“Angela was wonderful with our cat as always! She always keeps us updated on how things are going with pictures and texts. We never have to worry about things when we're away because Angela is always on top of things. She even texted us on the last day to let us know our cat seemed a bit lonely and offered to stay a bit longer to make sure she was feeling okay! Absolutely would recommend Angela to anyone looking for a kind, commutative, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Rayna was absolutely wonderful. She genuinely cares about our dog, and is a truly kind-hearted, considerate person who is enjoyable to be around. She went above and beyond with our dog and was an exceptional guest staying in our home. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Kelsey was extremely professional and friendly. He took great care of our Raven, was very communicative and spent a lot of time with our pup. I didn't message him until a couple days before our trip and he still made the time for a meet and greet and was on time for both that and our actual appointment. He sent great pictures of our girl every day and she was smiling in every one of them. We will definitely look to book him again next time we travel.”
“Zara was amazing staying with our anxious little dog! We were able to book her at the last minute and she was so responsive and friendly. She was amazing!!!!”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful! My dog and cats adored her. She kept me updated through out her stay. I had to have surgery in Richmond and needed someone to take care of my baby while I was gone. I’ve never been away from my dog for more than a few hours. The thought of leaving him for two days filled me with so much anxiety.. until Christine came along! I had zero worries and I knew he was in good hands. She’s wonderful, and I would definitely use her again!”
“We would definitely rebook Breezy! She was a great communicator and spent a lot of time with our dog when we were gone on vacation. She sent lots of pics and took great care of Nog.”
“Brittany is awesome and she is my new go to when I need my dog looked after. I recently moved to the area and have been looking for someone to look after my dog when I have to travel. She kept in constant communication with me; provided photos and videos daily; and even picked up an Easter gift for him.”
“We’ve used Taylor several times to watch our two dogs and home. She is the best! This weekend our flight was delayed so she stayed an extra night to make sure our dogs were taken care of :)”
“Jordan was great! She took care of all four of our animals while we were out of town (2 medium sized dogs, 2 cats). We got regular updates and returned to a clean & tidy home. I would recommend Jordan to anyone looking for pet care while they are away.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and pet sitting for over 10 years. I have two pups of my own and a wonderful cat. I have had experience with all breeds of dogs big and small. I’ve raised puppies and looked after senior dogs. I have little experience with pups with extensive health issues but I’m always interested in learning new things. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a pretty flexible schedule for drop ins. And if you’re interested in house sitting I do make aware my child comes with me but is very kind and patient with animals and we only accept clients after meet and greets. My one dog suffers anxiety around other dogs so I typically try to keep them away from clients. I’m used to taking big dogs on walks so I can handle any size with any type of leash aggression. But I love just throwing a ball for them as long as they can go for.
“Adriana is very respectful & I was at ease having her in our home with our fur baby. Her communication is amazing, very responsive to messages & let me know in advance if she might be delayed in responding. I did not worry about my pup during her time with Adriana, I received photos & updates assuring me she was being cared for & loved. Will use Adriana in the future for sitting with our dog in our home.”
“He was awesome!! Very helpful comforting my new greyhound! Stayed with him throughout the night, sent pictures, and helped him get accustomed to walking up stairs. Will definitely book again!”
“Natalie did an amazing job with our two pups! Always kept us up to date on what they were doing and sent lots of pictures. They just loved her! ❤️”
“Marissa did such a great job house sitting our cat while we were gone for a week. She took excellent care to follow all instructions, and left the house so clean. We are so appreciative! Would definitely recommend Marissa :)”
“Ben and Erin were great! They are very sweet and our pets loved them! They communicated with us through the whole booking process and sent lots of updates while we were gone. We would definitely book them again!”
About: When people ask, “are you a dog person or a cat person?” I’ve always said, “both.” I’ve had 10 pets in my life, both dogs and cats, and I love them equally. It seems like when I meet new pets they usually take to me very quickly, and I’ve always been very proud of that. I’m usually the first person my friends ask to pet sit, and I’ve been doing it since 5th grade. I’ve taken care of pets with special dietary and medication needs as well. I look forward to giving your pet the same love, care, and attention that you would. I currently work from home and only have to work in-person very sparingly, just a few half days per month. So I have plenty of time to give attention to your pet! And my schedule is very flexible. I’m very observant and pay a lot of attention to detail, so you can trust any instructions will be followed closely. You can also expect your home will be left the way I found it.
“Danielle is awesome with a very positive and optimistic outlook. She was great for Axel. It was a last minute scheduling and she came through in a tight bind. I highly recommend her to everyone in need. 5 stars in my book.”
About: I have taken care of my own dog, neighbors dogs, and friend’s dogs for 10 years. I have walked Yorkies up to Irish wolf hounds! Any care I’m there! My Rover schedule is dependent on my part time work, usually I’m free 4 days a week. These 4 days I can work 24/7. Monthly my schedule will change from weekdays to weekends, with some variation. I can be an early riser or a night owl . I have experience with elderly , sick, hyper, and most temperaments of pets.Please trust I will treat your pet like my very own! Nothing will be more important than your pet while in my care, from 3 minutes or 4 hours.
“Carmela worked out perfectly on a last minute basis. My two little ones (Barb and Grampy) took to her right away and I felt comfortable leaving them with her. I received pictures every day with updates. And, she was there to greet me when I came back. Would definitely use again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all different types of animals, mostly dogs, cats, and chickens. I have helped raise puppies and kittens. Since I was small I’ve helped my family and friends take care of their pets, bathing them or taking them on walks, and of course playing with them and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I have a dog and cat of my own and nothing makes me happier than being able to spend time with animals and caring for them! You can trust you are putting your pet(s) in the right hands ❤️ I am currently attending college in the mornings Monday-Wednesday 7-12 and Thursdays 7-4pm. I am available for drop ins or walks on the weekends and in the afternoons all week. You can trust that I will feed your pets on time, make sure they are walked and entertained! I am able to crate animals as requested by client, or other special requests. I strive to create a safe and healthy space while taking care of your loved pet.
