Jenevieve was a great sitter for our dogs. Leaving your little ones is very hard, but Jenevieve made everything so easy. I'll absolutely ask her again for our next trips and I highly recommend her great service. Thank you so much for watching Mila and Bruno.

I had to leave for the airport and came home a lil later than the time given and Alice was so gracious to try to help things work with me. This was the first time I had to leave my dog and my dog also seemed to love her, even gave her hugs and affection without commanding.

Milli had a great weekend with Erin & Chris! They spoiled her while she was there! She also was very relaxed even after she returned home! I would definitely recommend them and appreciate that they limit the number of dogs at one time! Thanks Erin & Chris!

Katie and her family were amazing with our pup! So many daily walks, play time, cuddles, and more! She was amazing at staying in touch and sending lots of pictures. We will absolutely rebook in the future and recommend to any friends and family in need of a dog sitter!

Cassandra is amazing! She sent videos and pics of Chief showing how much fun he was having. He played with other dogs, played fetch, played in water, and was tired. She’s the best!!

Jessica did a great job of taking care of my two dogs while I was on a 4 day trip. She was very friendly and responsive. She has a lovely home and backyard and I can tell that my babies had a good time in her care!

Sara was amazing with our dog and created a remarkable first impression of Rover for us. It was our first time using Rover, but Sara made everything feel so comfortable and smooth. She sent so many pictures which put my worried mind at ease and I just knew our golden was so comfortable with her. She was great at communicating and it truly was a seamless experience. I would trust her with my pup any time!! ❤️

Justin was incredible! He made sure that our pup Nash felt comfortable as well as reassured us that Nash was being taken good care of! He sent lots of updates and pictures to make it feel like we weren’t even away from Nash! Nash got to play outside, got lots of love, and even got some one on one time with Justin! We have one tired pup coming home with us! We highly recommend Justin and will definitely be taking Nash back in the future!

Michelle & Mark were amazing! They sent lots of pictures and it was obvious they were taking great care and giving lots of attention to our dog, Rosie. She came home tuckered out and had a blast playing with their dogs. They will absolutely be our first choice whenever we need someone to watch Rosie!

About: I have been the main caretaker of any animal I’ve ever had, some because I was the one who begged for it. And others because I just love animals so much that their care is only half the fun. I have experience with animals in all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. My puppy experience ranges from being the one who nursing a parvo puppy back to excellent health, she is now 3 years old and thriving. I also have a senior dog, who is such a joy but I think he forgets he has arthritis with all of his puppy antics. I also have a lot experience with teaching many tricks so don’t be surprised if your animal learns something new every time they see me! I work from home and have only two courses a day, so I have a lot of time on my hands to do a good pet care routine. My babies (my cats and hermit crabs) are on a routine or rather I am. We do feedings in the morning and have an hour of down time for everyone to “stretch” their legs before I go to class. I’m away for 3 hours before I’m back and during that time I can walk a dog if one is staying. And then I work from home so pretty much I’m at the animals beck and call whenever they need anything. I am in an apartment which lessens the risk of anything happening to your pet on my watch! Also with living in an apartment by campus we can always go for walks and meet some college students wanting some animal love!

Gemma had a great time, and I really appreciated Kayla helping us at the last minute. I'm very picky who cares for my girl, and would definitely use Kayla again! Gemma is currently curled up in my lap taking a nap, she is wore out!
