“Lisa did a wonderful job taking care of my two babies, including my disabled senior dog. I can always feel comfortable going away because I know my pets are in good hands. Thank you Lisa!”
“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”
“Elijah did an excellent job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. He was quick to communicate, and he went over and above to help take care of not only the pets, but also the house while we were gone.”
“Kristen is a gem of a person and so attentive to our dog, Skye. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is also very funny. She is great to work with and I totally trust her with our furbaby.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Jeffrey. He took such great care of our diabetic cat so we could rest easy on vacation.”
“Amazing is an understatement! My two cats have grown so comfortable with Amanda (and so quickly!); she is so good with them. She did an incredible, I mean truly unbelievable, job socializing with my people-averse, scaredy-cat kitten to the point where, instead of hiding, she hears Amanda and comes out to play. Even my senior baby boy who is grumpy in my absence is less moody when Amanda visits. On top of all of that, Amanda is a total professional in every aspect; she’s an excellent and active communicator, shows immense mindfulness in the execution of her work, and is so respectful when in my home. I’m sincerely so grateful for her!”
“I travel for a living and not the most organized person. Sydney has been great about helping with my Cat midnight. Nothing in my home has been touched and my cat seems happy when I get back home from the road. Thanks Sydney!”
“Great Experience, Cassie made it very easy with her availability and we had good peace of mind while we were away. Our cats are not particularly difficult, but it was good to know someone was checking up on them!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.
“Kay is phenomenal! She is responsive, knowledgeable, and provides amazing communication and very funny updates! I never had to worry about the care she gave to my cat, even when I was so far away :) Thank you, Kay!”
“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”
About: For most of my life, I have owned, loved, boarded, fostered, and/or cared for a broad range of animals, including dogs (small and large), cats (domesticated and feral), hamsters, rabbits, chickens, fish, one gerbil, one parrot, and a handful of reptiles. (I've also spent some time on farms learning husbandry.) From this comes experience with the full cycle of life with companion animals - birth, adolescence, training, advancements, setbacks, accidents, illness, aging, and loss. I'm no stranger to providing extra potty breaks for puppies (our interests are mutually aligned) or with giving daily medications. For the first time in many years, my home is without a pet of my own - let me dote on yours when you can't. I'm a retired(ish) attorney and veteran now working from home with plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies. Regular walks and exercise are an important part of our routine. My property is ~ 2 acres, large portions of which are fenced but couldn't be properly described as secured. Your dog's temperament will determine whether it can roam / play / fetch unleashed, but in no event will dogs be outside unattended. Inside, I try to make my home as welcoming and comforting for your pets as I would hope would be done for mine - animals are allowed on the furniture and are invited to sleep where they please, unless you instruct otherwise.
“Jordan is an absolute gem. We hire her every time we are out of town and our cats (one of whom has get a get an insulin shot very 12 hours) are so well cared for. 10/10, definitely book her!”
“Allyson was great and helped out with my two crazy girls on short notice!”
“Whitney was awesome. Very kind, professional, communicated well, and took great care of my cat! Highly recommend.”
“Megan is wonderful, loving and adjusts her schedule to accommodate taking care of my puppy. Megan is the best sitter on this site and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
About: Experience caring for dogs in all ages and stages. Comfortable giving medications, following special diets, and anything else to keep your dog healthy and happy. I work full-time Monday-Friday, but am available in the evenings and weekends. I’m okay with adding additional furry members to my household while you travel and/or dropping in to check on them in the comfort if their own home. Full disclaimer: I have a senior dog, a cat, and school-aged children. Everyone in my household is friendly with both dogs and cats. My yard is fenced (4ft, chain-link) and dogs have access to a screened in porch if they prefer staying outdoors during the day. I’m more than happy to keep them inside, either crated or not, depending on your preferences.
“These folks are incredible!! So kind, great with my dog, and very flexible. I’ll be booking again!”
