“Maelee was very sweet and accommodating. She dropped in on my 2 cats, taking care of their needs as well as giving my elderly cat his meds daily. I appreciated the little notes and pictures sent as well. I highly recommend!”
“Lauren was communicative, thorough, and got along so well with my cat, even with short notice! It was a load off my mind while traveling, and I really appreciated her time and work.”
“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”
“Suzanne and her family did an excellent job taking care of my two kitties! I loved getting the photo updates every day and the creative ways she got them to play. As an added bonus she tended to my plants for me. My vacation was worry free thanks to Suzanne, and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Taylor did great with our slightly sassy cat. She did all that was requested, was quick to respond, and asked good questions about the cat’s needs and habits. Would recommend!”
“Abby was fantastic! We were worried about using Rover for the first time but ended up being SUPER impressed with the checkin system and Abby's work. She sent us pictures and an update every day. She was really quick to respond and nice to meet. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Brooke took care of our three cats and saltwater fish tank while we were on vacation. She was reliable with all the check in visits and sent updates with pictures as well. I would recommend her to others and we will use her again in the future!”
“Holly Jean was wonderful! She sent me detailed updates about how her drop in visit went. She followed all my instructions perfectly. She was communicative during the booking process and did not hesitate to reach out if she had any further questions. I felt like my cats were well cared for with her!”
“Brian was freaking fantastic. They were so attentive to our sweet kitty and went above and beyond to help us out when some packages and mail were left outside. My cat truly found a new buddy and was almost a little disappointed when I walked back in when she realized it wasn’t Brian! Can’t say enough great things!”
“Colene did a great job with our dog and cat! She showed up on time, followed all of the instructions we left her and there were no issues whatsoever! We felt completely at ease while we were away knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you, Colene!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!
“Molly did a tremendous job caring for our cat while on vacation. She has been friendly, communicative, professional, and reliable. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Ariel was communicative, friendly, and very easy to work with. She took great are of our cat, Ollie, with frequent drop-in visits while we were out of town. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Always appreciate Claire & the love she provides to our pup. She always goes above & beyond and gives the best updates. Thank you for loving our pup! 🩷”
“Kaitlin is incredibly proactive, communicative, and responsible! She watched our two cats over a weekend and sent us lots of cute photos and detailed updates. We were super impressed with her and she made us feel so secure about leaving for the weekend. I trust her completely and would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
“Hannah was so great with my dogs! I am thrilled with the care and the attention they received, and the updates and photos/videos Hannah sent while I was out of town. Could not have asked for anyone better to care for my dogs. Thank you, Hannah!”
“Melissa did a great job with my frail elderly dog and two cats. She was super conscientious, thorough, and communicated well. I will definitely call again next time I go out of town. Thanks, Melissa!”
“Ali has been an absolute miracle worker for our family. We have two rescue dogs with a wide range of behavioral issues. One, Stevie, is anxious all the time, has separation issues, and is a resource guarder. The other, George, came from a hoarding situation where she had little contact with humans. When she finally did interact with people due to being heartworm positive and having health issues, she had to go through painful procedures, and as a result, she has deep trust issues. Ali brings the perfect personality and energy to the equation. She is gentle and kind, meeting them where they are. She earned their trust easily by making it about their experience versus forcing her way in. She is an excellent communicator and asked a lot of great questions before our group meeting. We have a cat too. =) We were able to take our first week-long vacation recently thanks to Ali. And we could do so in complete confidence that everything was taken care of, and the pictures she sent us daily reflected happy pets!! We came home to a calm and spotless house, and for the first time, there were NO indicators that our "kids" were unhappy or stressed about us leaving. They may have had a better time with Ali than we did in Punta Cana!! Do yourself and your pets a favor and hire Ali. She is the absolute greatest!”
