“Mica was so thorough and great with communication. I came home to a happy dog, and my house was in perfect order. I felt like my dog was in great hands with her!”


“Danielle did a great job watching our dog and two cats! She seems to really enjoy bonding with the animals. She was very communicative (which I like) and checked in with any questions throughout the week. She left the house clean and orderly. I would definitely use her again!”


About: I have taken care of multiple different types of animals- from dogs to cats to bunnies and birds! - during my life. For 16 years, I was the proud owner of an amazing Irish Setter who was both a family pet and therapy dog. He has since crossed the Rainbow Bridge but while he was here gave me a wide array of experiences from caring for young active dogs to learning how to meet senior dogs where they are in their lives. Additionally, I have two rabbits and have experience with indoor rabbit care following House Rabbit Society best practice guidelines. I'm available for *indoor* bunny sitting as well as dog care! I currently work part time as a pharmacy tech, so I have plenty of time during the week for your pup (or bun)! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. Care will obviously depend on the size, age, and usual routine of the dog in question. I find it best for older dogs to stick to a routine as much as possible, even when on walks but I am happy to mix things up if you think your dog would like a change of pace or needs some new mental stimulation! I'm also happy to work on some basic obedience (stopping at corners, not pulling on the leash, etc) with dogs by request. I only use positive reinforcement and have had great success- even teaching old dogs new tricks with this method! ******* When caring for rabbits, I abide by exotic vet-determined best practices and House Rabbit Society guidelines- which include that a rabbit MUST be housed indoors in an appropriately sized space (4x4ft minimum if not free roam). I am unable to care for rabbits housed outside.

“Tyler was great, our one dog is very skittish around anyone but us. Then I get pictures of her on his lap on the couch chilling, he must have the magic touch. Will definitely recommend and use again.”


“Jordan was great! She gave us frequent updates and photos of our dog and cat while we were away. She was also a very kind guest in our home. We will definitely be reaching out to her any other time our animals need care!”


“Ivonne was fantastic and sent pics of Kobe having fun while we were gone. It was such a relief to know I didn't have to worry about my dog while out of town.”


About: I have a lot of experience in taking care of various animals, but mostly dogs! In the past decade, I have taken care of rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, and of course, dogs and cats! I have experience in caring for dogs with arthritis, separation anxiety, and when they do not care for other dogs. Additionally, I do have experience in administering medication. As long as I have proper instructions, I can carry out the proper technique. I want the best for your pet, so you do not have to worry about them while you are away! If you’re in a bind message me! I can be flexible and try to work with you to get your pet cared for:) I am currently a college student looking for summer bookings! I will be available to spend ample time with your pets morning, noon, and night. I can also adhere to your pet's routine, if they eat, walk, or go outside at specific times, I will be flexible to what is best for them:) I will come to you! No need to pack up anything for your pet or change their schedule. Things can be hard enough for your pet when you go out of town without changing their environment too!

“Michaela did an amazing dog with our dog and cat. Our cat was just getting over a sickness and our dog was adopted one week before she came to sit for us. She eased this anxious pet parents mind and sent me updates daily on our sweet boys. We will definitely be booking again in the future ☺️”


“Megan was great! Diesel was so comfortable with her and I have not seen this level of comfort with anyone else. She did more than I asked for 🐶. I will definitely ask her sit with him again🐾 thank you 🙂”


“Erica was a great sitter! She was very responsive and had no issue with our last minute booking. She provided pictures and updates throughout the whole stay. We would definitely use her again in the future!”


“Ivonne was so attentive and caring of our cat. She made us feel reassured he’ll be well taken care of and was great at communicating. Would work with her again and recommend her to others!,”


“Susan & Holli took great care of both of our dogs and our home for a week. We received daily updates and pictures which we really appreciated. We couldn't be happier with how they took care of everything.”

About: Hi there! My name is Serena and I am a college student at Butler. I love animals and want to take the summer to get to play with as many pets as I can. I have two dogs currently and have grown up with having a dog all my life. I have a lot of experience dog sitting for those in my neighborhood and want to extend my service to Rover. Some of my experiences include walking the pet, regularly feeding the pet, providing the pet medication if needed, playing with the pet, staying in the house with the pet, and more. I would the opportunity to sit your pet! Over the summer, my schedule is almost completely open. I have a part time job with shifts no longer than 8 hours. Other than that, I would be able to provide care for the pet consistently throughout the day. I have a lot of experience with hyperactive dogs so I am used to being a constant presence in your pets life. I make sure that I spend at least 2 hours a day playing with the pet, and trying to walk the pet everyday if the owner chooses to allow that. Furthermore, I have experience sitting pets that are more mellow and don't always love that hyperactive behavior. I can sit with the pet and provide a comforting presence, or allow the dog to their own thing. I make sure that I can care for the pet based on the pets personality, not my own!

“Andrea was amazing! Great communication, sent updates and pictures of our dog. Took care of our home, removing outdoor cushions and making sure everything was ok after the storms (her initiative, was not expected to do so). My dog was happy and calm when we got home! She was absolutely wonderful!”


“Aubree was absolutely amazing, she gave so many updates through the night and my dog loved her right away. She even cleaned up his vomit (sorry girl!!) and took him on a long walk in the morning. I think my dog wishes she could move in! We will definitely be making her a regular sitter whenever she’s available :)”


About: I grew up with a dog all my life and am experienced walking dogs of different sizes and breeds! I am very athletic and able to care for the dog in any way that is physically demanding. I have a part time job and do college online, so I have a flexible schedule! I am looking to make some extra money cash before I move over seas in July! I have two cats and had a dog my whole childhood! I am very responsible pet care taker! I know how to react in different situations and make pets feel safe.


“Kendra was great - not only did she respond quickly whenever I reached out, but she followed all of my requests and needs perfectly (even the ones that were a little "extra" for the sake of my dog, Annie. Ultimately, I felt comfortable the entirety of the time she was house-sitting and I came home to a happy and healthy pup!”


About: I have years of experience caring for pets and have a natural ability to connect with animals. I am patient, attentive, and dedicated to providing the best care possible for all pets in my care. FYI, most clients rebook with me/ make arrangements/ pay outside of Rover due to the fees they charge! I'm currently working as a family nanny though I have multiple times (every 3-4 hours) in the day to drop in and care for your pets if needed. I tend to continue conversations after bookings & rebooking off of rover. I do provide photo and daily/ bi daily updates on your pets! I provide in-home pet care services where I follow the specific instructions provided by the client. This includes feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of love and attention to the pets. I make sure to follow any special care instructions, such as administering medication or following a specific feeding schedule. I also ensure that the home is kept clean and secure during my visits.
