Thank you Monica for taking care of my kitties while we were out of town. We could tell in the pictures that they really like you and looked calm and happy.

I have 3 dogs who are a handful! Katherine jumped right in and took on the challenge. I can tell she treats them well based on their reaction to her coming over. I also love the photos she takes for the rover cards!

Morgan has been our regular dog walker for a few months now! she’s been extremely reliable and accommodating to occasional shifts in schedule! Anytime we notice something behavioral we might want her to observe with our puppy, she provides great feedback! I absolutely trust her with our dog and recommend her highly!

Lisa did an outstanding job taking care of our two cats. Our cats aren't usually good with strangers, but they seem to like Lisa. Lisa provides detailed reports and great photos, giving us peace of mind while we're away. Lisa also brought in our mail and watered the flowers.

Rachel is a treasure. Rachel has watched my two cats twice. This second time was while I was camping for the weekend with very limited cell service. It was really reassuring to know my fur babies were in such capable hands while I was away!

About: ***For boarding/house-sitting I have an 11lb Havanese in my home who will be with me for any bookings*** I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding if you live within a reasonable distance. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***House-sitting notice - I do have an 11lb Havanese puppy that would accompany me for overnight house-sitting assignments. He's house-trained and does not shed and very friendly with other dogs.*** ***Boarding / House-sitting requests please note that I have a 1yr old 11lb Havanese in my home. Very social, friendly and playful. He gets along w/all people and dogs. He will also be w/me for any house-sitting bookings. House-trained and not destructive.*** I usually reply to requests within 10-20 min. If it's after 11 then the next morning. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feedings as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine. Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. ***I do have an 11 lb Havanese puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention. My Havanese will be present for boardings and will accompany me for house-sitting bookings***

We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.

Natasha was great from start to finish. She responded quickly to my original inquiry and was able to fit in a meet and greet in only about 36 hours notice. Her rates are reasonable while still providing great service. One of my dogs needed medication while I would be away, and all of my dogs have their own quirks - she handled all of this with ease and provided some great pictures to boot! There was a little bit of an upcharge due to my location but she was upfront about it and it was also reasonable, so was happy to pay it. Will definitely use her again should the occasion arise and she has the availability.

Kay-Lea went above and beyond while we were out of town watching our black lab Orion! Over the 14 visits, she was consistent, reliable and exceeded our expectations. Orion had a blast playing fetch and really appreciated all the love and pets he got. We would definitely recommend her to others and will be using her again! Thank you.

Hannah was flexible, upbeat, and easy to work with. She had no troubles with our older (grumpier) dog. Thanks for taking such great care of our four legged family member!
