Mal did a great job taking care of our four cats! She was responsive, spent extra time there, was able to give our fiesty cat her medication, and went above and beyond keeping everything clean and giving us updates! We will definitely book with her again!

About: I have taken care of dogs in a veterinary hospital setting and cared for cats, horses, and guinea pigs in a domestic setting. I'm comfortable with most animals as long as I know a bit about them and their needs. I'd love to meet your furry ones! I work part time and remotely so I have a large amount of flexibility. I can often get my work done while caring for animals. I'd love to take care of your animals no matter their health and safety needs. I have experience administering medicine to cats and dogs and can accommodate animals that need a lot of physical activity. I'd be more than happy to provide as many updates on your pets as you like.

Katelyn really was taken with the boys and they with her. She played with them and cuddled, then sent pictures every day. I never felt a moments worry, I had complete confidence in Katelyn and I wasn’t disappointed. Would re-book with her in a heartbeat!

About: I was a professional horse trainer as a living for 25 years.I also ran my own farm and pet sitting business for years. I’m able to read and adapt to animals dispositions accordingly in a kind, gentle and safe manner. I had the honor of caring and training some of the best horses in the United States, and have been live in management on farms. Being that position, I was trusted to take care of every kind of animal you can imagine, even a zebra! I’m also comfortable around all sizes of dogs, and can handle difficult situations. I will always put your animals welfare and safety first. I work for the Post Office part time, and we are empty nesters. Therefore I’m looking forward to getting back into something I am passionate about, mornings and evenings 7 days a week availability. I prefer to care for pets at my clients home, I feel as though your pet will feel more comfortable and safe in their own surroundings.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life (as well as a few chinchillas, parakeets, racoons, fish, etc.) I love all animals and look forward to caring for yours. I recently retired so I have maximum flexibility to meet your needs. Weekdays or weekends are fine. Long-term or short-term both work for me. I am flexible. I live a short distance from a dog park and walking path. Let me know any of your pets special needs and I would be happy to accommodate them.

About: While I am new to Rover-I am not new to taking care of pets. I’ve been in your position. I have been blessed to have had an amazing cat and the sweetest dog for 12+ years. Peace of mind that your pet is cared for, when you are away, is invaluable. I’m here when you need me. I am semi retired. I will be happy to walk, play with, and care for your pet. I can also help out with daily things while you are away such as bringing in mail, taking out garbage, watering plants etc. in the past I have been helpful in cases of power outages (food spoilage) and water heater leakage mishaps. Once established, I would consider longer stays for pets who require more companionship. Respect and Responsibility are of utmost importance to me. I value the meet and greet process and look forward to providing the best service while you are away.

About: I am a firm believer that pets are family members and should be treated as such. I grew up always having a dog in the house. I am a very loving and caring person and have always found comfort in having a pet around and taking care of them. I have two dogs of my own and two guinea pigs. They are my world and are very spoiled. I have experience in giving medication or special care as mine require that as well, feeding, bathing, and walking. I work three 12 hour shifts a week and one weekend a month so I have plenty of open opportunities to take care of your fur babies! I am committed into following any certain order or instructions you are willing to give me in taking care of your pet. I am passionate in keeping your animal comfortable in the environment that they know and love.

About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

About: Hi, my name is Emily. I am a reliable, responsible college student who has been taking care of personal, family and neighborhood dogs for over 8 years. Beyond pet sitting, my love and devotion for animals doesn’t stop at your door. I hope to extend this passion by volunteering abroad. I look forward to meeting your fur family members! I’m currently completing college online. My schedule is flexible as I am home majority of the time completing school and spending time with my dogs! I have two 12 year old Miniature Schnauzers who are apart of my family, and I couldn't care more for them. I assure you that I will care for your pet as I do my own. I insure your pet will be exercised, played with, fed, and cared for properly. I am more than happy to follow any additional guidelines they may have!

About: I have a four year old lab and a three year old rescue pit mix. The three of us walk daily and are always working on leash manners. My rescue pup is reactive so I have experience managing that behavior in the home and on walks. I work full time and am available for early morning walks or care as well as late afternoon/evenings. I have weekends off and can generally work with your schedule. I am happy to follow your requests and house rules to keep your fur baby happy and healthy. I enjoy being outside so walks and outdoor playtime are always part of my routine.
