About: I started dog sittng in college for my professors and quickly grew to love it. I've gained experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, and I bring these skills to my own pets as well. I'm excited to provide the same care and attention to your dog while you're away. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I can accomodate your need. I also offer pickup and drop-off services for a small fee. I have a fenced yard providing a secured space for your dog to play and relax. I also have a senior male Australian Shedperd who loves to play with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during the stay.
“Jackie was awesome!! She and her family showed so much love and care to our dog, Frank. He had a great time with a few other furry friends! It was so nice getting the photos from Jackie, several times a day. Jackie is so accommodating and caring! I wish we had discovered her sooner!! She is the best!!”
“Keith was a great host for my Frenchie Nugget. He does interviews and asks all questions you could imagine about your dog. Keith took amazing care of him and Nugget felt like he was at home there. I was nervous he wouldn’t do well but he did great thanks to Keith. 10/10 would and will book again.”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Tintin while I was away. Knowing that they were in your hands gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy a truly worry-free vacation. I really appreciate the updates, the kindness, and the attention you gave—it’s clear you treat pets like family. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. I would happily recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. Thank you again for everything!”
“Hey pet parents, have I got a recommendation for you! Kristine and her daughter stepped up last minute to take care of my furry friend, and let me tell you, they were amazing. Not only did Kristine provide regular updates and photos, but her daughter even taught my dog some new tricks. Talk about going above and beyond! If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, I can confidently say that Kristine is the one to call. Don't stress about leaving your pup behind, trust me, they'll be in good hands with Kristine. So go ahead and give her a shout, you won't regret it!”
“Fanny was amazing! She took care of my Teddy for over a week and provided updates every day. Even comforted him throughout a thunderstorm! I would definitely recommend Fanny and Teddy can’t wait to see her again!”
“Omg! I’m so happy to found Robynn, She’s incredible my little baby Lili was a little princess in Robynn’s, She send me videos pictures messages. Lili was so happy she loved her 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰”
“Palvi is very nice and did a great job in taking care of Snoopy over 5 days while we were on vacation. Snoopy is shy, anxious by nature & picky eater. Snoopy got comfortable with her family in short time & had good fun time playing hide & seek with her kids & her pet Corgi. We are so thankful that we found Palvi & would definitely recommend her.”
“Danielle loves animals and you can tell! She was wonderful to work with and kept us up to date on our Daisy with great photos and stories. Go with Danielle—she’s a sweetheart!”
About: ** I took some time off of Rover and I am back with a limited schedule due to work hours** I am an avid dog lover and dog mom to 2 pups. Most of my life has revolved around dogs and I wouldn’t want it any other way! At a young age, I was trusted by all of the nieghbors to dog sit. After college, I was fortunate enough to foster a few rescues from a local humane society. Fostering dogs was a very rewarding experience as it gave me my 2 babies, Milo and Bear. Unfortunately, Bear and Milo have now passed and I miss them terribly everyday. I currently have a Doberman named Ambrose and an Australian Shepard named Max. They are a bonded pair and have so much energy! I have experience with very large dogs and puppies as young as 2 months old— but I am comfortable with all breeds! I am available for dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits. If you would like me to board your dog in my home, I welcome that as well! As long as they are dog friendly; my pups would love a new friend 😊 During the day on weekdays I work a full-time hybird job with flexibility. My in office days are Monday and Tuesday so usually unavailable those days. I am free for walks/drop ins during the week/weekend as well as house sitting. I am a very active person alone and with my own dogs. They get walks 1-2x per day and get lots of exercise in our backyard. I would love to hang out with your pup and play! I will come to you to make them feel more comfortable in their own environment.
About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
“Tammy was amazing! Our dog loved hanging with her sweet and playful dog, Bugsy, and lounging with her cats. We got daily updates which helped us feel relaxed while we were away. We will definitely use her in the future. Thank you for everything!!”
“Amazing dog sitter! She sent a bunch of pictures of my dog during his stay and took him on some really nice walks. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. Definitely recommend!”

“Cristal was very caring and took good care of my cats. This was my first time leaving them with a cat sitter so I was a bit anxious. The daily pictures she sent took away all my worries!”
“Sabrina is an amazing person and a great sitter. She is also very punctual. Our cat really enjoys her company. She takes care of him with all her heart :) we are so relieved that she is there for him while we are away.”
“Elyse is always our go-to cat sitter slash whisperer! Our cat is a bit needy, and Elyse is so fantastic with her! Her reports and photos are something that we look forward to receiving while away — thank you again!”
