“Michelle was super kind, flexible, and took great care of my pup!! He got lots of exercise and attention & she kept me updated on the schedule, followed all instructions, and provided pictures. Thank you!!”


“This was probably the best experience I’ve had away from my dogs. Lillian was so attentive, so easy to communicate with, and brings a genuine peaceful presence. I got text updates and pictures of my pups seeming so happy, so in their element. I WILL be using her again, actually immediately booking for my next trip!!!”


“Kendall did an excellent job watching our pets (two dogs and a cat) for a week. She would go outside with our dogs multiple times a day, and kept everyone fed and entertained, which is no small task with our high maintenance, routine oriented cat. We came back to three happy, healthy pets thanks to Kendall. Would definitely book with Kendall again.”
“Dawn is super nice! She is very responsible, she spent with our Sophie 2 days , she sent pictures and update all the time. When I came back it was complete order in the my home. She has the best service I have ever had. I'll defenetly book her again.”

“Evie stayed at our home, over the long holiday weekend, to watch our two large Labradors. She provided excellent care, and played with them often in our backyard. Evie was a wonderful house guest! You couldn’t even tell she had been staying there. She provided great communication which was a huge plus, so we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies. We look forward to using Evie for our next trip away!”


About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Hannah went above and beyond to make sure our fur babies and house were loved and well taken care of. She sent us pictures with updates and did a generally amazing job taking care of our dogs and home. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for professional care taker.”

“Bobbie went over and above with all my pets. Oliver is blind and still acts like a puppy so he can be a handful but Bobbie and her family treated him like one i or f their own. I could tell that he was super comfortable in their care. She took the best possible care of Dottie and Toby as well. Bobbie was awesome with the daily pics and updates and was very flexible with our vacation schedule. We’ll be using her on our next vacation for sure.”

“Claire was great! She stayed at our home for the weekend and took great care of our 1.5 year old Boston. We loved getting photos and videos throughout the weekend of our pup. This was our first Rover experience and Claire made it very smooth and worry free! ?”

“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”


“Katy is an absolute gift to the Rover community. Leaving our dog and cat with a non-family member for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Katy immediately put all our anxieties to rest. From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our pets adored her. Even my normally shy cat—who usually hides from visitors—came right out to greet her. Honestly, it felt like our pets had known her in a past life; that’s how comfortable they were! Katy is reliable, punctual, and goes above and beyond. She asked all the right questions, sent some of the best photos of our pets we’ve ever seen, and even came early and stayed late to make sure our dogs got extra potty breaks. Her detailed updates and genuine kindness made being away so much easier. I almost hesitate to leave this glowing review because I know everyone will want to book her, but she truly deserves it. If you book with Katy, you won’t regret it!”

“Hallejia was an amazing dog sitter. She and Willow got along great. I attribute that to her coming and meeting Willow ahead of time and taking her time to get to know her. Hallejia is very attentive, caring and kind. I loved her the moment I met her which made me feel comfortable leaving Willow. She familiarized herself with Willow’s routine and habits. And Halleija is so flexible. I had to change some things at the last minute and she was so accommodating. I will definitely be reaching out to her again to sit for Willow!”

“Grace was wonderful with my very high energy dog! Despite it being super cold outside, she was able to exercise him well. I came home to a happy, tired pup that slept all night. She was incredibly kind and flexible, and I’d absolutely book her again!”

Lillian did a wonderful job walking our dog! She was reliable, communicated well throughout the visit, and sent us pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We would definitely book with Lillian again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!

Vivien was wonderful! She came over to meet with us before we went out of town and asked questions and took notes. Communication was great! She updated us every day and would send pictures for us to see. This is the first time we have used a pet sitter, and we are so glad we found Vivien to stay overnight with our senior dog; he was very well taken care of. Thank you so much!
