“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“Was extremely happy with Izzie’s care. Izzie’s a senior dog and I figure she was more of an undertaking than what was expressed. To whatever extent that was the case I am more than grateful.”
“I can't say enough about Heather. Due to a scheduling conflict, she came and picked up our dog from our house. Our dog is very anxious and Heather spent a large amount of time with her, in our home. Heather did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable. Heather couldn't get her out the first time over. She came to our house 4 times before she could get our dog out. Heather sent updates about how our dog was doing. Heather is patient and genuinely kind. We will use Heather again!”
“Great family who you can tell from the start love their dogs and love any dog that comes into their house. Both of their dogs are well behaved and allow your dog time to get used to being in new environment. They have a large fenced back yard that I know my toy Aussie just loved playing ball in. Already booked our next stay!”
About: Senior care experience! I've adopted multiple dogs at 10+ yrs old from the local pounds and made sure they had the best senior care experience possible. I currently have 2 dogs, both spayed and absolutely love other dogs. A Corgi (Ruby) who is 9 and a Maltipoo (Joplin) who will be 2 this year. The poo was adopted from a kill shelter in TX (and one before her from the same area as well). We've lost 4 dogs in 2 yrs due to old age, 3 within 6 months. Hard pill to swallow but I love them all and would LOVE to love yours too! I am a stay-at-home dog mom. I have all the time in the world to take care of your babies! Believe me when I say they will come home all tuckered out :) I have a fenced in back yard and 2 VERY friendly dogs to keep your pups very much entertained! In your home (if a dog sitter in home is required) you can expect all of their daily schedules to be fulfilled.
“Corinna was awesome! Everything went perfectly from the initial conversation to plan Max’s drop-off all the way until pickup. Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable. She also had excellent communication skills, providing many photos & updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend Corinna. A++”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the second time she has watched my French Bulldog, and I couldn't be happier. This time she cared for him for almost 10 days, and she was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated, made sure he was well cared for, and treated him like he was part of her own family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️”
“Not going to lie, we were nervous leaving our pup with a stranger, but we felt at ease right away. Mark has such a calm demeanor and knows what he is doing. There is another pup he cares for and they play well together, which is great for socializing. If I check in, he responds very quickly and sends us a picture or two. He knows about nervous parents.☺️”
About: I am also a dog parent and have been for over 12 years. My fur babies consume most my days and why not spread the happiness! I have walked and cared for others here in town and have been given great compliments and encouragement to help others thru this app since it's convenient and trusted! My routine mostly revolves around my fur babies. Morning we spend 2.5 -3 hours exercising exploring and making friends. Afternoon and night time another 30-45 min each one for potty and walk. It'll be very easy to include your pups they'll love the activities and best of all find some of what they're looking for 💚 In home ... each have bed/ room/ crate to be in. In your home i will care for your pet as you requested. Feeding the amount as per pet parent, meds or crate as per owner request
“Marissa was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly caring. She checked in regularly and sent the sweetest photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious she truly loved and cared for Kona, and that means everything to me. Even better, it was clear that Kona loved her right back. There’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m honestly just sad she doesn’t live closer because we would book her every single time without hesitation. I can’t recommend Marissa enough!”
“Ashley was great, upfront communication and alignment with the environment they had, which helped ensure a good fit. Her two dogs and the space made Thad feel right at home and welcome! Definitely going to keep at the top of this list for the future.”

“This was my first experience with Rover and it went well. McKenzie put me at ease when we did our meet and greet with my two senior cats. The daily 'report cards' were helpful and reassuring while I was away. I really appreciated having someone local look in on my boys :)”
“Shannon was awesome! She communicated extremely well and made sure she knew exactly what our dog needed. She sent pictures and updates every visit. She went above & beyond by walking him & picking up his poo in the yard. Will absolutely hire again.”
About: I had farm pets growing up, even raised show rabbits for 4H in high school. Have 2 cats that I adore and one little beagle/basset who’s energy could use another dog I normally work full-time Monday through Thursday, so Friday Saturday and Sunday are my preferred days to watch them and I can do it all day those days I have two cats and one dog that have full reign of my house and have had other dogs over without any issues or problems. Plus my dog could use the attention of another dog.
