“If we could give Margarette 10 stars we would! Our cats loved her and she put our minds at ease when we went on vacation and had to leave our furbabies. One of our cats already misses her!!! Thank you Margarette for being so good to our kiddos!!!”
“We are reoccurring customers and always will be as long as Carly is caring for pets. She is incredible and puts our mind at ease, which for us was a huge deal during stressful last minute situations. She has a huge heart and will always show your fur babies love. Thank you Carly from all of us Griffins, especially from Kai and Nola lol ❤️”
“Chekerra was amazing! She took such great care of Marley and truly went above and beyond. She even brought her own toys so they could play together, which Marley loved. We also really appreciated the check-ins and pictures she sent throughout the stay—it gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats the pets like her own. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“Want to thank Hannah for short notice booking, great meet and greet with myself and dogs. Thank you for the pics, the dogs liked you 2 which i feel pets know good people. Again thank you for such short notice and being able to do so. It was very much appreciated. Randy S,”
“Sandy did a great job taking care of my cat. She was on-time and followed my directions (including medication) exactly as requested. She also took the time to clean up my cats food bowls and spent some time brushing her. I will happily use Sandy again the next time I'm away from home. Thanks for such a great experience!”
About: I'm super flexible and can tailor my approach to fit exactly what your pet needs! Plus, I'm all about making sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and has a blast while you're away. I make pet care a priority by structuring my day around their needs. Walks, playtime, and feeding times are all carefully planned to ensure they get the attention and care they deserve. It's like having a furry, fun-sized boss who dictates my schedule! Safety first! Whether it's my place or yours, I make sure the environment is free of hazards. Trust is built through consistent, loving care, and I always respect your home and rules. Basically, I treat every pet like they're my own and every home like it's my grandma's – with lots of love and respect!
About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have taken care of friends and family’s animals while they are away. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. I teach during August- May but have time after work to play and spend time with your animals. June- July I am available at all times. I will treat your animals as if they were mine with plenty of love and attention. I will follow your instructions for the care of your pet.
About: I have experience with cats and dogs. Young and old. I can administer medication if needed. They will have all the love and attention they will need. Everything will be followed per your instructions. I am self employed so I have a very flexiable schedule to drop in whenever. I will always update my schedule and if you happen to see that I'm unavailable but you need me send me a message and we will see if we can work something out. Wether you need your dog walked, fed or played with I have you covered day or night. Same goes with your cats. I will play with them as if they were my own. And dont worry about the litter box I got it. Your instructions for your pet will always be followed. I will go above and beyond for your fur baby. They will have all the love, excerise, and play time they or you require that they have.
“This is my first time using Rover. Cassidy was great! She eased my worries about my cats while I was traveling! She kept me informed with the pictures she posted. She even left them with some new toys that even got my 7 year old cat playing! My 7 year old cat, who is very shy with strangers, even came out of hiding to meet her! I will definitely use Cassidy again when I travel! Thank you Cassidy!”
“Harley has been amazing with our dog, Lola. I highly recommend Harley if you are needing your fur baby walked, played with, or checked on. Pictures are uploaded on the app so you can see her walk/visit!”
About: I am very attentive with animals, organized, on time, and currently looking for some extra ways to earn a little more cash. I’ll make sure any requests you have are done the way you wish. I can feed, play, walk, and give any medications to your pet if necessary. If you have a usual walking route you like taking i’d be more than willing to comply. I’ve been around dogs long enough to know your basic dos and don’ts. I’m only available on weekends preferably mornings, unless you request ahead of time (no guarantees). please let me know if you have anything specific i should know about your pet thanks you :) I am looking forward to spending a small part of my day with your fur babies :) I currently work full-time, but have more than enough time on my hands on weekends and some weekdays depending on my schedule for the week. I love being around animals, they heal my heart especially after my dog passed last year. I truly desire some kitty or puppy love in my life. I live in a quite duplex apartment complex. I have a genuine love for animals, can follow directions, crate if needed, give medications, and entertain your babies for some time.
