About: I have experience staying overnight in clients’ homes to care for their pets, including senior and sick dogs who need extra love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy! I’m also happy to host pets in my own home, which is cozy and has a nice backyard for play and fresh air. I’m friendly, reliable, and treat every pet like my own💕💕🐶🐱 I currently am a senior in highschool who's unemployed so that means I have a lot of time! I'm almost always available and there when needed. I have a big fenced yard and do not have any other pets, so no need to worry about conflict with other animals! I treat every home and pet with care and respect and will make sure I keep you updated by sending you update pictures!
“She was timely with your requested time and super friendly with our cats. She’s was responsive during the meet and greet and even did extra steps like brining up the trash. Our boys have 4 litter boxes and two automatic wet food feeders that require some maintenance. She handled that proper”
“Abby is always on time and is so good with my old girl. I trust her to take care of things for drop in visits when I’m not there. She is diligent and caring.”
“Taylor went above and beyond to make sure Jax was comfortable and taken care of. We recently moved so he’s been very suspicious of strangers, but he loved her instantly. We will definitely be repeat clients”
“Rachel was awesome. Both kitties warmed up to her with ease on our meet and greet and greeted her when she stopped in for our drop in visits . She was always on time and gave a detailed report with photos and even went above and cleaned all the kittie dishes before she left. I highly recommend Rachel and look forward to having her drop in again soon.”

“Lauren is amazing and I highly recommend her! She was great with our two dogs - especially with the one that is nervous around people outside of our family. She took great care of them, played outside with them every drop in, and communicated with us each time and sent lots of pictures. Were already planning on using her again for our next trip!”
“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Bowie! She was incredibly affectionate and attentive, making sure he felt loved and comfortable the entire time I was away. Grace did such a fantastic job that I could travel with total peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”

Stephany is kind, reliable, and professional. She cleaned up a litter mess and also just made sure the litter boxes were clean and not just emptied. It’s that extra effort I really appreciate. My cat is also pretty picky, has hidden from a lot of Rovers but she loves Stephany’s kindness!
Alexis was reliable and professional! And also loving and sweet with our two dogs and two cats. She was flexible with our changing travel plans and helped problem solve issues like a beeping alarm system! I knew my fur babies were in good hands. Thanks, Alexis!
Jenny really spent time with my cat! I have had other cat sitters (from Rover) who spent 5 or 10 minutes, but Jenny spent 25-30 minutes to give my cat some play time and lots of love. I have a camera on my front door so I know how long the sitter stays. Jenny sent regular updates and was easy to work with.
Laura checked on our cat while we were away during the holidays. Laura is very responsive to all communication. She provided daily updates with pictures (even though our cat is super shy). It was great knowing that someone was checking on him every day. Laura, thank you so much for taking care of Fez!
McKenna took great care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. She fed them, played with them, and gave them attention. She left our house just as clean as when we left and took care of a excited eater's vomit. The cats love having her visit and we know they are in good hands.
