Kassy has been helping taking care of our animals for years. She has bathed and walked my pitbull. Her help with our foster animals has been invaluable. She has also watched our two cats. We will definitely be booking her through Rover!

Heather was so wonderful with our puppies! This was the first time we used Rover and she did awesome about sending pictures and letting us know they were happy and safe. We will certainly ask Heather again in the future to help look after our four legged babies 😊

About: I’ve worked with animals all my life and have been in the veterinary profession for 3 years. I have experience handling all different types of cats and dogs on all behavior levels I’m available for drops ins twice daily. I accept any days of the week as well. I will happily work with your schedule. If you have any conflicts or short notice cancellations I ask for a 24 hour notice in advance. I work in the ER/ICU as a Registered Veterinary Technician so I can determine if your pet becomes ill or is not acting how they should be. I’m a very vigilant person and respect your privacy of your home as well as your pets. I treat any animal as if it were my own!

Karla was wonderful! She left great feedback each day coupled with photos of both our cats. She also went above and beyond and did extra things that we asked about (eg, heat/ac) and swept the main living area to clean up litter and cat hair. Would recommend Karla in a heartbeat!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Louise to watch my Boxer, Juno, for a week, and who is only 18 months old, still a big puppy. I couldn't be more happy. I have boarded my dog before and had less than great experiences. Louise sent me updates everyday. I received more communication and pics of my dog than I ever got with boarding. Juno was finishing up a round of medicine and Louise made sure it was taken every day. She was taken on walks every day and loved on. When you meet Louise, you will see her love for animals instantly! I couldn't have left Juno in better hands and rest assured, Louise will be my go to sitter! I was so thankful to have her in a warm, happy, loving home while I was gone! Five stars? More like ten stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Was so great squeezing us in last minute, went right over and let the dogs out. They had a blast with her, and she even messaged to get a towel to wipe their paws since it was wet out! Thank you!!!

About: I have taken care of all size and breed of dog. I’ve had pets all my life! I have a passion for animals. I would love to be able to give your pet(s) the love and care they need while you’re away ❤️ I work at a school. I can do before 8am and after 4pm Monday-Friday Weekends I’m free unless blacked out on my calendar. Summer months: my schedule opens up more. I am not afraid of any pet and I am very knowledgeable when it comes to animals but you know your pet best! I’m happy to accommodate any rules you have for your babies.
