“We truly appreciate everything Marcela did for our girls while we were away. As first time Rover users, we were a bit apprehensive about the whole process but she put us at ease. She sent us lots of photos of our girls where could see that they were happy and immediately bonded with her. She kept us updated with regular messages and provided quick responses to our questions. We would definitely book Marcela again.”


“Hieu and Anna were so amazing to our huskies while we were gone. One of our pups was newly adopted and needed extra love and encouragement and they were able to provide that! They provided many updates throughout the day giving me piece of mind that they were living the best life with their aunties 😁 We're so grateful for them!”


“We have used Anna for walks and an overnight stay. She is dedicated to her clients and is also one of the kindest people we have met. Before caring for our pup, she made sure to book time in advance for a meet n greet and to understand the schedule and figure out where things are located. She took great care of our little guy and kept us updated with pictures. I recommend Anna and look forward to having her help out in the future!”

About: Raised both cats and dos, every little (or big) furry friend has their quirks. Here to help find and address your pets needs while letting them have safe fun! Best during Early morning, Evenings, and weekends work best. Can do some Wednesdays. Willing to make it work for your and your schedule if i can. I give each client their own needs and space in a case by case basis. Won’t have many pets at once so i can focus on each of them.
