About: I come from a dog loving family with over 25 years of experience. I love pet sitting and our own dogs love the company of new friends! My home is on 10 acres with lots of room to stretch our legs! Daily walks, playing fetch, and a comfy dog bed to sleep on! I will only crate your pet if I leave the home to run to the store or if that’s where they are used to sleeping. Dogs of all ages and breeds are welcome! Cats too! I work from home so am here 24/7. We take lots of breaks for walks and play time! If we must leave, we are gone for no more than an hour or two to run errands. Our pets are beyond spoiled. Our older dogs have free reign of the 10 acres unless kenneled when we leave. They all get lots of belly rubs and their own beds to rest on.
“Cassidy made 4 trips to tend our two cats. Because the cats are so skittish, she wasn't able to interact with them, but she kept them fed and watered and she brought in our mail and newspapers. The cats were in good shape when we got home.”
“My 2nd time having Abby look over my cat at my own house while I was out of town. I can easily say I will always request her moving forward because I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing as great of a job as she did! I loved how much she communicated with me about her visits and made sure that felt comfortable through the entire process.”
About: Since 16 I have pet set for friends, and do it for coworkers regularly now. I love all animals and welcome them into my home My husband only works weekends, so he is home all day most days and I’m off on weekends so I can take care of the animals My two dogs are well behaved. They love tiny dogs most but equally get along with big dogs. They have manners but could use some work.
“Katelynn was lovely and took great care of my three feline babies. She made sure that the girls were well fed and followed my instructions closely. Katelynn also sent pics during the stay so I knew that the babies were doing well. I will definitely be using her services in the near future.”
About: Hi! I am a college student. I grew up with three dogs, seven horses, two cats, and chickens at my house. My parents are wanting me to wait until I graduate to get a pet of my own. So in the mean time, I would love to help you guys out. I love animals and can ensure you that I will take care of and love on your pets just like you would. I do not have a job, just classes. This means I will be available to play, feed, walk and more! I have been pet sitting regularly for about a year now and really enjoy it. I hope you will let me help you out! You can message me with any questions you may have!
“Lexi was so good to my 2 cats. She went above and beyond what I expected from her. She was very easy to talk to. I would recommend her 10/10! It's so nice to know I have found a trustworthy person to watch over my beloved cats! She also cleans houses! Next time I will probably pay her extra to clean when I'm gone. So grateful I found her on Rover!”
“Cory was beyond amazing! She took great care of our 2 cats when we were gone for a week. She came over to meet them before watching them and they instantly loved her (they're usually very shy around strangers, so it was surprising!!). You could tell that she genuinely cared about them while we were gone. We will absolutely be having her care for them again in the future!! Thanks Cory!:)”
“Caitlin did an excellent job and had no problem handling our complex entry/exit procedures. She came by in advance to meet our cat Nitro and learn all of this preferences. We got pictures and written updates on each visit. We will be using her again!”
About: My name is Neha, I’m a recent pharmacy graduate who is looking to find some amazing, cute pets to sit! I don’t have any pets, so I am eager to take every opportunity that I can to look after some cute fur babies! I am very kind, responsible, understanding, and will work with you! Although I do not have any pets, my desire is to have my own pet in a few years after I am more settled down! Taking care of your pets would give me the opportunity to experience what having a pet is like and all the responsibilities that come along with it. I love dogs of any shape or size. 🐾 I am currently not working and am just using my time to study for my upcoming pharmacy board exams from home. Pet sitting would give me some excitement to look forward to in my usual day to day routine. I make sure to follow the schedule as laid out by the pets owners. I will also continue to ask questions and provide updates regarding the pets to owners.

“Mykayla is first and for most a dog and cat lover! From raising a kitten from birth by bottle to playing fetch in the yard with her dog Sarge, she really has a passion for animals! She has also worked at a veterinarians office for 5 years, so safe to say, she knows what she's doing. Can not go wrong with Mykayla watching over your fur babies. She'll treat them like one of her own!!! Highly recommend!!!”
