“Maya was amazing and will be my first pick for watching my animals from now on. Super professional, sent me updates, and I felt so at ease leaving my babies in her care. (Almost didn’t leave a review because I don’t want her to be too in demand!)”

“Whitney stayed with our Great Dane for a second time and was amazing! We got a video each day along with photos. She also took care of my kid’s reptiles. She is super responsive and kind. I’ll continue to use her when we go away! The best :)”

“Lauren was wonderful! Easy to work with, accommodating, and communicative. And most importantly, our pups were happy and taken care of! I would not hesitate to book again, and highly recommend!”

“Took great care of our pup. Sent pictures everyday, sometimes multiple pictures. Our rascal chewed on a few of her items and she let me know if the most polite and professional way.”

“Candice was great! We felt comfortable going out for the evening and leaving Clementine in her care. We received several texts and pictures showing Clementine enjoying her snuggles and belly rubs while we were out. Also, Candice stopped by to meet Clementine ahead of time and asked pertinent questions about her food and routine. We would highly recommend Candice!”

“Chelsea was wonderful house-sitting and taking care of our Winston. She was punctual and attentive and was a pleasure to work with. I'd definitely reach out to her in the future and would highly recommend!”

About: I have owend both cats and dogs all my life ans have experience sitting both cats, dogs, and even horses. I feel confident in pet sitting and even enjoy it. I have a part time job, but can be around mornings and nights for days I work. On days i dont work I can be around during the day as well. I can esily adjust to your pets routien, I dont mind staying in home with the pet(s), or drop in visits to take care of the pet(s).
About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

About: With having a profession in animal care and living with dogs and cats my entire life, I have lots of experience taking care of pets. I, regularly, handle very friendly and very unfriendly/anti-social dogs and cats, which is very fun for me! I work full-time taking care of animals, but will be available after hours for at least a few hours most days and have most of Friday and Saturday available. I do not offer services in my own home, but I am able to offer every service in yours. I can walk, play with, and just interact with your animals in whatever way you need and if they do not socialize in those types of ways, that's alright too!
