About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and grew up volunteering in shelters and working at a kennel. I am completely comfortable around both cats and dogs, and I occasionally foster both through my local shelter while they wait for their forever homes. I’m experienced and certified in basic dog training for puppies. I am able to administer dog CPR and basic first aid in case of emergency. I’d be happy and proud to take care of your pet(s) for you. I am extremely flexible, and able to work with most schedules. I can do set schedules as well as one-time as needed schedules. Willing to work with my clients for whatever fits their needs. I am located very close to two pet friendly parks, and an extremely walkable neighborhood that has ample amounts of sidewalks. I love hanging out high energy animals that need a lot of play time as well as just relaxing on the couch with more low key pets!

Thanks to Kelly for visiting my house and checking on my two cats, Lunar and Dude. She took the time to clean out the litter box, top off food and water along with sending a few pictures of them and playing with Lunar. I recommend Kelly for drop-in visits!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 3 years old, starting with feeding feral kittens formula from my doll's bottles. I preferred taking care of the kittens, dressing them in the doll clothes instead of playing with boring inanimate objects with crazy eyes lol. I have always been a dog & mom since my earliest memories, working up to horses for 30 years in my middle 20's until lasts death 10 years ago. I am currently the mom of 3 cats and 2 dogs. Who i arrange my life around their needs. I have a very flexible work schedule which allows me to add other's animals to my schedule. Being an animal mom, the hardest part of enjoying travel, is trusting someone with my babies. I hope to provide trust and dependability, so you may enjoy your travel carefree. Most animals seem to be naturally attracted to me, I make animal friends extremely easy. I am self employed, totally im control of my schedule. I arrange my clients appointments around animal obligations. I am single so overnight stays are not a problem for me. I have a live in roommate that cares for my animals, while I care for yours. I sit at people's homes, I do not bring other animals into my environment. I do have an outbuilding with a fenced large dog fennel 10ft tall, the building is 40ft × 20ft with electric if someone absolutely needed me to board. My starts with breakfast at 6am, dogs go for a potty break and walk, at noon I take them for another potty break & walk. After work we have a potty break, walk, then dinner. We go to potty as needed until bedtime

Jasmine was great. I've not had to use a pet sitter prior and she was very communicative during the entirety of the drop in visits. My location isn't set up to provide easy access to guests, but Jasmine was very accommodating to make certain that my cat was taken care of.

Brittany was fantastic 😁! She took the time to come for a pre-visit since we had not met before. In addition to feeding our cats, she fed our fish, checked on our chickens and brought in a package that was delivered. She provided daily updates and tried to get pictures even though the kitties didn't cooperate! I really appreciate her care for our pets while we were gone. This is my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. I would recommend Brittany and I will definitely request her again if we have another need in the future.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals. I’ve lived on a farm my entire life, been a dedicated dog owner since age eight, and am a 10-year 4-H member. I have hands-on experience with everything from training energetic puppies to caring for senior dogs with special needs.

My schedule is completely open! Morning, afternoon, or evening, I can be there! I provide safe, personalized care based on each pet’s needs—whether in my home or yours. I follow routines, give plenty of attention, and ensure a calm, loving environment. I prioritize exercise, feeding schedules, and comfort, keeping pets happy and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I have worked with animals as long as I can remember. I graduated with an Animal sciences degree at one of the only AZA (American Zoological Association) accredited Colleges/Schools in the United States. I have worked with a wide variety of species, including Venomous Reptiles, Fruit Bats, hoof-stock, primates and raptors. After I had children I switched to working with vets and worked for an AAHA accredited practice in Florida as a vet technician. I currently have two Labrador Retrievers. They enjoy long walks and playing in the snow. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of animals, including any exotics that may need cared for. Please reach out and connect with any animal questions you may have. And i look forward to meeting you and furry feathered or scaled creatures.

Elizabeth did a great job, again! She visits the cats, takes care of food, water, and litter. My cats are typically shy but she makes an effort to find them if they don't come out of their hiding places. Highly recommend.