About: I have experience house/dog sitting. In the past year, I've watched and taken care of three large dogs, a Boxer, and two Labradors, many times. For about two weeks or more depending on the owner's schedule. The boxer has some health issues so I also have some experience with giving medication. I've taken care of two Great Danes who I would classify as loving adorable couch potatoes. I also own two small dogs. My first dog was a Maltese she lived till she was ten but the last year of her life she also had some health issues. I currently have a dog who is also a Maltese Bichon Frise mix who just turned eleven. He is energetic so I'm a very active person and can keep up with your pups too. I understand the importance of giving your pup all the love and attention they need to have a happy life. I will do my very best to provide that for your animals too! I work full time at a car dealership up in the office. I am in the office by 7:00 am and I am typically off by 3:00 pm. I can do late in the evening walks or around when I get off. For drop ins\check ins I could come early in the morning for one and later in the evening for the other on a weekday. As long as it isn't end of month or mid month Fridays I can be off by 1pm. Weekend I am off so I'm more fixable with what I can fit in. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks. During visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any routine care requested by the owner. During walks, I ensure pets get safe exercise and attention while following their normal routine. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with pet owners.
About: I’ve taken care of pets from craziness to laziness, big or small, I love em all! I’m excellent at rounding them up for baths, playing with them, going on walks or to dog parks to make friends, and most importantly, keeping them safe! If your pal needs a smile, I’m your gal! I’m currently working part time so I will be available 6am-3pm, Monday - Friday to welcome you and your pal into a fun, safe, and caring environment! If you need to leave me a list of do’s and dont’s pertaining to you and your pals needs, I am adamant on adapting to understand their boundaries, reading their emotions, and finding what they will/wont enjoy. Everything I can do, I will do to keep your pet safe, happy, and healthy so you never have to feel worried!
About: My husband and I have two boys- 14 and 10. We have two dogs and two cats. Loki is a 7 year old Black Lab male. He has an old man’s personality who loves his people. Thor is a 4 year old male Golden Retriever. He is a goofy, energetic, fun loving boy. We also have two male cats- Zeke and Mamba. They are brothers from the same liter that we rescued when they were babies. They are now 3. They are both very loving and curious boys. My husband and I have both grown up with animals and have had them our whole lives. Our kids have been around them since birth. They love helping us take care of our animals as well as our friends and families animals. My husband or myself is always home during the week and weekends. We let our dogs go in and out as much as they want. We love to hang out outside and snuggle inside. We can do any feeding schedule that is needed. I have a fenced in yard. I have two dogs that will keep your pups busy. We do have two large sized kennels incase anyone would need them for any reason.
About: I’ve cared for my own two cats, Jolene and Soup for over five years and have been around friends’ and family’s cats for more than eight. Over the years, I’ve learned how to meet each cat’s unique personality and needs with patience and understanding. I have experience with nail trimming, brushing, enrichment and playtime, and administering medication when needed. I also take care of litter box maintenance and keeping cat areas clean and comfortable. One of my own cats is on the shy side, so I’m very comfortable working with skittish or nervous cats and giving them the gentle patience they need to feel safe. I’m confident in reading feline body language and building trust over time. I’m open to caring for cats of all ages and temperaments (though I have a bit less hands-on experience with very young kittens under 4 months). My goal is to make every cat feel secure, cared for, and loved!
“Lauren was great! She was very accommodating and was reliable. Our cat is very needy at times and needs extra things, and we appreciate that she was able to help out. Will definitely ask her in the future for our Ozzy!”
“Amanda was very reliable and great with communication. It’s always scary not knowing someone well and having them stay at your house with your pets and she over exceeded our expectations. We appreciate it! Will definitely keep her on our list for the future!!”
“Nora is great! I always know my Finley will get such good attention. He loves belly rubs and treats of carrots and she always makes sure he gets these! i want to wish her a very Merry Christmas.”
“Lindsey is great! Dropped in to let my two dogs out and gave me peace of mind to know they were in good hands. Very prompt response and updated me when she was here with photos!”
About: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.
“Angela was great! She was kind and professional during the meet and greet, reliable and on time for her drop ins, and thorough with the care for our pooch. We will definitely book with her again. ?”
