“Sasha was literally incredible. This is the first time I've ever used Rover and I was scared; we've all heard the horror stories about this app, but I am so grateful for Sasha! My dog loves her and I fully trust her with him. If you need a dog sitter, I highly suggest Sasha! 🐾❤️”
“This is our second time having Tiffany watch our boys and she did a fantastic job again. Tiffany is communicative, responsive, and clearly caring with our 3 pups. Will continue to use her as much as possible!”
“It can be hard to leave your pup with someone new, but Melisa put our minds at ease. Even after meeting a pup with many "quirks," Melisa was confident about spending the weekend with her. She sent updates all weekend and we came home to the happiest puppy. We would absolutely use her again!”
About: I’m a semi-retired registered nurse with over 10 years of home and pet sitting experience, including pets with special medical needs requiring medicine and insulin injections. I am semi-retired and I am available for daytime pet visits on my days off or around my work schedule. I am available anytime for overnight sitting. I care for the pets as the client wishes, to help maintain normalcy and reduce anxiety and stress for the pet while the client is away.
“If you are looking for a caretaker for your pet, give Jim the opportunity to assist. Jim watched my German Shepherd, Levi, for a few days and he did a BRILLIANT job! Jim provided updates and pictures of my happy pooch! Jim did everything I asked and MORE! If you want to have someone who listens and does what is asked, look no further! I couldn't be happier with Jim's care of my very needy, Levi! I will definitely plan future getaways with Jim in the near future! OUTSTANDING! JOB WELL DONE!”
“Brooklyn was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away, and it was clear they were happy, relaxed, and well-loved the entire time. She kept the house tidy, sent us regular photo updates, and even went above and beyond by picking up some dog food and offering to help with things like taking out the trash. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands. We highly recommend Brooklyn and would definitely book her again!”
“Daniel was amazing! Our girl Arya loved him and I felt so happy that there was someone there while I was gone that loved her as much as we do. He was always responsive and sent updates and pictures each day. He was really adaptable to her changing energy levels and made sure she was engaged! She can play rough sometimes and will use all 50lbs to her advantage and I felt safe knowing she was in good hands! He even tidied up our space while here, which was an unexpectedly thoughtful gesture. Absolutely recommend!”
“Tabatha was great! She house sat while we were out of town and took great care of all three of our dogs. We had to extend our trip a night and she extended her stay. We would love for her to watch for us again!”
“Sky was amazing with my dogs. She took such good care of them sent me photo's every day. I really feel that she cared for my babies like they were her own. I would highly, highly recommend Skyler for your pet sitting needs.”
“Kaylie was awesome when watching our house and pups. We have 4 animals that all require a bunch of attention, including daily medication. She sent us daily updates and multiple pictures throughout the day which eased our anxiety of leaving the state.”
“Hands-down, the best cat and house sitter we ever had. Our “baby“ needs a lot of human attention, and she stepped up to the task, seldom leaving and returning promptly. She also took great care of the house and left no mess. First time we’ve been able to fully relax while traveling, knowing our Pickles was being pampered.”
“Amera took great care of our dogs! She was always on time and understanding of our requests and our dogs normal routines. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone you can trust with your pups.”
“Thanks to Elizabeth, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worry and stress about what is happening with our furry family member! We had regular updates and really felt like our dog was in good hands, right at home with Elizabeth. Thanks for everything!”
