Deborah took time to visit and take notes on the house the cats and feeding. The cats were well taken care of. We highly recommend her and would use her again

As usual, Jordan was great with our pups. He graciously handled one of our dogs having an upset tummy and he was respectful of our home. Thank you Jordan! We appreciate you so much!

We absolutely loved having Madeline watch our two pups while we were on vacation! I am guilty of leaving too many instructions sometimes, and she made me feel at ease before and during our time away. She also cleaned the house, washed all linens, and left the house in perfect shape. We’d be honored to have her as a sitter again!

Judy did a great job with our dog. She was very responsive to texts and kept us informed during her stay at our house. She left the house as clean as when she came. We will definitely use her again when we are traveling.

About: I grew up taking care of pets and showed my poodle in 4H giving me hands-on training experience. I love dog walking for extended time, and sitting your fur baby’s overnight! I currently work for the post office as a real carrier and my schedule is varying every week, mostly part-time so I can be accessible for afternoon, evenings and overnight I’m happy to drive the distance to your home to provide walking or outside play with your pet. Potty breaks while you’re away at work or overnight sitting while you’re on vacation is my thing too!

Natalie communicated well, took great care of Kong, and left the house tidy. She reached out ahead of time about a couple of things she needed to accommodate her work schedule and about whether visitors were allowed, which I appreciated. She was patient with my detailed instructions for my stubborn but sweet senior dog. I’d recommend Natalie!

About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.

Valerie was awesome! My dogs loved her and she was great about keeping us updated. It is hard to find reliable people to watch the dogs, so it’s nice to finally have someone near us to help!

About: I am reliable, flexible, and willing to accommodate all of your pet’s needs. I am available to provide all the love, time, and attention that you would ever wish for your pet and I promise to treat your pet like family! I have had cats & dogs my entire life. Having pets of my own, I know how I would like my pets to be pampered when I am away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds! I love cats too and don’t mind tending to their needs as well! I promise to spend quality time with your pet when I am with them and give them all the play time attention they need! My dog is a 4 year old border collie black lab mix and she enjoys playing fetch and hiking! My cat is a 8 year old bengal and he loves being king of the house, drinking from the tub, & hiking. Mon-Fri I work from home with a very flexible schedule desk job. It would be easy for me to check in on your pet. On weekends I am usually free (spending time with my young family) and fully committed to Rover clients. I have 3 young children in my home. Weekends I am completely free to work with Rover clients. Mon-Fri I work from home with flexible hours so I can care for pets easily. At my home I have a large yard and a 4 year old dog playmate. The cat does his own thing. At your home I am fully committed to providing the care I would expect of someone watching my fur kids. I know sometimes the extra love/playtime can go a long way.

Jasmine was wonderful with our dogs. She took great care of them, spent time playing with them, and made sure they got plenty of walks. It was clear they were comfortable and happy while we were away. We would absolutely use Jasmine again!

About: I have worked at a dog boarding facility in the past, as well as pet sitting! I have experience giving medication and with special diets. I am comfortable with younger pets up to senior pets! I am responsible and responsive! I currently have a full time job Monday-Thursday, so I am looking for pet care work Friday-Sunday! There is an option to provide morning walks every day of the week. I will be very respectful of your home and space while caring for your pet. I don’t offer pet care in my home, because I have a cat.

About: I have a few years of experience house-sitting for dogs. During these visits, I take the dogs on walks, make sure they are fed, play with them, and provide companionship. I also am comfortable spending the night to be there for the dog at all hours. Most recently, I was a volunteer dog walker for Indy Humane, and have experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs. This is a summer job for me so I am extremely flexible! I can work at any hour and any day of the week except Sundays, but will make exceptions for multiple night stays. I care for dogs by keeping them on a leash when there is not a fenced in space. I also make sure they get adequate exercise and love while their owners are away.

About: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is my hands-on experience with training and caring for my own dogs. As a proud owner of a Pitbull and a Great Dane, I understand the unique needs of different breeds and how to create a comfortable, safe, and stimulating environment for them. My passion for animals goes beyond just feeding and walking – I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away, and I have the skills to provide extra support for pets who might need it. Whether it’s basic obedience or more specialized attention, I bring a personalized approach that makes sure your pet is treated like family. As a student, I’ve structured my schedule to allow flexibility when it comes to pet care. I can easily accommodate pet boarding any day of the week, or stay at your home to ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they need while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have a reliable and caring person looking after your pet, so I make sure to prioritize their needs while balancing my studies. Whether it’s a few hours or several days, I’m here to offer consistent, loving care when it’s needed most. I provide loving, hands-on care for pets both in my own home and in yours. As someone who truly loves spending time with dogs, I make sure they feel right at home by playing with them, cuddling, and offering lots of affection. I’m happy to give them a bath if needed and take them out regularly for potty breaks, making sure they stay comfortable and well-cared for. Whether it’s keeping them entertained or providing some quiet time, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

About: Growing up I lived on a farm. I had pigs, chickens, rabbits, ducks, dogs and cats. I have always had a love for animals of any kind. I’m currently a stay at home mom. With that being said I would be able to take care of your pet at any hour through out the day. I have a fenced in yard at my house because I have 2 dogs of my own. If I were to come to your house to take care of your dog, I would be sure to take the dog out on a leash so that the dog doesn’t run off.

About: Hello! I’m Valeria (you can call me Val) and I am a part time pet sitter. I currently work full time remotely. I enjoy running/walking at the park so having a partner tag along won’t be a problem. I am willing to provide any extra care your dog may need. This includes providing snacks, preparing specific meals, or even spending extra time outside. I have experience handling dogs, cats, birds, small animals and even chickens! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or giving injections/oral medication but I am willing to learn and will provide the best service for your babies needs. Feel free to message me for your specific needs or if you have any questions. Thanks! I usually let clients know my availability and advice on how I will structure my schedule to best accommodate their pets needs. During weekdays my availability is flexible because I work from home. I like to tour homes to be aware of exits/entrances, restricted areas (if there are any), and exchange contact info in case of an emergency.
