Kelly was fantastic! She was on time and hung out with Dixie for a little bit. She made sure Dixie had fresh water and got to hang out in the sun for a few minutes. We’re so thankful to Kelly for taking such good care of our baby!

Kathy is the ideal sitter for our cat - caring, prompt, following his twice daily feeding needs & preferences, providing play time for him.. and bonding well. Best of all were the photos she sent at each visit, giving us daily laughs and smiles at his antics and cute poses she captured. Thank you, Kathy! Hope you’re available next time!

About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.

Brittany so great with Roxie and Ellie. It was great to see pictures everyday and know that they were being taken such good care of. Brittany made sure that all their needs were fulfilled and that they were happy. I would recommend Brittany to take care of your fur babies anytime. Will definitely use her Services again. Job well done.

We had a great experience with Andrea. She was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was handled exactly how we like it. Most importantly, Suma really enjoyed her and had a great time playing. She was always prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages during her visits—which I know many pet owners will really appreciate. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort. She’s newer to Rover, but you wouldn’t know it from the level of care and professionalism she brings. We’d absolutely book her again!

About: Over the years, I have cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing special attention. I am highly comfortable with: Administering oral medications Managing leash pullers on walks Crater training and housebreaking routines Caring for anxious or shy pets I have worked as a vet tech and have done grooming. I also have done prior training and have shown my babies in Akc fun rally and obedience shows. I am a early retired per enthusiast. I find animals are the best therapy for a relaxing lifestyle. When your pet is with me, their safety and happiness are my top priorities. For Dog Walking: We will explore safe, dog-friendly routes, practice good leash manners, and get plenty of fresh air. I always bring fresh water, waste bags, and treats (if allowed!). For Pet Sitting: I stick strictly to your established feeding, potty, and playtime schedules to keep your pet's stress levels low while you are away. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind. I promise to send you daily photo and video updates so you always know how they are doing. Ensuring your pet gets plenty of direct attention and supervision are always my goals. I look forward to giving your pets the same love, care, and respect I would give my own!

Tina was amazing! She took care of Martin like her own. We had her do a few drop ins while out of town and she kept us in the loop the entire time. She even offered to check on our pup when our flight was delayed. Tina made me feel like I could put my phone down and not worry if Marty was going to be taken care of. I definitely recommend Tina for your pet sitting needs.

About: I have had several types of pets since a small child. I have also rescued several animals. I believe all animals should be a part of our families. I will be home the entire time your pets are in my home. Pets are allowed on furniture and sleep in bed. I want your pets to feel secure and at home. I have a fenced yard and 2 rescue dogs of my own. I do not crate mine, but I will care for your babies any way that they are comfortable.

About: I’m a dog person. I’ve never been without a dog and have owned many breeds; A Chihuahua, German Sheppard, cockapoo, English Springer Spaniel, mixed breeds, Jack Russell Shortie. I love them all. Currently I own a 15 year old senior Corgi and an 18 month old long haired Mini Dachshund puppy. I can’t get enough of dogs. I have also dog sat for many neighbors and family. My daughter owns two very active Australian Sheppards and they love me! because I am retired and home full-time i can shower your fur babies with love, attention and activities. Please save me from owning too many dogs by allowing me to invite your pup(s) into my home! I am retired and I do volunteer work, about 10 hours a week. I have a senior dog who requires eye drops and a special diet. In addition my youngster dachshund has completed puppy training, house training and socialization. She loves to play, if you have a puppy, my home is puppy proof and I will help you work on housebreaking. I have a large home with a fenced yard. I have two well socialized and pet friendly dogs. A 15 year old Corgi and an 18 month old mini dachshund. My dogs are crate trained. Visiting dogs can be crate trained or free to roam the house. On furniture is fine, but I will adhere to your rules. I do not allow dogs in my bed.
