“Christina exceeded my expectations with her care. Upon returning from my trip, my apartment did not smell like cat litter or poop. The cat litter area and food area was super tidy, and my cat looked happy and healthy. Christina was very communicative and detailed throughout her visits, and made me feel at ease while I was on my trip that Aria (my cat) was safe and well fed. Upon meeting Christina she was super professional, prompt, and very attentive to all of the details I gave her about feeding info and care. I would definitely book again and can recommend her to anyone who’s looking for professional care and reliability!”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals. My home has been shared with cats, dogs, snakes, birds, a rabbit, an iguana. I was also a veterinarian assistant for over a year. I took care of any and every animal that walked through our doors; cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, rabbits. Animals of all sizes. I walked, fed, bathed and cleaned up after them. I cared for them as if they were my own and will continue to do so with every animal entrusted to my care! I am currently working from home but my schedule can be flexible. I daily job and walk times work around each other so please notify me at least 2 days in advance of your booking date and I will try my best to make it work for you! As stated on my profile, I have a strict 7 day cancellation policy applied and it is automatically enforced by the Rover app. This is due to the nature of my day job as I may need to adjust those hours when scheduling a booking of any kind. Please be mindful of this, thank you. I always make sure their sleeping area is clean and tidy and I always make sure there is available fresh water. Food is given at a schedule dependent on the individuals needs. I give plenty of time for play/attention to ensure that they always feel loved and never lonely. Sometimes they want to be left alone and I respect that as well.
“Sherrie was amazing! She took such great care of our pup during the drop in visit, lots of love, and attention to details. It’s clear she truly cares. Can’t wait to book her again! 🐾”
“I trust her wholehearly with my senior dog who has specific needs. I'm so beyond happy to have found Heather. Right off the bat she gives off this vibe that she's truly going to take care of your fur baby really well. And I really appreciate how I always get pictures and updates about my little one:)”
“Denise is the best! Took such good care of Rosie, it’s so hard to find trustworthy people nowadays that will look after your dog like theirs. I’m so lucky to be able to find her last minute, and for sure will entrust in her to continue to take care of my little bubbs!”
“Kaitlin took excellent care of our cats, she paid attention to details, sent updates and gave our fluffy babies lots of love! They were so happy and everything went smoothly. We are very thankful for Kaitlin, it was peace of mind knowing that she was visiting them.”
About: Hello, I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve been training my golden retriever for more than 4 years and raised my adopted cat with love and care. I have many experience working with dogs and cats of all temperaments and understanding their needs. Looking forward to meeting lovely furry friends! I’m currently a student and also work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your pup! I genuinely love spending time with animals and always make sure they get the attention, care, and playtime they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m happy to follow any special instructions to keep your dog or cat feeling safe and cared for in their own home. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick check-in or a longer visit, I treat every pet like family and provide a calm, loving presence they can trust.
“She is absolutely amazing. Always kept me updated and asked questions if needed to know anything. She is very thorough and took care of my dog and he was her own. 100% recommend if you want you fur baby to be loved while you are gone.”
“Taylor did an excellent job with our dogs! They seemed to really like her, and she was very communicative before and during the job. We will definitely be requesting her again the next time we travel.”
About: I had a dog from age 11 to 14, and that’s really where it started. I was the one feeding him, walking him, cleaning up after him, basically learning firsthand what it means to actually care for a dog. Now I’m studying psychology in college, and I’ve been diving into dog behavior and body language on the side and I love it. I’m currently working part time and looking for another way to spend my time so i’d be more than welcome to look after your cats or dogs, whatever is needed. My availability changes weekly due to my part time job, but I’m very flexible. Book at least 3 days ahead and I’ll do my best to make it happen. I only do pet care at clients homes, and I’m always respectful of your space. I don’t touch anything that doesn’t need to be touched, and I make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Alexa was amazing with my dog and cat during my vacation. She cared for them very well and always sent pictures. Alexa is professional and a great communicator. I will definitely call on her for all of my future dog and cat care needs!”
“I am pleased to recommend Diana for dependable and compassionate pet care! She was referred to me by a neighbor, and I'm so grateful to have connected with her. I'm always nervous about leaving my two cats when I travel, but Diana sent detailed reports and fun photos daily that eased my mind. She also did all the quirky things I'd listed as not required but "nice only if you have time." I will definitely use her/Andrew again!”
