“Ashley was so wonderful with our kitties! They can take some time to warm up to new people, but they trusted her within the first day! Her updates and photos made us feel less guilty for being away. Highly recommend!”
“Stacey was an absolute pleasure to meet, and I can tell our boys loved her because the shy one came out for photos! The boys were both happy and healthy when we got home, and even more important, they were both…chill. Serene, not anxious. She obviously spent time with them so they wouldn’t feel lonely or upset. In short: we are extremely happy and look forward to a long happy pet-sitting relationship!”
“Sarah could not be more amazing from start to finish! Her passion, care and consideration for animals truly shows. I appreciate the detailed updates, fast replies and constant communication and responsiveness. I would recommend Sarah for all your pet care needs!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our cat while we were in vacation for the week! From the moment we met Kate, we knew she would take great care of our furry friend while we were away. Typically our cat is very shy, but Kate was able to get her to come out of hiding and have some quality play time. Thank you so much Kate!!”
About: I have taken care of animals (horses, chickens, cats, dogs, fish, alpacas, pigs, etc.) at multiple houses and farms. I was always the one people would turn to when it came to taking care of their household of animals when they were away. I am in the process of becoming a dog trainer as well as groomer! I've had experience with giving animals shots, pills and liquid medication as well as care after surgeries. Since I am self employed that gives me more open time to play, walk and care for the animals. Currently I own 2 cats and 2 dogs that live with me, I will need a few times a day to let them out a couple times a day. In my home I have a dedicated animal room that has beds, crates, a dog couch, lots of sunlight and a deck for the dogs to hang out on. I also have a pen that I can use if there are dogs or puppies that cannot hold their bladder and have frequent accidents. Blankets and toys galore for the dogs anytime they need them. There is a large yard for the dogs to roam around in or hiking areas for us to walk on. In your home I will make sure to take care of your lovely pet as I would with any of mine! Cuddles and snuggles as well as springs and tug-of-war, whatever activity the animals need to get their energy out as well as keeping them feeling safe and happy. The directions given to me from you will be taken to heart. Feeding, walking and sleeping schedules will be upheld to a T.
“Erin did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Mia! Erin is very sweet and Mia liked her a lot (which says something!) Would definitely recommend Erin for anyone needing pet sitting.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life! Anything from a cat, dog, frog, snake, lizard, horse, rats, birds. I love them all! I have researched so many animals Hello there hows it going? ! I work part time Door Dashing so would like to increase my income and hopefully just do rover full time! I have a large fenced yard that can host quite the dog party. I have 2 dog friendly dogs to give your precious fur babies company too! I also have a car to drive to your home for petcare too of course!
“Jennifer was awesome checking in on my 2 cats while I was away at a conference. We texted and also spoke via phone about each cat’s need, how they may respond with a new person, and my expectations. She spent the time of the short check in to ensure they were fed, watered, and did play time with them. She also kept me apprised the entire time. I plan to use her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Zeel was great! We were gone for an 8 day cruise and she sent pictures, videos, and stayed in contact with me the whole time. We paid for 30 min visits and she ended up staying much past that several times! When first meeting Zeel, she made us feel much more calm about leaving our “kids” for so long. She is truly passionate about their well-being and care, she always provided love and fun! Thanks Zeel!!!”
