“TOP TIER CARE! Jennifer took excellent care of my babies in her home. She clearly takes pride in her job and takes her responsibility seriously. She provided frequent updates, including photos and videos, and responded in the app with lightning speed. My dogs were returned to me happy, tired, and just as clean as when I left them.”
“Norma and her sweet family were wonderful and exceeded any expectations we had. They treated our dog like an absolute princess. We received many pictures and in every photo we could see how happy our dog was. They welcomed her with much love and warmth. I would highly recommend Norma!”
“I had to find a pet sitter on short notice. Teddy, Cooper and I were very impressed with Christina's large outdoor space, pool, lanai and comfy spacious home completely set up to make dogs feel welcome and comfortable. Christina is very experienced with dogs including rescues. Both my dogs had a great time with Christina and her dogs. They had enough space, activities, play time and made new friends. Its very much a retreat for dogs. They are looking forward to their next stay.”

“Diamond had a blast staying with Alli and her pups! Alli updated us several times during the stay and was very accommodating when we had to push back our pick up time. Diamond had the ability to run around outside with her dogs and it definitely tired her out! She fell asleep as soon as we got home! We would definitely book with Alli in the future!”
“The reason why I give Linda a 5 star rating is because of these five main things: 1. The initial introduction and meeting with me and my dog at her home was extremely pleasant. Also, drop off and pick up was smooth. 2. Her home and area she lives in is very clean, quiet, and dog friendly. 3. Linda clearly has tons of pet care experience and loves pets. For example, she slept with our dog all night. 4. Our dog is older and needs special food and medicine, and Linda easily handled that. 5. Linda would send pictures often so we could see what our dog is doing. Overall, we are very happy with our experience with Linda and will continue to book with her.”
“Lee was amazing. He sent pictures and videos every day and took great care of Mac. He was very accommodating and went above and beyond when I was running late. Would definitely recommend Lee and will use him again.”

“Mia is amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before I left town and that was so nice to have the cats see who she was before she came over while their “safe people” weren’t home. Mia sent the most precious pictures, she is very communicative, and I knew my kitties were in safe hands. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer O was the best! It was great to be able to visit my daughter knowing my Willow was being well cared for! She even came over before I left so she would be a familiar face!

I can’t rave about her enough! Your pet will be in good hands with Jennifer O!”

She even supervised a few interactions which really helped us. She goes above and beyond with her care. Will definitely be booking her in the future!”

Even when Hurricane Milton hit and it was near impossible to get to my house, she made sure to keep me updated and walk down to my house to get to my fur baby. On top of all of that, She took great care of the house and brought my mail in each day. My cat, who is normally extremely shy with new people, took to her so quickly. Will definitely book with Kelli again in the future.”

