“June was very flexible with scheduling and it was clear she loves animals. Kenai adored her. I was given daily updates and photos. She was wonderful, I would book with her again!”
“I absolutely loved having Heather take care of our precious babies. We have a doodle and a kitten and both were well taken care off. Heather spent two nights at our house with both pets. Our dog immediately took to her and was very comfortable. Our kitten is a kitten and needed some time which is normal. Heather followed our provided instructions and was kind enough to keep us updated and available when we checked in on the pets. Heather also left a follow-up note behind stating how both pets did and kept the house as it was. We are looking forward to building a long time relationship with Heather for as long as she is available.”
“Cole is great. He has pet-sat (as well as walked) our (too energetic) dog. Super reliable. Clear communication. And attention to detail. Very lucky to have found him and will certainly book again.”
“Matt did a terrific job caring for my senior Great Dane, Fred. I was very relieved to be able to go on my trip and not be concerned or feeling stressed about my pet and the care he was receiving. The entire week went smoothly and Matt kept me informed how things were going at home. I definitely will use Matt’s services again when my plans call for someone to stay and care for Fred when travel becomes necessary for me. Thank you Matt for excellent service”
“Myrna did great with our dog. He can be nervous around new people but Myrna knew how to handle it and he warmed up to her in no time. She sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were gone.”
“We really appreciated how attentive Katie was with our cats, they’re very spoiled, and she handled them perfectly! She was also super punctual. The love and care she gave our cats truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her, and we already have another booking with her for next month!”
“We loved meeting Nicole and having her housesit our 3 pups while we took time away for an extended vacation. She is so sweet, very responsive and sent us lots of pics while we were away which put our minds at ease! The puppies loved spending time with her and our home was well taken care of. I know our pups can tend to be a handful, the extra time and attention she provided them was appreciated! Will definitely be booking with Nicole again!”
“Shayla was wonderful! I reached out on very short notice when my other sitter fell through. We had a meet and greet and the very next day I left for my trip. She was very attentive to Manny who was currently taking meds fighting a cough. I got constant updates and returned home to a very happy pup. We look forward to seeing Shayla again!”
About: I love animals and have been around and cared for them all of my life. I have three dogs of my own and live on a 50 acre farm. The back area is fenced, 1/2 acre. I do work during the day so my husband cares for our Rover pets while I am gone. All dogs love him and he is home during the day. I am a very experienced horse owner and can provide care for livestock as well as cats, dogs and birds. I raise Andalusian horses and have been around them most of my Life. Pets are my passion, are important and I love to be around them. They make me happy and I would love to pamper your pets! For house sitting clients, I do work from 6-2pm. I am happy to house sit but am gone during those hours. My husband lets the dogs out as needed all day long. He is home all of the time, so we do not leave our boarders alone. Our clients pets interact with our own pets. We cannot take in pets that do not get along with other dogs and cats. Our boarders will sleep with us or on their own bed if one is brought.
“We so appreciated the care Auntie Lynn provided for our Charlie when she stayed at our house for an extended period of time. We got updates and pics. Everything went smoothly. Highly recommended! Thank you, Lynn!”
“Jeanette did a terrific job watching our lab in our home. She went above and beyond in every way! We will wholeheartedly welcome her back and Remy will miss her until then.”
“Lauren did an amazing job with our dog and home while we were away for an extended trip. She was great at communicating and sending pictures and videos and she is responsible and trustworthy and kind. I highly recommend her services.”
“Heather was so helpful during an emergency situation where my last sitter canceled the day I left before an international trip. Heather was patient, communicative, and even went to the store to get more food when an unexpected rodent problem left Terra without enough for the week. My home was clean and ready for me to arrive which was such a relief after such a stressful situation. I would definitely have Heather back. Thank you so much!”
“Erin was great with Lily and Willow while we were away. She accommodated our unexpected travel schedule and checked in to give us comfort while gone. Willow hads allergy-related paw issues and she addressed them as instructed and also noted how it progressed or lessened. Both our girls loved her and we'd have her back in a heartbeat. She watched them in our home, and the house was tidy and well cared for. Thank you, Erin!”
About: I grew up on a farm with every kind of pet from dogs and cats to reptiles and horses. My friends often ask for help with training, care and feeding and I have raised multiple cats and dogs from puppy/kitten-hood, to adulthood. My friends and family often call me the dog whisperer because I can coax timid dogs to my hand and work well with pets who have anxiety. I have a full time job but I’m available before and after work as well as lunch time if near my workplace and on weekends. I’m an avid runner/walker and enjoy long trips around the neighborhood. I also recently lost my 15 year old Scottish Terrier to old age, so I’m responsive to the needs of dogs throughout their lifespan. I’ve lived with cats from Siamese to tabby and understand the quirks of the breeds.
