Caitlin was amazing! It was obvious that Ollie and Daisy loved her. She was very accommodating and took care of our pups with love and kindness. I would ask Caitlin to watch Ollie and Daisy again in a heartbeat! Thank you Caitlin!!

This was our first time using Rover and for our wedding weekend at that! McKenna was all-around phenomenal: Coming by early for a meet-and-greet, sending us updates and photos, and most importantly - she was great with our girl Skye ♥ She made both dog and pet parents completely comfortable, and I would one hundred percent recommend her to anyone!

Taylor took wonderful care of our sweet senior girl (15yo!) who has particular needs and takes meds. Sasha was happy and content when we got home, and our house looked great, too. We’re very grateful for the thoughtful care and would absolutely recommend Taylor.

Tara was so amazing with our dog and our cat. She sent us lots of updates while house sitting, took our dog for lots of walks, and gave them both lots of attention 😊 Great job with our pets and great communication. Would book her again in a heartbeat!

Keri was a pleasure to communicate with before and during the pet sit. Our dog, Katy, who is a somewhat recent rescue who doesn't love everyone, took to Keri right way and rested at her feet when we reviewed my long and detailed instructions in our orientation. Katy has a weird behavior associated with her anxiety and that didn't phase Keri at all. Our house has some idiosyncrasies and Keri didn't seem to mind managing those things, like our Berkey water filter needs refilling in a specific way and the AC drips into a bucket so has to be on a timer, etc. Katy also takes medication and other supplements and Keri was great with all that too. We felt confident leaving Katy in her care and, according to our friend who took over for the second week we were gone, all was well with the house (tidy and clean) and all was well with Katy (relaxed and easy). Keri sent me daily communications and photos. Keri even took Katy to the river that we left instructionsn for. I was impressed that Keri took the trouble to do that special outing with Katy. Keri included her husband (with our permission) who also seemed great with Katy. I highly recommend Keri for pet-sitting. She's just super!

Brenna was an amazing pet sitter for us. We have two dogs, both seniors, and one with significant health issues. It is always hard to leave him but had our son's wedding in Canada to attend. Brenna sent constant updates and photos to ease our mind while away. They were very well cared for and loved. I would use Brenna again in a heart beat!

I cannot say enough about Claire. She took care of everything. In my opinion, tater ( the dog ) would rather live with Claire than me at this point. That’s how good she is with animals. 100% recommend her!!!

About: I have cared for many pets my whole life. I love meeting new animals and learning about each and every personality. Had or cared for cats, dogs, and small animals, and willing to meet more! I am available most days and some nights. I can provide early morning care and mid day care, and night care but often after 10pm. I am always attentive to animal body language and keep an eye on how they are feeling in the environment or around me. I follow the guidlines closely that are given by owners on how to care for their pet.

Sally is great! She's detail-oriented, responsible, friendly, helpful, and my dogs loved her! The house was left in better condition than when she arrived! She was very clean and tidy and did some cleaning before she left. She was good about sending updates/pics. We will be using Sally again!
