“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my cat, going above and beyond to provide Leia with sweet cuddles during the visit. I know she appreciated the great care too!”
“Hire this woman! I needed to find a pet sitter for a week very last minute and I found Brittany. I’ve never left my cat Dutch with anyone so I was definitely stressed. But I knew within minutes of meeting Bri I had chosen the right person. My cat is very shy but she warmed right up to Bri. The pics and vids I got during my time away showed how happy Dutch was with her sitter. I was surprised at how well it went. She was playing and getting brushed and petted and so obviously calm and content even though she was alone for the first time and couldn’t go outside. Bri also did thoughtful things like get my mail and take out my trash. She made me feel comfortable leaving my home as well as my baby cat. She was a great communicator throughout my time away with good updates. She made it much easier to enjoy myself and not worry about my baby. It was obvious Dutch had been well cared for when I got home. She did not seem at all traumatized by being suddenly left alone so long for the first time, with strangers and stuck inside. I think that really speaks to how good Brittany is with animals. Take my advice and save some clicks and choose Brittany. She is sweet and kind with a big heart. She is all the things you want your babies to have. Bri is the next best thing to being there yourself. I highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Laurel was great to work with was super easy to communicate with. She was great with my pup and cat (who had a special diet). I would definitely use her services again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“Ann has done a fantastic job (as always!) watching my cat, Maisie, while I was out of the country. She is very responsive and attentive to Maisie’s needs when she drops by, knowing when to play and when to just give her snuggles. She always leaves very detailed report cards, and I trust her to follow any special instructions I leave. I absolutely recommend Ann and will continue to use her services in the future!”
“Outstanding sitter. Very professional and communicated with us frequently and clearly. She tool wonderful pictures of our fur babies and wrote detailed reports on how they are doing. Our cat made a new best friend.”
“Kat did an excellent job checking on my two cats. They are very shy, and she managed to get them to open up a bit, and she made sure to take good pictures and keep everything in order while I was gone.”
“This has been the least stressful trip we’ve had with leaving our cat at home. I’m so thankful for Janet and her kindness to our fur baby. The attention to detail and concern for Bepis is amazing and I would absolutely trust her with my home and pet. Can’t write enough good words for the gratitude that we have.”
“Elise did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my two kitties while gone for a long weekend. This was my first time using Rover or any pet sitter outside of friends and family - I was extremely nervous about leaving my cats in the care of someone I didn’t know, let alone having someone come into my home. Elise was so communicative, understanding, and made me feel at ease. I loved the pictures and detailed updates from her visits. I would definitely use Elise again and I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter, especially someone who is new to Rover!”

About: I’ve had and taken care of many dogs since I was learned how to walk. From pit bulls and cane corso’s to small dogs like chihuahua’s and Shih Tzu’s! I am currently employed for closing shifts so I am available for the entirety of the week during the day, I prefer mornings or afternoons before 2pm but I can work with evenings if needed. All dogs will stay in my living room with kibble, treats and water provided unless there is special dietary needs. I have lots of toys to keep clients dogs entertained and I go for walks twice a day. If my services is needed at the clients house I will follow their schedules.
