“Charlotte is great with our two cats! They are you a nd have lots of energy, and require lots of play and attention They are also "door darters" and she has proven to be careful and diligent about keeping them safely inside. Thanks Charlotte !”

“I have two medium size dogs, one of which is having anxiety since the passing of my husband. Introducing Danielle to them I found she was very cognizant of their different personalities. Danielle is very aware of dogs and how they interact with changes. She is trustworthy, reliable and updated me every visit with comments on how they were doing along with photos. I highly recommend Danielle.”

“thank you so much for watching our babies. You did such a great job and we were really at ease, knowing that you were going in there every day and taking really care of our babies. We really appreciate it.”

“Shannon was amazing! Made sure our cats were well taken care of while we were away, cleaned up after them, and gave us such peach of mind! Will definitely book her again next time!”


About: I’ve been housesitting for several years for various people, with various animals, from as small as fish, and hamsters, to large farms with horses, pigs, chickens and way more! I find most my peace relaxing with animals I currently work in person 3 days a week, and will find time to consistently be at home with the animals. I am very good with time management, and having a balance with work, personal responsibility, and responsibility taking care of animals and helping people out. I follow instructions and advice given to me. I care for animals as if they were my own. I love being able to help others out with their furry babies and light house work tasks.
“I highly recommend Tiffany, she was great with our 3 dogs and cat. She was able to stop by twice a day while we were out of town for a week and sent daily updates. It was our first long trip without our dogs so it was so nice having someone that we could trust take care of them for us.”

About: Suz and Brian have both been lifelong pet parents. Suz worked for a pet hospital for years and almost all of our pets over the last 20 years have been special needs rescue babies.(diabetic, blind, deaf, liver shunt, dementia, cancer, etc) This means we are well versed in special needs care for your special needs kiddos. Pills, SubQ injections, SubQ fluids, bandage changes, glucose testing, Suz works remotely from home, available to your pet as needed through the day for loves, medicine, etc. Brian currently works out of the home but will be retiring soon and will then be 100% dedicated to caring for the pets of our clients! We are available for meet and greet, home checks, and drop off/pick up almost any time day or night and will work with you to schedule what is best for you and your pet(s). Ensuring you are comfortable with who is caring for your pet(s) is second only to your pet(s) safety and well being in our care! Cat boarding: since we have a cat of our own and we know other cats may not be ooen to meeting her (she is ok with others.. mostly ignores them) we have a dedicated cat boarding room where she cannot go near them. Our yard has no grass (rock and astroturf) so no nasty ticks riding our coattails into the home to come in contact with your kitty. Brian is available for drop in care or overnight boarding in your home for dogs and/or cats. This is what we prefer for our own pets when we are away, maintaining their routines etc as best as possible, so want to be sure you have this option too! All of our personal pets are fully vaccinated and receive regular flea treatment.
“We were nervous about leaving out cats with someone we didn't know, but throughout every step of the process, Olivia was courteous, friendly, and explained the process. She cared very well for our cats and we will definitely use her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Samantha and I am 26 years old. I joined rover to earn some extra money while spending some time with furry (or non furry) friends.

I treat each and every animal with the love, care, and respect that they deserve. I am very compassionate and take the time to tend to one’s animals as if they were my own. My rates are flexible depending on the animal(s), and the situation. I am able to flex my schedule around your needs!

However, depending on the situation, and the animal, a short stay in my home may be an option. Hopefully I can be your next pet or house sitter. I have recommendations upon request. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon!!
