“This was my first time using Rover and my first time using Ann for my two 7-year-old kitties. Ann did an exceptional job. She showed up when she was supposed to and was very thorough and timely with her communication from beginning to end. I will use Ann again for sure! Thanks, Ann!!”
“My dog is very nervous around new people generally but loved Emma immediately! It out me at ease knowing she would be happy and comfortable during the drop in visit. Emma is very responsive as well- highly recommend.”
“Such a kind person and an animal lover to the core. Shinji loved having Maria over! She also gave love to our cat even though he didn't need to be taken care of. I can't recommend her enough, she clearly knows what she is doing and loves the animals that she sits. Will definitely keep in touch if we go travel again. Thank you so much!”
“Cassie has been such a wonderful caretaker for our cats. She spends quality time with the cats and ensures everything is clean and in order. Cassie goes above and beyond, was very flexible, and was such a big help. The cats absolutely adored her and seemed to really enjoy her company.”
“Caitlin was wonderful with my puppy and very accommodating. She was available at the drop of a hate when I needed her and even when I needed to change the time we had agreed on. She is very sweet and enjoyed playing with my puppy. Highly recommend 😊.”
“Alison was great with communication and sent pictures and updates of our fur babies. This was the first time my husband and I have ever left our cats with a stranger but Alison made it easy. Definitely booking with her again when we go out of town next time!”
“Rebecka is the best with my little one. She is very knowledgeable about puppies and gives very good, detailed feedback. I wouldn't hesitate to book her! She is very accommodating with her schedule as well!”
“I’m very happy that animal lovers like Eko and Sarah get to experience the joy that we often do with our dogs. Work requires a long commute for both my husband and I, and we worry about their need for potty breaks and being able to enjoy the day. I cannot express how truly grateful I am for their help in ensuring the well being of our dogs, our peace of mind, and the very modest rate they’re requesting to do so. While very relaxed in our request for help, Eko and Sarah were taking notes (literally) on what we hoped to achieve on their drop-ins, even exceeding requested times to ensure the welfare of our dogs. I thank them for this peace of mind, and I look forward to all the photos of future adventures they experience! (As my husband and I continue to work and “make that puppy food!”).”
“Felicia was amazing, she was so flexible and helpful and sweet. She took great care of the cats, including my old diabetic man. I didn't have to worry at all while I was away because I knew they were in good hands.”
“Jessie took excellent care of our cats while we were out of town. We have one diabetic cat and she was able to help administer his medication too! I highly recommend Jessie for any of your pets needs.”
“Vivian was great with our two cats. She cared for them exactly as we requested and was available with fairly short notice. She provided lovely updates at each visit and the boys seemed like they enjoyed their time with her. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Kayla did a fantastic job, she met Zesus before the scheduled sitting. Provided a few amazing pictures while I was away. And went above and being when something came up. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Sidnhy was very dependable and communicative, I had to schedule a sitter last minute and she worked with me to make sure Cleo was well taken care of. Cleo is a skittish and shy cat but she warmed up to Sidnhy right away, and Sidnhy sent me photo updates as I requested. Great experience with this sitter, will definitely contact her again for any future needs!”
“So appreciative of the last minute help and so glad that our pup is so comfortable with them, she takes some warming up but they are easily becoming her favorite. Highly recommend and will absolutely use again and again!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including administering medication. Currently caring for my six-year-old Labrador, ensuring daily exercise and proper health care. Currently working part-time at a vet clinic. I have open availability midweek and weekends, including early mornings and late nights for flexible pet care scheduling. I have a large yard with a dog run (no fence) and a friendly 6-year-old dog. Crating is available if you provide one for me.
About: I’ve worked in veterinary medicine for 4 years. I’ve gained lots of hands on experience. Currently waiting to adopt my dog on August 30th. Hope I can share the love a care your dog needs!! Everyday. I have 2 very sweet senior cats who are very spoiled. Since working in veterinary medicine I have gained more experience on how sweet and unique each pet is. My cats are very spoiled, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. When I look after your pet, I always show the same love that my fur babies do. I respect and appreciate being able to come into your home and will treat it very nicely. I hope I can help you with all your pet needs!
