About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and have helped my family take care of their pets since I was young. I recently lost my childhood dog and miss the companionship. I have a 1 year old cat, Violet, who I’ve been raising since she was just a few weeks old. I now work from home most days and have a very flexible job, so I am looking to spend my free time caring for animals! I live in an apartment with my kitten Violet. We do not have an outdoor space but I live across the street from a dog park and large walking path
“Ella is great with my sleepy potato! He gets the slow, gentle care needed for senior dog and is happy when he returns! Great sitter! Highly recommend!”
“Madeline was great. Took good care of my pup, he didn't wanna go when i picked him up! She was great at responding to any questions and even sent me some pics of Fenn enjoying himself at her house.”
About: I’m able to give your pup my full attention throughout the day, with plenty of potty breaks, walks, and playtime built in. A little about me: I’m a caring, detail-oriented dog mom to two small pups (Choco & PB, about 12 lbs each). I really like dogs, so I do Rover for fun. I will have plenty of time playing with your dog (or, my dogs will play with them)! I will be taking them out minimum 3x throughout the day. Also, pets should never be bored - I will be playing with them indoors and outdoors 🎾 Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities! I typically give pets under my care freedom in my apartment, but if you have specific instructions, please do let me know. note that I have 2 small, friendly dogs at home (<15 lbs). If you are a new client, I will ask if there is anything that I should be aware of (i.e., food allergies, personality traits, medication).
“My pup had a blast staying with the team and their dogs. Bog got some serious play time, she loved every minute. They shared updates and were very welcoming.”
“John was great with my new puppy Ollie! He is new to the big city and a little fearful, and the pictures he sent me throughout the day showed his patience in getting Ollie more and more comfortable with him. I greatly appreciated it!”
“Karen was wonderful with Bella - I can tell Bella had a great time with her and came home happy and tired :) Karen was very prompt with communication and kept me in the loop. I would love to work with her again! Thank you!”
