“Hi Shannon was great! She came to meet the dogs ahead of time and review our requests. Shannon was comfortable with them, and they could tell she was a friend. Shannon sent pictures, which was a nice touch. We will request Shannon again without hesitation.”
“Jessica was very friendly and easy to work with. I have 3 feral like cats so they didn’t come out much. I was very confident that she took care of them and secured the house and everything. Thanks Jessica!!!”
“Sarah is GREAT! Accommodating, friendly, & a wonderful match to our dog. So happy to have her and appreciate all she did to prepare for her visits with our pup. Thank you so very much Sarah & we hope to have you again 🐾”
“Heather is extremely professional and checked in and out on-time everyday! She provided pictures and written status up dates everyday as well! We highly recommend Heather and will be booking her for our Ayg and Sept vacation”
“Lauren goes above and beyond to take care of your pets. She is responsible, timely, and communicative. When an issue arose while I was away Lauren took it upon herself to solve it. She made me feel at ease while being away from my kitties because I knew she would not only make sure they got their medicine, but that they received pets and love. I almost want to gatekeep her because she is THAT good.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of my cats and fish again. Excellent communication, went above and beyond to ensure everyone had what they needed, and thankful for pictures of happy kitties every day”
“Max has been really great to work with! She’s better cats on a couple occasions now and is always a fast responder, communicative, and kind enough to check in on our cats with very short notice. Happy to recommend.”
“HIGHLY recommend Kelsey. My wife and I just adopted a 3 month old puppy, and I was incredibly anxious about 1) having someone come into our home and 2) making sure our pup gets the proper care and attention he needs. She quickly put all my anxiety to rest. We return to our home the way we left it, and she cares for and LOVES our pup as if he was her own. 10/10 would recommend”
About: I have had pets all of my life. I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes. My kids (9, 6, and 4) are also used to dogs and are gentle with them. I am a teacher so I am at work from 8-3:30. During the summer, I am home most of the time. Additionally, I would be able to let the dogs free in the house during the day. We have a small yard in the front but a large side yard that the dogs would be able to enjoy. We also have a lead in the yard if the dogs would like to stay outside for extended periods. We have one dog in our home but she is used to other dogs as my family has six dogs when we are all together. We also have a cat but he typically goes into a room alone. Additionally we have gates in our home so that the dogs can stay on the floor that we are on if necessary. We have a pretty consistent schedule and I only work ten minutes from our house. So, I can stop home if necessary to care for the dogs. We have a large size yard which has a large lead in order to let the dogs roam and relax. We also take our dog for a walk in the morning, after work, and after the kids go to bed.
About: I have been a vet tech for 10 years. I have had dogs my entire life! I believe I excel in reading animals. I can usually tell what they’re going to do before they do it. I excel in administering meds, glucose checks, injections, fluids, etc. I form a great bond with most animals shortly after meeting them 💕😺🐶 I am a cat expertise but excel in doggy care as well! This is something I do on the side. I would like to pick up extra side jobs for the mornings, evenings, and some weekends. I typically work from 930-6 and am unavailable during those hours. I do sometimes get week days off. I am also very adamant about ensuring my patients at work are comfortable with me. Everything I do I try to do “fear free”. This is a well known term in the veterinary community. I believe that comfortability and mutual respect is the most important exchange between us and animals.
“Savanah is great! She has a good rapport with the dogs, who seem to really like her, and she's very conscientious. She also communicates well: she responds promptly and does a great job of taking photos and sending updates. Highly recommend.”
“Kara was great! She promptly communicated throughout the entire process and gave Lucy lots of extra love and attention. She was a happy pup when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Emma was amazing! She watched my cat for a whole month while I was gone. She was able to do everything I asked of her including looking after my house and taking care of my plants in addition to pet duties. Plus my cat immediately warmed up to her. Highly recommend! Will be using her again in the future.”
About: Hello, My name is Jayne and I would love to help you! I’ve had cats and had a childhood dog my whole life.

I can feed, provide water, clean litter, walks, and overall companionship in your home or mine. Would love to provide a safe environment with any animal.

Christopher C.Star Sitter
“Christopher is absolutely a fantastic sitter. I love getting the Rover cards and pictures with every visit. We had absolute peace of mind while on our trip.”
Kasey C.
“Kasey provides excellent, trustworthy pet care. Her expertise as a Vet Tech for over 10 years is why I do not trust anyone else with my pets. Whether you need pet care while you are away, need help with nail trims, or need assistance with medicating your animals, your mind will be at ease the moment you hire Kasey. She took amazing care of my geriatric cat over the years. He was traumatized from one bad nail trim in the past and he always trusted Kasey and allowed her to perform nail trims. She truly has a natural ability to bond with animals. I highly recommend her.”
