About: For a few years, I kept exotic pets like fish and isopods. I've also volunteered at the Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and have spent time looking after the cats and dogs of my friends. I have practically infinite free time before college starts in the fall and my skating season is over, so I have lots of time and energy to make sure your pet has the bet experience possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I'm ready to do anything to keep them happy and healthy. I look forward to meeting the emotional, behavioral, and physical needs of your pet.
“Alena is very attentive to all special request and handled my large dogs excellently! It is clear she loves dogs and I would highly recommend her for care for any of your furry friends!”
About: Hi I can't express how deeply I care for dogs. They are such a blessing. I love them more than people lol. On serious note I've had dogs in my life for decades. I've fostered, adopted rescues, volunteered, donated and been /am a pet sitter. I know how nerve wrecking it can be boarding your pup but your furry family member will be safe and cared for with me. I also have played dog calming music for many dogs. I have a fenced yard and also my neighborhood has an abundance of trails for nice long walks. I can also take your pup to Starbucks for a puppichino! I can send you daily photos/videos if requested. So if your looking for a genuine, compassionate and responsible person who loves dogs then I hope to hear from you. * please note I take only one dog at a time however if you have 2 pups in your family feel free to reach out. I have plenty of time to play and care for your pup. I'm a homebody in general . I have indoor cameras throughout my home. I love taking pups on walks. My area has so many parks and trails. Also if your pup likes car rides to the park or a Starbucks drive -thru ride to get a pup cup ..my car is dog ready/friendly. My neighborhood is safe and dog friendly. Your pup is allowed everywhere in the house. I play dog calming music from YouTube and love playtime with dogs.
“Karen was extremely helpful and affectionate towards my cat T-Bone. She checked in every day and sent thoughtful and informative messages about my cat. Karen spent a lot of time with my cat during check-ins, and also helped with litter and checking my cat’s food and water dishes. Karen sent numerous pictures and videos after each visit. She was overall very flexible, a good communicator, and a great comfort while I was away from my pet. I really appreciate her help and would recommend.”
“Attn cat owners: MICHELLE IS AMAZING!!!!!! I booked Michelle for a long weekend doing 2 check-ins a day on my 1-year-old cat. She was friendly, professional, and super communicative. She also went above and beyond by bringing in our trash cans, newspapers, packages, and even gave the litter box a few courtesy cleans. I wish I could give her 6 stars, and will absolutely be booking her again in the future. Thanks Michelle!”
“Sachin, Was a great choice to walk and take care of my dogs. He suggested a meet and greet first, asked the right questions and has great communication skills and very quick response times. Updates were fantastic when he took my dogs out for their walk, updated me on their status. Will rebook for the future.”
About: 15 years of own pet care experience. I have cared for pets and volunteered on animal shelters before. I own a frenchie boy who is very calm , never barks and loves to eat. I co parent my pup, sometimes he wont be home and if needed on a case by case basis I can arrange to have your baby in my care alone :) Loved animals since little. I will love your pet like its my own. I’m a civil engineer with a frenchie pup working from home! Dog-walking or pet sitting will be a smooth addition to my daily routine that your pup and I will enjoy! Meet and greets needed for dog sitting. Will send you photos or text to let you know how your pet is doing! Please let me know of any fears your pup has. I typically let my dog sleep my couch or bed but will ask for permission first.
“Leah was fantastic! This was my first experience using Rover and it was such a great one! Leah was so caring for our animals (2 dogs and 3 cats). While we were away there were lots of storms which our dogs don’t like. Leah went the extra mile to stay with them and make them feel comfortable. She played with them and gave them lots of love. I could tell they were besties even before the end of the week! I will definitely use Leah again and would recommend her to anyone! She was the best!”
