Kristine is an excellent Rover sitter! She is incredibly reliable and professional. Kristine responded quickly to messages. She provided reports with photos for each and every drop-in visit that she was scheduled to make. As a bonus, she provided helpful advice on managing the older cat's arthritis. Both cats were comfortable with Kristine from the moment she arrived. They loved being cared by her and appreciated the attention she provided.

Frances (Grace) was great to agree to do a drop in visit on short notice and to come by and meet my fur babes beforehand. My dogs who can be standoffish took to Grace pretty quick! Appreciate that I felt totally comfortable with knowing Grace was going to be checking in on my my dogs while I was at work!!!!

About: I’m not just someone who pauses to care for your pet; my love for animals goes beyond measure. I’m committed to ensuring that the time I spend with them exceeds all expectations. I’m a graphic designer - most work I do is from home. So my schedule is very flexible and on the go! I can work and sit in while watching your animal! 😀 I have a dog myself - she is hardly ever caged and is trained to stay out and behave accordingly. She is very energetic. But LOVES people and other animals.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and other animals since I was little. I love animals so much and want every dog to reach there happiness for the day. People have relied on me for multiple things from walking, house care, and bathing their pets. I’m currently a full time teacher and only free on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Once June comes I’m free everyday to support all our furry friends. I take my own dog on multiple walks daily and play with her favorite toys too. I would be extremely careful and energetic with your pets.

Elizabeth was such a delight and godsend for us. She was very attentive to the needs of the pets, and showed care like they were her own. She is patient, and goes above and beyond with communication. We are very happy with finding her, definitely recommend her, and will be using her again. Welcoming someone into your home is always a bit anxiety inducing, but she made us feel very comfortable and confident to leave our precious animals in her care.

About: As a person who has been the primary care taker of my pets since I was 8, I know the right way to take care of animals and know how hard it can be to find quality care for our furry friends. With 2 cats of my own and with several previously owned dogs, I know I can provide excellent care to all kinds of animals! I also have a Veterinary Assisting degree, so also being able to alert owners of any health issues to be wary of is something I take seriously! Pet care is a daily task, as such I am able to do daily walks and be able to do other care tasks throughout the day so that your pet feels enriched and loved even when you’re away. I understand dog behavior to a good degree as I studied it while in school to earn my degree, so being able to safely walk a dog even if they are reactive is something I feel comfortable with.

Wow! We could not be happier with Melanie. She is fantastic! Being new to the area, we were nervous about leaving our fur babies. Over the years we have used a lot of great sitters in other areas of the country, what we can honestly say is Melanie is by far one of the best! She is reliable, conscientious and great communicator. In such a short time-she knew all of the unique personalities and really took fantastic care! We will be using Melanie again and now feel confident we can travel knowing our babies are in safe hands!

Mason was great- highly recommend! She was so prompt in answering my request and all my messages. I felt very comfortable on my trip knowing Penny was in good hands. She arrived right on time for her visits, sent so many cute pics, and kept me updated on Penny the whole time. I will def be booking again next time I need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone in the area!

When I came home after a week away my cat was relaxed and happy. She did extra with keeping my bird feeders full and bird baths clean and also my plants. Wonderful and the best!!! Highly recommend Alexis!
