5. Theresa K.
“I have had the privilege of working with Theresa K. for a few years during which time I saw first hand what a loyal, honest and trustworthy person she is. Her heart for animals, especially dogs, has been obvious from the beginning. I was fortunate to have Theresa dogsit (and housesit) for me on multiple occasions. Not only were my pets' needs met but Theresa always went over and above in her love and care for them. I have recommended her to several others who have enlisted her services too and were extremely happy with her instant connection with their pets as well as her outstanding care for them. I would HIGHLY recommend Theresa as part of your team. She will be an incredible asset to your company.”

“Cailah was fantastic. There was really nothing more we could have asked of her- she was professional, kind, responsible, punctual, energetic, and personable. She took care of our dog for 1 1/2 weeks while we were traveling by feeding, letting her out and walking her each morning. We got a written report along with pictures each day right after her visit. It was so reassuring for me to wake up each morning (due to the time change where we were) and see the report and pictures and know that not only was our dog okay she was happy! Thank you Cailah!!”


15. Tiffani G.
“I highly recommend Tiffani for a company like Rover. I have personally known her for 10+ years. She has owned several animals over that time frame, and is truly one at peace with them. She has previously taken care of my animals, my family’s while they were on vacation, and her friends. Very knowledgeable on all animals, professional. She treats every animal she encounters as her own, and to me that says the most. Highly recommend!”

17. rachael b.
“Rachael is an excellent caregiver for my cat Martha. Martha is a rescue and is very skittish/nervous around people she doesn’t know and Rachael takes the time to sit with her to bond with her and make her feel more comfortable. She sends daily updates and photos and I can go away knowing Martha is being looked street by someone who knows what they are doing and who cares.”


18. Robin D.

“Robin took amazing care of my dog she made him feel so at home! Her home set up was perfect! Her love for animals definitely shows in the quality care and extra attention she gave him while I was away. She was so genuine and took extra time to get to know my pet and ask me questions so that she could take the best care of him and treat him like her own! She even sent photos, gave updates on him at pick up about his stay and even sent him home with a little doggy toy and thank you which was super cute, thoughtful, and appreciated! Great experience for me and my pup!! 🐶😁”


19. Hannah N.
About: I have grown up around dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Quality care for animals is my forever top priority. I have trained puppies, had many senior dogs and dogs with special needs. (Epilepsy, etc.) My biggest goal is to work with you to hear what works for your pet on the daily and find a way to recreate that in the new environment! This way your fur babies know that they are safe, and the change of carer and environment creates the least amount of stress possible. I currently create my own hours so I am able to facilitate flexibility around your pets. My weekends and holidays are more flexible, but I am always happy to facilitate a plan for the weekdays too! I care for pets by ensuring I am communicating with their parents about their daily schedules and expectations; trying to replicate those typically ensures pets feel the most comfortable with consistency!

About: Hi there! I’m Mavrick, a devoted pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities including my own. I specialize in drop-ins for both dogs and cats, ensuring their individual needs are met with care and attention. From energetic pups who need playtime to independent cats who just want a cozy companion, I’ve got it covered. What makes me different? I go beyond the basics with enrichment activities, thorough communication, and a dedication to making your pets feel loved and secure. When you choose me, you’re choosing someone who truly cares about your pets as much as my own. I work from home and set my own business hours so I take special requests, but my primary hours for drop-ins are as follows; Monday- Friday: 7am-9:30am & 8:30pm-10pm Saturday-Sunday: 7am-9pm During a drop-in service, my goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved, even while you’re away. I customize my visits to fit your pet’s unique needs and routine. Here’s what I typically include during a drop-in: Feeding & Fresh Water: I’ll make sure your pet gets the right portion of food at the right time, along with fresh water to keep them hydrated. Potty Breaks: For dogs, I’ll take them outside for a bathroom break, ensuring they get the relief they need. Playtime & Enrichment: Whether it’s tossing a ball, playing with their favorite toy, or engaging in a fun activity, I keep your pet entertained and stimulated. Litter Box Maintenance: For cats, I’ll scoop and clean the litter box to keep things fresh and tidy. Affection & Companionship: I spend quality time giving pets belly rubs, ear scratches, or quiet snuggles—whatever makes them happiest. Safety Check: I’ll ensure your pet and your home are secure before I leave, including checking doors, windows, and anything pet-related. Updates & Photos: You’ll receive detailed updates with photos and notes about how your pet is doing, so you’re always in the loop. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away!
