Teri was amazing! She was able to meet with us when our original plans fell through last minute. She was highly communicative and got along with our sometimes skittish dog great. We will totally be booking her the next time we need dog care!

This was my first time leaving my dog home while going on vacation. I was nervous because he's 16 years old and I've never used a dog sitter before. But Guadalupe was great. She was very sweet with my dog, Motley, during the meet & greet. I could tell he was comfortable with her. She walked me through how to use the Rover app and was very accommodating, pleasant, and flexible with the holiday. She communicated well and I appreciated the text and photo updates. The house was exactly as I left it when I got back and I could tell my little guy was well cared for. Thank you, Guadalupe!

Nancy was such a kind, punctual, and professional person. I would highly recommend her for all your pet needs. She took the worry away from someone new stepping in, while my regular dog visitor was on vacation. I will definitely use her again.

I have a very high maintenance cat (17, blind, won't eat, etc) and Mackenzie took such good care of her! She checked in twice a day and sent very detailed updates to let me know how Gracie was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing the Gracie was safe and being well cared for by someone that really truly cared about Gracie's wellbeing. I'll definitely be rebooking with Mackenzie!!

About: Although I am only 19, I have had pets for as long as I can remember. My family and I have a total of 6 pets- 3 dogs and 3 cats! We have fostered and adopted our fair share of animals, all with different stories! One of our dogs is an amish labor rescue, one of my cats is blind, and another only has 3 legs!! While all of our pets now come from a different and difficult situation, it has been a reward and privilege to love and take care of them. I am familiar with hyper and untrained dogs as we have had 2 since they were puppies and they still are a bit crazy to this day! I am currently job searching so I can’t say what my availability will be like for the future but as for now I have no other commitments and am available whenever!! I am a very detail oriented person and realize that each animal has their own unique personality and routines. I am always open to learning about your fur babies and what they like or dislike. I love that each pet has their own quirks and I love being able to form relationships built on trust and respect!!

aww! Thank you for stopping by at the last minute. It was a huge relief to know my babies were all taken care of! Austin is the cat’s name. He’s a goof ball and loves it while we get him a Lion Hair cut ? Hope we can have you by another time.

This was the second time Lindsey took care of my cat Sweetie both times went great. I received photos everyday of Sweetie playing with his favorite feather toy. He was happy to see me come home but was not clingy like he had been depressed at my absence. He wanted to play with his toy followed by a cuddle and then more toy time. Great experience for both Kitty and me.🐾

About: Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a devoted pet parent for over 30 years, and my love for animals is truly at the heart of everything I do. From playful pups to curious cats and every animal in between, I believe each furry (or feathery!) friend deserves love, care, and a whole lot of fun. I currently have an 8 year old Plott Hound who is recovering from her second TPLO surgery. I spend devoted time with her every day completing her physical therapy exercises and doing all I can to optimize her recovery and golden years ahead. She has been a major part of my life and we have had lots of adventures together! She has road-tripped with me to 21 different states and lived for 6 years in the high desert mountains of AZ. I pride myself on being patient, flexible, and truly attentive to every animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a playful adventure, I can’t wait to be a part of your pet’s journey! I am a certified wellness instructor and make my own client schedule- so- I have lots of flexibility and can work with most client’s individual needs. I am flexible and adaptive to each individual pet’s needs and environment. I love walking and am happy to give extra time to take in the sniffs- or enjoy a snuggle!

About: I’ve taken care of small and large dogs before. I’ve dealt with dogs with trauma. I’m prepared to walk in rain when needed. I can also handle medication management. I’m currently working full-time remote two days a week. I’m in decent shape to walk for longer periods during my one-hour lunch break and after work at 4 pm. I’m friendly and open to a variety of pets. Though I don’t have any pets of my own, I’ll take care yours like they are mine. I’ve been trusted to care for pets for long periods. I have managed medication, special diets and walking several times a day.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from the puppy years all the way up to saying goodbye. I have many years of experience in handing dogs and caring for them. Throughout the years I have dog sat neighbors and friends dogs. Leaving a family member behind is hard, for both you and your pet, I am here to eliminate that stress by making sure your pet is well taken care of while their human is away. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule and will be able to work out times that best work for you and your pet! I do have a fur baby of my own, but my parents love watching him😊 When it comes to the safety of your pet, I take this very seriously. I only give treats/toys that you approve. If there are special accommodations your pet may need, please let me know before meeting so I can come prepared! I am very open minded to discussing anything that I can do to better care for your pet!

This is our second time using Danielle and I missed writing a review last time. She has always been very accommodating and the dogs enjoy her. We get lots of pictures and know our fur-babies are loved. She’s also great if you have medications. Highly recommend!!
