About: As a pet-owner and rover-user myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust take care of your pets when you aren't available. I am passionate about giving dogs happy highlights to each and every day, and I love to play with them and take them on long walks to sniff and enjoy the outdoors. As a work-from-home employee, I am often free during work hours to pay your pet a visit or take them on a nice walk to help break up the day while you are away! I can be free on evenings and weekends as well, and would be happy to spend time playing with your pet and giving them happy moments each and every day while they wait for you to return. My dog loves to play indoors, which means I am extra vigilant that the house is safe for him should he get zoomies and run around the furniture. I would be careful to provide that safe environment for your dog as well, in your home or mine.

Shane was wonderful as always. A very last minute scheduling conflict came up in my household that would have left our animals without care. Shane was kind enough to accommodate us so last minute and take care of everyone. So thankful he could help us in a pinch like that.

Maia was absolutely fantastic! She was super communicative and sent a bunch of adorable photos and lengthy notes with updates on my cats. I have two little anxious babies and she was so good about making sure they took their meds and I could see from the photos how relaxed they were around her. When I came home they weren’t even mad at me for being gone! Would 10/10 recommend!

Julie was amazing! I would use her services without hesitation. Very professional and competent. Daily would send me pics and videos. I never for one moment was worried about the care she was providing my furry son. I highly recommend her! My cat connected with her and went into cat loaf and pet me mode almost immediately. That in itself is a huge sign of her highly rated skill level.

This is the second time we have asked Razia to cat sit for us, and she knocks it out of the park every time! She sends such great updates with at least 15 photos every day, and she is very cognizant of letting me know how thimble is doing in every way.

Ann was an incredible pet sitter. She was well-organized, always kept us informed about our cat's status, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure our cat had a positive experience. If I ever need a pet sitter, I will definitely go with Ann again, and I could not recommend her more.

Abbey was great! She sent us timely updates about our two cats, which helped us so much while missing our pets when out of town. She also took the time every time she visited to go above and beyond to play with them and spend quality time. As two very social cats, it was much appreciated. When we returned home, you could tell they were happy and loved while we were gone. Will definitely be using Abbey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets!

Again, Byul went above and beyond. My last minute trip was unexpectedly extended. And she was so helpful in continuing the service while I was out. She provided daily pictures of Cashmere (extremely timid kitty that she is was always in hiding in her favorite spot) and also of the food and water. She understood my concerns about ensuring Cashmere had plenty of fresh food and water. Byul was a joy to work with, reliable and flexible. She took great care of my fur baby. I highly recommend her!
