“Great communication and willingness to help. I am so glad I found these two, and I will be using them as long as I am in the area. If you are deciding between sitters to watch/walk your dog, simply choose Krisanne and Gaston. You will be soooo happy you did.”
“Matthew takes great care of our kitties. He feeds and cleans according to our instructions and they are always happy and not stressed when we get home which tells us they were well taken care of.”
“Elizabeth took such great care of my anxious guy who has been having a hard time after our recent move. We did a longer drop-in and she comforted him with pets and reassurance while I was out. He didn't work himself up into frantic stress while I was gone, and we are working to make him feel more comfortable and safe in our new space. Would 10/10 recommend Elizebeth for anxious pets, separation anxiety, dogs going through any kind of transition, etc.”
“Sarah is the very best!! She’s taken such great care of our dog ever since she was a tiny puppy. Our dog is always so happy to see her when she visits and is worn out from the great time they had when we get home later in the day. Sarah has great communication with us during her visits and is flexible if we ever need to change dates or times for the scheduled visits. We feel confident that our dog is always in great hands when she’s here!! Thank you, Sarah!”
About: Like you I am a genuine animal lover, and together we only want what’s best for our pets! I have always felt connected to animals since childhood, so I found a career in it, I work in an animal hospital meaning I have training for pets large and small. This sets me apart because I know how to properly care for animals that have specials needs, take medications, and how to handle emergency situations, along with general care. I only give quality care because that’s what your pet and you deserve! I currently work full time Monday through Wednesday making me available Thursday through Sunday. I am available throughout each of those days as needed for walks, drop ins, and more. First, I prefer to start with the meet in greet to make sure you and your pet are completely comfortable with me. Next, I will make sure I can complete every task asked of me and then more. Lastly, I will send pictures and updates frequently so that you know your pet is receiving the best care.

“Morgan was so good with our pup, Tober and Tober took right to her! Morgan sent photos with every visit and Tober obviously had such a good time. Morgan was very responsive and communicative. I will definitely be rebooking with her!”
About: I’m new to Rover but I’ve owned and trained animals my entire life. I feel I have a special connection with animals because I generally know what their needs are and I respect them. I’m retired so except for vacationing, my schedule is flexible. No problem with times of day. Besides my own pets, I don’t have any other responsibilities. I feed mine twice a day and walk my dog once a day. My dog allows me to brush his teeth :). I like to play fetch with balls and frisbies
About: I pride myself in attention to detail in all I do. I have been around animals my whole life and care deeply. I understand their importance in our lives and our world. They deserve just as much love as we crave! I am currently in a job application phase with a flexible schedule. I can work with you. I have a car and am comfortable staying at your houses with them, especially if I am allowed to bring a friend to feel more safe. I am only offering care in your home or walks. I will work on my computer there and check on the dog as often as needed while I do so. Or I will work at my home or a library near you and stop in for walks and feedings.
“Jessica was such a nurturing care giver- great attention to detail and took multiple pictures during check-ins so I knew how my little cat was doing. A total sweetheart, will definitely ask for her help in the future!”
About: I have had dogs in my home since I can remember and have had many different pets growing up as well. Since we've been married (almost 25 years) we have owned several dogs, cats, bunnies, various rodents, snakes, lizards, hermit crabs, and fish! We have 6 kids who love animals as well, 3 of them currently living at home ages 15-20. You will feel comfortable with me as your animal sitter/walker because I have always had compassion for God's creatures, and I love animals (especially dogs)! I will care for them as if they are my own. I am a hairstylist part-time and just work down the street, so I have flexibility in my schedule to be home as often as i need to be. I have the time to spend with your animal playing, cuddling and walking them. We have a fenced-in yard, but I feel more comfortable keeping the animals indoors for the most part so I can keep an eye on them more closely. I don't ever let them outside without me, or their leash. My dog Sampson loves other dogs, and you can feel confident your dog will be in good hands with a loving family!
