“Chelsea was able to drop in and take care of my fur family with very little notice, when our regular pet sitter was unavailable She sent great pictures, stayed in touch during her visit and even got along with my temperamental Chorkie. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Melissa and her partner Stephen were very patient when meeting my anxious dogs. They allowed both dogs their own space and time to acclimate to them in a way that made me feel very comfortable leaving them with them for a drop in visit in preparation for a potential long term sit.”
“All went well.”

“Kim was a fantastic kitty sitter! I was away for 8 days. She followed my care requests exactly and sent me photos every day, which I appreciated. I came home to a happy cat. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up around animals most of my life. Due to my family’s allergies we no longer were able to keep animals in the house. However that feeling of having a furry friend was something I missed. Having dog sit and cat sit prior these experiences really made me miss having a furry companion. I’m there to play and entertain your pet as well as value their safety. Having done my own research on cat and dog behavior and common concerns my price is still set low for my lack of professional experience I attend school in the morning and go to work part time as a pca. Taking care of elderly in their homes. Looking for this to be a part time gig as I cannot devote a greater time to it. I am moving out so my location will change but u currently do not have a fence in yard. I hope that if I work with a dog they do have some sort of years space where they can around and enjoy time.
“Kimberly was such a wonderful and reliable sitter! I strongly recommend her. She was so loving and our dogs adored her. She sent us many pictures and video throughout our trip that really made us smile. I will be sure to recommend her to all my friends and family and we will definitely be using her again when we take a vacation!”
“Olivia has been absolutely amazing with Gunther! She consistently arrives right on time, making sure he gets the attention and playtime he loves. Her reliability and dedication mean so much, and it’s clear that Gunther adores her. It’s always a joy to see how happy he is when she’s around! Thank you, Olivia, for your kindness, punctuality, and the love you show Gunther! You’re truly appreciated! 🐾👏”
“Melissa was amazing with our Stella! This was our first time using rover and Melissa made us feel comfortable and secure that Stella was in great hands! We will definitely be using Melissa again and can’t recommend her enough! :)”
