This was my first time using Rover and McKenna was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of my kitties and sent pictures with every visit. She took extra time to cuddle with them which did my heart good. I would definitely hire her again, it was a great experience

Thank you so much for taking such good care of my puppy during the drop-in visit! I really appreciated the updates and photos, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was in good hands. My puppy seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got back. I would definitely recommend you and look forward to booking with you again!”

Tara was amazing !!! I have a hard time trusting people with my fur babies but upon meeting Tara I was immediately comfortable. She was so sweet , on time, and gave regular updates ! I insisted she didn’t have to clean the litter daily and she still did! I couldn’t recommend her more !!

Hannah was wonderful with my two cats. It was the first time I left them longer than a few days, and Hannah took wonderful care of them. They really liked her, even my shy anxious cat that doesn't like most people enjoyed her visits. She kept me well updated and I enjoyed the photos while I was away. Thank you Hannah for the excellent care and attention you provided. My girls loved you coming over to play with them!

About: I have been a dog lover for all my life and realize they require lots of love and attention each day. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own so you never have to worry while you're away. If your dog is more energetic and prefers running instead of walks, then I will certainly do that. Or, if your dog needs to go at a slower pace, I can do that too. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs and can administer pills and/or oral supplements. My availability is very flexible and I will try to make time even if it is short notice. I am very responsible so you can definitely count on me to keep your furry friend happy and safe when you're unable to be there with them. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to send a message or give me a call. Thank you!

About: I have experience with taking care of my own fur baby for 7 years. Besides her I have also taken in family pets whilst they went to vacation, as well as drop ins and checking their pets for the duration of two weeks. I was capable of teaching the pets under my care tricks and was always on top of everything being responsible, and making sure the fur babies got the attention they needed. I am also comfortable looking after feline (cat) pets as I have taken care of them with my boyfriends family during drop ins, and also freshwater aquarium pets as I have hosted them in my home for my cousins taking care of up to 6 in a tank. I am in college so I only attend school three days out of the week leaving all day of monday and friday, adding on I have a late class wednesday so I am available early on Wednesdays! I am also free on the weekends. So, I am able to check in with pets during my free time, and make sure to care for the fur babies. I can do afternoons for monday, friday, and the weekend and day time for wednesday! In my home I have one pet, my girl dog pearl who receives all the love she can get and is treated as a family member :) In my home I have a fenced yard, I have treats to provide, toys, and more. I also have a play penn in which pets can have space and play freely if wished to be crated. I will make sure to always give attention to the pets just as if they were my own babies.

About: I have grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life. I love animals so much. I currently only have one dog who i take care of but i also walk my neighbors dogs who cant. Everyday i wake up and immediately take my dog out and prepare her breakfast. After we have some play time and i take her on at least 3 walks throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard so i will be able to give them time to play in the backyard and also take them on multiple walks throughout the day! I also have a dog that loves to play!

About: My ability to bond with pets. I’ve always appreciated animals and understood their needs. I’m respectful and loving to them, curating a strong friendship of trust! I currently am a student and work part-time at my University! I have extra time on my hands during the rest of the week so being able to make some extra money and hang out with animals is the perfect match! I will be sure to take any necessary safety precautions: leashing when walking on street, closing doors, and blocking off hallways if needed. And if noted that the animal tends to run away or scare easily, I will be sure to be extra responsible.

About: I have personal experience with dogs/cats for 20 yrs., I’m also the neighbor that takes care of the family pet while on vacation or if their human is running late and they need a quick potty break/walk. I’m currently working part-time with no Wednesdays or weekends. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet, especially on your weekend getaways. I have a completely fenced in large backward and a baby gate to the kitchen in my home. Clients home should be safe for their pets and I will follow instruction on how the client wants me to care and play with their pet.

About: A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water logged stick will do just fine. A dog doesnt care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary? At least one - ME! I have an extreme love for dogs. I will follow whatever rules you give me when it comes to caring for your furbaby because, like people, all of our animals have different personalities and needs. I love being outdoors and have experience in potty training, leash training, as well as training them to follow basic commands.

About: I’ve had cats since childhood and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important patience, attention, and care are for pets. Even though I don’t own a dog, I’m very comfortable around them and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m responsible, gentle, and truly love animals, and I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already care for my own cat every day. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important trust and safety are when caring for someone’s pet. I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect as if they were my own pet.

McKenna took care of our two cats while we were out of the country on vacation. She came over before our departure for a meet-and-greet and was very friendly. She took great care of the cats while we were away and kept us updated with pics and messages. We highly recommend McKenna if you need assistance with your pets.

Ellen did an amazing job caring for my two senior cats. She administered meds and one cat that never comes out of hiding for any other pet sitter warmed up to Ellen and quickly learned to trust her. I loved receiving all the updates and loads of pictures twice a day. She even stayed extra time to ensure the shy cat ate all her food. I highly recommend Ellen, she’s a god-send. I will definitely trust her with watching my cats again.
