“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”

“Kevin did such an excellent job caring for our cats while we were gone for the holidays. He gave our cats plenty of attention and love. He even sent us videos of them even though we didn't request them. I would absolutely rebook with Kevin. I recommend him 10/10.”

“We were very happy with Noemy, the cats are not used to us not being here and she actually sent pictures of them and they did not hide the entire time (this is huge!!!!!) Will definitely be a repeat customer”

About: Growing up in the country, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahua's to larger, and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit-bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their exercise routines, feeding habits, and personality quirks. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. Rounded up I have five years of experience caring for dogs of different temperaments, sizes, and breeds making knowledge, communication, and compassion key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all types of dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior challenged dogs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the animals in my care. As a graduated student, I have the freedom to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I schedule feeding times, walks, and play sessions around my coursework, giving each pet the structure they need while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. Having free weekends also allows me to dedicate more time to pets, who need consistent attention or engagement. I use my time for exercise, mental stimulation, or grooming, depending on the dogs needs. My focus on time management ensures that pets are always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into my routine. Whether it’s providing a calm and nurturing environment during the week or engaging in more active care on weekends, I ensure that pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, allowing me to meet the needs of every animal I care for. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment that fosters trust and well-being. Safety is my top priority, which includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, removing hazardous items, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses and supervise them closely to protect them from potential dangers like traffic. Building trust with pets is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, creating a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, spending quality time playing, or offering soothing companionship during quiet moments, I ensure they feel valued and cared for. The environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and follow their care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for the pet. Ultimately, my approach combines attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.
“Maisie was amazing! Really appreciate her flexibility and availability to help us out! This was my first experience with Rover and she made it incredibly easy and had great communication throughout to go check on our puppers! Will definitely be interested again in using her in the future, thank you Maisie!”

So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!

Josh was great and I booked last minute since I just moved to the area. I had a bad experience with a previous pet sitter which left me traumatized and Josh understood that and ensured he would take good care of my cats. I appreciate the check ins and pictures and it helps put me at ease when I am away from home. Overall it was a good experience especially being so last minute and despite a few of my cats being very shy he tried to make sure they all were fed and well taken care of.

I have not travelled much recently and am very anxious about leaving my big needy cat Ajax. Anna's excellent care allowed me to relax and savor my wonderful vacation with family on the east coast. I loved getting her check-in reports and photos on check-in and read the mini-chronicles of Ajax aloud to my family every day. Ajax is not generally a cuddlebug and can be very bossy so I was worried that he might give Anna a hard time, especially about not being able to go outside on his leash. To my delight, Anna the pet whisperer cultivated a beautiful relationship with Ajax over the ten days. I came home to a happy cat and pet areas considerably tidier than they are when I'm here:). In short--great communication, great care, and great comfort for this anxious pet owner.