About: Hi! My name is Jess and I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring for pets! I haven’t had a time where I haven’t had dogs in the home. As a child I helped my best friend’s mom at her grooming shop! As an adult I have an American Bully who is a rescue from a local humane society. Many friend’s have used me to watch, walk, and take care of their pets ranging from dogs and cats. I’ve given diabetic shots to one of the pets I’ve taken care of as well! I’m also a mom to three children as well, and they have my heart just as FUR babies do! I’m currently a college student at Saint Ambrose University! I am majoring in Spanish Education. I start classes again January 22nd! I am very flexible outside of my class time and free to help with your four-legged friends. Monday’s availability is possible message me for details! I live in an apartment right now but I rescued an American Bully (3 1/2 yr) female from a local humane society. Her name is Xuna (zu-na) and she is my heart! She is working on dog reactivity, so I wouldn’t be able to bring your fur baby to my place, but can always travel to yours!
About: Walking, bathing, playing, feeding, and caring/hanging out with dogs has been a constant part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised with 3 dogs(2 of which were puppies) and have assisted family, friends, and neighbors in these tasks for at least 7 years. I am currently in school which occupies my mornings(I do have breaks between classes) but am available most afternoons. My evenings and weekends are also available. I think it is very important to be aware of all the surroundings to make sure the environment is safe for the pet and to take proper steps like double-checking gates/doors.

About: I have 3 pets of my own and no children. This gives me flexibility and freedom to accommodate customer needs. I have 2 senior pets and 1 that’s a bit of a wild child. I have raised the 2 older ones their whole life. I workout everyday and being able to incorporate others in that is great. I enjoy the outdoors and staying healthy. I’m big on structure and routine. I love and care for my pets beyond anything. The pets in my house are spoiled and have all natural treats and dentals daily. Pets are allowed to be on the couch and can have free range in the 7’ privacy fence.

“Sam and Sarah are seriously the GREATEST people on the planet! I think my dog Zeus would prefer to be at their house than at his own home with me! :) Not only do Sam and Sarah take great care of Zeus while I'm at work, but they go above and beyond to make sure he gets exercise, plays with other dogs, and gets time to relax inside without being in a kennel or crate! Sam and Sarah are the BEST!”
“Genna and her family are wonderful! We were traveling from out of state, and had the opportunity to meet up with some old friends for dinner. We contacted Genna and she opened her home to our senior golden doodle. I was impressed that before saying yes, Genna asked some questions to make sure her home was a good fit. She sent pictures that reassured us that he was doing fine. She has a nice house and a larged fenced yard to insure the safety of your pet. I would absolutely recommend Genna for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I’ve never been without a dog, or 2, or 3 And have had the pleasure of owning two very special cats as well. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family since I was a teenager, and into adulthood when life permitted. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages and treat them all with care and attention as if they were my own. I offer doggy daycare, dog boarding, and cat or dog drop ins. I’ve cut back my work hours so I have plenty of time to care for my own pets as well as yours. Im available various days/ hours as long as I have a few days notice. I have a large fenced in yard and two chill dogs (ages 2and 14). I believe giving pets extra care and attention brings out the best in them, plenty of bathroom breaks, zoomies, and fetch goes a long way.
“Chris, Courtney and their children were a wonderful fit for my dog, Oscar. Courtney was thorough and asked appropriate questions prior to booking and were very accommodating to our needs on such a short notice. Courtney was reassuring and sent multiple pictures throughout his stay. Oscar slept like a baby when returning home! I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Very patient and kind with a dog you don’t know and will probably not see again since we’re traveling. Thank you for your kindness and care of Judy, as well as tips to help her adjust.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I also just graduated with my associates degree in elementary education, and am hoping to spend time with furry friends this summer before returning to my school district! I consider myself very adaptable, and will work with you and your pet to make sure you’re satisfied with my care! Whether your pet needs hours of snuggles or play, I’m happy to be able to spend some time with them! I currently have a very flexible schedule to be able to cater to your pets needs! I enjoy waking up early and getting outside anytime the sun is out! I consider myself adaptable and am able to cater to most of your pets wants or needs. I don’t mind cuddling for hours, or playing and being energetic for hours, whichever your furry friend would prefer!
