“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”

“We got so lucky having Bayli looking after our pup. She already knew Tater from the rescue center(complete coincidence) and we felt completely comfortable having her take care of our Tater. I will definitely be using her again!! She kept us updated and would send us pictures!! She’s awesome!!”


“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”


About: I have been caring for animals most of my life. As both an animal lover and as a handler. I became a professional pet sitter after being recommended by colleagues that evolved into now clients who travel often. My gift is that I understand the unique emotional life of the animals which means maintaining a peaceful environment so they feel safe while away from you. I have administered medications as well as helped injured animals and pet sat geriatric pets up to the age of 17 as well. I am a writer and a fitness professional, I love to cook and be outdoors. My schedule is flexible and pet care is second nature for me. I do both in home and out of home pet care depending on the need and longevity of the sit. Prefer to house them myself because of the yard and dog friendly environment. I have experience with extended stays —30 plus days as well.

“Camron is the kindest, gentlest person I know. He is a great human being who loves all, especially animals. He is very loving and caring towards dogs and treats them like family. He would be a great addition and helper for anyone who needs a walker or sitter. To not utilize his affinity for all would be a disservice to your pet!”

“I trusted Sydney with my Bestfriend Bella. Not only did she treat her with kindness and respect but she went he extra mile to make sure Bella was comfortable with her before even taking her for the walk. Bella and Sydney are still friend till this day🎈”

“Originally, we had booked Natalie for the Christmas weekend but had to cancel because of the weather. She was very understanding. Fast forward to last Thursday night, where I had completely forgotten that we were going to be out of town for the weekend, but thankfully she was available to come feed our 2 cats.
