4. Abigail C.
“Abigail was really great with my dog and cat. She really paid attention to details about the care of my babies. She made sure she understood the routine and even the little things that made my animals comfortable. Thank you Abigail for taking such good care of animals while I was away. I would definitely have Abigail come over again!”
5. Monique L.
“Anytime you leave your home and your pets in someone else's care, there is always this thought in the back of your head "Can I trust this person?" When it comes to Monique, the answer is "YES!" I would swear that the house looked better upon my return then it did before I left! My girl, Lucy, was super happy when we returned. Monique sent photos of Lucy playing in the yard with her dog (she asked in advance if she could bring her dog over). She did an excellent job of asking questions prior to the stay and providing communication to us while she was at our house. I will not hesitate to hire Monique to house/dog sit for us again. Thank you for a wonderful experience!”
6. Sydney B.
“Sydney was great! She's also very flexible. Our plans changed so much during the holidays due to COVID, but it was so easy to make changes with her. We'd use her again.”

8. Mykenzie J.
“Mykenzie is a wonderful young lady and I highly recommend her for house and pet sitting. Our birds warmed up to her quickly and she took very good care of them. We felt comfortable and secure with her house and pet sitting for us for a week while I was away having surgery.”

About: I am available 24/7 and deeply care for animals. I have schedules already created for your dogs to ensure they have the best visit ever My animals make me get up bright and early to start their morning routine. I make sure they use the bathroom, eat, play, and sleep. Their routine helps me stay on schedule. I make sure they get what they need if that's medications, diet planning, or even dogs that need intensive care. I will always put the animals first.
10. Jurnee W.
“Jurnee watched our house and 9 fur babies for a few days, and was AMAZING! There was a hard freeze while we were gone, so she was having to deal with the aftermath of frozen pipes on top of taking care of our kiddos. She sent us photos and updates of our dogs, cats, and goats every morning and night, and treated them like they were her own. We so appreciate everything she did for us, and highly recommend her! Thank you so much, Jurnee!”
11. Kaleigha W.
“had the absolute pleasure of working with my sister Kaleigha n a recent project that involved handling some of the most well-behaved, but sometimes challenging, dogs. I’ve always known she had a special connection with animals, but seeing her in action was truly impressive. There was a situation where a dog got a little too excited during a witness testimony session, and things could’ve easily spiraled. But Kaleigha handled it with such calm and confidence, not only soothing the dog but also keeping everything running smoothly. Her patience and understanding with the dogs are unmatched, and it's clear she truly cares about their well-being. She has a natural gift, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with in that environment. Whether it's managing a tricky situation or just giving the dogs the attention they need, kaleigha knows exactly how to make everything come together beautifully. It’s always a joy working alongside her, and I’m proud to call her not just my sister, but a true professional when it comes to working with dogs.”
12. Ness R.
“Vanessa works as a veterinary assistant for our small animal surgery specialty hospital. She is a conscientious, reliable, and trustworthy employee. She is always kind and comforting when handling our patients. I'm sure she will do a great job as a pet caregiver.”
13. Brianna E.
“She is the best and my pup absolutely loves her. I couldn’t have been happier. And will be booking with her most definitely in the future”
14. Audrey W.
“Audrey is very dependable and reliable. She's amazing with all animals and she will give them all the attention and love plus more. I'd rate her as a five star.”
15. Jasmine D.
“I highly recommend Jasmine as a dog care giver with Rover. She has been taking care of my Goldendoodle, Lucy, for the last 2 months, and I am so happy with the way she provides love, discipline (when needed), and active attention. Jasmine and her family are great at recognizing Lucy’s needs and putting them first. She regularly walks her, feeds her on a set schedule, and even sleeps with her. I am very confident in Jasmine, and I know any dog (and dog parent) would be lucky to have her!”
16. Catharine S.
“Catherine was upfront with her schedule, communicated well, and did a wonderful job. Especially with my 3 month old high energy puppy. I would recommend her!”
17. Venesa L.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around twelve years old, including multiple dogs staying at my house, visiting dogs every few hours, and staying at their house. I plan on majoring in Pre-vet at college and hope to gain experience working with multiple different types of dogs. As of right now I am at school during the day but after the second week in may I will be finished with school and available full time on weekdays and weekends. I have had dogs all my life including three big dogs and a small dog. I understand the needs and wants of dogs based on the signals they give like if they want to go outside or play.
