Abby is a lovely, caring person who is very detail oriented, sensible and possessing a good sense of humor. I know my furry family quite well and know they do much better if there is a casual meet and greet. Abby happily agreed to a meet and greet with my two boys and asked about tasks that I was forgetting to mention. My first trip was only a few days long but I was home only two days before having to leave again. Home from the art show trip my support cat-dog’s companion was no where to be found. After several hours I was getting concerned but Abby was as calm and assured me Mario had been eating and would come out when he was ready. Mario did just that, after being missing twenty hours; not something Mario has done in the past. Upon coming out from the cool basement he promptly tossed up a big fur-ball at my feet. Two days later I had to leave again. I had never done that to the boys before but Frito was satisfied seeing that I only took a small duffle bag with me. My best friend and next door used to watch them and both boys adored her and her crazy rescue mix. When she suddenly passed away I no longer had a familiar person to check in on them and care for them; they mourned her death for months. My leaving so quickly after a long working weekend, plus Mario’s previous disappearance, concerned me a bit. I had no reason to, Abby was patient with the hiding Mario and the spunky Frito. The second trip was brutal on me because of the long, slow, construction filled drive than it was on my boys. I knew they were in good hands but the rover app wouldn’t open for me. Abby rolled with the app issues and sent updates via text messaging. I have used Abby twice in a short period of time. Each time I ridiculously wondered if she had really been to my home (the check-ins obviously showed me she had) because every item from the kitchen towels, scrub brush and drain mat, mailbox key to the bowls and toys were in exactly the same places as when I left. I have used Abby twice with growing trust as she demonstrates calm in all situations, including me panicking over a not missing cat. Without any concerns, I already have Abby scheduled for October. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you Abby.

Deena did a really great job with my three older cats. She tried to make friends with my girl kitty, who wouldn't be nice, but she was able to instantly make friends with the other two. All the cats take medicine and it's a complicated chore. Deena asked lots of questions, and watched how I gave them their medicine and everything else. When I came home, my cats were happy and well cared for, exactly as I'd hoped! I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

She is amazing and made us feel happy. She perfectly handled our requests and sent us daily pictures of the cats, which reassured us. I definitely want to work with Shelby again next time. Thank you sincerely for your care, and I look forward to seeing you again.

About: I have been a pet lover, my whole life. Animals are drawn to me and I feel like I am able to understand what they need! I work from home so I am able to give lots of outside potty and exercise breaks. I am home most and I don’t go far from home for long on the weekends Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I currently have two well-loved dogs of my own and actively foster puppies and kittens for a local pet rescue, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s part of my everyday life. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. Whether your pup needs a midday walk while you’re at work or your cat needs consistent care while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I also have a dependable 15-year-old daughter who has grown up around animals and assists when appropriate — giving your pets even more attention and affection. What you can expect: • Reliable, on-time visits • Detailed updates and photos • Experience with puppies, kittens, and rescue animals • Comfortable administering basic medications • Calm, patient care for shy or senior pets Your pets will be treated like family — because that’s how I care for my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱

Kara cared for my cats for a few days and we came back to the cats healthy and happy. The scooper even broke on her and she went to the store and bought another one for us. Thanks for your excellent care!

Cheryl takes excellent care of my older kitty. Boo has been sick and needed medicine every day but that was no problem for Cheryl. Kitty was brushed, medicated and walked around outdoors every day! Great care!

Lily was great with my two cats. Willow and Thomas aren't very needy and just needed someone to stop over 1x per day to refill their water bowl, top off their food, and ensure they had a clean litter box for another night. Lily made sure to check in if she should or could come over a little earlier or later than her standard time and I always felt comfortable with my pets around her. Highly recommend for your pet watching needs!

Jeff did such a great job! He communicated very well and my dogs did great with him. He was extremely patient and gentle as my dogs are a bit high strung. My craziest dog was the first to warm up to him! I would definitely recommend him!

About: I’ve grown up with and spent many years living with pets of all kinds! I love animals and have done many overnight sits, walks and feedings for the pets of friends and family. I work part time and have an extremely flexible schedule. I do not have any children and I do have my own vehicle so it’s easy for me to schedule pet care on almost any day. I can feed, water, walk, crate and care for your animals based around whatever your normal day-to-day care system would be. I’m very adaptable and believe in keeping your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible.

About: I have been pet sitting for a very long time. I really love dogs! I don’t have a dog myself, so I’m excited to love on your dog! I do well with all age dogs. I do work full time during the day, but have evenings and weekends free. I am also able to leave work at lunch so I’d be able to do a midday walk or potty break for your pup! I have plenty of space in my home to accommodate your pet. No yard but going on walks is easily done, plus I live near many parks.

Kristina was an awesome kitty sitter for us. She let us know all the details of her visit and included photos every day to keep us informed about our fur baby. We were so happy with the service. I would highly recommend her and will ask her to sit for our precious baby again. Very pleased with Rover!!
