“Thank you again, Madison! Another week of peace and mind knowing that Ruby got time with you while we were away. Thank you for the daily pictures and recaps. Much appreciated.”


“Andrea was wonderful! She had excellent communication and checked in every time on schedule. She also asked questions to make sure Charlie’s care exceeded expectations! I will definitely be keeping her in mind for the future!”


“Shannon was an amazing choice for a puppy visit! She kindly took care of my high energy 10 week old puppy for 30 min when I had to go to the office. She was very responsive and followed all instructions. Wrigley was lucky to have her help!”



“Jen is my go-to cat sitter and I can’t say enough good words about her! I booked her for cat sitting (again) before checking her schedule. She was super kind to accept my request although she wasn’t planning to do any sitting during the time. She sent me photos, videos, and notes every day and I always enjoy chatting with her and getting updates about my kitties. My kitties aren’t the easiest to deal with but they both love Jen and Jen takes such good care of them.”


“We’ve had Elysse visit with our cats a few times. We like that even the reclusive one likes to hang out with her. And she’s good at giving the other cat his meds. Leaving senior cats makes me nervous but the reports and pics Elysse sends really help.”


“Outstanding care for our cat and dog. We previously used boarding, but tried Rover and couldn't be happier. Rebekah is amazing and our pets are more relaxed and happier.”


About: I am a lifelong lover of dogs, and currently own an almost 2-year-old mini bernedoodle. I have current experience with walking and caring for dogs during typical work hours (9-5). I take time to build trust not only with your pet, but also with you. I take the time to learn your pup’s unique personality and needs. I’m looking forward to caring for your pup! I currently work part-time and work in the late afternoons/evenings. This allows for plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs! I’m available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I treat your pet like my own, treating them like family and ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, and provide plenty of time for exercise, playtime, and cuddles! Your space will remain tidy and secure under my care. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities!

“Nicole is a wonderful dog walker. You can tell she really cares about your pet. She is also very reliable - always shows up and is very communicative via the app. Shelby enjoyed her walks/runs with Nicole!”


“The dogs loved Daniel and he did so well with them!”


“Al was the perfect sitter for my cat Chip while I was away for 2 weeks! He was so thoughtful and detail oriented. My cat hates strangers but loved Al, and the fact that he got treats and was played with every single day. Thanks Al!”


“Very thorough and professional for my pup’s check in / walk! Thank you thank you thank you! Would highly recommend to others and 110% rebook when needed. Greatly appreciate it!”


“Richard was consistent, communicative, and friendly. I can tell he really loves animals and always thought my cat was in good hands!!”

“Zoey communicates proactively and is well organized and takes her responsibilities seriously. She clearly loves pet animals. I would recommend her without reservation.”


“Fantastic - had to book last minute while I was on a trip abroad. She followed my care instructions perfectly, and was so detailed with her drop-in notes - I love it and it really put my mind at ease. I would instantly book again.”


“Juli is easy to work with, great communicator & on top of all things high-energy puppy (leash resistance, unauthorized snacking, reactive behaviors etc). Appreciate her time with my dog Pep!”



“We were away for 8 days, Robert came to drop-in visit our cat boy Suga twice a day with extra care. In fact, we haven’t been separated with our Suga for so long, as a mom, I was really worried, as our Suga was a very clingy and not as independent as most other cats. My first option was sending him to a boarding facility, but we eventually decided to go with the drop-in Visit option. It turned out to be the best choice. Robert was so friendly, responsible, reliable, patient, and of course, so experienced. It was extremely easy to communicate with him. He was super experienced dealing with cats. Our Suga started to roll over his belly in front of Robert on the 1st day. Robert also helped clean Suga’s butt when poo stained on it. It was such a pleasure to have Robert taking care our boy! Thank you so much!!!”


“This was the first time Sarah made drop in visits for my cats while I was on vacation. She was amazing, so attentive to my cats needs and she provided details on what she did and saw during each visit. I would highly recommend Sarah for your pets!”


“Angie was great! She took good care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She even managed to show up during snowy weather, which we truly appreciated. Angie was very easy to work with and communicated with us throughout the weekend for peace of mind. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter.”
