“Dee was great with our kitty! She always included nice messages with photos of our fur baby which reassured us that our Stevie was in great hands. While normally shy, Stevie seemed very comfortable with Dee!”
“Monica was so efficient, timely, and very responsive. Our 2 cats typically aren't always the most social but they came right out when she was there which in our opinion says a lot. Would recommend.”
“Brianne is always such a compassionate sitter. She takes care of all the pets with intentionality and makes sure they all get attention in the way they need it. She's very attentive to changes and very communicative with us when things seem notable. I'd highly recommend her for any household needing quality care for their pets.”
“Welp Keerie did it again! She expertly cared for our two kitties while we were away, including giving them lots of love and attention and ensuring they had plenty of food and water and their litter box was clean. Keerie always communicates promptly and thoroughly and respects our home. I love being able to leave our fur babies in her capable hands and never have a worry at all.”
About: I have 6 years of hands-on experience walking and handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 1.5 years caring for dogs and cats. Prior to this I spent 3 years at a shelter specializing in abused pit bulls. I’m comfortable with high-energy, strong, and rescue dogs, and I also have work experience as a kennel technician caring for cats. Whatever their personality type or energy level, my goal is to make your pets feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own. Im currently in the processing of completing a 10 week pet grooming course that i attend Mon-Fri, 9-4. So, I will be available for house sitting on weekdays, 5 pm to 7:30 am. I can house sit and provide constant care on the weekends if needed. I can walk dogs or do check-ins any day of the week, however Mon-Fri i am only available in the early morning and also after 5pm. I will keep your pets' home environment, clean, safe and calm. For kitties, I can clean litter boxes, follow specific feeding/play routine or simply just be a calm caring presence. For dogs, I can also follow any feeding or enrichment routines you may have, nothing is too elaborate or complex! I have much experience caring for animals in need of highly specific care. I live an active lifestyle so i will have no problem wearing out your puppy or higher energy dog! I can do brisk walks or even runs. I also have a special place in my heart for older pups. I pay especially close attention if a dog is elderly or arthritic. I will never make them feel rushed or forced and I will let them set the pace for the day, depending on their mood and energy level.
“Took great care of my cat (Coco) and turtle (Myrtle). Even went to extra efforts to make sure Coco got her meds in a timely manner. I'll be hiring Nathan again in the near future!”
“Tabbi was awesome with the pet kids! She had a challenge and she conquered it! The dogs were so happy when she stopped in 3 times each day to walk water and feed them. She sent us pictures and a report card for every visit. We will definitely give Tabbi a call the next time we need a sitter for Sadie and Ranger!”
“Tasha is amazing!! She was so sweet and kind to deal with, trustworthy, even brought my packages in. Totally hope I can use her again in the future for checking in on my senior kitty!!”
“Katarina was amazing! She really cares about the pets she is watching. She was fantastic watching our kitten and senior kitty for an entire week. I loved receiving the photos after each check in and it looked like the kitties were having a blast. She made sure each cat was comfortable and received the care they needed. Thank you for being such a wonderful cat sitter!! It helped ease our nerves while being away for so long!”
“Rebekah was fantastic with my kitty Nyla. She is way more experienced than I am with cats, so it was awesome. She came to check on her 2-3 times per day, played with her, fed her & even turned on Cat TV for her. I got lots of notes each visit & pictures. I will for sure be using her in the future:)”
“Laura was great taking care of my shy guy! She even got him to play with his favorite toys! It was a huge sigh of relief to know that my fur baby was being taken care of while I was out of town!”
“Really appreciate Pat helping us on short notice! She was fantastic with our rather timid and shy cat. Pat allowed our Bella to set the pace for interaction. Very attentive and took such good care with her. She even brought in an unexpected package. Very warm and caring lady. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Extremely grateful for Morgan and her help with my boys. Even my shy boy came out to say hi to her! Loved the notes and pictures she included on the Rover cards. Additionally, she was very easy to communicate with and get in touch with. Will definitely be requesting her help again in the future!”
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”

Dee is fantastic. We have 2 “don’t like anyone except mom and dad” 14 yo cats. Dee was able to give them their daily pills which was HUGE and so important. She was able to pop over before she started to go over things. I felt extremely comfortable with her. Recommend her a million times over. Will defiantly ask her to help us next time. Thanks again Dee!
Brianne did an amazing job with my pets! I felt very good leaving them in her hands while I was on vacation. She sent great photos and updates while I was away and the kitties were clearly well taken care of while I was gone. She even did a good job with Sushi-- my more anxious cat.
Abby is kind, friendly and a great communicator. She watched our two cats over the holidays, and our cats loved her! Our finicky cat who normally hides from strangers for days was sitting in Abby’s lap within the first two days of our trip. She kept our place clean, and let us know if anything was wrong, or had any questions. We will absolutely book Abby again when we go out of town.
