Pet Sitting in Weimar

“Nancy’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She’s responsive, eager to make sure all my animals are well taken care of. Whether it’s walking my rat terrier or making sure the heater is working so that they don’t get cold at night, she’s thoughtful and goes the extra distance. And she sends me pictures of the dog and cats at every visit in real time. She’s just wonderful.”

“I have known Lois for the past several years, having met through a walking group, SacFit. We’ve shared many walks, including a marathon, all offering the opportunity to talk and get to know someone. I consider her a dear friend and easily bonded over our love ❤️ for dogs. She dearly loves German Shepherds, having been a pet mom to 4 Shepherds over the years, starting when her now grown children were young. They were members of the family and I was most familiar with Schubie, who she and her husband recently lost at age 12. Lois spoke often of walking Schubie, who loved his walks and Lois found joy in seeing his alert, happy, and curious self. Schubie was well mannered on and off leash, with the former being a testament to Lois’s concern for Schubie’s safety. Lois is a kind, compassionate, responsible, and gentle human being, who values family, human and animal, and helping. I so value her openness to listening and her easy going, friendly and warm communication style. I was so happy to learn of her interest in becoming a dog walker through Rover. This seems an ideal fit for Lois 😊🐾🐾 It was my absolute pleasure and honor writing this testimonial for Lois. Melody”

“Miya did a great job with Einstein when I was at work, always came home to a super happy dog! Will definitely be using her again!”

“Sophia did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Ollie. We were worried about Ollie being shy. But were happily surprised to see that he made a new friend in Sophia :)”

“Nina is amazing. She is so good with my poodle. Abby looks forward to seeing her, and will sit on her lap, waiting for her walk.”

“Nicque is awesome!! She has taken care of our three dogs on multiple occasions! Our three dogs range from 65 pounds to 95 pounds. They all love her and are always so excited to see her, which speaks volumes! It is actually hard to write this review because once everyone finds out how great she is, she may be booked up the next time we need her. 💗🐶🐾”

“Nicole was an excellent sitter. She was professional and communicative and took great care of my animals and home. Kitties were relaxed and happy, would definitely recommend”

“Sophia was a perfect fit to care for my fur baby, Florence. She was accountable, trustworthy, and took care of Florence like she was her own! I would recommend Sophia to any of my friends and strangers alike. A true bond was formed and I’m so thankful to have found Sophia to care for Florence while I am away! Thank you!”

“Evelyn is a great dog sitter. She is always kind and caring with my pet. Always reliable and makes the furry friends and owner happy. I highly recommend her!”

“Meaghan has grown up around animals. As a young child, she learned to take care of rabbits and guinea pigs and feels comfortable around small animals. She loves cats and has been surrounded by them for many years. She has experience with difficult cats, medicating cats, and dealing with complex dietary needs. She is also good with dogs and makes sure they get sufficient playtime and exercise.”

“I can give Olivia high marks on pet care. She stayed with us for a few months during Covid 19 and our puppy was transformed from a scatterbrain to a listening attentive learner. Olivia quickly became a favorite with our pup Frida for her loving but consistent manner. Olivia is reliable, conscientious and loves dogs ... and they love her too!”

“Abby is really sweet! My Kosmo loved her the very first day. She follows through in taking care of our Kosmo and sends us rover card updates with pictures. It feels good to know we have Kosmo in safe hands. ❤ Thanks Rover and Abby!”

“Ashley did a great job with our three cats. She showed up consistently every day and did everything that we asked. Ashley is reliable and trustworthy, and we have already booked her again, for our next trip. I would highly recommend her!”

“Angela is a phenomenal young lady. Very caring and truly does a fantastic job caring for your fur baby. I could not be happier. My dog was well cared for and was having a great time with Angela while I was away. Thank you Angela.”

“Whitney did a phenomenal job taking care of my cat during an extended vacation. She sent photos and updates and I felt more at ease knowing he was in good care. She’s very sweet, reliable & a great communicator. I’d definitely book her again and recommend her services!”

“If I had to choose one person to help me with my best boy, Gus, it would be Dillon. Last summer, Dillon helped me with training Gus. He spent many mornings with her working on his obedience skills. After one week, he was a extremely well trained boy. His listening skills were amazing due to Dillon‘s knowledge. This summer Dillon has been helping me while I am at work with Gus. He loves spending time with her, it’s like going to summer camp for him. He comes home every evening with a smile on his face.”

“Dayna always takes great care of our dogs when we go out of town. It makes our vacations so much more relaxing when we know Roscoe and Mickey are in good hands!”

“I highly recommend Kelly Mayer as a responsible and loving dog caregiver. My two dogs, one is a Chihuahua and the other a terrier mix, simply loved her. She came with a few treats and toys they both immediately gave her their attention. While walking them around the neighborhood and park, she was so loving, attentive and careful with them when around other dogs and children. The Chihuahua loves to run and play and I was pleased to notice that Kelly is very strong and athletic and could handle his energy very well. I especially loved how she would play, brush and massage them. She gave them belly and back rubs and they now remember that she is a person who can be trusted. I am so blessed I found Kelly as she will be my forever dog walker and caretaker.”
