“I cannot say enough about Amanda’s exceptional care for my four cats. Over the years, I’ve hired many pet sitters, and she is by far the best I’ve ever had. Her attentiveness and compassion made it so much easier for me to be away, giving me true peace of mind. Not only did she provide outstanding care for my cats, but she also went above and beyond by feeding the stray animals who rely on me for daily meals, as well as keeping my backyard squirrels and birds well-fed. She even collected my mail and kept in regular contact with updates, reassuring words, and adorable photos. Amanda is simply the BEST—reliable, thoughtful, and truly devoted. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
About: From the day I was born I have had an animal, several dogs, fostered cats my vet tech sister would bring home, gerbils, fish, turtles; I consider the connection with an animal priceless. I currently have a 3 year old chocolate lab we got for our daughter and then a tuxedo kitty crossed our paths and needed a home; so it’s the been awesome watching them evolve and I’ve been vigilant to make sure they became fast friends but still with fair time of love! I am very flexible on time and the heat does not deter me from making sure the exercise and visit happens; I pay attention to the detail of timing. Pets are family, that’s how I treat mine and would expect nothing but giving that to anyone entrusting me with their family member as well.
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!
“Cydney was wonderful and a huge relief to our family as we were scrambling to find a last minute carer for our socially needy cat over a three day weekend! She consistently communicated with us with updates, including photos that showed us how relaxed our cat was with her presence during visits. We were very lucky to be able to book with someone who understood our human & cat needs during our time apart. Highly recommend :)”
“Awesome to work with! Very dependable and a great communicator. So glad she was able to drop in and check in on our kitties while we were away. Would easily rebook with again! Thanks so much, Jessica!”
“Kelsie did great with my dog! Aspen loved connecting with her during our meet and greet. Kelsie was very kind and professional. I will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis.”
“Was very willing to help us with our puppy and took him for a nice long walk! He looked so happy in the picture that was sent! Very efficient with communication too! Thank you!”
“This was the first time I used Rover and was quite a nervous mother of my cat. I met with Elly and she was very professional and during the meet and greet she took notes the whole time. Was very impressed the attention to detail and the comfort she provided. I knew she was going to take care of my kitten as I would. I booked for that weekend and then a mandatory work event came up. But instead of cancelling she offered her fiancé as an option. I couldn't ask for more from an individual. Everything was how I left it and my kitten was well cared for. If you are ever in need of care Elly is your gal!!! Lisa”
About: I’ve always had animals big or small. I know the feeling of a set schedule. So I’d be so happy to be there for your animals set schedules. I have time in my schedule to hangout with your animals. I can do anything from stopping by to let them out or feed them. Walking and getting exercise would be fun with an animal. My dogs love outside, laying down, playing or going for walks. I can do those for your animals or just hanging inside relaxing and keeping them company.
About: I have helped to take care of a variety of personalities of family pets over time. Between an elderly dog who needed help with basic mobility, medication, and anxiety management, to a long-term shelter adoption who need extra attention with socialization and training, to newly trained puppies, I've worked with a variety of animals. I work free lance and I am on my own schedule to set work. I have all the time to dedicate to your fluffy family members. I approach every animal like I approach people: with individual humility and by getting to know them. Every animal is unique and deserves the best, individualized care that I can provide. I approach with love and affection and let the animal inform the relationship from there.
