“Georgia was so helpful and really gave us peace of mind that Chloe was taken care of while we were away! She’s diabetic, so we had to find someone willing to come by twice a day to give her insulin and Georgia was perfect for that. We will definitely book her for our future travels!”
“As first-time cat owners, we were reluctant to leave our 10-month old kitty Mittens alone for an afternoon and evening. Vicky visited Mittens twice while we were gone, for feeding and social time. When we got home and opened the door, there was Mittens. I think she may have been disappointed it was not Vicky coming into the house again. Vicky did a great job with Mittens and with putting our minds at ease while we were gone. Thank you!”
“Alyssa was so amazing and kind, and I felt super comfortable with her checking on our cats!! She took so many pictures and took the time to play with them despite the fact that she was just stopping in to feed them😭 our cats are pretty shy but it was really clear that she made them feel comfortable and safe because they never show themselves to pet-sitters, but they both came downstairs and ate for her! I really appreciated her vibes and personality and will definitely be reaching out to her again for our cats in the future!”
“From first meeting Meghan I felt comfortable for the first time leaving my cat, Ladybug, for a week and a half (the first time I’d left her with someone she didn’t already know). I was so happy to have found someone who could both housesit and care for Ladybug so that she didn’t have to be alone. Meghan sent me a picture and update everyday. She even cleaned after herself and I came home to a clean house with a happy, relaxed Ladybug. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you, Meghan! (P.S. My sister wants to hire you next time she travels!)”
“Highly recommend! Addison has watched my dog Luna multiple times, and I’ve been very happy each time. She’s reliable, always arrives on time and communicates if there’s any change in arrival. She gives Luna a great walk and is very understanding if I ever need to cancel”
“Kelly was very professional. With every visit she documented times and sent me notes about what the cats were doing and pictures iof my cats. She told me about there litter boxes what thy ate and cleaning food bowls and litter boxes. I felt so relieved that my cats were taken such good care of. I would definitely hope she is available the next time I need her. She is a gem. So responsible and caring. Thank you Kelly.”
“Renae came on short notice and jumped through extra hoops to take care of my cat with no complaints. She was pleasant, and we felt immediately comfortable that our cat was going to be taken care of while Renae was visiting. We enjoyed the photos, her great communication, and that she took care of things that she saw needed taken care of. Thank you, Renae.”
“Peggy is an excellent petsitter-- we had her drop in to check on our cat while out of town, and she was really attentive and kind to our girl! I really appreciated her daily updates, and everything went perfectly-- 10/10, would recommend to friends nd family!”
About: While I have the most experience taking care of cats, I do have experience with dogs, bearded dragons, and fish as well! I am also always open to learning about new animals and their care routines. I am consistent, detail oriented and passionate about caring for critters and that will always be the same no matter the animal! I am currently employed 7-3:30 5 days per week. I am able to attend to pets before and after work every day as well as on my days off. If something does not quite fit with my schedule I do have a partner who is a little more flexible and may be able to fill in. I live in a spacious townhouse, so if your pet is joining our crew we can provide them with their own space or allow them to roam with the others! If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat it as if its my own. I am a very cleanly person and I am detail oriented so I will attend to your surroundings as well as your pet!
“2nd time we've had Natalie watch our cats. She's prompt and great with communication. I would definitely recommend her for drop in visits, and I look forward to having her watch the cats again in the future.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Chris and Kate! They provided a daily drop-in visit to check in on our kitties while we were out of town. Our playful kitty Lin met them at the door each day, our shy kitty Dottie quickly warmed up to them, and they were even able to spot our senior cat Smokey a number of times (before he ran off to hide, as he usually does, haha!) I also really appreciated the detailed notes and adorable photos of the kitties they sent us each day -- you could tell how comfortable the kittens were with them by the end of the week. It's such a relief to know your pets are being well taken care of when you're out of town! This was our first time using Rover, and I'm so glad to have had such a great experience with Kate and Chris! We will be booking them again in the future! :) Thank you!”
About: I started volunteering at the animal shelter when I was 10. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats that I have rescued from abusive/neglectful homes, the streets, and from the shelter. I took a vet tech class in high school and a big/small animal class. I’m very good with all kinds and types of animals. I work part time currently, 4 to 5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I will definitely be able to care for and engage with your pet when needed. When I go to a new house to dog sit I always lock the doors and make sure to follow all rules I have been given. I stay very aware of my surroundings and the animal.
“Steven was a great house and cat sitter. He has a really great disposition about him, and when we got home, our girls were happy and the house was clean. Would love to hire Steven again!”
“Agreed to meet Gabby on short notice and was great with her! She is a reactive dog but Alison’s calm demeanor put Gabby at ease quickly. Thanks for being willing to work with her!”