About: Hello! My name is Katelyn Lamb (in photo is my husband Chris, and our dogs Odin and Henderson), I have taken care of animals since the age of 5. I was in 4H and have multiple years of experience with various animals but currently work the most with dogs who I have 10 years experience pet sitting with. I've also worked for multiple animal shelters and volunteer currently at shelters in my free time! Our home has a great back yard to play in and we allow dogs to any part of our house, which also means they are constantly being looked after. Any food, treat, sleep, play time, or medication routine will be followed per owner instructions. I typically only accept one pup at a time to ensure that your fur baby is getting all the spoils they deserve! But if you have a sibling group please let me know and I can possibly accommodate that. Thank you! I work from home and do not leave the house during the normal 9-5 schedule I have for work. I am also a student studying for my masters completely online. So, I do not leave the house often and have time to always ensure the safety and care of your pup. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs one small and one large for your dog to play with. Both of my dogs are up to date on shots and are also non-aggressive and just love to play and run around the yard.
“We had a good first experience with Emilie as Poppy’s sitter. Poppy seemed to do well during her stay, and we appreciated receiving photo updates while we were away. Communication was smooth throughout, and we didn’t have any complaints. We would be more than comfortable booking with Emilie again in the future.”
About: I have experience with all kinds of animals including: puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, senior cats and dogs. As well as hamsters, fish, hermit crabs, and farm animals. I recently moved to Iowa and pet sitting is my full time job. I will be going on maternity leave starting in August. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs and cats at there homes. I always check to make sure they have fresh water and food as well as give them attention and let them out side to use the bathroom or clean litter boxes as necessary.
About: I provide attentive and loving care to pets of all sizes, from small lap dogs to active breeds, as well as bunnies, cats and birds. As I work from home, your pet will receive consistent attention throughout the day, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I take time to understand their needs so they feel secure and relaxed. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own. With my work from home environment I am able to deal with pets all times during the week. I do travel some weeks, in which I will not take on any pets. I am flexible on schedules. In the spring I will note I coach, and may be gone for 2-3 hours maximum on some nights if there is an overnight pet. This scheduling information will of be provided ahead of time to ensure you know exactly how your pet will be cared for. As I work from home your pet will be watched all day. Whether they choose to join me or relax elsewhere in the house is up to their preference. I do not have a kennel and am okay with pets being able to roam. I also want to break up my day so they will get walks every 2-4 hours if they would like. I also have a fenced yard that I can see from my office if they are wanting to spend more time outside. Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, especially dogs. I’ve had dogs growing up all of my life and thought they bring so much joy to the world. Though they can be a lot of work, the fulfillment they bring is priceless. I have taken care of my own dogs and family friends for about 5 years including taking them on walks, potty training, bathing, and sometimes grooming. I’ve worked with puppies and middle aged dogs from a wide variety of breeds. I am currently in my gap year between undergrad and law school. My schedule is flexible as I can build walls around my study routine. Pet care can also fit into my routine of daily walks. When caring for my own or other pets, I like to give them as much attention and care as possible to avoid boredom and loneliness. I usually take my own dogs out to the bathroom or walks every 2 hours. I provide appropriate care depending on the need for the animal.

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and had one of my own growing up. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, bathing, and general care, and I love spending time getting to know each dog’s unique personality. While i’ve worked most with smaller dogs, I’m comfortable and open to caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I bring a gentle, caring approach to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Currently I am working part time, my schedule varies but usually I am working 2nd shift in the beginning of the week and working 1st shift during the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss dates and times and work around my typical schedule to meet your needs of pet care to the best of my abilities! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries so they always feel secure in my care. Whether i’m in your home or out on a walk, I make sure your pet is safe, supervised, and happy at all times. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean, tidy, and just the way you left them. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are loved and cared for like family.
About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.
About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.
About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats dosent worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs, and others for years! I do have a dog and a parrot I love dearly and look after daily! Any questions feel free to ask!! My schedule is open and I work from home so I will be available consistently throughout the week! I am more than happy to accommodate any special needs! I have a friendly dog, and a yard, along with close access to the Marquette dog park! If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

I always have enrichment toys on hand to entertain your dog.
About: Walking, bathing, playing, feeding, and caring/hanging out with dogs has been a constant part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised with 3 dogs(2 of which were puppies) and have assisted family, friends, and neighbors in these tasks for at least 7 years. I am currently in school which occupies my mornings(I do have breaks between classes) but am available most afternoons. My evenings and weekends are also available. I think it is very important to be aware of all the surroundings to make sure the environment is safe for the pet and to take proper steps like double-checking gates/doors.
