“Great caretaker of my cat Justice. Really responsive, helpful, went out of their way to make sure my cat was well taken care of with me out of town.”
“I'm a first time Rover user so I was new to the process and a little apprehensive, but I had nothing to be concerned about- Autumn was amazing! We had a meet and greet with her before our trip and she immediately made us comfortable about leaving the care of our kitties to her. It's clear she loves animals and our two 9 year old kitties loved her visits while we were out of town. She took great care of them and was extremely communicative with us the entire time. I will definitely request her services again in the future!!”
“Thank you so so much! My doggies were very pleased with their visit, as well as I! Kat responded to me promptly & helped me out in a difficult situation when I was out of town & my dogs needed to get outside for a potty & have a lil bit of fun with a friend. Absolutely fantastic & if I’m ever in need of a drop-in while in the BHAM area again, I’ll definitely be going with Kat!”
“Absolutely loved Marisa! My kitty has been a bit nervous at our new home and Marisa was so respectful and welcoming to her. I really appreciated the updates she sent and the photos that showed how my kitty was warming up to them and enjoying having them over. I will definitely be reaching out to Marisa again for future visits and highly recommend her! She’s kind, professional, compassionate, thoughtful, and very communicative.”
“Judith is fantastic! She arrives at the time we agree to, she's wonderful with our dogs, she sends pictures and messages each day which I really appreciate. She's very dependable and really nice. I highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely love Melissa and Ryan! They really came through for me on a short notice and even helped me with undoing a hitch on my car. They say you find good people everywhere you go, and I definitely found some great ones. My pups loved them and I felt totally safe and trusted them to take care of my girls. Highly recommend!”

“Gillian met our pets for a Meet n Greet today. Doggo melted at the sight of her, showed her all the best toys and can't wait for her next visit. Looking forward to it!”
“Candace responded quickly when I was looking for a sitter, and she did a great job checking in on Barli, my one-year-old Berner, while I was away.”
“Anna was great with communication and helped to reassure that Smokey Preston was well taken care of during her drop-in visits. I greatly appreciated all the photo updates she sent and definitely would request having her help again in the future!”
About: I've been given the wonderful opportunity of having pets my whole life; from cats and dogs, to iguanas and geckos. From a young age I was taught how to care for, train, and learn from the amazing pets we had throughout my childhood. I brought those skills into my adult life, where I've been lucky enough to have some of the best animal companions whom I couldn't live without. As a sitter, I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own! Currently I am available all day most days, though my schedule will change in the summer as that's when my regular job picks back up. I have a house with a fully fenced yard for your pets to run around along with my dog Koda! I would prefer that your pets be crate trained in case of me leaving the house, since I do have two cats; though exceptions could be made after proper meetings to determine their temperament towards each other.

“Lara was warm, kind, and very helpful. I know my kitties are in good hands and it gives me so much peace of mind.”
About: We are a loving, caring, responsible and reliable family who would love the opportunity to help you with tour fur babies. Being away from them is hard to do, and we know that it is hard and stressful for them as well. So we would like to ease some of that worry and anxiety for you and leave you feeling comfortable with them in our care. I hope we can talk further and to get the chance to help you with your babies and your needs. We love taking the dogs on walks, hikes, dog parks and more. My children also have a love for animals and are excited for this opportunity as well. Can’t wait to hear from you and help. God bless ❤️
