“Kelli was excellent as always. She is a great communicator and its very reliable. She adapts well to problems when they come up and we are eternally grateful to have her.”
“Did an amazing job in such short notice. Kept in close contact with us about when she got to our house and what was going on. Gave us pics to make sure all was right with our 4 dogs. We will definitely use her again.”
“Jordan was absolutely amazing!! I’m new to town and needed to find a new cat sitter quickly for a trip. She made me feel comfortable with her presence and my cat adores her (and she adores no one). Thank you for caring so well for my baby!!”
“Joseph is great! This was our first time using Rover. Our cat Walter loved him! Joseph was always on time and sent us photos and updates promptly! Highly recommend”

About: Ever since I was little, i’ve taken care of dogs that are stray as my own, i’ve raised my own dogs of many types of breeds including shitzu, pitbull, yorkie, etc. and i’ve known to take care of them in the serious moments when they’re sick and know how to handle medication, and in the best moments in playtime with non stop energy! At the moment, I am out of school for the summer and I am working part-time but with no set schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies, and I offer drop-ins as well. Just send me a message and we can figure something out! We used to crate our dogs but we’ve recently stopped, but I can do that if those are your rules. I take care of my own cat switching her litter box every 1-2 weeks, feeding her 2 times a day, I brush her fur and have toys for her as well! With my dogs, they also get fed 2 times a day, they get walked most days, and they have their own grass potty area, and they have plenty of toys (lol).
“So appreciative of Grace and her care for my furbabies while I was away. I loved her check-ins and sweet photos she took of them and knew they were in great hands!!! Highly recommend!!”
“Olivia was very communicative, friendly, and did great with Yoshi and the cats! All the animals warmed up to her right away and she was able to manage Yoshi’s ridiculous puppy energy really well! Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Sandy was super accommodating, responsive and very sweet. I could tell she really listened to my detailed instructions for both my dogs haha would definitely book again!”
“I couldn’t have been more thankful for the service Bailee provided. She is a very caring individual and you can tell she has a love for animals. I felt relaxed and comfortable while being away from my fur baby. As this was the first trip I have been able to take I will be definitely rebooking with Bailee in the future! She was an amazing provider and very informative! Followed all directions perfectly!”
“Anne-Marie is wonderful. My cat can be a little cautious when she meets new people, but at first sight, she walked right up to her asking for pets. She was on time every day and provided a variety of pictures to let me know my cat was in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
“Sarah was an absolute godsend! We booked her last minute after our regular pet-sitter had to cancel, and she went above and beyond! The mission: medicate our orange cat twice daily. The challenge: she has one brain cell, and it is devoted entirely to avoiding people she doesn't know. Sarah met the challenge admirably, leaving incredibly informative and entertaining notes and detailing the trials and tribulations of medicating a 12 pound anxiety-machine who wants nothing less than to take her medicine. Despite the sure difficulty, Sarah managed to get her medicated twice a day every day. Finding someone reliable and trustworthy to medicate Toni has always been a struggle in the past, but I'm so glad we connected with Sarah, because it one thing we won't have to worry about in the future!”
“Emily dropped in once a day to check on our two cats for several days while we were away. She is EXCELLENT with communication. We never had a doubt that our cats werent getting enough love with Emily. 10/10 would ask Emily to cat-sit again! Thanks Emily!”
About: I've had pets since I was 10, and each one has had a significant impact on my life. That's why I now want to dedicate myself to helping them, because I believe they mean so much to me. When my family traveled, they always entrusted their pets to me because they saw how important they are to me I could work part-time after 3 pm, which is when my regular job allset, but if I'm ever needed full-time, I'd also be willing to cover the entire schedule, and I'm available on weekends as well. I have a large house, I also have space behind the house, and if you want me to keep your pet in a cage or something you tell me to, I would just obey your rules
About: I've looked after animals since I was a kid. I love cats and dogs alike and would look after them for loved ones and neighbors. I have a flexible schedule right now. I am currently looking for a more stable job but I have lots of experience working with animals and I know how to handle them with respect and safety. I like to visit the dogs in there own homes and take them for walks. I let to dog tell me what they need usually depending on energy levels. If they have a lot of energy I'll take them out longer or if they don't want to move I would take them as long as it took for them to relieve themselves and then I will engage them in play.
“Heather was AMAZING with my 2 puppies! I have never left them alone at home before overnight and after meeting Heather I knew they would be well taken care of! Heather went above and beyond with updates and pictures. I will definitely schedule with Heather again, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services! Saje and Jesa will her visits for sure! :)”

Sarah has been taking care of my kitties whenever I’m out of town for the past year, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She is kind, thoughtful, and attentive, and her notes are always detailed and reassuring. I feel completely at ease knowing my cats are being so well cared for while I’m away. I recommend her 100%!
I feel so lucky to have found Courtney to watch my two cats when I did, and to continue working with her. She first began to watch the boys when I had to take an overseas trip, and after our first meeting, the cats trusted her and I personally felt confident and comfortable enough to ask her to take care of them for me while I was in another country. She is a wonderful, kind, communicative, and responsible sitter who immediately made me feel at ease when we first met. I cannot recommend her enough!
Dustin is the absolute best! It’s only because of him I was able to leave for two weeks and enjoy time with my loved ones for the holidays. He is trustworthy, consistent, and reliable. He was patient with my girl, Marshmallow, and accommodated to her needs. My family and I are so grateful for Dustin, and I plan to rebook him in the future.
Steven is friendly, punctual, followed our instructions, and went above and beyond. We (and our kitties) are thoroughly satisfied with his pet sitting. Our super shy cat who usually always hides even took a shine to him. 5 out of 5 stars, I would hire again and recommend!
