1. Kelli A.
“Kelli is great with our Zeke! He is a 1 year old Lab with lots of energy and requires a lot of attention. You can tell Kelli loves animals by the way she interacts with them. We will use her again when we need another sitter,”


2. Anthony B.

“Anthony is honestly the best. He has been walking them for a couple months now and they LOVE IT. He is so happy to see them and is very particular and diligent about reporting on cards and making sure they have a great (and tiring) time. I am SO GLAD I found him and will definitely continue using his services.”

“She is very reliable, punctual and wonderful with dogs of all breeds and sizes. She works to ensure dogs have fun and are well cared for. Highly recommend!”


4. Kiersten d.
“Kiersten takes phenomenal care of her animals and those she’s caring for! All my animals love her, she came and watched my pets last minute as I had a family emergency and she took phenomenal care of them! They are a lot of work as I have three dogs and a cat that all are on different diets and have different needs. She made sure all of them were taken care of, sent me tons of updates and they were sad to see her go when I got home. You could not ask for a more caring trusting person to watch your pets :) I would absolutely recommend Kiersten to anyone who needs their pets cared for.”

14. Cathy W.

“Cathy did so well with our German Shepherd. He pulls us pretty hard on walks, but wasn’t an issue for Cathy. She was prompt and caring and very communicative. Would definitely request her services again!”


15. Daniel B.
“Dan has always been an absolute blessing for me and my pets. His willingness to step in last minute at a fair price has been a lifesaver for me on multiple occasions. What truly sets him apart is the exceptional care he provides in unexpected situations. His professionalism shines through even in challenging moments, putting my mind at ease. My pets, especially my cautious cat, aren't comfortable with just anyone, but they took to Dan immediately. His patience and understanding worked wonders. When my dog refused to eat during my trip, Dan's dedication went above and beyond - he hand-fed her until her appetite returned. Regular updates from him were a comfort, showing his genuine concern and attentiveness. My pets adore him, and I'm endlessly grateful to have Dan as a pet sitter; he's more than that - he's a true pet companion.”

Your four legged one will be treated like a king or queen and be given lots and lots of love and attention! Julie has plenty of space for your dog to run and get exercise in her beautiful yard, as well! You won't be disappointed! 5 star treatment for pooches!”

I only want what’s best for your pet and to make sure your pet is happy :) I'm currently working part time at an assistant living facility as a 3rd and 2nd shifter, I can do drop in visits on those days and house sitting if your pet can be left alone for 6-8 hrs, I try to update my calendar weekly if not monthly, if I have a house sitting day I will not be available to do walks or drop in visits, all days that are grayed out does not mean I’m not available, I just haven’t gotten my work schedule updated yet but once I do I will update my calendar accordingly. If you have any questions about my availably feel free to send me a message :). I prefer to care for your pet in your home because that's where they are most familiar and it won't stress them out too much.

With over 30 years of experience in caring for animals, including fish, reptiles, small mammals, and of course, cats and dogs, I have honed my skills to ensure the well-being of every furry or non-furry family member. From dealing with anxiety and nervousness to providing specialized care for seniors and those nearing the end of life, I've seen it all and am here to support you and your pet every step of the way. My own family includes three English Springer Spaniels, two of them are 2 year old littermates and one 3 year old. They bring us endless joy and companionship. I can't wait to extend that same love and care to your furry (or fur-less) baby. As a new member of Rover, I'm eager to establish strong connections with my clients and provide consistent, quality care for your beloved pets. While I am still building up my reviews on the platform, I can offer references for you to contact and would be delighted to meet for an interview before scheduling care. I am very excited to meet you and your cherished pet soon!

“Sabrina is the biggest animal lover I know. She advocates for them daily. I know she used to walk her mothers dog often before she moved. She's always had an animal that I can remember and has always given them a wonderful, loving home. She's also not opposed to relaxing and being indoors. Your pets would be in the best hands when choosing Sabrina!”
