We have 3 dogs and 3 cats and were traveling for 10 days. CJ took amazing care of our zoo and communicated with us daily about their antics and how they were doing, complete with pictures. We highly recommend her and will definitely book her for our next trip.

Katy was fantastic! She was so communicative and was the best caretaker of our dog Josie. She took our directions very considerately and keep us informed daily over the week she watched our dog. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat.

Reba was truly the best pet sitter we could have ever asked for! She watched our animals overnight for four nights while we were out of state over the holidays. She is incredible and went above and beyond in every way. Im naturally anxious when leaving our animals, but Reba quickly calmed any nerves I had. She sent updates throughout the day with multiple photos/videos attached each time. It was noticeable that all of our animals absolutely loved her and each one got more than enough individual play time/attention. We couldn’t recommend Reba enough and feel so fortunate to have had her taking care of our babies! 😊

About: I have experience working as a kennel technician at a local animal hospital and have been caring for my pets for several years. I have also taken classes on pet care and how to work with different types of animals. I am currently working a part-time job, but i am able to accommodate what is best for you. Since I have a very flexible schedule I am open for just about everything! I have experience with kenneling dogs while also being on a timely feeding time and hourly walks, and play times. I care for my pets by crating and having scheduled feeding times along with plenty of fenced-in outdoor time!

We had the pleasure of having Heather take care of our sweet golden at the last minute on a holiday weekend while attending a family funeral. I was a nervous wreck to leave my girl with someone strange but Heather took the leash and handled everything professionally. Her communication (pics included) put me at ease. She was great - went above and beyond - and if I lived in that beautiful area I would hire her often and feel right at ease.

I was kind of in between a rock and a hard place.. I had to go out of town in a week, and didn’t want to leave my dog in a kennel again.. he has special needs and kennels have too many dogs to pay special attention to him so I tried Rover... My request for assistance was accepted right away. I was always able to reach the sitters and they sent me updates and statuses ... definitely recommend Cheyannes assistance if you need a sitter

I currently have open availability for whatever need may arise or for anything you may need I would care for your babies as I would for mine with all the love and attention they could possibly want. They would either be in a fenced in yard or on a leash for outside time and monitored while they are inside with plenty of snuggles and attention.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. My parents always said you want it, you take care of it. My love for animals started from a young age with my first kitty Indie, and my dog Coco. I’ve had multiple animals over the years ranging in size and age. I have house sit for Family and friends and love the fuzzy creatures company! I’m currently enrolled in Community college, during the day and work part-time at night. The weekends Would be the best but I can still house sit on the weekdays depending on the needs of the pet and owner! Our two doggies Bear and Blue spend most of their time inside, and in our big backyard playing with the ball. I am capable of ensuring the animals are played with, fed, and taken out! With my dogs I usually feed them separately incase if food aggression, but I can follow any rules that pet owners need for their furry friends.

About: I have lived with animals my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I have always loved animals and I have taken care of them as if they were my bestest friend. Spending time with animals makes my day and I have never met a pet that hasn’t loved me! I am in college part time. When I come home the first thing I do is walk my dogs and feed my cats. I make sure all of my animals have everything that they need. My schedule is pretty open for the most, and I always find time to take care of pets. The first thing I would do with your pet or pets is make sure they’re comfortable with me, and that they are happy. Afterwards, I would make sure they are fed properly and have plenty of water. I would try to play with them, and make them as happy as possible.
