2. Lee B.
“My cats were so happy and well taken care of with Lee. I appreciate and loved his daily check in notes and photos. My shy cat has a hard time with strangers but even she became comfortable being around him. He kept our kitten entertained and happy. I would definitely recommend Lee to watch anyone’s pets and will definitely be booking with him again.”
3. Theresa A.
“Theresa was so awesome, reliable, and communicative! I have a senior dog and Theresa was so kind to her and I could tell how happy my baby was in all of the pictures Theresa shared with me. I will definitely be booking with her again and hopefully I can become a long term client of hers. 100% recommend her for any services! You will be calm and confident knowing your baby is in the best hands.”

6. Kyle J.
“This was my first time using Rover services. Kyle was fantastic! My pet was well taken care of, my home was just as I left it and the communication from Kyle during my absence was perfect. Not only will I use Rover again; fingers crossed that Kyle will have openings on his schedule for me.”

“Katherine, was awesome. Her communication was excellent, her connection with us and our pups immediate; and her malleability appreciated.

My wife and I highly recommend Katherine and can agree with the 5 stars given to her by others - she definitely earned it.”

12. Chloe W.
“Chloe helped me out when I was working night shift by letting my pup out before bed time. He was very happy and set up for a good night of rest. Thank you, Chloe!”
13. Giselle C.
“I had an emergency come up and had to book care for my dog and cat (s) at the very last minute. Giselle was so quick to respond to our request and confirm that she had availability. This was a huge relief because we were really worried that we would struggle to find care for our pets. She was fantastic, sharing lots of picture each time she visited and was so good with the animals that our extremely shy cat (who normally hides from everyone) came out and sat on her lap! Our dog even needed some medicine and Giselle was great about taking care of that too. I totally recommend Giselle and will definitely be booking her again soon. Thanks so much Giselle!”
14. Steven K.
“Steven replied promptly and was extremely reliable! Our pup had a great visit with him and we had peace of mind during a long day away from home.”
15. Amy D.
“Amy is a great pet sitter. Very reliable, spends time with my cats, takes nice photos. I feel very confident that my pets are in good hands. Thanks, Amy!”
16. Kate F.
“Kate was able to help us with a short notice drop in visit for our quirky senior dog and we are so appreciative! She made me feel relaxed because she totally understood that some pets really rely on a routine. We even got cute photos which brightened my day and let me know that our dog was well cared for.”
17. Marlowe M.
“I'm one of Marlowe's closest friends and that comes with a large price. By that, I mean that a large part of my my time spent with her (particularly in public) is awkwardly standing while she pets every dog she sees. She's an aggressive dog lover in the best of ways and treats dogs like their her best friends - is my jealously showing? She's kind, compassionate, and truly responsible so you really can't go wrong with her as a caregiver or even as a human.”
18. Jordan J.
“My husband and I went out of town for the Christmas holidays and we were so lucky that Jordan was able to watch our two cats ??. She is super professional, thoughtful and caring and our cats agreed.”
19. Kathy S.
“My dogs absolutely LOVE Kathy, including my shy / anxious dog who really only likes about 6 people! 🤣 Kathy is great at reading dogs' energy - she was really patient and let my nervous dog approach her first. I'd highly recommend her - she's dependable and always positive!”

About: Hi! My name is Mariah and I’m a current Vet Assistant at Kinship Animal Hospital. *I understand how nerve wrecking trusting your pet with a new person can be, I will happily provide references/testimonies from both current clients and from my Veterinary job** I have been pet sitting for about 3 years now for an handful of longterm clients, including 2 Vets- and am looking to expand my care! I worked previously at a training/daycare/boarding facility- so I am trained & experienced in animal behavior, care, and now, medical assistance. I offer a calm, caring and playful energy to make your pup(s) or kitties feel loved and relaxed while you’re away. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, breeds, and medical needs. Shoot me a message anytime, and I will happily chat details with you. Thanks! *Please note- I require a meet and greet, maybe multiple, with you present prior to the petsitting for both my safety, and assuring it is a good match. If your pet has a hard time with strangers, we may set up multiple visits (free of charge) before hand to allow your pet to get to know me. ***If needed, my prices are felxible** thanks! I currently work 8am-5pm M-F at a Vet Hospital. I take a 1hr lunch between 12pm-2pm. Allowing me to do an AM visit before work, a mid day visit around Noon-1pm ish, and after work from 5:15-8pm. Please note, I do have a standing client base and often have visits scheduled. I will accept clients as I can, but I must do 1st come 1served to allow proper care/time for each pet’s needs, as well as my own. With medical experience, I am extra careful with observing your pets emotional, eating/drinking, and bathroom habits. Each visit, even for hyper independent/semi feral cats, I must lay eyes on them and assure they are safe and sound- this includes checking your cats litterbox or keeping track of your dogs potty habits daily. Please either write or type out instructions for care, feeding schedule, and what is normal for them. I know what warrants medical attention/emergency care, and will not hesitate to reach out to you and seek care if necessary. I will request emergency contact info to reach you AND your pets Veterinary Hospital. I am very familiar with the ER facilities in the area and will absolutely provide transportation if needed. For cats, please leave their carrier accessible in case of emergency. For dogs, I have a seatbelt in my car that can hook onto a collar/harness for safety. Please have a collar/harness accessible.
