1. Stephanie P.
“We normally have friends watch our kitties but recently were only able to get friends to visit in the evenings. We were very nervous having someone we didn't know taking care of of our little furballs but Stephanie was incredible. She spent time during the meet and greet to get all the needed information, and to get to know the cats and have them know her. Each check in, she sent amazing pictures of our little fur babies and updated us on anything we should know. The cats were well taken care of and quickly trusted her. Its so much piece of mind that Stephanie takes such great care of them, both food and playing/enrichment. You can tell she's an animal lover! We'd definitely recommended her services!”

9. Yvonne R.
“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”

My pomsky adores her and he loves her dog peach. No one else I would trust my pet with for such an extended period of time, she is the best!”
14. Pattie J.
“Pattie is the most loving, devoted dog mom you'll ever see. She spent years caring for her own flock of pampered and loved dogs, who lived to be upwards of 15 and treated like her own little puppy children all the while. She regularly took them to the doctor, to play dates with other dogs, got them fancy food and treats, toys, and plenty of attention. Grade A candidate for caretaking a puppy”

16. Porfirio & Tímea R.
About: I bring ongoing dedication to the profession and treat each and every individual/family member as a bright addition to my life. All experiences are treasured and completely long lasting. School starts September, until then I have availability around the clock....overnight sitting is only a call away, and I am flexible when it comes to my weekends. I have had experience as a safety patrol, thus I am alert and very confident when it comes to dog walking. As for the term "caring" I am pretty verse. I love animals and would do anything for them, and my previous profession was in health care, so doing things for others is my forté. I am a free bird this summer, full availability. I can manage mutliple bookings in one timeslot, no rush, no worries. I will get to everyone. Of course priority rules. And the owners will always be aware of schedule overlappings. I am happy to say that I am well versed in pet care techniques and dog walking attiquet and formalities. If there is a special place you would like me to walk your dog, that can be arranged. I am open to walking at specific areas/parks. On a side note, I am familiar with dog-cat interactions and am aware of unsettling/warning-signs. I'll do whatever it takes to make both part-ies more comfortable during the stay. The days that are filled with availability is very flexible, in the sense that there is shared responsibility amongst us and splitting up and making it all work--confidently, makes us efficient. The kind of person that we are is very pleasing to the every day client. We are the thoughtful and understanding person that can be relied on. This is key in making a first impression, and work-client relationships-- that will last for a lifetime.

“Kelly has taken care of my super senior kitty twice now and both times she's been wonderful. The written updates and pictures are consistent and appreciated. Boots and I feel very comfortable and happy with Kelly's care.”
18. Jill B.
“Jill was so great! She was able to check on my pups when I had a last minute cancelation with another sitter (not a rover). She was so kind and even took the time to meet the boys before. During her visit she was very observent and took great care of my boys! Will be booking her again in the future!”
19. Cheyenne B.
“Cheyenne is outstanding. She went above and beyond for my 3 cats and I never had to worry if they were being taken care of when I was gone for a week. 10/10 would recommend.”
20. Liena B.
“Liena always does a wonderful job with my rabbit. She cares and has patience. I'm very thankful for her.”
