1. Alycia H.


“Alycia did a great job checking on our two excessively shy cats-she went above and beyond to find their hiding spots and made sure they were OK even as they took hide and seek to the extreme. We knew our two brats were well taken care of and could relax and enjoy our vacation.”


2. Kiffin M.

“Kiffin is responsive, caring, and goes the extra mile to take great care of my pups! Appreciate having her to help get them into a routine at their new home. :)”




3. Rachelle & Christopher H.

“Christopher and Rachelle were INCREDIBLE cat sitters for me this past week! It was my first time using Rover for my two cats (in the past, we've always had a friend stop by) and I was so impressed and touched by their quality of care. One of the cats, Luke, opened up immediately and was the subject of some incredibly cute pictures, which we received every day and in great supply! It really made being away from them easier. The other cat, Han, took a while getting comfortable with a new stranger in his home, but Christopher really gained his trust and by day 3, his pictures went from hiding in the closet to kneading in the kitchen. It was apparent that the kitties were being well taken care of by people who truly loved them, even if they had just met. Christopher was even kind enough to clean their litter, which we had not asked them to do, and left us such wonderful "Rover cards" that had us actually laughing out loud and feeling very reassured that our boys were in good hands. We came back to happy, healthy kitties, and if the need arises again, there's no doubt in my mind we'll be asking them for help again and again!”


4. Claire O.

“Claire was great and handled the dogs well! My smaller dog can be a pain sometimes, but Claire took great care of her. I will definitely book with Claire in the future!”


5. Clare S.

“Clare was great! She sent me pictures of my kitten every drop in, played with him & gave him some needed snuggles! She even came over before we started to review the process with my kitten for me. I will be using Clare again in the future - I reccomend!”


6. Anna P.

“Anna is wonderful! She’s does an amazing job with my puppy. Pepe just loves her. Anna is a great communicator and keeps me informed of how Pepe is doing. I feel very comfortable with Anna watching Pepe. She knows exactly was she’s doing!”


7. Maura W.
“Maura has taken care of our dog many times. She has spent a week at our house with overnight dog sitting several times and has also done day dog sitting for us. Our dog needs daily medication which Maura has given him with no problems. She walks him often too. She is very responsible and leaves the house neat and tidy. Maura is our first choice for a dog sitter and she gives our dog lots of attention which he needs!”


8. Basia C.

“You are the best!”


9. Sarah G.

“Thanks you Sarah for letting out the borkies twice while away for the day! The pics were great and appreciate the communication while I was away from my fur babies. Would love to use you again!”


10. Deborah C.

“Deborah is a gem! She is friendly and communicates very clearly. We felt so comfortable having her drop in to visit our puppy. Will definitely recommend Deborah!”


11. Danny & Jennifer C.

“Danny and Jennifer were absolutely amazing with our pups for a really extended (two weeks!!) period of time. They came on time every day, twice a day, and saw to their basic needs, of course—food, water, love, play. But they also picked up after them, straightened the house, took the trash to the curb, kept the pups safe in the dorms, did troubleshooting on an AirTag collar, brought packages inside, gave great Rover cards, and clearly just CARED!!! They were great communicators and went WAY above and beyond in pretty much every possible way. Unsurprisingly, our pups love them! I will do everything I can to work with them again for future vacations!!”


12. Michael & Beth H.

“Mike and Beth are great. Have had several sitters in the past and he was the first sitter that was on top of everything and knew how to follow instructions. He gave awesome updates, which was highly appreciated . Was flexible when I had to make changes to reservation. Highly recommend.”


13. Rachel S.

“Rachel was so accommodating! We have a very anxious dog that is not accepting of strangers. Rachel was persistent in her efforts and gained our pup’s trust. She was very reliable and helped us to relax knowing our fur baby was well cared for.”


14. Callie K.

“Callie was great! I booked only a couple of days in advance and she was communicative, flexible, and friendly. I’d love to book again, thanks! 💛”


15. Evie G.

“Evie is truly the best. She cares so much for my cat Coco and is extremely prompt letting me know if she sees any concerns with Coco’s health. Having her watch Coco is a huge relief when I travel.”


16. Samantha N.
About: I mostly have experience with cat and kitten. I don't have much experience with dogs but I can learn quickly to provide the best care possible. I am a part-time baker in the area. I am available most days from late morning until late afternoon. I am very flexible with my schedule. I am new to pet sitting and I'll do my best to provide the best care possible for your pet; to be there for your pet.
