About: I have two dogs and a cat. My dogs are 55-60 pounds each. I also have experience pet sitting and house sitting for several close friends. I’m currently not working a FT or PT job. My goal is to do rover solely, so I’m available every day for most of the day. I am very attentive and operations minded which means I’m punctual and organized. I’m also extremely empathetic and loving. I would treat your pets like I treat my own - with respect, divinity, and love. Play times are my favorite so your pets will have plenty of fun time with me. If you’re open to having my dog Marley in your home I can bring him for play dates.

Our dogs are welcome on the couch and even sleep in the bed with us, and your dog will be treated exactly the same! Whether your pup prefers walks, backyard playtime, or being lazy and cuddly, we’re happy to follow their routine. Family & Environment We do have children in the home, and they are gentle, respectful, and love dogs just as much as we do. Our yard is fully fenced, and we have kennels and baby gates available if needed—your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities.

We can’t wait to welcome and spoil your fur baby! 🐾💛 We both work Full time, and would be around in the early mornings, and then back in the evening for walks, and playtime.

Addison was absolutely amazing with Phoebe. She was very thorough in her daily updates and always provided lots of pictures. I have a more anxious cat around people and she was very good at respecting her boundaries and listening to her cues. I would definitely recommend Addison to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets while they are away :)

Dawn was so wonderful caring for Penny for a second time. She was more than willing to be flexible to help with some additional medication and that made a world of difference in my peace of mind while I was away.

We recently hired Abby as our cat sitter for a one-week vacation, and we couldn’t be happier! Abby took great care of our three sweet kitties, providing them with lots of love and attention. We loved seeing what the kitties were up to each day! It was clear that our fur babies loved her, as they greeted her by the door each day! Abby kept us updated with adorable photos and messages each day - we haven’t been away from them for this long before so it really put our minds at ease. We highly recommend her for cat sitting and we will definitely reach out to her again for our next trip. Thank you Abby for being so sweet to our kitties!!

I have 6 cats and needed someone to drop in on them when I was out of town. Kendall came over for a meet and greet before the booking started to meet me and my cats. She took pictures of my cats and let me know everything was OK with my cats in the Rover cards. Thank you, Kendall! I really appreciate you caring for my cats while I was gone.

About: I've had pets for most of my life, and love all animals. We had a miniature schnauzer growing up, then in college I adopted my late cat, Boots. I recently had to say goodbye to my 12.5 year old GSD mix, Gabby. Gabby was my soul dog, and I cared for her like she was my child. Both Boots and Gabby had different health issues in their later years, so I have experience administering meds, giving feline subcutaneous fluids and have used canine mobility aids (help em up harness and wheelchair). I absolutely love watching my friends and families pets and am proud to be my friends' top choice for pet sitting while they are gone or busy. Safety is my top priority along with making sure they get the attention and exercise they need everyday. Now that I don't have any pets of my own, it would bring me great joy to help you with yours. I hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I am currently open at any time during the week and weekends as I freelance and work from home. I prefer daytime hours from 7am to 9pm, unless I am boarding your pet at my home. I'm a highly responsible and reliable person. I take pride in the way I care for animals, and have safety and comfort at top of mind. If I board your pets, I have a fenced-in back yard and a dog friendly yard/garden. If I come to your home to walk or watch your pet, security will also be top priority.

Anaiah saved the day. Literally. I was experiencing some issues after a major surgery and the Rover person I had scheduled didn't show up so I was desperate. Anaiah was here in twenty minutes to take them out and then came back a little later to take them for a walk. I'm sooooo impressed!

About: I am currently on maternity leave and have to work around my husband’s work schedule but am in need of time outside the house! I'm also offering home care when you are away for vacation, or just got a busy day at work. I can go back and forth to check on your pooch. I have two pups now: Loki and his brother Niko, 8 year old mini Australian Shepherds. Message me and we can find the right service for you! My husband works part time at a hospital but I am available most mornings until April as I am on maternity leave. I was previously on Rover and love meeting other dogs and being able to get out and walk! In your home, I ask for detailed instructions to help keep continuity and familiarity for your animal. If the service is long term I do ask to meet your pets before hand

Mad did a drop by visit with our two dogs, in preparation for a longer stay ahead with them. Mad was conscientious and attentive with our dogs, and very willing to do what was necessary to help them feel comfortable (especially one of our dogs, who finds meeting new people a little scary). Mad clearly understands dogs and has a wealth of experience to draw from. We feel confident our dogs are in good hands!

Katelyn has been great helping me out with my dog, Jaxx. She’s reliable, caring, and always makes the process easy for me. Even on short notice, she’s been available and willing to help, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing Jaxx is in good hands. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter or walker.

Noah was available to feed and walk our cavalier spaniels with just a few hours notice. We were so grateful! He even walked them a little extra to get them to pee and poop. We were impressed with Noah’s professionalism and his care. He also took great photos of our doggies. We will request Noah again. Thank you!!
