Shoelace absolutely adores Lucy! She did a great job of keeping me updated! Shoelace recently had surgery so she made sure to take extra care of her. Definitely would recommend!

Madison was amazing!! Our dog warmed up to her very quickly and she was very attentive to all of his needs. She took great photos of our dog and went out of her way to give our cat attention and make sure she was okay as well. I would definitely recommend Madison and use them again in the future!

Sara has been great during every visit with my cat Sonny, but this visit was exceptional. She was there on his birthday for the first night and made him a birthday cake out of his wet food.

Kara was very easy to work with and was very easy to reach! She is a great communicator and took good care of my cat! As a first time cat owner leaving for my first weekend, I was glad she was there to keep him company.

Catherine was amazing with my two elderly cats! I have a lot of anxiety about leaving them alone, especially since one of them needs an injected medication with his meals. Catherine was consistently communicative and is clearly a conscientious pet caregiver. Both cats warmed up to her very quickly and were very well taken care of while I was away.

There isn’t anyone else in the world I’d feel more comfortable leaving my fur baby with! Valerie’s love for all animals truly shines through in the many ways she cares for them. She has a true passion for every animal and treats them all as if they were here own. No matter if it is taking them my dog out for daily exercise or overnight visits, Valerie has cared for my pup for many years in all capacities. Knowing my baby is cared for with such love and someone with great animal care experience puts my heart at easy anytime I’ve needed help!

About: I have over 19 years of experience. I can help with Pet Walking and Pet Sitting. Over the years I have cared for (and loved .. and certainly have been loved by!) many dogs and cats (and other pets).. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets. Thank you .. I am excited to care for your pet (s) next! I love and treat your pets as though they are my own. I always like to spend as much time as possible your pets, whether the pets parents are working during the day, or the family is on vacation. Whether you prefer your dog (s) walked and/or playing in the yard-- or just a potty break and quality indoors playtime/hangout time... I'm excited to help; I am also available for overnight visits, if that's something you're interested in for your pets. I enjoy it, and it really bonds me with them (obviously the more time spent with them, the more comfortable the pets are with you). I love cats, too! Fish, you name it. I am new to the area, and looking to continue doing what I've done for 20 + years: My time is very flexible (*especially now just getting started) and prices are flexible. I like to spend as much time as possible with the pets! I am certainly willing to spend a lot of time with them. Excited to become fast friends with your pets! I do not live alone-- so I have always cared for pets in the client's home (or other friends and family) ... I will do whatever the client wants, and stick as close to the routine as possible; Dog walks, and/or playing with dogs inside the house (and in yards), and caring for cats inside the home are perfect. I am more than happy to adapt and do what pet parents ask, and love them as much as possible until they are back in your care.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life from dogs to cats to bunny’s and chickens. I am a huge animal lover. I’ve also had about seven years of experience with rover because my family did it while I was living at home and now that I’ve moved out I would like to do the same. I am currently working for a company called sherwin williams from 7-3 Monday through Friday but am available late afternoons, nights, and weekends and any days I may have off I’ve had two family dogs and five family cats. I currently own a cat right now she’s super sweet and great with other animals. I’ve dog sat for many friends and helped my family with their rover career so I have plenty experience with all different breeds.
