“I was away for a week and Taylor did an exceptional job with my bunnies. She visited daily, fed them, cleaned up after them, and even played them classical music to help them remain calm. She was extremely communicative and I felt I could trust her. My return flight was canceled and she stepped in for two extra visits and even helped with taking care of issues with my car's cover, which kept flying off. She's really exceptional and I recommend her highly. Her reliability, communication, and pet care will give you peace of mind.”

About: I have been in the animal care industry for several years. I now mainly work with exotic animals but I grew up working with my grandparents with their rescue. Everything from senior animals to bottle feeding newborns. I work 8am-5pm Wednesday through Sunday, I am more than happy to check on your pets either before or after work. I am also almost always available any time throughout the day on Mondays and Tuesdays. I have experience with maintaining trained behaviors in animals as well as crating animals both large and small. I also love to play with animals of all shapes and sizes to help them get some energy out.
“Samantha was fantastic with my cat over the holidays. She got our shy cat became her friend in just a couple visits and was great administering meds. Would definitely hire again!”

“Jackson’s level of care and attentiveness is top tier. Communications throughout remained as prompt, detailed, and reassuring as anyone could hope for! Will be rebooking in the future for sure.”

“Regan was great! Traveling for work is taxing on both owner and pet but I felt that my pup was in great hands. All her needs were met and more.”

“Braxton was wonderful--our anxious dog had an immediate positive response to her at the meet-and-greet. She communicated consistently and was very professional. We needed her to fill in some gaps from our regular sitter and we will DEFINITELY use her again. Loved her!!!”
“Keesha was a great sitter! She was took amazing care of our 12 year old Maine Coon. The daily drop ins for food, water and treats was just what our grumpy old man needed during our quick weekend away. Daily updates/photos put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend Keesha to care for your fur baby! We 100% will be using her again soon!”

“Elizabeth was a great sitter to our herd! The dogs really liked her and I'm sure they're already waiting for her to come back. We're very excited the we found someone that cares about our animals as much as we do, so there's no stress when we're away from home!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better, Pet Sitter! Leaving my cat while I was on vacation is never easy but from the moment I met Theresa, I knew they were in excellent hands. She is attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. She really took the time to get to know my cats, so they were comfortable around her. And I was so thankful she was able and willing to give insulin injections to my diabetic cat. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how each visit went. It gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief to find someone who treats your pets like their own. I would absolutely trust Theresa again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and top-notch Pet Sitter!”

“Monica provided great care for my cat like she always does. she provided pictures and videos of him and also gave updates as she did the drop ins. Monica administered his insulin well and with care! My cat loves her!”

“Rafaela was amazing with my two cats. They are anxious (like me) and they were comfortable with her immediately (rolled on their backs for belly rubs) which made me comfortable. She sent great photos and updates, communicated thoroughly, and I felt confident that the cats were well taken care of. When we met to exchange keys, she asked thorough questions and made sure she was prepared with all instructions. Rafaela is really kind, has a gentle energy with pets, and definitely understands how much humans cherish their animal companions. If I need a petsitter in the future, I'm definitely contacting her again. Highly recommend!”

“I'm thrilled to have found Emma on Rover as my new go-to pet sitter for Popcorn (my cat). Popcorn warmed up to Emma immediately, and Emma was communicative and a real cat pro. I loved the photos she sent while we were on vacation.”


About: Hello! My name is Kamryn, I'm not just another pet sitter – I'm a fellow pet lover who's been in your shoes. For the past four years, I've been a devoted cat parent, understanding the unique joys and responsibilities that come with feline companionship. Beyond my own furry friend, I've also had the pleasure of dog-sitting for many wonderful families, including overnight stays and regular check-ins. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust completely with your animals. My most transformative experience came when I cared for my aunt's senior husky, Xander. He was battling seizures and diabetes, and it was a challenging time for everyone. But I saw it as an opportunity to make a real difference in his life. From administering insulin injections to ensuring he got his daily walks, I was committed to providing him with the best possible care. What I learned during that time was invaluable. I discovered the profound impact of consistent, loving care on an animal's well-being. Seeing Xander's health improve and his spirit lifted was incredibly rewarding. Now, he's thriving, and I'm inspired to bring that same level of dedication and compassion to your pets. Whether you have energetic puppies still learning the ropes or senior dogs who prefer a gentle stroll, I'm equipped to handle their unique needs. I offer flexible walks, from 30 minutes to an hour, tailored to fit your pet's schedule and preferences. Let's connect and create a personalized plan that ensures your animals are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I can't wait to meet them My day starts bright and early around 3 a.m. because I'm up early for work. I let Xander out for a quick potty break, then I get myself ready for the day, making sure his food and water bowls are topped off. Before heading out the door, I give my cat Lana a quick check-in, making sure she's doing okay. We grab some treats and squeeze in a 30-minute walk. Since my job allows me off at 1, my evenings are reserved for child and pet care. After my day is done, I make sure to dedicate an hour to a longer walk with Xander as soon as I get home. In the evenings, Lana and I unwind on the couch or in my room. I feed them both at the same time. Since I have a set schedule, Xander, Lana, and I all thrive on the routines we've established! When caring for pets, I offer a range of services tailored to their needs and the owner's preferences. This includes daily or weekly walks to ensure pets get enough exercise and fresh air. I also provide overnight pet care at the client's home, which involves maintaining their regular feeding and potty schedules, as well as offering companionship and playtime. Additionally, I offer check-in visits at the client's home, where I can provide food, water, and offer some attention. Since my job allows me off at 1, my afternoons and evenings are reserved for child and pet care. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away, always respecting their routines and the owner's instructions.

Regan did a wonderful job with the drop in visits. My dog really liked him and my shyest cat came out to see him, which I consider a good sign. Regan also made sure the feral cats had food and water as requested. Sent me photos & quick updates. I would love to hire Regan again when I go out of town.
