“Samantha offered excellent care and attention to my little kitty. My cat is not one to snuggle with just anyone. Samantha worked to engage her and to give her the cuddles while I was away. She communicated and offered nice pictures of my little girl. She helped when a last minute issue led to a couple of extra days. Thanks for Great care!”

“Patricia was fantastic and absolutely the right person to care for our four kitties while we were away. I’m a Rover sitter myself, so I have high expectations - Patricia met every one. She sent frequent pictures of the cats looking happy and healthy, receiving love and getting play time in. She was responsive to our texts and followed every instruction to a T - and I left her a seven page document with instructions, LOL. so it was a lot for her to do/remember but really she executed flawlessly. She left our home in the same condition she found it, which is a key hallmark of a great sitter, in my opinion. She also took out the trash and retrieved mail and packages as asked. I would enthusiastically recommend Patricia to any cat parent looking for someone kind, communicative, and responsible to care for their fur babies!”

About: passion and love for pets and pet safety certified + CPR / First Aid certified!! I have started my official journey of pet care and grooming 4 years ago! What began as just dog walking and drop ins, turned into my full time job in dog grooming and walking. My neighborhood and friends have relied on me to care for the pups and raved in the reviews to keep on coming back. My absolute favorite part of my job is the moment a dog is relaxed enough to fall sleep during the groom. As well as being able to play with my fur client then do a make over! My favorite grooms are seniors. Currently I work mainly in grooming. Pampering pups with bubble baths and a fresh haircuts/make overs. Leaving me plenty of time to care for your pup with a drop in or walk in the early morning or just in time for that evening walk! I’m also available for weekend boardings! I have a spacious fenced in yard to let your pup use the bathroom as often as needed or some well deserved play times! I have 1 friendly and playful female dog to keep your fur baby company and entertained. I can easily crate any dog or provide a quiet space when/if relief is needed.

“This was the first time I booked Le'Andra to do daily check-ins on my cat Gabby while I was out of town. She was great! Le'Andra always stayed in communication with me by text. And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.”

About: I've worked in the doggy day care industry for 8 years where I've led play groups of up to 30 dogs at a time, administered medication for senior/ill pets, assisted with training, and worked with all breeds & ages. I work remotely so I am very flexible to be with your pet throughout each day, and can adjust my schedule around the care of each of my clients. I am available for drop-in visits, daily walks, and overnights where I stay in the home. Different pets require different levels of exercise & interaction, so I always do my best to meet the needs of the pet within my capacity.

“I have had the pleasure of having Alexa take care of my two dogs. One is older, blind, deaf, and has some dementia. The other is a rescue that was abused in his former life. They immediately took a liking to her and enjoy their visits with her. She is reliable and punctual and goes above and beyond making sure they are happy and comfortable. I appreciate the daily updates and photos. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.”

Samantha is the best! She is a true animal lover and the next best thing to being there yourself! She always goes above and beyond to make sure that my cats are well cared for. This time included during bad weather and one cat having additional health challenges. I can't thank her enough for her help to be away briefly during a difficult time!

Tristen was great with my cat Sheddy. She tends to be on the shy side and doesn’t come out for strangers. Tristen was super patient with her and always managed to get a picture of her. I felt at ease knowing Sheddy was in good hands. I will definitely reschedule with Tristen for my next vacation!
