About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 10 years. Most of my experience comes from small to medium size dogs, but I’m also open to caring for dogs of any size. Additionally, I have experience with senior dogs that may take an extra amount of care/support (I.e., administering medicine, helping them get around, etc.). Im currently unemployed, so id be able to drop in at any time necessary. I won’t be available during the first couple weeks of December, but other than that I am free. I will make sure to clean any messes or wash dishes while you are away. I like to keep the house clean while I pet sit.

Heidi was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and while we were gone, our heater breaker flipped off and she quickly helped identify it and fix it. Our cat Pearl was well cared for while we were away and we would gladly book Heidi again!

This was our first time using Rover. Carmen was a great choice for us. We can tell she truly cares about pets and understands they are part of your family. One of our cats was not feeling well with injured paw. Carmen spent time with him, made sure he was comfortable, gave us detailed updates and sent pics every visit. It was reassuring to know our boys were in good hands while we were away. They were content with her and we could enjoy our trip. We will definitely use Carmen again if she is available!

She has a special touch for sure. Our cat has a fear of strangers however, I received photos of Morgan brushing our shy kitty. Morgan was the perfect person to care for our pets.

Tabatha was wonderful. She was able to adjust her schedule once one of my other cat sitters was unable to make it. I also extended her services one day which she was happy to accept. I highly recommend her. She followed the instructions perfectly. My Chloe was very happy to see her.

Dawn is outstanding! We were nervous to let someone into our home to check on our two kitties each day during our two-week vacation. Dawn made the entire process easy and comforting from beginning to end. After the meet and great, we knew our kitties were in good hands. She provided detailed and personalized updates each day and sent photos. While our cats are typically apprehensive of strangers, Dawn took the time to develop a connection with both of them, adjusting food requirements, brushing and playing with them. She even watered the house plants for us. We never worried for a minute while away. We feel very fortunate to have found Dawn and will certainly recommend her to our family and friends, Thank you, Dawn!!

Noel provided exemplary care for my cats while I was away, demonstrating professionalism and compassion. Noel’s excellent communication skills, including regular updates and adorable pictures, reassured me of my cats' well-being. Not only did Noel understand my cats' individual quirks and preferences, but it was clear that my grumpy old man, Zorro built an immediate and genuine rapport with Noel, meaning Noel’s got that whole cat aura thing where they immediately know they’re safe. Noel’s personable nature, responsiveness, and reliability made the whole trip away easy for me to relax and know the boys were in good hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Noel to anyone in need of top-notch pet sitting services and will undoubtedly seek Noel out for assistance again in the future.

Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!

Ellie was very communicative about how each visit went and showed pictures of how my cat was doing (which was generally being dramatic about my absence haha). She followed instructions very well and made sure my kitty was well taken care of (even if she would disagree about her presence lol) Overall Ellie is a fantastic sitter and I would book her again if I needed her :)

Simply the best! Vanessa went above and beyond to make sure the first time I ever needed a sitter was stress free for both my cat and myself. She updated me with pics, videos, and information about him using the potty and their activity time together. I booked with quite a late notice and she came in to save the day regardless! Highly recommend for exceptional care when needing to leave your furry friends at home.
