Casey was excellent with keeping up with Meadow. She went above and beyond with all the little additional stuff I asked. I would recommend her completely.

Karla was great and we can't thank her enough for taking great care of our cats on short notice. The cats are usually extremely shy around new people and will hide when they come in to the house. But they warmed up to Karla quickly and we got lots of pictures of happy cats being played with and entertained. A+++

Helena was really great with taking care of our cats. She sent notes and pictures daily and is very detailed in her updates and communications. Her daughters were really good with Felix. We felt very comfortable with leaving our cats on her care. Really allowed us to relax during our vacation. Would be happy to refer Helena anytime!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, frogs, birds, lizards, a ferret, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. My last pet was a cat, and even though I don’t currently have pets, I truly enjoy being around them. I’ve owned dogs all of my life and have had several breeds over the years including pitbulls, a Boston Terrier, a French Bulldog, and a Boxer, so I am very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I have walked and cared for both of my aunts dogs. My one aunt has a French Bulldog and the other has a mastiff, and I always made sure they were fed, let out, and comfortable. I also cared for a pitbull while babysitting, handling his feeding, bathroom breaks, and daily routine. Dogs are my specialty because I have the most hands on experience with them, but I enjoy caring for all pets. I am responsible, patient, and confident with many different breeds and temperaments, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I also plan on getting a red eared slider turtle soon because I love learning about and caring for different types of animals. I am currently on summer vacation, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week. When the fall semester starts, my classes will only be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which keeps my schedule very open. I am available from 6 am to 3 pm to take care of your pets, and I make sure to plan my day around giving them the attention and care they need. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and instructions closely to make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable. I pay attention to details like feeding times, bathroom breaks, and keeping their space clean. I take my time with each pet so they never feel rushed or stressed, and I always make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure. My goal is to create a calm and trustworthy environment so your pets feel relaxed and well cared for while you are away.

About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to follow specific routines, dietary requirements, and any special instructions you provide. I have my own e-commerce business so my schedule is very flexible - I work from home all day, therefore I'm able to care for your dog or cat and be by their side caring for their daily needs. I take dogs on walks at least three times throughout the day. I'm very detail oriented so I'll listen to exactly how you want me to care for your dog or cat, if they have a strict diet or certain important needs special to them. I'll be prompt and on time so as to not interfere in the clients schedule. I'll love them like their my own!

Lisa was absolutely wonderful. She left fun, detailed notes after each visit and was incredibly diligent and thoughtful in caring for our cats. She connected with both of them so naturally—you can tell she truly understands and loves animals. We especially appreciated the photos and videos she sent; they brought us so much comfort while we were traveling and made us feel totally at ease. Her communication, kindness, and attention to detail truly set her apart. Hands down, Lisa is one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. We highly recommend her!

Marissa watched our cat for one week and she is amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and it couldn’t have gone better. If you’re on here and you’re not sure who to reach out to, reach out to Marissa! She is responsible, trustworthy and kind. We did an initial meet and greet at my house, and she asked great questions about my cat’s care that even I didn’t think about. She arrived at the same time everyday and sent me the cutest pictures of him. They clearly bonded. Marissa also works in the veterinary field which is great. I will definitely book her again during future trips!

Lisa is an incredibly kind and caring dog sitter. My dog Latte gets so excited every time he sees her, which says everything about how loved and comfortable he feels in her care. She’s attentive, patient, and truly treats him like her own. She’s also very reliable with giving medications and always makes sure his needs are fully taken care of. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone so thoughtful, trustworthy, and compassionate. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets.

Stephanie took great care of my two cats, Oreo and Nala, while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and made sure their routines were kept consistent, which I really appreciated. Oreo is a social butterfly and enjoyed her company right away. What impressed me most was seeing my shy girl Nala slowly come out of her shell. By the last couple of visits she was rubbing against Stephanie and even allowing pets, which is a big deal for her. That alone speaks volumes to me. Stephanie also shared photos during the visits and kept things running smoothly while I was gone. I’m grateful that I was able to relax on my trip knowing my cats were being looked after, and came home to two happy kitties. Thank you again, Stephanie! 🐱
