Did an awesome job with my puppy, arrived on time, amazing communication. Morgan also accommodated both all my requests as well as the hoops my apartment building requires for recurring visitors (not many, but still) I’m planning to rebook regularly.

Ella, I can’t thank you enough for coming in to play with Frida and make sure she was taken care of. I just got back to a happy and clean home. Thank you! We will definitely coordinate again to have you come be with Frida.

About: I’m the friend who always gets the "can you watch my dog?" call because I’ve been around pups of all shapes and sizes since I was five. That lifetime of experience means I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a rambunctious puppy as I am providing a calm, gentle environment for a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience. Pet care fits perfectly into my active lifestyle. My days already revolve around long walks and staying moving, so your pup becomes my dedicated plus-one for every adventure. My schedule is flexible, and when I’m with your pet, they are my main priority—I treat their routine with the same care and focus I give my own. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect I’d want for my own. Whether we're hanging out at my place or yours, I focus on creating a secure, "paws-on" environment where routines are followed strictly so your pet feels safe. I’m all about clear updates and total transparency, so you can relax knowing they’re in good, experienced hands.

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and play with their dogs. I currently own a golden retriever who is downright spoiled! I also love cats! I recently rescued a kitty after the passing of our other cat, that is super energetic and lovable. My dream is to one day own enough land to rescue and foster several dogs, cats, goats, and chickens! I work remotely and my job is very flexible, so I can be very accommodating to your schedule! I’m also a very active person, so I’d love to take your dog out for a walk or even a run if they enjoy that! I’m very responsible. I’ve owned my own dog for 5 years and grew up with 3 dogs in my family that I was responsible for caring for in some capacity. I also own a cat, so I’m very familiar cleaning the litter, feeding, and even administering medications. I understand how stressful it is leaving your animals (I get very anxious myself), so I am happy to flood your phone with pictures to ensure your baby is well taken care of :)

Doug has been the best dog Walker so far for Ollie! But today we found out Doug is also the best dog sitter! He came over and cared for and played and fed for Ollie while we were out for the day. We feel so safe have Doug care for our sweet Ollie!

About: 20 years experience as a dog trainer. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. I really love what I do. This isn’t just a job for me but it’s an absolute blessing to be able to love your pet as if they were my own! I have been dog training, caring, fostering, and sitting for a long time so I know pets. I can tell when something seems off with your pet and will go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, secured, and loved beyond words. Friends, family, and clients know that they are trusting their loved ones to a well-established, educated, and experienced professional - just call me the Dog Whisperer! Every pet is an individual with unique behavior, so I offer personalized pet care to provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. You don’t have to wonder who is caring for your furry family members. I’m self-employed so I’ll have plenty of time to play, care for, walk, and train your pup if needed! I’m available for your doggy day care and boarding needs! ‼️VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ‼️ DOGGY DAY CARE is a total of 10 hours. Anything beyond that is $10 an hour. Any care that requires late pick up between 9pm-11pm an additional flat fee of $20 will incur regardless if care is under 10 hours. All fees will be modified in your Rover account. Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding ☺️. For boarding, Rover will automatically adjust extended stay rates as needed. If you’re looking for a place that can easily accommodate your fur baby then look no further. I have a comfy home and a friendly service dog to keep your fur baby company. They are free to roam, or I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I live in an extremely dog-friendly community that has gated and open field dog parks so your pet will have plenty of options.

Melissa was so great to work with and I can’t wait for her to stop by to see our pup Daisy again! She came over to meet Daisy before our first drop-in and it was an instant hit. I felt so comfortable before, during, and after the visit with all of Melissa’s great questions and update, and I know Daisy loved having someone come shower her with affection when I was out for a long day. We’ll definitely ask Melissa to come back again!

Heather checked in on my kitties over my 4 day vacation and I could not be happier with how she took care of them. She was great with communication throughout and shared great photos/overview of each visit. Her experience with animals definitely shows in her interactions with pets and I feel truly at ease knowing my kitties are in great hands with her. :)

Mahaam took care of my cat over the past five days and she was fantastic. She reliably cleaned the litter box, fed my cat and even cleaned up when my cat threw up, which I appreciated more than she knows. Her updates were reassuring, her care was thoughtful and it was clear she genuinely wanted my cat to feel comfortable while I was away. I’d absolutely request her again the next time I’m traveling.

Julie is the best!! I booked with a few other sitters before and I can confidently say that Julie is by far the most reliable and caring one. My dog was happy and tired when we came home - Julie took him on multiple walks and his favorite park. His breakfast and dinner schedules were perfectly on time and I appreciated the many photo updates I received throughout the day. Will definitely book with Julie again!
