2. Katie W.
“Katie was fantastic with my two cats! She came to meet them several weeks in advance and was very accommodating to my schedule. She wrote detailed descriptions and took pictures for every visit while I was gone for 4 days. It really helped my peace of mind knowing that my kitties were safe and cared for. She is overall a very kind person and I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

12. priscilla h.
About: I have taken care of cats for over 50 years as my mom bred Siamese cats. I have taken care of my friends animals as well when they were out of town. I am great with animals. I grew up in the county with cats, dogs, chickens and goats. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to schedule for pet care. I am very flexible on time schedule. I have my own car so transportation is not a problem. I can do whatever is needed for your pet (feeding/walking/litter changes). I like to play with the animals for a period of time with each visit too.
13. Pam & David E.
“Pam and David did a wonderful job watching our two cats! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous about leaving them, but Pam and David were amazing and sent us plenty of updates. We really appreciate the thorough visit summary and many photos each day. We will definitely be using them in the future!”
14. Cameron F.
“Cameron is FANTASTIC with my cats. I can’t believe how happy they all were and how pleased I am with how things went. I have 3 cats with varied needs and EVERYTHING went SO well!”
15. Molly S.
“Molly is absolutely wonderful ! We were getting a new puppy so I started looking on Rover for a sitter to help with letting her out. I set up a meet and greet with Molly the weekend we brought our girl home. She came over and stayed for an hour just talking & playing we knew Molly was the one we could trust with our 8 week old puppy. I have scheduled drop in visits and love getting all the photos of Ahsoka having fun playing….will definitely be booking Molly to keep her for an upcoming vacation!”
16. Ella C.
“Ella was wonderful! She took great care of our cats while we were gone and went above and beyond! I loved the daily checkups and pictures she sent :) We will use her again and highly recommend her to others!”
17. Deborah & Jeremy W.
“What a wonderful first time experience we had with these sweet incredible individuals. I will be rebooking with them in the future 100%. They did a wonderful job and the pups always looked so happy. The updates were just phenomenal and gave me peace of mind. Very thankful to have booked them this weekend with bigger trips coming up! Thank you thank you thank you!:)”
18. Abigail S.
“Abby has been a godsend for us. She’s been regularly taking my dogs out for months now and she is reliable, friendly, and a good communicator. She was especially heroic about a month ago when she arrived to discover one of my dogs having a stroke. She contacted me right away, was calm, thorough, and helpful, and I was able to come home to take my dog in to the vet. We’re fully recovered and I can’t even imagine where we’d be without Abby. I’d rebook her in a heartbeat.”
19. Aleah W.
About: In addition to basic dog and cat care, I am experienced in dealing with animals who need extra care and patience. I am never afraid to put in extra work and care! I am currently a senior in college and don't have time for a full time job. When I'm not working on my novel, I would love to be hanging with new furry friends! I always take steps to ensure pets feel comfortable with me around. Reading and understanding body language is essential, and I always keep this in mind when evaluating my role in their care.
20. Katie S.
“I have hired Katie as a dog walker and pet sitter and recommend her highly. She is kind and conscientious and brings valuable vet-tech experience to the job. Katie can deal with difficult dogs. All mine were Airedales, not an easy breed. She bonded especially well with one aptly named Thistle! When I had multiple dogs Katie took care to give each the special attention it was due. I urge you to consider Katie for your dog care needs.”
