“Marilyn provided great care for our cat while we were out of town for a week. She sent daily pictures and details of what they did during her visits. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Kensie was a very good caretaker for our shy cat Carmen. Carmen is usually very shy but she took a liking to Kensie almost right away. She also came to the house a couple more times other than our original plan to check on Carmen when she thought Carmen was sick. But those extra times were logged, so they were paid for.”
“Summer was great with both my dog and cat. She was very conscientious and always kept me up to date with pictures and descriptions of how they were doing. Highly recommend!”
About: I am the biggest animal lover! Everyone I know has relied on me to take care of their beloved fur-babies and you guys should too! I am new to Rover, but not new to animal care! I have had animals my whole life and pride myself in giving the best care. I currently am a high school social studies teacher. As an animal lover, however, I am very much looking forward to incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I have had pets my whole life and can’t wait to meet your fur-babies! I live in an apartment with two cats—Princess and Lilly. I would be happy to provide in home boarding for your cats or drop in visits! My cats are a little indifferent on dogs, however, so it would take a meet and greet before deciding on boarding a dog! With that being said, I can do walks and drop ins before and after school and on weekends. I will be happy to help in whatever way I can!
About: Teacher by day, pet whisperer always. Your pets second favorite human (after you of course.) Flexible, loving and experienced pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Professionally walked dogs for a year- but I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family forever. Long walks, belly rubs and personalized care are always part of the package. I treat your pets like family, because that is what they deserve. ' I'm a full-time teacher with a flexible schedule and a soft spot for furry companions. I have a set schedule with afternoons, evenings, and weekends and holidays off- which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! During the summer and school breaks, I am even more available for visits. I make sure your pets get the attention, care, and love they need while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat it with the same respect and care as I would my own. I stick to the pet's regular routines, mealtimes, walks, play and any other special instructions. I want them to feel comfortable and safe while you are away. I make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I'm happy to send photo or video updates so you can see how they are doing. I clean up after myself, keep things tidy, and make sure your pets (and your home!) is well cared for until you return.
About: I have an older dog named Ash I’ve had since he was a puppy. I have since then adopted two kitties named Luigi and Jo and a new dog named Calypso! I have also pet sit for years for close friends. I have also been a kennel tech for around half a year! I can give your pets any meds they may need and play with your higher energy pets! The doggy daycare I work for is about to close, so I will have plenty of time to let your dogs out! I also prefer working weekends. I will always make sure to respect your pets space and boundaries, but make sure they are safe! Making sure to follow specific care instructions is really important to me.
“Shelley was amazing with my dog who can sometimes be very skittish around new people. She has scared sitters in the past due to her barking but Shelley handled her like a champ. My dog took to Shelley right away and I appreciated knowing that she was in good hands during the day. Shelley sent many pictures and provided me with updates while she was at my house ensuring my dog got to potty, they played ball and she made sure she had food and water before she left each day. I would highly recommend Shelley and will definitely use her in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of my household dogs for 18 years. Sadly due to my father’s allergies I haven’t been able to have a cat. But have been around them in any chance I can get and have experience caring for them. I’m working part time but would love to make room for taking care of your pets. I also volunteer at St Mary’s but will do my best to fit your animal into my schedule. I can’t care for pets in my own home due to my family not wanting to be around pets at the moment. But I would love to branch out to other homes to care for your pets.
About: I have cared for several cats and dogs in my home as well as in others for 15 years. I am a mother of three with lots of love, attention & cuddles to share with your fur-babies! I currently work from home 3 days each week and as a mom of 3, am home most weekends to help take care of your fur-babies:) I live in a very safe neighborhood for long walks and have a large backyard (unfenced) to play in! All 3 of my kiddos (16,14 & 6) are true animal lovers who will also happily love on your fur-babies while visiting our home!
About: I have experience with both cats and dogs as I have both. I had a wonderful dog named Tessa. I miss her so much. She was a rescue and an amazing dog. Albany is a manx cat and was adopted at the age of 3. She is 6 now. She loved to play and can be ornery! I love fur babies and would love to help take care of your fur babies. I hope with providing this service I can give you piece of mind that your cat or dog is being taken care of. With adopting a rescue, I also had to work with some behavioral issues my dog had and feel that gave me a better understanding of her needs. I hope to speak with you soon!
About: I have two dogs of my own and one regular client that I take for walks/boarding! I’m looking to add some more dog walks and drop ins into my rotations!!! I have really firm boundaries about reactive dogs and non-dog friendly dogs and would never put your pet in a situation to fail! I have tons of recommendations and spots for quiet walks without tons of traffic to keep them entertained but not over stimulated! I also never co-walk my dogs with clients dogs or take clients dogs to public dog parks! Your pet is safe with me!! I work full-time but have flexible timing! So I’d never mind taking a break/ early lunch from work to come see your pet! And I love to stay busy on the weekends so they’d be a welcome addition to my routine! I really prefer to have a meet and greet intro that involves going to the clients home so the dog knows I’m allowed in their spaces and there’s no suprises day-of! I’m very respectful of your space (shoes off ofc) and happy to accommodate and extra needs you might have that day!
About: I am looking to provide love and care to your fur babies when you aren’t able to. I have two fur babies of my own currently and have had many in the past. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all different shapes and sizes! I look forward to meeting your fur babies and caring for them like my own. I work as a bus driver so between my morning and evening run I have plenty of time to make stop ins and check on pet and/or take them for a walk. My partner works from home which provides a flexible schedule. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to care for your pets in my home due to our young children. However, your pets safety and comfort will be a top priority for me when coming into your home to care for them.
About: As someone who has owned dogs, cats, bunnies, pigs, an axolotl, a monkey (yes a monkey); I feel well versed and confident in my abilities to give your pet all the love and care it desires. From baby stage to old age, I am willing and capable. I am a PE teacher who looks forward to sharing love for exercise with your pet! This is how I leisurely stay active and moving after work hours and during summer break. During the months of June and July, I am offering open availability to reach the needs of as many pets as possible. Whilst the school year is in session, August-May, availability moves to evenings through the week, and open availability on the weekends. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine. I make sure your furry friend feels safe, and gets plenty of attention. From daily walks and playtime to meal prep and snuggles, I provide consistent, loving care while keeping your home tidy and secure. In my home, I provide a safe, cozy, and pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Whether they’re high-energy or more laid-back, I tailor the day to their needs—with lots of playtime, cuddles, and supervision throughout. I have a large fenced in backyard that leaves lots of room for zoomies and playtime. I never leave pets unattended for long periods, and I make sure they’re always comfortable, entertained, and loved. I have a very playful Dachshund who looks forwards to play dates :) I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. As someone who desires to give back to the community in a variety of ways, I can assure you, your pet is in good hands.
