“Karissa took care of our kitties for over a week while we were on vacation, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Very professional, caring, and sent us pics/ videos of the cats daily so we can see how they were doing while we were away. Overall great experience :)”
“Yvette is the best dog sitter around. She takes wonderful care of my elder dog and refreshingly considerate of my home space. Harley (my fur baby) always enjoys her visits. Id give 10 stars if i could. Wouldn't dare to use another sitter.”
“Carol was excellent. She responded to my initial request promptly and confirmed the visit one day in advance. She arrived an 1/2hr earlier than scheduled. My dogs took an immediate liking to her. She took plenty of pics and kept me posted throughout the visit. I also want to mention how patient she was with my special need fur-baby Duke. Her patience, attention to detail and persistence is what Duke needed for his “special issue”. Thank you Carol. I will definitely rebook future visits with her.”
“Megan was a great sitter. She took wonderful care of my cat. 🐈 she was always there when she was supposed to be and always sent plenty of pictures and videos. I could tell my cat was happy and being loved. 🥰 I will definitely be using Megan as my go to person and I will definitely recommend her.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”
“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!!!”
“Adriane did so well with my Zelda and went above and beyond with the care ! Taking photos, giving updates and overall enjoying time with Zelda. I am grateful for her help and kindness to my dog!”
“Janine was absolutely professional and efficient during her 8 days of care of my cat. She fed, played, and cleaned up after Graceson. I would recommend Janine in a heartbeat and will look to rebook if I need any future drop-ins!”
“My hero!!! She went for our aid when my husband and I were stuck far from home, and she was ready to help and take care of the boys. Amazing, reliable and sweet. TYSM Shelly!”
“Jennifer is very professional, caring and responsible. She recently watched our dog for four days and did an excellent job making sure he was fed and got plenty of love. She also sent lots of pictures and updates which were nice:)”
“Shane and the M2M academy far exceeded my expectations being a first time Rover client. They were patient, answered all my questions and provided unbelievable care to my guy Hendrix. Shared pictures and videos daily. Brought in my mail. From top to bottom, the nicest people you could work with AND actual care and concern for my little guy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
“Alyssa took care of Chip as if it waa her own dog. My dog was instantly attached to her. She has a fun personality that your pet will love! Will definitely call her again!”
“Ana took great care of my two cats, taking the time to love on them and play with them even though I told her those were optional for the relatively short time she was visiting them.”
“Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)”
About: I have had a dog for ten years and I am very familiar with dog body language and signals. I have taken care of dogs in Egypt and fed strays. I am a college student from Monday to-Thurs, so I have all the time on the weekend for pet care. During the weekdays I am free almost always after 4pm, except for thursdays. I can crate dogs if needed. For walks I will keep them on leash away from other dogs, unless given permission from you and other dog owner.
“Lizbeth was great with my boy while I was gone! She was super accommodating with both of our schedules and I was able to book with her within short notice as well. She gave updates and was very responsive if I had any questions or other requests! Milo had a buddy for the weekend while I was gone, and I’d definitely book with her again! Thanks Lizbeth 😽🐾”
“Eleanor went completely above and beyond to take care of my cats! One of my cats is a too smart for his own good, and he ended up getting into a specific cabinet for the first time and eating a whole bag of treats. Eleanor found a way to keep him out of that cabinet, and she also spent extra time with him to make sure he wasn't having any digestive problems. She's also super knowledgeable about cats and was so communicative with me the whole time I was gone!”
