“Beth was amazing with our kitties! She went above and beyond to make sure they both were both fed and comfortable. I'm very grateful for her help and will certainly reach out to her in the future!”


“Angela has cared for our two older cats on two different occasions and we would highly recommend her services. She leaves detailed messages and pictures with each visit (during our week away). She understands some cats are quite shy but takes note of their eating, food and water needs and advised us when one cat seemed sickly. This allowed us to contact our vets even before we got back home to set up an appointment. I’m sure you will get a great pet care giver!”


“Luie is very professional and personable. He made us feel so comfortable about leaving our kitties home during our trip.I l loved the pictures he sent to us of our babies. I would highly recommend him to.care for your animals.”

“Last week was our first encounter with Samantha as Walter’s pet sitter and our house sitter. We received daily updates and photos, he was calm and happy when we returned home, and our house was in perfect order.”


“Olga is great! Ruth (my cat) warmed up to her very quickly. Olga is very communicative, provided consistent and timely updates, and was upfront about any scheduling or timing conflicts that we were able to work around without any issues. She was also able to administer daily medication for Ruth while we were away which is a huge plus! Highly recommend Olga for drop-ins and we will absolutely be repeat customers!”

“As always Liz has been amazing with our cats. The amount of patience she has with our little cats is amazing. We came back and they are very happy and well taken care of. Thank you again!”


“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting Busara with the care of our 9-month-old kitten for five nights, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, Busara demonstrated exceptional professionalism and genuine affection for our kitten. Throughout our trip, she kept us consistently informed, sending regular updates and photos that showcased our kitten’s well-being and playful moments. Her attentive communication provided us with peace of mind, knowing our pet was in caring and capable hands. Upon our return, it was evident that our kitten had been well-cared for, appearing content and healthy. Busara’s dedication and attention to detail exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”


About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.

“Michele was a wonderful find. It was our first experience using Rover and we are so happy we found her. She was very good with our dog who takes a while to warm up to new people. Michele never missed a walk, was always on time and very gentle with our girl. She provided us feedback regularly and treated our dog like her own. We would highly recommend Michele.”


“Nicole is fabulous! She once again did a great job caring for our household of cats—most of them elderly, so they’re a handful. Nicole continues to prove she’s reliable and trustworthy.”



“We have used Chrissy numerous times and each time we are so so so pleased! She takes such good care of our cat when we are out of town. She is so sweet and we would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone! You won’t regret it!”


“Kamryn is wonderful and was great with our two cats! We got notes and pics at each visit. More importantly, our cats loved her and they are picky about who they like. 😆 Would definitely recommend and we will be booking her again many more times.”


“Zelle was tremendous! When we first met she put me at ease right away, so friendly and asking such good questions. She really wanted to understand our dogs differing needs. During our absence, she checked in at our agreed upon times and sent lovely pictures at each check-in. It was such a comfort to know my fur babies were cared for so lovingly. Will not hesitate to call on her again.”


About: I've always had at least one dog and one cat at all times. I currently have 2 dogs right now. I have experienced in giving pill and liquid meds to dogs. My one dog would always have to be given meds with something while my other one too with ease. I've had to help wrap my sister's dogs legs with her and by myself. My personal dog currently are a 1 year old 70 lbs lab mix (male) and a 95 lbs mastiff mix (male). My sister's dog is a 50 lbs boxer mix (female). My first dog was a 95 lbs rhodesian ridge back who died of sickness at age 13. And my second dog was a 95 lbs staffordshire terrier great dane mix who passed from cancer at age 9. And I've worked with dogs at under one but over 7 months. And I've worked with seniors. Nothing grosses me out in the sense of bodily fluids I can do all the normal. I currently have no job I'm a full time college student with some extra time on my hands. I'm looking to be able to help others and maybe have some fun with some pets. I can easily crate you dog or take them on a long walk. If your animal need meds as long as I know of them I can give it to them easily (ex. liquid or pill) unless I don't know how to ( ex. shots) then I will ask if you'd like to. If they need meds or food to be given a specific way like peanut butter with the pill or has a release command to get food. I'm willing to walk through the whole house as long as doors are unlocked and check for if they made a mess either vomit or poop or pee and pick it up. Blood does not gross me out and I'm willing to do anything for their safety.


“Great communication! The cats were well taken care of and she even went the extra mile to make sure they had enough litter. Really appreciated and will use services again when we go out of town! Thank you so much Nicole!”


About: I’m someone who has grown up surrounded by animals and truly can’t imagine life without them. From a young age, I’ve had a deep love and respect for pets of all kinds. As a teacher, I’m currently off for the summer—so I have a very flexible and open schedule to dedicate to pet care! I’m available and ready to provide it—without having to juggle a busy workday. Your pet is treated just like one of my own—with lots of love, attention, and comfort. I know how important routine and a calm environment are for animals, especially when they’re away from you

About: I have always had animals since the day I was born. I grew up in an animal loving family and now I have my own animal loving family. I will be able to bathe, walk, feed, and board. I can take both cats and dogs. I am currently only working 1 hour a day Monday-Friday. This leaves me plenty of time to play with your pup and care for them. I am available to watch your pups weekend and weekdays. Drop off times are always flexible and based on your needs! I have a fenced in back yard so your pups will get plenty of exercise. I also have two dogs both who love to play are run around the yard. They are good with both small and larger dogs.
