“Ashley is great has done wonders with Darby. She had never been away from us and it was a fight to get her up the sidewak to Ashley's door. Now she leads the way. Thank you. Becky & Norm”
“Natalie was awesome with our puppy. She kept me informed and sent pictures/videos throughout his stay. I will definitely be booking her again. Thanks Natalie!!”
“Amber was great with our dog. She sent pictures and updates. Knowing she was the only dog at the house made us feel comfortable since we aren’t sure how she’d get along with a strange dog. Thank You Amber for a great experience all around.”
“Thank you Marlene! You cared for our sweet Cooper like he was your own! Even with his extra needs, diabetic and blind! He had so much fun with you. And, thank you for the continued daily updates while we were away! Your home is warm and welcoming.”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“We just had our first experience with Roover and booking through Debbie, and I have to say, it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we reached out until we picked up our furry babies, I was impressed. Debbie was super responsive—almost right away! We received regular updates and adorable pictures of our kids, which made us feel so confident that they were in great hands. I think they may have even been a little spoiled enjoying the beautiful fenced yard! I can’t recommend Debbie and her husband enough, and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Tucker had a great stay with Sarah and her family while we vacationed for a week this year. This was his first time away from home and Sarah put us all at ease with her updates and pictures. We really appreciated her being there for us and taking such good care of our puppy. We will definitely book with her for our next need!”
“The BEST pet sitter in the area! I’ve used several sitters and interviewed several more - without a doubt, her family treated my girl as one of their own! I had picks sent during her stay, and constant communication that shows she loves what she does ❤️. I even got a progress report and jump drive of videos and picks of her stay. My go to from now on! Thank you and I will be using you again, and again, and again 😍😊”
“Abigail was amazing. She was able to make our anxious dog feel right at home. It was the first time we have left him and didn’t need to worry about him for one second. We will use Abigail for all of our future trips. She sent us pictures of them on walks and playing with other dogs. You could tell she really enjoyed having him while we were away.”
“Our pups loved their first overnight from home with Claire & family! We received pics and updates and felt so at ease knowing our babies were having a great time & being taken care of with such love! Thanks Claire & gang…we’ll be back!”
“Our 7yo mini goldendoodle stayed with Sabrina and her family for a week. She was happy when we picked her up and has been napping steadily since we brought her home. We did miss routine photo updates so will definitely ask for that specifically next time. Highly Recommended!”
“They not only are amazing human beings but they took wonderdul care of my dogs. I think they played with more than I do 🥰. I have very grateful to have them to call.”
“Isabel and her mom were fantastic with my two pups. My dogs came back tired after their stay, and I'm pretty sure my senior dog didn't actually want to leave! Highly recommend and will definitely use again.”
“Jillian is an awesome dog sitter! She took great care of our Louie while we were out of town for a few days. She sent us regular photo updates and let us know how he was doing each day. I can tell that she truly has a heart for pets and felt 100% confident leaving Louie with her. I will definitely contact Jillian next time we need a caregiver for Louie. She’s great!”
About: I have been the primary care giver of our two dogs for years and I grew up with multiple dogs. I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current dogs since they were young puppies. I currently work part time and my fiance works from home, so someone is home 98% of the time. The only time neither of us are not home is if we go grab dinner, groceries, or run a quick errand. I am able to provide daily exercise and full care each and every day, just like you do for your beloved pet at home. I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.
