“Debbie was a thoughtful and caring sitter for our two cats. Was so great to not have to worry about them at all while we were out of town with Debbie checking in! Highly recommend her if you need a reliable and considerate person to watch over your pets!”
6. Valerie W.
“Valerie was amazing, and was so caring and detailed with our two kitty boys. We’ve been so worried about not being able to leave them due to medication schedules, but Valerie was reliable and consistent with medication administration and gave them much needed love and attention while we were gone!”
7. Joann F.
“Joann was so great! She shows up on time, is a great communicator, and my kitties warmed up to her immediately. I have an older cat who is a picky eater and needs a pill twice a day, and she was sweet and patient with him when he refused to eat/take pill. I highly recommend scheduling with Joann!!”
8. Marlee S.
“We are newbies to Rover and Marler did not disappoint. Our kitty 'Dite is not much of a people kitty but Markee did a great job with taking care of 'Dite.'Marlee actually got'Dite to interact with her. So it's a paws up to Marlee!”
9. Anna M.
“Anna is awesome!! She took the time during every single visit to get my cats to warm up to her. One cat excepted her by the end of the first visit. The other cat took until nearly the last day before accepting Anna's attention. I highly recommend Anna. We will be using her wonderful services every time we go out of town.”
10. Jeffrey S.
“Jeffrey is the best! Love the report cards and attention to detail :) I always feel my pets are safe in his care - would highly recommend to others.”
11. Eva P.
“Eva was so good with my cats! She was even able to get my shy/scared kitty to come out every day! She’s never done that for anyone else. I could see in the pictures that my cats were very comfortable with her which gave me peace of mind. I will definitely be using her again!”
12. Michael M.
“Thanks to Michael my cat was well fed and his litter box was cleaned daily during time away from home. I'm am planning another trip next month and will be booking Michael to care for my cat again,”
13. Hannah B.
“I really appreciate Hannah! I needed to hire someone last minute for my 5 furbabies, and she was more than willing. I asked if she wouldn't mind if I reached out for additional days toward the end of my trip away, and though I ended up not needing to do so, she was willing to do that as well. Additionally, my senior rottweiler mix likes to "give attitude," which can be scary if you aren't familiar with it, and Hannah handled that beautifully. She was communicative when it happened, which allowed me to message her to share what to do about it (which was to let the dog throw her fit and leave her be). I'd hire her again in a heartbeat, and probably will when I take trips in the future!”
14. Jill M.
“Jill is fantastic and goes above and beyond when doing a drop-in visit! She made sure everything was clean and that everybody was comfortable before she left. ???”
15. Delaney O.
“Delaney took great care of my cats. He made sure they had food, water, and a clean litter box. He was conscientious and concerned about our shy cat who doesn’t make appearances for visitors. We had peace of mind knowing our pets were cared for while we were on vacation. I’d highly recommend him for pet sitting services and would rebook.”
16. Kennadi M.
About: I have watched over dogs for the past few years for friends and family as well as my own pup who is 5 years old! I am currently searching for work in the Merriam area and looking for extra income. I work from home a few days a week and I am available most weekends. I treat animals like my own. I like to make sure they get enough water and exercise just as I would do for my own dog.
17. Brittany O.
“Brittany was on time and sent lots of pics from her drop in! Thank you!”
18. Lisa D.
“Lisa is an awesome find as a Rover! Our Rory loved her visit!”
19. Hampton S.
“I have seen Hampton work with dogs for decades. He is reliable, capable, and confident. Genuinely, there is nobody else who I would rather have watch my dog.”
20. Kelsi W.
“She was great with my dogs. Always playing with them and making sure they were taken care of. She made sure the dogs were taken outside for bathroom. 100% will call her again!”
