Aimee was amazing. We were a bit hesitant, as we've never used Rover before, but she was so welcoming and helpful. She came on-time, every time, and cared for our dog. We will definitely use her again!

Ashna is a great pet caregiver and they seem to take to her very well! She watched my dog for a weekend when my girlfriend and I were out of town and by the time we were back it was like she didn't want to come home! She sent plenty of updates and pictures to keep our minds at ease while we were able to enjoy our vacation. Our dog must've got plenty of exercise because she slept for a while after she got back, which was perfect for our post vacation blues!

Tony took great care of my two cats while I was away for a week! He kept me updated every day with how each was doing/behaving and any issues he ran into. I will absolutely be using tony again.

Absolutely excellent. We went on a long trip to Asia and the biggest thing for me was that I could actually enjoy my trip because I knew they were in great hands. She walked our dog daily in addition to playing with her outside in the backyard and really helped get her energy out and quality time. She was patient and kind with our cats and did an excellent job in finding ways to get them to take their medicine (3 of the 4 cats take medication). She cleaned our house throughout the stay but did a final clean on the day we got back and that was such a huge plus for us. It was nice coming home to happy animals and a clean house in order. So happy we found Tara and can’t wait to have her pet sit again.

Shannon was an amazing choice for a puppy visit! She kindly took care of my high energy 10 week old puppy for 30 min when I had to go to the office. She was very responsive and followed all instructions. Wrigley was lucky to have her help!

During my two-week trip, I entrusted Lucy to care for my two cats, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Lucy was incredibly attentive, consistently arriving at my apartment right on time to feed, clean up, and play with my furry companions. She even made sure to turn on the air conditioning as per my request, ensuring a cozy environment for them. Communication was seamless, with Lucy regularly sending me updates and plenty of photos, which kept me reassured and connected to my pets. It was truly a delightful experience, and I'm immensely grateful for her dedication and care!

I loved her attention to each cat's individual personality. She sent lots of detailed updates with pictures, and the time and care she gave to my boys was very clear. She followed the instructions I left but was also flexible to make good judgments that kept everyone safe and happy. I will absolutely be looking to book with her again and I know my cats will be glad!

Brooke did a great job checking-in on our cat. She is compassionate, caring, and trustworthy. I felt that MiMi was well taken care of in our absence.

Payton really helped us out very last minute with our girls. Maisie was just spayed and had some complications so has been on strict no movement. Payton was so sweet with them and was really attentive to everything they needed. Can’t recommend her enough!

Imagine leaving your beloved cat with a sitter who transforms from a stranger to a trusted companion, all while you’re miles away. This isn’t just a wishful thought; it’s my reality with Stacy, the remarkable sitter for my cherished Einstein deCat. Stacy has ‘sat’ for Einstein a couple of times, and each experience has been warmly received by him. Before the pandemic, I traveled frequently, and Einstein was accustomed to my absence. What initially attracted me to Stacy was her commitment to spending a full 30 minutes each visit, not merely completing the basics. As I resumed extended travels, I knew Einstein needed someone to be that other ‘hooman’ in his space, and Stacy was the perfect fit. Her daily pictures and occasional videos weren’t just updates; they were windows into the growing bond between her and Einstein. I’ve seen him allow her to comb his fur, a privilege he doesn’t give to just anyone, and relax next to her on the couch, a testament to their mutual affection. This isn’t mere pet sitting; it’s creating a caring environment for Einstein in my absence. I am confident in Stacy’s ability to manage any cat crisis. Should the need arise, I trust her to communicate effectively with me and any vet care providers, ensuring continuity and care tailored to any new circumstances. In a world where genuine care and trust are rare gems, finding Stacy has been a blessing. She doesn’t just watch over Einstein; she provides peace of mind, a happy cat to return to, and the freedom for me to enjoy my travels. Stacy isn’t just a cat sitter; she’s a guardian angel for both me and Einstein deCat.

About: Hi! My husband, Chris, and I would love to take care of your precious pets! I have spent my whole life around animals and have had my own pets at home for the past 20 years. If you leave your pets with us, you can rest assured that they'll be happy and well cared for while you're away. I have extensive experience with many breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs and cats. I have always trained my own pets and they are well-behaved. We love going on nice walks with dogs, or taking them to a park if your pet prefers it. Your pet will get as much exercise as they want while they're in our care! We foster and volunteer often for several animal rescues in the area, and have extensive experience with newborns, puppies, seniors, reactive, and high-maintenance pets. We are both very comfortable administering all types of medications. My husband and I are both on sabbatical, so we are available 24/7 for your pets! Whether in our home or yours, we will be with your pets without any work-related distractions. Our house has a fully fenced good size yard in a quiet neighborhood. While with us, your dog will get to go outside as often as they like, and will get daily walks also! We have tons of dog toys inside to play with when not in the yard.
