Christina took great care of our two cats over the Thanksgiving holiday! She responded promptly to our initial request & sent regular updates & pics. When we got back, we found Milo & Rufus looking happy & calm, and our place was clean & tidy. Thanks so much, Christina!

Sarah is a dream! Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover. Sarah was super communicative, friendly, and kind, and instantly bonded with Honey—it was comforting knowing I was leaving her in great and capable hands. Sarah sent regular updates and pictures and left my home in more than perfect condition. I not only knew that Honey was being well taken care of but also loved the whole time! Sarah felt like an instant part of the family, she’s the absolute best!

Makaylah was great for Marcus. I really appreciated that she stuck to his puppy routine while I was gone so that he right away felt comfortable and safe with her. Even the staff in the front office of my building remarked how happy Marcus looked whenever they saw her coming in and out of the building with him on walks. She also went the extra mile and washed the sheets and remade the bed before she left. I will definitely request her for Marcus again!

Taylor is a great pet sitter! I am a self proclaimed crazy pet parent and I get really nervous about leaving my pets with someone else. However, I didn’t worry at all when Taylor watched my dogs and cats. She took excellent care of them and they were happy all weekend! I will definitely be using Taylor again in the future.

We needed someone to watch our pup for a few days while we were out of town and were lucky enough to find Darina! Our pup Dolly is prone to tummy issues and can be slow to warm up to people she does not know but Darina was not phased by the challenge. Dolly loved Darina and they had a blast hanging while we were gone! Darina sent plenty of pics/vids while we were gone and Dolly was comfortable enough to not have any tummy trouble the entire time. Darina not only took care of our pup, but also stayed at our apartment. Darina was a great guest and left our apartment just as we had left it and cleaned all linens, towels, and kitchen items she used! We cannot recommend Darina enough! She keeps both pet and owner comfortable!

We could tell that Birdie loved Stephanie by the end of the stay, which made us very happy. She was also very thoughtful and considerate staying in our apartment!

Wesley was so great with our pup Mr. Scruff, who has had separation anxiety. We had a successful meet and greet, and for both that and his actual stay (a several-hour visit including one walk), Wesley was super punctual and communicative. We could tell they both had a good time hanging together and we are so grateful! Would absolutely use him again.

About: I have been taking care of animals under my own company for 18 years, and personally for 20 years. I recently moved outside of my former network and into my other career full-time, but I miss taking care of fur babies! I work a flexible schedule, but am typically available after 7:30am and before 9:00pm on weekdays and any time after 9am on weekends. I can definitely accommodate vacation care and am willing to discuss set walk schedules. When in your home, I will take care of your animals according to the instructions you leave with me and their own unique and specific needs. I do not intend to board animals in my home due to the small size of my current apartment. Maybe in the future I can!

TeAisha is amazing. I always get nervous leaving my guys with someone new, but she was able to come and do a meet & greet beforehand so I felt super confident leaving them with her. She checked in regularly, followed their routine and was super patient with some quirky anxieties that my guys have. Absolutely recommend and would book again. Thank you TeAisha!!

We were so happy to have found Ellie to take care of our cats! From the very beginning, she was very caring, patient, and detail oriented, and gave one of our cats daily eye drops with ease. She sent a lot of great pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Thanks to Ellie, we were able to relax and have a nice vacation, knowing our cats were in good hands with her! Thank you so much, Ellie!

Rachel did an amazing job with our three pups, especially considering how last minute our request was. She was super flexible and attentive towards our pups potential needs if anything went awry with our travels. Our house looked great when we returned and our pups were happy and relaxed. We will definitely be booking her again next time we need a sitter.

I recently had Rebecca watch our two quirky pups for 10 days (in our home) while we were overseas. We were admittedly nervous about leaving the pups for so long with a new sitter, but Rebecca quickly put us at ease. She quickly bonded with our pups (one of whom has a lot of anxiety and leash aggression). She kept both dogs well cared for and very entertained. Rebecca also provided very frequent updates, pictures and videos which we loved and helped us to feel connected even when we were far away. Additionally, she went above and beyond to take great care of our house. It was such a relief to come home to a well care d for house in addition to happy and well cared for pups. We can’t recommend Rebecca enough!
