“I felt very comfortable having Terri do drop in visits to care for my cat. She checked in and gave updates with pictures each drop-in. My cat needed special care with antibiotics, which Terri could do no problem. My shy cat even let Terri pet her eventually, so I know my cats felt comfortable too. Thanks Terri!”
“We had such a great experience with Wade and can’t recommend him highly enough! Wade took wonderful care of our dog, Odin, while we were away. From the start, communication was clear and prompt. He sent regular updates, including pictures and notes, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog looked happy and relaxed in every photo and when we came home. Wade also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages while we were away. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented, Wade is the one to call. We’ll definitely be using his services again. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Allie provides excellent care and attention to our cat during her visits. She provides expert documentation via the report cards, which gives me much peace of mind. I book with Allie time after time for while we are away. I know my very particular (11 year old) Siamese is in expert hands.”
“Gretchen is terrific! She gave Coco walks and took care of everything. It was obvious from the photos that both Coco and our kitty Nutmeg were very comfortable with Gretchen!”
“Brittney’s super sweet with my fur baby boy. She’s always on time, never late, and makes sure my baby is given rubs and love during her visits ? Will definitely book her again. Thanks Brittney !!!”
“Lauren did an excellent job at taking care of my 2 dachshunds while I was at work. My female is very shy and apprehensive. Some dog walkers in the have not been able to get her to go outside. Lauren had no problem. My male was born blind and deaf. He also has many health problems. She had no issues taking care of an elderly sick dog. I would recommend trusting your fur babies with her and I’ll certainly be using her again!”
About: My family and I are animal lovers! We have one dog of our own who we love and care for and she LOVES to play with other doggie friends! I have dog sat for about 15+ years for personal friends and family as well as many dogs here on Rover. All of our children love dogs and we create a loving and caring family environment. We have a large backyard in a family oriented town. Our yard is not fenced, but there is plenty of room for dogs we watch to run around and play. My children take part in caring for the dogs we sit and like to give them lots of extra hugs and love. We also enjoy going on lots of walks! We can’t wait to give your dog a warm, friendly home away from home! I am work from home, so I am available to be present for your dog. He/she will have someone around almost at all times. If we have to run out for anything, if your dog does not chew and is trained, he/she can have run of our home. We have one very friendly dog to keep yours company. I have plenty of room in the house for a crate if necessary. If medications are necessary, I am able to administer that. Our yard is not fenced, however we have a long lead where he/she can have plenty of room to run around. Our family will be present at all times when your dog is outside.
“This was my first time using rover and a dog walker and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! My pups loved Scott from their initial meet and greet, which was a shocker since they usually give new people in the house a hard time. Scott was on time, sent me photos and updates on their behavior through the website and my pups seemed so happy! I am so thrilled we connected with Scott and I hope he’ll be available if I need help again in the future!”
“Theresa did an excellent job with our house visit (which involved two 35lb puppies!) She had no trouble following my directions and everything looks to have gone perfectly. I will definitely book again for future pet needs!”

About: Caring for people and animals is my passion. I work part time at a hospital and volunteer with rescue dogs. I like helping any way I can. I will care for your pet to the best of my abilities and ensure the get the attention they need when you are unable to be there. I have dog sat/dog walked and cat sat a variety of different breeds for years. I am open to most any animal and have a flexible schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and getting them outside and active in fresh air! If needed I have references I can give to better confirm that I am experienced and trustworthy. I am open to helping out anyway that I can! I look forward to working with you!

“Kristin was the perfect fit for my dog Buddy. They have such a loving and peaceful home that Buddy (who is prone to hyper behavior) was actually so comfortable and calm just being there!

Buddy was very clean, well fed and super happy after his visit, and I know he's excited to go back! I highly recommend Kristin to be the one to take care of your dog. Thank you Kristin for being such a great dog sitter! -Joy & Buddy”
