Maggie was absolutely wonderful with my cats. She was an easy choice for me - she communicated professionally, was very cheery at our meet and greet, and listened intently to every detail I shared about my cats. She cared for my cats like they were her own! I highly recommend her!

Kevin and his wife were both so kind and supportive when caring for my rescue pup, Wrigley. My dog has extreme anxiety and some behavioral issues. But, Wrigley warmed up quickly to Kevin and his wife. They were very flexible with our last-minute schedule changes and understanding of my dog’s needs. I also appreciated the daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend Kevin as a dog sitter!

About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !

Johana was great with my Yuki. Yuki needs her medicine twice per day, early in the morning and in the evening and Johana was able to make sure she was taken care of. It's not easy for me to trust that Yuki is being taken care of, but Johana did a great job and sent me notes to know that she was ok and happy and safe. She went the extra mile for me and I really appreciate how nice and supportive she is.

About: My mission is to provide compassionate, dependable, and personalized care that allows pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home while giving their families complete peace of mind. Every visit is built on kindness, trust, and treating each pet like a member of the family who is viewed and nurtured with love! Currently living with a cat, and I am both, a dog and a cat person! 😇 I offer flexible availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I do my best to accommodate regular daily walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting requests based on client needs and availability. For recurring dog walking clients, I typically schedule visits within consistent time windows (such as mid-morning or early afternoon), which helps maintain your pet’s routine and reduces stress. For pet sitting and drop-in visits, I will coordinate a schedule in advance to ensure your pet receives reliable care and attention while you are away. I respond to messages promptly and will always communicate clearly if I am unavailable or if my schedule is full for a specific time period. The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes or during walks, which allows pets to remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine with minimal stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, triggers, and comfort level before beginning care. I ensure all doors and entry points are secure at all times, and I am extremely mindful when entering and exiting the home to prevent any chance of escape. I do not allow off-leash outdoor time unless explicitly approved by the owner and in a fully secure area. I maintain a clean environment by properly handling food areas, litter boxes, and any pet-related messes during each visit. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will immediately communicate any concerns to the owner. Trust and respect are very important to me. I treat every home with care, privacy, and professionalism, as if it were my own.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.

Alexis was a very gentle and friendly sitter who truly cares for animals. She prioritized my two cats comfortability and anxieties, provided lots of updates while I was on vacation, and made me feel comfortable leaving my furbabies with her. I also came back to a clean apartment. 🩷

McKenzie stayed with our cat’s and dogs while we were away and she was wonderful! She was very sweet and patient with our pup Otis, he is very shy in the beginning. By the end of her stay I could tell he was very comfortable and happy with her! She sent lots of updates and we knew they were in great hands. We felt at ease knowing they were taken care of while we were away!

MAISY IS WONDERFUL! Honestly can’t say enough great things about my experience. Since it was my first time using Rover I was a bit nervous but she exceeded my expectations. She communicated constantly, sent me photos and had no issue sleeping on my couch with him (he’s a cuddler and needs the love). Also spent time real quality time with him outside, giving him his favorite bones and giving him lots of head scratches! I was skeptical because she only had one review at the time but it’s clear that experience was due to negligence from the owner who deliberately told lies. Dont be fooled, Maisy is an amazing dog sitter and human being. Thank you Maisy!
