1. Leah H.
“Leah was a lifesaver for us when we needed to go out of town! She responded quickly and made sure she understood all our instructions for our cat and dog. We always worry when leaving our overly excited labrador because he can bombard people when they come in but she handled it perfectly! We're so thankful for her help!”
2. Elizabeth G.
“Elizabeth was awesome while we were out of town! Within 10 minutes of sending a request for availability, she had responded and set up a meet & greet the same night to ask us questions and see if we had any for her. She was timely and communicated well throughout the weekend. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”
3. Ren M.
“Ten was fantastic with my 2 fur babies who need to be fed 2x a day. Even my very shy cat came out to see her. Will absolutely be booking with REN again. Excellent visit notes as well.”
4. Jackie M.
“She did a fantastic job at taking care of our cats. Took excellent pictures and detailed updates to let us know they were having fun playing and relaxing. Thank you for doing such a great job, will rebook for sure!”
5. Sophia T.
“Sophia did a great job caring for our cats for four days. I would highly recommend her and will be using her to watch our cats in the future.”
6. Lauren U.
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was gone for a long weekend trip. She was on time every time and sent lots of updates and pictures. She even spent a little extra time with them to make sure they got lots of attention and love. Reasonable price too! Highly recommend her!!!”
7. Lilinoe K.
“Lili is a complete life saver she came over last minute for me and it’s not something she does often but it really helped me and I can’t thank her enough. She loved my pup like he was hers and kept me updated.”
8. Wendy C.
“🐾🦴We used Wendy for the first time for drop in visits for our 2 medium sized dogs. She came over for an initial visit and they instantly liked her! We knew they would be in good hands for a week of visits. I would definitely recommend Wendy and I will absolutely rebook with her in the future! Thanks Wendy!! ❤️”
9. Carson C.
“Carson took great care of my cat, Oliver, while I was out of town for a work trip. Very communicative, respectful, and professional. I’ll definitely book him again if I need him! 10/10.”
10. Brandi M.
“Brandi is great with dog and uses assertive commands when need to gain my dogs attention. She is very nurturing with our rambunctious golden doodle and handles our elderly dogs with care as well. They absolutely loves to see her when she tends to them.”
11. Tekera S.
About: I have a Bichon/ Shi tzu who I love and is like a child to me. Let me know if it isn’t okay to bring him around your pets and it isn’t a problem at all. I am excited to meet more pets . I’d love to work with your pets and look forward to meeting every one. I'm currently doing this as part time for myself to make a little extra cash. My main availability will be during the weekends and for drop ins during the week if available. I currently live with a roommate but they will not mind if I took in a pet for care. Currently, I typically help care for my friends pets if they are out of town but have no issue helping others.
12. Brett C.
“Brett did a fantastic job, taking care of my 13-year-old lab and 1 yd GSP he was there every day taking care of them and making sure they were fed and had water got lead out to go to the bathroom.”
13. Erin R.
“I have known Erin since middle school and she’s always grown up around animals. Whether it was her parents’ cats or her own two cats, she’s always made sure all of them have exactly what she needs. Fast forward when I travel for work, she takes care of my 8 year old lab mix until I get back. She’s more than capable of taking care of pets in all shapes and sizes and is an all around great person to boot!”
14. Colleen S.
“Colleen was great with our two dogs, Brodie and Sara. She came over prior to the trip and met both dogs and reviewed our wishes in detail. She was prompt each day and we received a report on each visit to include a picture of both dogs. When we arrived home Brodie and Sara were happy and playful unlike when we pick them up from the kennel and they look emotionally and physically beat down. We will be using Rover and Colleen for our future needs.”
15. Theresa B.
“Theresa was fantastic with our two cats! She came to check on them once a day for 4 straight days and always around the same time of day. She sent several pics and a little summary of what was done and how the boys were doing after each visit. Most important of all is how our cats were when we came home… both were happy and healthy. Usually when we’re gone for a bit, our cat with herpes virus has a flare up and one eye will get droopy and watery. Not this time! His eye looked great which tells us that he was well taken care of while we were away. We won’t hesitate to book her again the next time we’re going out of town!”
16. Katrina M.
“Katrina is awesome! Our collie babies already love her! Thanks for taking such good care of them!”
17. Amanda P.
“Amanda is not only a great dog owner/sitter, But she is an amazing person as well. She is a joy to converse with and always leaves you feeling cared for. She Is extremely attentive, as if they were her own babies. I feel extremely confident recommending Amanda to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
18. Jen & Jason M.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Jen Mefford for ten years as a nurse co-worker and friend. She exemplifies all the qualities you want in a pet caregiver; she is calm, loving and attentive. My dog, Sam, has had the privilege of spending time at Jen's and had a great time with the other pups. I strongly recommend Jen as your pup caregiver and Sam gives Jen two paws up!”
19. Cynthia P.
“Booked her for 30 minutes a day. Just needed her to feed and check on my dogs while we were away and she did that and also spent time to work with my dogs. The short time she was with them I noticed major changes in my dogs when I came back! Fantastic lady she is a dog whisperer and I highly recommend her to everyone!”
20. Danielle C.
“Danielle is the absolute best! We are so lucky to have found her. Beau had a great time and we had peace of mind knowing she was coming to take care of him! Danielle is very accommodating and gives extra TLC to furry family members. We couldn’t be happier!”
