About: I've always loved dogs and now I have a family that loves dogs! I care for friends' dogs and we have a 3-year-old Australian Labradoodle (before that, I had a dog for 17 years). I have a good yard and am close to parks. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can take several walks a day and live in a great neighborhood for walking dogs. I treat dogs like they are part of my family. They are welcome on our couches and are free to roam in my back yard. At night they will sleep in a bedroom and they'll never be alone.
“This is my 3rd time using Carol to take care of my cat, Theo. She's wonderful! She does it all. I can't recommend her more highly! 5 Stars plus!!”
“Sue recently accommodated us on short notice, and we were relieved to be leaving our kitties in great hands! She is kind and conscientious. Will book again!”
“We've booked with Chuck a couple of times now, and he's always been incredibly helpful and communicative. Before booking he is sure to get a good sense of our pets needs and our expectations. Throughout our time away he gives detailed reports on our pet and always includes a good picture. We are able to feel much better about being away thanks to Chuck, highly reccomend!”
“Leah did a wonderful job looking after our 3 kitties : ) She made sure my girl got her prozac and sent a LOT of pictures every visit, which was so so sweet and made us very happy. She cleaned up around the cat litters which was much appreciated and even made cute churu art in the cats' food bowls. We knew they were in good hands while we were gone and highly recommend Leah!”
“Sarah was great. Respectful, great with cats, and very communicative.”
“Danielle took great care of our cat. She’s very communicative and quick to respond. She was friendly during our meet and greet and sent photos of our pet while we were gone. He doesn’t need any special care but she took care of all the basics for us. I felt that our kitty was in good hands and i would book with her again!”
“Anna took great care of our Ombre cat while we were away. She was very responsible & trustworthy. She followed all our directions, spent time doing things our cat loves (like going outside), checked her litter box and provided updates/pictures. We are so grateful and would definitely book her again!”
“Marissa was super flexible and went out of her way to help with an issue while I was out of town. My cat was well taken care of and she sent pictures after every visit. Her communication was excellent!”
“Ani was in great communication before the booking and made sure she had all the info to take care of my cat. My cat can be pretty skittish and came right out to be pet, and she’s the most important judge! I’ll definitely use Ani next time I go away!”
“Kathryn did a great job caring for my two senior cats. One of them is diabetic and she knows how to give insulin injections, which is great! Highly recommend using Kathryn in the future”
“Mackenzie takes such great care of my cat Slushy while I’m away, I appreciate all the efforts she makes to play with him and always look forward to the pictures she sends!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Anna was excellent! She truly seemed to enjoy my cats, and was pleasant, efficient, and responsible. Thank you!”
“Sarah was so amazing to our orange tabby Biscotti! He sometimes acts shy around visitors, but he was instantly engaged with her and got plenty of purring and play time. He recognized her even though he hasn't seen her since the meet and greet a while ago! Sarah followed instructions perfectly, communicated clearly, and definitely made our cat happy while we were out of town for the weekend. Highly recommend and we will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.”
