“First time using rover and Allegra was amazing, took great care of all my animals and always sent pictures and let me know how they were doing! 10/10 would recommend her and will be using her again in future!”
“Kat was great with Kira on sort of short notice. She also had to deal with the extreme summer heat as well as unexpected people in the backyard working on the pool. Kira had a great time and was well taken care of.”
“We can’t thank Miqelle enough for the incredible care she gave our cat, while we were away. He requires daily medication, and Miqelle handled it with professionalism, consistency, and so much care. It’s such a relief to know we can rely on someone so attentive and experienced—especially when it comes to something as important as medication. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which helped us feel completely at ease. Wolfie was clearly comfortable and well looked after. We highly recommend Miqelle and will definitely book with her again!!”
About: We are a trio (Riven, Matt, Jason) that have mostly work from home schedules. We have individual Rover verified profiles, and this one is Rivens. I have lived with cats, dogs, and animals of all sorts my whole life. After growing up on a farm and being a founding member of the local 4H Club, my love for animals continued to fostering through rescues, volunteering, and my own pets such as my now passed 17 year cat named Moya, whom I had had since she was a few months old. For dogs, I am very active, and will love taking your furry family on long trails, swims, or dog parks! We around a lot of dogs over the course of the week, so we are unable to on any dogs that will not do well with others for more than an over night. If you have feline family, I am happy to play with crinkle balls, laser pointers, or be a lap as needed. For boarding, my Matt and Jason (also on Rover) and myself are home 95% of the day and can usually accommodate most pick up or drop off time, frequent potty breaks, and walks. For drop in visits we are avaliable to work in the Shirely and immediately surounding area. We have some flexibility with the schedule that we can work out if you're interested! We offer lots of human and other dog socialization in our home. We have people and dogs visitors in home as well as on walks to parks and rivers.
