About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I can remember. We have always been a family of pet lovers. Pets are more than just pets to me; they are family! I’d be happy to assist in caring for your loved ones as if they’re one of my own. I am currently self-employed and able to adjust my schedule as needed by my Rover clients. I am usually available between 7 am and 10 pm as well as for overnight/weekend sitting. I have a fenced in yard and 6 kitties at my home. Happy to help with drop ins, walks, overnights, and boarding in special circumstances.

About: I’ve grown up with 2 English bulldogs my whole life. I work at a dog daycare with every breed and size imaginable. I love animals I work park time at my dog daycare facility. But if you message me in advance I will make you and your beautiful pup my top priority! I currently do not own a pet but I always had my English bulldogs following me around my parents house so I’m always aware of my surroundings and making sure I didn’t step on them

About: Hi! My name is Shayna Malonson, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I take the time to observe and listen to what a pet is feeling. If he or she needs cuddles, I’m ready. If he or she is nervous I will respect the need for distance. I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. I have been taking care of animals my entire life and when I meet a new friend they usually sense that about me. I am currently working part-time. I get up very early in the morning to make sure all animal needs are met before I leave the house. Everyone gets their morning snuggles, outside time, treats, fresh water and clean areas. Then we chill for a bit. When I get home we all immediately go outside for an hour of play (sometimes more). I have a fenced yard that is great to run around in. If I am coming to your home I will play outside and inside, whichever is your preference. I offer snuggles, treats, toy/ball playing, clean up and lots of conversation to your pet.

About: Hi! I’m Kateri- full-time human mama and social worker, part-time pet mama and sitter. I’ve been in the pet sitting business for around 10 years, and I’d love for the opportunity to show some love to your fur baby, too. I have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs and cats, birds, snakes, and even special needs pets! I typically book short-term but have experience in long-term sitting as well (two months!). I’m hands-on with my fur friends and provide excellent communication while you are away. I look forward to meeting your babies! I have a full-time job and two children, so I am accepting clients who need 1-2x/day drop ins or boarding in my home. Weekends are much more flexible in terms of drop-ins. Our day would typically look like an AM drop in before work, and then an evening drop in (and potentially some exercise) after work. Your pet will always have a comfy place to rest and play in my home. I can easily crate your animals if needed and I am very observant to your pet's behavior/energy/needs to determine the best type of care for that babe! If in your home, I make sure to clean up all messes and make sure the house looks better than before I arrived!

About: Hi! I’m a passionate pet lover with over 2 years of hands-on experience working at a busy doggy daycare. During that time, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities from high-energy pups to shy seniors who just needed a little extra patience. I’m experienced in group play supervision, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing dog behavior to keep every pup safe and happy. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on creating a calm, fun, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, or structured care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate service. Your pet’s comfort and safety will always be my top priority! Scheduling-wise, I currently work part-time as a barista and typically have short 6-hour shifts, so I’m never away for too long. This allows me to stay flexible and attentive when caring for pets. I’m great at planning around my schedule to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and plenty of love while you’re away. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s perfect for pet care. The area has low traffic, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of space for calm walks and fresh air. It’s a very pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and comfortable, whether they enjoy lounging indoors or going on slow, stress-free strolls outside. The calm atmosphere makes it ideal for pets who thrive in a cozy, low-noise setting.
