1. Tracy E.
“Tracy was amazing and helped us out when we needed someone to let the dogs out very last minute. Tracy was able to send me a picture with both puppies looking at the camera at the same time. This is just short of a miracle :) so I know he is good with pups.”
2. Edmy N.
“We have had Craig watch our Goldendoodle twice now and he does a fantastic job! Charlie is always calm and happy when we return home! We get updates and photos of how he is doing. Such a good feeling to know he is home and well cared for when we have to be away!”
3. Charity S.
“Charity was incredible!! Very professional and caring. I have a very rambunctious 10 month old Newfoundland that she handled with patience and care. She regularly sent pictures and updates to me. I would recommend her 1000%. She put my mind at ease while I was away on vacation!!”
4. Wes B.
“Wes is fantastic. My dog Sam really enjoys his visits and spending time with the other dogs Wes cares for. It's been a really good experience with Wes! Thank you.”
5. Jennifer T.
“Jennifer did a great job with Ringo & Rossi ! Thank you so much for the care you gave our Senior dogs ! We will definitely be re- booking with her ! ?”
6. Karisa E.
“Karisa E. is amazing in every way. I’m so thrilled that I booked her for drop-in visits for our two cats while we were on vacation for twelve days in Maui. Although I had been happy with other cat sitters that I’ve worked with on Rover, I decided to give Karisa a chance, because she was more affordable. Boy, am I so glad that I did. Karisa bonded with our kitties, Klondike and Sprite, better than anyone I’ve ever worked with before. Sprite, in particular, is very skittish and will hide from pet sitters, but, miraculously, she was happy to let Karisa and her children hold her during visits. Klondike likewise got tons of attention and affection, as evidenced by the many photos Karisa sent. Karisa also took care of watering my many orchids while we were away. Plus, when I forgot to suspend our shipment of frozen meals from The Farmer’s Dog while we were away, Karisa was a lifesaver! Not only did she keep an eye out for the package, but when it arrived, she brought it in out of the hot sun, unpacked it, and stored everything neatly in the freezer for us. I will most definitely be booking her again in the future.”
7. Paris S.
“Paris is the best! She cared for our cats like they were her own! We sincerely appreciate the time, care, and communication. Highly recommend.”
8. Angie B.
“I can not say enough good things about Angie and how much she has aided in mine and my dogs life! Very willing to work with my crazy schedule and seeing my pup multiple times a day multiple days a week. She has cleaned up my dogs vomit and diarrhea, she fought off a Rottweiler to protect my dog which was so above and beyond her call of duty lol. Although I only saw Angie face to face a few times, she had such a positive impact on my life and brought me so much joy with all of the wonderful pictures she sent me of my goofy girl while I was at work. Her and her pup Wrigley hold a special place in our heart ?”
9. Linda B.
“I had Linda as a regular checking in on mila (my dog). She was always so gentle with her and promptly updated river card with details. She communicates really well and I always felt safe having Linda drop in to take Mila out. I highly recommend her to anyone”
10. Bree B.
“Very happy with the service Bree provided for my puppy. Bree has great communication skills and sent updates and photos throughout her visit with Sadie. I will be using her again and highly recommend!”
11. Tiffany B.
“Amazing service! Mylo loves his time with Tiffany!”
12. Taylor C.
“Taylor was awesome! I started a new job and had to travel to Indianapolis everyday from Fort Wayne for training at our corporate office. She took care of my best friend, Max. He is my dog, and means the world to me. He was in great hands with Taylor. She is the best! I will use her for any dog sitting going forward, because my sales schedule is very busy. I highly recommend her to everyone that needs a high quality pet sitter for their animals. Thanks again, Taylor! 😊”
13. Tonie B.
“Tonie was amazing! Super nice and very flexible! It really made me feel better knowing she could help me get my pup out for some exercise and socializing while I was at work!! I would definitely ask her to help out again!”
14. Garrett R.
“Garrett was great with a last minute request. He is awesome!”
15. Kyla H.
“Kyla has been fantastic with pets. Very knowledgeable and caring. Has always taken good care of my pets. Very quick on getting back to me on updates about how my pets are doing also.”
16. Jessica A.
“Jess was amazing to work with and I couldn't have asked for more. Our two cats were loved on so much, our fish were fed regularly, and she made me feel comforted knowing that my crested geckos were safe. We'll be paying her to receive training on catching and feeding crested geckos later in 2022. I don't think anyone else could live up to the expectations I now have for anyone watching my babies. I loved working with Jess and her son, who was incredibly sweet and helpful. She was asked to continue to work longer when we were stranded in Detroit due to tge Delta cancelations. Thank you again, Jess. You cannot put a price on knowing that your animals are safe.”
17. Brooklyn P.
About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.
18. Hannah H.
“Hannah was wonderful throughout the whole process, and Bella was so happy and calm when we got home. Hannah was an excellent communicator and sent the sweetest notes and pictures of Bella each time she stopped by. We recommend Hannah to everyone, and we’re looking forward to having her watch Bella again in the future! Thank you, Hannah!!”
19. Catherine D.
“Always very reliable and respondent my normally timid cat warmed right up would highly recommend!”
20. Erin K.
About: I am a college student in the healthcare field who has a special place in my heart for pups! I have a fur baby who live out of town and am excited to look after yours! I have experience watching and caring for dogs, rodents (specifically guinea pigs, rabbits and hamsters), and fish. However, I am open to caring for other species as well! I am happy to put my knowledge into practice when caring for any pups, specifically those with special considerations such as senior pups. I have particular experience with caring for a dog with pancreatitis which includes sticking to a specific diet and administering oral medication. Id love to care for your pets and keep them safe and happy :) I am currently a college student who has time on the weekends to play and take care of your furry friend! Whether it’s staying with them while you’re on a weekend away, or stopping in to say hi. I am adaptable and willing to follow any house rules you have in place! I am also happy to take care of other things around the house (such as plants, aquatic animals, etc) as needed!
