“Trena sat for me at my home and watched my two small dogs. She’s very kind and caring and was very easy to work with. She let me know, throughout her stay, how my pups were doing and kept me updated with photos. She took great care of my two dogs and helped ease my mind. I will definitely see if she’s available again in the future.”
“Tammy was amazing! My dog can be really anxious around new people, but she warmed up to Tammy almost immediately and was very comfortable with her. Tammy kept me updated with photos throughout the day and Mango was sad to see her go at the end of the weekend. We’re already booked again!”
“Kaitlyn you were so sweet! Thanks for taking care of my pups and following instructions and leaving the house just as you came in!! ? you will definitely be used again!”
“Megan took great care of Maxine. She was very communicative and kept me updated on how Max was doing along with plenty of pictures (many of which featured a happy and smiling dog) Would recommend to others and have no hesitations about booking again.”
“This is the first time we have used Rover! Katie was great! Super understanding of our quirky Boston Terrier! Took great care of him and our kitty. Will be using her again for sure!”
“Sarah over was amazing, we were often out of reach on cell phone during the weekend and she provided us regular updates via text and pictures. The pooches were very content when we returned, and the house looked better than how we had left it. Can’t say enough good things about her. Will definitely hire her again.”
“Delaney was so wonderful with our dogs! We had never left them for a full week, so I was nervous about this. She was very communicative and gave plenty of updates. I could tell our dogs were comfortable and happy through the pictures and videos she would send. She stayed in our apartment and also left it spotless. I would highly recommend booking Delaney next time you need a dog sitter!!!”
“Olivia is fantastic!! She was so great with Archie and I already plan to have her stay with him again for my next trip. She is very communicative, left my apartment in perfect condition & took such good care of Archie!”
“Mariah was a pleasure to work with! She had amazing communication, took great care of my dogs, cat and house. She sent pics, was on time and just overall an amazing sitter! We will def be using her again 😍”
“Taylor was great with the puppies. He was nice enough to stop by the night before to meet them. Both puppies seemed to really like him. He also sent picture updates through the day and took them for a nice walk. I would definitely recommend him to a friend.”
About: I am attentive and exited to care for your pets! I love animals and have worked on my families ranch all my life. I enjoy going on long walks with any dog: excited puppies or slow-moving-seniors! I am a student, so my schedule is very irregular! When I am free, I want to fill my time with care work and fun! I walk a lot every day and have plenty of time to stop by and check in on your pet. My transportation is reliable so going out of town is not a problem.
“James was an excellent sitter! We were traveling from out of town for a wedding and he was very flexible and great to work with, with that added factor. He was communicative and easy to work with. Very kind and we felt great peace of mind leaving our little guy with him, thanks James!”
“Jaeden was so good with our pup! She sent pictures and gave updates when we went out of town last minute. He seemed to have a blast playing with her and we didn’t have to worry about him at all. Jaeden is awesome we can’t wait to book her again!”
“Josi was very accommodating with scheduling. She was also great with communication and taking care of a fur baby that wasn’t feeling well when we were out of town. Would highly recommend Josi for your pet needs. We will definitely be reaching out to her for future requests!”
“Julia was awesome house and dog sitting for me for a week and a half! She left the place wonderfully clean and kept the dogs happy and content while we were gone! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Ana did an amazing job watching our two dogs while we were out of the country! She checked in with us often and sent lots of update photos which we loved. She also spent some extra time with our more anxious dog during the 4th of July fireworks which went above and beyond, and we are so so appreciative!!”

She also was a 4H Participant in High school, making her more than qualified to take care of Great Danes all the way down to a Shih Tzu.”
