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!

Danielle is a GEM. Left my two cats with her for my honeymoon and got detailed updates, and came home to full clean water bowls and happy brushed cats. Plus, she graciously fielded key troubles on my part. She will be our go-to!!! Can’t recommend her enough!

Ashley has come over multiple times for our two dogs - she is amazing with communication and our dogs love her. We have two pit mixes (one is very hyper and the other is a lazy girl) and Ashley has done a wonderful job managing them both. We are happy we found someone we trust for drop in’s ☺️

David was a pleasure to interact with and very caring and attentive toward our little kitties. One of our cats is especially skittish and usually hides when new people come over which he did at first, but in the end David prevailed in extracting our kitties better nature. Would recommend and commission again!

About: I had a pet dog Lucy since I was in 2nd grade. I would feed her, walked her, let her outside to play in the backyard, and made sure she had plenty of water. I cared for her. I'm in-between jobs right now so if you need help when you are on vacation, work late, or any other reason then let me know and I will help take care of your dog. I would care for them like they are my own. I will follow a schedule if you have one. I willing to communicate with you if you have concerns about your dog or anything else that matter.

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!

Stephanie was FANTASTIC. We weren’t sure what to expect from River but needed to turn to it in a bind, and we couldn’t be more impressed with Stephanie. She was extremely responsive and thoughtful - going out of her way to make us feel at ease and put our cat’s needs first. We got great pictures from each visit! Also, she messaged us that it was raining and brought in our packages (even checking to make sure they weren’t wet). Couldn’t be more grateful. 1000% recommend booking with Stephanie.

Our cats had a wonderful experience with Renee while we were away for about a week. They warmed up to her surprisingly quickly and even played with her. She was attentive to each cat’s individual needs and quirks and clearly took the time to get to know all their personalities. I genuinely looked forward to her daily updates. Her notes were funny and spot-on, especially the little oddities and questionable choices our knuckleheads make, and the photos were a highlight. We came home to happy, relaxed cats who were clearly well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Renee again and highly recommend her.

Cara was awesome with coming over to first meet my dogs and making sure they were a good fit, especially since I have a dog with special needs. Both of my dogs loved her! She is very friendly, quick to respond and answered all of my questions. I got lots of pictures after their first check-in which I appreciate. I had happy dogs when I got home and it was very nice not having to worry about them while I wasn't home. I will definitely book with Cara again!

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 :)
