We are so lucky that Kaylee was able to watch our dog and cat while we were gone. She took such great care of them and really eased my anxiety about going away. She took such great care of our home too. I will be booking Kaylee again for sure, and highly recommend her as a pet sitter.

Julianna was wonderful! She was communicative, quick to respond, and right on time for Georgia’s drop-in visits. She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!

Paz did a great job. She pays very close attention to detail, even going so far as to take lots of notes during our meet and greet. My dog is reactive so needs special care around other dogs. Paz followed my directions and safely navigated around the problems. She was also willing to take care of my dog despite having a sudden bout of diarrhea that started the day before her visit. Lots of pictures and excellent communication.

About: As the mother of a 3 year old neutered Dalmatian and as a Veterinary Technician I come with the knowledge of wellness and emergency care as well as the exercise needs of your baby! You have a puppy or kitten that wants to play all day long ? No problem! I can teach him/her some basic training/tricks such as sit, stay, and the command “drop it” for safety reasons! (It can be both English and Spanish since I’m fluent on both languages!). You have a senior dog/cat that prefers to cuddle and sleep all day? We can do that as well! I am flexible regardless of age and breed! I can administer medication based on your preference and needs of your pet as well as feed and provide water as needed! My goal is to help your pet feel loved and at peace while you as the owner, get to have peace of mind with who your pet is with! *I provide a smoke, alcohol, and drug free home as well as a play mate if necessary for your dog!* *If your dog or cat is not dog friendly that’s no problem for boarding at my home! Both my dog and your pet can be separated upon request!* I have an open schedule throughout the week based on your needs as a client and the needs of your pet regardless of the time in the day! I provide a peaceful and quiet environment that fits perfect for an anxious pet but also a very nearby dog park within my apartment complex where your dog can run around for as long as they’ll like! I’m flexible for your needs and requests!

Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and still love to have them in my life. I am experienced with all sizes of dogs and comfortable with cats of all ages. I have experience in raising neonatal kittens through medication administration to older pets. I am active and enjoy walking and would love to have your furry friend be my companion. I'm also happy to sit with a friendly cat for some pets and snuggles. My pets are my furry children and are spoiled and I would love to be able to help spoil yours when you aren't around. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to come early in the morning to later at night to help make sure your pet is happy. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me the freedom to be available to help provide care for pets and reassure owners. I love spending time with pets, getting to know their personalities, interact with their owners, and provide reassurance that your pet is in good hands. I have fostered cats from a few days old through older cats with medical needs. I grew up with dogs and am comfortable with all sizes. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, providing medication including injections, and handling animals that may be wary of strangers.

Liz is absolutely wonderful. We intend to use her any time for our dog sitting needs. She came on time, stayed at least the requested amount of time. She is a true animal lover and our dogs loved her back, she made easy friends with them. She provided us great peace of mind. I highly recommend her.

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. My journey started with pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family in middle school and grew to volunteering at local animal shelters and working in a boarding kennel to currently working as a vet assistant while at school, pursing a pre-veterinary science degree, giving me experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. At home I have a 14 year old beagle/boston terrier named Pepper who I just adore. I cannot wait to share my experience and love for animals with your pets while you are away :) As am currently home from school for the summer, my schedule is very open to care for your pets, so I am sure we would be able to work something out. I cannot wait to spend my summer caring for new furry friends!! I understand that it can be strange for our pets when a new person comes in the house, so I encourage owners to reach out to schedule a meet and greet so I can meet your four legged friends before you are gone, making the process less stressful for everyone involved.

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. My father trained dogs in the army and continued throughout his life. I currently have 3 rescue dogs, Marley (lab), Marshall (terrier mix), and Chester (Chihuahua). I also have 3 rescue cats, Tiger (orange tabby), Tabby (calico), and Boots (3 legged tuxedo). Other pets I have had/cared for include Birds, hamsters, fish, hermit crabs, & axolotl’s. I’m also a mom of two! I’m a special education school teacher on summer break!! My youngest daughter is 11, so I have more freedom and spare time on my hands. I love being outside and meeting your animals. Any pet that enters my home or if I enter theirs will be treated as if they are my own. Being that I am a schoolteacher all of my clearances are up-to-date. I have a large fenced in yard. My pets are used to meeting you animals and typically very friendly!! I’m also very used to cleaning up any kind of pet messes as well as administering any type of medication needed.

Robyn was absolutely phenomenal! I was going away on a work trip and feeling a bit anxious about leaving my kitties for an extended period of time as I was going cross-country. This was the first time I was doing this along with using a cat sitter. At the suggestion of a dear friend, I signed up for Rover and Robyn put me at ease immediately. From our first meetup, I knew I made a great decision. She was very thorough in taking pictures and checking in with me and also followed my directions I left for her. I also noted her thoughtfulness and attention to detail and care. She treated my cats with dignity and love and even my dad was in awe of what a great job she was doing in my absence. I will definitely use Robyn’s services again! She is a gem and Rover is so lucky to have her!
