“Literally look no further than Andrea! This was my first time using Rover and it was so simple! She sent photos of each of my cats which was reassuring and also impressive since the grey one likes to hide. She also showed them playing and petting them which just put me at ease. Pretty sure she cleaned up a hairball or two which is above and beyond really. Boxes were clean and trash was even taken out. Andrea is my new go to for anytime I’m out of town! Thank you 🩷”
“It is so reassuring leaving my cat with Aimee to sit!! She is very caring and I know he is in excellent hands. Thanks for everything, Aimee!!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jen! She hit it off right away with both my dog and cat. I got the best pics and updates while we were out of town. I will definitively be using her again!”
“Last minute request for a let-out for 3 very big dogs. Shannon took the time to drop in to meet them and completed the visit flawlessly. Highly recommend!”
“Whitney was so helpful and we knew Josie was in great hands while we were away. She was very communicative and we got great updates. Thanks Whitney!!!”
“Nelly has been great! Goes above and beyond. Glad we found her!!”
About: I love hanging out with both dogs and cats and have experience with both! I have practice with giving dogs medicine and can walk or check in on your pet(s) any day of the week, rain or shine! I'm on summer break and am happy to help any day of the week. I have very few time constraints and I am very flexible. I usually go about pet care tasks first and play with/walk/let out pets second. I avoid bothering pets unless they're particularly friendly or asking for attention so I don't stress them out.

I loved receiving the videos and photos too. I highly recommend her services!”

We highly recommend Sid to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Will definitely be book again!”
