“We were so at ease knowing Elizabeth was taking care of our cat while we were on vacation. Our cat loved playing with her. Elizabeth sent such detailed updates as well.”
“Karla was excellent with my 18yo baby cat. She listened to him and was able to give him what he needed (which was lots of water). I would recommend her to anyone!”
“This was my first time using Rover and was blown away by Crystal. The daily messages and pictures were everything to me, and she even left me a couple of framed pictures of my cats which were a delightful surprise. Crystal is wonderful, and I look forward to utilizing her again in the future!”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for 20 years, from puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medication, managing feeding schedules, and handling dogs of all sizes (I currently accept 16-100+ lbs). I understand that your pet is family, and I provide the same attentive, loving care I'd want for my own animals. You'll receive photo updates throughout the day so you can see your pet is happy and well-cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks and drop-in visits, including last-minute requests. As a new sitter building my client base, I'm offering special introductory rates for early clients. I'm available throughout Warren and surrounding areas for daily dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting during weekdays, weekends, holidays, and vacations. For house sitting, I stay at your home to maintain your pet's familiar routine and environment. I follow your specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I keep your home secure by bringing in mail, alternating lights, and watering plants as needed. For dog walking, I use secure leashes and harnesses, and I'm mindful of your dog's comfort level around other animals and people. Safety is always my top priority—I stay alert to surroundings and weather conditions during every walk.
About: I've been taking care of animals since we got our pups Buffy and Willow when I was 10 years old. They were a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix, so cute! Since then I have owed 3 Guinea pigs (Cairo, Jupiter and Poppy) and a cat (Meshka). I'm thankful that I have a low-maintenance pet like Meshka because I work full time at my 9-5. I do have cameras in my house so I can keep an eye on Meshka thought-out the day. I remember when I got him as a 2 month old I would always go home during my lunch breaks to check up on him for the first 6 months that I had him. When I leave for work I make sure not to leave anything hazardous out. I usually keep the bathroom and kitchen doors closed so Meshka doesn't get into those rooms while I'm away

“Janice is a responsible pet sitter. She will check in and check out for a 30 minute visit. When I requested she say an hour and sit just to have a presence with my kitty she followed the request. I was very grateful for her presence with my cat Shiva. My neighbor used to come over when she lived here and bring a newspaper and just sit and be present for Shiva for an hour. I was grateful that Janice followed that request. I would recommend Janice as a pet sitter, for she is very receptive and open to communication. In any relationship, that’s what’s important. Thank you Janice for watching Shiva and being a responsible pet sitter. Grateful Joan and Shiva”

Crystal is an AMAZING cat-sitter — five stars honestly isn’t enough!! From the very beginning she was super quick to respond and so easy to communicate with. Every single day she sent the best detailed updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She truly went above and beyond — not only did she manage our cat’s diabetic care perfectly (special food and insulin shots handled flawlessly!), but she even left us a framed photo of our cat. Who does that?! 🥹 When we got home, we could tell our cat genuinely missed Crystal — which says everything. We feel so lucky to have found her and would book her again in a heartbeat!
Mikey took excellent care of my shy senior kitty while I was away for 2 weeks and it was such a relief to know that Nona was in such good hands. Nona took to Mikey right away, which was very unusual as it typically takes her awhile to warm up to new people! The pictures from Mikey warmed my heart as I could see that my sweet, cuddly girl was getting lots and lots of love. ❤️ Mikey also stayed longer on some days for extra cuddles. 🥰 I returned from my trip to a happy, relaxed kitty! I will definitely book Mikey again!
Kelly is great with my cats. They were COVID kittens, so they weren’t as socialized as well as I would’ve liked as kittens and one can be particularly shy, but Kelly managed to charm him out of his shell in just a day. Now, with repeat bookings, they both come out for love and belly rubs
