4. Melissa L.
“My husband was away for business and I had to work during the day. When original sitter plans fell through, Melissa was willing to help and she was AMAZING! She was respectful of the house, removed her shoes and went above and beyond while she was checked in on our puppy. She took outside for bathroom breaks and played with Hope for the remaining time. She even changed her water. Her notes were so fun to read and we enjoyed the photos she shared. Melissa is reliable and trustworthy. Thank you!”
5. Patricia M.
“Patricia has been wonderful to have walking the dogs. She has responded quickly to my requests and makes sure to understand what my girls need from her visits. Patricia has gone above and beyond on their walks, sends me lots of photos, and even refreshes their water bowl once they are back home. I know that my girls are well cared for and safe when they are with Patricia and I will definitely use her again in the future!”
6. Rachel C.
“Rachel did a phenomenal job! This was our first experience with the rover app, and we were nervous to leave our cats for the first time. Rachel put us at ease the entire time, taking lots of pictures and giving in depth updates on our furry besties. We appreciate how prepared she was, and her attention to details. Even when we asked her not to worry about the liter box, she kept us updated when it got full quicker than expected! It’s only been half a day since we been home, and I swear one of our cats is expectantly waiting for her new friend Rachel to come back (: will be booking with her in the future!”

10. Jennifer f.
“Jennifer was great! She dropped in on my Bella twice a day while I was away and took her for long walks each time. She was very responsive, always filled out a Rover card, and sent lots of photos. She even brought in my meal delivery box and put everything in the fridge when it arrived early. I would definitely hire her again!”
11. Rebecca F.
“Rebecca clearly loves being with dogs and has been a wonderful supporter of our pup. She communicates in a very timely manner regarding appointments and any potential bookings (even if they don't work). She's very flexible and has helped us even find better ways to work with our dog. We really appreciate Rebecca's patience with us as our pup is quite anxious at times and needs a little more attention to detail than most. He willingness to work with us even in a sometimes difficult situation cannot be applauded more and we really appreciate her!”

I have dog sat since I was a teen for a neighborhood Dalmatian growing up. I am loving and caring for dogs and cats.

I live in Vernon with my fiancée and our son and dog. we are well versed in extra curricular for our son, taekwondo and swimming lessons but always have time to take our pup for a walk or to the dog park for some fetch.
