“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received while we were away. Steven went above and beyond to ensure Baylee was comfortable, happy, and well-loved. He was also very accommodating with drop off and pick up. We received regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. We returned home to a happy dog! We highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a awesome dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again!”

“10000/10! First time rover user and first time leaving my dog with a "stranger" overnight so I was super nervous doing so. I had a 10 day trip planned and my family who would normally help out could no longer watch my dog. Monica responded quickly to my initial request and even made time for a quick meet and greet a week before to help ease my nerves. She has a nice, clean house with a beautiful big fenced in yard, which was perfect for my dog. You can tell she truly cares about the wellbeing of your pet and making sure that YOU are as comfortable as possible. I received pictures and messages that helped to reassure me that my dog was doing well and was loved! She and her husband treated him like their own, which made this entire process so much easier for me. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Monica through Rover. I would (and will) absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter for your pet!”

We are so lucky to have found Amy and family (and Finley) and would recommend them in a heartbeat.”

“Michelle was great :) she took great care of my pups”


About: I have taken care of dogs since a young age. I pride myself on assessing what will make the dog feel most comfortable while staying in my care. I currently do not work outside the home so my level of animal supervision is high. I have time for lots of walks and new experiences. I have one very friendly dog that lives with me full time. I have crate available if one is necessary. Pets in my care are allowed on the furniture.
