“Genny is always so helpful with our pup Maya. I appreciate having someone close by that’s dependable with my fur baby. I know Maya enjoys seeing her too.”
6. Katelynn J.
“Katelynn took very good care of our kitties. They both loved her and cuddled with her. She even brushed them. Our boy is usually very shy and anxious, but got along with her great immediately. We received videos and pictures. She knows a lot about cats, which is great, because one of our cats has health issues. It’s hard to find cat people on Rover, but she definitely is a cat person. We can highly recommend booking with her. We will definitely again. Thank you also from Bartleby and Lady ?”

9. Debbie L.
“Debbie gave me daily updates on each visit, sent me pictures was reliable so I didn’t have to worry about my pet while I was away, would recommend her services.”
10. Maricella N.
“Maricella was the best Rover sitter we've had by a landslide! She gave Maverick so much love and attention while we were gone for the weekend - she took him on the longest walks, gave him extra cuddles on the couch, and comforted him when some bad weather rolled through. Our dog Maverick is a big boy - 130lb Boxer-Bloodhound - and she was the first sitter who has ever met him that hasn't greeted him with some type of apprehension. She sent TONS of pictures - at least 50 more than we've ever received - and we knew from the start that he was safe and in good hands. We will absolutely be using Maricella at any and every opportunity from this point forward... ESPECIALLY since Maverick was looking all around the house for her when we got back! We could tell he enjoyed his time with her, and that's more than enough for us. Thank you, Maricella, you were exceptional!”
11. Bernice S.
“Bernice is a wonderful dog sitter! We feel good knowing Doge is in her care. With a new puppy, I was a little nervous about putting him in someone else's hands. Doge loves her because of her fun and loving way of connecting with him. We will definitely ask Bernice to watch him again!”

About: Pet sitting is a rewarding and fulfilling job that requires patience, compassion and a love for animals. I started pet walking and house sitting for family friends and neighbors at 12 years old. This helped me develop a strong bond with animals and taught me the importance of responsible pet care. With two years of experience working at a boarding/grooming facility I have expanded my skill set to include giving pets medication, dealing with and overcoming scared/aggressive behaviors, providing extra care for old/disabled pets. I was also a cross country runner for 6 years so your babies will get plenty of exercise! I understand the value of trust and reliability when it comes to taking care of someone’s beloved pets, and I take pride in providing top-notch care for furry friend that comes my way! Pet sitting is my primary occupation! I’m so grateful to be able to provide around the clock care for your pets, so they can be checked in on as frequently as needed. I offer top-quality care for your pets. Every day, I start with a 3 mile run with my two dogs, followed by a mix of training, playtime with toys, and leisurely walks filled with exploration. My dogs are crated when Im away and during bedtime occasionally but they also enjoy lounging on the furniture during the day. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement and redirection using treats and toys! Rest assured, your pets will receive the utmost attention and care under my watch.

I would definitely recommend her!”
