About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dog breeds. I bring treats to train the dog with simple tricks! I also will care for cats. I currently work a 2-2-3 schedule at a Biotech/Pharmaceutical company where we make the Flu vaccines. It enables me to have a variety of days off where I can do something for extra income! I have a 10x10 dog kennel. I have a super friendly puppy and cat that is harmless. I can put your fur baby in the XL KONG crate I have if needed or even if you want them to be crate trained.
“Emily was amazing!! This was our first time using Rover and we could not be more satisfied. She did great with our big pup and sent us lots of pictures while we were gone which put my mind at ease! Would definitely recommend Emily and use her again!!”

“Francesca is awesome! 5 out of 5 would recommend! Having never used this site or a dog sitter I was a little hesitant to let a stranger stay in my home and take care of my dog Stormy, but after meeting Francesca all my concerns were put to rest. She went above and beyond while taking care of Stormy. Daily updates and pictures made it so much easier to relax knowing my girl was getting lots of love and attention. She even got Stormy to eat all of her food which was HUGE! Every time have left town and had friends check on her she hardly eats anything. Francesca will be my number one choice anytime I plan on leaving town again!”

“Sara was great. She came by a week prior to meet the dogs and figure out what they needed. She gave daily updates and took good care of the dogs and my home. I highly recommend her!”

“Christina is the sweetest and our pets love her. Our little dog gets visibly depressed when he can tell we’re leaving, Christina showed up and he didn’t even care anymore. He was just ready to play with her. She is great”

About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.
“Molly did a fantastic job with our pooches while we were out of the country. She sent plenty of photos and updates, worked hard to get the dogs to socialize with her (Goose finally warmed up after a few days, but Molly didn’t take it personally😉), and sent video updates. She stayed in our home and kept everything neat and in order. We will definitely be calling Molly for future needs. Our dogs were cared for and had fun too.”

“Maria was fantastic! Very responsive, sent lots of photos and kept me completely up to date when she was taking care of my pup! Would highly recommended, thank you again for taking such great care of him”

“Brooke was absolutely wonderful with Crash and Jackson! This was our first time using her, and she exceeded our expectations. Jackson can be a little skittish with new people, but Brooke was so patient with him, taking the time to let him warm up at his own pace. By the end of the stay, the two of them were sharing cuddles on the couch! Crash was happy and well cared for too. You could tell Brooke genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own.

Katherine was extremely pleasant to interact with. She responds quickly and is very positive. This was our first time doing a weekend away and Katherine helped us feel okay. We learned some lessons about being very prescriptive about expectations. We were very pleased to come home to happy, healthy dogs and a clean house.
