Thank you so so much Gwynee!!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I am a Vet Tech full-time with hands-on experience working around dogs in both grooming and veterinary settings. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including those who require extra patience or medical attention. I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while keeping pet parents updated so they always feel at ease and informed. I currently work a full time job as a vet tech in a local general practice, if I’m pet sitting I’m allow to take them with me, where they are going to be loved for everyone working there. I’m off Tuesday, Thursdays and saturdays afternoon and Sunday all day, mon-wed-Friday work 9-5 My location is 2min from a dog park where I walk my own pets everyday. I’ll always use leash walking them. Also I’ll be sending pictures to owners every day to keep owners informed
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”

“Carson and Shelby had ANOTHER great stay with Anner!!!! He makes sure he updates with videos and how they are doing...which is always great (unless there is a thunderstorm-and he handles them perfectly). They love being in the backyard and playing with his dog, Santi!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience! Ariel and her lovely family welcomed my dog Manolo as one of their own. For the first time ever, I could actually tell Manolo was sad the next day—it was like he missed Ariel and her family. They even gave him a teddy bear, and he hasn’t stopped cuddling with it since! They are truly heaven-sent. I received daily updates and adorable pictures that gave me peace of mind and made me feel confident that Manolo was safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m so grateful we found them—we will definitely be back!”

“The best with my girl Persephone. She was able to take her in very last minute and was very very flexible. I really appreciate all of her help and the way she was with Persephone during this tough transitional period. Loved all the pictures and videos she sent and I noticed that Persephone became less stressed overtime which I love. Highly recommend Madalys to everyone!”

“I had my dog, Dodger stay at Lynn's house for one night recently, and I couldn't have been happier. I recently adopted a very friendly and sweet, but very nervous, scared mutt and was worried about leaving him with someone he didn't know. I had a meet and greet with Lynn prior to my night away, and her sweet dog, Doris, and immediately I knew Dodger would be fine. Doris is a great doggie host and Dodger immediately started playing with her. The night of his stay, I got a text from Lynn updating me that Dodger ate dinner and relieved himself - neither of which he does if he's even slightly nervous so I knew he was doing just fine. It was so nice not to worry about him. When I picked him up after his overnight, he was frolicking with Doris in Lynn's fenced in backyard and having a great time. I highly recommend Lynn. She's super friendly, flexible and laid back. Her pup, Doris is full of energy and nothing but fun for doggie guests. Lynn's son lives with her and is excellent with dogs as well. I will definitely book again!”
“Claire was wonderful hosting my little Yorkie for two full days while I was away. He was in great hands!! She was caring, loving and super patient with him. I received very detailed updates about his stay and he was super relaxed when getting back home. Thank you so much Claire! 🐾”


“The absolute best!!! Anastasiia went above and beyond with our dog Oliver. She took him on walks, hiking and to the dog park and sent us the most beautiful pictures throughout the day! She is so sweet and I can tell our dog loved his stay! Don’t look any further…Book Anastasiia!! She is the best dog sitter we have ever dealt with!”

Great overall experience! Thank you Jack for taking such wonderful care of our energetic baby Rex. Thank you also for the daily updates and videos, it was most comforting being so far away and being away from him for the first time. I would reach out again to Jack/Rover immediately if we are ever in need again.