“Caitlin did an excellent job taking care of our cats Malcolm and Nala. She stuck to the cats’ schedule which was important to follow. Directions were followed exactly. She brushed our fur babies and the cats played with her a little. She brought in our papers, even though we had asked to cancel the delivery.”
“Ollie loved Kate immediately upon her first visit. Callie stayed under the bed but when I’d check in the cats via camera it was clear both were more relaxed. Kate was consistent, checked on Callie under the bed and gave Ollie all the love he would let her. We came home & Ollie did not do his usual stomp to every floor of the house screaming at us. Nothing in the house was messed up, nothing broken, all as it was left including happy cats. I’ll definitely be using Kate again.”
“Heather was amazing with Payton Kitty, my 14-year-old Tabby! I'm so happy to have found someone who is not only good with cats, but finicky, skittish, old, medicated cats, at that! Payton is on a transdermal Methimazole for his antithyroidism. It is applied into his earflap (alternating) every 12 hours and in conjunction with his wet food. Heather was meticulous about keeping to Payton's schedule. We were away for 4 days, the first 4 days in 17 months and neither Payton nor I were looking forward to being apart, but Heather made us both feel like we were still together through her detailed check-ins and plenty of pictures! Many of her check-ins made me laugh, when she would mention, "Loud meowing coming from the bedroom," or "He walked away and into the bathroom." Yes, that's my cat. Anti-social to a T. Despite his wandering off when he was "done," she stayed the full 30 minutes just to make sure he had everything he needed. I will definitely lock-in Heather for my next away-from-home excursion! I highly recommend her, especially if you have a cat with fears and/or medication needs! Thank you so much, Heather! Payton says, "Merrrrow!"”
“I was very anxious about leaving my cat alone for the first time, but my meet and greet with Ally was so easy and comfortable I had no concerns. My cat even played with her and he doesn’t always like strangers. Would definitely book Ally again.”
“Elena was a real godsend. She came on short notice to take care of our elderly cat, who is a rescue and tends to need time to warm up to most people. Elena has a calm and gentle and presence and Bella felt safe with her right away. Elena was also excellent in her communication. She kept us updated on Bella's well-being and was responsive to our inquiries, ensuring we felt reassured while we were away. Her genuine love for animals was evident throughout the entire experience. We will be calling her again!”
“Anastasia knew how clingy my cats are and gave them extra love. There were several special instructions and she handled everything with care. Will definitely be calling her again ❤️”
“I can’t enough AMAZING things about Megan! She has been a God-sent for our new baby Onix and she cares for him so much! She is careful with what he encounters outside and is helpful keeping consistency with us on his command words we are training him with.”
“Last minute booking for my two cats. Very friendly, and accommodating- checked on my pets and played with them, sent photo updates. Awesome communication and put my mind at ease! Would recommend!”
About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.
About: In kennel settings I’ve worked it, I have also taken care of cats. I have my own as well. Don’t tell anyone but she’s probably the most spoiled pet in the house. I’m familiar with their behaviors and have an understanding of the care needed for them. They are our family and I’m here to take care of your fur baby in a way that shows that.
“Grace was so helpful with our cats! She was easy to communicate with before and during our trip and we really appreciated her help. We will definitely use Grace for our next trip.”
“Thank you for taking good care of our cats. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures of how they were doing. We also appreciated you being available on the Easter holiday while we were traveling.”
“Jenny accepted our *very* last-minute request after our scheduled plans fell through and for that alone I would've given her 5 stars! But Jenny went above and beyond when taking care of our dog. There were lots of pictures, even videos, and walks for the dog - and for the humans, when we came home there was a lovely dish of Xmas cookies waiting for us! We couldn't have ask for anything better. I can't say it too many times - THANK YOU!!!”

“Our dog had a wonderful day with Donna and her dog, which included plenty of outdoor play. Donna is patient, calm, and genuinely cares about dogs. We are happy that we found Donna and are looking forward to more visits in the near future.”
“So incredible! She is very attentive and responsive! We got video and photo updates throughout the day which made me know our dogs were well taken care of! Our dogs came home happy and tired! There is honestly nothing better than that. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!!”
“First time here and we’re already so impressed! Ms Jen and the husband are incredibly patient and truly willing to work with him. Since he has food allergies, I’m so thankful they crate-feed the dogs—no more tummy issues or diarrhea after daycare. Such a huge relief! Tysm!!”

