Ashley offered to meet our pup ahead of time which was very appreciated. She was super at handling a nervous dog and was quick to update us during her visit. Couldn’t be more appreciative of her help and experience with pets!

About: Hi! I’m Kat! 🐾 I've spent much of my life around & caring for animals, I’ve assisted in volunteer work at a shelter working with animals of all type & size! I have experience with animals with: special needs, medical conditions & special diets. Pet care & well being is my priority, I want to ensure a happy and comfortable experience for you & your animal companion. I'm now exclusively working in animal care & services! My schedule for booking is updated regularly, if there is a date that is unavailable or booked out, please reach out. I may be able to open up my schedule for you! Health, safety and well being of an animal is a priority to me, in my personal life and in the experience I have caring for animals, it is not something I take a risk on and is my priority as a guardian and caretaker, I do not take any chances with possibilities of potential harm or safety of an animal. I also keep extra leashes & leads, cooling collars for warmer days, bowls, bathroom bags, and safety gear in my car + on me at all times during our bookings. I carry water with me on walks as well for our furry friend!

I am so thankful for Ally. She really gave me peace of mind helping me out with drop in visits. The pictures she sent were great and really showed that she interacts with the dogs. I got a feeling she was there to be their friend not just doing a job. I happened to see her on camera being very very sweet to them as well and I could tell my dogs were happy to have her as a new friend.

Danielle is a great sitter! Even though we organized our stay kind of last-minute, we were able to get in a meet and greet, and she instinctively knows all the right questions to ask to make sure your visit is worthwhile! She provided great updates and photos during the stay too, which is the most relieving part. Danielle was not only a great choice to check in on our cat Trebek, it is great to have someone check on the house while away. We hope to work with Danielle again and will definitely be going to her first for our needs!

Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!

Amanda was referred to me by a neighbor who spoke very highly of her. I was so worried about leaving my cats and felt so much relief after being given the referral, instead of using a neighbor to help me. She followed my directions and I never worried the entire time I was gone as I knew everything was being taken care of. My cats are very fearful of strangers in the house and I want them to get to know her so I can feel comfortable when I leave on trips and they no longer are afraid. I will continue to use her going forward. She sent pictures and it looked like they would make an appearance when she was here so hopefully, that will get better each time.

Second time booking Samantha, who was a referral from a coworker. I have two cats - one of them being medically complex and I feel relief knowing they are in her competent hands. I trust she has good judgement and cares for them. Last time I booked she allowed me to book an extra day last minute after I got stuck in a snowstorm. This time she turned on different lights and the tv for my cats to watch, which cracked me up but I thought was so kind and a cute idea. Thank you so much, Samantha!

Sabrina was so amazing! She made my cat Toby feel like he was on vacation while I was gone. She played with him, pet him, gave him treats and sent me updates all along the way. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and will absolutely repeat next time I have to leave my Toby for more than a day. Thanks, Sabrina :)
