Eliza was wonderful to work with and a total natural with animals. We were so impressed by her flexibility; when we realized we’d booked the wrong return date, she didn't hesitate to stay an extra night to ensure our dogs were safe and cared for. Highly recommended!

Tee-Tee went above and beyond. Truly. She took EXTRA steps to ensure my dogs were comfortable with her. More than I would have ever expected. And she’s so good with them! I swear they wanted to see her instead of me when I came home. 😂 In addition, she took excellent care of my home. I know that, when I need to be away again, I will have complete peace of mind with Tee-Tee in charge.

About: I live on a farm back home & have over a decade of animal care of all kinds! I have many farm cats and two dogs at home, as well as two cats that live with me! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend! I would especially love to hang out with dogs as I don’t want to get my own until I can give them a fenced in yard:) My boyfriend Gabe also helps out with the pet care! I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet. I would like to follow your routine as much as possible, so honestly whatever you do with your pet I will copy! It’s important to keep their routines from changing frequently!

About: Over the past several years I have helped care for family and friend’s pets. I currently have 4 chaotic cats. I’ve always loved looking after our 4 legged friends! I am currently doing factory work so my schedule is a bit more limited. I am fully available three days of the week, and the other four I am available 3:30-10pm. I can walk dogs as needed, as well as provide the attention and play that they need. I am also able to ensure all the owners rules or guidelines are kept to standard.

Rover made this transaction incredibly smooth. Chrissy is exactly the kind of person you want watching your dogs. She texted us photos twice a day and let us know what was going on. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you. *****

Jada did a wonderful job watching my three pups for a week while I was out of town! The communication was on point and the photo updates of my babies were greatly appreciated. My favorite part was that she wasn’t afraid to ask questions instead of assuming things. Would definitely recommend Jada to anyone looking for a sitter that fills all the boxes!
