“Such an amazing cat sitter. I never had to worry about my kitty while on vacation, Tara took such good care of her and sent many pics! Very good communication!!”


“My family and I rented a house in the mountains and wanted to all go out for dinner but needed somebody to come in for a couple of hours and sit with our dog. Found Rachel she was a godsend! The whole transaction through Rover was fabulous. She was punctual, caring, loving, and above all actually brought homemade sourdough bread for us! I cannot recommend her enough. Thanks again, Rachel!”


“Corley enjoyed the visits”

Animals truly feel like mini best friends to me, and I treat them with the care and companionship they deserve.

“Teagan is great! So nice and helpful and we felt at ease while we were gone. Teagan sent us tons of pictures and played with the kitties a lot. We even have a grumpy cat who can sometimes be a little naughty, he rarely makes himself known to strangers, and he even loved Teagan. We will definitely be booking with Teagan next time we need to leave town. Thank you, Teagan! ?”

“We rarely need a petsitter, but we did recently and I could not have been happier with Stacy. The most important thing, though, is that our dog loved her. Our goldendoodle is often a little slow to warm to people she doesn't know, but she loved Stacy right from the greet and meet! Stacy shows up when she says she will and she sends photos. She obviously loves animals and is trustworthy.”

I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and sizes, and I prioritize a safe, nurturing environment. I've also volunteered at animal shelters and helped neighbors with pet care while they were away.

I follow their routine, give plenty of attention, and make sure they’re getting whatever care or exercise they may need.

“Riley was amazing! She took such good care of our cats and made sure our older cat got her medicine on time each day. The cats were happy and calm when we returned home and we can’t thank Riley enough for giving us peace of mind while we were away. Will definitely book again.”


“Crisol was great! Our dogs enjoyed having her check in on them. She was very communicative. We will absolutely use her again!”



“Sarah was great with my pup. She came and let him out twice while we were visiting a ski resort as we were in the area on vacation. She took him on walks, played with him and spent time with him while we were away and sent pictures as well. It was nice to know he was being cared for while we were gone for the day. I would recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!”


“Savanna did a wonderful job taking care of our cat for two weeks. We really appreciated the photos and updates. Our apartment was tidy and our cat was happy and healthy when we returned. We would definitely rebook with Savanna and recommend her to friends and family.”


“Kasey was great! Trustworthy and reliable. She showed up on time for our meet and greet and was friendly and professional. She did drop in visits for my cat for a week and when I came home the litter box was clean and my cat was happy. Highly recommend Kasey!”



“Daniel was fantastic when I needed help with my girls!! He sent me regular pictures of them, and I knew they were well taken care of! It was so heartening to know that I dogs were well cared for while I was working. I highly highly recommend Daniel if you ever need assistance with your animals!”


“We needed Colin to come to our home in Boone to let our dogs (a golden retriever and sheepadoodle) out and spend some time with them while we were at an App football game. He came the day before to meet them. He lit up the minute he walked into the door engaging with Ginny and Otis. Hugging and giving them scratches. He was so personable interacting with me while I explained what he would do. He sent pictures and was just so kind. I will definitely use Colin again! Such a nice guy!”

Dylan R.
“Dylan adopted Link, a Husky in 2012 and cared for and walked him for 12 years. He was reliable to walk him daily even while in college. Link was a hard dog to walk especially when he saw an animal on their walks. He wanted to meet them and would try to bolt. His ability to handle a strong puller like Link and patience was A one.”

Caroline was great and saved the day by taking a last minute Friday night booking when I had an emergency out of town. Super kind and communicative. Thanks for your help and you rock!

Heather did the best job with my cat that has special needs. Would highly recommend to anyone. I received constant pictures and updates, and she spent good quality time with him and not just the bare minimum. Will for sure use again in the future.

Ella always replies quickly and was able to squeeze me in at the last minute! She put effort into getting to know my dog and how she can best care for her! Thank you!

Skylar took excellent care of my cat. She was understanding and flexible with me booking last minute. She stayed up to date with me on how my pet was doing. My cat was very happy when I came back.
