Personalized care for your dog or cat - Newell

“What a great people! This was my first rover.com booking & Candice was soooo patient as I figured out how to do this. I saw a big difference in my older dachshund Dora compared to how stressed she has been after staying at a kennel compared to staying in a home. She was calm & her normal self when I picked her up compared to the stress I've seen in her when I've left her at a kennel. I received lots of pictures, could see that she was doing fine. Had a last minute change in plans, needed to pick Dora up about 90 minutes later than I'd expected, and Candice & family made it work. Thank you! I would definitely book with them again.”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for them. I currently have two French Bulldogs and a Schnauzer, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and the daily care dogs need to feel comfortable and happy. Friends and family regularly trust me to dog sit because they know I treat every dog like my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to match their routine and provide plenty of care and affection. I’m currently a college student on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Because of this, I’m able to give dogs lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, active, and loved while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and spend time outside with supervision. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I’m happy to follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, crate routines, medications, playtime, or specific house rules. My goal is to make pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with extensive experience in caring for dogs of all ages, I bring a unique blend of compassion, reliability, and specialized skills to the table. My background includes training puppies in basic commands and providing attentive care to senior dogs, ensuring their comfort and well-being. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of each pet’s individual needs, coupled with my unwavering commitment to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family members. Your pets will receive the utmost care and attention they deserve, every time. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, seamlessly woven into my schedule. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I prioritize ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent, loving attention and the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. My day is structured around providing top-notch care, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. Your pet's well-being is always my top priority, and I manage my time effectively to ensure their needs are met without compromise. Creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment is my top priority when caring for pets. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure pets are comfortable, happy, and secure by following their routine, offering personalized attention, and maintaining a clean, pet-friendly space. Trust and communication with both pets and owners are key, and I’m committed to providing peace of mind every step of the way.

“Jen was great with Luna. Luna can be shy at times and it looks like she warmed up to Jen right away. I appreciate Jen's communication and our home was out of the way for her so she really did us a favor looking after Luna while we were gone. Thanks Jen!”

“We met Candice and felt confident in her love for animals. She took good care of our cats and even had a few extra visits. She sent photos and updates. We hope she will be available next time we leave town!”

“I arranged 2 drop ins for an extra long work day. She was very professional, and very considerate of my home. She was very attentive and my dogs really liked her. She sent many pictures and stayed with them for 30 minutes each visit. I really appreciate not only her professionalism, but her consideration for my dogs and myself. I will be contacting her again next time my dogs need a walk or friendly visit!”

“I had the absolute best experience with Marshall and can’t recommend him enough. He was beyond accommodating with my random and unpredictable schedule for work while out in Rapid City. It was my first time using Rover as well as first time leaving my pup with a stranger but my nerves were quickly relieved to see how well my pup adjusted and got comfortable. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Deuce ❤️”
