Great communication from beginning to end, daily photos of food, water, litter box and pets. My boys were so well taken care of, I think they’re sad I’m back.

I cannot say enough positive things about Hannah! She continues to show her reliability & trustworthiness week in and week out. Our dogs love and trust her very much! With how important they are to us we were very skeptical that we’d be able to find someone who we trusted would lovingly care for them the way they are accustomed to, but we found that with Hannah!

I liked working with Chloe, she’s super nice and kind. We were able to communicate well and adjust accordingly due to my work schedule changing. She was punctual and my pups liked having her ☺️. I will definitely reach out again in the future. Thank you Chloe

Carli did another great job with our dogs and cat while we were on a weekend trip! She made sure to give them plenty of time to run and play with every visit, and they love her company. She continues to be our go-to!

This is our second time booking with Jenna, and we couldn’t be happier. We were away during a heatwave, and she was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was okay. As always, we are grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and care and attention to our baby kitty. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a great sitter!

Chelsea was absolutely amazing. We went out of town for the holidays for a few weeks and she dropped in frequently to check on our kitty. She was always informative, took lots of pictures and did sooooo much for us beyond the normal animal care. We will definitely look to Chelsea first before anyone else to care for our animals. I cannot say enough great things about her!

About: I've had pets my whole life, from birds, reptiles, and fish to dogs, cats and rodents, so I know my way around various pets and how to take care of them, as such any special needs won't be too far out of my expertise. When it comes to dogs I've taken two puppies of mine to training classes and am willing to work with whatever training you have in place with your dog, whether that is working on correcting behaviors like jumping or continuing to teach them certain tricks while you're away, I will try my best to make sure they stay on the right track! Cats are the kind of pet I've had for the longest and know the best, even though none of mine so far have been major trouble makers I know how fickle some can be. I'm not afraid to do the occasional litterbox clean if needed or to keep an eye on them during their occasional zoomies. Currently my schedule is pretty flexible, I'm available any day from noon to midnight so if you need someone to check in on your pet overnight I'm available! I'm willing to work with any dietary needs and/or restrictions your pet has and as I've given medications to my pets before I would be able to give your pet any if they needed it during my visit. I'm big into teaching my dogs how to be respectful on a walk so I would be willing to continue any on walk training you may have!

Esther made using Rover for the first time incredibly easy. She was able to come by my house to take care of my cat, while I was out of town. Esther sent pictures and was easy to contact throughout the entire process. I definitely plan to contact her in the future and recommend that you do, as well!

Ayda stopped by to let my two boys out and sit with them for a bit while I had to work OT. She sent pictures and made sure they went potty before she left. She even brought in my packages from the porch that had been delivered earlier in the day.

Came home to the happiest cats after 10 days - Elaine came and played with them, monitored their litter box, and made sure all the birdseed was down to provide their CatTV - couldn’t have asked for better communication or care.
