About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and extensive experience with dogs of all ages, I provide attentive and loving pet care. I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, SubQ, IM) and can handle everything from bathing and walking to drop-ins. Friends and family often rely on me for their pets' needs, knowing they’ll receive the best care while they’re away. I’m currently available every day for your pet sitting, walking, and drop-in needs. I live in the Norwood/Oakley area and love getting my steps in while ensuring your pets have the support they need while you’re away! Your pets will be in excellent hands with me. Our home features a small, secure yard and hardwood floors with HVAC for their comfort. If your pet is crate-trained, we’re happy to use their crate. Our neighborhood offers fantastic walking routes, ensuring plenty of exercise and exploration. Rest assured, safety and trust are my top priorities, and your pets will enjoy a cozy and caring environment while you’re away.

About: I am an animal lover with years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. I have taken care of dogs in all shapes and sizes ranging from small guys to big pure bred Akita's. I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule to work with. Morning and afternoon walks are my ideal time of day but will work with any schedule. I do not offer dog boarding or sitting at the moment but take the upmost care of pets on walks. Your pets safety and enjoyment is my number one priority.
“Jim, was always on time and professional. He also communicated clearly when Shakespeare my cat had an accident and cleaned it up thoroughly. Would rebook if going on another trip!”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—which gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence working with animals. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced and patient with every stage of life. I have hands-on experience with basic obedience training and I’m currently working toward my dog training certification. I currently work at FedEx ground. I'm about to switch to weekends only so I can be available mon-friday anytime. Weekend nights could work if planned ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly condo where dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. My own dog, Foster, is friendly and well-socialized—he loves making new friends and is great with other dogs. We also share a backyard with respectful neighbors and their dogs, creating a safe and social environment. I'm always happy to answer any questions or provide updates,just reach out anytime!

Please ask me any questions as needed! My strategy for pet sitting involves feeding, taking out for potty, and playfully engaging with the pet througout the scheduled time. If you'd preffer, I can always send you a picture of your pet every 3-4 hours to give you a piece of mind =). I understand how precious pets are and how we want to make sure they're well taken cared of. I will do my best to do so in your place!
“Allison took great care of my two cats in my home. While we were away, one of my cats needed a new medication and some extra monitoring. She figured out how to get him to take the medication and her communication with me was clear and reassuring. I feel confident when Allison is taking care of my cats.”

Corey C.
“I cannot recommend Corey enough! It is clear that he truly loves dogs and treats them like family. He’s watched my dog Laika multiple times now, and every time I come back, my dog is happy, calm, and clearly well-cared for. Corey goes above and beyond—daily updates, adorable photos, long walks, and lots of playtime. I honestly think she gets more excited to see Corey than she does me and jumps out of my car to sprint to his door. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in good hands when I’m away. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals, Corey is your guy. 10/10, would trust him with my dog any day.”

Amanda is kind, responsible, and dependable. I know I can count on her when looking for someone I trust with my pets!!”

Columbia cat parents share their Rover experiences
paris was amazing! she always provided updates and communicated when she was coming over, and always responded to my questions and requests quickly. my cat absolutely loved her and was a lot less lonely with me gone. she’ll definitely be my first pick to rebook when i go out of town again!!!
I could be the luckiest guy, who has a cat he loves very much, to have found Abbie as a sitter while I took a sabbatical. My biggest anxiety was leaving Hugo behind for a month. When I met up with Abbie for our meet and greet, I knew he would be in good hands, and much of my anxiety faded as we we talked. She communicated everyday, and my cat had to love the attention he got from her, even if his dad was nowhere to be found (he was very happy to see me when I got back). If you have cats that you love dearly, I do not know how you could do any better, at all, than to engage and hire Abbie to help you out. She is genuine and heartfelt in her approach, and I was asking a lot for a person to spend a month looking in on a beloved pet. I simply can not say enough in terms of the positive of my experience in hiring her, and I recommend her highly. On behalf of myself and Hugo, thank you Abbie!
