Emily was great! This was the first time I booked with her, and will definitely use her again in the future. She was very responsive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was there with my fur babes.

I have also fostered animals, many of times till they found a right home. I believe animals are to be trusted more than humans. I'm free most of the time to watch your babies, I'm pretty flexible on times and schedules, I work from home but Ill always have time for your babies I am able to come to your house and watch your lovely babies, I had plenty of my own that I have trained and loved.

Trista was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends (and other critters). She was communicative, flexible, and punctual throughout the entire process. We will definitely be reaching out to her to book again.

About: I've always loved animals but didn't have the space to care for one of my own, until recently, so my interactions have mostly been through other's animals. In high school I was an animal science major and volunteered at doggy daycares. Then in college I studied basic canine care and training where I got experience in training different dogs. Now I have my own puppies, 2 2 year olds and a 1 year old, so more experience everyday! Currently in between employments and looking for something to keep me occupied that would benefit others as well. So available anytime that would be convenient for you! I have decent space for my pups and have my own precautions. I will prioritize the safety and wellbeing of your fur baby as if they're my own, so I assure you that I will follow any and all instructions given to me by you.

l was at first very nervous about hiring a cat sitter for my two cats that I had not met before I was leaving for vacation. But Tyler came to my house the day I was leaving to meet me and my two cats. He was very friendly, paid close attention to the directions I was giving and seemed very interested in doing a good job for my guys. And he did. I was very pleased with the care he gave my pets and will hire him again that's for sure

About: I grew up on a farm in Reseda, CA with as many as 9 dogs at 1 time and also goats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters. I had 3 dogs as an adult but they have all since passed away at the ages of 16, 16 and 17 so yes I take very good of my animals. I currently have 2 cats, Sydnee and Maycee who are 1.5. I hope to get another dog someday but until then, I hope to take care of and love your dogs like they are my own. I have a flexible schedule and I am available during the day for walks/feeding and or evenings/weekends for vacation pet sitting on pretty short notice. I can provide loving care of your fur babies in your home and treat them like my own. You can always trust that they are in good hands.

About: I have been taking care of animals since childhood and would often pet sit for family members, some of which were entire farms for a week at a time. Neighbors and family members have relied on me for daily care of their dogs and cats with care tasks including feeding, walking and sometimes bathing. I am currently in nursing school and I have a very flexible schedule during the week (except Mondays, Tuesdays) and on weekends. I currently have an almost 5 years old Australian cattle dog (very friendly w/ other dogs) and also live on a hobby farm. You will see my reviews are from Canada, where I lived for 6 years, but moved back home in the last couple of years and wanted to start my account up again :) I have a large property for walks and playtime without having to drive to a trail. I am also able to crate your dog if that is needed. I am available for frequent potty breaks (every 0-2 hours).

About: I am genuine 'Cat Person'. I have always adored kitties, and they can recognize it too. (As every cat person knows) I have had probably 30 cats (more if I count litters of kittens, of which I frequently kept 1) over my lifetime, usually at least 2 or 3 at the same time, and up to as many as 6. But since my last best friend passed away several years ago, where I've lived since wasn't safe for kitties for one reason or another, so I haven't been able to have any for far too long. And I miss them more than words can say. So, I'm looking to meet some new feline friends to give my attention and affection to here on Rover! And I will love your kitties too, and give them the same loving kindness, attention and tender care ~ and be a new playmate for them if they want to ~ just as if they were my very own. I just really love cats, every one of them I've ever met. I look forward to meeting yours too! ❤️ Since I've retired, other than watching my precious grand daughter for her mommy and daddy, my time is really all my own. So spending as much time as they need me too with your beloved kitties will never be an issue. Everything that cats require for their care and attention, cleaning liter boxes as well as food and water bowls as needed. Brushing their fur (but only if they want me to of course), lots of petting and giving them all the attention and affection they could possibly want. Which I'll love doing too!

About: Experienced Dog mom. Dog is God spelled backwards. Which is probably why I love dogs more than I do people. It’s been this way since I was a kid. A dog love and bond is just different. I have a 3 year old daughter who love Dogs as much as I do. She wants to pet every dog she sees. Dogs must be friendly with children, or I cannot be of service. Self employed so I’m home most of time. Free to be a companion to a lovable fur friend. While pet parents work or go on vacation I have a back porch deck with yard space. I am also close to a park where we can go play and let out some energy

Did a great job with drop-ins for our three cats over Christmas! Our senior cat gets daily medication and our other two have their own quirks. I was confident they were safe and being cared for with great communication and pictures.
