Rachel was great and made me comfortable leaving my cats for a week. She sent me pictures and videos like I asked for and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cats :) Rachel kept an eye on heat warnings in the area and adjusted my AC and fan accordingly & recognized when the cats would enjoy some open-window fresh air which I really appreciated. I would definitely ask Rachel to cat sit again in the future!

Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in

Natasha did a great job with our kitties! This was our first time using the Rover app and we were a little nervous about it, but Natasha sent us updates that put us at the ease (including letting us know when we had packages delivered) and we came home to happy kitties. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter.

My pup loved her time with Josie! I appreciated how willing Josie was to come and do a meet-and-greet the day before our scheduled drop-in visit. Josie was mindful of the weather and met my pup’s need to go outside, while protecting her from the heat. I got a detailed report of their time together, with adorable pictures and video! We will definitely reach out again when we have the need. ?

About: I have had the opportunity to care for young puppies and elderly dogs over the last three years. Both ends of the spectrum require different levels of care, but more importantly, it requires love and patience. I am able to go for as many walks as needed, administer pain and behavioral medications, or just snuggle on the couch. I would be able to stop by during my lunch break around 1PM, and then after 5PM. All animals are on different schedules, but my flexibility hopefully will mesh with yours! I would first like to meet your animal before officially becoming their sitter. I want them to become acclimated with me and see if we would respond well to each other, especially with me entering into their home. For dogs, I can administer medications, go on walks, observe back yard play (if applicable) and provide them with all the food and treats they’re allowed. For cats, I can scoop and deeply clean litter, brush and maintain their fur if needed, and again, provide all the food and treats! Both also deserve some indoor play time as well, so more then happy to participate in play time

I was so glad I had Maddie watching my cats while I was gone. She kept me updated with photos and any other little info that she thought would be helpful for me to know while I was gone. It put me at ease to know my cats had her checking on them consistently and showing them love.

Deb was wonderful in caring for our Zoey, like always. She is extremely accommodating and flexible. Our place is always spotless when we come home and she always goes above and beyond in caring for Zoey. The adorable pictures she sends are very much appreciated while we're away, and we know that Zoey is in the best hands while we're gone, which gives us piece of mind. Deb is our go-to pet sitter, and we can't recommend her enough.
