About: I started fostering dogs back during COVID to help them find a their furever family, and now I want to help dog families, like my own, continue the getting care they need to where they feel safe when their owners are away. :) I am constantly taking care of my dog son Kobe, who I also fostered through the system way back when. He, as well as fostering other dogs, has given the experience I need to take care of your family too. I am familiar with dogs with anxiety, dogs with allergies, dogs that need medication and/or a little extra attention. Everyone needs love no matter what type of care, and I believe I can be like your friendly neighbor giving your furever family the care they need along with the safety and comfortability like a neighbor or friend. :) I have a fenced yard for your pet to run around, and also extra room space in case they need time to themselves. I can also take your dog on walks at a nearby park/rec center to get their extra energy out when needed.
“Paige and Cindy were wonderful and extremely caring for my Yoshi. We are in a new city so this was their first watching him and they went out of their way to make him feel like a part of their family. 💜”
“Can’t say enough good things about Rachel! I was so anxious about leaving my pug Geo with a sitter. Rachel and her family and fur baby took such good care of Geo. I highly highly recommend Rachel she cares for your pet as if it’s her own and Geo had a blast!”

Southwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ellen did a great job of keeping us updated on how Oscar was doing while we were gone! She also was honest when our dog wasn’t getting along well with another dog for a day and handled it quite nicely. We definitely trust her with our sweet boy and loved how happy he was to see her when we dropped him off!
Primera vez usando la aplicación y no me arrepiento. Pero menos me arrepiento por la persona que escogimos para cuidar a nuestra Skye. Excelente comunicación y trato. Pensábamos que tendríamos problemas y nos equivocamos. Kathy es excelente en lo que hace. 100% recomendada.
