“She is amazing!! Other boarders would send us maybe one pic a day. We got a load of pics three times a day. She had everything only thing we had to bring was food and the pup. She understands animals and their behaviors. Would recommend her to EVERYONE!!”
“Teddy was taken care of very well for the week we were away. He clearly had a ton of fun playing and ate well. I really appreciated that Caitlin took the time to give him a bath and was really thoughtful and accommodating.”
“This family was wonderful and I’m so happy with how they took care of my furry family member. They kept me updated with messages and photos. Would definitely recommend Lori. This was my first time using Rover and having someone dog sit so I was a little nervous. From the second I met the family, all the nerves went away. They took such wonderful care of her!”
“We Love Bailey but the most important part is our dog loves her more. She gets so excited when we pull into Baileys and she sometimes even seems like she doesn’t know if she wants to leave. Bailey is super great and has been very flexible weather it be family emergency and we need someone to eat he her or a preplanned trip she is there.”
“Maria did such a fantastic job taking care of my cat Jackson while we were traveling over the Christmas holidays. She sent me photo and video updates twice a day, so I always knew Jackson was safe and happy. I highly recommend Maria for you & your pets needs. I will be hiring her again. Thank you again Maria for the peace of mind the whole time Jackson was in your care.”
“Shannon took great care of our 14 y.o. dog, Bella. This was Bella’s first time being cared for overnight outside of our home and Shannon was very accommodating to Bella’s individual characteristics. We were extremely happy with the care Bella received at Shannon’s home.”
“Jemily took care of our dog, Mandy, when we were in Ontario for a family reunion. We appreciated the nightly pics she sent of Mandy, and drop off and pick up was easy. We had a construction-related backup on the Blue Water Bridge on the way over from Michigan, and so we were quite late to drop our dog off, but Jemily was very communicative and reassured us that all was well. Our sense is that Mandy was comfortable there and enjoyed her time there. We would be happy to have Jemily watch her again if the opportunity arises in the future. Thanks Jemily and family!”
“The BEST pet sitter!! She takes the best care of my fur baby even with his tummy issues & fussy eating & makes me feel so comfortable leaving him there. He’s always so happy when we get there and when I pick him up I can tell he’s had a blast playing with her pups!! 10/10 recommend!!”
About: I’m 23 years old and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve cared for my own pets since I was young and have also helped neighbors with their pets when needed. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I always make sure pets feel loved and cared for. Animals naturally trust me, and I treat every pet like family—gentle, patient, and full of love. I’m currently not working and only taking a few classes online, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most weekdays and weekends for boarding, walks, or drop-ins. Your pet will get lots of love, attention, and play throughout the day. I have a fenced yard, one sweet dog, and three friendly cats. Your pet will be in a safe and welcoming home with animal companions and plenty of love. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions, crate if needed, and make sure your fur baby feels comfortable and cared for.
