Great communication and able to fit in a last-minute intro meeting before my trip without issue. Seemed great with handling my anxious pup right out the gate. This was the first time I’ve used Rover and Erik gave me peace of mind throughout.

About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I believe pets deserve a high quality of care. I have adopted dogs and cats in the past. At the moment I only have cats and miss having a doggy friend to walk and give rubs. I am comfortable with all sizes of animals and whatever special needs they may have, just wanna keep the fur babies happy. Currently my schedule allows me to be available: Saturdays and Sundays 10am-7pm Mondays-Friday 8am-6pm If you need different time accommodations message me and I can see what I can do. I don’t offer pet sitting in my home because of my 3 cats. I don’t want to create a stressful environment for any animals. In my clients home I will make sure they have plenty of exercise thru play and going for walks, clean water and sufficient food (accommodating special diet if necessary). Provide a safe environment for them to feel comfortable. I will abide to any and all rules the client has for their home and will keep my own footprint in their home small and clean up after myself.

Avri was perfect for our little puppy!! She brought her 1 year old dog to socialize and even sent me pictures and video updates from their play time! We can’t wait to hire her in the future for our fur baby!

I am a first time user of this ap and service. I chose Ashleigh based to do a drop in a couple of times a day for a couple days. Ashleigh stopped to meet our dog before the initial drop in started which really helped in easing some nervousness about using this service for the first time. Once the drop ins started Ashleigh was amazing in sending me updates and photos and letting me know how our dog was doing. It was comforting getting so many photos for every drop in and knowing everything was going well. I would recommend Ashleigh to anyone thinking about using this service. I will definitely request her services again. She was truly great!

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

We used Leanne for drop-in visits to let the dogs out for their noon potty break. It worked out great. She gave me photos with updates that all was well. It gave me peace of mind while I was away that the dogs needs were being attended to.

We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Walter while we were away. Megan went above and beyond during every drop-in visit to make Walter and us feel comfortable. She made sure he was fed and cared for and also gave him genuine attention, playtime, and affection. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind on vacation. It was obvious how much she truly cares about animals, and Walter absolutely adored her. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

About: I have dog sat for everyone I know. I am the first person someone asks to dog sit. I provide lots of care, attention, and play for dogs. I enjoy walking and spending time with as many dogs as possible! I’m currently available early afternoon’s on weekdays. I work in the schools so I am free when students have no school. My weekends are also very open. I have a field with trees near my apartment that dogs seem to absolutely love! I live alone with no animals so all attention and focus will be on the doggie!

Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.

About: I have experience pet sitting as well as currently working at a Doggy Daycare/Boardinh facility! I grew up on a farm, so I am used to working with animals, and I also have pets of my own! I have taken care of a large variety of pets, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I am also used to giving medication to pets that require it! I currently am working part time at a pet care facility, so I would love to incorporate more pet care into my life! I am happy to help wherever I can, however early or late needed! I have a great ability to read a pets body language and help them get used to me when visiting them in home. I also understand boundaries and love walking pets, while also keeping them under control and safe!

Nadine is fabulous— when I arrived home after my trip, my cats were their usual happy selves, so I know they were well cared for by Nadine! She was very conscientious about prescriptions, litter, & treats and also did the little extras like closing curtains at night, playing with their toys. Highly recommend!

Nadine was wonderful! She followed our routines and even got us photos of our shy cats for the daily check-ins. Nadine stopped in daily with our two cats and took care of their needs plus helped us with a few other things like getting the garbage out and bringing in packages. The biggest plus is that it is a day later and our cats have returned to our standard routines with no problems. They seemed to have missed us, but Nadine did everything they are used to and we picked up right where we left off. We will reach out Nadine the next time we need to travel again.

Great service. She is very personable and left great pictures every day. She also collected my mail and watered a few plants. When I came home a little early she fixed the booking online so I didn't have to pay for unused visits. I recommend her highly.
