“Ali is amazing! You can tell she really loves animals and caring for them as well as little things around the house. So glad we found her on Rover.com and will totally ask her again to watch our Golden and Berner.”
“Laura is one of the best sitters I’ve ever had! Fantastic communication, lots of care for my dogs and going above and beyond to make sure my pups were happy and getting everything they needed. I would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Becky is such an animal person that our dog and both our cats instantly relaxed just moments after meeting her for the first time. She is thoughtful and caring, and fun, making sure everyone gets plenty of snuggles while their humans are away. Thank you, Becky! We feel fortunate to have met you.”
“Taya was amazing. Our pets were well cared for and she gave us updates on how they were doing. It didn’t take long for them to warm up to her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Darla gave our kitties the attention they crave while we were out of town. Great communication and provided perfect care for our two cats. Thank you Darla!”
“Fiona is the best! She takes so many photos and videos while you are away and gives great daily updates. She goes above and beyond with everything and is overall just a wonderful person!!”
“Suanne has been incredible to work with. She takes exceptionally great care of my pups, is timely, and communicates well. One day, one of my dogs had an injury that needed medical attention. She called me while I was at work to inform me of the situation and stayed with my dog until I was able to get home. Fortunately, both of our schedules allowed for that to happen. She has been great in helping the same dog, who has separation anxiety, calm down a bit by using calming techniques, as well as providing me with the same guidance. She is quick to respond to inquiries and schedule changes/needs, and more than fairly priced & affordable for the work she does. She is dependable; I never worry whether or not she'll show. I HIGHLY recommend Suanne!”
“Meghan always does a great job for us and checks in to let us know how our doggo is doing each day! We are always grateful for her when she can take care of our animals!”
“We are traveling in an RV and had a couple of day long tours. Mishel came in to "walk" Maggie (Bicheon) once each day for about half an hour. She did fantastic and was great with her communications. Since we were in an RV we were difficult to find and it took extra effort for her to get to Maggie. I'd give her 6 stars if Rover would allow it :-)”
“We recently asked Sara to come drop-in on our cats and bunny while were out of town for a week. She was absolutely wonderful! She helped us out on relatively short notice and attended to all of our pets different needs. We received updates and photos with each visit. She was very respectful of our home and everything was in great shape when we returned. It's obvious that Sara has a love for the pets she cares for. We highly recommend Sara and hope to be able to call on her services again in the future!”
“Sasha took incredible care of our cats. She was very responsible, arriving at the designated times and following all of the feeding instructions. She was patient while they warmed up to her. I appreciated the fun photos and feedback she shared after each visit. I returned home to very happy and relaxed cats. This was evidence that she took tremendous care to make sure they were happy during her visits.”
“Christina was a great sitter for our dogs. They were well cared for and the pictures and updates kept us informed on how they were doing so we didn't have to worry. Our two are big and loud, but softies at heart and she did a great job with them. We plan to use Christina whenever we need a sitter going forward.”
“Vanessa was amazing! This is our first time leaving the dogs and I was nervous about being across the country. Once we left though I knew they were in good hands. I was able to actually relax! She was very communicative and I loved the pictures she sent. We'll definitely hire Vanessa again if we need the pups looked after!”
“Jen takes great care of my crazy bengals. Goes above and beyond with cat-proofing and always takes great photos of their antics. She’s communicative, reliable, and super timely. I can relax going out of town, knowing she’s taking care of them!”
“Rebecca was great with my kitties! One cat is very shy and the other is pretty sassy, but they both felt comfortable with Rebecca. She was very communicative and followed all instructions. I loved seeing her updates and photos each day. I would definitely use Rebecca again and would highly recommend her for cat sitting.”
“Olivia stepped in to help us on short notice and took wonderful care of our puppy. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup! She kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind, and it was clear she made our puppy feel loved and comfortable.”
About: Hey there! I've been loving animals for years - from my first pet, a kitty named Savannah, to recently watching my parents' house and pets! I'm flexible, communicative, easy-going, and I'll give your home and pets love so you can focus during your work trip or enjoy your much-deserved vacation! I'm experienced watching and caring for cats, dogs, homes, and more! Reasonably priced, because we all know what groceries cost these days! I work Mondays and Fridays from home and Tuesday - Thurs downtown. I am best suited for dogs that don't need mid-day walks everyday because of this. For morning and evening walks and general cat care and house-sitting, my schedule works like a charm! I do not have a home suitable for bringing pets into! However, I'm committed to treating your home like my own with tremendous care, attention to detail, abiding by your house rules, and making sure that your pets are well tended to!

Shelby did absolutely amazing checking on our fur children. She gave our sweet pup lots of walks and love. Sent a lot of photos and even got my sweet kitty to warm up to her.
