“Liz was incredible with our older dog. She was always there on time, even early during his morning visits. She brought treats and sent so many adorable photos of how well he was doing while we were away. I would absolutely use Liz again in the future. What a gem!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Jeffrey. He took such great care of our diabetic cat so we could rest easy on vacation.”
“Felicia was awesome! We just needed someone to watch our cat while we were away for a few days. She was super communicative and great with our elderly, persnickety cat! She stopped by two times daily, and took lots of photos and kept me up to date with every little detail. Highly recommended! Thank you, Felicia! :)”
“Chloe was very responsive and ensured that she got to know our Bert before we left. She sent me cute pictures of him to ensure all was well while we were away. Thanks Chloe!”
“Amy is wonderful! She did drop in visits for my two dogs while I was on vacation for 2 weeks. I could tell my dogs liked having her around from the daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely be requesting her pet services in the future!”
“Lee was fabulous, and I can tell from the photos how much my cat enjoyed her time with him! He went the extra mile by timing a visit to “witness” her food dropping in the auto feeder. Impressive!”
“Sophie did a great job taking care of our kitties! She sent lots of photos and we felt better leaving them while we were on vacation knowing she was there.”
“Mallory went above and beyond for our senior bunny. She obviously knows her way around small animals and was very understanding of his grouchy temperament with a new person in his space. She got him to warm up to her in just a few visits and she did extra cleaning around the house that was not required. We loved coming home to a clean home and a happy bunny”

About: I may not have a lot of pet experience but when I love something, I do it 110% I work full time in mental health /substance use and as you can imagine, my day to day is extremely stressful and I talk to rude people with a smile on my face. But around animals, it’s a real smile. They love us so unconditionally and do so much for us, how can you not give your pet the world and them some after that? All I want to do is make sure every animal feels love, safe and happy. I work 4, 10 hour days a week and 3 days off. I can easily squeeze in multiple drop ins, walks, and house sitting on my days off which are Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. Even a small overnight could be possible. I also work from home often. Sundays are my guaranteed work from home day so I can find drop in or walk times. As well as house sitting on Sundays! Saturdays, I’m off earlier, clock out by 6:30, so I can definitely squeeze in a night drop in or 2. Monday’s and Tuesdays are my “in office all day” days so I wouldn’t be able to do anything those 2 days, but every other day, I can work something out no problem! I try my best to not break their routine. I have a pretty good understanding of animal body language and I can tell when they are stressed or overwhelmed. Me being a stranger to them, can already have them slightly stressed. So the best thing I can do for them is to continue doing what they already know.
“Harlee did a GREAT job caring for my cat! She was so communicative of her stop in visits and my cat seemed to barely notice I had left! Would highly recommend!”
“Abigale is very sweet, reliable, and made us feel like our cat was loved while we were gone! She sent great updates and pictures that helped us not miss our little guy so much :)”
“Violet loves Jora!!! I think she may even like her more than me. 😂 It’s apparent that Jora is an animal lover through and though, she immediately bonded with Violet and was super communicative through the whole process. I won’t be leaving my dog with anyone else from now on, Jora is the best of the best and I’m sure your fur children will love her just as much as Violet did 😍”
“Rachel was fantastic! Hired her to come let out the fur babies while we attended a wedding. She was very punctual, responsive, and even sent progress pictures. Thanks for stopping by!”

She treats your fur baby like family.”
