Haylea is a fantastic sitter. She sends so many pictures and communicates so much information. I am happy to recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their best friend.

Heather is such a wonderful cat sitter! This was our second time having her do drop in visits for our 3 cats. She does a great job communicating and we love the pictures she sends. Our cats are happy and aren't anxious at all when we come home. We highly recommend her and will continue to use her services! Thank you, Heather!

I love being able to always count on Deanne to follow through on her commitments. I was gone for 11 hours and it felt wonderful knowing my dogs would be let out. I appreciate the cute photos she sends too and how the app tells you when she came and left.

Declan clearly dedicates his time making sure our dog is mentally and physically engaged during his visits, which is not an easy feat with an energized 6mo lab! We are very grateful to have an enthusiastic and experienced handler like Declan around.

We had a meet and greet prior to the drop-in visit and our dog was very comfortable with Heather. Heather also communicated with us prior to and after the visit. We were very pleased with Heather’s service and will definitely use her again.

About: I’ve taking care of animals, specifically dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old. Whether that’s taking them for walks, feeding them, taking them to the groomer or vet or just spending time with them. I’ve dealt with animals with anxiety as well as animals that don’t get along with others. I have also pet sat for multiple friends and family’s and always treated their pets like my own. I’m currently unemployed so I will have more than enough time to care for your pets. Whether that is just letting your dog out or pet sitting for a few days, I’m there. I have two dogs of my own who are spoiled and loved beyond words. They are walked regularly and fed fresh food. They get more than enough cuddles and they are great protectors. I will be sure to spoil your fur babies too.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life. I've kept aquariums, grew up with dogs, even raised two puppies in my time. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and do not want to track dandruff home, so I will not be offering services for cats aside from drop ins. I'm just a dad trying to be more active, make friends, and provide a service to the community. I love pets and I think they are an absolute blessing. For my fee I will actively exercise and play with your pets, teach them tricks or commands (if desired), and ensure they are pampered, engaged with, and given attention, rather than simply supervision. Ft dad, ft student, part time worker. Weekends, early mornings, and night walks are the best times for me to incorporate into my schedule. Weekdays are devoted to my family and studies, but for the right arrangement I'm willing to setup Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday commitments. How I care for your pet is entirely up to you, I will accommodate whichever preferences you may have. Every pet deserves to be played with, get exercise, and be well pampered. Rubs downs, brushing, bathing, I'm comfortable caring for your pet how you know best.

Maria was amazing. My kittens (8 months old) really enjoyed her visits and considered her part of their family. Have already booked Maria's next visit. Was nervous as this was my first pet sitter and first time away from my "crew" but a great sitter.

I appreciated Sydneys prompt response to my initial inquiry and questions/messages. She was flexible on short notice to come to meet us and do a drop in the next day. Followed all instructions (in my way too long note), checked in, sent pictures and all was well with my pup on return. Sydney is nice, mature and trustworthy. She is just starting out on Rover so for just figuring all that out — she was great. Sometimes I look for a lot of reviews but glad I gave Sydney a try for sure. Don’t hesitate — I recommend Sydney and I’ll book with her again!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly treat every pet like my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re at work or away on vacation. I’m a mom of two who works from home, which allows me to have a flexible and reliable schedule. I’m available for pet care between 8:00am–2:30pm and again from 4:00pm–8:00pm most days. Because I’m home based, I’m able to consistently show up on time, provide dependable care, and give your pets the attention they need during the day while you’re at work or away. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always treat any pet with respect, care, and attention to detail. I follow all instructions closely, keep doors secured, and make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable at all times. I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether that means giving them space or extra attention. I also provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for just like they would with you 🫶🏻

A first rate job taking care of my elderly cat. She was fed exactly on schedule and her dietary considerations were met as directed. My pet was played with, cuddled and visited by a conscientious and kind caretaker who I felt confident was respectful of my property. Chris is a treasure.

About: I absolutely adore being around animals. I started working in a vet and got a ton of great hands on experience. That means Ive seen it all. Dogs that are shy, hyper, scared, aggressive, happy, they come in all shapes and sizes. One thing I’ve noticed in dog care is they all need patience, and I’ve got a lot of that when it comes to those furry, tail wagging babies. Now, I’d like to take that experience into dog walking/sitting. I’ve grown up having 4 dogs at a time of all breeds ranging from Dochsund to a giant Doberman. I currently have a 5 year old pup named Darla, a Doberman puppy named Stella, and a little kitty named Ace. I look forward to giving your pet/pets lots of love and a healthy, active day while your away! I work from home. I will not be available all hours of the day, but daily drop in visits for a walk or weekend visits would fit just fine with my schedule. I like to enjoy outside or backyard play if accepted at your home. If there is not a fenced yard, we can enjoy the smells of the neighborhood on a nice walk!

About: Your pet will treated just the same as my own 2 year old pup, Mochi. They will be treated when they are doing things positively, shown affection for good deeds, and praised when they listen. I am here to help you bring out the best in your pet & share with you what I observe during my time with them. All of our pets are near and dear to our hearts. I promise to care for them with respect, dignity, & compassion. If you would like your dog to have some extra social time with Mochi, he is always available for playing, chasing and sniffing. My goal with your pet is to help them learn to trust you more and give them a positive role model to follow.

This is the second time I’ve had Haylea cat sit. I am so thankful for her. She took such great care of my cat and sent updates and pictures every day. It was such a comfort knowing Haylea was taking wonderful care of my cat.
