“Lindsay took great care of our Winston! While we were across the country visiting the beach, he got to have his own little beach vacation! We got lots of pictures and updates which made our first Rover experience a great one! Winston will be sure to visit his new bestie Lucy next time we need a sitter!”
“Nancy was Great!! This was our 1st time using Rover and we really didn’t know what to expect!! We had a meet and greet prior to booking and she made us feel totally at ease with leaving our Seeet Roscoe with her and her Family! She sent updates and pictures throughout his visit and he seemed to have a great time!! I will definitely use Nancy again when I am back in town and it’s really great to know that we have found someone who we can trust to love and take care of Roscoe just as we would ourselves!! Thanks again Nancy and Family!! It was a great experience for us as I believe it was for Roscoe as well!! ?❤️?”

“Had an absolutely fantastic experience with Willow. Cooper was very well cared for, as it was a new city for him and us. We could roam around and explore the city knowing that Cooper is well taken care of. He was happy and tired, we knew he had played well! Apart from being such a good dog sitter , she is an absolute kind human being who was eager to help us in any way possible, since she knew we were visiting just for the long weekend. Can not recommend her enough and hopefully sometime in future , we will get to use her services again. Take care & best wishes Willow.”

About: I was born into a home full of animals. As a child we had 3 dogs(1medium/2large, 3 cats, and the random array of fish/turtles between me and my 6 siblings. As a teenager we had 2 dog(1small/1medium) and 1 cat. Now as an adult my family and I have 1 dog and 1 cat. We did have a senior (21 years old) cat that passed away in 2023 due to old age. We have a Labrador retriever and a black and white cat . My family and I love animals and helping people. I have cared for my own pets as well as the pets of my family and friends my whole life. I’m sure with detailed instructions I can help care for your furry loved ones! Our schedule is all over the place. My husband works for the fire department on a rotating schedule. I work Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday// Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday as a rotating schedule because I work in EMS too. Either myself or my husband is almost always home to watch our son and our own animals. On the rare occasion our shifts line up (once or twice every few weeks) a sitter would come to my home to help with the kids if we are both gone. My availability is very open since my husband is usually home when I am not, your pet will get love around the clock! For our home: I have a 8.5 year old black lab golden retriever mix. A 1 year old cat. A 2.5 year old human toddler and an 6 month old infant. We have baby gates to separate the living room from the kitchen and the living room from the hallway/bedrooms. We also added a baby gate between the laundry room and the kitchen. There are multiple barriers able to be used if needed. The gates are wall mounted for increased safety. Since there is almost always an adult home we have plenty of time to love and care for your pets! We have a water bubbler that we have connected to the Alexa so we are able to turn it on and off for our pets even if we are not home. We have a few parks around us that are just a short drive away. We have a large metal cage that’s available if needed. We have a very large fenced yard with lots of room for running and exploring! We have cameras around the house in almost every room for security, safety, and to catch funny moments. One camera is pointed at the dog cage as well for safety. For at your home: I will follow all acceptable and agreed upon rules and care for your pets the way that you tell me too! I will admit that sometimes I run a few minutes late due to having my 2 year son and my infant daughter with me! But for short visits (potty breaks) I can keep them in the car if needed!

About: I have experience caring for all types of animals: dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, etc. You name it, I can care for it! Whatever your needs may be, your pets will be in great hands! I plan to devote all of my time and effort into ensuring your animals get all of their needs met, whether you have a high energy pup who needs lots of stimulation or just a chill baby who wants to cuddle on the couch. I have a fenced-in backyard and a friendly dog to keep yours company! I can also easily provide crate training if necessary or requested. I have 3 cats who are very used to all other animals but can easily be put up if your animal doesn't like cats. Whether I watch your animals at my house or yours, I simply ask for a detailed list of everything you want/need done, specifically if they have any special needs.
“Angela was super nice and welcomed Benny in like her own. He seemed super happy when I picked him up! He usually gets anxiety when he is separated from me and tends to act out the rest of the day, but he has been his normal self all day since I picked him up from her! She took him for multiple walks and let him get lots of energy out! 5 stars and I will definitely be using Angela again!”

Between having a private backyard dog run and lots of toys, you can tell Jordan is a dog lover who knows how to take care of them. My puppy Reese was happy and comfortable there, getting to play with little kids and another dog. He came home wiped out! Jordan sent several photos during his stay and communicates really well. Definitely recommend her for your pup!
