Jessica did a great job caring for our two cats! I was so grateful that she was able to help out on short notice. She sent pics everyday and our cats seemed happy when we got home. We highly recommend Jessica!

Jessica was so accommodating. I had a cancelation at the last minute and she stepped in and even took care of my dog without a meet and greet. My dog does not like people coming into the house he does not know. Jessica was aware of this and was willing to still come. She did great because she was able to get my dog to trust her and she took him on his walk for me. I will be using her again this week. She if very professional. You will not be disappointed if you choose her as your next pup care provider.

Lisa was a terrific visitor to my cat Sky while I was away for a long weekend. She took the trouble to meet me in person before I went away and she was very kind and courteous. Lisa visited around the same time every day and it was nice to be able to depend on her check ins. Would not hesitate to book with Lisa again — thank you!

She is so nice and friendly. She agreed to a meet and greet prior to actual day of drop in and that made me feel secured and safe. She got along with both my dogs. She took care of them really well. I would def use her again if I need a dog sitter.

Celeste took care of my cat for me when I was away for a week and I came back to find my cat happier than she was when I got home from other trips. Celeste spent time playing with our cat and making sure she felt loved while we were away! I would definitely recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

When I met Ally I had a fat orange kitty, she quickly found herself in love with her. Since then she has fostered and adopted two kitties herself. She loves to play with both of them, play, give them attention, and try to make them do tricks. She makes sure she is doing everything to give them a wonderful home and it shows. They’ve grown so much under her care and love.

Shea watched my dog Beau last summer. She was always good about getting him outside and exercised. She even knew he didn’t care for other dogs so she paid close attention to keeping his distance.

Whitney is simply great. Funny, trustworthy, flexible, empathetic, caring, and warm. She’s undoubtedly our pet’s favorite. Any time we mention her name our dog runs to the door in anticipation - no joke. I can’t recommend her enough.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and know what they need to be happy and safe when being cared for. Making sure they are fed, walked, and given all the pets are priorities! I work remotely Monday - Friday, 8-5pm and can do that from your home. If you are looking for someone to be with your dog for a good amount of time throughout the day, I’ll gladly do so since my schedule allows the flexibility. Also available to do overnights if you’re planning to be away for a while. I am only available to watch your pet in your home. I make sure your pet is fed, has water available, get outside time and playtime to feel good while you’re away.

Becca did a great job taking care of our 3 dogs. All 3 are bigger (50-75 pounds) and require medication. We were nervous about using rover for the first time but Becca kept us informed and we were confident they were well taken care of while we were away. Highly recommend Becca!
