“Lacy went well above and beyond what was required of just setting out food, water, and cleaning the litter box. She got to know my very opinionated Queen Lilly who rules our end of the block. Lacy gave her the one on one attention and socialization she needs every day to remain calm and somewhat agreeable. Lacy won Lilly's trust and even hand fed her treats. It is the first time I returned home from a trip and did not get a two hour lecture of complaints from Lilly about how she was abandoned and left to starve with no company (which was not the case - she just did NOT like her caretaker). Happy cat = VERY happy cat owner!!”
“Krysten was the perfect person to care for all of our fur babies! It was our first time using an app like this and Krysten guided us through it all, was so kind and caring, and even gave us her discount code. 12/10 amazing job!!! I was nervous about leaving my cat and bunnies with someone I didn’t know, but she cared for them like they were her own. She even left cute pictures and detailed descriptions every day so I didn’t feel anxious! Love love love Krysten and will book her again. :)”
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”
“Cayla goes above and beyond, provides outstanding care for my one year old golden retriever who can be a handful at times. Cayla is very patient, playful, flexible and provides detailed updates and great photos. I highly recommend her!!”
“We were very happy with Emily. She came twice a day as we requested and took care of our cats. She answered any questions I had and sent us photos and videos of them. I would request Emily again.”
“Kaylan has been a godsend for when I go out of town and forget to contact a sitter in a timely manner. She has been able to make strides with Arthur in a short period of time and I appreciate knowing that when I am away, Kaylan and Arthur will play! 😊”
“Alyssa took really great care of our two dogs in our house. We were out of town for the weekend. She is a great communicator, showed up exactly when she said she would and always left us feedback on the visit and photos. She is super fast responding to messages. Our dogs really love her and she took great care of them. My beagle has two medications he takes twice and day and I felt very confident leaving him in her care. She went above and beyond with our fur babies and we will definitely be booking her for the future. She is attentive and responsible. This is the first time we have used Rover and we feel lucky to have found Alyssa!”
“Tami was wonderful. My cats were very, very happy when I came home, which is that they means they were comfortable while I was away. Tami kept me up-to-date with photos and texts while I was gone. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Kam and her family took wonderful care of my cat Wally. Kam sent me photos every day to show how well my cat was doing. I wholeheartedly recommend Kam’s sitting services!”
About: I had 2 cats and a dog growing up! No pets currently but happy to play and take care of yours! Looking to earn extra to help pay for my wedding in 8 months! I work full time (35-40 hrs) and have alternating shifts every day (evening/morning) but have plenty of time for part time care! Weekends have more flexibility but I'm able to work around schedules! My parents who are retired are available for extra help if necessary and I will am willing to make accommodations as long as communicate clearly.
“Thank you so much, Leslie for all your help taking care of my cats. It was a peace of mind knowing you were there for them and thank you for the extras too. 5 stars and more! Very reliable, great communication and cares for animals!”
About: 20 years of personal experience caring for dogs and cats. 13 years of professional experience caring for dogs. Experienced in medical and behavior needs. Passion in caring for all animals. I'm currently working Full Time. I'd mainly like to do drop in visits or walking on Mondays. Could possibly arrange other days if needed for those services. Safety is a top priority of mine. I would prefer a consultation so I can assess your pets needs and behaviors prior to committing. Setting your pet up for success is key.
“Morgan was great! She met with us prior to our visit to meet Gracie. She was prompt in responding to our request and questions. She took great care of Gracie for her drop in visit. Thank you Morgan!”
About: I am a licensed substance abuse counselor in-training and I have taken care of animals of all kinds - dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, horses, chickens, parrots (parakeets, macaws, lovebirds), fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.! I have done pet sitting and dog walking on the side for many years. My mother is a veterinarian and has her own business as a veterinary behaviorist, so I have a lot of knowledge in animal care and behavior. Since I recently got a job, I am no longer available during the week, but I am still able to do drop-in visits and walks on Saturdays! (No later than 3pm) For drop-ins, I always make sure to take ample time to play with the animal and spend as much time with them as possible. Being the daughter of a veterinarian/veterinary behaviorist, I know all about body language and how to tell if your dog is scared or uncomfortable and how to handle it, as well as how to safely handle a situation where I am approached by an unfriendly dog while walking another dog.
