Liv was great, all of her visits with our cat George were on time and well documented. She always left a note after every stop in and took plenty of pictures. We’d be very happy to have her back in the future and would recommend her highly.

Eric was fantastic to work with. He was professional, personable, and prompt in providing pictures and videos after he visited Opal. He made us feel comfortable, and built a relationship with our pet. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a trustworthy and considerate sitter on Rover.

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, feeding and playing with cats, feeding and playing with dogs, and feeding and playing with rabbits! I am a full-time teacher, so I have availability in the summer, weekends, and on school breaks. I can do drop in visits and/or walks! When I am going in to other’s homes, I am respectful of their space. I will make sure it is as clean as it was when I arrived.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and understand that every animal has unique needs and personalities. I currently have a 12-year-old Japanese Akita, a 13-year-old German Shepherd, and a young Highlander cat, giving me hands-on experience with both senior pets and energetic younger animals. Caring for my senior dogs has taught me the importance of patience, recognizing health concerns, maintaining routines, administering basic care, and adjusting exercise levels based on age and mobility. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, including large dogs, and I understand the importance of safe handling, positive interactions, and consistent care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, medication reminders, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos during every visit so you can have complete peace of mind. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. I care for my 12-year-old Japanese Akita, senior German Shepherd, and young Highlander cat every day, including feeding, walks, exercise, grooming, playtime, and monitoring their health and well-being. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, I can easily incorporate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care services into my weekly schedule while providing reliable and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and are kept safe at all times. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean and secure. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos during visits to give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and my philosophy is “the bigger, the better!” I have experience caring for big, medium and small dogs, cats, turtles, and other pets. And I give every animal I meet a personalized nickname! I’m currently working about 32 hours a week, with classes Wednesday nights for my Master’s program! I leave around 7AM for work and get back around 5PM. With my current schedule, I could do weekend pet care or pet care for those who don’t need as much attention during the day (ie. don’t need to go outside to use the bathroom). To keep your pets safe in your home, I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, medication and routines to the letter! I also have a dog at home, so I am very vigilant about keeping doors closed and locked so no pets escape. I am also down to send update photos and messages if wanted!!

About: I have been a cat owner since i was 10, and adore all animals! I volunteered at the MSPCA, where I adopted our family cat who lived to be 18, and took care of dogs of all ages and sizes-puppies too! I work remotely, and part time right now, so I can easily add pet care to my routine. I am looking forward to spending more time with furry friends! I am careful to follow any special instructions for your pet, as well as ensure any outside spaces are secure if your pup has one for playtime

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with senior cats who require daily medication, patience, and gentle attention. I’m very attentive to each cat’s needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also take pride in keeping litter boxes, feeding areas, and pet spaces clean and tidy.

Allyson was top notch! Our younger dog immediately warmed up to her when she visited before our trip, which is a rarity for our younger dog. We knew right then our dogs would be in great, caring hands for the week we were away. Our older dog has daily medicine he takes orally and Allyson was comfortable giving it to him. Allyson was reliable, a great communicator, and went above and beyond her responsibilities. Allyson has a warm, caring personality and was sensitive to our dogs' needs. We will definitely have her care for our dogs again!
