“Kate has been fantastic to us and our cat Baxter! We have never left him with anyone before and when we unexpectedly needed to leave town she gave us such peace of mind. She made our cat comfortable, sent us photos and updates every day, and took fabulous care of our cat and home! We would absolutely jump at the chance to have her watch our cat again. Thanks again Kate :)”

“The dictionary defines the word remarkable as, worthy of being or likely to be noticed especially as being uncommon or extraordinary. However Willow and I define it as Katherine. She is good with keeping you updated, time management of walk to playtime, and her pictures of your pup will leave you with a smile!!”

“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”

“Brian did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were away. He was prompt with check ins and had fantastic communication with us. He spent extra time making sure he laid eyes on our shy kitty every single visit too.”

“Taylor did great with our slightly sassy cat. She did all that was requested, was quick to respond, and asked good questions about the cat’s needs and habits. Would recommend!”

“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”

“Molly did an awesome job watching Ivy! She was very communicative, reliable, and clearly an animal lover. Looking forward to having her back in the future for more drop ins ?”

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!

“Katie is truly a star sitter! We scheduled 3 drop-in visits for our 5 year old golden retriever and they went off without a hitch. Katie followed all our care instructions, took pictures and gave updates, and even took him on a walk and brought in some packages on the front porch to avoid them getting rained on. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Holly Jean was wonderful! She sent me detailed updates about how her drop in visit went. She followed all my instructions perfectly. She was communicative during the booking process and did not hesitate to reach out if she had any further questions. I felt like my cats were well cared for with her!”

About: Im a reliable and active animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs for family and friends and treat every pet like my own. I’m attentive to each animals needs whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, or giving them company. I’m a nurse looking to hangout with some furry friends and get some extra time outside. I’m a nurse working full time looking to find a way to spend extra time outside. During the week I am available early in the mornings and in the evenings. I am available anytime during the weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will be treated like family. I have one three year old cat at home who is shy but friendly. I prioritize constant supervision, secure spaces, and clear communication with owners, including updates and photos. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities.
“Maelee is very detailed, thorough, communicative, and knowledgeable. She arrived on time for each drop in visit, kept us very informed each time, and made sure our kitties were taken care of before she left. Will absolutely hire again!”

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, worked at my local animal shelter, and own my own rescue pup. She has taught me the biggest lesson on care and compassion! I’ve cared for senior dogs and new puppies. I am very active and like to keep myself and my pets entertained! I am a school psychotherapist with a very flexible schedule and summers off :) I like to stay busy, so I try to take on fun side quests when possible! I have a fenced in backyard, I live in a very safe, pet-loving, neighborhood, and my own dog to keep your pets entertained! With my own pet in mind, I would not put either animal in an unsafe position.
“Sara was very communicative both before and during our trip, and took excellent care of our fur babies in our home. She sent along photos and gave updates on how they were acting each day, which gave us some peace of mind. Would hire Sara again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Leah is amazing!!! Communication is awesome and she’s beyond flexible!! Been booking with her continuously and couldn’t be happier with her service!!!”

“This was our first time using Rover & we were very pleased! Our pup can be a lot of work, but Suzanne took great care of her. Very kind. Attentive. Lots of pics, which put me @ ease being gone for the day :)”

“Lauren was a fantastic sitter for my two anxious cats. She took time to come over and meet us before I left & asked great questions to make sure she understood everything. I appreciated her photos & update and returned to 2 happy cats. Thank you Lauren!”

“Ty is so great with all of our different fur babies. I was so grateful for his help while we were away! From very timely check-ins, to great picture updates, and going above and beyond each day, Tyler was an important part to the success of our family vacation! Our dog, 3 cats, 2 pet rats, and a tank full of goldfish were in kind and thoughtful hands every day! Highly recommend!”

Katie was fantastic with our sweet Loki! He warmed up to her almost instantly, and she did a great job communicating with my partner and I the whole time we were gone. This was the first time Loki has not been watched by someone in our family, and under her watch he was totally fine! We will definitely be repeat clients :-)

We had a great experience with Beth! She took wonderful care of our senior cat, Apollo, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of our care instructions. The updates and photos gave us peace of mind, and we knew Apollo was in great hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!

We absolutely loved having her care for our puppy, Oliver! She was kind, reliable, and took such great care of him during her drop-in visits. The updates and photos always made our day, and it was clear that Oliver was happy and comfortable with her. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her!

Lauren was absolutely amazing with our dog and cats!! I couldn't recommend her enough! She consistently updated us when she visited with them, sent photos, and gave them lots of love and treats :)) I know they had a blast with her and I'll absolutely book her in the future for other trips ❤️

Megan took care of my cats while I was on vacation out of the country, and she was amazing. Kept me informed on what was going on with the cats, went above and beyond with their care, and gave them lots of cuddles and playtime. She’s awesome, will always recommend.
