About: I am an experienced pet sitter with both personal and professional experience with animals of all species, temperaments, age, and health status. I have multiple years of experience in both emergency and general practice clinics and am thus confident in my ability to handle pets, distribute medication as needed, and recognize and respond to emergencies. Any animal in my care will be treated as my baby! ❤️ As a veterinary student, my schedule offers flexibility due to lunch breaks and large gaps between classes. I would love to share my daily study-break walks with your furry friend or spend the weekend with a study buddy while you’re away. I am unable to have a dog of my own right now and would be absolutely THRILLED to spend time with yours! My priority is always the animal’s safety and comfort. Whether that means showering your pet with lots of love or respecting their personal space, my goal is to provide your pet with a positive experience in my care.


About: I've had pets all my life and would love to care for yours too, on a temporary basis. I love to vacation and often struggle with finding a solution for my babies while I'm gone. For me my favorite choice is to have someone I know and trust stay in my home but there's hardly ever anyone available for that kind of commitment! I thought it would be awesome to be able to provide that kind of care for someone else: house/pet sitting, drop-in, or just walks/exercise. I want you to know your pets are loved and treated with gentle kindness. I recognize that I'm kind of a stranger to your babies and I'll treat them like my own and earn their trust! They'll be loved and cared for in a way that will make your absence less stressful for them and as much like their normal days as it can be while you're away. I take my responsibilities to others extremely seriously and won't be satisfied unless you are! I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible! I have availability on weekdays and weekends both. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are fine by mutual agreement. I enjoy taking find for walks or just playing outside in the yard. On days where weather is bad, I'm happy to get the dogs outside to do their business and then play a bit indoors!


“Lexi did great with Dove and gave us updates as she checked on our dog for a couple walks while we were out of town. It was an incredibly hot day and she took care of her to make sure she got outside but didn’t overheat.”


About: I've cared for dogs of all different breeds, cats, birds, bearded dragons and so much more. I currently have a German Shepherd, two French bulldog, and a cat. Have administer medicine to many dogs. I'm able to keep pets separated from other pets if needed as I have two level with full access to the fenced-in yard. Capable of caring for the youngest to the oldest animals. I do have experience with very anxious dogs as well. I am currently a stay-at-home mother of two homeschooled kids with lots of free, flexible time to give your pet lots of love and attention. I have many years of experience and strive to be knowledgeable on all breeds. I have two Frenchie and a German Shepherd. If needed, I do have kennels available in all sizes, but all animals are able to roam free in my house. With a safe fenced-in back yard, we are able to have lots of play time.

“Our corgi Millie loves when Molly comes to let her out! I always know Millie will be well taken care or. Molly is extremely accommodating to schedule changes and when we were out of town and was locked out of the house was willing to still come back and let Millie out!”

I can come any day of the week except Sunday mornings. But please try to give me as much warning as possible so that I can be sure I don't plan something else on that day. I am sorry but I do not offer bording, overnight house sitting, or doggy daycare services. I do offer dog walking and drop in visits though.

My weekly routine is pretty set in stone as of now. I have a fully fenced in yard and two very friendly and loving fur babies to keep your baby company. I also have a crate if needed for crate training.

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

“She was soo helpful and is so diligent!! Today I was so stuck and I totally wrote my whole calendar day down wrong. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate. I won’t do that often but I’m so grateful”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I have taken care of bunnies, ferrets, hamsters, cats and dogs! I am a proud dog owner myself. I am very comfortable with walking, feeding, and bathing pets. I am passionate and willing to learn all different breed types and what each specific furbaby needs! I am currently a elementary teacher, so I am looking for a way to continue my passion and love for animals this summer through this service. I am interested in doing part-time work. I care for pets based on the individual pet needs. Making sure that the breed is taken into account, especially as it gets hotter outside. I have a doggy pool and hose system for dogs to play in the background. A very quiet neighborhood for walking. I enjoy playing with dogs inside and outside the home to burn off some energy and making sure that they are getting groomed if thats a requirement. I am comfortable with taking multiple dogs on walks.

About: As a person who showed, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, chickens, and pigs in 4H as a kid, who has recently taken a interest and love for exotics and adopted a gecko, I've seen it all. I grew up on a farm with just about every kind of animal under the sun. I've bottle fed baby goats back to health, trained our 5 dogs with love and respect, bathed goats on a hot summer day, and stayed up at night to be there during the birth of baby kittens, goats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. But after all these years, I still don't mind the trouble and heart ache of loving these animals fully, even if it means having to take a lint roller to your shirt covered in dog fur. As a college student living on campus during the Fall-Spring I have just enough time to care for my Crested gecko Calcifer in between classes and work. But when Im at home for breaks like during the summer and winter, I am sure to give all my love to all the critters I have been missing at home. Over these seasonal times off from school I have a break from my on campus job, So I have plenty of time to work on my side gigs, like pet sitting, selling my art at markets, and helping my family build our new house. First and foremost always come the clients instructions and care requirements, they are the pets parent and know whats best for them. But I will always go above and beyond to meet my own personal standard of pet care, of course this very depending on the type of pet. But, typically for standard pet sitting it includes 2-3 house visits a day, regular morning and evening feedings (with a couple treats here and there of course!).

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born, we have always had 2 or more in our house. My neighbors, friends, and family have used me to watch their dogs, including feeding, letting outside, walking, and bathing. I am a full time student and am home during summer. I work remotely with very minimal and flexible hours. This allows me to be available for your dogs when they need me! I give your pets lots of attention and care for them as if there were one of mine. I go above and beyond what is asked for and make sure your furry friend is as happy as can be!

About: I have cats and dogs my whole life and I've learned a lot about them. Growing up as a child I learned many things from my mom teaching me about our animals, and wanting to know more because of my love for them. I give animals all the love I have, everytime I see a dog or cat I instantly want to pet them! My love for your animal(s) will be like you loving your own! I am currently working on a flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to help with your animals! I am pretty open everyday but some things might depend on the day! I haven't yet but I would take care of your animal like my own. I currently have two cats and I love them so much! I would love your pets just as much not only at my house but also when I'm with them in your home!

Natalie K.
“Natalie has stayed with my 2 boys several times. She did a fantastic job caring for my older pup with complicated medical needs as well as balancing the activity and cuddle needs of my puppy. I love the soft spot she has for senior pets and the love she gave equally to both of my pups. I came home to 2 happy boys and a clean home. It gave me such peace of mind while I had to be out of town. Natalie is at the top of my list for dog/housesitters.”
