“Patricia did a great job with my nervous little dog, Allie, who warmed up to her pretty quickly. She was very understanding of/compassionate toward Allie. I will definitely be booking her services again soon!”


“Keith was fantastic with our 14-year old Sophie! He was incredibly easy to work with. It is scary to let someone into your house and take care of your dogs, but as soon as I met Keith and his wife, I was immediately comforted. I cannot say enough good things about him and how much he cared for Sophie. Part of me doesn’t want to say so many good things because he’ll get too busy (ha!)”


“Amazing as always!”


“Leanne was kind and attentive to both of my pets. It put my mind at ease while out of town to know that they were in great hands while in her care. I would have her look after them again in a heartbeat.”


“Katja went above and beyond, making sure my Lucy was not only fed, but truly loved and appreciated. Katja sent me photos, which was a nice touch as I had never had to leave her for such a long time. It was my first time using Rover and thanks to Katja I would definitely recommend.”


“I am VERY happy with the care Josh provided my pups while I was out of town for the weekend! I was looking for last minute pet care (we are talking less than a 48hr notice 🙃) and Josh responded to my initial message right away, made time for a meet and greet before I left, and was available to schedule multiple drop-ins throughout the weekend. Thanks to Josh I was able to have a worry-free weekend knowing my dogs were safe, well cared for, and receiving lots of love and pets!”


“Hannah is the BEST!! Her communication, attention to detail, and warm heart make traveling and leaving the dogs in her care a joy. I will absolutely call her first next time I need a dog sitter!! 💗💗💗”


“Nicole took wonderful care of our three pets while we were away! Even our grumpy antisocial cat didn't seem to mind her, and she played with our dog when she visited, which was greatly appreciated!”


“Addie was so kind and thoughtful when taking care of Penny. She went above and beyond to help and communicate with me. I would recommend her a million times to anyone looking for fantastic service and care!!!!!”


“Ashly was skilled at providing detailed updates while we were gone about our areas of concern flr our teo kitties, 7 and 2 years old. She sent ample photos, had great attention to detail, got our kitties their medication and gave them love and affections. We felt so grateful to have found her and our minds were at ease while we were gone.”


“Jenn did a great job of handling a challenging situation with one of my cats while I was away. Her clear communication and photos were so helpful. I appreciate her understanding, capable, and confident care of my cats. Thanks again Jenn!”



“What a live safer to know Jan was coming to check on my sweet old anxiety-ridden girl. I’m grateful to have had such a caring person spend time with her. Thanks, Jan!”



About: I was born an animal lover and an outdoorsy person! I have always had a dog(s), and I feel at peace when a four legged companion is at my side. My favorite time is spent outside with my two kids and two dogs. I should say, my four kids because they are like siblings. I'd be happy to take your furry family member on a walk as needed. I know how much they love being outside, and I know the piece of mind you'll feel knowing they have had a break in their day. My family and I even volunteer for a local rescue, walking dogs who don't have a foster home yet and are staying at a boarding facility. We also fostered one dog. It was so hard letting her go when she was adopted, I haven't done it since. I can work with all sizes of dogs, from a Shipoo to a Great Dane. And I enjoy all ages, from a puppy, to an adolescent, to a senior. I love them all! I look forward to getting to know your pup. I have a very flexible part time job which allows me to take time to spend with your pup…whether it’s a walk, play-time or a let out with some fun. I will always treat your pet as if they are my own. Making sure their pup needs our mat will always include lots of love and attention.

“I was in a pinch and requested a visit from Jennifer who was quick to respond and agree to visit our pup! Thank you Jennifer.”


“Casey is the best kitty sitter! She spent extra time with Remy and had lots of play time. I never have to worry about him when she is booked❣️”


“Maggie is the best! I know I can trust her with my pup!”


“Taite was wonderful! Very professional & took notes and asked questions during our meet and greet. She was kind, prompt to the visits and communicated the entire time. Our cats loved her! Will be booking again.”


“Katie is wonderful. Katie took time out of her own schedule to meet and greet our family and puppies. It is very clear that she loves dogs and they love her too! She is very kind and compassionate with our 2 puppies! Katie is very flexible and willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you and your fur babies are happy! She sends pictures and updates while watching your pup which is so reassuring. We have already booked her for more drop in visits for our 2 puppies.”

“Paige came and met Jackson beforehand and I had no worries while we were gone that he was in good hands! We look forward to having her stop in again”


“Nikki was great! It was our first time using Rover and I was so nervous but Nikki made the experience great! She was very responsive during her drop in visits and provided us plenty of updates and pictures that put our mind at ease. She spent extra time with our pup and always had his best interest in mind. We will be using Nikki again in the future!”
