Theresa has watched my shitzu on various occasions. She is very good with them and very attentive to them. She has great patience with their needs and I would recommend her watching other dogs. Theresa would be a great asset to Rover. Thank you.

This is my second dog that Brittany and Branson have cared for. This time it is a very energetic Cavapoo named Wyatt. Brittany is always prompt, notified me of any concerns and leaves a full update of her visit and a few pictures. Wyatt is always in a great mood when I come home and obviously was well cared for and had some fun too!!! Couldn't be happier with his care!!

Before going to rover for my pet care needs I got Michelle’s card for Puppy Loves Pet Services. I recently got 2 shepskys puppies wasn’t sure how I was going to handle two puppies at 8 weeks old (also being a single mom of two children 2 & 8). Michelle just recently started training the puppies at my house which makes it so convenient for the kids and me. the advice and knowledge that she gives to us each week is amazing the kids are learning every week something new that they can teach the dogs and be involved. Michelle is so patient with the dogs and the kids and myself because before her we were lost on what to do never really professionally trained other dogs I have had in the past . I highly recommend Michelle for all of your dog needs you won’t be disappointed.

Tanya has watched my previous dog several times before. She is by far the best person to have take care of your pet! She treats any animal as her own and makes sure they are taken care of and loved. She will send you photos of your pet and it makes me feel at ease knowing my animal is in good hands. I have never worried about my dog when she has watched him. Your pet will be in good hands with Tanya!

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was born, ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, birds, turtles.. And since I was young I helped care for them! Once I hit my pre-teen years I began volunteering at animal shelters, helping with animals of all kinds! I once even held a fundraiser in middle school for a local shelter who needed help gathering supplies for their pets. I have experience with animals who need medications or have special needs! I personally have a small elderly chihuahua and assist my parents in caring for their young energetic german shepherd. I’m currently a college student focusing on my education, so I have plenty of time to assist you with all your pet care needs! I’ll be available to stay with your fur babies for as long as you need me to, with no disruptions! Since I have a pet of my own I’m unable to house-sit in my own house, but I’ll love your fur baby in their own home just how you want me to! I’ll respect any and all rules and make sure I follow instructions to a T! I won’t bring anything with me when I care for your pet that could pose as a risk to them and their health.

Jaymee took care of our dog and 2 cats while we were on vacation. In the past the dog had gotten sick “pining” for us, this time it didn’t happen. Jaymee exercised the dog, and played with the cats, fed them, kept the water fountain clean etc while we were gone. We will definitely call her again when we need her!

About: I have done housekeeping for 10yrs and have always offered pet-potty-breaks; I am ready to switch to pet-care and clean up their occasional mess! I am comfortable around big dogs and angry cats, we can figure it out! Most animals like me, but I understand that some pets just aren't fans of visitors. I am available any time during the day. I prefer to do drop-ins while the sun is still out, but obviously that can't always happen in winter. I will spend as much time as I can with the pets. I throw in an earbud and listen to a podcast, check the home for any accidents, and then play with them as much as they can handle!

About: I have had dogs all my life, I currently have two small chihuahua/ yorkie mixs that are brother and sister (Gus & Sadie) that I treat more like children then dogs! I have experience with big dogs as well! I'm a stay at home mom so I am home most of the time other then appointments or going to the park, I do work 2 days a week but my partner will be home on those days so someone is always home. I can follow the same schedules you have for your pet or any special instructions, feeding, diets etc. If your dog likes to cuddle I allow dogs on the couch make them feel more at home.

Jessica has been walking my Beagle regularly while I am recovering from a broken ankle. She arrives on time and gives my dog a good long walk. When my dog sees Jessica coming she gets so excited to see her and I think the feeling is mutual! We are very happy with Jessica!
