Ashlee has done a fantastic job caring for my cat Smokey. He is full spirited when I get home from travel, which tells me he is getting a level of attention from Ashlee that others have not given in the past. Ashlee was also able to accommodate the addition of a day in the middle of my travels. Thank you, Ashlee!

Emily was wonderful with our dog. This was our first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving Chloe for a week, but Emily was so great to work with. She is very diligent and reliable. The care and love she showed towards our dog put us at ease while we were on vacation. I loved her report cards, which at times were funny but they always showed her caring spirit towards Chloe. We will definitely be using Emily in the future!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.

Christina took excellent care of our cats! They have special medical and dietary needs and she was very accommodating and great at getting our older cat to eat. We came home to two very happy and healthy fur balls.

Heather is so attentive, thorough, and caring. She was thinking through every possible way she could make my dog happier and more comfortable. Her notes and photos were so thoughtful and showed an attention to detail that reassured me while being away. I cannot recommend her enough, and we look forward to having her look after Rainer again.

About: As a Notre Dame student and proud Maltipoo owner, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve also spent 4 years working at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love spending time with animals! As a full-time Notre Dame student, I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends. However, I do have some flexibility during weekdays depending on my class schedule and can often accommodate drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays with advance notice. I’m committed to being reliable and communicative so you always know your pet is in good hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household preferences. I treat every home with respect, by keeping it clean and exactly as I found it. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.

Michelle was wonderful! She dropped in to feed & care for my Kitty while I was out of town for 10 days. First time I’ve left him alone with a “stranger” but he came out from hiding and took to her from day one! That’s never happened even with family members he has seen previously! Loved the daily message and photos. I highly recommend Michelle. She can be trusted to care for your special pet and goes above & beyond to report potential concerns with the house/property too ! She will definitely be my first choice for future trips!

Joan was amazing. I had a simple job helping my Indoor/outdoor cat get fresh food, and she went above and beyond each visit. With intense heat coming, she even thought of extra things like cleaning the used cat dishes and emptying the trash to avoid flies while I was gone. We look forward to having her back. Thank you!

Hanling took excellent care of our kitty! She came in advance to meet him and get instructions in person, and spent lots of time playing and cuddling with him on each visit so he wouldn't be too lonely while we were gone. She also sent us lots of pictures of him. We will definitely call her the next time we need a pet sitter.
