“Lili did a wonderful job of taking care of our cat Sherlock. And then she went above and beyond for us! Feeding, watering, and cleaning weren't enough - so she brushed Sherlock, played with her, and even lovingly applied catnip on demand! Then she took in the mail and took out the trash. We couldn't be happier. Thank you Lili.”
“We are so incredibly happy to have found Lisa as our new dog sitter! Our two large dogs absolutely adore her and get so excited when she arrives. We love that she is so reliable, always arriving on time, and is incredibly flexible with our schedules. What truly sets Lisa apart is her fantastic communication. She consistently sends us pictures and videos of our happy pups, which gives us so much peace of mind. We highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and communicative dog walker/sitter!”
“Thank you Cyndi for taking care of Jack and Guiness and sending us the pictures, it gave us a lot of piece of mind knowing that Cyndi was taking care of our 2 cats! I can highly recommend Cyndi”
“Carrie was our first experience with Rover. It was obvious, when meeting our cat for the first time, that Carrie made a special connection with our cat. She paid attention to the instructions we left for her to follow, and helped us feel confident in our selection, especially with daily photos and postings of our cat. We are totally pleased with Carrie and the wonderful care she provided for Ms Mimi. Mimi and her parents look forward to the opportunity to using her services in the future.”
“Sophia is a very warm person, so grateful to have her this week to care for my pet. I can rest assured. We practiced everything in the pet routine. My pet bonded to her nicely. Very caring and knowledgable.”
“Alba (Priscilla) was great! I was worried our shy kitty would just stay hidden and not get any interaction while we were gone. But Priscilla was great with them & they both got play time and pets. They were healthy and happy when we got home! Would definitely book again.”
“Excellent! Michael is very thoughtful and does a great job. He is very reliable and we feel very fortunate to have such a capable and kind cat sitter. I love that he gives us updates and sends photos. Thanks Michael!”
“Katilin was awesome to work with and sent us great updates about her drop-ins with our cat. She sent some good photos and gave a full run-down of how our cat was doing, which was especially important to us given some recent health issues he's had. We'll definitely work with Kaitlin going forward!”
“We've had Olivia watch our two cats a few times now, and she is great! She spends a lot of time playing with them, and the photos she sends of each visit really make us smile when we are far away from the little ones. I'd definitely recommend Olivia for cat sitting, and anything else!”
About: Hello! I am passionate about animal care and love dogs and cats! I grew up with dogs all my life so I know how to care for your animal. :) I regularly walk dogs for 30-60 minutes. I make sure to walk the dogs for at least .75 miles for a half hour walk and 1 mile for an hour walk. I can also walk two dogs at the same time so if you have 2 dogs don't be afraid to book me! Usually the walks amount to a greater distance than that! I am also available for overnight pet sitting and drop ins to make sure your furry friends are doing okay at home (feeding them etc.) I make sure to fulfill all your needs with pet care and am excited to meet your pets! I currently work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible! Message me and we can work out schedules and your pet’s needs. I’m here to care! I offer sitting at your home and can accommodate any needs you have like watering plants, taking out the trash, etc. Just let me know the deets :).
About: 🐾 Hey I’m Yasmin! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I believe in treating all animals with kindness and being gentle❤️ What sets me apart from others? Well, it’s not just a JOB to me. 🐾 I work from home and can drop in on your pets to check on them! You can book me for dog walking as well! 🐾 I can deal with needy/anxious dogs and cats. ❤️ I always send cute pictures/updates daily! As you can see, I LOVE making collage pics of your pets it’s so fun to keep as a memory 😊 ❤️🩹 I offer Constant Care (24/7 care) for dogs that can’t be left alone at all for any amount of time. This sets me apart from others because I can be much more personal with your pet, insuring they get exercise, and feel as normal as possible in a real home environment. I deal with anxious pets very well, and I enjoy doing this! I work part time during the week and I’m able to drop in depending on the times you request! Just reach out and let me know :) ❤️🐾I can drop in anytime you want and check on your pets, feed them, brush them, clean them, walk them, and give them attention while you’re gone.
“Alan has been my go-to to watch my cat and house for the past 6 months now. He is always reliable and on top of everything at each visit, including impromptu tasks here and there beyond the original plan. My cat Jennifer is always in a good mood when I get back home and I trust Alan to take great care of her while I am away! I couldn't recommend Alan higher.”
“Jennifer came to the rescue this week when I needed a house sitter (on rather short-notice) for my newly adopted kitten. She provided the reassurance I needed, by sending photos throughout the time I was away. She also lives nearby which made it convenient. I came back home to a clean litter box, full water bowls & bellies. I’ll be happy to hire her again as needed.”
