“Hannah was great! Easy to book with and was very accommodating to our dogs' needs and allowed time for adjustment. I had no concerns at all that our dogs weren't perfectly cared for while with her! She sent photos and updates regularly to ensure me that everything was going well. Will definitely reach out the next time we need to board our dogs.”
“Mariah and her family always take such great care of Boo when I’m in town, and they are always so flexible with timing! Boo is always so happy to be at her house he doesn’t even look back when I leave. Can’t recommend enough!!”
“Bobby was great with both of our shepherd, Arya and Dany. He sent us updates periodically, which was great to know that they were adjusting well, especially since our younger dog is very timid. Bobby sent pics of the doggos playing fetch in his backyard, which is Arya’s favorite pastime. Thanks again, Bobby! We will definitely be reaching out for future dog boarding needs.”
“Im so thankful for Jennifer, she was able to watch my puppy last minute, she was great communicating with me throughout my puppy stay. She’s wonderful with animals and I definitely will be booking another stay with her and her family!!”

“This is the first time I had someone watch my girls that wasn't family. I was so nervous. When I asked if Amber was available she got back to me right away and is very quick to respond when she is dog sitting. She was so welcoming and very sweet. I felt comfortable with her as soon as I met her and knew my girls would be in good hands. She kept updating me with pictures the whole time I was away which was very comforting. I will definitely have her watch my girls again and I highly recommend her!!”
“Heather and David were amazing with my pup. They would send pictures, take him for a walk and treat him like he was part of the family. I found them a couple days before I left and I definitely hit the jackpot with them. I can't thank them enough for making my time away less stressful and loving on my pup as much as I do. Thank you guys! I highly recommend.”

“She arrived a little early so we could go over Ollie’s routine and instructions, which I really appreciated. She was also very friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty. I appreciated her kindness and willingness to help, but I would have liked clearer communication about how the visit went. That said, she was good with Ollie and he really liked her.”

About: With 15 years of hands-on pet care experience—including a decade caring for a cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) and an elderly dog who required specialized support—I’m comfortable meeting a wide range of pet needs. I provide reliable, attentive care such as walks, feeding, playtime, and close adherence to established routines. These experiences have shaped me into a patient, compassionate, and dependable sitter who truly treats every pet like my own. I work from home in a flexible position, allowing me to adjust my schedule around both my own pets and the pets I care for through Rover. Being home throughout the day means your pet will receive consistent supervision, timely walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship—never long stretches alone. I care for pets in my home by keeping their routines as normal as possible with regular meals, walks, playtime in our large yard, and lots of attention. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and companionship. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and at home.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments through both dog walking and pet sitting.

As a pet sitter, I provide reliable, attentive care in your home, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping pets on their normal schedule.
