Joe and I were truly blessed to have you watch our girls, especially Coco. We are excited to finally move to our permanent home, but I know our 3 fur babies (and us) are going to miss you! I 100% recommend you to anyone!! I know you love animals and anyone who hires you, they can put their mind at ease with you watching their fur babies. If you need someone to answer any questions, we would be more than happy to help. THANK YOU! YOU’RE ONE OF THE BEST!!

This was my first time using Rover, and Blythe exceeded all expectations! I was already out of town when my friend got sick and couldn't drop-in on Lizard, so I was scrambling to find someone to come by twice a day for 3 days in a row. Blythe responded to the request quickly, took excellent care of Lizard, and sent photos from every visit. I will definitely be using Blythe again anytime I need someone to drop-in when I'm out of town!

It was my first time using Rover and Aubrey made it a breeze. I felt very comfortable meeting her and she made it a point to stop by even on super short notice to meet me before the days she would be visiting my cats. It became apparent to me quite quickly that she’s really good with animals and she’s very attentive to individual routines - pictures and updates were great! My kitties loved the weekend with Aubrey and greeted me with renewed attention and excitement when I returned home. When I came home everything was in order and I felt very relaxed (which isn’t always the case). Thank you Aubrey and I’ll definitely be keeping you in my saved sitter list!

Katherine was completely reliable and sweet with our dog! It was our first time leaving her with a sitter and she eased all our concerns. She had all her bathroom breaks, playtime with her favorite toys and plenty of snuggles. We definitely will use Katherine again for any future trips!

Gabby has been great for drop in visits/walks for our high energy pup! She has been flexible and responsive when I have needed to make changes to scheduling. Gabby asked thorough questions during our first meeting and has given our guy the attention he needs! We will continue using Gabby for weekly visits.

Casie was fantastic! We were looking for a new sitter for our cats and Casie came highly recommended on Rover and I see why! She was a great communicator with quick responses, wrote detailed daily summaries, and took the BEST pictures of our cats. We’re excited to have Casie back over the holidays. Thank you again!

My Cavachon, Mila absolutely adores Erian! She loves walking with her as well as playtime. Erian is reliable and responsible. Every time she watches Mila, we know she’s well taken care of. Erian is kind and patient, which I know Mila and is really appreciate. When Erian is pet sitting we can rest assured knowing Mila is being well taken care of! We highly recommend her.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all of my life and have also been trained how to handle big dogs with high prey drives. I’m patient and loving to all critters and enjoy making pet-owners feel reassured about their beloved fur family. I also have experience with horses and managing multiple animals. I’m respectful of your home and privacy. I also love getting clear communication about your pets’s needs, preferences and quirks. I want to ensure your comfort and theirs. I’m a pet owner myself and am currently taking care of a beloved senior dog who is my best friend and a mischievous and hilarious cat. I understand how important it is to be careful and precise with pets who have various medical and health needs. I’m currently working during the day remotely and cannot do mid-day visits on MWF. I have availability in the mornings, weekends, and some evenings. I’ll have more flexibility starting January. I will make sure your pet and your home is secure, safe, and comfortable. I’m also happy to water plants or do other light tasks if needed. (i.e. turning lights on/off picking up mail etc…)
