Rowyn M.
“Rowyn has been taking care of my cat and lizard regularly for about a year now. My cat can be a bit crazy. He has limitless energy and likes to attack hands and feet, but she handles it great and even takes him for walks sometimes. My lizard is a crested gecko and is typically less work, but I often have very specific instructions which she follows to a tee. She is also awesome about letting me know if anything seems off with either animal and goes the extra mile to make sure they're healthy and happy when I get back. She sends me great pictures, so I can see how they're doing. Rowyn is always my first choice of pet sitter and my animals love her! I would highly recommend her if you need drop-in visits or walks while you're away.”
Jennifer K.
“I would highly recommend Jennie. She has always had a love for animals and always puts their care first and foremost. I have known her for years and have seen her foster a number of animals in the past. She has always cared for all of her fosters as if they were her own children. I have never seen someone so dedicated to providing an active and healthy life for the animals in her care and I know that she will continue to do so for any animal entrusted to her. So again, if someone is looking for an individual who will take the utmost care of their furry family member, I cannot imagine a better person than Jennifer.”
