1. Eve M.
“Eve was amazing when she looked after my cat! Prior to the session, she asked questions and made notes to ensure she didn’t forget anything. During my time away, she took great care of Grace - doing everything I asked and sending lots of photos/videos. Absolutely would book with her again!”

4. Madison H.
“As long as I have known Maddy, she has always had a passion for all animals. She has taken care of our three cats the same way she would take care of her children. Maddy truly loves all animals and would be the perfect person to help people who need care throughout the day.”
5. Stephen S.
“Stephen helped take care of Zoe while we were out of town and was wonderful. Stephen is very profession, Prompt, quick with communication, and sent us regular updates during the drop in visits. Zoe seemed to have a great time. Highly recommend”
6. Kyle T.
“Kyle was great! She was able to accommodate us last minute and the dogs loved her! She updated us throughly on the dogs after the visit! I would definitely recommend Kyle☺️”
7. Orion & Alex M.
“Orion and Alex were very kind and professional when I reached out about drop-in visits with Collins. I had never worked with a pet sitter before, and they were very gracious about all of my questions and the detailed instructions I left. Orion provided updates and pictures for me each time he and Alex visited my apartment, and they took the time to try and socialize with my sweet, yet somewhat, standoffish cat. I definitely plan to book time with Orion and Alex again!”
8. Devin A.
“Devin was great! She sent thorough updates on my cats and seemed to genuinely love hanging with them. She was very communicative of any scheduling/timing issues, and overall was a pleasure to work with. 10/10 would book again 😸”

About: I'm a kind, responsible, friendly, well organized, calm & honest person. My husband and I both like dogs. We own a smart, friendly golden retriever who love to play and run around our large yard. Our dog is healthy, understands basic commands (we trained him ourselves), house trained, and up to date on shots/vaccinations. We take good care of our dog and we'll take good care of your dog. We are living in country and close to dog park, Coventry and Bolton lakes. I can take your dog on a leash to walk there upon your request. I would like to board a friendly and house trained dog. We accept only crate trained dogs. I am working from home. So, I can provide potty breaks and plenty of exercise for your dog. I like to walk and have experience with dog who have anxiety. Safety is priority. I prefer to keep dogs separate because they may not get along. Your dog will be on a leash if outside the house. I would never feed my dog your dog kibble. Crate trained dogs only.
10. Bekka A.
“Bekka was amazing! She's very detail-oriented and adapted to the quirks of my two cats' quickly. She was a lifesaver over a pretty long stretch over the holidays and took fantastic care of them. I came home to two happy cats. (She's also awesome at taking cat pictures and the updates were perfect.) Thank you so much Bekka! :)”
11. Tyler R.
“Tyler has always shown a deep compassion towards animals and will be a great hire to take care of your pets. He helped take care of our two childhood golden retrievers, and more recently has helped care for two GSP dogs. Outside of his ability to care for pets, especially dogs, Tyler's compassion is what makes him stand out. When visiting me, he would immediately gravitate towards my husband and mine's two senior cats, providing them with the love they desired. In particular, we had one very shy cat and Tyler immediately picked up on that and simply sat near him until our shy cat was ready to engage. When my husband and I have used Rover for our cat care, our preferred caretakers were those who clearly loved animals and went above and beyond to give our animals love, as opposed to simply stopping by to check food/water and then leave. I am very confident Tyler will be a caretaker who will not only ensure your pets have what they need, but he will provide them with all the love and affection that they want. If you're looking for a true animal lover to trust with the care of your fur-babies, Tyler is a great pick!”
12. Alexandra G.
“I hired Allie over Christmas to stay with my pets while I was away visiting family. I have known Allie and her family for many years. They are a loving family that adores their pets. They also volunteer at a local rescue for parrots. Allie was brought up to love animals and it shows!! She spent loads of time with my “kids🐾” playing with them and loving on them. I would definitely hire Allie again to watch them. I don’t think they even missed me!! Haha!!”
13. Carla A.
“Carla is always great with my Milo and follows all directions given. Thanks again!”
14. RAYN E S.
“I have worked with Rayn for many years at an animal sanctuary and she is kind and patient with our dogs, many of whom have severe behavioral and/or medical needs. Your pup will be safe in her care!”
15. Raelynn & Sean R.
“Raelynn & Sean were so nice and so sweet with my girl. The communication was great. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again.”
16. Zachary D.
“I would highly recommend Zac for any pet sitting needs. He has house sat for me previously, and I have two large dogs and one cat. He is always on time, follows my instruction to the T and keeps me updated on how they are doing. My dogs love him so much that they happy cry when they see him walking up to the door.”
17. Doreen H.
“Doreen was great! She is so nice and took great care of my kitty. You can tell on meeting her she truly loves animals. She checked in each day on how he was doing and made sure to get over there even when bad weather was incoming. I will use her again for pet care!”
18. Serena C.
About: I have raised and trained many pets in my life, ever since I was a child. I currently have 3 dogs who I raised and trained, and am boarding 2 more. I am open to pet sitting and walks at any time I am not already booked. I am currently working as a line cook and generally have daytime free until 4pm. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I can administer topical and oral medication to your animals if needed. I stay neat while in your home, and am alert to common place dangers that could be present to your pet. I always check a pets basic needs such as availability of water!
19. Sandra H.
“Sandy was great. We've used her before to watch out little dogs. I don't remember if we showed her how much we feed each dog or we individually packaged their food for her but she did great and would keep using her. She also sent me a picture of my dogs having fun which was nice.”
20. Abigail C.
“She’s great! Abby took plenty of pictures of my dogs to keep me de-stressed while on vacation! I look toward to booking her again! Thank you for everything”
