“Cindy was so helpful by accepting my last-minute request and going above and beyond what I asked her to do. I hope I'll have the opportunity to use her services again.”
“Sarah was wonderful. Our two girls took to her from the first meeting. Our Mollie has a bit of anxiety but she instantly showed her affection. Thank you Sarah- You are on our list.”
“I'm so glad we chose Melissa to care for our cat Jake while we were away. She filled out his report card every day and she always kept us in the loop,a long with daily pictures. We will be using Melissa again in the future. Jake seemed very content when we got home.”
“Jenny is great with my 3 kitty babies. They are spoiled and all need to eat different food. These gals are a challenge. Love the check ins with pictures and a summary of the drop in visits! Would definitely recommend taking care of your babies. Thank you Jenny!”
“Ellie is the absolute best! My animals adore her. She takes her job very seriously. Ellie stays at least a half hour for EVERY visit. She gives my animals so much love and affection. If they need medication Ellie makes sure they get it. We have total piece of mind when we go away now. Thanks to Ellie.”
“Amanda was great with the baby Zara she was on time and Zara doesn’t typically like new people but she was able to get her to come out and hang out! We are so happy and feel so comfortable having her come when we take our next vacation or trip! Thanks so much Amanda”
About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs over the years but now I'm looking for a new adventure with Rover. I promise the best for your dog I currently have a job but having another dog around the house or a dog to go and walk would not be an inconvenience at all We have a Yorkie at home and she pretty much does whatever she wants. Your dog would be treated exactly the same. She gets along with other dogs very well and knows how to handle herself around larger dogs
“Suzanne took excellent care of my two cats. She was very prompt and dependable, which is especially important to me since both cats require medication, I’m very happy with her services and would highly recommend her.”
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home. I care for them more than anything in this world. I have been surrounded by animals since I was born. I provide extra love to all types of animals. I go to college two days a week but most my classes are from home so I am always around. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I substitute teach however I am not always guaranteed a job on those days. However, I will always make time for any animals who need care🩷 I care for pets in my own home by feeding them twice a day, playing with them, giving them treats, letting them out often, and laying with them on the couch/watching TV. In addition, I take them on walks any chance I can get to get them exercise and fresh air:)
“Kayla was such a great cat sitter! I was gone for two weeks and she checked in on my Louie every other day (and even watered my plants!). My cat is shy when I’m not around and Kayla was so kind with my Louie and gave her treats and played with her (even though my cat was being very antisocial). She sent me pictures and updates with every drop-in visit. I definitely recommend Kayla as a cat sitter and I will definitely book her again if needed in the future. Thanks so much Kayla!”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and am well-versed in all the ins-and-outs of dog care. I am also a former college runner and very active person- so I can take your dog for long walks or runs! I am currently in LBI on vacation through August 13th. I currently work Monday - Thursday in person, and leave at 8am and am back by 5:30. If you are comfortable leaving your dog that long, I am happy to watch during that week. Otherwise, I do not work Friday-Sunday and will be around for constant attention and walks. My apartment is very pet safe and spacious. There is no access to human food, and all my trash cans are covered. Additionally, I live across the street from a park and a nice neighborhood, so I will be able to take your dog on lovely walks throughout the day.
“Lisa did a phenomenal job visiting my two pups while I was at work. I came home to happy pups each day. Lisa sent photos and a summary each day and let me know when one of my dogs seemed sick, which I really appreciated. She was entirely professional and thorough in our communication and I will happily use her again in the future. I highly recommend Lisa for all dog owners looking for great care for their furry family members.”
About: Trained my dog from 8 weeks old when we got her 6 years ago! Potty training experience, walking, feeding, bathing, and more. I’m always the first person to pet a dog I see and I’ve also found a few lost dogs and reunited them with their families! My weekly routine varies but I have plenty of free time each day! I am currently working a part time job so I am flexible. I am detail oriented and will pay close attention to your care instructions to make sure your pet is happy and that you have no worries about them!
About: Saying that I’m a pet person is an understatement! I currently work at a fresh dog food company but that’s still not enough ‘dog time’ for me! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs by fostering puppies and dogs in my home, volunteering, and pet sitting. I was also an Animal Science major and have worked in vet offices caring for all types of animals (of course, mostly dogs and cats) so I have experience in administering medications. I absolutely fall in love with each animal care for - I have a dog and chinchilla myself, and know how important they are to us humans. That’s why I treat every pet I as if they’re my own and am excited to love your's as well! I'm currently working remotely and have a flexible schedule. I'm available for overnights pet sitting any night of the week or walks at any time of the day! Each client and pup is unique! My goal is to make sure your dog's routine stays as regular as possible when in my care so they remain happy and healthy :). I always recommend meeting with each client before an overnight so they can physically walk me through their dog's routine, feeding and walk schedule, etc. I always ensure I am 110% certain where they are/are not allowed in the house and yard, emergency contact info, vet info, preferred walking routes and times, whether they're dog/people friendly, etc. Oh, and your dog will receive plenty of hugs and snuggles too!
“Louisa was very flexible with my schedule and so easy to communicate with. We did a meet and greet and the following day she watch my old boy Tucker for an hour. He has separation anxiety and I was worried he would do well, but Louisa sat right down with him and kept him company, and let him stroll around when he needed. She really paid attention to my needs and did everything I asked and more!!”
