Izabelle was wonderful! She came over before to meet my girls. They loved her! She sent me photos of them and they appeared to be enjoying themselves. I would hire Belle again for sure!

Brianna is great! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little worried about leaving our cat with someone new. Brianna was great at communication and was so patient with all our follow ups and questions that we had along the way! 10/10 would recommend

Kevin has been helping us with my aunt's cat who needs daily medication. He is professional, friendly, quick to respond, and most importantly, Cleo is getting her pills. He also sends us a photo of her after each visit which we find funny (she doesn't look too happy after being pilled but she does have a lot of attitude!) and also comforting to know she is being taken care of by someone who knows what he is doing and enjoys it.

Allyson was a wonderful caregiver for my Sunny boy. She sent pictures every day and seemed to capture every mood of his. She is a polite young woman who cares about animals and it shows. My Sunny warmed up to her and let her pet him. I would recommend Allyson if you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. I have complete confidence in her and would use her again. 😽👍👍

Kerri is an excellent communicator who always keeps us updated with detailed messages and pictures, so we feel at ease while we're away. She goes above and beyond to make sure our cats feel loved and well cared for, and we couldn't ask for a better sitter!

Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! She was able to watch our cat on very short notice and accommodated us so quickly and kindly. From the start, she was thoughtful, prompt, and followed all of our directions perfectly. This was our first time leaving our little fur baby, and Allyson immediately put us at ease. She truly is a cat whisperer. Our cat is usually shy and hides from new people, but he came out right away when she arrived for her drop ins! That alone says so much about her calm, welcoming presence. She made our cat feel completely comfortable. Allyson also sent us daily updates with multiple pictures, which we really appreciated. She was a joy to work with, and we will definitely ask her to pet sit again in the future!

Lauren was able to help out even though my request was very last minute. She was prompt with responses, and sent photos of my pup even when I didn’t request for them, which made me feel better to be away from my pup.

About: I have 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, from young pets needing extra attention to seniors requiring more gentle, specialized care. My experience includes feeding routines, walks, litter box changes and cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and maintaining each pet’s normal schedule to keep them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work at a school as a para/CNA so I am available for late afternoons after 3:15pm, evenings, weekends, holiday breaks, and summer break! I provide attentive in-home pet care so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I care for both yoga and cats with services including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box changes or cleaning, medication support if needed, and lots of companionship. I prioritize keeping pets safe, stress-free, and happy while maintaining their normal schedule and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

Josie did a wonderful job with our two cats, Ziggy and Bluma. She was punctual, followed all our instructions, and even gave some additional TLC to both cats. She kept in touch with us and sent us summaries and pictures of each visit in our home. We are absolutely happy with her work.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life - my own growing up on the family farm, as well as for family, friends and neighbors. I’m currently working full-time during the week but have a flexible schedule that allows for regular drop in visits. Boarding services available on weekends and weekdays after 3 pm. I have a very friendly, large dog and we enjoy taking multiple walks every day and playing in the yard (not fenced in). I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs and schedule as well.

Jessica did absolutely amazing with our American Bulldog Draco and cat Otis. Draco is a big anxious girl and Jessica handled her so much care! Our trip took an unexpected turn due to some weather and She was flexible with us and able to stop in an extra day which was a life saver. Thank you again for taking care of our babies and easing my anxiety too while being away from them!

About: Hi! My name is Allison, and I would love to care for your fur family member! I have grown up around dogs and have been the primary caretaker for our family pets. Not only have I cared for our family dogs (labs & golden retrievers), but I have also dog-sat and walked dogs for other family members and friends since I was 10 years old. I have experience with other animals as well. I am currently taking a summer college course (M-Th mornings) and have late morining though early evening availability. I have some weekend availability as well. I believe compassion, respect, and structure are the keys to keeping your pet safe. My goal is to do what is right for the animals in my care while building a good relationship with their human parents. I will treat your fur family members and their homes with respect and care.

Libby responded to my request quickly and was very accomodating with a last minute booking. When meeting with her, I was impressed with her cheerful & confident manner. She was comfortable giving my cat her medications and was happy to give me updates and pictures with each visit. I would definitely trust her in my home to care for Alice again!

Christina did a spectacular job of taking care of our two cats, including giving one of our cats an inhaler twice a day. She also sent pictures of her playing with and snuggling them, which I know they appreciated because they love attention. We will definitely book with her again!
