“Isabella was absolutely amazing. She was so communicative while we were out of town. We even have a little issue with one of our cats and she handled it flawlessly! We couldn’t be happier with Isabella!”
“Davianna was wonderful. She came over for a meet and greet before the date I needed her to be watched over so she wouldn't be a stranger to my pet when the day came. During the entire time she took care of my pet, she sent multiple daily updates along with pictures so me and my wife could see how our pet was doing. It left us a peace of mind since this was the first time I needed someone to watch over my pet that wasn't my family. Davi will be considerate of how your pet has been accustomed at home and will work to make sure they're comfortable, especially when they're staying in a new environment. I highly recommend Davi if you need someone caring and considerate to watch your pet!”
“Peter was an amazing sitter dropping in on my cat Topo a few times! He was very communicative the whole time. He gave a run down of everything he did with and for Topo will be using Peter more!”
“Gwen took great care of my two cats while I was out of town. She was responsive and the boys loved her. I’d definitely recommend Gwen, and would have her take care of my pets again.”
“Justin has been amazing with our dogs! He stayed overnight with them and has also walked them, and we’ve had a great experience every time. He’s reliable, sends plenty of pictures and updates, and it’s clear he genuinely loves and cares for our pups. We always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“We were looking for a dog sitter who had plenty of flexibility because our schedule is absolutely crazy right now, and when I came across Isaac’s profile, he had exactly what we were looking for—open availability and 10 years of experience! We set up a meet-and-greet on short notice, and Isaac was incredibly accommodating. He came to our home to meet our 9-week-old Boxer puppy, Harley, and I immediately felt comfortable with him. We went over Harley’s schedule, feeding instructions, and routine, and Isaac spent time playing with him. Harley warmed up to him right away, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him in Isaac’s care. After the meet-and-greet, we booked our first visit for the very next day. Isaac messaged me as soon as he arrived, got Harley out to play and go potty, and kept me updated throughout his entire visit. He sent pictures and updates while they played and went through Harley’s routine, which gave me so much peace of mind. Having a 9-week-old puppy is definitely a lot, especially with our unpredictable schedule, but Isaac has been wonderful about working with us and keeping us updated. I really appreciate how dependable, communicative, and comfortable he made both Harley and me feel. I would absolutely recommend Isaac to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, flexible, and genuinely caring with their pets. We’re so happy we found him!”
“Maria was amazing. She watched our cat Rocky. She sent tons of pictures and videos and I could tell he was comfortable, relaxed and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again!”
About: I've had dogs all my life. I absolutely love being around animals and have had experience with small and large dogs young and old. I've also cared for special needs animals including dogs with epilepsy and spinal injuries. Animals seem to gravitate to me which is one thing I feel would make me great in this business. I'm particularly fond of larger breeds but really enjoy anytime with dogs.I don't currently have any dogs but do have 4 cats; Loki, Anakin, Drax, and Harvey.

I treat both the pet and the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: I've had pets my entire life, and I adore dogs and cats of all ages- puppies through seniors. I'm very patient with my pet care. My own dog is a senior (12 years old) and I make sure that his health is the best it can be. He's happy, healthy, and secure. I've owned and taken care of elderly dogs or ones that need special care, I've tricked them into take every kind of pill you can think of, and will happily play with them for as long as they need to get the Zoomies out. Your fur baby is in excellent hands with me! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to check in, sit with, play with, or walk your fur babies on the days I'm available. I love caring for dogs and cats! I'll make sure that your pet has everything they need. I'll be sure to follow any instructions given to me. Your pet's safety and comfort are of utmost importance, and if you place trust in me by allowing me into your home, I'll make sure it's repaid tenfold. Thank you!

Ava did such a great job watching our kitty while we were on honeymoon for 2 weeks! She worked with my shy cat and gave him plenty of exercise and made him feel safe while we were away. She’s super flexible and helpful! Hope I can book her again for my next trip.
Camryn was absolutely awesome! She dropped in on my babies for 4 days while I took a mini birthday trip. Camryn checked in on my boys, sent pics and sent updates. She was very attentive to my boys and how they were feeling. She respected my babies and my house. I absolutely recommend using Camryn’s services! Thank you Camryn!
Patti, as always, does a fantastic job with my cats. Bart is not one to come out for "anyone" but myself and my husband, but she finally got him to come out and sit for a while. LIsa is always happy to see her. This was the longest time we have every been away from them and she did such an amazing job caring for them. Thank you and would highly recommend her.
Callie was incredible with my cats! She’s a great communicator and willing to help with whatever I needed. It gave me peace of mind knowing Stevie and Louise were getting taken care of while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for quality care!
This was my first time using Rover and the first time leaving my two cats alone, so I’ll admit I was a bit nervous and anxious. Patricia was amazing, she kept me updated the entire time and sent photos, which really helped me feel at ease. She was very professional and patient. One of my cats is extremely shy, and on the last day he even let her pet him, which truly surprised my husband and me. I would definitely rebook with Patricia without hesitation. Highly recommend!
