Jess took care of my pup Leia while I was away for the day at a baseball game and sent me update photos each visit and some comments on how the visit went. Leia had a lot of fun. Will definitely use Jess again!

She is wonderful. So reliable, communicative, and caring. I had total peace of mind while I was away knowing she was caring for Maggieour cat. She got her to play everyday which I'm sure she loved. Everything was clean and tidy when we came back. Maggie was happy and healthy and at ease. Thank you so much Adora.

Joanne took care of our 3 pets during drop-in visits over a 3-day period. Joanne showed great care while feeding and interacting with Fiona (our 10 year old pit bull), Davlin (our 17 year old frail cat), as well as Moshie (our shy 13 year old cat). Joanne provided detailed information regarding her care for the individual needs of each of our pets during each visit. She also provided numerous photos of each animal while visiting. Prior to her drop-ins, Joanne came over for a Meet and Greet in order to go over details while visiting, as well as getting to meet our pets. In addition, Joanne kept us up to date with each interaction while visiting and any questions or concerns that she or we may have had during the visits. Without a doubt Joanne demonstrates a tremendous amount of care and professionalism in every aspect while working with us and caring for Fiona, Davlin and Moshie. I look forward to having Joanne care for our pets in the future, as well as highly recommend anyone who has a need for someone to care for their pets.

About: I have many years of experience in the vet field from my career. I’ve always known that I wanted to take care of animals in a certain way, but being hands on is the best form! I currently work part-time at a pet rehabilitation center and will soon be home full-time to help out around with other pets around my community. I have a fenced in yard and a very sweet fur baby who loves all people, toys, and things and will make friends right away.

Sarah was great at stopping by and caring for my two cats. I almost think to good, my cats didn't seem to miss me when I got back. Sarah sent photos and spent time with them so they didn't feel neglected. Sarah also went above and beyond by shoveling snow! It snowed while I was away and Sarah cleared the walk way and some of the driveway. Plus she also let the cats have some outdoor time in the snow (they are indoor/outdoor cats so it was good that they got some outdoor time while I was away so things seemed normal).

This was our second time with Steff caring for our two (very needy) sphynx cats and, once again, she was very attentive and professional. As other reviews have noted, Steff loves animals and she provided great care while maintaining frequent communication while we were on vacation. Steff sent lots of photos of the cats at play, which is always reassuring when you are thousands of miles away, and they clearly enjoy her company. We highly recommend Steff to take care of your pet or pets and we hope to use her next time we are away.

About: I have a big love for animals, especially dogs! I’ve had a dog, more specifically, a German Shepherd in my life since I was born. I recently moved back to Long Island from Arizona for college so I have a lot of free time lately! I would love to get to know your dog as I am very patient and loving toward animals ❤️ The extra money would be nice, but I’m really interested in getting to experience different types of personalities through the dogs that I will meet. I have watched my uncle’s German Shepherd for an extended period of time as well as my brother’s pitbull, my German Shepherd and also my miniature dachshund so I know what it’s like to have a full house! :) I hope you feel confident to choose me to watch your best friend I am currently finishing up my last semester of college as well providing services on Rover, so I have a lots of free time and very flexible hours :) I will take very good care of your furry friends, no matter what the task. Whether it be taking them for a walk, feeding them or absolutely anything else that they need! 😊

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiance Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have lots of experience with a variety of breeds and medical issues. In my past, I have pet sat for many of my neighbors and relatives and am always sure to treat them as if they were my own, giving them the care and comfort they deserve. I have tons of energy to chase your dog and play for days and yet a great love for those dogs who just like to lay down and be pet. Also, my background in gymnastics permits me to be great with large dogs, as I am quite strong. Let me know any concerns you have and special requirements that pertain to your dog. I am happy to fill all of his/her needs.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was twelve. My family and I have two beautiful dogs. I take care of everything they need. Also, I worked in a veterinary clinic so I have experience with grooming, bathing handling difficult animals, administering medication and whatever needs that your dog might have.
