“Jordan is amazing. She helped care for and tried to encourage my sweet Rogue until she passed away. She was very supportive and understanding over the last month dealing with a sick dog. She is a god send.”

“Beth did great with our pups while we were away. I could tell they were comfortable with her right away. She was prompt with the check ins and played with them when she stopped by. She sent pictures and updates often! Would highly recommend :)”

About: I have been taking car of all kinds of dogs for years. I've watched dogs from Labrador puppies to senior German Shepards. I've owned dogs my whole life and I've always had a special bond with them. Dogs usually gravitate towards me because I am a very fun and light hearted person. My friends often refer to me as a Disney princess because of how I am with animals. I belive all animals need love and respect and I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I am a nanny for a mother of three during the day but I am usually only needed two or three days a week so my weekends are completely free. Even days when I watch my kids I am off by 3pm and can spend evenings with the pets. I have several dogs of my own so my house is fully equipped with w fenced in yard and my house is pet safe. In regards to a clients home I would of course check what the client has in place but as a pet owner I am also aware pets can be sneaky and love to get into mischief. I am always checking on clients pets making sure they are safe and not getting into things they shouldn't. I am also certified in pet cpr and massage therapy incase a pet does get into distress or if they need some other help with pain. Over all my priority is always the health and safety of my client beloved pets.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was about 8 years old. When I got my own house, started taking care of two dogs, one cat and two reptiles. I give them baths, cut their nails, cut their hair and take them to the vet when needed. My pets have relied on me to clean their bowls daily along with taking their medications. I also have experience with rescued animals since I volunteered for the SPCA for a whole year. Day care hours are between 8 am to 8 pm. Earliest time for dog boarding drop off is 8 am and the latest pickup is at 8 pm. I'm currently going to school full time online so I have all the time to stay in and take care of your pets and even take them on walks I have a fenced yard, two other small dogs (Shiba and Corgi) and my house even has a doggy door. The water is housed in a big clean container so they're always hydrated. Toys are all reachable in low baskets. There are old pillows in cases for additional bedding in less invasive areas
“Emily was great with my cat Tumbleweed! She sent lots of pictures with written descriptions of what went on and how he was doing and I came home to a happy and healthy cat!”


“Alyssa is thoughtful, reliable throughout airport delays, and great with my grumpy cat. I can tell from the pictures that my little old lady really appreciates the company in addition to the food delivery!”

“Haley was wonderful! She was always on time, followed every silly instruction we had for our cats, and we appreciate her availability on a holiday weekend. I highly recommend her!”

“I’m the type of person who said I’d never be able to let a stranger watch my babies. I found myself in a position where I needed to break that rule and Hannah was so wonderful that I wasn’t stressed at all about leaving her with my pets. She and her daughter came over every day to play with, feed, and care for my babies. She was very communicative, innovative when any pets might not eat enough or seem too stressed, and knowledgeable. She was willing to try any ideas I had on how to help my pets cope, too (my dog especially is a very anxious boy). I truly believe that Hannah and her daughter loved my pets like I do and I couldn’t be happier with how their visits went. I cannot recommend Hannah enough.”

About: I have always had love and compassion for all animals. However, after caring for my beloved Dreamy I new that caring for dogs was my passion and I wanted to share it with others. Friends and family have entrusted to me to care for their four legged family members from puppies to seniors . Unfortunately, I am not on-site during traditional weekday work hours. If you decide you would like to entrust me with caring for your fur baby you can be assured that I will take all necessary measures to assure their safety and comfort in my absence. I am on-site evenings, weekends and most goverment holidays. I have a pretty flexible personal schedule as well, with few obligations. There are no children or other pets in my home so your baby will get my undivided attention. I have a fenced backyard where we can play and the babies can get plenty of exercise. I am an active person and love to have the babies accompany me on walks, visits, and errands.

About: I have personally taken care of my dog for 7 years and I have taken dog sat countless others. Big dogs are treated with the same high level care as others. I’m currently part time and can easily do mornings and afternoons for your pets. As of now weekdays only but open to weekends as well. I treat other houses with the same high level respect as I treat my own. Pet cleanliness is my focus when returning them to their owners.
About: I have taken care of many different types of pets and was a pet sitter in my old neighborhood. I have looked after various dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, Fish, and Bunnies. I have also owned many pets of my own and have experience with them. I currently own a senior kitty who is my best friend but have previously lived with high-energy Jack Russel/corgi mixes and owned Guinea pigs, Hamsters, Beta Fish, and a lot of cats. I am mostly an open book and am free throughout the day. Feel free to message me and ask before booking or take a look at my posted calendar. I have great experience especially with cats and dogs. I will take them on long walks or potty breaks/ feed them for you. Whatever you need :)

South Norfolk pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was my first time using Rover, and Mary made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Anytime I had a question or remembered something I forgot to mention, she handled it with no problem at all. Salem absolutely adored her, and it meant so much to get daily pictures and updates while I was away. I could tell Salem was in great hands. I will definitely be using Mary again in the future!

Rodney has been amazing!! I had to go out of town unexpectedly for an extended period of time and after our first meeting, I knew I’d found someone who would take care of my babies while I was away and I wouldn’t have to worry. He was so communicative and easy to work with and my 3 fluffy kitties were well looked after! As a huge bonus he also helped keep my place clean while I was gone so I didn’t come home to a thick layer of cat hair everywhere (long haired cats are fine aren’t they?). Thank you so much Rodney, you’re the best!!!

Kiara was amazing at caring for our 2 BIG babies. She was extremely responsive, timely, and flexible. One of our pups has anxiety and had an accident. Kiara took the time to clean up the mess and immediately notified me. Her patience and loved for animals is apparent! Thank you again!!!
