3. Wendy & William M.
“She was very kind and patient with us, even though we are not fluent in English. Everything went smoothly from the meet-and-greet to the key handover. Although it was only for two days, our cat seemed to warm up to her quickly. We really appreciated her care!”
4. Rebeckah D.
“Rebeckah is the sweetest pet sitter I have ever met! She made my first time using Rover so wonderful, and I look forward to the next time my kitties can have a play date with her. She was very attentive towards any special needs/care that our pets need. One of my boys is usually very afraid towards humans, but it seemed otherwise with the photos I got from Rebeckah :)”

“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her!

She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”

13. Trennedy K.
“Trennedy was awesome!!! Very responsible, easy to get in touch with and gave me great feedback on my dogs while I was away. She went above and beyond getting my older dog to eat his first few nights alone. She went the extra mile by bringing in my mail and feeding our fish too! Wonderful experience and will definitely be contacting her again in the near future. Thank you Trennedy, you’re a superstar.”
14. Kayla L.
“We were out for a few days, and Kayla stopped by three times to take care of our dog. She attended to all our requests and more, very friendly and easy to work with. She kept us updated throughout the process. I highly recommend Kayla to all my friends who need a pet sitter or just drop-ins.”
15. Julia M.
About: Currently, I have two cats. I've had a dog, but before that, I primarily had birds (parakeets), lizards (bearded dragons) and frogs (mostly bull frogs). I cat-sit on occassion for a friend and sibling. I also raise Monarch caterpillars in the summer and release the adults. I work full time outside the home but am home in the summer (teacher). I am available weekends and weekday evenings, with sufficient notice of weekday needs. I am usually available Friday evening through Sunday evening. I am looking to do drop-in pet care and dog boarding. I could board a small pet that resides in an enclosure in my home or a dog (or two dogs from the same household). Both my cats are comfortable with dogs but tend to keep to themselves. I have 2 children and 2 cats at home. It’s a one floor house. The yard is nice and big. I don’t have a fence but I do have a longer leash so the dogs can run a bit.
16. Mariela B.
“Mariella was sweet and very accommodating. We did not get to keep her long because she took a full time job, but would use her again ..”
17. Nicole C.
“Dogs really enjoy spending time with Nicole, she has been great with them.”
18. Grant W.
“Grant is an incredibly responsible and trustworthy young man. He has had dogs his entire life and they have been his very best friends. He is caring, gentle and loves any athletic activity -- he would be a great companion for any dog! You couldn't ask for anyone more reliable and good natured to care for your pet!”
19. Krissy K.
“Krissy is extremely responsive and has great communication. She has save us multiple times, watching our dogs very last minute when other sitters have had to cancel. She takes amazing care of our two pups and we’re grateful to work with her!”
20. Austin D.
“Austin checked in on my cat and even asked if he could give her more food because she seemed hungry.”
