Allison did a great job with our elderly, diabetic dog and our cat while we were away for a trip! Our animals were well cared for, and our house was taken care of for us while we were gone. Allison followed all of our instructions, and communicated well. We would definitely reach out to Allison for help again!

We really liked Keli, but more importantly, our dogs really liked Kelli! She was sweet and attentive and made them feel at ease. It was almost like we weren’t even gone.

I wish I could give Megan more than 5 stars! Megan was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Benji! She came to our home to watch him, & I could tell right away she genuinely cared about making him comfortable and happy. She was punctual, kind, and so easy to communicate with. While we were out, she kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Megan treated him like her own, which made us feel so at ease! When we got home, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great day. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, caring, and trustworthy, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Megan to anyone who wants their pets cared for like family!

Yasmin is amazing! We are from out of town and needed care for our two dogs while we attended a family wedding. Yasmin patiently stayed for 8 hours at our rental walking, feeding, playing, and babying our fur babies. Our Sr. Lab has a multitude of phobias and can be challenging but Yasmin was patient and kind. All while dealing with our 1 year old Mini Aussi. I can’t wait to visit again and have her back. She is a life saver!

Paul was amazing! He was quick to respond and sent several photos/updates. With it being 4th of July weekend, we were happy that Paul was willing to spend the night and ease the pups anxiety with the loud noises. Thank you Paul for watching our pups on short notice, especially on a holiday weekend!

Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.

We would highly recommend Angie for anyone’s pet sitting needs! She didn’t experience any issues with our elderly, special needs dog who requires medication and a Bailey chair to eat in twice a day, who also can be dog reactive on walks. Nor with our senior cat who requires medication daily as well. Our other senior cat who is very skittish even came out to say hi, which I think shows a lot about Angie’s character. We loved the occasional check ins and photos of our pets we received from Angie. On top of all of that, we came home to a clean house. After being gone 10 days. With 3 shedding pets in the house! We feel very fortunate to have found Angie. She will be our top choice for all future pet sitting needs.

Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.

About: I have been around dogs since I was a young child. In my family, I was often the go to person when needing the doggos to be watched for the day and to do the basic trainings, such as sit, lay down, come, around, and heel. As Ive gotten older, my mom and grandmother have continued to heavily lean on me to watch and help train their dogs monthly, which I have adored, as the poodles and aussies are so fun and goofy! I am new to Rover but I am so excited to get to work with some wonderful pups and owners! I’m currently available to dog sit any day or time of day/length of time per day! Weekdays work best but again, any time or day I have one standard poodle of my own, and I guardian home for my mom’s miniature poodle. I live on the 3rd floor apt lvl, so I am up and down the stairs with them tons. I take them for walks and late night dog park trips, to ensure that they’re the happiest of pups!
