Paul was amazing! He was quick to respond and sent several photos/updates. With it being 4th of July weekend, we were happy that Paul was willing to spend the night and ease the pups anxiety with the loud noises. Thank you Paul for watching our pups on short notice, especially on a holiday weekend!

Abby was a fantastic sitter for our elderly cat, Bob, who has some pretty high snuggle needs. She went out of her way to introduce herself in person before our trip, asking thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Bob's routine and personality. While we were away, she was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions, giving us regular updates that made us feel so at ease. Bob seemed to warm up to Abby quickly, and it was clear he was well cared for while we were gone. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us true peace of mind. We’d absolutely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable pet sitter!

Lisa is super sweet and was very diligent about sending pics of my sweet babies! I know my dogs (especially one in particular) can be kind of a shy guy and she was able to coax him out and by the end of the stay he was sitting in close proximity to her. I’d definitely recommend Lisa and will be using her again!

Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.

About: I have been grooming now for over 19 years and working for 8 years as a veterinary technician. I love working with all kinds of animals! I can handle any medication requirements while you are gone and would love to spend time with your furry pal while you are away. I’m available throughout the week or weekends to help with your fur baby. I do work but not everyday throughout the week. I do all I can to make sure the pets needs are taken care of daily. We have 1 older dogs that lay around a lot and a 1 year old golden that loves everyone! We also have 2 cats that love to sun bathe!
