“Our kitty cat, Katie, loves Jen! We can't say enough good things about her. Katie was happy and loved on just like if we were home. When an unforeseen situation arose, Jen handled it like the pro that she is. Jen was timely with all of her visits, and took excellent care of our little fur baby. Book with Jen - you won't regret it!”


About: I’ve had just about every animal. Cats, dogs, chickens, cows, horses, donkeys, birds, guinea pigs, ferrets, etc. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. Even pit bulls. I currently am taking care of my Mom and so I have open availability, my schedule is very flexible. I’m available every day of the week. I have a fenced in yard. Also will take your pup out on a leash if needed or if you have room for them to run, throw the ball for them to have some play time

“Kathrine is such a great relief in this area! I had a last minute need and she was so wonderful about helping out ❤️ She’s obviously very caring and nurturing, and gave my fur babies (who are both geriatric and puppy, not easy!) the same love I see she must carry as a natural mother. Highly recommend!”


“We had an amazing experience with Darian! She did a phenomenal job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. We felt reassured from the moment we left knowing they were in good hands. She went above and beyond—keeping us updated with photos and messages, ensuring they stuck to their routines, and showing them so much love and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared for our pups, and we returned to find them happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for better care, and we will absolutely book her again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐾”


“This was the second time I’ve had Katie check on my three cats while I was away and just like last time, she was absolutely amazing! She even threw a birthday party for my two girls, who share a birthday on July 4th. I am so beyond grateful to have found a pet sitter that has such a genuine heart for animals and gives the absolute best care. I will absolutely be booking Katie every single time I need someone to check on my babies! You can trust that she will give your pet(s) the best care and love while you are away. Thank you again, Katie! My cats will certainly be happy to see you again (especially Meejum lol)”


About: **If it shows me as booked please reach out to me on my my Instagram: @ pawsandclaws_petcare and I may be able to work you in! :) I have cared for dogs and other animals many times and have house sat to care for dogs, cats, and even lizards! I have four dogs myself, all sizes. We have a frenchie, a black lab, a golden retriever, and a pit bull! I recently lost my beloved shihtzu, who I miss so much. I love all dogs any shape and size! I have done hours at a vet office for vet tech school, although I was accepted I wasn't able to afford it, so I thought Rover would be a fun part time job where I could still be hanging out with dogs and other animals. I truly care about the well being of your animals and I am very passionate about animals getting the care and attention they deserve. I will take care of your animals the same way I take care of my own fur babies! Please feel free to message me for any questions and details! :) I do work a full time job, but have extra time on certain days and most evenings and weekends. I would NOT take a job unless I knew 100% I could fully take care of the animals needs and am able commit to whatever you may be looking for! I have a large fenced in yard and three dog friendly dogs who love to play and are all UTD on vaccines. If I come to your home, I will make sure your animals are let out, fed, walked if needed and of course (most importantly) get some lovin’s and snuggles while I’m there! :) I update every client I have had with photos and videos of their animal(s)!

“Nikita showed his skills as a dog handler from literally the moment he walked in, greeting the shy dog so skillfully that she happily went right up to him to say hi. He was great with rambunctious Duncan and my very energetic young puppy Holly, managing to keep them playing safely together until they were tired enough to give me a few hours of peace before they recharge their energy. I'll definitely book Nikita again!”

“VIctoria was amazing! Our dogs are rescues and came from abusive situations, so they dont normally take well to strangers and they warmed up to her, which is huge in our book! She is so patient and has a great love for animals. Communicates well and goes above and beyond! I will gladly use her services again and highly recommend!”
