“Jennifer was a great sitter for our 2 large breed pups. She gave us a lot of updates and photos and took great care of them. We felt really safe leaving our dogs with her. Her home was clean and secure. I highly recommend sitting with Jennifer and I would take my pups back again in the future. Thank you Jennifer! ☺️”
“I am 100% satisfied with Nadine’s pet care service. My cats Curzon and Jadzia were welcomed and and enjoyed being with her house pets and got along so well with multiple cats. I was so pleased to get daily picture updates and Nadine responded timely to all my text messages. I highly recommend her for cat boarding and genuine pet care.”
“Allison was so great with my two dogs! This is my first time with rover and I was extremely nervous to leave my dog with someone, however, she made me feel at ease with the whole process. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was super flexible! Both of my dogs had a great time I’m sure, they were both so comfortable (which doesn’t happen often)! 10/10 recommend Allison!”
“Allison was very good with our older dog. She sent several pictures and Sandi seemed very happy. We felt very comfortable leaving her. Allison does have several steps up into the house but she was able to accommodate Sandi up and down. Thanks so much!!”
“We recently hired Margerita to take care of our fur baby while we were away. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Margerita was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring towards our pet. She always updated us with pictures and videos whenever I asked her. It was very easy to communicate with her throughout the time she had our pet. It was really sweet of her to pack some treats in the bag when we picked him up. I can totally see that my pet was missing his two friends he made while living with her. I will definitely recommend her and will hire in future if needed.”
“We are exceptionally impressed with Lynne. Not only does she have a welcoming and caring personality but we could tell she treats dogs as family. We were hesitant to leave our dog because he needs extra TLC since he is getting old and suffering from arthritis, but after meeting Lynne for the first time, we could tell our dog, Bobo felt at home. Lynne sent us daily pictures and reassuring messages of how Bobo was doing which made us felt more at ease during our vacation and we knew he was in great hands. Thank you again Lynne for taking care of Bobo!”
“I left my dog for a week with Tracey. I was so nervous because he has separation anxiety and I’ve never spend a night away from him. Tracey was so good to him and was sending pictures and videos daily. He got just as much of a vacation as we did. He loved playing at Tracey’s farm!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 14 years. I started by working at shelters to help adopt out dogs in need of homes. I had to have extra patience and love and care for them. Especially dogs that have been through a lot. I then worked at a boarding facility. Which this is taking care of client, dogs. Medicating, feeding, exercising, and also most importantly disinfecting. Also making sure the dogs feel loved while their owners are away. I then continued to work at a groomers. So maintaining a clean coat and learning how to properly restrain dogs so they don’t hurt themselves or us. And last I am currently working at a dog training facility. Becoming a trainer is probably one of the most rewarding jobs. I definitely am able to read dogs a lot better. I’ve worked from small to big breeds. Sweet too reactive or aggressive. I’m here to give dogs and clients some guidance. I love, not only helping clients to have better control of their dog, but also to build a bond with them like never before. I have a lot more time to be with them. I have cameras set up if for whatever reason I do have to step out. I can always check on the pup! I have a fenced yard. I have crates available for my dogs if your dog is not friendly or just anxious. I can also crate your dog if wanted. Whatever your preference is.
“This power duo took an amazing care of our Mochi. They gave daily updates and pictures that we greatly appreciate. We also want to thank you for the treats and thoughtful card left in her bag. We will definitely be using your services again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 8 years. I enjoy walking, running, playing catch or just simply keeping them company. I especially love senior doggies. I enjoy waking up before the sun rises most days; I am lucky enough to make my own schedule teaching yoga and doing personal training. I’ve been doing pet sitting on the side for family and friends for years and decided to expand my services. My pets have access to be in/out dogs. They all get along very well and have a big yard to roam around while I’m out.
“Shinead and her family were wonderful. They took care of my dog for 4 days and she always kept me updated with pictures. It was our first time leaving our dog to someone for a long time and we felt really safe leaving him in her care. My dog seemed to have loved it as well he got along with everyone that took care of him. She’s amazing will definitely rebook when I need to!”
“Leo had a great time with Flor! He came home exhausted from all the playing he did with her dogs. Appreciate that she sent regular pictures and videos of him having fun. We will certainly use her in the future.”
