Haylea was awesome with our Lab Goldie! She enjoyed playtime with her. Will definitely have her again when we need someone to be with her when we can’t.

Heather is great to work with! She is very caring and even came over in for an emergency visit while we were away traveling. She is very understanding of cats personalities and works with them. We will definitely have her pet sit for us again!

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.

Wonderful! Deanna jumped right in to help us with a last minute vacation, took care of our cat Shenny, and even made a special trip to return our house key. Thank you so much, Deanna!

Always feel very comfortable leaving my cats with Maria. I sometimes think they are waiting for me to go out of town so they can her come play with them.

About: I grew up with lots of animals and have been helped people with there animals and know how to take care and stay on schedule I mostly work afternoons which are typically 8 hour shifts. I can wake up early, and also stop by late at night. I usually am not busy in the morning or on weekends. I currently have a fenced in yard with a pool, so I know how to guide your dog around areas that maybe aren’t the best for them!

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: Throughout my childhood I have owned and raised dogs of all sizes. I also have experience with working at a barn where I gained hands-on experience with daily animal care routines and ensuring the well-being of many animals including cats. I genuinely love all animals and enjoy taking care of them. I am a college student returning home for the summer and I’m planning to make pet care my full-time focus. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available most days and times. I’m responsible, reliable and committed to making this my top priority. You can count on me to be consistent and dependable when caring for your dog. At home I have three large dogs and a fenced in backyard for my high-energy dogs. My dogs are fed twice a day and receive daily vitamins and medications with their meals.

About: I’ve had dogs in my household my whole life. I am friendly, reliable, and able to take care of dogs in need of some exercise or some belly rubs. I used to train horses so taking care of dogs is nothin! I am a college student home for the summer and am available most days except Saturdays. I am also pretty flexible so whatever you and your pet need I can help with. Just looking to walk dogs and house sit at your home so I don’t have much equipment, but whatever materials you provide I can work with and take great care of your pet!

Lilli and Zachary were wonderfully responsible care takers for our dog and home. Lilli is a prompt, kind, and excellent communicator. Our meet and greet went well, and I could immediately sense we could trust this nice young couple. They provided wonderful care for our 10 year old dog who had never been left alone before (we always had other dogs and in-home overnight care). Initially our dog was a bit shy, according to Lilli, but she ultimately warmed to them and they became fast friends. Lilli’s reports were detailed complete with pictures. I would highly recommend Lilli and Zachary!

About: I’ve had doggos my whole life and have been entrusted by friends/neighbors to take care of theirs since I was a kid! My family calls me Snow White because I’ve never met an animal that hasn’t liked me (it’s true). I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’d be honored with the trust of walking/checking in on your furry friend! *If weekends are needed, please ask upon booking!* I blocked due to my job, I’m a full-time real estate agent, but I’m able to have some flexibility. I’d be available earlier in the mornings and mid to late afternoon’s most days, but that could be subject to change depending on the day. When you book, I’ll be able to provide times with certainty, but I’d be able to walk and/or drop in up to twice a day during the week. I’ll treat your home and animal(s) as if they’re my own! I always make sure the animal(s) have enough fresh water, food (according to the feeding routine that’s given), and play time! If the animal(s) make a mess, I have no issue tidying/cleaning as needed. I’ll never leave without ensuring that the animal(s) are where they’re instructed to be, if applicable, and will always make sure your doors are closed/locked when I leave.

About: I have had animals of all walks of life since I was a child. Dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, fish, bunnies and even a donkey. Animals have naturally been drawn to me and I have often been the only one to help an animal. I show all animals unconditional love and care. I have nursed senior dogs until they need to cross the rainbow bridge. I am available for early morning, afternoon and evening help. I work from home and have the flexibility to meet the needs of a pet in my care. I am not able to care for animals in my apartment. All services will be on site for the client and their pet. I will adhere to the clients wishes for their pet once we establish a relationship.

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.
