“Net did a fantastic job with our dog’s first Rover experience and we were happy to get the photos, update and report cards - assurance our dog was being treated great while we were away. We will be booking with Net again!”

“Jose has been amazing! It is very comforting to know that my boys are well cared for when I cannot be there. We were able to do a meet and greet before scheduling regular walks. He is punctual, polite, and communicative. I can tell Astor enjoys his walks because every day I have off, like clockwork, he looks for Jose.”

“Marybeth was great with Reggie! He’s a goofball and she handled his enthusiasm like the pro she is. Reggie looked forward to their walks—literally—he sat by the door waiting for her to arrive.”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since as long as I can remember. I have gone through 5 dogs growing up and have always been surrounded by the pets of friends and family! I’ve always loved every kind of animal, I believe the bond between a dog or cat and their human is truly unconditional. I’m eager to meet and care for more furry friends! I am a full-time hairstylist. Though I am scheduled for the same hours each week, sometimes I have slower weeks than others and my weeks are never always the same. I am looking for Rover as a side job to help me out during my slower days! I live in an Inlaw apartment under my mom‘s house. We have a fenced in backyard. I only have one cat in my apartment, and my mom has two dogs that are very friendly. We have a walking trail along a river across the street from our house!

I provide consistent attention, affection, and supervision to ensure each pet feels secure and happy during their stay. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who do great with other dogs and can make wonderful companions, if your pet enjoys social interaction. Because I work from home, my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day and maintain their normal routines.

I tailor each stay to your dog’s individual needs, whether that includes scheduled feedings, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle time.

About: Since falling head over heals for my Yorkie, nurturing for him has been one of the greatest experiences I learned. I potty trained him, bathe, and also searched up a recipe for a nutritional diet haha! We are always outside unless the ground is too hot then we wait later on the day to exercise for at least an hour, preferably a jog. I know of the greatest dog parks in this area and would love to introduce him to new friends <3 I am flexible with dog walks and part time doggy care. I am very organized with time and will know what to do and when to do so! The space I have inside my house is pretty decent but I like to spend time outside anyways. I have a fenced yard and will watch as they play. If its okay for field trips, I usually take long walks on trails to explore and visit the doggy park for some time. Open to all preferences.
“Our puppy was loved and cared for while we were away she is just the best!!!! We didn’t want to leave our 5 month old puppy for a week but it was much easier knowing Katrina and her daughter were here playing and keeping her feeling loved while we were not here!!! Can’t recommend her enough!!!!”

“Just started having Reagan walk our dog twice a week. She was personable and professional when she came to meet him. She communicated after each walk and I could tell that she was engaged with Biggie and gave him attention during her time with him. I will continue to use her weekly!”
About: I have loved animals all my life and your pet will have a great and safe time with me. I will make sure they are well cared for and that they get out a lot during the day. I am usually home all the time but if for some reason I have to leave they will be safe in one room. I have a 15 year old son who also loves animals and really wants a dog and this will also be an excellent opportunity for him to really learn what it is like taking care of a dog. your pet will be in great hands. So give us a call and we will treat your pet like the family member I know every pet owner wants

Evelyn did an excellent job at keeping me informed about Daisy's walk. I liked the update about how she did during the walk and really enjoyed seeing pictures of Daisy. I could tell that Evelyn really cares about doing a good job and takes her responsibilities seriously. Daisy looked very happy when I came home. Thank you for making me feel at ease.
