Katrina was great and Milo had a good time playing with her dogs and kids. She was flexible with drop off and pick up and gave lots of updates including pictures of their time together.

Angela and her family were wonderful with my two babies. They look great, supplies were returned nice and clean, and the pictures Angela sent from their stay made me feel a lot better about leaving them

This is our first Rover booking and we couldn't be happier. Brooke did an excellent job of making sure our "new to us" rescue dog had a good experience. Amee got to read stories at bedtime and take walks with the family. She'll be back for more fun.

Steve & his family did a wonderful job with Ollie. They accommodated all his senior needs and even took him downstairs when the thunder was making him anxious. I would highly recommend their pet sitting!

Nicole and her family took great care of my dog. I received lots of pictures and even a video of him. I will definitely use them again! Knowing he's getting attention really eases my mind since he is the baby of our family. Thank you Nicole!

About: I have had a lot of experience with dogs over the years and am just getting started with pet sitting. My priority is providing a safe and caring home for your pup while they are in my care. I currently have a yellow lab mix who loves other dogs. I have some experience with high energy dogs, nervous dogs, giving medicines, and helping finicky dogs eat. I work full time, but have a flexible job that will allow me to let your dog out as needed. Our routine includes three walks a day so I will make sure your pup is exercised. I am home evenings to spend with your dog. Weekends are the best times for me to board and your pup will be sure to get a lovely walk or hike! I have a comfortable and dog friendly apartment and access to a fenced yard/private dog park to play in. My yellow lab will love to keep your dog company, play, or show your dog the best places to nap. I can be flexible with whatever care instructions you need.

Libby did an outstanding job as always with my dog and cat. She graciously cared for them for an entire two weeks while I was away. She is so warm, kind, and flexible. My dog can be clingy with me when I leave him behind but he remembered Libby and was so happy to see her that he forgot all about me and danced over to greet her, his face completely lighting up and covering her with kisses.. That says everything about her wonderful loving care! So grateful for Libby!

Amanda spoiled our dog all weekend! Played catch and cuddled and let him take a nap in her lap (he's almost 100 lbs so that was above and beyond the call of duty)! Another plus is there were 4-5 large dogs for Osborne to play with in Amanda's fenced in backyard so he came home happily exhausted. Amanda was extremely flexible in drop off/pick up times which was greatly appreciated as we were heading out of town for the weekend. She also carefully monitored his food so he only ate his food and didn't sneak other dog food and get an upset stomach. Highly recommend Amanda!
