“Carrie was great. Finnegan and Clover loved her and took to her right away. This was our first time using Rover and the first time we had someone check on our pups. She made the experience quite easy and worry-free for us.”


“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”


About: All my life I’ve grown up with a variety of different pets, from cats named “Refrigerator”, an Iguana named “Dude-Man”, and your average Joe of a dog. During these years, I’ve learned that each dog, cat, and iguana has specific needs unlike any other of its kind - whether that’s extra love, time to be an introvert, or health care. I have skills to do basic trainings with dogs, as well as a strong skill in consistency to make sure your pet’s training you’ve worked so hard on continues to be worked for under my care. I’m a college student located at Indiana State University. I’m free nearly every evening and have a very flexible schedule to leave campus and ensure your pet can get the attention it deserves. I enjoy a written list of what your specific pet needs- just to make sure I hit every mark. I grew up with my grandmother, so I know how to respect a home!

About: I have been raising my beagle for 9 years, adopted a cat 2 years ago, adopted a senior dog about 2 years ago, and took in a stray cat this last fall.

Loida K.
“I have known Loida a little over five years now. She has a family of six which includes their two dogs. For years Loida has owned or taken care of multiple dogs. She has willingly taken care of family and friends' dogs; sometimes overnight. Loida knows a lot about dogs. She can identify mort mixes by breed and tell you certain traits and characteristics of others. Again, she's very passionate about people and pets. She'll respect you enough to treat your pet like her own. I would trust Loida to care for my dog anytime. Plus she has two assistants (daughters) to lend a helping hand at all times... So, do not doubt, but check her out! ? J. T.”
