Yvette was responsive, dependable and a pleasure to work with. We recommend her wholeheartedly. Our dogs loved her and so did we. She was able to accommodate our specific schedule and was flexible when needed. We will definitely use her again.

Anyone would be lucky to have MaryAnn care for her animals. We were coworkers for many years at the humane society. She has extensive knowledge on both dog and cat behavior. We both went to dog behavior and training academy where we extended our knowledge of working with dogs. She is absolutely phenomenal when handling dogs and cats. She was our main evaluator with fractious cats and has cared for many of her own cats that have had special needs. She has watched my dog multiple times and cares for her just as I do. She will absolutely go above and beyond to make sure any pet has the best care while the owner is away.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We can't praise Mike enough for his incredible pet-sitting services! He has stayed over and also dropped in for visits. He has taken care of our three dogs and two cats flawlessly. Mike not only follows our instructions to the T, but also has a remarkable ability for understanding our pets' needs even without detailed guidance. It truly gives us peace of mind knowing our furry crew are in such capable hands. His warm and caring approach makes it clear that he genuinely loves animals, and our pets adore him! If you're looking for a reliable and skilled pet sitter, we highly recommend Mike. You won't regret it!

Megan had been such a help to our animals throughout the years. We have had to take trips on a moments notice and Megan had gone to great lengths to accommodate us. Our dogs love Megan’s calm demeanor and gentleness. Megan has an abiding respect for all creatures and they respond to her accordingly.

About: Hey! My name is Madison. I can't wait to meet you and your furry baby(s)! My whole life, I've had a passion for animals of all kinds! I've had 3 dogs in my lifetime, who each have impacted my life immensely. A Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix named Gidget is my current pup. I have a background in caring for dogs of all sizes. From Yorkie's to Rottweilers. I'm currently a full-time online student so my schedule is very flexible! I'm able to complete my assignments from anywhere in the world. I also work with dogs on a daily basis at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. Your pet is family, and I understand how stressful it is to leave them in another's care while you are away. To ensure proper care and safety of your pet I do need at least a day's notice before house-sitting to ensure I am able to get all of the necessary information needed to provide top-notch care for your loved one. In case of an emergency with your pet, I will reach out to you to determine the best game plan to ensure your pet gets the help they need. I have worked with many general clinics and emergency clinics in the area. If for any reason I'm unable to reach you while you are away, I will contact an emergency contact. In case of an extreme emergency, your pet will be taken to the emergency room right away.

5 stars are not enough. Liv is 6 stars ******. She became fast friends with Kiwi and Jeanneau, two hard to entertain and please cats. Kiwi usually takes a few weeks to acknowledge a new human friend. Liv had her attention and trust in a couple of days. This was a 10 day, 2x a day assignment with complex feeding and care instructions. All handled most excellently and cheerfully. Never a worry for me on vacation, I was able to relax knowing Liv was providing the utmost cat care.

Kaitlyn was such an amazing pet watcher!! she provided such safe and proper caring for my dog and cat. She was very through with following the instructions we provided for her and was very communicative. She was even willing to drive 45 to take my dog to a grooming. My pets were very sad to see her leave but will definitely hire her to care for them again! I definitely recommend kaitlyn to watch your pets!!

Rogue has cared for my 2 pet parrots for the past few years while my wife & I have taken vacations. He has been a reliable pet carer. He has been a very trustworthy provider that followed our exact instructions for our particular birds. For example, when our birds have to be put in their cages to sleep overnight, he followed our exact instructions on how to get each bird into their cages (since they each have different routines). Our birds warmed up to him very quickly because he's a very calming presence and enjoys caring for them. I'd highly recommend hiring him anytime!

Katherine would be an excellent candidate for a Rover Sitter. She’s an excellent fur baby mama to Athena 130 pounds of pure love. She sleeps in the bed with her every night. She shares the couch with her every day. Athena gets more space in the bed than Katherine does. She’s an animal of her through and through and would love to have more fur babies in the house for her to play with the kids to play with and Athena to play with.

Kellie is great. We were nervous to leave our anxious yorkiepoo for the weekend, but Kellie was very understanding and patient with her. She provided a handful of photos each drop-in visit and very thorough summaries. She was also flexible with us requesting additional visits only a few days in advance. We would absolutely book Kellie again!!!

Gabriella has been a friend and helper with my dog (a 110 lb. German Shepard Dog) and has always been nurturing and responsible with her. She is also a very loving pet owner with both a dog and cat that she love more than anything else in her life. I'm confident that you will find no better dog sitter or walker anywhere!
