Tracy was so great with meeting my pup! She spent so much time and careful questioning to make sure she had all of the necessary information to take care of him. I feel very, very confident in recommending her to others.

About: I’ve owned many dogs over my lifetime. From a Min Pin to Collies, Retrievers and Pointers. I have taken care of friends and relatives animals while they were out of town. I have done long time sits (several weeks) to daily drop ins. I’m retired so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I love taking walks and getting to know each animal whether it’s to come hang out and play, feed etc or take for long or short walks. I don’t have any dogs or cats living with me now due to my landlord not allowing pet ownership. They don’t mind if I bring a dog here for short periods.

About: I have been taking care of friends, family members animals for over 2 years now while attending college. I love giving care to their furry friends while they are away. Having animals myself I understand the need to have a trustworthy caretaker while away! I look forward to become your pets new friend! I currently work 30/32 hours a week usually during the early mornings or mid afternoons. I have usually offered early morning walks or evening walks to those in need! I am able to do overnights as well, but always check to make sure the animals will be okay while I work! I have always tried to take care of the pets in the exact way the client has asked. I am able to sit in during meals, stay to get energy out, or even squirrel watch! I always try to make the animals stay in the routine that they have known!

Amy looked after our dog for the first time this weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions about meals, walks and our dog's routine and was very thorough in every detail. Amy kept us updated with photos and messages so we never wondered how things were going. Our usually shy dog warmed up to her immediately and I felt completely at ease being away knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We will absolutely work with her again!

About: With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I offer a loving and fun environment for your pets. I understand cats need a clean space, so I'm dedicated to keeping their litter box fresh. I'm also great at keeping dogs active and happy with lots of walks and play! I have open availability Monday through Friday and can be flexible to fit your pet’s routine. I’m available for dog walks and cat drop-ins throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I do my best to accommodate consistent schedules as well as occasional or short-notice requests. I focus on keeping pets safe and comfortable in their own home and routine. During dog walks, I use secure leashing, stay aware of our surroundings, and tailor each walk to the dog’s energy level and needs. For cat drop-ins, I respect each cat’s personality and boundaries while making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, clean litter, and get attention or playtime if they want it. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe and cared for

I needed someone to check in on my cats every few days while I was away on a long trip. Samantha was so kind and did exactly that. She even stopped by beforehand to meet everyone and get a tour. I also loved the photos she shared with me from her visits, they were wonderful and very reassuring that everyone was doing okay.

Bertie & Lissette took wonderful care of my dog, Briggs, during a very last-minute weekend trip. As a first-time Rover user, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but they exceeded my expectations in every way. They responded quickly and enthusiastically, arrived as scheduled, and provided regular updates, including photos and videos that gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Briggs looked happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Communication was excellent, the feedback was helpful, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to book with Bertie & Lissette again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters.

Kris is an extremely reliable and flexible pet caretaker. Travel is often stressful, but one thing I never worry about while I’m gone is my two cats. Kris takes excellent care of them, including giving medication twice a day. She also is very detailed in her Rover cards. Also, Kris is some kind of cat whisperer — she take the most adorable photos when she does check-ins. My one cat is a goblin but when I see her photos of him, he looks so cute I almost forget what an utter demon he is.

Hollister did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my kitties while I was away. She was reliable, punctual, and communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire process and visits. I loved receiving her detailed updates and excellent pictures, which brought me so much peace of mind while traveling. She followed all instructions carefully, including medication administration, and was very attentive to each of my cats and their needs. She kept their food, water, and litter area clean and clearly took great pride in providing excellent care. Hollister truly went above and beyond and treated my cats as if they were her own. Being away from them, knowing they were in such capable and caring hands, made the experience much easier. I strongly recommend Hollister to anyone looking for a compassionate person to care for their fur babies.

She's been patient with getting to know our very shy cat, who is now really comfortable around her and doesn't get stressed anymore when we're away (which is a big deal!). We so appreciate Mackenzie, and how she really does take care of our cat like she's her own.
