“Working w Jessica was a breeze. The cats were well cared for. We came home to happy cats w/o any accidents (we have a disabled cat). She even made sure our plants were watered & happy. I’d recommend Jessica time & again!”
“I am so extremely grateful right now. Hunter is the best match for my dog snow. Thank you so much for everything that you’re doing for me. I cannot even begin to thank you enough.”
“It was our first time using Rover to find someone to stop in daily to feed our cat "Missy" her wet food while we were away for the week. Elena gave us daily update's along with photo's of Missy at each visit. It was a comfort to us knowing that Missy was getting the attention and human contact she craves, along with feeding her favorite wet food. I would highly recommend Elena as a dependable pet sitter.

About: I have been fostering puppies and senior dogs since high school!

I want to make sure that dogs feel comfortable with me so if I am house sitting it’s important that I make my presence known, provide necessities, and make sure the environment is safe
“Alyssa is truly a kind and genuine individual and you can tell just by meeting her and speaking with her that she really cares for animals.
