I have been using for a couple of times now. She is 💯 reliable and I can always count on her to giving loving far to my cat Rin. I wanted a sitter that can give lots of cuddles and love in addition to providing care ( cleaning litter, water etc). She is the person.

Highly recommend Mariah. She has done walks and drop in visits with our dogs for years. She is always reliable and responds quickly. We end up making last-minute bookings often because of our work schedules and she always gets back to us right away. Most importantly our dogs love her!

Pat and Bee were fantastic!!! They were very professional and communicative during the entire time me and my family were away and they were caring for our fur babies. Always on time and took photos to share with us. I definitely intend to use them again for all future family trips and highly suggest any looking for some to lovingly and properly care for their pets while away Pat and Bee would be my first choice.

I’m deeply grateful to Tania for taking such loving care of my cat, Pipi. Tania followed every instruction with care and attention, and her daily updates—filled with sweet photos—brought me so much comfort while I was away. She was also always responsive, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I wholeheartedly recommend her for her services!

Pups loved Robin. This was our first try with a drop in and her ability to deal with two very active dogs with food, meds, and getting them out and back in was perfect. We will definitely use Robin again.

Stephanie was amazing! Very professional, communicated well, and was overall very attentive with our boys. Our AC went out halfway through the week, and she helped us troubleshoot the problem from 3 states away. She also made sure to check on the cats and make sure the house wasn’t too hot without the AC. Overall, we had a great experience and we plan to book with her again for our next trips as well!!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as walking and helping care for my neighbors’ dogs. Through this, I’ve learned how to safely walk dogs, follow feeding routines, give lots of attention, and recognize when a dog may need a break or extra care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and understand how important patience and consistency are for pets. I’m available after school on weekdays and I have more flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, punctual, and always communicate clearly about scheduling and updates. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow instructions carefully, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure they’re always in a safe, calm environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and respect owners’ routines, rules, and preferences.

Sarah and Amanda were awesome! They took such great care of my Dane and went over and beyond to make sure she got all the love and attention. They were very through in their daily reports which really put me at ease knowing she was doing so well. My pup got spayed recently and they did a great job giving her meds on time and checking that her incision was healing well. I also appreciate they didn’t walk her on the hot asphalt during the heat wave and took the time to take her for a walk out back in the grass. You can really tell these two love taking care of animals! Will definitely use them again when we go away ?

About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.

About: Hello, I'm Cori! I currently work as a manager at a preschool, looking for some part-time work. I'm a very active person so I wouldn't mind talking them out for a walk or the backyard to play! I have a very flexible schedule so I can visit your pets multiple times a day if needed. As for my experience, I had dogs and cats while I was growing up and I helped family and friends with dog sitting when needed. I hope you consider me for the position and I look forward to hearing from you. I have open and flexible schedule throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can help same day or plan for days in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, maintain a calm environment, and provide attentive, loving, and reliable care.

Allison did a great job caring for my cat, Babe. The day I was to leave town babe had to go to a special vet appointment where she got prescribed liquid medication. Allison handled administering that medication to her for part of the week with great care and did a great job doing it. She was very thorough in communicating with me and sending me pictures of Babe enjoying her visits. She was great.

Fantastic sitter; highly, highly recommend!! Calailah was very kind to our two kitties even when Orion wasn’t very kind to her at first. Orion usually doesn’t like new people but he warmed up to Calailah in one day- the fastest he’s ever warmed up to someone! Will definitely be reaching back out next outing!

The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!

Serena was amazing. She stopped by 3 times a day to take care of my 2 dogs and 3 cats. I even had one dog that needed to take some medication while we were gone and she had no problem doing that. She sent pictures of the animals every day and kept me updated about everything. We were worried about leaving the dogs alone for so long but I'm so happy we had Serena there to take care of them and love them.
