“Kayla was wonderful with our 3 pugs. It was obvious from our meet and greet that she is great with animals. Our babies took to her immediately. While we were gone, she sent pictures regularly, which is so important to us when we are away from them. We returned to a clean house and yard and to fur babies that were excited to see us but were not anxious or stressed at all, which means they got plenty of attention while we were away. We've already booked with her again and would 100% recommend her to others.”

“Sidney was absolutely amazing!! It was our first time using Rover and she put us at ease the moment we met for a little meet-and-greet with our crew. She sent videos and pictures everyday which we absolutely loved. We had two dogs and a cat, all with their own special quirks, and Sidney was so great with all three. Our vacation was stress-free knowing she was there and she left the house in perfect order for when we returned. We can’t recommend her enough (in fact, we bragged about her to the family our entire trip 😂) and will absolutely be booking her again.”

About: I own my own work from home business and have the freedom to set my own schedule and care for pets as needed. Flexibility is important in a sitter. I can accommodate most requests if given at least a day’s notice. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to talk further. I do not offer care in my home as I am limited on space and have my own pets. I will take excellent care of your pets and make sure they need for nothing.

“Kaleb was awesome! He stayed at my house and took great care of my two dogs while I was gone. He kept me updated with texts and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Both of my pups loved him (and one of them can be a little picky with new people). I came home to two happy dogs and a house just how I left it. It was clear they got plenty of love, attention, and their usual routine. I’m so glad I found someone I can trust, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”
