“We have a had bad experiences in the past with friends watching our animals, so we decided to turn to rover in hopes to find someone reliable. Thank goodness we did, because Cher did an excellent job taking care of our animals while we were away! She followed our directions to a T and was very reliable! I look forward to booking her in the future.”


“i'm very picky of which dogsitter i pick for roscoe, but rain made me feel incredibly confident and comfortable with having them in my home (not to mention the added bonus of rain being a volunteer at the shelter i adopted Roscoe from!) they follow instructions to a T, always checking in with me and leaving my home better than when i left. i get consistent updates and quick responses! anyone who books Rain is lucky to have their pets in such good hands thank you!!”


“Michelle was great. She was responsive and asked great questions when it came to care for our cats. She made sure to cater to specific needs, and sent cut photos to let us know everything was okay. Would definitely recommend.”


About: I am not your typical pet-sitter. I have spent my entire life caring for all types of animals. My first job was at a pet store learning the skills of working with animals and their people. After college I worked as a zookeeper where I cared for everything from mealworms all the way to rhinos. Specialized care was the name of the game there and I was able to recognize the smallest details on how to improve my work with exotics. Then I was led into the world of shelter work. Where I studied pet behavior and early signs of stress and how enrichment can help save lives. Many animals coming into the shelter would need some form of medication as well. I have a skillset of administering medications and making sure the animals actually receive their meds. Lastly, I was a dog training apprentice. I was able to form bonds with dogs that most people wouldn't come near. I can read body language well and know how to show dogs respect. I aim to be your go-to pet-sitter where you can actually enjoy your trip. I will make your pet my priority. I have an excellent ability to find balance in my schedule. You can trust that your pet is cared for how you want them to be. I have quite a few pets in my home and all are well cared for. I will offer the same care to the animals you care for. I will ask for detailed instructions and follow your schedule as closely as I can.

“Lily was terrific. She connected with our cat immediately and took great care of her. She stayed in touch with us so we knew how each visit went and we could ask and answer questions. Would definitely have Lily pet sit again.”
