Carissa was amazing with my baby boy. She kept me up to date on everything while I was working during a very hectic week. I truly appreciated her attention to detail and her overall care while I was away from him. Thank you so much!

Cara was awesome with coming over to first meet my dogs and making sure they were a good fit, especially since I have a dog with special needs. Both of my dogs loved her! She is very friendly, quick to respond and answered all of my questions. I got lots of pictures after their first check-in which I appreciate. I had happy dogs when I got home and it was very nice not having to worry about them while I wasn't home. I will definitely book with Cara again!

About: I had a pet dog Lucy since I was in 2nd grade. I would feed her, walked her, let her outside to play in the backyard, and made sure she had plenty of water. I cared for her. I'm in-between jobs right now so if you need help when you are on vacation, work late, or any other reason then let me know and I will help take care of your dog. I would care for them like they are my own. I will follow a schedule if you have one. I willing to communicate with you if you have concerns about your dog or anything else that matter.

Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!

We have been using Ryan for in-home visits. Since the initial meet and greet, he got along great with my dog. Ryan took notes to remember the pet’s preferences and commands. Ryan’s Rover cards have sweet pics and a detailed summary of the visit It’s clear that Ryan loves dogs and is great with them. For example, he adjusts my dogs bedding in his crate before leaving him, which is a very nice touch. My dog loves him and I feel that my dog is in great hands with Ryan.

Highly recommend Jen! I feel like we are leaving our fur baby with a family member when Jen watches him. Her updates are so detailed and you can tell she really cares. Our dog is a finicky eater, especially when we go away, but Jen kept trying several different tricks and got him to eat. She is amazing and I plan on using her for all our future needs.

Elyse is always the best, and goes above and beyond - in this case by helping to dry the rugs I had to wash the morning I left thanks to my cat doing some cat business where he oughtn’t. She took good care of him and kept him happy while I was away.
