“First time with Jenn and she did not dissapoint!! She took over 20 pics of our Cassius and the pics were amazing!! He was happy to see her and she was very thorough with her details during her drop in. We'll definately contact her again when needed!”

“We booked Abigail and Ian last minute to let Pancho out, and they were amazing! They responded quickly, were super friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable trusting them to come into our home. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Jolie has been super helpful. She loves animals and cares about them. She also respects and meets pet owners' needs. I couldn’t be happier with booking her. She is taking care of my babies, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.”

“Ann made my boyfriend and I feel at ease with being away from her. Ann sent amazing updates about our little pup with every little detail that we loved! Will definitely ask Ann to watch our little girl in the future :)”

“Maggie is the absolute BEST. She treats my cat like her own and really goes above and beyond caring for her. I have absolutely no hesitation about leaving my cat in her care! Maggie’s been a game changer for us both. Thank you, Maggie!!”

“Tara was so kind and caring towards my golden retriever pup. She’s super knowledgeable about puppy training and I cant wait to work with her again! Thank you so much, Tara!”

“Grace did an amazing job with our kitties, she sent pictures and updates everyday which we really appreciated while out of town. One of our cats who is usually very shy/timid loved Grace immediately! We also had cats who were still being introduced and needed to be kept separate while we were away, Grace made sure to give everyone plenty of attention while keeping them safe in their own spaces. I would absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a cat sitter, and we will definitely consider rebooking with her in the future!”

“Communication with Annmarie was easy and clear and her updates were very appreciated. My cat and dog clearly had a nice time with her. Would definitely book with her again.”

“Emily was prompt with all her visits and easy to communicate with. My cat is a little shy at first but Emily got her to warm up quickly. She provided photos and updates on all the visit cards so I knew everything was okay.”

About: Been a cat lover forever, pet sat my way through college. I'll do drop in visits, play with, and clean up after your pets, always happy to meet new fur babies. I'm working full time, but with a flexible schedule, so I can add stops to my routes as needed. Happy to discuss details in person, or over a call. I'm located around the capitol, and can always work something out to accommodate. I have two kitties that I love and dote on. My partner jokes that I take better care of them than I do for myself, but they deserve the effort. For stays with a single stop a day, I'll play with your pets, make sure they get their food, clean water, and clean litter.
“Bob took care of my little bundle of joy, Cheeti, a 17 years young cat. I appreciated many things. Bob was punctual which was very important to me since Cheeti requires meds. He also sent multiple updates and pictures. This made a big difference since I could see that my baby was well taken care of and as a result I was able to thoroughly enjoy my time away. Cheeti and I give Bob 5 gigantic shining stars!”

About: I’ve owned a cat for the last five years and have looked after friend’s cats and dogs many times over the years. I grew up with a cocker spaniel and a toy poodle and have looked after dogs of all sizes. I’m currently working full-time, so I’m mostly available in the mornings before work, evenings after work, or some evenings. I love to stay active and am eager to spend more time with animals. I am happy to come to your home to feed and walk (if needed) your pets while you are on trips or away for whatever reason.
“I was nervous about using Rover, but Seanna made it a great experience. She provided thorough updates and photos of my shy cat Ella and gave her a lot of attention. I really appreciate her communication and professionalism!”

About: I don’t have any experience with senior animals but I am eager to learn more about the care that they need! I have three cats so I know how to care for animals with different personalities! I am a respite care provider part time, but I always have time for furry friends. I make room in my schedule to work for Rover and engage with other animals besides my own! I would prefer for care to be provided in your house, but I also have a one bedroom apartment with plenty of room for cats to roam (including s screened in porch to bird watch) and lots of toys! I also have a large backyard for dogs to run around and play fetch!
“Maddie and Anna were awesome with our puppy while we were away and we would highly recommended them to anyone! We will absolutely be using them in the future, and thank them for being so great with our girl!”
