“Thank you, Lee. Lee was incredible. She took good care of my spoiled rotten boy as if he was her own. She did more than asked of her during her stay at my home. You can tell she's a dog lover from the moment she entered my home to meet Beau and me I felt at ease leaving my boy with her. She sent photos during her stay which made me feel that he was in good hands. I will definitely call Lee the next time I need a sitter. Again, thank you Lee!!”
About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.
“Over the years I have always been dependent on family to watch our dogs. I really wanted to find someone I felt comfortable with to fill in from time to time. Everyone in my family has dogs so we have always traded off. I found Kelly on Rover, she had good reviews, wasn’t too far away and offered to come do a meet and greet with Oakley, which made me comfortable right away. Kelly communicated with us, sent pictures and updates. I am so happy I made this decision, it was the right one. We came home to a happy pup. Thank you Kelly, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Taryn wasn't able to meet Zima until she got here to babysit. She walked in the door and immediately started talking and went right over to Zima and started petting her and talking to her. I was instantly at ease. She sent me pictures throughout the night and told me what she was doing and how well she ate her dinner. She had to give her some medication and she let me know that she took it well.I would recommend Taryn to anyone.”
“Elle took great care of our dog while we were away, sending us pictures and updates daily. She was respectful of our space, and left our apartment spotless. It was great to know our dog was well taken care of and we would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone!”
“Heather was wonderful with our senior dog, Pippin. Though he doesn't have a complex routine to follow, he's a quirky guy that likes to be VERY close to his person, is forgetful, and sometimes barky due to his age. Heather "got" Pippin right away. We felt she genuinely understood his habits and his singular approach to life. Heather sent just the right amount of updates and photos. Pippin was in good hands with Heather. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend her!”
“Sadie was a wonderful house/pet sitter. She communicated with me well, took care of my elderly cats with needs and watered my plants. I have every confidence that I will book her to stay with my cats again in the future. Thank you, Sadie!”

Making the dog feel comfortable and cared for is my biggest priority.

About: I have a soft spot for animals of any kinds, and dogs are no exception. My love of animals later lead me to get trainer certified at Petco, and later trained my first service dog for a veteran. From puppy's to older ones, dog for me are no problem. Iv trained everything for few week old pups to old ones. You can generally teach dogs new tricks at any age. I also have perfected a (almost) treatless method that iv used on big to small. If one is patient, it is effective. These are beings in our care and they deserve to be treated well in a way they understand, which is typically pets and praise and a treat every now and then their way This is my job, my hobbies as a droneir fits around it. The needs of your furry family is what takes priority as you lead on with the adventure of life. I'll make sure they stay well taken care of From full time to as needed, sitting required consistant messages and sometimes that extra training. Our furry family members are very important. They need that special care that a calm demeanor like I have can give

Conney P.
“Our Bagel Rose is a great dog but sometimes with new people she can be a lot, at 50lbs she can be a jumping missle. When Connie came in she had Rose calmed down and acting better than we knew possible in a mere moments. It’s behavior that has continued since and we are forever grateful for the help Connie gave us with Rose. This change in behavior has allowed Rose more time around my grandchildren as she’s not just tackling them every time we turnaround. Couldn’t have done it without Connie.”

“Nikki has taken care of my dogs for a couple years now when we go on vacation. She is very attentive to their needs and although they missed us it is obvious they have been well loved while we were gone.
