Monica and Binx got along great! He got lots of snuggles and play time. I could tell from the photos that he was very happy to have someone to spend time with. I would definitely recommend Monica!

We had a great first rover experience with Chelsie! She was one time for every drop-in and has great communication. Loved reading her notes and seeing photos of our cat while we were away! Highly recommend :)

Cassidy was a life saver, coming for a meet & greet & then booking last minute the day before when our other plans fell through. She was an instant hit with our 2 rambunctious boys, had great communication & sent lots of fun pics of the boys! Would definitely book her again!

Very knowledgeable, engaged, timely, and kept me up to speed after each visit with notes and lots of photos. Javon made house visits to care for my attention-loving, high energy goof dog and aloof old-man cat. The boys are happy, which is a night and day difference from the times we chose to do conventional boarding.

Kiara did an amazing job with our kitties while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent communicator, kind and very easy to work with, and our cats took to her immediately (even our suspicious younger one!). We have an older cat with some medical needs and Kiara put our minds fully at ease with her extensive experience fostering and caring for numerous animals. I would highly recommend her!

It was such a relief to know our dogs were being well cared for by Kaylee while we were away. She’s a friendly, positive person that provided frequent pictures and communication while we were away from home. I only hope our pups were behaved well enough that she will want to return!!

Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!

John was a wonderful dog sitter!! John kept me updated during his stay with our dog.. He even picked up and dropped off which saved us a lot of time. John was very good and took extra time with our dog. Would definitely recommend him and rebook with him! Our dog loved his time with John!

Tabatha is AMAZING!!!!! We want to use her for every trip and even just some play dates between. Lola was spoiled rotten and wasn’t even happy to see us when we got back, I think she wanted her sitter instead of us! ???♥️♥️♥️

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. Dogs need a loving companion and enough attention and food and water and love. I work full-time either 7:00 to 3:00 or 6:00 to 2:00. I can pick up your pet after 3:00. I travel almost an hour to work I live in an apartment and I let them go out on the balcony. They don't bother the neighbors and most of my neighbors have dogs.

Super friendly, easy to coordinate with and attentive. Rambo is not a fan of almost anyone and he let Stephanie pet him so that’s a win in my book! I received updates every time she checked on him and a picture of him. Would absolutely book her again!!

About: Growing up I have always had 2-3 dogs in my home at a time whom I have attended therapy animal training classes with, and now I have my own little furball named Professor Wigglebottom. I have experience working with and handling dogs with leash reactivity (my current little guy is reactive) so that is not an issue for me. I have also been house-sitting dogs for neighbors and various co-workers since the age of 15. Neighbors, friends, family and coworkers have also relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they were on vacation or out of town. I am currently working full-time as a Graphic Designer but I am available after 6pm on weekdays and often any time during the weekends for visits. I always take into account the needs of your fur baby, as each dog is different and requires varying different levels of care and attention.
