“Abigail did a fantastic job caring for and loving on our babies while we were gone. She sent multiple updates daily including pictures which made being away a little easier. She truly is a dog lover and was understanding of each of our pups and their needs. She made our babies feel right at ease and comfortable which was huge as our dogs can be very people selective. Our dogs are quite reactive to people and other dogs which made us anxious to leave them in the first place. Abigail was more than understanding and accommodating of the schedules we have in place to prevent tense situations in our neighborhood. Faith and I are so appreciative of her and would recommend her to anyone! Five stars is not enough! We will definitely be booking with her again for trips and weekly drop ins for our long work days!”

“Schuyler was an absolute life-saver. The first day of our vacation my mother fell and broke her hip and I was extremely stressed and spent my entire vacation in a hospital in Charleston, SC. Schuyler continued to check on me daily and sent pictures and updates about Crosby and Murphy. She managed my house, checked my mail, and made sure everything was running smoothly at home so I could focus on my mother and her care. When I got home, the house was perfect and the pups were healthy and happy. I cannot recommend Schuyler enough. She was absolutely awesome!!! Jean Scott”
“Shelby was awesome for our dog Dewey. She kept us constantly informed and asked questions whenever she was concerned about him or needed clarification. We'll definitely be using her again and would recommend her to a friend!”
About: Student Affairs professional for OHIO and love all furry animals. I had an amazing Norwegian Elkhound Mix and 2 cats. Now I have 9 month lab mix and 1 cat. Both very friendly and good with everyone. I'm very patient, optimistic, and kind. I have experience with pups & senior dogs. I'm comfortable administering medication, including injections and promise to love your pet unconditionally while they are in my care. Depending on the needs of your pets they'll enjoy at least one walk a day, potentially a hike, and get plenty of attention throughout their stay with me. Before rescuing my current dog, I trained two Great Pyrenees from 6 months to 3 years for a friend. I'm comfortable with all dogs and cats and hope I can help provide care for you soon! During the school year I work from home 2 days a weeks and in the summer 3 days! This gives me plenty of flexibility to check on your pets as needed. Additionally, I have the flexibility to check during my lunch break if needed when I'm in the office. I have a fenced in backyard and will gate off sections of our home until we know the dog is comfortable in our home and with our dog & cat. We block off the stairs to keep them on the ground floor with us.
“Lena stayed at my house keeping my cats company for a week. She seemed to keep my cats very happy without me and left the house exactly how I left. Commutation was good and easy. I will hire again next time I need it.”

I can do early mornings, late nights, overnights, etc. if you need me, I’m there to take care of your pet! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure your pet sticks to their usual routine, gets lots of attention, and feels comfortable in their familiar environment.

Paul Z.
“I have observed Paul many times walking his German Shepard. Paul's dog is very well behaved. It is obvious he loves animals. We have a dozen dogs in our neighborhood and they all love him. He has assisted people with training their dogs, he is taking care of a dog right now. He handles dogs with patience and kindness, and draws the best behavior out dogs he works through consistent commands and encouragement. He would be a very good Rover employee.”

“Paige is WONDERFUL, and I would trust her with my dog any day :) when I had her watch my pup for the weekend, she took amazing care of him. She did the obvious (let him out, fed him, walked him), as well as took him on a long hike so he could get out, get some fresh air, and let his energy out. She is someone who genuinely cares about animals, and she would do an exceptional job with any animal who is in her care.”
