“Lori was excellent! We did a meet & greet the day before services started which put me at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Lori would let me know what time she would be there to pick up Oscar and when she was on her way; constant communication. I LOVE the Rover Cards! Especially the cute pictures of my happy dog. We hired Lori at our vacation home and we’ll hire her again when we come back later on in the summer. Lori was trustworthy, professional and dependable! So great!”
About: **HUSBAND and WIFE DUO **local kennel technician I have experience with pets for 10+ day vacations, pets with medical needs (like diabetes and allergies), and my experience in size ranges from puppy to 150+ lbs. I use “fear-free” care for all animals in my care. I’m currently working full-time at a local general practice clinic. I have rover for a “when I have time” sort of schedule and that’s why I mostly do drop in only visits. I do not offer boarding at my home, but in past experiences i have had a full time job so I would stay in the pet’s home during all other hours and go there for lunch if possible. I try to fill the pet’s time while you are gone with lots of playing or exercise, and keep their normal routine as much as possible. As of lately, unless I have errands to run, I’ve been staying in the pet’s home with them almost constantly.
“I was so lucky to find Janine! I’m working a short term contract in the area and needed someone to take care of my dog while I was working. Happy I was leaving my pup in such good hands!”
About: Hello! I'm Kennedy. I am 27 and I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was about 6. I am a pet-parent to 2 cats and a dog. I got my first very own cat 11 years ago and rescued a 4 week old kitten off the street about 3 years ago and have been raising them with my 5 year old husky. I grew up raising farm animals, dogs, and indoor/outdoor cats. I have experience with bigger dogs as my parents have a bernese mountain dog and a yellow lab. I love working with cats and dogs and being able to see each of their individual personalities is my favorite part of meeting new animals. I have my own transportation and I also do not smoke or drink. This is my only job so I will have plenty of time to give your fur babies the very best care! I am available any day of the week. I will keep a close eye on your pets while I am with them and dogs will be kept on leash while on walks. Please let me know of any special care requirements your pet may have.
About: Time and time again, family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their most prized paw-ssessions! I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, and chickens, though I am a quick learner and would love to learn how to care for any of your animals! Currently, I’m dedicating my time for jobs to Rover! This means that I’m available pretty much 24/7 and my time is extremely flexible! Always feel free to message me to see if we can work something out. When I’m caring for your pet(s), their safety and happiness, as well as your peace of mind, is my top priority! From the high energy, anxious chihuahua to the low energy, sleepy pit bull, I’ve worked with all types and will care for your pets based on their personality!
About: **Bushy Tails Day Care** I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD THAT MAY BE PRESENT WITH ME AT TIMES! I understand the importance of trusting someone with your "kids" but I can assure you that I will care for them the same way I do my own. After all - I'm the best care when you're not there! I am free and eager to watch your fur baby any hour of the day! The only time I will leave them unattended is when I go pick up my son from school! Whether your baby is couch potato or a (fur)ball of energy - this is the place for them! Your pup can look forward to relaxing on the couch or running around the [completely fenced in] backyard. I also live about a mile away from a pet-friendly park so drop of a leash and we can take a nice walk and play out in the field. I'm a stay-at-home dog mom so you won't have to worry about your fur-baby being unattended or lonely for a single second!
