About: I did a year-long internship at an animal clinic during my senior year of high school as well as studied veterinary medicine during school. I've had dogs my entire life and have been a dog sitter for multiple family members. I'm a part-time worker with a very flexible work schedule that can match any availability that is needed. I do not mind spending as much time with your pets as needed! Clingy babies are my favorite! While I am unable to care for your pets in my own home, I am willing to stay with them for as long as they need! I am willing to do check-ins, video calls, and would love to send photos of your beloved pets so you know they're okay!
“Jada was a great communicator and sweet to my Levi. He didn't even bark when first meeting her. He went straight to her and put his head on her leg. He came back ready to rest.”
“Linda was polite and receptive to all information/requests I shared regarding my pup. Aside from the excellent care provided, she was courteous enough to go the extra mile by cleaning up any messes my dog (Or I) left laying around in the common area! I highly recommend her services!”
About: I've been with rover for a few years and I enjoy everything about it. Your experience with your pet in my care will guarantee a happy pet while visiting the heart of central Arlington. Times for feeding and walking can be journaled if need be. Also learning about your pet helps me understand what he/she needs. I'm currently available at all times during the session of your booking. I stay and make sure your pet is well taken care of and made a priority. I have a small apartment but enough room for your pets to have space and feel comfortable. I enjoy having your pet feel happy in an environment that has clarity and good energy.

My apartment has a large dog park, and it is very quiet. Not many dogs and animals at my apartment complex. Lots of walking areas near my apartment.
About: I have had pets my whole life. As i got older, the pet responsibilities become part of my weekly chores. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and have worked as a vet tech at a clinic for about 2 years Pet sitting would be easy to fit in my schedule. I am enrolled in college and have a car, so it easy to swing by a home for a bit to play and care for the animals. My pets are well cared for and I would be treat your pets with the same respect and kindness as if they were my own.
About: Whether your pet needs a cozy lap to curl up on, an adventurous stroll through the neighborhood, or just a friendly face to keep them company, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and content while you're away. Your pet's well-being is my top priority as I have pets of my own that I treat like family 🤍 I’m home most days so that means I have lots of free time to play with your pet or keep them company! I'm flexible and willing to accommodate your schedule whenever you need pet care I let my animals free roam in my home but I have a crate and caged play pen if needed. I would take care of my client’s pets like my own pets- I want to them feel safe, comfortable, and like their needs are being tended to. Just like with my own pet, each pet is different and has different needs. It’s important to read their body language and anticipate what they want.

I am experienced in senior pet care and have cared for family’s pets. I grew up on a small farm and have cared for and tended animals since I was a kid. I am committed to attentive and compassionate care of animals and am passionate about dogs. I work part - time performing funeral honors for veterans.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for quite a bit of time now and have 3 of my own along with 2 cats that are my younger siblings so I know how important these precious babies are and will treat any dog under my care as one of my own. I will do whatever is required of me and then some, need to walk twice a day? Done, need to be fed a certain way? Done; just know that if you choose me you don’t need to worry about the safety and care of your pet(s). I am not currently working at the moment but I am attending school over the month of June and have a class from 9:30 to 12:30, so if you need me to be with your animal all hours of the day just know that. Depending on the service required of me I will do my best to exceed it and give your animal all the care and love I would give to my own.
About: I’ve always had animals in my life, and usually more than one. I feel at home and comfortable with animals and they always seem to gravitate to me too. I’ve had a lot of experience with different types of care and grooming, and most messes don’t bother me at all. It comes with the territory! I just want your pet to be as comfortable and reassured as possible in your absence. This summer I’m working a very light schedule so I should be available at any time! I can start check-ins early in the morning, continuing until bed time. I like to announce myself when entering your home, to keep the anxiety as low as possible. I try to keep to their routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable. I try to use words and terms they know to let them know what’s happening next. Once they’re comfortable with me, I can match their energy level and play or cuddle, whatever they want. I’m committed to keeping their schedule and routine whatever it takes.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child. My family and friends have relied on me to play, walk and feed their pets. As a biologist I think animals are more than friends they are family members! I am a biology student so I have time to feed, walk and play with your baby. I am available weekends and weekdays after 4 pm. I have a small balcony and a safe space. There is a big dog area in my complex to walk and play with your little friend.

“Michaela is such a wonderful individual, who truly goes out of her way to make your four-legged babies very happy. Niles absolutely enjoys his time spent with Michaela.”
Cecilia S.
“I highly recommend Cecilia for the Rover Pet Sitting position. She took incredible care of our beloved dog, Bear, who is an older pup with specific needs and routines. From the very beginning, Cecilia showed genuine love and attentiveness toward him. She made sure he was well-fed on schedule, took him out for regular bathroom breaks and short, gentle walks suited to his age, and most importantly, gave him all the affection and companionship he needed. Cecilia didn’t just “watch” Bear—she truly bonded with him. She was patient, gentle, and attentive, always making sure he felt safe and comfortable. It was clear that she enjoyed spending time by his side, whether it was during quiet rest time or giving him some extra cuddles. Knowing Bear was in her care gave us so much peace of mind. Any pet would be lucky to have Cecilia as their sitter, and any pet parent can feel confident their furry friend is in loving, capable hands.”
