“Appreciate Trina so very much and her care for Sunny, as well as my home when I need to be away. Her communication is always on point and she’s as reliable as the sun coming up each day.”

“Had a little difficulty with figuring out the schedule at first, but that was sorted out quickly. My dog had a health issue and Steve was very helpful in managing this and very patient with our pup.”

“Ashley was absolutely fantastic! She watched my two dogs overnight. My newest pup had some anxiety and acted aggressively and Ashley was great, she kept me updated and worked with Oliver to make him more comfortable. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“Selena took care of our pup on short notice and did a great job! She made us feel super comfortable by meeting us/our dog a few times before we left for our trip. She sent photos every day and our usually shy pup warmed up pretty quickly!”

“Lexi was great! She stayed at my house with my pups and gave them all kinds of snuggles and love and sent me pictures and messages as updates. She left the house as she found it. I’d definitely recommend Lexi to take care of your pets!”

“Brendle was delightful and our 2 dogs had the best time with her. She hung out with them for 5 hours while we went to watch our son’s championship game. Brendle took them on a 2 mile hike, played ball at the park, and they were thoroughly and happily exhausted at the end of her stay. I cannot say enough nice things about Brendle! She is a gem!”

About: I'm an active volunteer with a local animal shelter, where I work hands-on with dogs of many ages, sizes, temperaments, I have experience caring for shy, anxious, high-energy, and sensitive dogs, and I'm comfortable with reading canine body language, building trust, and providing calm, reliable care tailored to each dog's needs. Pet care is part of my regular routine through weekend availability when I'm off work. I plan my schedule around providing attentive, consistent care, including walks, feeding, enrichment and companionship, so each dog receives focused, unhurried attention. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and preferred activities. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, by moving at their pace and reading their body language. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm, attentive interaction, whether that means exercise and playtime or quiet companionship. In a client's home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“Ashlyn came in so clutch helping me out last minute with taking care of my puppy, Stella. She communicated very well, was so positive even though i know my puppy is teething and kind of a pain! And she showed up and left when she said she would. Very much appreciate her consciousness and kindness when caring for my baby!! I would trust her in my home again anytime”

Shady Grove pet parents share their Rover experiences
We missed our dogs terribly while away on vacation, but never once were we worried about how they were at home. Carson kept us updated with daily pictures or notes about how they were doing. It was clear how much they immediately took to him and how happy they were with him around. And on top of that, he took some incredible action shots of our dog flipping for the frisbee, which he threw for her each day the sun was shining. We are extremely grateful for the wonderful care Carson gave our dogs and the peace of mind he gave us while traveling. Absolutely recommend him and will hopefully work with him again in the future!
