Cat Sitting in Afton

“Traci is so sweet, I will definitely use her again. She was great with my very unfriendly older cat. My cat usually hides but not for Traci. She sent many pictures too.”

About: I grew up with animals all throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and help my mom foster for Cocos Heart and other animal rescues. I’ve worked with many different dog breeds through my past job at PetSuites and through pet sitting. BACK FOR THE SUMMER!! I’m currently working part time at two jobs during the week but will be able to make check-ins in between shifts. The weekends I’m available anytime for check-ins or walks! I try to provide more than just the basic needs to my pets and any pet I care for. This includes feeding and medications, walking, playing, and hanging out with the pets to keep them company. I’m relatively active so I can take the pets for longer walks and runs if requested. I always put the pet first and make sure they feel safe and comfortable with my presence.

“Payton was great with my energetic pup! He is not the easiest dog to wear out and every time I got home he seemed content and happy with the attention she gave him. Will definitely book her again next time i need someone to check in on him.”

About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.

“Stephanie did an awesome house visits for our dog. She was great, punctual and knew very well how to spend time with our dog and kept her happy.”

About: I have done dog walking and house sitting for my neighbors for years. When I was a kid, I would run around and do it for free because I just loved dogs so much! I carry that love with me as I now have three dogs of my own to look after-a new puppy to train, a 6 year old, and a 15 year old. I have experience in training puppies and experience in caring for senior dogs. I have had a passion for this sense as long as I can remember. I love it! I am currently living at home for the summer, and I am looking to stay busy doing something I love! So, I will bend my schedule however it is needed in order to dog sit, dog walk, or however else I can help. Any day, any time. However someone wants me to take care of their pet in their home, I am open to anything. I will follow the instructions given, provide consistent communication and updates, and always ensure that the home is respected.

“Jessica was a great care giver for our cats while away. She stopped in and spent time with each kitty, took many pictures for us, and was a great communicator. We appreciated her reasonable rates and sweet and caring manner. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind for your fur baby while way.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages. I love going above and beyond for your pets! I will play with them, take them for walks, and do whatever best fits their needs and usual routine. I’m a teacher, so I’m currently on summer break. I’m very available and flexible with whatever your need is. I can change my routine to fit yours! I will follow all directions given to me regarding the care of your pet. I want to make them and you as comfortable and happy as possible!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the responsibility I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve grown up around pets and currently have a rescue terrier mix named Benji, along with three cats, so I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve spent a lot of time dog sitting, walking dogs, and caring for pets for family members, including my grandparents. I’m also currently helping train a puppy, which has given me experience with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions to keep your pet comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. With plenty of trails near me, I can also provide fun, active walks for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have a flexible routine and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I currently work at a dog-friendly business where I interact with dogs regularly, and I make time throughout my week to provide reliable care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I can also accommodate overnight stays when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions. I know that keeping pets on their usual routine helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy levels. Whether that’s going for walks, playing with toys, or simply spending quality time together, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos to help owners feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care while they’re away.

“Amazing experience! Oriana is so sweet, she responded right away with my short notice request squeezed us in for a meet and greet and was very flexible. I really loved the communication and photos. A very cold day but she bundled them up and ventured and played inside with the! I will definitely be using her in the future”

“Rachel is amazing! She dropped by to see my cat and gave me great video and photo updates and was great with communication. Thank you again!”

About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.

“Elyse is awesome!! Her communication is top notch, and I love coming home to happy pups. I appreciate that she took the time to come over the night before her first visit to meet my dogs and get the run down of everything.”

Dennis T.

“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”
