“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with Daniel. He went above and beyond all of my expectations. He responded quickly to all of my messages and helped put my mind at ease. My cats absolutely adored him. I will absolutely be rebooking with Daniel if I ever have to leave town. I highly recommend him for all of your fur-babies needs.”
“Duane was excellent!!! He took great care and concern with our little ladies. He sent some great pictures and was super responsive! We are so grateful that we were able to book him! I will 100% use him again...I hope he is available!”
“Liz was amazing! This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit concerned how it would go. After finding Liz, and reading her reviews I was hopeful she would be a good fit for us. She was so sweet and you can tell she truly loves animals. When she came to meet our huskies, she was SO friendly and immediately bonded with them. She kept in great communication while we were away and sent lots of photos! I’ll definitely be using her services again. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to care for your furry friends when you’re gone, Liz is fantastic!”

About: I have been an animal sitter for several years and have loved every minute of it! I treat your fur babies how I would want my fur babies to be treated and loved. I currently work full time during the day. Over my animal sitting years, I make sure to take care of your animals in the morning before work, on my lunch break if needed and all evening after I get off of work. When I am with your fur babies, they get my full attention. I have stayed at clients homes with their animals several times over the last 8 years. I find it makes it easier for your fur babies to be in their own element while you are away.