“Our dog Kimchi had a great time with Kiersten! It was awesome getting updates with pictures when Kimchi was at daycare, the pics were really cute. Kiersten was quick to respond and we’ll definitely look book Kimchi for daycare here in the future”
“I appreciated that Jenny was able to watch Cooper last minute while I was visiting in town for a family event. She was quick to respond and communicate with. I could see that Cooper felt right at home in the pictures that she sent.”
About: Hello! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I have been caring for animals my whole life, including my own pets and also dogs I foster for a local rescue. I would love to care for your furry family member as well. As a Type-A personality and a mother of 3 humans and 3 dogs, I am very organized, reliable, detail-oriented, caring, and trustworthy. I work from home part-time in the photography industry and would love to help you add to the adorable photos of your pet while they are in my care, if you would like! I have a Masters Degree in Higher Education and a Bachelors in Entrepreneurship, both at Illinois State University. I did my business plan on a doggy day care and when I was a kid I wanted to be a vet, so as you can see...caring for animals has been in my blood from a young age! Several of my animals have had special needs or are prone to injury, so I have LOTS of experience in that regard. My vet can vouch for the fact that I would make a great vet tech. Blood and other bodily fluids do not phase me and I am cool as a cucumber under pressure (I've dealt with two dogs with broken legs, two dog strokes, cancer, many a laceration, a diabetic cat, and a dog with no eyes.) I also have fostered several puppies and love their puppy breath! Happy to help care for the youngest of your pets as well. I work from home part-time during typical business hours and cart my kids to and from their activities. My spare time is spent caring for your furry friends! Whether I am coming into your home or your pets are coming into mine, your pets and property will be treated with the utmost care and consideration. I will provide the excellent service I expect for pet sitters for my own family dogs and nothing less. Safety and security are also top of mind and, with my high attention to detail, nothing will be missed. Pets in my home will be treated like family. We have 2 retired racing greyhounds who are loving, calm, and kind, as well as a foster-fail super mutt who loves to play and keep our house safe from chipmunks and mail carriers. I have three kids (12, 10, and 7) who all have extensive experience with dogs and who will help me respectfully love on your pet while you are away. We have a LARGE fenced in yard with lots of little critters to sniff after and plenty of room to run. We live in a pet-friendly cul-du-sac with several dogs and chickens next door.
“This was my first time taking my little Mollie to Stepfanie. It was a very positive day. Mollie was loved on and I don’t think she e wanted to leave. I will definitely use her again.”
“I needed a sitter for Zeus last minute. I downloaded the Rover app, made my profile and Katy responded and accepted. I love the fact that Katy sends photos periodically to show how he was doing. She loved Zeus and Zeus had a good time for the few hours he was there. I will definitely ask Katy again when I need a sitter again.”
“Jackie was phenomenal. I reached out pretty last minute with a request that wasn’t exactly simple—she had to pick Ghost up from his training facility (not from me) and coordinate all of that seamlessly. On top of that, she even helped me sort out a small payment detail on Rover to make sure everything reflected correctly, which she absolutely didn’t have to do. She was super responsive, easy to work with, and just handled everything without friction. And the best part—Ghost lit up the second he saw her again after a few months, which tells you everything you need to know. Somehow she manages all of this while caring for multiple dogs at once and raising a young family, which honestly makes it even more impressive. Highly recommend giving Jackie a shot.”

“Pallavi did a fantastic job caring for our 18- month old Goldendoodle ,Bruce. She is very flexible and accommodated our last minute reservation. She made sure Bruce was comfortable and provided regular updates and shared photos.”
About: First things first: I only accept 1 canine guest at a time. I have a fun-loving 3 yr old Black Labrador who is as excited for new guests as I am. I'm home 24/7 and have a large enclosed back yard for playtime. Come by anytime for a visit and check out the environs if you're thinking of boarding. I work from home 24/7. Weekdays/weekends start at 6:00 AM and the day wraps up from 9:00-10:00 PM. I have more than enough availability to give your dog all the attention it needs. I have a large, enclosed back yard that's big enough for a good run, and a very friendly 3 yr old black labrador who loves guests. We often go to the Batavia Dog Park on Main for summer swims in the spring-fed pond if that's something you're interested in. If you haven't ascertained this by now, I only accept 1 canine guest at a time, so rest assured your pup will have plenty of attention and minimal risk of negative interactions that could result from an unrestricted boarding environment. I keep my house very clean; if you suspect your pup is having any issues with fleas please bring that to my attention.
