This was our first time hiring an outside sitter and Francesca was such a blessing for us to find! Our normal coverage plans change and we were last minute searching for someone to look in on our two younger Maine-Coons, while we were going to be out of town for a holiday week trip. Francesca was pleasantly friendly, easy to communicate with and our large kittens loved her! (The treats she brought didn't hurt the interaction either 😊) It was a great first time experience on Rover and now we know who we will be contacting first the next time!

About: I’ve always grown up around pets whether they were my families, my own, and all the family friends. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Not saying I’m a professional trainer but I have taught my cat a trick or two:) if you have any specific questions about the care I have done I would love to answer EVERYTHING:) I work as a coach and recruiter so in-between office hours and practices I go home and make sure I give my cat all the love’ns and clean up his litter-box and take him on occasional walk on his harness. Make sure their water is fresh, make sure their feeding schedule is up to date, no messes in the house, hang out with cuddles and enrichment time, and make sure they feel loved:)

Shadia maintained timely communication with us which took away a lot of the anxiety of leaving our pets for a week. He took our dog out for a walk twice a day even though that was not a part of our request and provided additional help when we needed it. He also offered to help with other tasks even though we did not ask for it. I am happy we got we got the opportunity to work together and I would gladly work with him again.

About: My husband and I have been dog owners our entire lives. We currently have a full size poodle, who is very friendly with dogs and humans. We have the availability and set up to care for your dog! I am a teacher on summer break and have open availability to care for your dog. Currently, our poodle goes on walks 2-3x a day, and is given lots of love, attention and play throughout the day. While I would be in and out during the day I have more than enough time to give your dog adequate exercise and attention. We have a fenced in backyard to let the dog run around and be outside throughout the day. Simultaneously enjoy taking our dog on daily walks or outdoor adventure to a nearby park or path on the weekends for extra exercise and socialization. Our dog has free roam of the house and is able to be on the furniture as he pleases.

Ruby was very reliable with dropping in 2x daily to give an insulin injection to our diabetic senior cat and daily care for our two younger cats. In addition, she cleaned litter, played with the kitties, brought in mail and sent pictures and a report twice daily. We came home after nine days away to three happy cats who were well cared for. We are so pleased with Ruby’s pet sitting services.

Was an awesome sitter! Kept me constantly up to date especially since one of my dogs gets really bad anxiety when we leave. He took great care of them and they didn't seem as anxious as they usually are.

About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!

This was our first time using Kayla as we normally board our dogs, but our go to and backup boarder we’re both full and due to a previous instance I don’t use any other boarders. Kayla did awesome! She communicated throughout her visits, kept us updated and even sent us several photos, where it was obvious our pups were enjoying her being around! We will use Kayla again and I strongly recommend her - you’ll pups will appreciate it.

Elisa was great with our animals! We had one snafoo when she failed to let the dog out as she had a work conflict. Luckily, I had a neighbor by to assist. Other than that, she was great and responsive and we would use her again! Thank you!
