“Nerja was fantastic with my two cats! She gave them all the loves, and care. She gave them their medications and sent me so many pictures while I was on vacation. I loved seeing pictures of my babies while I’m gone. She was also great with our shy cat. 100% recommend her!”
“Jessica treats my pup great, he seems so happy when she comes for check ins! She always sends pictures and communicates how the visit went. I highly recommend her!”
“Alishea is so good with my pup! He is young and still a bit skiddish with new people. She is kind and patient with him and is so consistent - which he needs. Thank you for everything, Alishea!”
“Thank you for watching my princess while I was on my vacation. Because she is shy around strangers, it was such a relief to see her trust you and become more comfortable with you each day”
“While we debated having someone come check in on the cats while we were going for two nights, we are glad we had Sara come. We ended up having a water leak with water dripping through the ceiling. Sara let us know about this and put towels and bowls under the drips to lessen the damage from the water. Thank you, Sara! :)”
“Olivia did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! This was our first time away from her and also using Rover so having someone like Olivia gave us a lot of peace of mind. Thank you!!”
“Madison watched our cat while we were out of state. It is obvious that she loves animals. She is a friendly and caring person. She sent us daily updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable with her watching our cat and we recommend Madison to anyone needing pet care. We will use her again in the future if the need arises. Thanks Madison!”
“Lynsey has been great with our pups and even available for last minute bookings which I appreciate. She’s always taken great care of the dogs and sent us the pics of them enjoying her care. Thanks for what you do!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. My family has owned four chocolate labs and one black lab and my has family bred dogs for the last 18 years so I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. Currently, my wife and I own a two year-old golden retriever. I work a 8-5 job but walk my golden retriever in the morning for about 2 miles and in the evening for about 3-4 miles. We also find time to play in the house, go to the dog park, or play fetch throughout the week. I do not traditionally take on other individual’s dogs in my home and plan to offer dog walking/at home visits. That being said, I have taken care of family pets for a week or so. My general strategy is to get them comfortable with the environment and me and then introduce them to activities or play time.
About: I have spent much of my life taking care of different animals. I grew up on a farm handling chores for animals of all kinds from horses to dogs and cats. I currently have a 3 year old Maine Coon cat named Boston! I currently work mornings, typically 7-3 M-F. My hours vary depending on the week and what I am busy with at work. I work shifts on weekends and nights when needed I have a yard for your pet to run around in and play. I do have 3 other pets in my home that are properly vaccinated and friendly!

Nejra is so kind and caring. She was very patient with my shy cat who never opens up to anyone but me… by day 2 she was already opening up to Nejra. She made sure my cat had her essentials but most importantly, made sure to give her lots of pets, cuddles and play each visit. I loved seeing the pictures from their time together each day. 💕 First time I’ve left my cat since getting her over a year ago and I was terribly nervous my cat would feel lonely and too scared. Now I know I can still go places and my cat will be in good hands with Nejra. I will absolutely hire her again for future trips. Thank you, Nejra!!!
Emmy was absolutely amazing with my two large pups. She was prompt to respond to my request and on time for all of the scheduled times. She was super great about sending pictures and a small note for every visit. I have nothing but praise for her care of my doggies. I will definitely use her again!
Lynsey is amazing! 11/10 recommend her as a sitter - she will take good care of your fur baby! I have been lucky to be her client a few times now, and I will certainly continue to request her first when I am out of town and need a sitter to take care of my cats!
