1. Ivy W.
“Ivy is amazing with animals! She has had dogs in her family since she was 5 years old and has a innate talent for interacting with them. She showers her pets with love and attention and is affectionately referred to as "the dog whisperer" at the dog park. She is extremely responsible taking care of her own pets as well as others. This past summer she worked at a doggie day care playing with the dogs and even shampooing and drying many of them in the grooming station. She has had experience with dogs of all sizes, shapes, and temperaments, and is very adept at knowing what they need and how to interact with them. I woud recommend Ivy to anyone who is looking for a loving and responsible pet caregiver.”

“I couldn’t be happier with finding Lauren. She saved me last minute when I was in a pinch with my frenchie. So friendly, communicative, and a true dog lover at heart. She is our first choice anytime we are leaving our Birdie for a short weekend, or need a reputable person to relieve her while we’re at work. Can’t recommend enough!!”

10. Kristin A.
“Kristin is an amazing care taker for pets. As a dog mom herself, she truly treats her dog as if it’s her own child. She has also watched my cat Trixie before and took great care of her and kept her safe and happy. I would recommend her care to any pet owner.”

12. Lisbeth R.
“Our family was looking for a cat sitter while we were away on vacation. It was just the weekend prior to our leaving and I still hadn’t found anyone. Fortunately Lisbeth responded to my request and I’m so happy she did!! She took great care in getting to know them, caring for them and communicating with me. I know they all felt comfortable around her. She provided peace of mind and it’s often hard to find. Thank you Lisbeth! We will see you again in August lol”

“Chris was great at looking after the dogs. He has great attention to detail and really cares for them. Always on time and does a fantastic job!”
18. Nadezhda G.
“I've used Nadya Gerdes's services many many times. She is reliable and punctual. Exceptionally good with my dogs (I have 3). She engages them in play and takes care of food and water. Highly recomended.”
19. Kaitlynn M.
“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”
20. Luke G.
“He has watched my rats on multiple occasions and has done a wonderful job of following instructions left to him. I am not worried as he sent picture updates daily. He made sure to play with them and even tried training them despite their reluctance to do that with me! All animals seem to be fond of Luke. If you give him a try, you won't regret it!”
