“Emily is such a great cat sitter! She not only took great care of our cat, but went above and beyond by helpings us with an impromptu visit to make sure our cat would be okay when our flight was delayed. She stands out from previous sitters, as it’s clear that she genuinely likes cats, is responsible, and detail oriented. Emily will be my go-to the next time our cat needs care!”

“My cat is very scared of strangers but he warmed up to Dubai on day one. I loved getting the photos and updates from Dubai while I was on my trip. After the stay, she put my house back together better than how I had left it. Will book again”
“Kieran was the best! He took great care of my cats. Giselle loved him from day one and Giuseppe even eventually decided Kieran wasn’t so scary after all and came out of hiding.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and I truly believe that animals are one of life’s greatest gifts. I currently have 2 cats of my own, help care for my parent’s dog, and I grew up with a dog in the home. My current schedule is highly flexible, and I am available most days and times. I can commit to a consistent scheduled time or accommodate varied scheduling needs. I will treat your fur baby as if they were mine - cultivating an atmosphere of patience, kindness, protection, fun, and care are a priority for me when interacting with other’s beloved animals.
About: I've been cat-sitting since high school, watching friends' and neighbors' pets while they traveled. I am a cat owner myself and have personal, in-home experience with the furriest of overlords. I also have practice with the smallest of kittens as a volunteer with the Fort Smith Animal Haven. No cat too big, no beans too small... I can't wait to meet them all!! I'm currently between jobs, so your sit requests are my top priority! First come, first booked, of course, but I will do my best to make room for everyone in my schedule! At this point in time, I will not be offering in-home services as my space is too small and my own pets are too many. Safety is number one, and most cats are calmer (therefore safer) in their own space.

About: I have over ten years of experience in pet sitting/house sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and the neighboring community. I've taken care of a wide variety of animals, ranging from dogs and cats to some more infrequent ones like fish, birds, horses, hedgehogs, kangaroo mice, turtles, and even tarantulas. I would love to continue my work experience with future clients and friends through Rover. Even though I am a full-time student, pet care is a daily routine for me. My work schedule varies from week to week, but I will update my availabilities accordingly. My care for pets varies depending on the type of pet and the needs that are asked of me, but no matter what, I make sure every pet has the food, water, shelter, and love it needs. I will only board select pets in my home due to my current pet's needs, but I would be extremely happy to take care of your pet's needs in their own environment where they may feel more comfortable and at ease.

About: I have had pets in my home every since I was 4 years old, and when I moved out on my own, I quickly grew my own pet family! My husband and I have 4 dogs and 2 cats, all rescues! I am experienced with all sizes of dogs (mini yorkies to mastiffs!) and actually have a span of sizes in my own home. I am also experienced with rescues with complicated backgrounds, history of abuse, and reactivity. I understand that reactivity does not make a dog mean, and I am comfortable with dealing with that! I currently am a student with only one class per week, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry family members! I can come as many times a day as needed, stay overnight, or just come by to feed! Whatever you want/need! At my own home, all of my pets are inside pets, and sleep in the bed with me! I am comfortable with whatever set-up you have in your home, and whatever stage your pet is in. I am experienced with crate training and am comfortable with that as well.

“I highly recommend Jasmine as a dog care giver with Rover. She has been taking care of my Goldendoodle, Lucy, for the last 2 months, and I am so happy with the way she provides love, discipline (when needed), and active attention. Jasmine and her family are great at recognizing Lucy’s needs and putting them first. She regularly walks her, feeds her on a set schedule, and even sleeps with her. I am very confident in Jasmine, and I know any dog (and dog parent) would be lucky to have her!”
Steven T.
“I had to leave for a business trip and needed someone I could trust to care for my dog, who has diabetes. Steven was amazing! Not only did he give my dog his insulin shots on schedule, but he also took him for daily walks and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. Steven is super motivated, responsible, and really cares about the pets he looks after. I could relax and focus on my work knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend him! David, proud dog owner”
