“Breanne is excellent in looking after your pets! She is very prompt and thorough. I would not use anyone else. Our doggo loved being able to get out and walk with her! The best part is her flexibility for scheduling. We enjoyed getting the pictures of all our fur babies while being away. She is also great at communication and expectations both of her and the pet owners.”

“Autumn was great while watching our two cats. She did all her check ins on time and sent us the best pictures and updates every time. Would highly recommend☺️”

“This was our first time using Rover. Even though Evie had a family emergency, she still went over and took care of our cat. We appreciate her dedication! We will use her again when we travel.”

“I’ve been relying on Megan for at least a year now and she’s been absolutely great. One of our dogs struggles with overnight boarding, and Megan has been a game changer for us. We’ve never had any issues with her and she’s been available pretty much anytime I ask her. Would highly recommend her to anyone interested in rover!”

“Vivien was wonderful! She went above and beyond, keeping me calm while leaving my precious kittums alone for the first time. She even brought in my verrrry expensive prescription medication which was delivered early! Thank you so much Vivien! I will absolutely be booking you again for any future pet care needs ❤️ 🐈 😻”

About: While I specialize in cat sitting and absolutely adore caring for feline companions, I'm also happy to help with dog sitting for friendly, well-trained pups. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. I am also well versed in the care of our smaller companions such as birds, reptiles, rodents, ferrets and rabbits to name a few. I'm happy to work around your pet's unique needs whether it's regular visits or last-minute plans, although it would also need to work with my work schedule. Your pet's comfort and routine always come first so I'm sure we can work something out. I do require an in-person meet and greet before confirming any new booking. This helps ensure your pet feels comfortable and we're a great fit! As a proud cat mom, I care for my cats with a lot of love, patience, and attention to detail. Each of them has their own personality and needs, so I make sure their routines are consistent, their environment feels safe, and they get both playtime and quiet comfort. From feeding and litter box cleaning to brushing and cozy cuddle time, I treat them like family because to me, they are.
“Rachel is fantastic! She is loving to our elderly dog Zoey. She puts us at ease while we are gone by taking many pictures at each visit and giving detailed descriptions of her visits.”

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have extensive experience with both dogs and cats. I currently have three cats and a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets while you're away. I'm experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their normal routine. I especially enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, or providing extra attention and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they're receiving the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I'm available during regular daytime hours for walks and drop-in visits, as well as Monday and Tuesday evenings and all day Sundays. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I'm committed to showing up on time and following your pet's normal routine. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, exercise, feeding, medication, or some extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to help. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety, reliability, and following your instructions exactly. I'll make sure your pets have fresh water, are fed according to their schedule, receive any needed medications, and get plenty of attention and exercise. I'll respect your home, secure doors and gates, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and well cared for while you're away.
“Stephanie was beyond amazing -- every day she was on-time or early, spent tons of time loving my kitties, and went out of her way to clean even when not asked to so that when we came home from a long trip, it wouldn't be stressful. Will be rebooking with her asap, she made traveling so easy for us.”

“Celene was an absolute life saver. My dog sitter cancelled a few days before my vacation and I was very worried about not just finding someone, but someone that my dogs would enjoy being with. As soon as I met her and my dogs welcomed her I could tell they were in good hands. She was very informative with her 3 visits a day and sent pictures as well as updated if something seemed off with them or if they were extra happy to see her. I truly appreciate her more than words can explain and I’m so deeply grateful that my fur babies were well taken care of and appreciated. Thank you again Celene.”

“Hannah was wonderful with our kitty while we were away, Thomas really enjoyed her company which isn't always a given, and I appreciated the extra care when a painting fell and by taking care of our fish tanks too! Top notch sitter and will absolutely book again in the future.”
