First time using Rover, so we were quite nervous. But we really lucked out! We love Kayley!!! She is indeed a fairy dogmother! We will definitely love to have her come again. Sailor fell in love, and she was definitely in good hands with Kayley. ❤️

Erian watched our two yorkies while we were on vacation. She arrived on time for every walk, sent videos and pictures, and let us know how the pups were doing. She also made sure to refresh their food and water and played with them. Erian is extremely trustworthy, responsible, and kind. We will recommend her to all our friends and family, and already plan on hiring her for our next vacation! Excellent job, Erian!

Micah is a great candidate for this position! She is very patient and kind and animals flock to her energetic spirit! She takes very good care of her own pet and provides the safest, most nourishing environment for her dog. I think she would not only be the best person for this, but also have loads of fun and build everlasting relationships with the pets and their owners!

From the initial meet and greet, to the first walk, Petroula show so much attention to detail. She is extremely thorough in determining the specific needs of not only our pups, but even ours as the owners. We loved the reports and pictures we’d receive after each of their outings and could not have been any happier than we were. We highly recommend Petroula!

Olivia was FANTASTIC! I received a daily update and photos! My cat, Lumen, clearly liked Olivia as well (depicted by photos), and she’s very shy. I give Olivia the highest of recommendations and will definitely call Olivia in the future. ?

About: I've taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. Throughout my childhood, my family had several cats and 3 dogs. I have experience with animals of all ages, from kitten/puppy to senior pets. I currently have 2 cats of my own, but I'm more than capable of caring for dogs as well (of all sizes/breeds). Most of my friends have dogs and I always look forward to seeing them and playing with them when I get the chance. I would love a dog of my own, but being a renter and moving around a lot I can't take on an additional pet at the moment. Even though I'm a cat household, all animals are welcome and will be treated like one of the family. I work full time from home so I'm always around to look after your fur babies. I can take frequent breaks during the work day to check in on them whether it be to feed them, play for a bit, or take care of bathroom breaks. During non-working hours, they will have my full attention. When your pet is in my care, my goal is to love them and care for them like they're one of my own. I want to adapt to your pet's needs whether that means a lot of play time, walks, or just some quality couch time. If your pet has any special needs or takes medication, I can accommodate and take care of them as needed. I'll provide as much interaction as possible and keep them safe and cared for (whether that's in your home or mine). I have a small, fenced in yard big enough for dogs to run around or play a game of fetch.

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!

Katelyn was just awesome! She went above and beyond in every way. In addition to caring for our 3 cats, she scooped liter, fed fish, and even watered our plants. It made our vacation stress free knowing everything at home was taken care of. She was very responsive to text messages and provided a detailed updates of what was taken care of. I would highly recommend Katelyn for your pet sitting needs!
