“Erin came and met my cats prior to starting. She was very responsive and friendly. She did great while we were away. She sent pictures and kept us updated everyday. Very reasonable and reliable! Would definitely recommend!!”
“Lauren is amazing! She's meticulous and joyful with my dog Madeleine. Such a relief when I am away at work to known Lauren is coming to walk my girl and that Madeleine will have such a great day with her.”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from yorkies to German shepards to Great Danes. I have kept my families dogs at my place while they are on vacation for at least a week. I have experience staying at the owners house to care for pets and also boarding pets in my own home. I’m an active person and a strength athlete, so if your pet is active and needs walks, we will both we getting in our steps together. Active by day, but definitely a couch potato by night! I’m a hybrid 9-5 employee and I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Depending on my weekend availability, I can board pets in my home for one night or multiple night between Friday and Monday Agreeing to care for your pet means not only treating your pet with love and respect, but also understanding your needs and boundaries with your furry loved one. I will always ensure I understand instructions clearly to deliver the best service possible!
“Rachel was very helpful with my two cats and had great communication, and even called to ask if anyone had been in the house between visits when things didn't look the same (the cats had moved a curtain). Her diligence was greatly appreciated. Would certainly hire again.”
“Sammy was great showed up on time and played with My Boys when she was there she always sent me updates and pics and my boys were taken care of very well. I would highly recommend her.”
“Jessica and her husband were wonderful with my cats while we were away for two weeks. Very attentive, respectful, caring, and kept in touch throughout. Highly recommended and will be using her services again when we need any pet sitting!”
“Prompt, professional, a loving caregiver for our two cats. Mary asked insightful questions about their care and made sure she knew where treats, toys and other necessities were before we left. This is our first time having her sit and we’d love to invite her back”
“Elizabeth was great!! It was our first time using her services and we were very pleased. She texted us every day to let us know how our kitties were doing. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Karinna did an excellent job with my cats. Even my tortie started to warm up to her. She was prompt with the feeding times and sent great pictures. It was comforting to know I didn’t have to worry about them ❤️ Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 6 years old. I have pet sitting experience both with boarding and in home care. I've worked at a grooming place bathing, drying, and brushing cats and dogs. Pet care is my only job. My schedule is open. So I have full availability. I am also not attending college right now so there's no issues there. We have other friendly pets in the house to keep your fur babies company. We have a backyard for them to use the bathroom and play. My neighborhood is also good for dog walks.
About: I’ve raised and cared for dogs and cats (even a squirrel!) since I was a small child. From endlessly tossing frisbees for high energy Australian Shepherds to helping senior Retrievers with stiff hips, I’ve experienced quite a bit! Every pet is unique and my goal is to personalize care so you can relax while away knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I’ve decided to pursue dog and cat sitting full time on Rover, my schedule is an open book for pet check ins and overnight stays. Please feel free to reach out for last minute bookings! I understand booking a new pet sitter can be intimidating. Just like your pet, I treat your home like it was my own and I leave your space exactly how you left it or better.
“Jo was terrific! Very communicative and responsible. She sent us photos every day of our cat Olivia who seem to have a terrific time visiting with her. I would highly recommend Jo to anyone looking for someone who wants to be sure that their pet will be well taken care of.”