About: For years my daughter and I volunteered at a no-kill shelter fostering and adopting out dogs and cats. This gave me experience with several breeds. I work Tuesday through Friday from 8-5. My office is very close to the house and I am able to come home everyday for lunch. I have lots of time to spoil your pets! I live in a condo with a very large yard. Your pets will have the run of the house. I have one cat that rules the roost!
About: Sierra has over 20 years of pet care experience between having a range of personal animals and then going into an animal career. Sierra worked as a kennel and vet assistant for a shelter for 3 years before grooming for 9 years. She still is grooming from home. Sierra is experienced in animal CPR and first aid. Very experienced with administering medications and working with nursing animals up to senior special needs animals. Sierra has had chinchillas, rabbits, birds, bearded dragons, snakes but of course dogs and cats as well. Lucas is an avid animal lover. His animal experience comes from his own personal animals as well as he has been pet sitting for a few years. He is very active and works their energy out through long walks, hiking, and playing with toys. Lucas has had bearded dragons, snakes, dogs and cats as personal animals and loved every second of it! We believe having someone do it from Rover provides a more personalized quality of care. They recieve a lot more attention and affection through private sitters than they do in large facilities. We work together so that we can accommodate everyone's wishes. We have super high expectations of care for our animals and we like to give those same standards to those we do pet care for. We are an all around animal fanatic. We love them all furry, fuzzy, hairy, feathery, and scaley. We believe when Pet parents are on vacation their pets should be too. We fully believe in spoiling and going above and beyond. We love taking dogs to the dog park and walking in all different parts of town. We have a cat room set up in our house with tons of toys and furniture to fully satisfy their needs. We believe in animals having a lot of love and affection, especially when they are already experiencing distance from their favorite people. Animals are not only something we are very passionate about but what we have revolved our lives around. Lucas is home all day and would be available to do 24 hour care. Sierra grooms Monday through Friday 8am until 12pm-1pm. If your pet care ends on the weekend and you want your pet to be groomed, arrangements can be made. I keep all dogs leashed when outside to guarantee their safety. I recently got a fenced in dog run that I monitor dogs in so they can be off leash. I never leave pets unattended. I can kennel dogs to keep separate if needed. I am also trained in animal first aid.

“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“Was extremely happy with Izzie’s care. Izzie’s a senior dog and I figure she was more of an undertaking than what was expressed. To whatever extent that was the case I am more than grateful.”
“I can't say enough about Heather. Due to a scheduling conflict, she came and picked up our dog from our house. Our dog is very anxious and Heather spent a large amount of time with her, in our home. Heather did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable. Heather couldn't get her out the first time over. She came to our house 4 times before she could get our dog out. Heather sent updates about how our dog was doing. Heather is patient and genuinely kind. We will use Heather again!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the second time she has watched my French Bulldog, and I couldn't be happier. This time she cared for him for almost 10 days, and she was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated, made sure he was well cared for, and treated him like he was part of her own family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️”
“Not going to lie, we were nervous leaving our pup with a stranger, but we felt at ease right away. Mark has such a calm demeanor and knows what he is doing. There is another pup he cares for and they play well together, which is great for socializing. If I check in, he responds very quickly and sends us a picture or two. He knows about nervous parents.☺️”
About: I am also a dog parent and have been for over 12 years. My fur babies consume most my days and why not spread the happiness! I have walked and cared for others here in town and have been given great compliments and encouragement to help others thru this app since it's convenient and trusted! My routine mostly revolves around my fur babies. Morning we spend 2.5 -3 hours exercising exploring and making friends. Afternoon and night time another 30-45 min each one for potty and walk. It'll be very easy to include your pups they'll love the activities and best of all find some of what they're looking for 💚 In home ... each have bed/ room/ crate to be in. In your home i will care for your pet as you requested. Feeding the amount as per pet parent, meds or crate as per owner request
“Ashley was great, upfront communication and alignment with the environment they had, which helped ensure a good fit. Her two dogs and the space made Thad feel right at home and welcome! Definitely going to keep at the top of this list for the future.”
“One of the best hosts I have ever had the chance of working with Not only did she adjust the timings for us but also kept us upto date with daisy. Definitely will rebook her”
“Katie and her family treated Heidi like she was part of theirs! She sent me photos and a video while I was at the game. This reassured me to know that Heidi was being treated like family while I was out of town. I'll definitely use Katie's services again.”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
