Jenna did a great job for our cat! This was our first time using Rover. She shared updates and pictures after each visit, and her communication was excellent. Will definitely use Jenna again!

About: I’ve had pets for majority of my life and they’ve always been my responsibility, I’ve had a variety of pets and currently have my own dog, an English pointer and am hoping to expand the pet family with guinea pigs. I have a high maintenance dog myself and know the time and effort it takes to care for your pets. I would love to be an additional asset In providing your pet with quality care I am working part-time as a caregiver and have plenty of free time on my hands when I’m not working my 2 days a week. I do tend to work additional shifts on the same days, every Monday and some Tuesday’s. I will additionally buddy some days along for the ride, my 14 month son in an effort to enjoy the outdoors more while providing a needed service to those who want an extra hand. I will provide doggy bags and clean up after your pet as well

Olivia was above amazing. My cats took to her right away and usually it takes them some time. She stayed with them, gave them treats, fed them, scooped their litter and even cleaned up the litter area. She sent pictures (which I loved) and told me how they were acting everyday. Highly recommend Olivia for any pet owner.

About: I’ve owned and fostered dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 13 years. I’ve owned Great Danes, Huskies, Malamutes, Anatolian shepherds, Cane Corsos, and even wolf hybrids. I’m comfortable with all sizes and know how to adequately handle them. I am happiest when with dogs and look forward to meeting your furry family member! I work a job where I pick my own schedule. I will work around whatever my clients needs are to ensure their pet is cared for to your standard. I love to walk and am willing to take your furry loved one on as long of a walk as you like. I also practice safe feeding environments and am aware if feedings need to be done a certain way. I am also versed in practices of being safe while on the leash and at dog parks. I have a truck that I can use to take your dog to the dog park as well if you’d like.

About: I have hands on, everyday experience caring for four Golden Retrievers of my own. Managing a multi dog household has given me skills in canine schedule structure, supervision, and understanding of different personalities and energy levels. I also have experience caring for infant puppies, including feeding schedules, potty training foundations, crate introduction, and the patience that can sometimes be needed during those important early development stages. I’m comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing basic training, and providing both high-energy play and calm, attentive care. Your pet will be treated like part of my family: safe, loved, and well cared for! I work remotely full time, so I am very flexible and am able to meet you and your schedule requests, whether it be for in-home visits, walk outing, or overnight stays. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise routines, and any specific instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also reinforcing any training or household rules you have in place. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and always send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Kristina was wonderful! She loved my dog and you could tell she loves all animals! My vacation was extended, unexpectedly, due to an hospital admission. and she even picked up the extra shifts which helped alleviate my stress immensely. So I highly recommend Kristina!

About: I have always had a love for all kinds of animals. Ive enjoyed watching family and friends pets as well as caring for my own pets in my apartment. I'd love to get to know you and your unique pet and make them feel even more loved and appreciated. I have past background knowledge on pet nutrition,hygiene and behavior traits. I am currently starting school in March to gain my pharmacy technician certification, I would have open availability to provide assistance for you and your pets. I do have a dog with me, her name is Maze. Maze is a rescue, she stays in my room and going on walks multiple times a day as well as dog parks, she would love to have a friend. Maze eats 2 times a day once in the morning and once in the evening with a snack (can of tuna/shredded chicken) in the afternoon. Maze talks walks in a harness to provide safely,we do have an extra! I have cats as well, the are allowed to freely roam around with little latches that keep bedroom doors open just enough for them to go in and out, they are also fed twice a day with wet food and have dry kibble out for free feeding through the day, since they have smaller stomachs they eat more frequently, howver the dry food is only filled once it runs out completely, the cats also have a running water fountain as well as other water bowls on elevated surfaces. Their are plenty of pet beds,toys and treats, if their are any allergies please let me know!

I've used Michaela for years now and and not only do I trust her with my 4 cats, but my house as well. This last trip took 10 days and not only did she come in and feed, water, clean litter boxes, but also brought them new toys and treats, and made sure my house was presentable for prospective buyers.

About: My first pet sitting job was of 2 Boston Terriers at 9, since then I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, ducks, chickens, donkey, etc! I have been called a horse whisperer and my special talent in life is that I can get any introverted, sad, scared, animal to come out of it’s shell and feel at ease. I have taken care of farm animals in Nova Scotia, I’ve dog sat in Sweden, I’ve taken care of animals in CA, and I just love animals in general. I am extremely flexible, I work from home and have a sweet dog of my own who is playful and gentle with other animals. I, my husband or even our family as a whole take care of our animals first thing in the morning and at night, and I take time throughout the day to give them love and attention. I am home most of the time, I have lots of space to take your dog out to play (set up like a park but not fenced in, I can take them on a leash as needed) I have a kennel if you need or can set up yours. If you have a cat, my dog is used to them, though she does have an energetic greeting but we can separate them. I’m also happy to come visit your darlings at their home and make them feel comforted and ease. I’m one of those crazy animal ladies who likes to talk to animals, so I’ll soothe them and let them know you’ll be home soon!
