“Karah took great care of our dog while we were away! She was very sweet and professional. We will definitely use her services again!”


2. Jacqui G.

“Jacqui did great with our cat, Flower. We were gone for a week and Flower seemed very at ease when we came home. Jacqui went above & beyond making sure our porch light was on/off when necessary & bringing in our mail. She was on time for every visit & sent photos/updates through out the week. She also responded to texts very fast which was relieving because our service was choppy. We will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”


3. Ella N.
“I’ve known Ella Novakowski over 18 years. I wholeheartedly recommend Ella as a dog caregiver for Rover! She had always had a dog(s) for a pet. Her family raises Labrador retrievers. I’ve observed Ella feeding, cleaning crates, training and loving on the puppies to socialize them for their new homes. She loves our 3 Cairn terriers and enjoys taking them for walks. Ella also cares for her chickens and trained her dogs not to chase them. She also learned to ride on my horse and quickly became a confident rider and was able to safely load and unload my horse in the trailer and care for him. Ella has an excellent work ethic, she is a mature and responsible caregiver for dogs and other animals.”


4. Amy P.


“Amy was great!! This was my first time going away since I got the kittens shortly after lockdown started. They’re a year old and had never known me to be gone longer than half a day. I was worried about how they’d handle me being gone for over a week, but Amy took good care of them and they adapted quickly and went to her for attention. Her updates made it much easier for me to be away!”


5. Krista K.

“This is the second time Krista has taken care of Ziggy and Marley. She is great with them and excellent at letting me know how the visits go.”


6. Justice A.

“Very professional! Justice did a wonderful job of providing drop-in care for our two cats while we were away. Her communication is excellent.”


7. Michelle G.
“I would highly recommend Michelle as a very capable and caring doggie caregiver. She has adopted 2 strays into her home permanently and is always willing to add another whenever the occasion arises that someone needs their pet looked after for a couple hours or a couple of months! She loves on the dogs in her care and would be a very responsible dog walker, dog sitter or whatever was needed for your family pet.”


8. Makynna L.
“If you’re looking for a dependable person to care for your fur babies, I would hands down recommend Makynna! We know her and her family personally and they are all amazing, caring people. We’ve had Makynna pet sit for us on several occasions. We never had to worry about the care our doggie received while we were out of town and we knew she even went above and beyond to give him extra love to ease his anxiety.”
