“This is the second time Briana has looked after our cats and it’s such a relief to travel knowing our cats are in good hands. We’ve been very impressed by her professionalism and responsiveness.”
“Lori was very great to work with! During the initial meet she made sure to get all of my cat’s routines and emergency information. She was always on time and she always made sure to send me a lot of pictures and videos. After coming back from my work trip it was almost like my car didnt care I was gone -thats how good Lori took care! I will definitely reach out to Lori again in the future!”
“Sara cared for our two year old Maine Coon every day for over 2 weeks. She was so thoughtful and attentive and easily developed a special relationship with our cat, who has never been left alone before. The daily pictures and reports put our mind at ease. The Rover app was helpful when we were overseas. We could not have gone away without Sara!”
“Lianne took exceptional care of my two cats while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and well looked after. Her detailed report cards and frequent photo updates gave us so much peace of mind. Each message was thoughtful and showed just how attentive she is. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: When I was young I grew up with animals. Since then, I have spent a lot of time with my friends and neighbors dogs. For example, I walk my neighbor’s dog everyday (for no fee) as they are an older couple and Chloe waits for me every morning. They joke that she’s my dog. I have pet sat for my friends during their vacations, pregnancies, and chemo appointments. These dogs have a special trust with me so their owners always feel comfortable when they’re away. I usually send pictures etc to update how they’re doing. One special picture was of the dog lying on the baby blanket that the parents had sent from the hospital. The mother said she burst into tears of gratitude. I have a job where I’m actively at work only 3 days a week. I spend my off days outdoors hiking usually which makes dog sitting / walking perfect. When I stay in the clients home, I try to keep to the schedule that is already known to the animal. At my own home, I do have a fenced in area. There are neighborhood dogs that can come and play if the dog is sociable.
“Olivia took great care of our kitties!! They loved her and enjoyed all her visits. It was a big relief to know they were well loved while we were gone and we will definitely book with her again in the future!! Would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs:)”
About: I have had animals in my life all my life. I am comfortable working with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also worked with animals that have special needs, specifically related to senior care. I am capable of giving meds and shots to animals. I currently work part-time for myself so I'm able to schedule around your animal's needs. I am able to walk animals up to three times today. The most important thing for an animal is to feel safe while it's owners are away. I am here to follow any routines that your pet already has to maintain a sense of security and calm.
“Camilla went above and beyond to make sure my cats were happy and healthy while I was out of town. I felt confident leaving even though I wouldn’t have cell signal to get in touch. Thanks Camilla!”
“As always Emily did a great job with my cat. She has watched him several times now and always does a great job. It’s very comforting to know he is in good hands when I’m away!”
About: I was born into a pet household. It started with cats & at age 5 we got our first family dog! Now we have 5 cats and 5 small dogs. I also have cat sitted in the past, and have much experience taking care of and walking family friend’s dogs. I understand that pets are truly family members. I’m in between jobs right now and have free time during the day. My new job is set to start in the afternoon until the evening, and I would be working on alternating weekends. I would have a lot of time in the morning to check in and take your fur babies out on a walk! I don’t do boarding, as I understand it would stress out my pets and possibly yours. I take great measures to be safe with other peoples pets. I make sure to follow instructions throughly and to send plenty of pictures in order for pet parents to feel secure!
“I think Moonlight likes Leah better than us! He was immediately smitten. She took care of necessities like food and water exactly as needed. But she also made sure to play with this feisty feline so he didn't get bored. And the daily pictures were so much fun to see.”

Jaimie G.
“Jaimie is the dog whisperer! Our shy girl doesn’t want much to do with people but Jaimie’s patience won out. Within a couple of hours Dyna (our black lab) approached her and Jaimie let her sniff and take her time - didn’t force her or even reach out to pet her initially. Dyna was very comfortable with Jaimie from there on out and would happily approach for pets. Taking Dyna for walks, playing frisbee - Jaimie dotes on her. Jaimie has made repeated visits to our home and Dyna is very comfortable with her. I trust her 100% with my dog and she treats her as if she was her own!”

She will be a great addition to your staff!!”
