4. Aparna N.
About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.

“We hired Allyson to house sit and watch our 2 labs for 11 days. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous.

11. Kaycey H.

“This was the first time I was leaving my fur babies overnight with someone other than friends or family and Kaycey was amazing!

She was responsive, informative, and put me at ease. We will 100% use her again!!”

“Booking Nancy to watch our two greyhounds was the best decision ever made!!! She was very communicative and took great care of both of our girls. Our oldest is almost 12 and has some mobility difficulties, but Nancy made us feel right at ease that she was going to be well cared for. We loved getting a few updates a day on what our girls were up to and took all the stress away from our trip out of town.”
