“Michelle was fantastic! She communicated well, sent daily pictures and took great care of our pets and home. We will definitely schedule her again.”
“Kaileigh takes great care of our dog, and is regularly in touch with photos and updates. She has house sat twice for us, and we’d happily have her again, and heartily recommend her to others!”
“Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!”
“Kimberly was great! We've never used a pet-sitter before so were a little nervous, but Kimberly came over to meet us and our dog before we left and put our minds at ease. Our pup took to her right away when she visited and we appreciated the thoughtful questions she asked. She was a great communicator before and during her stay with our pup and sent so many great photos. Just got home from our trip and the house is spotless. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have trained puppies; both my own family’s pets, as well as in a professional setting. I have cared for senior dogs as well; I have aided dogs with limited mobility, cleaned up after accidents, and administered medication. I am currently available full time, until I begin my Master’s program in the fall. I am also starting a new job at the end of July which will be primarily on weekends. I will ensure all of your pets basic needs are met in a timely and loving manner, and strive to go above and beyond that. I am happy to take dogs out on walks. I will play with any of your pets and give them lots of love. I can crate your dog(s) if requested so long as the crate is provided. I am capable of administering medication. I will thoroughly clean up any accidents, if needed. I will happily send you photo updates. Just about any service needed, I can provide!
“Where do I even begin with Sharon- she is just SO INCREDIBLE!!!!!! We went out of town for 5 days and this is the first time we used Rover. Sharon came over to our home twice before we left to meet our animals and to go over all of the details. I was a little nervous about leaving our furbabies but let me tell you, I was so comfortable with Sharon taking care of them knowing they were in loving hands. Sharon sent me photos and updates of them every day and exceeded all expectations. I will forever use Sharon to watch our babies, they absolutely loved her!!! My skiddish scared cat even came out to greet her which never happens with anyone. Sharon is such a sweet, respectful person and I could not recommend Her enough. ❤️”

“Melanie and Anthony were great with our dogs, even with one of them in heat. They kept them well fed and exercised. We were very pleased with the experience”
About: I have many years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I grew up with 3 dogs and 2 cats, and I have 5 years of experience dealing with cats with Feline Diabetes. I have 4 cats that I love and care for every day, they are my whole world! I am available on nights, weekends, and holidays. In my clients home, I would get to know the animals first and make them feel comfortable with me, and make sure I listen carefully to the clients instructions on how to care for the pet(s).
“Jocelyn stayed at our home for a week! She cleaned up after herself, took our dog on walks and played fetch with her! She updated us with photos and we will definitely be using her again for our next trip!”
About: I spent most of my life with dogs. Since I was 3 years old, my family had dogs in the house. Recently my last dog passed away and we can’t afford to adopt another one. I’ve always religiously walked my dogs and would do so for miles, as I enjoy walking as a hobby anyway. I fed them and bathed personally and one of my dogs was on multiple medications and I gave her all of them on time. I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. When I’m watching them, they’re my only priority. Also as a result, I’m available on short notice. I will follow all instructions given to me by a pet owner on any house rules they have with their pet. It’s your house and I will treat it with respect.
“This was my first time boarding my cat and Hayley made it super easy and gave me much peace of mind. She was kind and patient, sent lots of pictures and videos, was super flexible with any schedule changes I may have had and was super welcoming! I can’t explain how grateful I am for her service and having someone I can trust with my baby for any future trips I may have!”
“Jess was wonderful with our golden retriever! She was prompt, efficient and communicative which eased any worry we had. I would definitely recommend Jess for any dog service you need!”
“Kelly was a pleasure! We met in advance for her to meet the fur babies, which I really appreciated. She helped watch 3 of our animals, one being a senior English bulldog that needs extra care and it was comforting to know while my husband and I were away, they were in good hands. They loved her! Which is also comforting! Thanks Kelly!! :)”
About: I'm a very attentive and tidy pet owner to give the pets as much love and as much space as the appear to need. I respect pets, independence and no the most of their social cues to tell me what they need. While I'm completing Project Manager certification and job hunting for Engineering work in the Renewable Energy Industry, I love getting out everyday for sunset walk (or run for dogs that need it). I've dated a Vet Technician and learned a lot from her with her kitten and elder cat. I've even shared a dog and had to endure putting it down sadly. I'm very attentive with pets and love giving them just the right amount of attention, or space, that they enjoy naturally. I respect pets like any other member of the family.

I am trained in restraint of animals and helping the technicians draw blood from both cats & dogs. I am a very caring and reliable individual. If interested, i’d love the opportunity to take care of your fur babies.