About: I have always loved animals and we have dogs and cats at home. They are our family, and we’d love to have your pets join in on the fun! I work part-time from home and can let dogs out as often as needed. I’m happy to visit your home as well. My schedule is flexible to meet your needs! We are very cautious with doors to make sure no pets get outside without supervision. We aren’t allowed to have a fence in our neighborhood, so I’ll put dogs on a leash or a lead (depending on owner preference) to go outside. Our golden retriever loves to play, and is great at sharing his many toys!

“Caitlin saved the day with a last minute walk when things went awry at home. Sansa loves her walks and Caitlin is an amazing communicator. Thank you…you are a blessing!”
About: I've been caring for the neighborhood pets since I was young, and have been grooming dogs in-home for about 10 years. I specialize in working with dogs who are particularly anxious or need a little extra love ❤️ With my grooming company, I am in complete control of my schedule! We can work together to find a solution that works best for you Generally I'll come in, take care of any house duties requested! Once the pet is comfortable with me then we'll spend some time playing or walking!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, with over 35 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and fish. I currently have a 6 year old furry dog baby of my own, Violet, a Basenji/Terrier mix, so I fully understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities that come with pet ownership. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly cared for neighbors and family members’ dogs and cats - providing feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full-time from home, which allows me the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and check-ins. This means your pet will receive consistent, reliable care without long gaps in attention. I’m available during weekdays with flexible daytime scheduling, as well as weekends. I do my best to accommodate routines so your pet’s schedule stays as normal and stress-free as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and follow all instructions closely to ensure your pet stays in a familiar, secure environment. I’m attentive to details like feeding routines, leash safety, and making sure doors and gates are secure at all times. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, adjusting my approach to match their personality. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, and regular updates with photos so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. :)
About: I have regularly dog-sat for a couple different families in my neighborhood for two years. In my experience, I have only been asked to check in on them a few times a day to play with them, let them outside, and feed them. One of the dogs I cared for needed medications twice a day, so I have experience with that. I’ve only had experience with boarding a dog once, but it was successful! The sweet little dog slept in my bed with me. I don’t mind having a big dog sleep on my bed, though, as my own dog is a cuddly 80-lb Labrador. Walking dogs is something I love to do because I enjoy being outside and getting exercise! I have been walking dogs for years because I have always had one in my home. I love meeting and playing with dogs of all sizes; I have never been afraid of them! Since I was a little girl, I have enjoyed playing with my own dogs, as well as ones I would see outdoors. I just graduated college, so I’m home & trying to figure out a job, but my schedule is open as of now. I will be working part-time for my dad, but those hours are not set yet. I am used to taking dogs out to go potty with or without a fenced-in yard. I can put a harness on a dog for walks, and I can put them in a crate when I leave (if preferred by owner).
“Grace was amazing handling my German Shepard, My dog is sweet but can be intimidating. He is strong and will bark at other dogs on walks so I always worry a little if people will be comfortable walking him. Grace was awesome with him and put me at ease. I’m so glad I found her to help me out and would use her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Megan, a trail-loving mom and lifelong animal lover who finds any excuse to be outside, especially during the long, sunny days of summer. I’ve grown up with pets, from cuddly cats to an energetic Siberian Husky who taught me all about patience, play, and the importance of a good walk! These days, I volunteer at local animal shelters and love providing thoughtful, attentive care to both dogs and cats. I know summer adventures look different for every pet, so I’m happy to adjust to their needs. Whether that means a leisurely walk with plenty of shade and water breaks, a playful backyard visit, enrichment time indoors where it's cool and comfortable, or simply some extra companionship while you're away, your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a summer walk, or some quality one-on-one attention, I treat every pet like family. I believe in clear communication, dependable care, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give them a fun, enriching experience while helping you enjoy peace of mind. Let’s make this summer full of wagging tails, sunny adventures, and plenty of happy memories! I’m typically available after 2:00 PM on weekdays, but there is flexibility. If you're looking for afternoon or early evening care, I’d love to help! I provide calm, loving care in your pet’s own space, keeping their routine and comfort top priority. Whether it's playtime, feedings, walks, or just quiet company, I make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and well-loved while you're away. 🧽 I also understand that accidents can happen, simple potty cleanups during a visit are always included. For larger messes that require extra time, I offer optional cleanup services: $10 Basic Cleanup: Removing soiled bedding, wiping up big pieces or puddles, and getting your pet set up with fresh bedding. $25 Deep Clean: More involved cleaning when there’s a substantial mess that needs extra time and care. These options help me keep your pet clean and comfortable while also staying on schedule for all my visits.
