About: With a lifelong love for animals and experience caring for both household pets and farm animals, I treat your pets with the same attention and affection you would. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a self-employed designer/printer, so my schedule is very flexible and adjustable based on your/your pets' needs. I am also single, so I do not have any other prior commitments other than work, and I do not have any pets of my own, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I typically housesit/farm-sit, and I seek to adhere to the owners' standards. I am attentive to schedules, tasks & chores, and the pets' attention & affection needs. I keep a clean environment, and I make sure that the owner's home is in the same shape as when they left it.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous to try it. We have a senior dog that doesn’t travel well and we usually have people come stay or check in on him, but none of them could do it. I searched Rover for people who had good reviews and repeat customers. Leilani agreed to help last minute and it was much appreciated. She checked on our senior guy twice while we were gone overnight, took care of his diaper, and cleaned up any messes he had. She also fed him. She sent pictures and communicated any problems. It looks like he didn’t want to get out of bed so she brought his food to him for one of the feedings, which was a super sweet way to make sure he got food. We would hire her again.”
About: I have 4 years of experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. And 4 years experience taking care of cats and being a cat owner myself! I work as a self employed artist, so my schedule is completely flexible to meet yours and your furry friends needs. I can do pop ins and longer stays. I am dependable on whatever your furry friends need, whether its a walk, a fresh water and food refill, or a cuddle buddy, I am there with kindness.
About: I’ve had fur siblings all of my life and have never had any issues providing the best care, making sure they are well loved and fed and keeping them active. I’ll provide the best care and help out tidying up the home while you are away. Although I am new to pet sitting I will strive to make sure all of your animals are well cared for under my services. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m located in the Lakes region and I am willing to travel further on my days off. I do have a full time job but my days off rotate. If you are interested in using my services, reaching out about a week or 2 in advanced would be best so I can accommodate my schedule to yours! If you need a longer stay I can definitely make that happen with more of a heads up. I feed and water my cats before and after my shift. When I come home on my lunch I bring out some of their favorite toys and play until I have to head back to work. When I get home we have more playtime and I feed them dinner. Before bed I make sure all of their water bowls and food bowls are full, I clean their litter boxes 4-5 times a week (fill as needed) and do a deep clean once every 2 weeks to keep things fresh.
“Baxter was well taken care of by Mikayla! Even a walk! Highly recommend as I think Baxter loves her!”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Woody during my week long vacation. I felt very comfortable with her in charge and Woody really liked her as well. She did everything that was asked of her and she often went above and beyond. She sent pictures and kept up with my trip and even left the lights on for me when I was on my way home. I would certainly book Jessica again and highly recommend her.”

About: Since I was 10 I've been asked to take care of friends, family , and neighbors animals. Ranging from cats and dogs to larger animals. Where I'm from in My old small town where I came from I was highly recommended. I work mainly 4 days a week. My boss is pretty flexible so if you just tell me what you need at least 2 weeks ahead or what you need hoe need me scheduled I will make it work. Offer them love of course. Make sure they're fed and have water and have chance to go out n play and go potty or go for a walk. If they require additional stuff like medicine I would have no problem with that too.
“Chelsea is simply amazing. She’s very flexible and always happy to check on our crazy boy. He loves to destroy everything in our house, Chelsea doesn’t mind picking up the mess. We can tell Marvin loves hanging out with her in the back yard and she isn’t fazed by how crazy he can get. We love reading her report cards and she takes some great pictures too! If you need a dog sitter, she’s the one!”

“I can't say enough great things about the care Jamie B. Gave to our old boy, Buddha🐾💙 She went above and beyond with detailed doggo stats at every visit and sent lots of pictures and videos as well. Quality care from a wonderful human being☺️”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I currently have a playful Russian Blue cat and have cared for both dogs and cats for over a decade. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm demeanor, and ability to tune into an animal's needs—whether it's a high-energy puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet needing gentle care. I have experience with reinforcing training with consistency and love. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure animals receive attention, play, and walks at regular intervals. I’m committed to keeping pets comfortable and cared for, whether it’s a one-time visit or regular companionship. I treat every home and pet with respect, care, and professionalism. I follow all instructions carefully, keep pets’ environments clean and safe, and always ensure gates, doors, and crates are secure. Whether in your home or mine, I create a calm, low-stress environment where pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I communicate clearly and provide updates so pet parents feel confident and informed.
“Caitlin was great.. on time for every visit .. sent lots of pictures!! So grateful for her services??”
About: I work as a part time medical assistant and am trying to build my clientele so I can do this full time. I have two dogs of my own. Jazzy and Keona. Jazzy was just 9 months old, and Keona was 6 months old when my husband and I rescued them to give them a better life. I did have two cats that were brothers but one passed away a couple years ago. I have always been an animal lover. If I had a place big enough with a huge yard to play in, I would rescue all the dogs and cats that need homes. I have experience from taking care of my own pets. I will always treat other people's pets like they are my own as they are family members not just pets. I will share photos every day I am with them to their owners to assure them they are in good hands. I always like to meet the owners and the pets a few days before to make sure I am a good fit with your pets. I am currently working part time as a medical assistant. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to spend extra time with your pets. I care for them as if they were my own. I make sure they don't get into/ or eat anything that can be harmful to them. I am also very cautious when opening the door to make sure your pet does not run out.
About: I have been taking care of neighbor’s and friends’ dogs during vacations since I was 14. This includes walking, feeding, and playing with them on a set or flexible schedule. I work part-time during weekdays and the majority of the weekend. I have time to manage work and taking care of dogs on my days off. I have always loved animals and wanted to take care of them since I was a kid. I have a very friendly and old dog of my own, who I’ve taken care of constantly, especially through my gap year.

“Charles went well beyond our expectations when caring for our 3 large dogs, house cat, barn cat, and numerous chickens too. It was evident that he genuinely wanted the best for all our animals and we would ask him to housesit/petsit again in a heart beat... in fact, we sincerely hope Charles is always available when we need to go out of town. No one I'd rather trust our home and pets to than Charles.”

Laura H.
“Laura was amazing with my dog Sammy while I was away. I have known her for about 3 years now and in the beginning I would leave a note out for everything that needed to be done and she caught on very quickly. Hell, she would even clean up around the house even when I didn’t expect that of her. She was always active with Sammy and he would love it when she came over. I would check in and she would send me the best photos of him at the park! I moved away recently so both of us are very sad she can’t watch Sammy for me, but he sure did love his time with her.”
