Testimonials:
Our family has had the pleasure of employing Kathy to care for our golden retriever, Puffles since March of 2010. Our family vacations frequently, and when we are out of town, we trust Kathy to look after both our dog and our home in our absence. Each time I interact with Kathy, I find her to be very professional, responsible and reliable. She always leaves a detailed account of her visits with Puffles including bathroom breaks and adventures while walking or playing with Puffles in the backyard. We have also asked her to get our mail, take out the garbage and water plants in the summer.
It is so comforting knowing that someone is in and out of the house on a regular basis while we are out of town, not only to check on, feed and tend to Puffles, but also to make sure things are ok with the house. Based on the written information she leaves behind detailing her visits, I sometimes feel Puffles is better taken care of while we are gone than when we are home!
We employed another popular pet sitter in the area prior to Kathy only to learn from our neighbors that they were bringing “friends” along on their visits to our home. This did not sit well with us. That is when we found Kathy. We were most taken with how seriously she takes her job right down to being bonded and insured. We have never had a neighbor have anything but positive things to say about Kathy when she has been at our home.

We have used Red Rover Pet Services on several occasions when traveling. I have been extremely pleased with the care our pets have received and the real interest in their welfare shown by Kathy Todd the owner of the service. I would recommend Red Rover to anyone that is looking for excellent pet care.

Red Rover has taken care of my dog sparky while I have gone away for weeks at a time. Sparky is an older dog who requires a lot of care. I used to board him but he is to old for that now. I feel very confident and have total peace of mind while he is in their care. He gets lots of love and affection. She goes beyond what she offers in her service......Thank you so much Kathy!

We found Kathy Todd with Red Rover Pet Services by way of her business card left at our vet’s office. We have used two other pet sitters in the past and being new to the area we didn’t know anyone to ask for are referral. After meeting with Kathy, I knew immediately she was going to fit right into our family with pets. She is passionate about pets and the care she provides, and works hard to make her business a success. Kathy is very positive,wants to follow our routine with our pets (not hers like other pet sitters), always available to talk, gives great play by play summaries of her time with our dog, cat and fish and has gone above and beyond our expectations. She even came to my rescue one day when I locked myself out of the house while I had both kids with me. She wasn’t schedule for any visits with me, but figured out a way to get to the visits she did have scheduled and still come unlock my door with no questions asked and I was so grateful to her!!! We use Kathy every time we are gone now and we leave knowing that part of us, our pets, is going to be fine and when we get home from trips everything is so well taken care of and our dog especially is very calm and happy!!!

About 3 years ago, I was looking for a pet sitter that would tend to our two high energetic, high maintenance husky puppies and our older mixed lab and collie. I had called several pet sitters but only Kathy Todd responded in a timely manner. Kathy came over to my house and met the dogs, showed her what I expected and wanted for my dogs for I am a bit of a nit-picky person. Kathy made a great impression the first time I met her and she still does to this time. Kathy is very attentive and observant when she come to my house. When my family would go on a long trip or even just overnight I never worried how my dogs would be handled. My dogs require a lot of care and attention and Kathy gives them just that and goes above and beyond in everything. There were many times I would forget things for her to do and she would remember and be the one to remind me.;) Kathy Todd is very reliable in every way. She cares for my dogs as much as I can see her doing for her own dogs. I will always feel comfortable and confident having Kathy as my pet sitter.
