“Monica was awesome! I know it is a great sign when my shar pei immediately warms up to someone, and Monica made friends with her right away. She gave very thorough visit summaries and took tons of pictures which was so nice. We will definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.”

“I have 3 dogs who are a handful! Katherine jumped right in and took on the challenge. I can tell she treats them well based on their reaction to her coming over. I also love the photos she takes for the rover cards!”

“Rachel did a great job taking care of Remy and spoiling him while we were away. Our pup is very timid and he did great with her. She also hauled in quite a few packages that arrived earlier than expected before they could get soaked with snow!”

“Dachshunds approved. I booked Morgan for drop in visits while we were out of town. I was kind of nervous on how my 2 judgy wienerdogs would do, but somehow she won them over, and the pictures she sent proved it. So happy it all worked out.”

“I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care”

“Lisa was great with Pemi and Maple! Thank you so much for dropping in and spending time with them over Thanksgiving. I would happily work with Lisa again in the future. Happy Thanksgiving!”


“My animals love Cory. He goes above and beyond, even taking my ten year old Pom Lily home with him during tornado warnings. I never have to worry with Cory taking care of my animals. He’s very responsible and kind.”

“Molly was amazing! She is very detail oriented and did an amazing job at keeping me updated throughout the stay. I would highly recommend Molly to anyone who is looking for a loving sitter!”

“Emily has been excellent!! She’s great at communicating during her visits and always sends tons of pictures. Our dog always looks like she’s having a blast with her! We will continue to use her for visits!”

“Arielle did great, would definitely book her again. She stopped by daily for a week to feed and check in on our cat while we were out of town. Her check in reports were very detailed and she sent plenty of pictures so that we could tell the cat was doing well, and she spent the entire time we booked her with the cat, giving plenty of snuggles in our absence after she was done with feeding, water refresh and litter box cleaning.”

“Our dog and cat loved Aubri! It was so nice to leave for the weekend knowing they were so well taken care of! She sent us so many nice pictures and updates so we didn't have to worry at all! She went above and beyond to play with our dog and get his energy out. We will definitely be rebooking!!”

“Absolutely fantastic. Daniel goes above and beyond to make sure that your pets are well loved. On top of that he even got my mail and moved my trash for me without even asking. He's on thr top of my list whenever I need service again.”

About: We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had my own dog for 4 years. I love being around dogs and want to show yours as much love as I show my own. I work from home 2-3 days a week. I’m also available for overnight boarding depending on the night and weekends. Just ask if I’m available! I have a fenced in backyard. Your dog is welcome on beds and furniture. My house and property is very dog friendly for all types.
“Tanya has been caring for my Jazzy cat for months now, and I always know she gets the care she needs! I never have to worry when I’m out of town. Tanya’s the best!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Allison went above and beyond taking care of our two cats while we were out of town!! She sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I have grown up with and cared for cats my entire life. I have also owned a large breed size dog and been fur friends with many, many other pups. After a short stint of working in the office, I am back home 7 days a week again! This will ensure lots of time & attention with your fur friend! We’re excited to be back!!! 🐾 I live in an apartment complex, but a fenced in area is directly behind my building if that’s what you prefer for your pet. Its a quieter neighborhood with not a lot of traffic so it’s nice to take walks in too 🙂
