Kajae and Emily were awesome with Zoey. This was Zoey's first time staying with someone and away from home. They provided me with pictures and videos of Zoey playing with them and their daughter. I appreciated their involvement with her and knowing she was a bit nervous but they made her feel right at home. Thank you Emily and Kajae, also thanks to Brooke and their pet Sage!

My first time using Rover and best experience ever with Caitlin! It was my first time being without my pup for an extended period of time and I felt so at peace with her being with Caitlin. She sent updates and I loved to see our dogs playing so well together. :) it was like a little vacation for my girl! Caitlin also surprised us with the cutest little gift set for her! If you are in need of someone to watch your dog, I would highly recommend Caitlin! I will definitely be going back to her in the future. Thank you again!

Sydney was very responsive and our dog, Murphy, had the best time! Sydney sent pics and a video update to put my mind at ease, and I appreciated the communication. I highly recommend Sydney as a pet sitter and Murphy looks forward to a future stay!

Ashley and her family were great caregivers for our pup, Murphy! Communication was excellent (loved getting photo updates during the stay), and Murphy seemed to have really enjoyed her time at their home.

Jackie took amazing care of Daisy while I was away for the weekend. She came back happy and calmer than I expected as she is a very high anxiety dog. Definitely will be using Jackie’s boarding services again! Thank you so much☺️

Kendra did a great job taking care of my dog. I would use her again if I was in the area. It was my first time using Rover so I was hoping for a good experience. I was a little discombobulated having packed late or a camping trip. Even though I forgot to leave my dog's dishes and supplement Kendra took it all into stride. With the missing supplement she contacted me and and made sure she understood how the medication my dog is on were given before I left my pup with her. Throughout the entire process she was communicative responding quickly to any questions I had. It was a good introduction to Rover.

Mikayla helped me out when I was stranded in town for a funeral during a blizzard and my pre-arranged sitter canceled at the last minute. She sent me frequent photos and updates, and both pooches came back healthy and happy! Thank you so much for your help!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each dog or cat’s personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have experience working with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing basic training like potty routines, crate training, and positive behavior habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and attentive to mobility issues, medication schedules, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I’m also highly reliable and communicative—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, structured routines, or gentle, attentive care, I adapt to what works best for them. Above all, I aim to build trust—not just with pets, but with their owners too—so you can feel completely confident while you’re away. I am currently working full-time but with my scheduling I am able to build time around pets needs. Each day includes feeding, walks or playtime, and general check-ins to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable. I live in home with a fenced in yard. All animals are allowed in all rooms as well as furniture. I do have a crate if need be and two friendly doodles to keep your dog company with lots of toys to play with!

Our Gus came home happy and well cared for. We got lots of updates on him which we really enjoyed. Gus came home with an excellent “report card” from Renee, which was a super cute touch. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby 😊

Loved working with Ashley, she always kept me up to date on how my dogs were doing, she took the time to understand the needs of each of them personally. She had an amazing set up in her garage so each dog had their personally space. Wonderful fenced in yard for them to be safe while having a place to have fun. Definitely would book with Ashley again.
