“Kelsey took care of our boys and even cared for a momma cat and her kitten that was discovered in our backyard! She loves animals, is great with them, and it shows ☺️”
“Rosalia from day one of request had great communication and was so thankful for availability for last minute need. Came and checked on our cat and tried to get her to play even though our cat is very reluctant to. Definitely will use again hopefully.”
“Mia was AMAZING!!! I had a kitty with anxiety hiding and she was able to give him his medication and get him to relax. She went the extra mile to sit on the floor and watch him eat it. She also was concerned and that made me very happy. Mia is a wonderful, caring person and we will b using her every time I need a pet sitter.”
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow their routine while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’ll treat your pets with patience, care, and respect, and I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and updated while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I’ll work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine closely, while providing plenty of care, attention, and companionship. I’m respectful of your home and will always keep you updated during each visit.
About: I’ve been petsitting for my friends and neighbours since I was 12, including administering medication, cleaning messes, housekeeping, and most all other common tasks and chores. If there’s a task you need of me that I don’t have experience in, I’d be glad to learn. As of right now I’m still in school, but after graduation (end of May, roughly) I’ll be available nearly 24/7. It’ll be ideal for me not to be scheduled for boarding on Fridays, but I will, of course, if your schedule calls for it! I absolutely value the trust of my clients and the safety of their pets, and will always do everything I can for them to feel they can leave their home and the pets inside it safe and secure with me.
About: Though I am not well versed in special needs dogs, ones with anxiety I know far to well as my Bella suffers daily. Constant love and affection would be given to ensure your fur babies feel right at home as if you’ve never left. Hello I’m Melissa a newly FT stay at home mom of 2. I homeschool during the morning and have fun by mid afternoon so adding some visitors to my day would be my pleasure! Both my Bombay cat and Deer Chihuahua were rescued. I work with many rescues in the surrounding areas to make sure all strays brought home find their forever homes. I do live in a rental so I do request that they are potty trained! Both my cat and dog are fully house broke and getting up in the night for those midnight tinkle breaks are possible since my dog is a senior and needs to go too. I hope that gives you a little insight to my life and allows you to be comfortable in choosing me as your fur babies mini vaca destination. I have a fully fenced decent size back yard with cameras for lots of room to run and get their wiggles out or just explore and sunbathe. I have a large crate if they prefer some quiet time alone just request you bring their favorite bed or blanket so they have a piece of home to comfort them.

Mia was AMAZING!!! I had a kitty with anxiety hiding and she was able to give him his medication and get him to relax. She went the extra mile to sit on the floor and watch him eat it.

We used Heather as our regular Rover was not available and now I’m going to have to switch between the two every other time we need someone bc they are both so great! What I loved about Heather is that she figured stuff out on her own. We met once and went over everything but I said I would leave a print out and I went and forgot but she only messaged me once the 10 days we were gone to ask a question. She took initiative and if there’s one thing I love is when people take initiative. She also left me notes after each visit which I’m not used to getting so I enjoyed reading those. I came home to clean litter boxes, full water bowls, and six happy fur babies. Would highly recommend Heather!
Kaylee did an amazing job with my kitties and I don’t feel anxious about leaving them anymore so we will be able to go on a lot more trips in the future! She made sure they were fed and happy played with them a whole bunch and sent plenty of photos! I can’t recommend her enough

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