About: I love animals with all my heart and promise to treat yours as if they were part of my family. I grew up with all sorts of animal, from cats and dogs to little critters like gerbils, hamsters and chinchillas. My current baby is a Yorkie whom I care for more than anything else in the world. I am very responsible, caring and pay the utmost attention to detail. When walking my baby I am super cautious (probably bordering on ADHD) and do not take risks or chances as far as the safety and well-being of all involved go. I am punctual and very reliable, always 10 minutes early (if I’m not early then I consider myself late ). Trust that I will care for your furry family as if they were my own.

“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel!

Walks and playtime as well, I know getting energy out can be a very important thing!

About: ** I took some time off of Rover and I am back with a limited schedule due to work hours** I am an avid dog lover and dog mom to 2 pups. Most of my life has revolved around dogs and I wouldn’t want it any other way! At a young age, I was trusted by all of the nieghbors to dog sit. After college, I was fortunate enough to foster a few rescues from a local humane society. Fostering dogs was a very rewarding experience as it gave me my 2 babies, Milo and Bear. Unfortunately, Bear and Milo have now passed and I miss them terribly everyday. I currently have a Doberman named Ambrose and an Australian Shepard named Max. They are a bonded pair and have so much energy! I have experience with very large dogs and puppies as young as 2 months old— but I am comfortable with all breeds! I am available for dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits. If you would like me to board your dog in my home, I welcome that as well! As long as they are dog friendly; my pups would love a new friend 😊 During the day on weekdays I work a full-time hybird job with flexibility. My in office days are Monday and Tuesday so usually unavailable those days. I am free for walks/drop ins during the week/weekend as well as house sitting. I am a very active person alone and with my own dogs. They get walks 1-2x per day and get lots of exercise in our backyard. I would love to hang out with your pup and play! I will come to you to make them feel more comfortable in their own environment.
About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
“Tammy was amazing! Our dog loved hanging with her sweet and playful dog, Bugsy, and lounging with her cats. We got daily updates which helped us feel relaxed while we were away. We will definitely use her in the future. Thank you for everything!!”
“Amazing dog sitter! She sent a bunch of pictures of my dog during his stay and took him on some really nice walks. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. Definitely recommend!”
“Mera was incredible with my dog Winston. He is an older dog and Mera went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I am very thankful to Rover for connecting me with Mera!”
“Ashley and her whole family were wonderful! She was quick to respond helped Ernie feel loved and at home. I loved knowing Ernie was in a home with other greyhounds and he was the only guest dog. We’ve already booked our next stay!”
“We needed a sitter last minute for our two dogs and we’re so lucky to have Jessica and David available. They were quick to respond to my request and arranged a meet and greet right away. The best part is the great care my dogs had while we were away for the weekend. They have a great fenced in yard so my dogs were able to be outside and be active and play. Jessica and David were very communicative with pictures and videos so we felt very comfortable being away. We highly recommend them to care for your pooches!”
About: My name is Sandra and I’m 28 years old. I have two furry family members; Bonbon, an 11 year old poodle mix, and Wally, a 3 year old collie mix. I currently work as a Dog Groomer, but have about 6 years of experience in the Dog Daycare industry. My past jobs have given me the experience needed to handle and care for dogs of all sizes. They’ve also taught me how to greet an unfamiliar dog, how to do feedings for various dogs, administer medication, and how to detect signs of aggression and fear. With my personal experience and professional experience, I am well equipped to handle dogs in all stages of life. With that being said, It takes patience, hard work, and honesty to care for a dog. My offered services to clients are met with the highest of standards. I believe in giving 100% in all work that I do, meaning you’ll never receive less than excellent care for your best friend. It’s difficult to leave your dog in the hands of a stranger, however, I always treat every dog the way I would want my dog to be treated: like family. If you have any questions regarding my services, please feel free to reach out! I am fully committed to Rover, meaning I have full availability, and can give your furry family members my full attention 7 days a week. I care for your pets the way I would care for my own. Every furry family member is different, and you know them best. I can guarantee my care will reflect the dog’s lifestyle. Whether you crate at home, or your pet snuggles in bed with yourself; I aim to keep the routine as close as possible to that at home.
“Ashley was responsive and sent pictures of kylo! He came home tired but well taken care of. Even after flights were delayed so long, Ashley had her husband bring Kylo out to us and I appreciate that so much.”
