“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”
“Kayla was very sweet, communicative, and great with my cat! I’ll definitely be booking with Kayla again.”
“Couldn’t recommend Anna more. We’ve been lucky enough for Anna to take care of our cat a few times and it’s always a terrific experience for all involved!”
“Carolina took such good care of our 7 month old puppy. She was walked and ready for a nap when we returned home from our appointment. We will be booking her again.”
“Pamela was fantastic with our two cats! She was always timely in her drop-ins, gave comprehensive updates, and kept our cats happy and entertained. We highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter!”
“My kitty and I loved Anne! She made us feel comfortable by planning a meeting to get to know each other before I left on a long trip! Anne was considerate, always sent me photos of my cat, and gave me daily updates! Next time I am out of town I will definitely be using Anne again! Thank you so much!”
“Shannon has been so good to our doggies, 6 years old and 4 months old. She kept us updated with how they did and included pictures with each visit. She was responsible about resetting the security system each time she left. She’s thoughtful and pays attention to detail. We’d definitely recommend her!”
“Amelia was fabulous with my kitten! Through her detailed visit summaries I was able to keep tabs on my sweet girl and the pictures made my time away so much better.”
“Emmerson did a great job with my big Belgian Malinois puppy who can be a lot to handle! He was very tidy and consistently sent updates and was always available to talk to.”
“It’s quite clear how amazing Christy was with my very spoiled cat. This was my first time using Rover and it was a wonderful experience and I could feel good knowing my baby got lots of playtime and love. Greatly appreciated the daily notes and pictures, I could tell my cat was much calmer and happier then other times I’ve traveled.”
About: Always loved cats and dogs, ever since I was a toddler. A dream of mine was to be a dog trainer (wasn’t very successful) but my passion for them will never leave. Currently between jobs, and online school, so I have all the time in the world for all the little and big fluff balls. My schedule is very flexible to fit your needs. My friends and neighbors always trusted me with taking care of their pets. I’m very friendly and caring with all types. I can do some light training if you ask, but I can’t promise to be good with that.
“Thank you so much Ned for your service in taking care of LucyLulu and London on Election day so I could be an Election Judge for 15 hours and not have to worry about the dogs with you coming three times. I appreciate your report stating they were both good. Take care and thanks again. Tip processed.”
“Peter cared for our 3 large dogs with no hesitation! He was a great communicator and very flexible with our schedule. We would definitely trust him to come back any time!”
“Teresa was amazing and so easy to work with. Your pets are in great hands. We had an amazing experience. Thank you again we will definitely be using you again in the future.”
“Lizzy was an excellent sitter, she was able to come support last minute and was patient with some issues getting in the building which I really appreciated! She was great with Dexter and completed everything that was required during a couple quick visits. Would recommend 10/10 and I hope to work with her again. Thank you Lizzy!”
“Connie is very caring and took great care of Oreo and sent a picture of our cat too. She went above the expectations.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. I currently have a 1 and half year old dog so I’m very comfortable with puppies. I also helped take care of my older family dog so also able to help with senior care as well. I work from home Monday, Thursday, and Fridays and am available on the weekends to take care of your dog. During my time at home, I have ample time to drive to your house or take care of dogs at my house whichever is more comfortable for you. I have a fenced in backyard. I also have a super friendly dog who loves making new friends and would be happy keeping your dog company. I also have a large crate that I can put up if needed for the dog as well.
“Holly was wonderful and we would definitely have her again. She took great care of our kitty, Lily. She sent nice photos, gave updates, and gave Lily lots of love.”
“Sarah takes great care of my kitties! I really appreciate her flexibility with my changing travel plans, and I will definitely be rebooking with her for my next trip!!”
“Shawntil was great. She followed my cat's care instructions, she was quick to respond, wrote updates, and posted very cute pictures daily. I'd trust Shawntil to care for my cat again. I would recommend her if you're looking for drop-in cat visits.”

Rola M.
“Rola took very good care of my dog Sophie while I was away, Sophie and Rola instantly bonded. Sophie is always very happy when Rola comes by the house. Rola takes excellent care of my very shy and sometimes rambunctious dog, Sophie listens to Rola and is very comfortable with them. Rola is very responsible, while i was out of town they fed my dog on time, made sure she got enough walks, and gave her medication on time while Sophie needed it. I can’t recommend Rola enough.”
