“Jamie was so good working with our anxious dog why we were away for a week. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates after each time she visited our dog”
“Adriana—Thank you for being flexible with the scheduling when I had to cancel one of the days due to illness. You’re always so helpful and make pet care less stressful.”
“Avery was awesome, punctual and communicative. Highly recommend. She took great care of my Rott while I was away, and she was so good with him on the meet and greet.”
“Alison and Robert were amazing! They did everything we asked in terms of taking care of our kitty and more. We loved the daily updates with pictures, which were great, and looked forward to them every day during our trip. Would definitely have them back again. We can tell William already misses their visits!”
“Sarah came to meet Greta before our schedule drop-ins, and she immediately put this nervous dog-owner at ease -- didn't hurt that my pup immediately rolled over to let Sarah rub her belly! Dogs are a good judge of character. :) Sarah dropped in just when she said she would, sent photos from her visits, and I came home to a calm and happy dog.”
“Quinn watched our senior cat and was so patient and relaxed with her. She provided great photos and summaries/explanations on every rover card each day so we knew that our cat was being well cared for while we were gone. She was also very responsive on any messages we sent to her and was very understanding and flexible. We will definitely request to have her watch our cat again if she is available!”
“Tyler did an excellent job looking after our kitties and guinea pigs while we were on vacation. He communicated often and followed all care instructions. He even got our shy kitty to warm up to him very quickly, which is a feat in itself. Everything was in perfect order when we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was awesome & took good care of my bunny Scottie! She was very thoughtful in updating me and I could tell my Scottie had come to trust her over the week of her drop in visits.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, and elderly dogs. I love to spend my free time outside with my own dog, helping him get more exercise! I am eager to expand my dog experience and to bond with more animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have open availability to watch your dogs! I am able to be flexible to find times to walk or take your pup for a potty break! If you require a longer stay, I just need to know at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure my schedule will align. I currently have a Catahoula Leopord Dog, he requires a lot of attention and outdoor time. He has a hard time sharing his space, so I would have to board at the clients home. While visiting at the clients home, I will ensure the pup receives plenty of exercise, cuddles, and as many potty breaks it needs! I have my own transportation so it’s not a problem to commute.
“Amber is great!! She came for pre-visit and made sure she thoroughly understood our routine. She was loving and careful with our dogs, and prompt with each potty visit. I love her energy and professionalism! Absolutely would book her again!!”
About: I've been taking care of animals since 7th grade. My family had their own dog and I used to care for animals around the neighborhood including cats and other animals. I take care of my former co workers dogs and my dad's dog. I'm a very active person, so I love to play outside and go for walks. I work as a teaching assistant full time and school gets out at 2:15 so I have plenty of time in the afternoon most days and could always take time off if needed for a long weekend. Plus school breaks I have plenty of time. I live in an apartment that has small dog parks outside. I'm very comfortable with letting dogs out in fenced in areas and taking them on leash for walks.
About: I am understanding of dogs and am able to adjust what I do depending on the dog's personality. I am young so I'm fully capable of running dogs around in the yard if they are high energy, but I can also just hang out with older dogs and give them attention. I have had a pretty high maintenance dog for over eight years so I am used to having unique ways of taking care of them. I am a student at Syracuse University so I have the perfect amount of time to do drop ins and walks before I go to class in the morning and once my classes end due to my schedule. I do not currently take care of any pets, mostly due to housing restrictions, but I have a dog at home who I miss and have taken care of for many years. For drop in visits I will come in and give them food and water along with taking them outside for a bathroom break. i can also give them pills and other medicines if applicable. I should be capable of doing anything else needed for care. I can also do walks and stay longer as long as time permits, just ask and I will let you know!
“Emma was amazing while we were away. Updated me with every visit I would highly recommend and will be using her in the future. I cannot thank her enough!”
“Skylar was wonderful! Very professional and communicative. Spent a ton of time with our pups and sent thorough updates and pictures. Came home to happy and healthy dogs. Would highly recommend.”
