“Lisa took excellent care of my cat Riley while I was out of town. She gave great updates at every visit and I could tell how relaxed and happy Riley was when I got home. I will definitely book with Lisa again!”
“Autumn took such good care of our cat while we were away on vacation! Having her visit and check on our cat gave us such peace of mind while we were out of town. Highly recommend Autumn to care for your cat!”
About: I am an experienced and passionate pet care taker and nutritionist junkie. I have 1 doggie rescue named Topsy Toppington. I also have a sweet girl named Lavender Jones, who happened to come into our lives unexpected. I am currently work from home with 2 children in school. I always love finding the time to get them involved with animal Care and teaching them about compassion to others. If you need help in with training or working on behavioral problems; I'm your gal. Patience and rewarding good behavior has always been my motto. My previous experience working in a boarding and daycare facility has kept me on my toes. Over seeing and distributing a diabetic animals medication to acclimating the timid ones into large groups. The nitty gritty work is always the most rewarding. I would love to be apart of your fur babies routine!
“Jeff was a great fit for our active indoor cat, Georgie, who has special feeding needs due to not having many teeth left. Jeff was diligent about his visit times and spent some quality time with our guy for the week we were away. The rover card photos were awesome and we appreciated the updates along the way. Thank you, Jeff!”
About: I’ve had animals all my life. It’s always been a dream of mine to work with animals outside of my own! I love all furry little creatures I do it everyday with my own 3 cats! I have to brush my cat magik everyday. I obviously feed them I do twice a day I make sure they have clean water and litter every day! I like to make sure they have all their needs before I go anywhere. I always check and make sure they are always healthy and can’t get into anything that could harm them
“Regan was great as always and the cats were well looked after! It’s such. Relief to know someone is keeping an eye on them while we’re gone. They seem to love having her over as well!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for my friends, family, and neighbors for over three years! I have experience with senior dogs, rescue dogs getting used to a new environment, and pups who have attachment anxiety to their owners. I also have experience giving medications for both cats and dogs. I am a firm believer in great communication, and always make sure to send plenty of pics of your furry friends if you request them. Your feline and canine companions are part of your family, so rest assured, I’ll treat them that way. My availability for pet care is mainly on nights and weekends, so I’ll be available to look after your furry friend if you’re headed away on a weekend trip or just out for the night. When it comes to watching pets, I believe that keeping them in a comfortable environment is key. While I’m looking after your dog, I’m more than happy to take them on walks, play in the backyard, or have a snuggle session. Rest assured, I will provide the best care possible for your pet, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy until you get home!
“My cat was so calm when I came back from my trip. That tells me in her two 1-hour visits Alex gave him the TLC and attention he needed while I was away. She sent pictures and updates to me while she visited which was very nice. Highly recommend!”
“Sara was great with our cats and was on time for all meet and greets and visits. She communicated with us when things came up, and even did an emergency extra visit (we did pay her!!) when our cats knocked over their automatic feeder.”
“This is the first time we have used Josie and Clint. I have nothing but good things to say. Our frenchie, Virgil, usually does not eat full meals, or eat at all, the first day we are away. He ate every meal from the first to the last, meaning he felt very comfortable with them. I would definitely have them again!”
“Sophia was really great with our cat. She took good care of him and our house while we were not there. She went over and above and vacuumed the home a few times even without us asking her, and helped us out in an urgency as well.”
“Natalie was great! She looked after our cat while we were away and we would definitely ask her to do so again. We had her come by every couple days to make sure our cat was getting fed, drinking water, using the box, etc. Natalie always arrived when expected, sent us a bunch of photos, and gave us detailed notes on how our cat was doing. This was our first time using Rover, and Natalie made it a great experience.”
“Nicole was great! I was in a different time zone and she made communication a breeze. She sent tons of photos and updates and it put my nerves at ease being so far away. I would love to use her again in the future!”
