“Shaun and Katie are fantastic! Their family played with and loved on my pup while I was away and sent me photos and videos. She had so much fun playing on their farm that it was like she was on her own vacation! Knowing she was being taken such good care of allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more. I’ve already rebooked them twice for this summer.”
“Jenny took such good care of my reactive dog! She was patient and understanding, and knew what to do to get my dog to warm up to her. She also sent a nice amount of photos and updates which I sincerely appreciated!”

“Angie was a LIFESAVER with our 7 and 3 year old lab and frenchton girls over Christmas! We had a meet and greet to discuss needs and concerns after initial booking inquiry and Angie was so optimistic about the stay at her home. During the stay, our girls had some anxiety and sick episodes but Angie was so attentive with updates and caring for them that put any worries at ease. The videos, pictures, and responsive texts made this first boarding/pet-sitting experience easy on both us humans and our dogs. Not to mention how Angie did all this over the Christmas holiday - I know Leia Pup and Penny loved their time with their "babysitter" watching Christmas movies and playing with other furry friends they made during the stay! THANK YOU ANGIE!”

“Lindsay was terrific. Jason immediately felt comfortable in her home, climbing up on the coach and rolling around happily. She did a great job providing food and snuggles and walks.”
“Jennifer was A++! This was the first time leaving our pup as he's only 6 months old. She sent us daily updates of him, videos of him playing with her dog, and he came home tired. We didn't worry about our pup for one minute while we were away. We would definitely book her again to care for our little Rowdy ❤️ Can't thank her enough for taking such good care of him!”

“Jordon has done extended stays caring for my long haired cat, Oliver. Oliver really doesn’t like to be social with anyone, but me! Jordon sends pictures everyday and to my surprise some of the pics….Oliver is sitting next to and relaxing with Jordon. He is very responsible & caring. He goes above and beyond. I will ask for Jordon every time I need someone to stay with Oliver while I’m away. Thank you, Jordon!”
“Rachel was GREAT! She was able to help out with our dog at the last minute when we decided to go out of town and couldn't take our dog along! Dozer has a lot of anxiety and doesn't do well with boarding, so having someone who could come into our home and care for him was a perfect solution!!”
“Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!”
About: I have worked in many different aspects of caring for animals, from shelters, to a boarding facility. I also volunteer for an animal shelter. I pet sit for friends often and love to do it!!

About: I've taken care of cats my entire life! My first ever sentence was "pretty kitty". :) Cats mean the world to me and I have a lot of experience catsitting for my neighbors & other such things with cats. I also have volunteer hours at my local animal shelter specifically with cat care. I own 3 cats of my own and would absolutely go to bat for any random cat I met on the street!!! Seriously, I used to argue with people in YouTube comment sections about how much I love cats. I have plenty of experience raising kittens (I've had lots of pregnant mamas over the years) and have steeled myself against the firey claws of. Cat claws. My cat likes to ride my shoulder like a parrot so y'know you get used to the sting. I would certainly love to bond with your cat (or cats! The more the merrier!) as they are my favorite thing in the world. Seriously, even my nickname is Kat!!! If you let me take care of your cats, you will be reincarnated as a beautiful lotus flower. My only wish in life is to kiss every kitty on their soft head..😊
“I’m so grateful I tried Rover and found Ashley! When Ashley came over for a meet and greet, Jasmine immediately loved her! She is so kind, loving, and a personable. Ashley took the time to get to know Jasmine and asked great clarifying questions. I absolutely loved receiving sweet updates and photos when I was gone! I was not worried the entirety of my trip because I knew she had it covered!! Ashley was even sweet enough to clean, wash the bedding, and vacuum without being asked. Ashley’s genuine love for animals and her strong communication skills make her the perfect sitter! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so thankful for her and will absolutely book her again!!!!”
“Angie was great, filled in for us last minute! She was easy to work with and accommodated a virtual meeting to go over instructions to fit our schedule. We were very happy with the care our two cats received!!”

My dog is super friendly and will love having play dates. He is neutered as well!
