“What a fantastic experience! Marissa looked over my two cats during our extended honeymoon stay. Marissa was so easy to work with and allowed us to add four additional days onto our honeymoon thanks to her flexibility and professionalism. I truly cannot give a high enough rating for the experience and piece of mind she provided.”
“Deidre came to the rescue when our plans fell through for our dog last minute- she was able to come care for and let him out for a few days! She sent lots of pictures- and took good care of him.”
“Marlee is a great find as a Rover. All though this is the first time using her services, we feel very comfortable and confident that to do so for future visits! Our rough collie also gives Marlee 5 stars!”
About: I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs! Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home. I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.
“Anna was amazing with our cat Stella!! We were so appreciative for her to come and hanging with her for the week! She made so to send us pictures and updates. Thank you again!”
“Megan was so kind and quick to reply! She took great care of my kitties while I was away and sent photos so I could peek in on them too. I ended up needing to add an extra visit while we were away and Megan was very accommodating and made sure our kitties were taken care of. Thank you, Megan! This was our first time using Rover and entrusting our kitties to someone and you made it a great, worry-free experience.”
“Hanna is amazing! She kept us updated and send plenty of pictures! She was very sweet with our two girls! We really appreciate her work and for sure will contact her again! Thanks, Hanna!”
“Our pets loved having Katy watch after them while we were out of town. We have two senior cats who both need medication/insulin twice daily, and as Katy has two senior cats and two senior dogs of her own, she is very skilled at administering medications if your pet has that need. Our cat Birdy suddenly took ill while we were out of town, and Katy was very prompt with letting us know what was happening and took Birdy to the vet when she needed professional intervention. We are grateful to Katy for her kindness and helpfulness and love for the animals in her care.”
“Manda was awesome! She kept me up-to-date on her visits and how my cat was eating (even sent me pics of his food bowl). She took the time to talk to him and make him feel more comfortable. Usually my cat does not eat when I am away, so this was reassuring to me! I highly recommend Manda for your pet(s) - she cares for them as if they were her own!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to take great care of their fur babies and I have always loved doing so! No dog is too big or too small I currently work full time mostly night shifts so my obscure schedule will allow to me to do late night or early morning pet sitting ! I can always try to accommodate to some day sitting. I can easily learn feeding and walking schedules. I have experience giving vitamins/medications. If your fur baby needs any special care I am happy to help.
“Joanie was wonderful dropping in to take care of my cat. She's very dependable and sent many pictures and detailed reports so I knew how my girl was doing. Kitty was relaxed and happy when I got home so I know Joanie was very kind to her.”
“Savannah took care of our old gal Betty. She left everything as found and Betty seemed very grateful. Would definitely use Savannah in the future. Thank you!”
“Repeat customer of Colleen. Last time was house sitting but only gone 2 days and she could only do drop-ins. She came 3x a day while we were out of town and stayed for a while one day so the one crated dog could stay out longer. No doubt the dogs were well cared for and she checked in every visit sending pictures and notes.”
