“Liv was amazing with my dog. My dog needs extra attention and Liv was very patient and caring by going that extra mile to make sure my dog got what he needed. She was on point with times, cleaned up after my dog and played with him. I was getting updates on a daily with the walks and pictures of him being fed. I was worry free knowing that my dog was in good hands. Liv went far beyond my expectations and I will definitely look forward to rebooking again.”

12. Judy O.
“My dogs have been staying here for years The owner is great Always super friendly Couldn’t be happier with them! I highly recommend giving them a try !!”
13. Barbora A.
“Barbora is an EXCELLENT sitter/walker for your four pawed babies. She is much more than a pet sitter/walker, she truly becomes part of the family. After being with your four pawed babies just once your babies would choose her themselves if they could speak. Her care with them is truly 1 on 1 and whatever needs you want her to focus on she will. She keeps them so active and mentally busy and they just absolutely LOVE her as do I and as I am sure if you give her the chance so will you :)”
14. kaitlyn b.
“Kaitlyn was such an amazing pet watcher!! she provided such safe and proper caring for my dog and cat. She was very through with following the instructions we provided for her and was very communicative. She was even willing to drive 45 to take my dog to a grooming. My pets were very sad to see her leave but will definitely hire her to care for them again! I definitely recommend kaitlyn to watch your pets!!”

About: I have had several years of experience in a professional setting as a Vet Tech along with growing up taking care of different animals ranging from large breed Pitbulls to dwarf hamsters. I can easily adapt and cater to your pets needs based on their life stages or health conditions. I do currently work, but my schedule allows me to have several days off in a row. From Saturday after 2pm through Tuesday night I am available for your pet anytime! When staying in my clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. I provide personalized care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and administering any necessary medications. I also keep your home tidy and treat it with respect, ensuring everything is as you left it. My goal is to provide loving, professional care so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone.
16. Katherine T.
“Katherine would be an excellent candidate for a Rover Sitter. She’s an excellent fur baby mama to Athena 130 pounds of pure love. She sleeps in the bed with her every night. She shares the couch with her every day. Athena gets more space in the bed than Katherine does. She’s an animal of her through and through and would love to have more fur babies in the house for her to play with the kids to play with and Athena to play with.”
17. Brittani P.
“Brittani has cared for my 17 year old senior pet when she was sick, and I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my baby Cocoa. She really went out of her way to make her feel comfortable and knew exactly what my dog needed to feel safe and happy. She has cared for a wide range of breeds and it’s so nice to trust that there are such great people like Brittani to care for your pets when you yourself are unable to. Highly recommend!”
18. Shelby L.
“Shelby is one of the sweetest and most trustworthy people I know. Our dogs really are our babies and we fully trust Shelby to take care of our furbabies.”
19. Charlie L.
“Charlie’s great. Dude had a blast with her.”
20. gabriella R.
“Gabriella has been a friend and helper with my dog (a 110 lb. German Shepard Dog) and has always been nurturing and responsible with her. She is also a very loving pet owner with both a dog and cat that she love more than anything else in her life. I'm confident that you will find no better dog sitter or walker anywhere!”
