“Tiffani was excellent! She gave our fur babies great care and attention. She took care of everything we asked. I got regular updates and all was well when we got home. Thank you again!”
About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog
“Peace of Mind and Five-Star Care We cannot recommend Luna highly enough. She is professional, an excellent communicator, and she treated our pets as if they were her own. From the beginning, Luna was punctual and asked for detailed instructions, which she followed to the letter. She was diligent about updating the Rover scorecard with great photos, and she stayed for the entire booked time. Luna has a wonderful way with animals. She expertly handled our 85-pound German Shepherd on multiple walks, even on hot days, while always being mindful of her comfort. She also spent plenty of quality time playing with our cat. What truly set her apart was how she handled an unexpected issue. Our basement flooded (through no fault of her own), and she notified us immediately, offering to help in any way she could. In a very thoughtful gesture, she even texted after her stay just to check on the situation. She saved us many hours of clean up in our basement because she took action immediately upon discovering the basement beginning to flood. We came home to happy and relaxed pets who clearly had a great time with her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Luna and will be booking her for all our future needs. Thank you, Luna!”

“Nia was amazing! She made sure our cat had everything he needed, and it was great knowing Nia has veterinary experience too! For sure kept my mind at ease while we were away. We will be booking her for all our future trips!”
“So grateful for Jessie’s drop in visits for my cat while I was out of town! She provided great care and shared updates and photos daily! Very happy and would book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life.

“Our dogs LOVE her, and she is very attentive and loving to our pups. She is prompt, flexible, friendly, has excellent communication and is overall a delight. I STRONGLY recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to walk or care for their fur babies.”
Morgan K.
“Morgan adores animals of all kinds, but especially dogs. At a young age, Morgan was able to prove responsible and trustworthy to take care of her own pet, and would often be asked to tend to friends and family’s pets as well. There is something about a dog’s tail wagging that makes Morgan happy. She has always been noticed in school and in the jobs she’s held to be a hard worker, kind, and courteous.”

“Lissie is so good with animals. She has two dogs of her own and three cats. She is probably the best animal mom I know. She makes sure they have what they need and all the snacks. She walks them all the time and make sure they get all the outside time they need. So I can only imagine how she spoil other animals ❤️”
