“Jasmine was great with our spirited Yorkie! She took care of his insulin shot and eye drops easily. Bandit has a new friend! Looking forward to working with her again.”
“Felicitas was absolutely amazing! We needed a sitter last minute to check in on our dog while out of town, and she was very accommodating. She sent us lots of videos during each check in visit, and we felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. Our golden doodle Benny absolutely loved her and we will definitely book with her again :)”
“Joselyn was excellent. I have a very old 16.5yr old dog and she could not have been more attentive and patient. She leaves very detailed notes about the visits and goes above and beyond. We are thrilled to finally have found a sitter we can trust and will definitely book her in the future.”
“Ashley went above and beyond in all aspects. Her communication in their daily check ins was detailed and I really appreciate her making sure our cats had clean water, clean litter box, and clean bowls. 100% will be booking Ashley in the future!”
“Danielle always does a great job visiting our kitties while we’re gone. We’ve taken many last notice weekend trips and she’s always willing to help and our kitties enjoy her company. This time we added an extra visit so we could stay a little longer on our vacation. Thanks Danielle for everything!”
“We absolutely adore working with Sara for drop in visits! We have booked with her several times and she has always been very professional, responsive, and friendly. Our dog and cat have always been well cared for by Sara, which always helps us to enjoy our time away!”
“Everything went well. This was my first time leaving my dogs so I was nervous but Tia gave me updates and had great communication. She came to meet them ahead of time so they would be familiar with her. I was shocked at how many people I contacted that claimed to be “dog people” that were not willing to do such a simple (and necessary) thing. I will definitely use her services again.”
“This is my first time using this app to do drop in visits. She updated everyday with pictures thoroughly and asked questions to insure a great service. I would recommend her she kept it professional and respected my home. Thank you!!”
“Arianna was great! She sent pictures each time she was there which really put us at ease since we had never used rover before, she took great care of Honda and we will definitely use her again!”
“Claire was just outstanding. She took care of my kitty like she was her own. She went above and beyond to interact with her, scratch her, let her spend extra time outside on the sunny days, and was all-around a great sitter. I would have Claire watch Smudge again in a heartbeat.”
“Ashley went above and beyond to take care of our pups! I was nervous using the app as it was my first time, but I felt so comfortable leaving them in her care! I would 100% recommend having Ashley take care of your fur babies!! She was amazing!!”
“Fabulous! She was so understanding of our labradoodle who has a licker problem and so patient with our shih tzu who is scared of strangers. She has tons of energy and my pups were very happy.”
“Josephine goes above and beyond to treat my two cats like her own. She sends photos, videos, and thorough updates about both of my girls, which removes so much stress and anxiety when I’m travelling. Josephine is thoughtful, trustworthy, and deeply caring. I’m so grateful that she is able to care for my little ladies when I’m gone, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for high quality pet care.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for many years from dogs to a diabetic kitty that needed shots. I have also cared for goats and chickens , that was a new one but I loved them too. I clean houses most mornings and am free to help with your pets most afternoons and evenings. I would be available early morning as well. I would take excellent care of your pets in your home and have many references. I like to sing silly songs to them and earn there trust.
About: Growing up with border collies, I’ve always been an active dog person. As an adult, I’ve owned an Aussie and a golden, so fetch and long walks are my speciality. Weekend and holidays work best for me. I work full time away from home during the week. I prefer to board dogs over the weekend or holiday to give your dog my fullest attention. I have a fenced in yard with a tall fence and a very friendly 1 year old golden retriever. I have no issues with dogs getting on the furniture and having full access of the house and yard.
About: I've been around animals my entire life. From volunteering at shelters, working with my local strays, to pet sitting for friends and family, I'm well equipped with the experience needed to care for all manner of furry companions. I am a college student taking online classes, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available for any care at any time Friday-Sunday. As for other parts of the week, I am flexible and would love to discussing scheduling to provide the best care for your pet's needs. I currently have three cats and two dogs. Alongside routine care, they all receive ample play time and cuddles (and perhaps a treat or two.) Tending to them is a natural and fulfilling part of my routine and I love them all dearly. When I get to a client's home, it's important that I take the same thoughtful approach when weaving their animals into my day-to-day schedule. I'll treat them as if they're my own, with attentiveness and care

Heather comes highly recommended by all who know her I trust her as an excellent animal sitter, and walker . Norah J S.”
Emma W.
“I’ve known Emma for a couple of years now, and when she’s caring for my dog, I feel completely at ease. That says a lot coming from me—I’m very selective about who I trust with my pets. But with Emma, I have complete confidence. She’s calm, patient, and her genuine love for animals is apparent. Emma is dependable and communicates consistently. She sends regular updates with photos and videos, which gives me so much peace of mind. She’s also provided drop-in care for my cat and has never missed a visit. I can always count on her to show up and follow through with every detail, and send an update after each visit. She makes sure my dog gets plenty of outdoor time—whether it’s long walks or playtime in her yard. Her own dog is sweet and playful, and the two of them get along beautifully. They love chasing each other around and wrestling, which is always a joy to see. I’ve relied Emma with both short visits and extended stays, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, and truly cares for your pets as if they were her own, Emma is that person.”

“Iliyah was very sweet and accommodating! Will definitely get her again when the time comes ! I loved how communicative she was and she took good care of my babies”
Mary O.
“Mary is amazing. She had taken care of my girls a few times and my girls loves her. She goes above and beyond. Definitely recommend Mary 100%.”
Avary G.
“Avary has watched our fur babies on multiple occasions. We have dogs and cats and I completely trust her with them. I love the photos she takes. Our 3 cats are not super trusting vit Avary has taken her time with them and they don't hide anymore. The dogs are always happy to see her. Knowing she is watching them definitely makes leaving them at home less stressful.”
