1. Marissa M.
“Marissa M. would provide safe, loving care and great customer service for your pets. Wanna know why? She's turned into a dog and cat person later in life and it making up for lost time! (Says her friend the forever cat and dog lover.) Marissa has cared for my dog both at my house and at hers. Both scenarios work great for her. Marissa is committed to loving people, pets, and the planet and will care for everything with grace and honesty. :)”
2. Josie C.
“Josie did an incredible job house sitting while we were away. Our rescue dog has always been wary of new people, but Josie came over a few days before we left to meet him and they got along great. She knew exactly what our dog needed to feel safe. I was able to enjoy our vacation instead of worrying how things were going at home. On top of watching our dog, Josie went the extra mile to accommodate one of our family members when they stayed at our house overnight for a family emergency. Josie helped introduce them to our dog so they would be comfortable staying overnight, and coordinated directly with our visitor while they stayed at our house. I can't say enough about how thankful I am that we connected with Josie on Rover. She was responsive from the start, easy going, and took initiative in a way that made me confident I could trust her with anything. I would book Josie again in a heartbeat!”
3. Rojin M.
“Thank you, Rojin! Glad to hear it went well with having the new pup and the Frenchies playing together all evening. Thank you for the photos and check in, it made us feel better about the first housesitting with all three pups.”
4. Isobel P.
“Isobel took great care of our dachshund. She followed our instructions and handled feeding, walking and playing fetch. She also arrived promptly. Our dog was very happy and relaxed with Isobel. I would highly recommend Isobel.”
5. Chelsi D.
About: I have more than 10 years experience working with animals/ aside from my personal life which revolves around my (4) fur babies. I formerly worked as the primary animal caretaker for Aurora Adopt A Pet. I did that for almost 2 years, but I currently facilitate doggy daycare and help care for boarding dogs at Hairy Situations. I've been here almost 2 years now. For as long as i can remember, my life both inside and outside of work has revolved around animals. To say it's my passion is an understatement. Frequently outside, since I have a fenced in yard (8ft). Which also ensures your pet won't run away, or not get enough excerise. I treat every animal the way I would treat my own.
