12. Katrina L.
About: Hi my name is Katrina, or Kat for short. I truly have a passion and heart for animals! As a teen i started pet sitting and knew I wanted to always work with animals so as an adult I went to school for dog grooming. I was a pet sylist for 15 year with my own shop but had to retire due to injuries and health. I have a lot of experience, patience and care with many types of dogs and animals. I did schooling for dog psychology and training methods and continue to further my education. I also have two dogs, a westie and a pittie rescue mix, three cats and several reptiles so i'm always surrounded by animals which I love! I do also have experience with rescue work, raising bottle fed kittens. ♡ I have studied dog behavior and believe in using positive reinforcements and redirecting. I am able to do short training sessions focused on mental stimulation. If you have topples or puzzle toys i can provide your pup with that as well. ♡ I am cpr trained and am able to give medication. ♡ I will meet your dogs needs wether it be mental stimulation with fun games, a short walk or just hanging out together. ♡ I will provide photos as well updates if requested ♡ I will refresh water bowls, do feedings, take out for potty time or scoop litter. ♡ I will respect your home, time and privacy and provide your pet(s) with the utmost care and attention. I am pretty flexible, i'm avaialble during weekdays as well as every other sunday. I will keep my times available updated on the calender here at rover. I am able to feed your animals, take them out to potty, short walks as well as spend time giving them attention and play with them.


13. Ali S.
“Ali dedicates her life to dogs. She has three of her own who she loves unconditionally and does whatever they need to thrive, but is also a dedicated foster. There is no question that she is responsible and loving and it would be a great choice to trust her with your dog, we trust her with ours!”


14. Eleena R.
“Eleena has always had a passion for taking care of all types of animals since she was young. I remember she even helped a turtle cross the street so it wouldn't get hurt. She is skilled and responsible of taking care of all the pets she owns and others as well.”


15. Belizeth D.
“Belizeth is very loving with pets she treats them like if it's her child she's very responsible and she would love to work with pets because i know how much she loves animals.”


16. Johanna H.
About: I have been taking care of the pets of my family and friends since I was a child, and have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, fish, you name it! I have consistent families who ask me to pet-sit, and have pet-sat with up to 3 dogs in the home as well as a cat and bird! I have a dog of my own who pulls a lot when she walks, so I can handle that too! I have cared for senior animals and puppies, and animals with medical needs & diapers, plus homes with multiple different kinds of animals. I have cared for many many different breeds of dogs, from newfoundland's to chihuahuas. I have also cared for shy and anxious dogs, so I know how to approach them! I work a hybrid position, so I can spend the majority of the day with your animal, however one day a week I work the full day at the office. I have an animal, so my schedule already revolves around making sure I care for her and don't leave her alone too long. While I am pet-sitting, I have family members who will care for her. I can do drop-in's/hanging out with the pet for the day or multiple hours and then going home to sleep, or in-home pet care. I am less available for in-home as it depends on care for my own animal! I adjust my care based on the needs of the pet- if they are active and want to play, that's what we can do during a check-in, if they are a cuddle bug, then I will give them that attention during a check-in.


17. Allie L.
“I enthusiastically recommend Allie for pet sitting services. I have known Allie for more than 10 years, and during this time, I have been consistently impressed by her responsible, compassionate, and knowledgeable approach to animal care. Allie has a genuine love for animals and possesses a natural ability to connect with them. She is patient, understanding, and attuned to their individual needs and personalities. I have personally witnessed her interact with dogs and cats, and she handles each one with care and affection. Beyond her natural affinity for animals, Allie is also highly responsible and dependable. She understands the importance of consistent care and adheres to schedules diligently. I trust her implicitly to follow instructions carefully, whether it's administering medication, providing specific food, or adhering to a particular exercise routine. She is also proactive in communicating updates and addressing any concerns that may arise. Specifically, I want to highlight Allie's understanding of pet safety and care: Safety: Allie is aware of potential hazards for pets, such as toxic plants, choking hazards, and the importance of secure enclosures. She is mindful of ensuring a safe environment for the animals under her care. She understands the importance of keeping pets leashed during walks and being aware of their surroundings. Pet Care: Allie is knowledgeable about basic pet care needs, including feeding, grooming, exercise, and hygiene. She is willing to learn about specific dietary requirements or medical conditions and follow instructions precisely. She is also comfortable administering medications (oral and topical, if applicable, and with clear instructions) and recognizing signs of illness or distress in animals. I am confident that Allie would provide exceptional care for any pet. She is a responsible, compassionate, and knowledgeable individual who genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”


18. Kaitlin M.


“Kaitlin is absolutely amazing. She treated my dogs like her own and I was beyond grateful to have her help me out. Thank you Kaitlin for all you do!!”


19. Katie C.
About: I have two boxers of my own that I take care of. I have also dog sat and taken care of many kinds of dogs since i was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I currently work part time in the summer so I will have plenty of time to play with your furry friends. My schedule is very flexible whenever you need me! When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or bedding, plenty of exercise and playtime, and lots of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner and make sure the pet feels safe and comfortable in their environment.


20. Elaine G.

“Elaine was absolutely magnificent with my babies! I was nervous because people tend to fear the breeds I adopted. At the meet and greet, my babies immediately loved her. Elaine wasn’t intimidated by their size or high energy cuddles. I’m usually very particular about my pups, but Elaine’s energy, professionalism, and care really reassured me when I was away!”
