Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.

Rylan took care of my boy Milo while I was off island for a week. I was VERY happy with her care and dedication to my boy. Milo is a senior dog who can be a bit anxious, and particular when it comes to walking/ barking/ etc. Rylan did an amazing job of keeping in touch, providing updates that made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my boy. She followed all instructions flawlessly and was great company for Milo. She went above and beyond with everything taking care of Milo and my condo. I wouldn't hesistate to recommend and we will definitely use her services again in the future!

About: I have been around a multitude of animals my entire life about a year after I graduated. I started working at a Humane Society at this job. I would administer shots, feed & water, and just take care of the most basic needs possible for animals. During this job, I feel more and more in love with taking care of animals. I am currently looking for a part-time job so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry family members. I am able to do overnight housesitting on weekends if needed or sit at home during weekdays as well. Working at a shelter I know how to safely take your pet for a walk and put them back in their crate if that is needed.

Libby was absolutely incredible with our puppers. She was so kind and sent along lots of photos while we were away, which always makes travel easier. She was also flexible and kind when we had a travel snafu and was helpful in brainstorming solutions and offering assistance to make sure our kiddos were cared for. Both of our pups require daily meds and Libby was confident and effective in delivering them. We will 100% be booking her again. Thank you, Libby!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for the last 15 years! I love to get outside and play with dogs of all sizes. I’m big on walks and tiring dogs out! I currently work full time, and live in Altoona. I am available on nights and weekends when I am in town, as I do travel back to my hometown often. I want to walk your dogs! I am also big on the dog park, so if they’re a runner they’ll love me! I have two fur babies who love other dogs and always want to play!

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, I provide personalized and loving attention to every pup I care for. I've raised many dogs from puppyhood to senior years, across a variety of breeds, and have developed a deep love and passion for all things canine. I specialize in energetic puppies and offer tailored training to help them thrive. My services include daily walks and drop-in visits, all designed to meet your dog’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to your pet’s well-being, my attention to detail, and my experience with dogs of all temperaments. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in safe, loving hands! As a new mom, I understand how important it is to keep a well-balanced schedule that supports both family and work responsibilities. While caring for my baby and managing our home, I also find time to provide reliable and loving care for your pets through dog walking and drop-in visits. My husband works shift hours, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to dedicate quality time to your pets when they need it most—whether it's a midday walk, a morning drop-in, or some afternoon playtime. I treat every pet I care for like family, and I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your dog is being cared for by someone who is dependable, attentive, and nurturing. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and trust. I understand that pets feel safest in their own environment, so I do my best to maintain their usual routine during each visit. Whether I’m stopping by for a feeding, potty break, playtime, or a walk, I make sure your pet gets the attention, affection, and activity they need while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—from shy pups who need gentle encouragement to high-energy dogs who love an active walk. I also keep things tidy, double-check water and food bowls, and give updates so you always know how your pet is doing in your absence. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands.
