“Ellie was a great find for watching my senior cat. She was very kind and compassionate, made sure he got his meds and extra cuddle. I know my cat appreciated having her visit.”
“Avery was so wonderful to work with!!! She took such good care of our cat, going above and beyond to make sure that he was okay since he kept hiding! She was great at communicating so I was never wondering what was going on thanks to her updates! Will definitely be booking her next time we travel!”
“This was my Husband and I’s first time using Rover and Carly was such an amazing find. From the moment we met Carly we knew our Kitty Fur Babies would be in good hands. She made sure she had their daily num num routine down along with their other personal care needs. Carly put us at ease being away from our Fur Babies Gala and Floki. We looked forward to getting our Rover Report Card everyday. It had an update with how they were doing along with pictures. She was also very quick with responding to messages. We were so beyond happy with how she took care of our Fur Babies. You will not go wrong with Carly.”
“Theresa is wonderful. I was hesitant to leave my cat alone as she has her quirks. Theresa came by every day twice and interacted well with whiskey once whiskey decided to stop hiding! I came home to a happy content cat and clean house. She kept me updated with lots of photos and texts. Definitely recommend Theresa!”
“Lynn was great! Took good care of our Millybug and didn’t try to force a relationship (Milly is very standoffish and wants to be left alone). We appreciated Lynn‘s regular updates about Milly and the house - made it easy to relax on vacation even from several thousand miles away.”
“Lexie was amazing! Super communication and was always on time to the requested stop-ins. You could tell how much Lexie truly cared for our dog and I was so pleased to leave our dogs care in her hands. I loved all the report cards and pictures as well! We will definitely be rebooking with Lexie in the future when needed.”
“Kathleen is so conscientious about taking time and just being with our kitty. She was wonderful with him, and always left us a quick note so we knew what he was up to.”
“Dee was absolutely amazing stopping over to give our guy some love and walks over the weekend. She was extremely communicative and provided lots of photos and updates each visit. Her notes were great and we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend her and will ask for her help again!”
“Farrell came and helped take Jaxon out and care for him while I was away and she did a fantastic job! Great at communicating, sharing photos and updates. 100% would book her again!”
“Dominique did such a great job checking in on my sweet cat while I was gone for Labor Day Weekend. She was thorough and communicative and stuck to the schedule! She also gave meds on schedule and lot of love and treats! She sent plenty of great pictures too :)”
About: I've had experience with pets ranging from rats, to fish, to snakes, cats, and dogs. I am no stranger to dogs/animals in general. I'll do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your beloved family member. I can handle big pets, small pets, aggressive/anxious pets, timid pets. I can keep up with high energy/athletic pets, and care for disabled pets. I can pass meds, teach a few commands, and give you updates on how your pets are doing. Animals tend to love me as much as I love them, thank you for trusting me with you family. I'm available pretty much every day and during select holidays. I have a very flexible schedule due to the nature of my work at this time. I do drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I'll check on your pets, make sure they haven't gotten into anything, play with them, feed them, take them out, clean up after them, and provide updates on their care.
“Jaime was very communicative and kind. Kept me up to date on my babies and I felt reassured that they were in good hands. Will definitely hire Jaime again!”
“Erin goes above and beyond with her service. I’ve had her take care of my dogs multiple times and am always happy and my expectations are exceeded (and I’m picky!) with the care they receive.”
“We had to leave for the weekend in a hurry, and Anna was very willing to care for our kitty. Anna took great care of her, was very polite in establishing the logistics, and even cleaned up after our cat when she missed the litter box. We are so thankful!”
About: I’ve volunteered at the harbor humane society and other local shelters for years. I love spending time with the animals and ensuring their happiness and comfort. I’m currently on summer break from school and have a very open schedule while the only task I have to complete is to work on my masters thesis. Your home and pet are so incredibly valuable. I will be sure to treat your home with respect, cleaning up after myself and your pets.
“Tanya was fantastic! She took excellent care of our dog for a week while we were away. I was very nervous as we have a protective dog and we have never used a service before. Tanya went above and beyond and came to my house to meet my dog twice before we went away. She gave us daily updates and even spent extra time at our house when she sensed our dog needed some additional love. I truly feel Tanya treated my dog like one of her own. She gladly fed our hermit crabs too which was a last minute request of ours. I would highly recommend Tanya and will definitely be asking her to watch our dog in the future.”
“Christi took exceptional care of my puppers while I was out of town. She was fantastic. The check in cards were a great feature, Christi gave updates and photos during visits. Knowing my fur family was in good hands provided the peace of mind I needed. I would choose Christi as my pup sitter any day!”
“Emma was great! This was our first time using Rover and she se the bar high with a meet and greet before hand, timely communication and made us feel at ease. Our boys loved her and we are looking forward to our rebooking with her!”

l have always been very impressed with the way that Lynn cares for my dog. She is very good at figuring out what she needs and following directions with how she’s normally cared for. She helped me out last minute this past time and really helped ease my mind with figuring out how to care for my dog while I was gone for the day. Thanks again!!
We couldn't be happier with the care provided for our elderly cat, Khan. We were in a bit of a stressful situation — our original pet sitter fell through at the last minute, and we found ourselves scrambling to find someone reliable on short notice. Reed & Natalie really came through for us. Natalie quickly arranged a meet & greet to get acquainted with Khan and helped put us at ease. That first impression proved well-founded. Khan is a cranky little lady who does not warm up to strangers easily, but the visits went wonderfully, and it was clear that real patience and care went into each one. What really stood out was the dedication and reliability. The daily visits required a significant drive, which is no small ask given how painful fuel costs have gotten lately — and that never seemed to be an issue. Even some unexpected car trouble didn't get in the way of the visits. That level of commitment is rare and did not go unnoticed. Knowing Khan was in good hands while we were away gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Reed & Natalie.
Lydia was great! She was super responsible with my senior cat who needs oral meds. I could tell she took extra time to cuddle and play with him. She cleaned up everything before I came home. Booking and communication was easy and she sent pictures/updates regularly. I will definitely be booking with her again!
This was our second time booking Brennan, and it was an easy yes to hire him again. My wife and I were tied up with childcare, and Brennan stepped in seamlessly. Our dog genuinely loves him, and the care, attention, and reliability were just as great as the first time. Highly recommend. We’ll be booking again
Kaitlin was amazing! She did drop ins for my two cats while I was away for almost a week. She kept me posted, sent pictures every day, even brushed them while I was gone, which I hadn't asked her to do. I felt comfortable having her in my house and I felt comfortable leaving my babies with her. I will absolutely be a repeat client!
Thank you for making our trip away stress free knowing the kitties would be taken good care of. Loved the pics and glad they had fun playing, especially with the laser pointer. Thank you for helping keep the plants watered also! The cats were content and everything looked great when we got home
