So grateful for Heather! She took great care of my dog and updated me of anything going on with her etc. Now I know if I leave out of town again she will be just fine, as I will be requesting Heather again!

Kristina was amazing with our puppy Willow!! She helped Willow get more confident on her walks and adventure out a little further each time! She also helped with redirecting Willow’s destructive behavior (of tearing up her pee pads) to a toy! I highly recommend Kristina and will look to her for more sitting in the future!

I am incredibly grateful to Stephanie for taking such great care of my dog, Joe. From the moment we talked, I could tell she was a true animal lover. She went above and beyond to ensure Joe was happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. Her communication was excellent, providing regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. Joe returned home healthy, happy, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Stephanie!

Saunie was really wonderful and considerate during her visits! Something that really stood out and meant a lot to me was the fact that she took into account the weather and our mini-Aussie’s double coat whenever she would take him out for walks :) he is one to overheat quickly, so Saunie gave him his longer walks in the evening. This was our pup’s first time with a pet sitter so Saunie’s detailed updates and pictures were very appreciated as well. Will most likely be booking with her again. Thank you, Saunie! :)

Kitty did such a great job taking care of my cat Bruce while we were out of town for a week. Mr Bruce needs wet food since he lost his teeth, and Kitty came twice a day to make sure he was fed and happy. This was our first time using Rover, and we were hesitant at first, but Kitty has given us such peace of mind on our trip. She is such a sweetheart and Bruce loves her!

Feeding and Hydration: I follow feeding guidelines provided by you, ensuring that pets receive the right portion of nutritious food and fresh water throughout the day. Health and Hygiene: Nail Trimming: Regular nail trimming is part of my commitment to maintaining your pet’s health. I carefully trim nails upon your request to prevent discomfort and ensure they are properly groomed. I also monitor their coat for any signs of matting or tangles and handle grooming needs as required. Health Monitoring: I keep a close eye on your pet’s overall health, observing any changes in behavior or physical condition. If needed, I’ll consult with you or your veterinarian to address any concerns promptly. Socialization and Enrichment: Engaging Activities: To keep pets mentally stimulated and entertained, I incorporate a variety of enrichment activities, such as puzzle toys, training exercises, and new experiences. This helps to keep their minds active and engaged. Companionship: Pets receive plenty of love and companionship throughout their stay. I make sure they feel secure and cherished, providing plenty of positive interactions and affection. By integrating these practices into my daily routine, I ensure that every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well-cared-for in my home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priorities.

Brenna was super helpful while I was out of town. She kept me updated on my dog’s digestive issues he was having that began after I left. She went above and beyond to make sure he was cared for in my absence. My dog had an accident between visits and she let me know immediately and provided the necessary care to my home so I came back with one less thing to worry about. This is my second time booking her and I feel even more confident that my dog is in good hands with her.

Amy was wonderful! We had an extended trip overseas and she was able to watch our cats as a last minute booking when a previous plan had fallen through! She was able to come meet the cats before we left and asked incredible questions to get all the best details to make everyone as comfortable and happy as possible. While we were away, she provided constant thorough updates and great pictures to help us feel at ease. We highly recommend her for pet care, and feel very happy and lucky that we had her for our furbabies! Thank you so much!

We will definitely recommend her to everyone and are so happy we found someone to watch our pups!!! ♥️

About: I love animals and have always had pets growing up. I currently have one dog and one bearded dragon. I work very well with animals and love being around them. I’m currently working remotely from home, which makes things much easier. I do go into the office once a week. I’m pretty flexible and can work with your schedule, to make it more convenient for you! I live a few blocks from a park and a few miles from a dog park! Since, I’m working from home, I’m capable of taking dogs on daily walks or runs. I have one dog who is very sweet! His name is Dexter and is a yellow lab.

Serene did a fabulous job figuring out what to do with my dogs. I forgot to leave out feeding instructions, and my boyfriend had put the dog dishes in the dishwasher, so I left no clue for her to find. She competently figured out how it made sense to feed them without having to call me during the event I was at. I’m very impressed with her composure and quick thinking. I’m so thankful for her patience.
