1. Michelle R.

“Second time I've booked Michelle, and I've really enjoyed her services so far. My schedule is starting to get busier lately and it has been amazing to have someone to take care of Enzo while I've been at work. Michelle is very professional and seems to know a great deal about dogs. I feel comfortable and confident having her go to my apartment and dog-sit. I will most likely continue to use her service as long as my schedule continues to change. Than you Michelle! Enoz and I have really appreciated your help!”

5. Jacquelyn P.

“Jacquelyn took care of our two dogs when we needed weekend help on short notice. She sent me photos and continual updates throughout the day, let me know when she was on the way, gave extra care to our senior dog and treated them both like her own. She was kind, thorough and caring, going above and beyond. We’ll absolutely be using her again!”




6. Faith B.
“I cant say enough good things about Faith we have worked in the companion pet industry together for quite sometime. Faith is caring, empathetic, knowledgeable and knows what she is doing when it comes to animals. Faith will always treat every like they were her own. Faith is a great problem solver, she is quick on her feet, and not to mention she is an all around honest person.... she is a GOOD person!! I would hands down trust her with all of my dogs and that says alot cause I would never trust anyone with my dogs!!! Faith is also a very skilled dog trainer!! ~Keecia~”




7. Mary A.

“Mary was outstanding with drop in visits for our kitty. He can be shy but Mary knows how to work with animals and made him and us feel instantly comfortable. Mary was prompt, communicative, diligent and caring. She provided detailed messages, wonderful photos, and the peace of mind that our kitty was in great hands. Thanks again Mary!”


8. Karissa C.
About: Hi I’m Karissa! I’m a passionate pet lover and have been dog & cat sitting for many years, having at least 14 years of experience. I love being around animals of all types and can provide whatever care they may need from overnight stays to daily walks. I grew up around my family dogs and over the years have watched, walked, and cared for my neighbors and friends dogs when needed. I have been around and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I work full time, however I am able to accommodate walks, visits, or overnight stays with my work hours. I am typically available all afternoons and evenings in addition to some mornings depending on the day! I understand that pets are not a one size fits all and with that being said, their needs may vary from one another. Whether they’re a puppy with high energy or a homebody, I am here to accommodate their needs and wants and to make them feel as comfortable as I can for the time I’m there.


9. Megan W.

“I was overwhelmed with a new 6 month old puppy and was exhausted! My Vet suggested I try Rover to find a pet sitter. I was exhausted. So I connected with Megan and asked for "HELP" Within 10 minutes she relied "I can help." So we did a meet & greet with my dog Cedella at my cabin. The next afternoon I was off to a music gig for 7 hours...and kenneled my dog. Megan arrived at @ my cabin, as discussed, and handeled my puppy very professionally. I had no worries and enjoyed my performance that night. Thank you Megan, I look forward to having you take care of Cedella again soon. GG 🐾”


10. Gabriella F.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, I’ve had multiple breads and sizes of dog. I’ve seen some of them being born and I’ve taken care since that little and feed them with milk bottles and everything. I’ve also had a cat in my adult life, so I’ve had some experience, but mostly with dogs. I’ve worked in a luxury resort in Aspen for 5 months doing dog walking and pet sitting for the most various breeds. And I’ve been doing on my own dog walking and pet sitting for the past 3 months. I love all the puppies! I work full time in Aspen (8 hours - 5days) so I’m available always before or after work. I don’t travel much and I’m always at home if not working. I have a car so I can go anywhere and I live close by Willits, close to everything. I have a fenced yard with a huge land and I live by myself so they have lots of space and are in a safe environment.


11. Abigail W.
“Abigail was a delight to have pet-sit my 11-year-old pup, Chloe. To start, she was very communicative with her availability and asked great questions to make sure Chloe got the care she deserved. She always showed up and you can really tell she cares about the animals. On the plus side, Chloe LOVED Abigail, she would get so excited knowing she got to spend time with her and go on walks. I would recommend Abigail 100 times!”

15. Calvin U.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and years of caring for a variety of breeds since moving to the valley. I’m skilled at handling multiple dogs at once, including those with different temperaments, ensuring each one receives the care and attention they need. I have a very flexible schedule and I am able to travel to provide my services. With some notice I can be available for anything you need! I have one gray tabby cat who is a little timid with dogs at first but warms up quickly and has made friends with several dogs in the past. We are able to separate her in another room if needed. She is not great with other cats but as stated before we can separate if and when needed to ensure comfort and safety for everyone involved! I professionally care for your home property and pets, handling tasks like plant care, mail collection, bird feeders, snow clearing, feeding and medications if necessary, As well as any other duties during your absence. With experience overseeing properties for extended periods, I ensure all needs are met with direct and frequent communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your home and your pets are in trusted hands!
