Carson is awesome with our big dogs! They really put in the time to get to know the dogs. It has been a real bonus for us to have them come while I'm laid up with a broken ankle.

We've used Madeline a couple times now to pop in and check on our cats. Her reports are always detailed and she always tries to get pictures (when they decide to come out of hiding). Definitely recommend!

My cat really enjoyed her visits. She always came on time, so I never needed to worry about that. My cat continues to be in good spirits after her visit.

Velvet took fantastic care of my two cats! She went the extra mile and make sure to give them some "outdoor" time (safely, through a screened window) for a few minutes each day - something I don't even do! Ha! She really impressed me by taking detailed notes during her informational visit, and she asked great follow-up questions too. She followed instructions exactly and sent great pictures of the kitties on the Rover card each day, which my daughter greatly appreciated - they are my daughters emotional support kitties, and they are very precious to us! Thank you Velvet for your professional and compassionate service!

Anne is an incredible pet lover. She treats all pets like they are people and gives them all of her attention and care. She is responsible and hard working. As a nurse she is well versed in human health needs which carries over to her ability to care for pets. Anne has spent a great deal of time training her own two dogs and they are two of the most well behaved animals I have seen in a very long time. I have had Anne watch my pet on a number of occasions and been very pleased with the care that they got. They looked very happy upon our return.

Jamie had cared for my cats twice and has done a great job. She makes sure everyone gets lots of snuggles and lets me know right away if any issues come up. I completely trust her in my home and with my fur babies, and I’ve already booked her again!

Elena was exactly what we needed. For a very simple drop in with not a whole lot of notice, and in the middle of a thunderstorm, she did 100% perfectly. Absolutely hope to get her back with our little pup again.

My husband and I, on multiple occasions, have trusted Kristina with the care of our two beagle boys while we have been away on trips. She has been kind, caring, and a diligent caretaker and we will use her in the future as well. The love she has for animals goes above and beyond as I know she fostered animals for years (even a few that only had a short time to live OR were bringing life into this word) Highly recommend!

About: I look forward to meeting your pets!!! I have been the primary caretaker for 5 dogs, 3 for my family, and currently 2 of my own. I can teach basic commands like sit, stay, and paw. I have also taught one of my dogs to use the Tik Tok speech buttons so he can let us know when he’s hungry or wants to go outside. I have experience taking care of one large senior dog. Mostly consisting of mixing burgers in her food and using a sling made of towels to help her outside. I feed my dogs separately in the morning and evening because they’re territorial. I walk them for 20 minutes in the morning, afternoon, and evening and play tug of war with them throughout the day to wear them out. I understand every dog is different based on their breed and personality and care for them accordingly. I do everything I can to make dogs feel safe, loved, and stimulated. I’ll play when they want to play but I try to keep their eating and potty breaks scheduled. Also many pets and cuddling throughout the day.

Karen for as long as I know her has been the kindest person I know when it comes to all animals! I have seen her take wonderful care of her family dog and when introduced to all my family dogs, she treats them all with the same love. They all bring a clear happiness to her and she is extremely responsible about all the doggos in her life and around her. She’s an amazing choice for a dog sitter!

Karen checked in on & fed my 2 cats beguile we were away for a weekend vacation. In addition to keeping an eye on my cats, I felt safer knowing she was checking in on my house daily while we were gone. I wouldn’t hesitate having her watch over things again. It’s nice to find someone reliable & trustworthy to help out when your away.

Marilyn has dog sat for our large pitbull several times. She is a responsible sitter who gives our dog a ton of attention and outdoor time. I appreciate the updates that she sends while we are away, and she always leaves our home cleaner than she found it. Our dog can be stubborn, but she has a ton of patience with him. She has also administered his medicine when needed. Five stars.

This was our first time using a pet sitter, and Valerie was amazing! She dropped in on our elderly cat while we were on vacation, fed her and administered medication, and sent us pictures every day. We were so grateful to know our pet was in good hands!
