About: Hello, my name is Angel and I’m excited to care for your cats and dogs! I have about 6 years of experience with cats, thanks to raising and caring for my own kitty, and 2 years of experience with dogs. While cats are my specialty, I’m also eager to continue building my dog care skills and I love spending time with pups of all ages, including puppies. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable with feeding, cleaning up after them, playing, and following any specific instructions you provide. If you book dog walking, I can take your pup on walks or even light jogs for exercise. I don’t currently drive, so I may use public transit or rideshare; this means arrival times can vary slightly. Meet and greets are required so your pet and I can get comfortable first! I am currently enrolled in hybrid and online college classes, which means I have almost full availability for bookings. My schedule is flexible unless otherwise stated in advance. I care for my own kitty with lots of love and attention, and I would do the same for your lovable fur baby. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are always my top priorities when pet sitting.😊🤗

Nancy did a fantastic job caring for my dog and cat while my wife and I were out of town for a couple of days. She treated our boys like her own pets and made sure she understood all of their care details during our meet and greet. She's very communicative and sent us plenty of updates with photos while we were away. And, she was a great guest while she stayed at our home. I'll definitely be requesting Nancy to care for our pets in the future!

About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.

Outstanding sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and treated them like her own. We were especially grateful for how calmly and confidently she handled Pearl during a low blood sugar episode — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Mia was superb, wonderful and both of our dogs warmed up to her on the short moment of meet and greet. I was worried to leave them with a stranger; however, it worked out and felt at ease and not had to worry because Mia took care of what our dogs important needs were -feeding them 2x a day on a timely manner, walked them and kept them company too. Both were well taken care of because they were super happy when I came home. Also the living room was in order and not disarray like our big toys who likes to make a mess -dog toys weren't all over the place. I would use here again in the future ! Thank you.

About: I've been a pet owner (dogs and cats) for more than 20 years. My current dogs are both rescues and each comes with their own unique personality, so I'm open to the quirks of lots of different pets. When I'm caring for your pet, they will be my only focus, and I can help with medications and whatever training you're working on with your pet family members! I'm newly retired, so I have time and flexibility to care for your pets! Just let me know what you are looking for and we'll make it work! I can walk dogs during the day or evening, and overnight house sitting with pets is right up my alley. I'll be happy to treat your pets like family. I am glad to maintain whatever routines your pet is used to, and while I'm staying at your home, I will be happy to maintain their walks, meals, snacks, medications, games, etc. I know how important trust is when inviting somebody into your home, so please feel free to share any questions you have with me.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a gentler touch, I’m comfortable with all personalities and energy levels. For the past two years, I’ve also house sat for my neighbors’ cats, making sure they’re well-fed, loved, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and at home. I’m home for the holidays, so I’m free to dedicate my days to taking care of your furry family members! I love walking (even if it’s cold out) and playing with pets. I am very attentive and hands-on with pets. I am able to detect when animals are uncomfortable. I also have experience administering medicine for pets!

Michelle took great care of our 2 dogs and our cat. She stayed over for a few days and gave them lots of attention and sent us daily update pictures and videos. We could tell she really cared about our fur babies and they were in great hands. Her communication leading up to the stay and during was really great and we’ll definitely use her again!

As a first time user with Rover, we were unsure what to expect. I saw that Haley and Tyler came with very positive reviews and had experience with Northern breeds, so my expectations were quite hopeful. We set up house sitting for our Everest as he’s getting older and had health problems during our last kennel experience. I wanted to provide him with a stress free time at home while we’re were out of town for 10 days. Haley was just phenomenal in all ways possible; from communicating, photos and videos sent, and overall care for our big guy. She ensured that he was happy and cared for, and put our minds at ease while we were far away from home. I will definitely use Haley and Tyler’s services again, and would recommend them to anyone needing personalized care for their fur babies.

Corina stayed with my senior dog and cat while I was at a work meeting. My request was a little last minute but she was great to schedule and meet/greet quickly. She took great care of my fur babies and was patient with the senior needs of the dog, who is 17 years old. She has past experience with senior dogs so that was a plus. She responded quickly when I checked on them and sent photos. The house was clean and in order when I got home and the animals were not stressed. I would book Corina again.

Nancy was amazing with our dog! We had her over the weekend while we were gone to a wedding. She sent pictures and always kept us updated on how things were going. Our home was clean when we arrived back home, just how we left it. I highly recommend Nancy!

Leo is the best. My dog looked so happy in the pictures he sent me, and even my cat came out to say hello. He's a great sitter and I always feel so safe leaving my pets and my home in his most capable hands. What a lifesaver! My pets have better friends than I do!

This was my first time using rover and Bri was absolutely amazing!! My dog Beau is reactive to other dogs so I was nervous leaving him for the first time but I was sent regular updates and photos. Bri even went above and beyond by loading my sheets so everything was perfect when I got back from my late flight 😊 I will definitely be booking again to watch him.
