About: Hi! I’ve had pets my entire life from having cats to dogs to even ferrets and hamsters and turtles, I love all animals! I was given my first pet to take care of myself when I was 6 years old and even though she was just a small ferret I found the responsibility fun and fulfilling even at a young age. I lost my dog last year so being around dogs in anyway has been such a blessing and a privilege, I miss being around mine. Caring for animals gives me a purpose I work 35 hours a week but 2 times a week from home. Since I don’t start super early or end super late I find myself finding time in the mornings and evenings available as well as weekends. Since I have dealt with so many types of animals I understand that each and every fur baby has their own unique personality and it is my job to adjust and accompany to it all while fulfilling owners requests
“Karina was attentive, caring and consistent while watching my cat. Mylo is the definitive ‘scaredy cat’, afraid of everyone and everything. He resisted her at first but she broke down his barriers and by the end of the week he was playing with her and letting her pet him! I’m grateful to have such a wonderful sitter for my fur children!”
“Erica is great! Was able to last minute meet and greet our 2 fur babies (cats). Could tell right away they felt comfortable with her and vice versa. She was very communicative and sent the BEST pictures of the kids while sitting for them. Best result, we came home to happy healthy kiddos. Thank you so so SO much Erica!”
“Leah is great! She provides detailed updates, pictures and lots of snuggles for our super senior kitty, and she made she our girl had her medicine and supplements. We felt reassured knowing Schatze was in such good hands. Leah also brought in mail and packages that arrived while we were away which was very thoughtful. I highly recommend Leah and would definitely book with her again.”
“My rover experience with Denis was excellent and I would definitely book with him again. While I did not meet Nikki, it was very nice to know they work as a team and that my pets would have an extra person to care for them! Denis was kind enough to do a meet and greet despite my cats being shy, he asked pertinent questions to their care, which I greatly appreciated, and made me feel extra comfortable knowing he was prepared and experienced. His updates throughout the booking put me at ease, and I came back to happy cats, which is all I could ask for.”
“Amy did a great job keeping our cat happy while we were away. I appreciated her photos and updates. She was very flexible with our dates when we needed to make a last minute change. Thank you!”
“Zoey did a great job taking care of my 2 kittens while I was out of town This was the first time they were left alone and She did a great of giving them lots of playtime and pets. She communicated well and provided pics I appreciate the care she provided my two cats”
“Christina is a fabulous pet sitter! She is trustworthy, reliable, professional, and loving. She sends great photos and leaves comprehensive notes. Look no further!”
“Scott took amazing care of our senior cat, Quinn, for a week. Quinn is diabetic, so Scott administered insulin twice a day. Scott fed Quinn twice a day and emptied the litter box. He even was very kind to bring in our mail each day. He stayed to keep Quinn company each time he visited and sent us a picture each time so we could see our fur baby. He was so good about keeping everything clean and in good shape. We will definitely re-book with Scott when we travel in the future! Thank you Scott!”
“Beyond grateful that I connected with Lauren and Lauren, and they could help with our cat while our entire family traveled together. Communication is always quick, clear, and helpful. They flagged every visit, and kept me updated with all the details from each house visit for our cat. Will absolutely keep them at the top of the list for any future needs!”
“Sydney took the best care of our cat Cooper and I could tell when we got home that he was given lots of attention! She was super thorough with all of her notes about her visits and took lots of great pictures for us to see our little guy while we were gone. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“My cat Henrik loves Anna; he is quite finicky so greeting her each day speaks volumes about his thoughts. And I am able to relax when I'm away knowing that Anna is there for Henrik and also to do things like make sure some water is running if we're facing freezing temperatures or to bring in packages if some are left. I think I'll plan future trips around Anna's availability!”
