About: I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current two dogs since birth. What can I say dogs just like me . Retired from my chosen career path now full-time homemaker. I currently watch our two pups and we would love a new friend to play with! 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.
“Katarzyna and Tim were both super nice people. They sent daily videos of our dog playing. Our dog really enjoyed the pond! They both also responded to texts promptly. We will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“I could not ask Moore anyone. My boy is 11 and month old mastiff mutt mix.. he’s big, hasn’t learned his manners yet, slobbers profusely, but is the most lovable hunk of dog you could imagine. He fits in so well with Sabrina and her family. We will never stray🐾”
“Dawn watched our 2 miniature schnauzers for almost 2 weeks and was amazing. We have a 15 year old that requires several medications and special food prep, and one younger dog with more energy, and she did great with both. She has a great setup at her house, and I felt very comfortable with her, the care she provides and the environment for the dogs while we were away. She even sent pics regularly so we could see how they were adjusting and get our fix while we were away!”
“Aparajita accepted a last minute request for boarding and took amazing care of Sugar. She kept us informed about how Sugar was doing daily with photos and videos. It made us feel relieved knowing our pup was in such good hands while away from us. We would definitely rebook and recommend Aparajita!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Courtney and Jordan took great care of my dog and I was able to enjoy my trip away without worry.”
“Joe was nothing but 100% professional and made our first Rover.com experience a breeze! Even before officially booking with him he was extremely responsive, upfront, and helpful. He even gave tips on updating our profile. He was kind, sweet, and patient with our pups, and from the very first meeting I could tell he was very comfortable and understood dogs well. He sent photos and updates daily. We will definitely recommend Joe to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter for their fur babies, and we would love to use him again in the future if and when the need arises! Thank you Joe!”
“I cannot say enough about Karla! I was so anxious about leaving our Bassett, Luci, while being gone for a big trip! Luci has some separation anxieties. Karla was so reassuring. She let us do a meet and greet and also watched her for a bit another day before she stayed. I got pics and videos daily of their many adventures - walking, rural king, and the dog park! This brought me so much joy! Luci enjoyed having playtime with her dogs too. They truly treated Luci like their own. I highly recommend Karla! ❤️”
“Jaqueline was an absolute delight! She was so friendly, communicative, and sent plenty of pictures while my dog was with her. It was clear she took good care of him and I highly recommend her!”
“Michelle is the nicest pet sitter I never met before, she keep us updated with tons of photos every day and let us feel extremely safe when we are not close to my dog. My dog looks happy through out the stay and eat exactly what I told her to feed. Before she give my dog treats, she even texted us and asked us if it is okay to give him this and that. I would highly recommend her as your pet sitter no matter long or short stay.”
“Kyri was fantastic, lots of communication, wonderful home, great personality, no complaints at all, I dare say Buck wants to go back and have more fun with friends”
“Amber and her husband do an amazing job taking care of your fur baby. Bailey gets so excited when she realizes we are at their home. Couldn’t ask for better dog sitters. Will miss them as I’m getting married and moving to Columbus but now there’s time for them to watch your dog.”
“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.”
“My pups were so well loved and happy! I highly recommend Tara! She is very intentional about the care she provides, listening to care instructions and ensuring they’re implemented. Lucky dogs ( or cats) who get her care!”
“Sheila and Jeff were so wonderful! Our dog stayed there for 12 days and we got pictures and updates daily. She was loved and cared for in our absence- we would definitely bring her back again!”
“Marlene did a great job with our puppy Nacho. We did a 1 night stay before an upcoming longer stay and was very pleased. We appreciated getting updates and photos on how he was doing. Thank You”
