âGinger went above and beyond! I just wanted someone to feed Harvey and give him his insulin but she actually cared and played with him! Made me feel better about being gone. Also the Rover Cards I got were some of the cutest pics of him ever!â


About: Iâm a lifelong animal lover whoâs been caring for dogs since I was five years old, starting with my first dog, Skipper. I currently have two rescue mixesâa 14-year-old boxer/husky and a 7-year-old pittie/huskyâwhich has given me a deep respect for senior dogs and the quirks that come with them. I have a particular affinity for dogs with special needs and hands-on experience caring for dogs who are deaf, highly anxious, or require daily medications. Iâm patient, observant, and take each dogâs routine seriouslyâyour dog will be safe, understood, and well cared for (even if they pretend not to like me at first). Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means Iâm available throughout the day for walks, feedings, medications, check-ins, and supervisionânot just quick drop-ins. I adapt my day around a petâs existing routine, not the other way around, and Iâm available on weekends as well. Translation: your fur baby will be thoroughly cared for, closely monitored, and occasionally wondering why Iâm still there. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I follow routines closelyâfeeding schedules, walks, medications, and any house-specific instructions. Iâm attentive without hovering and respect both the petâs space and your home. Everything will be left exactly as you left it, and your pet will be safe, settled, and properly cared for by someone who knows what theyâre doing, regardless of how unimpressed your dog or cat may seem.
âSusan was great! She listened attentively to my directions and requests for watching my kitty. My cat loved her, and she gave him a lot of love and care. She kept me regularly updated and did everything the way that I asked her to. Highly recommended!!â

âAngela was a wonderful pet sitter. She took great care of my senior cat who needs medication. She was very communicative and friendly, very easy to talk with and a sweet person. Highly recommend.â

âAbigail took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. She was very attentive, making sure Sancho received his medicine every day without any issue, and kept us updated with messages and photos that gave us peace of mind. Both of our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we came back. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and we would definitely trust her again in the future!â

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and reptiles for over ten years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently work a full-time job that has a flexible schedule so that I'm able to take care of your pets when needed. I am free throughout the week, and I have no problem in taking last minute jobs. Before taking a job I personally like to meet with clients to discuss everything that is needed to care for their pets, and will always update owners on anything that happens while watching after their fur babies.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12, through all stages of life, from puppy to adult to senior. I worked at a dog daycare and have experience with dog kenneling. I am a full time student with an extremely flexible schedule, so I have full availability to care for your pets. I am available anytime, any day of the week. I will care for the pet(s) as agreed upon by the owner, I am extremely flexible and will follow any instructions for caring for your pets.
About: Since I was around 6 or 7 years old, Iâve been helping care for dogs and cats. I grew up around a multitude of animals, from tiny puppies to sassy cats to huge dogs. I also volunteered at animal shelters throughout my childhood, and am currently studying zoology in college. I do have a handful of college classes and work another job, so for me, the most time Iâm available is Wed-Sun. I am available after 8pm on Wednesdays and Sundays, after 6:30 on Thursdays, after 1:30 on Fridays, and all day on Saturdays. I have unofficially trained dogs to be crated, and have often come up with creative ways to get them to come back inside. Back home, my family also has two big dogs that like to get loose, so I have plenty of experience chasing down runaway pups. I also currently care for three dogs and a very grumpy cat, so I have experience handling animals of various sizes and temperaments.
âBecause of the last minute nature of my trip, I was not even able to meet Andrew, but he was very communicative as I was getting ready to go, and my my kitties were well fed, and they seemed pleased with him from the pictures. I would definitely hire again!â

About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I truly love spending time with them. I currently have a 2 ½-year-old doodle who keeps me active and happy! We enjoy plenty of walks, runs (which are available upon request!), and time spent at the park playing with his frisbee. In addition to caring for my own pup, I have experience with dogs of all ages and understand the attention and love they need at every stage. Iâve even cared for a diabetic dog that required daily insulin injections, so Iâm comfortable handling special medical needs as well. As a dog owner myself, I truly understand the time, care, and commitment it takes to ensure a happy and healthy pet. I make it a priority to spend quality time with my dog every evening, whether thatâs through mental stimulation with treats, going for walks or runs, playing frisbee at the park, or tossing a ball around the house. You can rest assured that Iâll give your dog the same level of attention, love, and energy. I always ensure that the home is left exactly as I found it. If the pet has a designated crate, I make sure they are safely and comfortably placed there before I leave. Iâm mindful of my surroundings and take great care to be cautious and respectful in every home I enter.
âCathy was fantastic looking after our cats. We got lots of photos each day, which our previous Rover didnât do. We will definitely have Cathy watch our cats next time we head out of town.â

About: Iâve been pet sitting for four years now, pups of all ages!! Iâve been trained to give medicine, Iâve been trained on grooming, anything your animal may need!

Just know your pet is in good hands and will always be safe in my care.
About: Dogs are my passion! Iâve cared for puppies all the way to senior dogs. I grew up caring for a Cocker Spaniel, a Poodle Mix, and two cats. Iâd love the opportunity to care for your pup! I can provide drop in care, walks, and playtime for your fur babies anytime between 11am-3pm on Mondays. If you require other days, just let me know and may be able to make adjustments to make it work.
