About: We have a home where I have cared for and given a loving family to dogs and cats for years. We believe in a safe and playful environment for all animals upbringing. I only work part time and also work from home so I am able to pretty much dedicate all my attention to the animals when they need it. I have a fenced yard in my home where I can keep the pups stimulated with play time occasionally. If I have other dogs I'll make sure they get along but if need be separated. I mostly wfh and am trying to accommodate busy people by making last minute bookings so I'm pretty much available whenever it is convenient for you. In my home, I make sure to provide plenty of love and attention to all pets in my care. This includes feeding them on a regular schedule, providing access to fresh water, and giving them opportunities for exercise and play. I also make sure to keep the living space clean and comfortable for them. When providing services like house visits or house sitting, I follow the same routine as in my own home and also follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the pet's owner. If the pet is staying with me for an extended period of time, like during a boarding service, I also make sure to take them on regular walks and provide them with mental stimulation through activities. As mentioned, I have a fenced yard and able to put them on a playpen for their safety and comfort if necessary.

She would feed them, take them for walks, and spend plenty of time bonding with them. Ashli has 3 cats of her own including turtles and loves them and gives them the affection they so deserve. She has helped me with my adorable cat and is a great daughter for doing so. I really am proud of her for her loyalty with animals and that includes many stray cats in my neighborhood. They all feel safe and loved when she is around.”
Tara pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah was great! Both my dog and cat are typically very nervous of new people, but they warmed up to Hannah very fast! She sent great updates and tons of pictures which I really appreciated. I will definitely book with her next time I go away!

I highly recommend Brandi and Luis! They took great care of our fur babies and sent lots of pictures to us. They are very kind and you can tell they love dogs.

Hayley was excellent with our fur baby 🐈⬛ . She was respectful of our house and left everything immaculate when she left. Would recommend and will use again. Thanks Hayley!

Amber was fabulous with my puppy! I was so nervous to leave my 13 week old puppy with anyone and she treated Freya like she was her own! She sent photos daily and showed so much love! I would use her again and again 😊

Absolutely the best experience with Mary!! My pup absolutely adored her and we felt so at peace knowing our baby was taken care of.

Jordan was great! He took excellent care of our big dog and two cats. 10009% recommend him for any pet needs!

Leaving Piper with Ryan was a fantastic experience! She is knowledgeable, caring, and eager. Ryan kept me in the loop with photos and little tidbits on what they were up to, which helped me out, the worried Momma, tremendously! The house was in the exact shape I left it in. Ryan took great care of everything, most importantly, Piper...Thanks Ryan!
