Shawne was great she followed all instructions, cleaned up any messes, and was very easy to get a hold of. For the 30 minute drop-ins she stayed for a little over an hour (maybe that was 30 mins per dog, but it was great!) She sent a report card for each drop-in which showed the path of their walk, if the dogs went to the bathroom, and included multiple pics of the dogs. I would definitely recommend!

We have a brand new puppy and I work full time. Janice came in clutch dropping in once a day to help check in on our tiny one. Time outside, a little love and some snacks. Just enough til we got back home to her. I truly don’t know how people raised puppies before without the help of someone like her. She was super fast to respond, easy to work with, and I’m not surprised she has so many great reviews. We will absolutely be using her again when needed.

We had never used Liliana before, but we were really happy with how everything went. She was very professional from the start and took the time to meet with us and the cats ahead of the visits, which immediately made us feel comfortable. She was thorough during each drop-in and handled everything we asked for without any issues. Her updates were thoughtful and detailed, and we really appreciated the photos and notes about how the cats were doing each time she stopped by. Overall, it was a great experience. We felt confident leaving our cats in her care and would definitely use her again in the future.

About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.

I was skeptical about using Rover as a means to having someone come into our home and watch after our 2 dogs. I had set up a meet and greet through Emily to met her co-sitter Rob (as Emily was not directly available at the time). Rob came right on time was kind and courteous! He has a natural ability with dogs and made notes of how our dog’s routine goes. While we were gone, Rob and Emily both sent plenty of updates and pics of the dogs! The communication was excellent the whole way through and we look forward to Emily and/or Rob watching after these 2 again soon! It’s not everyday that you get to trust someone off of the internet but, I will definitely trust Emily and Rob!

I do enjoy taking the dogs to the state park if the weather is nice. I also have access to a doggy daycare after hours and take the dogs there so they can run and play for a few hours.

Madison did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She is kind, respectful, responsive and responsible! She sent pictures and updates and even brought in our packages. My cats were well taken care of and the litter box was obviously thoroughly cleaned each time.

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and giving pets lots of attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re gone. I work in a nursing home salon doing hair on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m self-employed and work from home the rest of the week, which gives me a flexible schedule. At this time I’m not offering pet care in my home because I have a German Shepherd who isn’t comfortable with other animals.

Jennifer was great! I hadn't followed up with her regarding access to Legend but yet she remained diligent regarding gaining access to him. I also appreciated her willingness to work with Legend. Being that he is a pit bull that can be intimidating to most but she took on the challenge. Thank you again Jennifer! I hope to book you in the future.

About: i have been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. i previously owned an australian shepherd, so i’m very familiar with high energy dogs, keeping up with routines, walks, playtime, and making sure they get plenty of attention and stimulation. i’ve also owned rabbits before, which gave me experience caring for smaller animals and being attentive to different needs and temperaments. while i haven’t personally owned a cat yet, i’ve spent a lot of time around my sister’s cats and helping care for them as well. animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and i’ve always been someone friends and family trust around their pets. i’m very patient, reliable, gentle, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel comfortable and cared for. i currently have a very flexible schedule, so i’m available for daytime drop ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week. i’m able to plan my schedule around bookings and always do my best to be dependable, communicative, and accommodating to both pets and owners’ needs when caring for pets in a client’s home, i always make safety a priority for both the pet and the home itself. i pay close attention to routines, instructions, doors, gates, leashes, feeding directions, and making sure pets stay in safe environments at all times. if a yard is fenced, i still keep a close eye on pets while they’re outside and make sure everything is secure before letting them out. i’m very calm and confident around animals, and i think that helps them warm up to me quickly and feel comfortable. i’m patient, attentive, and always try to build trust with pets while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and stress-free while their owner is away.

About: I have been the lucky human partner of many cats and dogs. Your dog and/or cat will be treated like I would care for my own, with love, care and kindness. If they have special needs I'm happy to be your care extender. I am retired and self-directing, so my schedule can typically be tailored on an individual basis to fits the needs of Fido or Feline. I prefer advance notice and planning so there is a chance to build trust and familiarity with your best friend. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home. I can pet sit in your home if desired. Individualized plans are based on your needs.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I’m retired so you would not have to worry about your dog or cat. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog or cat. I would take care of your animal as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, and through those years they interest me more and more. I had/have multiple cats and dogs, and the connection with them has been something I couldn’t imagine not experiencing. Plus, the knowledge I have gained from being around familiar animals makes me feel I would love experiencing new things with other pets, and get to know their unique personalities. With that being said, I am open to almost any training/service necessary for your dog(s) or cat(s) needs and would love to get to know your fuzzy family! I’ve just started school, and my classes are every weekday from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, just so you’re aware if that contradicts any booking requirements you need. I have my own pets to take care of, but other than that I don’t have consistent routines that would get in the way of the times and dates I’m available. For drop-ins, I will do feedings, outdoor/potty time, and get to know your pet(s). If there’s any questions or other service not noted that you’d like to ask I can do, I would be happy to answer. Walks- I do at least 15 minute walks, and up to 90 minute walks. More characterized questions, such as walking area or what certain necessities your pet(s) needs can be discussed once I have contact/a schedule with you.

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!
