Laurelyn took good care of our two cats during our 14 day vacation. She took the time each day to make sure our cats had time on the screen porch and that our one cat got his daily drink from the faucet, along with watching our garden. We will use her as a sitter again for our future travels!

Krystal was FANTASTIC! She’s so kind and caring!! We asked her to take care of two adult cats while we were away for a few days. She came every day and even grabbed our mail! You should book her. I will in the future if we need the girls taken care of again. Krystal, thank you!!! On a scale of 1 to 10, 67/10, would recommend.

Felicitas did an amazing job taking care of my doggos. Both of them looked like they were loved and well taken cared of when we got home from vacation. My doggos loved her instantly and weren’t as stressed when we were gone.

My cat Lydia absolutely loved Jasmine. Lydia would even great her at the door and show her to her toys. Jasmine gives very good updates for her visits. The little details are nice to read. She takes excellent photos for the Rover cards. I saved a few to send to family. Will definitely book again as Lydia approves.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and love caring for pets of all kinds! I’ve helped care for stray cats and dogs growing up, have pet sitting experience, and I’m currently a cat mom myself. I’ll always make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away :) I work full-time, but I’m available after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I enjoy using my free time to care for pets, go on walks, and give them attention while owners are away. I live in an apartment with my own furbaby and I’m willing to go sit at your place or check in on the animals when needed.

About: Hi! I've worked with a lot of different sizes and breeds, as well as different temperaments when it comes to dogs and cats. I can also administer medications and take care of exotic fish or other animals if needed. A little bit about me: I am a very calm, patient, and dependable person with 5 lovely dogs between my husband and I( I had 3 and he had 2 when we met!). I’m a former RN currently at home while finishing up my Doctorate. I would love to get back in to walking, drop-in visits, and recently decided to try out out doggy daycare. We have a nice big backyard! I am open to learning and providing your pup with any accommodations that they may need during my visits and/or their stay. I understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe and loved. Feel free to ask any questions. I look forward to working with you! *I do have a toddler at home most days, so it is important that your dog is friendly with children when considering doggy day care. She will not join me for drop on visits or walks! I do my best to provide service at the times requested. I am very dependable, however I may suggest an alternate time if there is a conflict. I will make it work! I am very organized and respectful when making a visit to a pet parents home. I also make sure doors are locked and light are off when I leave.

Ashley went above and beyond while dropping in to check on our two cats while we were away!!! She had consistently great communication and photos, went the extra mile in every aspect, and displayed genuine care for them. We could not imagine recommending anybody else after our experience with Ashley!!

I cannot say enough about Dawn. She is very kind. I have an active Australian shepherd/ lab mix and needed some help for several days while dealing with family issue out of home. Dawn took to Penny super quick and I loved the visit summary and pics. I am sure Penny misses her already but I will definitely contact her again when needed. 5+ stars!!

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.

I have never seen our sassy bird take to someone as quickly as Ashley, he was putty in her hands when most of my family still can’t pick him up! She was extremely good about communicating with us which put us at ease knowing he was getting great care when we were far away. She kept his cage tidy and we could tell in the pictures how much he was enjoying his visits. We can’t recommend her enough and would hire her again in a heartbeat!
