Anna took fantastic care of my cat while I was out of town. I got lots of pictures during the drop in visits and he was interactive during play time.

She was very communicative and gave Clio lots of attention and care. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Clio was happy and relaxed when I got back. I would definitely have her watch Clio again.

About: Hello! I’m 20 years old and a lifelong animal lover who’d love to offer friendly and trustworthy care. All my life I’ve had a sweet spot for animals, I have a furry friend of my own I’ve recently adopted almost a year ago now. I provide safe and engaging walks with lots of attention. Growing up I have always been around animals, my grandma currently has a senior dog (cocker spaniel) so I have some experience with administering medication. Larger dogs are no problem for me. I’m currently looking for something fun and active to fulfill my time with, I’d love to be a resource for you and your pet! I’m currently free in the mornings and afternoons to care for and walk your pups! I’m looking for fun things to fill my day with. I provide attentive care by ensuring feeding, playtime, comfort, and a clean stress-free environment. While on walks I will be sure to keep them active and safe.

Jade has been our pet sitter several times and we have another service booked with her in the future. She is a credit to Rover.com service. Jade offers great care, affection and administers insulin injections to one of our two cats. When we came home our cats were happy and had good care. The best service is peace of mind when we are gone knowing Jade has our home and beloved cats in her care. Thanks Jade for your love, care and responsible service.

About: I have had pets my whole life! I have experience with cats, dogs, horses, chickens, fish, frogs, turtles, and small furry critters such as hamsters and rabbits. I Have cared for new born puppies and kittens when the mother was not able and elderly pets that need a little extra love. Pets that are very energetic or relaxed. Pets that are having a hard time medically and need fluids or pain medications. I have cared for wounded animals and healthy ones. I'm available most days during work hours. When your fur baby needs love and care during the day while you are away I can be there for pets, walks, snacks, medications, a simple check in and more. Every animal is it's own self and all need different care. When pet sitting while friends or family are at work or on trips I always make sure the pet has a good long session of play, affection, walk or forms of exercise, clean and full water and food dishes. Check for any accidents that need cleaned up or litter boxes that need tending. Then always be sure to double check the yard and home locks are secure before leaving.

I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it!

Sarah did a great job watching Luna. She made sure to get to know Luna before her visit by asking a lot of questions. Sarah communicated well during the visit and sent several pictures. I felt comfortable that Luna was in good hands while we were away.

About: I’ve dog sat for many family friends since I was 16 and have had no complaints! I’ve also raised my own miniature dachshund since she was a baby! I’m currently a senior in high school and working part time at skateland. However, I will always prioritize pet care. I go to school at 8:40 and leave at 2:35 so I can take care of animals before and after school. I work in the evening and make sure I leave in time to take care of the pets. In my home, I bathe the dogs at least once every two weeks. More if they get dirty. My dogs get fed a rice mixture every day at 5 pm. I don’t keep them outside for more than 5 minutes if it’s not warm. I would apply all of this to anyone else’s pet!

Laura took such good care of our 3 kitties while we were gone on vacation and sent us pictures of them every time she visited them. I would definitely recommend booking with her and I would trust her to watch our kitties again any time. :D

About: I’ve always grown up around pets whether they were my families, my own, and all the family friends. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Not saying I’m a professional trainer but I have taught my cat a trick or two:) if you have any specific questions about the care I have done I would love to answer EVERYTHING:) I work as a coach and recruiter so in-between office hours and practices I go home and make sure I give my cat all the love’ns and clean up his litter-box and take him on occasional walk on his harness. Make sure their water is fresh, make sure their feeding schedule is up to date, no messes in the house, hang out with cuddles and enrichment time, and make sure they feel loved:)

This was our first time using Kayla as we normally board our dogs, but our go to and backup boarder we’re both full and due to a previous instance I don’t use any other boarders. Kayla did awesome! She communicated throughout her visits, kept us updated and even sent us several photos, where it was obvious our pups were enjoying her being around! We will use Kayla again and I strongly recommend her - you’ll pups will appreciate it.
