged friend or friends. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! 💞 I work from home so I am present all day, not usually gone for more than a couple hours in the evening if at all. At home, I am present all day for bathroom breaks and playtime (or sun naps) in the fenced backyard. I do not force my dog to stay off furniture or out of the bed but can easily crate your baby if needed/required. My dog is crate trained but free roams while I'm away unless I'm dog sitting where crating is needed. In your home, I'll do as asked. I prefer to spend some play time with them rather than just potty and leave where possible to make sure they are getting exercise and attention while you're away.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
