About: Pets bring comfort and joy to your home! You deserve a sitter you can trust and will care for your pet as thoughtfully as you would. I'm currently working part time, so have plenty of free time to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible to meet your needs. My own cat is joyful fluffball who makes me smile everyday. I also take care of my sister's dog when she needs help. I love animals and will enjoy taking care of your pet.
About: I bring a lifelong love of animals and a wide range of hands-on experience. I grew up caring for animals of all kinds, have walked dogs and supported adoptions in shelter environments, and have provided reliable in-home care through years of house sitting. I’ve also lived with and fostered cats for most of my life—including young, feral, and undersocialized ones—which has given me a strong intuition for reading animal behavior and offering calm, compassionate care. I'm skilled in administering all types of medications and am happy to handle the day-to-day tasks, from walks to litter box deep cleans, with real care and attention. As a self-employed person with a very flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to tailor my availability to meet the specific needs of each pet and household, whether it’s daily visits, drop-ins, or walks at off-peak hours. When boarding cats in my home, I provide a calm, private room just for them—completely separate from my own cats—to ensure they feel safe and stress-free during their stay. In a client’s home, I’m attentive to any specific routines or safety needs, including crating dogs if requested. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort and well-being, keeping their environment clean, secure, and aligned with what they're used to.

About: I have extensive experience with a wide range of animals. I have had dogs since childhood and currently have two of my own.

There’s tons of field space in the back for your puppies to run around and play.

About: Hi! I have been taking care of animals for years whether it’s training, dog-walking, fostering, or dropping in to dog or cat sit. I am a current college student entering my second year and am an owner to 3 amazing cats and 1 beautiful dog at home. I have dealt with young puppies and my step-father himself is a dog trainer. I have learned a lot from both him and taking care of various family, friends, and neighbors pets. I am eager to spend some time with your pets and make sure they feel happy, healthy, safe, and spoiled like I treat my own. Currently as I am home from college and just unwinding I am available 24/7 all seven days a week! I can be super flexible and am able to drive anywhere within a 20 mile radius. In a clients home I will care for pets like my own but with any instructions, quirky dinner routines, or mandatory bedtime belly rubs needed. Even if you have a puppy or kitten and have no routine at all yet I can be flexible with that!
“Lorraine had a great rapport with both dogs. She was very responsive to us, and communicated promptly, thoroughly and clearly. Would highly recommend.”
About: Growing up, we had dogs, cats, hamsters, and a lizard, so I'm a friend to all creatures furry and scaly. As a student, it is hard to rationalize adopting a pet, but Rover gives me the opportunity to do what I love - spend time with animals. My partner and I had a shared Rover account for over a year in which I had the opportunity to care for young pups, older dogs with medical needs, and cats. I provide owners with a safe place/walk/drop-in-visit in which they can rest easy knowing their pet is in good hands. I just graduated from school and am currently looking for a job. I have a lot of free time to spend getting to know and looking after your pet! I have a partially fenced yard with space run around. I also live in a safe neighborhood for lots of walks and play time. Pups can expect to spend time outside if that's what they enjoy! I am happy to work with you and your pet to provide the best care possible. Please let me know what you need!

Margaret T.
“When I needed help with walking my family’s dog, Baxter, while I worked Maggie was awesome. Not only did she take Baxter out, feed him, and play with him but she also took the extra effort to drive him to a park with a awesome walking trail nearby which he got way more exercise then usual! Overall, she was flexible, friendly, and really great with Baxter who is definitely on the older side.”
