About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, so I’m happy to help with all your pet needs. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have experience administering medication to dogs, cats, and even rats! I have always loved training animals. I plan to get a training certification through Rover soon so I can also offer training services. But in the meantime, I’m happy to work with your pet’s training needs while providing other services. I am a teacher, so if school is in, so am I. So I am primarily available weekday evenings and weekends. That availability will change soon though! I have a fully fenced yard, and plenty of pet cameras. My house is set up with pets in mind. And I’ll of course respect your home!

Honestly could not say better things about Rhiana. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m glad I got her as my first cat-sitter! She kept me updated everyday with pictures. My boys seemed to really like her 🥺 I expected them to be skiddish and run away, but they did not! My cats can sense when people have good intentions, and they were very trusting of her. I would definitely hire her again!

About: I have taken care of dogs for a friend for a few years now. I also have experience with taking care of a local family’s 2 sweet dogs. I have been their go to for a few years now. I also have experience as a pet owner, I grew up with dogs my entire life, at one time we had a pack of 8. My goal is to ease your pet’s anxiety when their favorite person is not there. I will work to make sure your pet has the structure they need, the enrichment they crave, and the love they deserve. I do work full time Monday -Friday 8am-5pm so I am free on weekends and happy to stay with the animals when I’m not working. I can also check in on my lunch hour to ensure they have the restroom breaks they need and the enrichment time. I am very attentive when I am caring for you furry family members. I make sure that they have fresh water and get fed at the correct times. I always send photo updates each time the pets go outside or eat. I am very flexible with what is required if you’re able to be flexible and understanding of my work schedule.

Danielle is amazing! She is extremely professional and communicative. She met up with me before the trip and took great care of my cat, Ellie. Ellie can be shy and cautious of new people but Danielle took her time and gave her lots of love, space, and patience. Can’t wait to book with her again!

Caroline truly went above and beyond what we'd expected for a dog sitter. She came a few days beforehand to meet Rusty and get familiar with him so that when she arrived on the day, he was eager and excited to see her ( ie. get cuddles, playtime, food and a walk outside. She also graciously sent us pictures and regular updates on Rusty. Overall she was friendly, interesting -- be sure to ask about her connection to the movie Top Gun Maverick :), timely, thorough and clearly a dog lover. I think Rusty made a friend for life. We'll definitely be asking Caroline to watch over our pup again.

Julia was an absolute lifesaver! She accepted an incredibly last-minute booking without hesitation. My dog Frankie gets a bit or of separation anxiety and sadness when we leave town, but Julia handled it with total patience, compassion and professionalism. Very clear to communicate everything going on with the pup. Without ever meeting the pup before she was extremely reliable when I left her with some instructions. She went above and beyond! I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such flexible and capable hands. Highly recommend!

Kristen stopped in through the weekend to watch our senior special needs boy while we were away and was excellent with him! She kept us updated with pictures and status updates which was very much appreciated, especially with a boy who has some quirks. Kristen was very easy to communicate with and flexible with travel plan changes. Highly recommend her for pet sitting needs and will plan to have Kristen help us out with our pup again. Thanks Kristen!

Kris is an extremely reliable and flexible pet caretaker. Travel is often stressful, but one thing I never worry about while I’m gone is my two cats. Kris takes excellent care of them, including giving medication twice a day. She also is very detailed in her Rover cards. Also, Kris is some kind of cat whisperer — she take the most adorable photos when she does check-ins. My one cat is a goblin but when I see her photos of him, he looks so cute I almost forget what an utter demon he is.

Hollister did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my kitties while I was away. She was reliable, punctual, and communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire process and visits. I loved receiving her detailed updates and excellent pictures, which brought me so much peace of mind while traveling. She followed all instructions carefully, including medication administration, and was very attentive to each of my cats and their needs. She kept their food, water, and litter area clean and clearly took great pride in providing excellent care. Hollister truly went above and beyond and treated my cats as if they were her own. Being away from them, knowing they were in such capable and caring hands, made the experience much easier. I strongly recommend Hollister to anyone looking for a compassionate person to care for their fur babies.

We so appreciate Mackenzie, and how she really does take care of our cat like she's her own.
