Jessica was an outstanding pet sitter. From our very first contact through every drop-in visit, she was prompt, clear, and reliable in her communication. She sent plenty of photos of our pups while we were away, which was very reassuring. We have one elderly, arthritic dog and another who is quite anxious, and Jessica approached the job with confidence and professionalism. When we returned home, both dogs were calm and relaxed—clear proof that they were well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. She made our last-minute family getaway possible!

Jacey is awesome! She took such great care of my 8-year old German Shepherd while we were away at Disney for Thanksgiving week. She was super reliable with her timing, feeding schedule, and walks. So sweet, kind, and helpful, everything you hope for when leaving your fur babies with a sitter. Thank you, Jacey, for taking such good care of Letty! She was so happy when I got back. And an extra thank you for putting out the recycling and trash for me! I’ve used Rover for a while and always found great, trusted sitters and Jacey is definitely one of the best 🙂

Erin has been wonderful! My Litter Robot was acting up and she researched so that she was able to troubleshoot and keep it running. Even my shy cat felt safe with her. If I could rate her services higher than 5 stars, I would!

About: I love animals so much! Growing up, we had 2 dogs and it solidified my love for animals! Now, I’m a dog mom & cat mom. I’m the sitter you can trust to give your fur babies some extra love! I’m currently working part time and have a sewing business so my schedule is very flexible! It would be very easy for me to add a daily or weekly client into my schedule. I love playing with animals! I’m very detail oriented so once I read what your expectations and guidelines are, you can trust that I will stick to them.

This review is long overdue! I have been using Marissa for about a year now give or take for twice weekly drop ins. I have a senior diabetic pomeranian and a 3 year old highly energetic Border Collie and both of my dogs seem to love Marissa! We always get pictures of our smiling pups and it is clear they have a good time during the visit. Marissa is not only great with our dogs, but she is reliable, trustworthy, and will go the extra mile to accommodate bookings. We never come home to any accidents, and she is always kind enough to bring our packages in front the porch. This holiday season she surprised us with a goodie bag with some things for our dogs AND us! It just goes to show how thoughtful and caring she is. I would absolutely recommend booking with Marissa!

About: I have taken care of pets since childhood whether it was cats, dogs, fish, or hamsters I’ve loved being around them! In middle school I would walk the neighborhood dogs after school and in my freshman year of high school I got my very own puppy! I potty trained him, taught him to walk off leash, and taught him many fun tricks. Now that I’m in college I have lots of free time that I would love to use to help care for animals, whether it’s taking them for walks, playing with them in the home, or even having them be my study partner! Depending on the client I would take care of their four legged friend following the rules that they supply to me. For my own pets I like to gentle parent and just love them no matter how they act.

Heather was absolutely amazing! Our senior cat recently started on insulin shots twice a day and we were nervous about leaving him. We were put at ease as soon as we met Heather. She came twice a day promptly at the times he needed his meds and cared for him as if he was her own pet! We got updates and photos at each visit and it seems like our old kitty fell into a nice, relaxed routine with her😊. She did an amazing job keeping his days as “normal” as possible for him and she went way above and beyond keeping his entire space (and ours) tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to use Heather’s services again when we travel. I felt very comfortable having her in my home and with my pet. Thank you!

Vanessa is very sweet and friendly, and took wonderful care of our great dane. She sent lots of photos and texted us each time she stopped by with an update. She wasnt shy to ask if something was a normal behavior for him which made us feel at ease that she was observing and learning his quirks, especially since he is on the older side. We are grateful to have found her and I know Mac is looking forward to seeing her again!

About: I’m an experienced rescue pet owner who’s fostered both cats and dogs, including my own behaviorally challenged dog. I grew up caring for a senior dog with medical needs, so I understand the importance of patience, attention to detail, and compassion. Through my rescue work, I’ve provided both cat and dog sitting and am excited to offer that same loving care to more pets and families! Pet care best fits into my daily schedule during lunch breaks and anytime after 4 PM! I can be flexible as well depending on the time slots needed and my class schedule. Safety is always my main priority. Through my experience working with flight-risk fosters and animals with a variety of behavioral and medical needs, I’ve learned how to create secure environments for every pet in my care. I’m attentive to details, careful with routines, and always mindful of each animal’s comfort and safety

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have cared for my neighbors’ dogs for over 6 years. I also frequently volunteer at my local animal shelter, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved. I work part-time so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice long walk! Mornings usually work best for me during the week and I have some availability on the weekends! I have tons of experience walking dogs and always keep caution around busy streets and other dogs. I strive to make sure the pup has a great walking experience!

About: I have experience with a wide variety of animals! These animals include dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, rodents, etc. I strive to make your animal as comfortable, happy, and content as possible while you're away! Animals welfare is my #1 When i'm not working at my part time job, i'm always caring for an animal in some way. Whether it be taking care of my own horse, caring for my guinea pigs, playing with my cats, or caring for the other horses at my barn. Animals have tremendously helped my mental health, and I strive to give pets and their parents the best experience with no stress. For caring for these pets, I pay attention to what the pet wants and needs. I work around my care routine to fit what the pet prefers, and make everything as comfortable as possible for them.
