Brianne is a lovely person that visibly cares about animals. She came by to feed our rescue - not an easy dog because he believes in stranger danger! Her patience with him was evident. I feel a lot more confident in being gone for more than 3 hours knowing Brianne can drop in and hang out with Wiggins for a bit.

She is AMAZING! This was our first time leaving our cats alone and the amount of care Jennifer put in was incredible. She helped them feel safe, loved, and followed all instructions to a T. Definitely a 5 star review from my family.

First time leaving my precious fur babies alone at home while we were away for 10 days. Nicole put my mind at rest during our very first meet & greet even before booking. She took care of our babies like they were her own, sending me regular updates and even brought my shy and anxious cat Fluffy out of his shell so he was comfortable with her. We got back home last evening to find the boys well taken care of. She has a friendly, bubbly personality, really loves and takes care of your pets and has a great work ethic. If you’re looking for someone reliable and loving to take care of your precious furry look no further….

My kitty was happy and content with Lingshan’s visits every morning for two weeks. This was a big relief because she wouldn’t come out when Lingshan first came over to meet her! I also appreciated the photos Lingshan shared with me every day. The next time I go away, I hope Lingshan will come over again, although I will have to make sure that I’m more clear on how the litter boxes must be cleaned every day.

About: While I don't own a dog, I have been around them all my life, and have never know i dog I didn't love, or didn't love me. Rover has opened doors for me to meet and relate to new people and pets. I am a supervisor at my job and i also am in school as a grad student, so i take responsibility very seriously. As a dog sitter, I view this as an oppurtunity to connect with different people and of course animals. Also, forcing me to get outside and be more active! I would like to be able to walk your dog, complete check ins, and house sit. Unfortunatley, as much as I would like to, I cannot dog board with my current living status. My schedule is very tight, so I do have to limit myself to the number of clients I take on. The more time advance a booking is offered, the more I will be able to adjust my schedule to meet those requirements. I care to the standards of the pet owners, and frequently send pics an updates as well as I ask questions when necessary. I also do my best to go above and beyond when i can!

Catherine was so wonderful! She agreed to come on pretty short notice when our daughter decided to make her appearance, and she took great care of our two cats while we were away! She made sure we were updated, and we came home to two happy guys who were fed and watered. And Catherine even thought to bring in our mail, which was something we hadn’t even considered!

This is the longest time I’ve been away from my cat and I felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands with Rachel. She was able to give Pixel her oral medication and always provided detailed updates on her demeanor and playfulness for the given visit. I looked forward to seeing the summary and pictures each time!

Kate accepted our last minute request to drop by to check on our cat while we were out. Our cat is elderly, shy and not very friendly, but Kate managed to get her out of her shell and play/pet her. She sent many pictures and details about how she was doing and it was great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well fed and well taken care of kitty. Thanks Kate! Happy to recommend if you need her to take care of your kitty.

Nicole was absolutely wonderful! My wife and I looked forward to her daily updates and appreciated the videos and pictures she sent us of our little boy, Bruce (4 years old Bombay cat). She was detailed in her daily updates which provided us with a sense of ease, knowing that she was taking such good care of him and our home. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her services for any future travel :)