“We are so so glad we found Alli! Our 1 year old Australian shepherd Harry has a lot of energy and can often be a handful. Alli is wonderful with him! She sends updates several times a day and is always keeping us in the loop. Her sweet dog Mack is the perfect playmate for Harry and insures that he comes home tired :) we know whenever Harry is with Alli he is in amazing hands.”
“Enzo had a great day with Jennifer today. We will definitely continue with daycare when we need it! Thanks for taking good care of our sweet boy.”
“I highly recommend Debora. She watched my puppy for a couple hours and upon my return my puppy was learning to “leave it” and to calm down when other dogs are near (she gets super excited). Debora was very nice, super knowledgeable and my puppy loved her the second they met. 10/10”
“We've had a great experience with JD and Magda! They've treated Gus like he was their own and made him (and us) safe. They are quick to respond with any communication and try their best to be accommodating. Also their two dogs are super friendly and Gus loves having them to play with.”
“Norma was excellent! Our pup is only 5 months and it was the first time he had gone away for Doggy Day Care and he had soooo much fun!! Norma took such good care of him and we are excited to bring him back!”
“Kenneth is extremely considerate and caring. I know my normally cautious Franklin likes him because he’s excited to be at Kenneth’s house. His two kids are equally respectful, fun and loving to my dog.”
“Athena and Richi took very good care of Rosie. It was her first time and she was worn out when we got home! They also were very good about sending me pictures and videos!!”
“Paige and Stephen were welcoming and I felt immediately comfortable leaving my dog with them. I wholeheartedly recommend them and I will be rebooking.”
“As someone knew to the city and state with a new puppy to boot along with another dog, I was nervous about last minute accommodations. I have found a second home for my Gertie! Coming from an apartment environment, she has a whole yard to run and play in and the hosts are exceptionally great and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them to anyone. If there are more stars, I would give them to them. I am looking no more for anyone else. Trust me you will be happy and so will your babies.”
“Marissa was amazing! We needed dog sitting for a day, she responded right away with availability. The whole time she had our dog, we were getting updates and photos. When we picked our dog up, he wasn’t ready to leave! We will certainly be using her again”
“Jennifer was communicative with caring for our baby Luna. I can tell she and Olive had a great day playing together! We definitely recommend! Your pup will be in great hands with Jennifer.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Alcove
“Kristen is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of my Labrador, Angel, and I always know she’s in loving, capable hands. She’s reliable, caring, and goes above and beyond every time. Angel gets so excited when Kristen arrives, which says it all! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
“We contacted David to help with our dog, Bella Mae, for a couple days last week as I had minor surgery and could not walk her. David was nice enough to stop by prior to scheduled time and meet us and Bella. He is a fine young man who clearly loves animals and was great with Bella Mae.”
“Amanda has been wonderful for our English Mastiff, Memphis. She takes great care of him, sends update photos, and is very flexible with her schedule. Highly recommend her! :)”
“Peyton has been absolutely amazing! She stepped in for a few last-minute bookings when I was dealing with car issues, and I can’t thank her enough. She’s incredibly reliable, follows directions perfectly, and most importantly—she’s great with my pets. Her communication is clear, timely, and reassuring. It’s such a relief knowing I can count on someone who truly cares. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and dependable dog walker! Scout and Chuck 🐕🦺🐕🐾🐾💙☺️🌞”
“Would we choose Jess again with our pups? Never looked for anyone again after we found her, she’s it for us! The both of us are medical professionals who work long days, and our patient care is priority during those hours, so we needed someone we could trust to do a mid day visit to break up the day. We were very apprehensive and new to Rover, but after all the looking, we kept going back to Jessica’s profile, and for good reason! From day one she has put our minds at ease and we knew she was a perfect fit. She comes with integrity and honesty, and she always makes our dogs and us her priority. Her gentle disposition and kind demeanor made it easy for the dogs to love her. She goes above and beyond every time and always makes right if anything comes about. She makes herself available even in last minute change of plans, with her we know the pups are well taken care of and enjoying time with their friend Jessica! We will always choose Jessica, she’s worth placing your trust in!”
“Kelli has been an absolute Godsend to me and my pups life! Her communication is 10/10! As an owner of an older pup, my dog has been through some changes with her body. Kelli has been more than a helping hand when it comes to helping her stand up, making sure she goes potty safely, giving medication or cleaning a wound! She is extremely friendly, easy to reach out to and I know my pup absolutely loves spending time with her. I am so lucky to have found someone who truly cares about my pups wellbeing and is flexible!! Thank you for everything you have done for us, we appreciate you!”

“Angelina was great with our two Aussies! Angelina arrived on time and the girls were very happy to see her. She took time with our girls, playing, brushing, walking and just giving extra loving while we were away. If your looking for someone who is structured and still very loving, you found her!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and even exotics ever since I was a child. My major in college was Biology and my first job out of college was a Zoo Keeper. I then became a dolphin trainer working and training several types of dolphins, river otters and pelicans. The past two years I have been a Vet Technician working at a large animal hospital. Animals are my passion in life so any chance I get to be around them, I will! I am currently a full time student again and also working four days a week. Any free time I get I enjoy getting outside or relaxing. I am mainly free on week nights and some days depending on class schedule. I will not be watching pets in my own home due to having a cat myself that gets stressed around other animals in his own space. I will watch other's pets at their home and follow their instructions as given.
