“Samantha was amazing with our 2 older cats! They are very shy but were both comfortable every time she came over, and she helped out with insulin injections for our diabetic cat as well. I would recommend anyone who needs help with their pets to contact Samantha!”
“Hunter went above and beyond while caring for our three cats for this past week. When the storm was approaching, she texted me to see if I wanted her to put our water bowls in case the power went out. It did, and she did put water out. From the pics, I could tell that Emma warmed up to Hunter right away. Iris got her pills even though she was skittish. Thank you, Hunter, for taking care of the kids.”
“Marlena did a great job checking in and looking after our shy cats and our home. We appreciated her being super responsive and very communicative. Its never easy leaving furbabies at home. Thanks Marlena we truly appreciate it.”
“Katie was exceptional from start to finish. I have a unique apartment setup, and she worked with me prior to our appt to get the proper entry information, key fob, etc. She regularly kept in touch throughout the booking, sent pictures, and even alerted me to when litter was low. More than that, she brought cat litter up 3 flights of stairs! Couldn’t be happier, would highly recommend Katie for anyone who wants a professional, caring sitter.”
“Jennifer was awesome with our very old cat Pumpkin. She really put us at ease about taking care of our little girl while we were at our son’s wedding over the entire weekend and are always worried about leaving her because she is so old. Jennifer was the best and would always love to have her watch our little girl.”
“Great communication and looked after our fur baby as requested. Thoroughly recommend Sarah!”
“Caroline was amazing! I had a last minute request for a drop in visit for my dog and she was super quick to respond, very communicative and was wonderful to work with. I would definitely rebook her the next time I need someone to walk my dog! Thank you, Caroline!”
“Lynn was an excellent caretaker for my cat Bean! Very professional, timely and someone who truly cares for the pets they take care of! It would be my pleasure to book her again for my pet!”
“Ashley was such a super find for us. Our 12 year old cat is afraid of people and hides when anyone shows up to our very quiet household. We were afraid of the emotional toll our week long vacation would cause our cat who is never alone for more than a few hours. Even though she hid under the bed when Ashley came twice each day, she got the cat to engage in a little play and a few head scratches. Ashley kept to the cats usual feeding schedule, watered plants and the garden and even changed out hummingbird feeders every day! This girl aims to please and that she did! We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and our cat survived our absence just fine. A million thanks, Ashley!”
“Olivia C. is a fantastic pet-sitter! We chose to have her do drop-in visits, & upon meeting w/ her & interacting w/ her we immediately knew that our pet (& house) was in great hands! She’s diligent about every aspect & took extra prep-notes…she was great about coaxing our Nittany kitty to eat certain flavors of his food that he likes less than others, keeping his water bowl clean & full of fresh water, administering his medicine, keeping his litterbox clean, playing w/ him, cuddling w/ him, sending us photos, & sending us fun detailed updates. We think that Nittany thoroughly enjoyed his time w/ Olivia!”
“Karina and Jared did a great job looking after my 2 cats while we were away. Jared did the drop in visits to feed, water and scoop. Karina was available for any questions I had and provided help with the Rover scheduling. They kept me up to date on the cat care and were great with communication. Thanks!”
“Thomas seemed to keep Moon very entertained and took good care of her! See was very happy when I got back!”
“Marisa stayed at our house for more than two weeks, caring for our cat and plants. She did an exceptional job! Our cat was very content and hardly seemed to miss us, which really shows how comfortable she was with Marisa. I would recommend her to anyone, and we would be delighted to have her house sit for us again!”
“Finding Midori to help with my dogs while I took a trip was truly a blessing. I work from home and never leave my dogs so they have separation anxiety usually. I got videos from Midori showing how excited they were to see her every day that I was away. Lots of updates and communication which was greatly appreciated. She did a great job tiring them out and I’ll be trusting her in the future for my future trips and sitter needs!”
“Kimberly is the best! She always takes wonderful care of our cats and not only makes sure they have the necessities but plays with them too. We love having her help!”
“Professional and nice!”
“Karen came at the last minute to help me out at a last-minute emergency. She was prompt and very friendly/helpful. I will definitely use her again!”
“Maeve has cared for our pets on more than one occasion. She is diligent, reliable and kind. I appreciate that Maeve checks in at every drop in and sends multiple photos. The house looked great when we returned from our trip too! 👍🏽💕”
About: I have had dogs my whole life (chow chow lab mix and golden retrievers) as well as everything from cats, to fish, turtles, ducks and chickens! I love animals and nature! I have been house and pet sitting for friends and family since I was fourteen. I am happy to spend time with your animals, take them for walks, hikes, swimming, etc! Whatever they need! I also have experience with elderly dogs. I am also an art major with a passion for photography so I will most likely take many cute pictures of your pet! I work as a waitress a few mornings during the week but otherwise I am extremely flexible and available. On the days I do work I am unavailable from 9am-2pm but am happy to assist with your pet before and/or after and on weekends! It is so important that pets get enough human contact and activity! I care for your pets by listening to your specific communications and using my years of experience to give them the care and treatment necessary. I also have years of experience in house cleaning and sitting so your home is in excellent hands. I take my work very seriously and treat everyones home and pets as if they were my own.
About: I can take care of any kind of common household pet (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc). I can also work well with any kind of dog, from pitbull to shitzu. I'm currently attending college full-time, but I only commute in to school during the week. I go in at 8:12AM and return home at 3:00 PM I have a big yard which gives pups lots of room to burn some energy. I also have a friendly dog of my own who loves to have some company!
