“Michele was very attentive to my cat's needs, and did a wonderful job of making my pet feel comfortable and cared for on a simple check in visit. I would definitely rebook.”
“Highly recommend!! Samantha was professional, experienced and kind. She took extra loving care of our kitty Layla for an entire week while administering oral medications twice daily. I am forever grateful! Thank you!!”
“Sandy is sincere, honest and competent. We hired Sandy to take care of our two cats for a little over 2 weeks. When she came for her first visit, we realized that we had forgotten to put in our initial request that we also have two outdoor cats we care for & feed. We asked Sandy if she would be okay doing that while we were away and she graciously agreed. She spent enough time with us to make sure that she understood all our instructions. While we were away she came everyday at the same time for 30 minutes to be with our cats, freshened up their food & water bowls, cleaned their little box and left little treats for them so they got a little exercise. She sent us updates and pictures through the Rover App during every visit so we could see our fur-babies were happy and healthy. We had peace of mind while on vacation that she was caring for our cats. We will definitely hire her again to take care of our cats when we travel next.”
“Steff was amazing! I booked her services while I was away in Egypt, and having her care for Mylo while I was on the other side of the world gave me so much peace of mind. She was responsive, reliable, and did her best to bond with my skittish cat. I really appreciated the updates and photos of him too. Highly recommend and will book her again in the future! ❤️”
“Kaileigh is the BEST pet sitter! She took good care of Miaui and handled unexpected situations with grace and kindness! I highly recommend her and hooe to be able to use her again. Thank you, Kaileigh, from me and Miaui! ❤️”
“Shelby was absolutely amazing taking care of my cat! I felt at ease going on vacation knowing she was in good hands. I was updated every day with multiple pictures and I could tell my cat felt safe and comfortable as well. :)”

“"Absolutely incredible experience! Hannah was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our 100-pound Newfoundland, Arto, absolutely adored them. They were reliable, professional, and managed Arto’s size and energy with ease. It’s not always easy to find someone who can handle such a large dog, but Hannah made it look effortless. They kept us updated with pictures and notes, and we could tell Arto was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again—highly recommend!"”
About: I have always had a pet in my life since the moment I was born. I have worked at an emergency animal hospital. I currently work from home which means I will always be available to take care of your pet. I currently have a 9 year-old puggle, Buddy who was rehomed to me and he takes medication every day. I work from home so this means I will always be available for your pet! I typically take my dog out for a brief walk and every four hours until I clock out of work then I live right across from the park so that's where we go. I would love to give your fur baby my undivided attention and take them to the park for lots of exercise! My Buddy is my entire world and I know that your fur baby is too so your pet will only get the best care. Want pictures of your pet on a daily basis? No problem! Daily updates? Of course! If your fur baby is on medication then they will get the medication on time and as directed!

Patrick D.
“Patrick is truly amazing with animals, especially dogs! He has an incredible way with them, making him the ultimate pet parent. His Bernadoodle, Zucc, absolutely adores him, and it’s easy to see why- Patrick’s love and care for animals is so natural. He’s also fantastic with his parent’s Portuguese Water Dog, Tony, and previously grew up with another Portuguese Water Dog named Lola, so his experience with pets runs deep. His love for animals isn’t just limited to dogs, though. Patrick also helps care for his parents' cat, Harry, showing just how versatile and caring he is with all animals. Whether it's a dog or a cat, Patrick’s kindness, patience, and attention to their needs make him a wonderful pet parent. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for someone who truly understands and loves animals!”
Christopher S.
“Chris is wonderful with pets. He has been walking my dogs for a few months. I know he also works at a dog kennel so he has a lot of experience with dogs. I highly recommend him to others.”
