“Caitlin was awesome! She checked in on our little girls while we where away. She made sure to send us pictures of them having fun during her visits. She was very accommodating when I realized I had mixed up the booking dates. Definitely planning on using her again.”
“Raven did an outstanding job of watching over our five cats while we were on vacation. One of them was a new addition that had some GI issues (I guess we didn’t catch it before we left) that she cleaned up after, and kindly offered to take to the vet. We got photos and updates every time she went over, she was very responsive and good with the cats. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else in town!”

“Kay is wonderful!! She took such great care of our cat and updated us each day with a text and pictures. We are so thankful she was nearby and available. Our pet was in the best hands with Kay…”
“Kaylee was wonderful, when we met I could tell she has had a lot of good experience with working with animals. We've never used Rover before and were nervous about leaving our babies behind for the week, but it went wonderfully. We looked forward to getting the daily updates with the pictures. If you're on the fence about using Rover, definitely do it, and if you can book Kaylee she is awesome! We will definitely use her again when we travel!”

About: I am an animal lover at heart. I have owned dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and fish. I grew up pet sitting for neighbors when I was little, and started rover while I was still in college. I watch cats and small animals, and I am only available to watch dogs that can be let out into backyards for potty. Currently I am not doing walks or walking services. Please keep in mind that I do work for 6-8 hour shifts most days. I am still willing to stay in your home and/or stop by before and after my shift. Instructions are followed very carefully and I need to know what your pet’s daily schedule is like, what they are/are not allowed to do, and how they respond to rewards best.

About: A lifetime pet lover, I have over 20 years' experience caring for cats and dogs. I have fostered both cats and dogs, including puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I was also a volunteer at the Humane Society where I used to live in WA state. Your furry friend(s) will receive customized care in my home or yours. I am home all day, so your pet will receive my complete attention and you will receive lots of communication in the form of pictures and messages. Complete with walks down the river or beach, games and playtime, I will keep your furry family member's tail wagging the whole time you are gone. I am available for pick ups and drop offs as well. As I'm working remotely and with a flexible schedule, I can offer my complete attention with multiple walks and potty breaks throughout the day. This is ideal for anyone still in the training phase. When at my home, your babies will be inside with me or with me outside on a leash, unless we are at a dog park or off-leash friendly area. Cats will stay inside my home. Pets do not need to be in a kennel unless that is your preference.
