“I was really grateful to know that I could count on Meredith to take care of my animals after a 15 hour workday has been intense for two weeks and I need to be able to step away and focus 100% on my work annoying they were taken care of and safe and not stuck inside or in a crate and having somebody come let them out while I was at work is worth it to me they are my family you can count on Meredith and know nothing was stolen”
“Benjamin was outstanding. I have a shy and nervous GSD who he cared for like her was his own dog. They got along great! Frequent picture updates and narratives about how each visit went. Would absolutely have him watch over my doggo again!”
“Maria took very good care of my cats while I was in the hospital. They were not afraid of her, and she interacted with all of them. She was also able to administer medication to my one cat with a hyperthyroid. I loved receiving the pictures she took during her visit. She kept my kitchen clean after feeding them and kept the storage area where I have the litter boxes clean and swept up the floor after scooping. I would recommend her if you needed someone to look after your pets.”
“Amanda was great! She responded quickly to our inquiry and was able to help watch our dogs at the last minute. She sent us pics of the dogs while we were gone and kept us updated. Very kind and responsible. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“My fiancé and I were planning on having my parents watch our dog while on vacation. Last minute we found out they were unable to watch her. We decided to try out Rover for the first time. Casey put us at ease while we were away. She sent detailed updates every time she dropped in. She even went an additional time when I asked her last minute. We will definitely be using Casey again!!”
About: I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including seniors and pups with special needs, and I’m great at reading body language to make sure every pet feels at ease. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just keeping their routine steady, I bring patience, reliability, and a whole lot of heart to every visit. I graduated this May and currently hold a part-time position, so my schedule will be fairly open this summer to give your pup the time and attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their usual routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and positive reinforcement to keep them happy and relaxed. I prioritize clear communication with the pet owner to make sure I’m meeting all their needs and providing the best care possible.
“Erika has been great every time I’ve used her. She carefully listened to how best to deal with all 3 of my dogs, including their weird quirks and anxiety. When I booked her again she remembered what I told her the first time so I only had to update her on anything that had changed. She always sends pictures and a lovely summary of each dog and how it went. I will continue to book her as long as she remains available.”
About: I’ve been around and taking care of dogs and cats my whole life! As a child I helped neighbors when they were out of town. I have several pets at home I take care of. I walk my dogs regularly and want to help busy families feel less stressed out! I can come to your home to let your fur babies out and/or walk them while you are at work or out of town. I will play with them and spoil them in your absence!!
“Tee-Tee overall is an exceptional at her job. She took good care of our dogs while we were away. We trust her coming into our home for the first time and she did not disappoint. Tee-Tee was not on the scheduled time that we both agreed upon. However she did communicate with me each time she was late to perform her duties. Overall I will definitely use her again because we are pleased with her service. :-)”
“Angie was great, filled in for us last minute! She was easy to work with and accommodated a virtual meeting to go over instructions to fit our schedule. We were very happy with the care our two cats received!!”
