This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of working with Natalie and I didn’t think it was possible for things to get any better, but she is absolutely amazing! Excellent communication! She takes care of my fur babies as though they were her own. Would highly recommend her!

About: I’ve always been very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I previously worked as a pet sitter caring for a home with 7 cats and understand how important routine, cleanliness, patience, and attention are for pets while their owners are away. I also volunteer with Catsbury Park cat rescue and currently care for 6 cats of my own, so I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I already care for multiple cats of my own every day. I’m currently available Wednesday evenings, Thursdays, and Fridays for drop-in visits and pet sitting. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets are fed, comfortable, and given attention while their owners are away. I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet I care for. I understand how important routines are for animals, especially cats, and I carefully follow feeding instructions, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and focus on making pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: Hi! I’ve owned, cared for, groomed, trained, and boarded dogs of all breeds for over 20 years. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior snuggler, I treat every fur baby like they’re my own family. In addition to dog sitting and boarding, I also offer daily dog walks and runs—perfect for pups who need a bathroom break, exercise, or just some fresh air and love while you're at work or away. I’m available for midday walks, morning strolls, evening outings, or energetic runs, and I tailor each outing to your dog’s energy level and needs. I’m familiar with handling all kinds of dogs—from leash pullers to laid-back seniors—and I’m happy to accommodate special requests. Whether your pup loves the park, a quiet neighborhood stroll, or a brisk jog, I’ve got you covered. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving your dog plenty of attention and companionship, I’m available to make sure their needs are met consistently. My routine revolves around providing a calm, loving environment where each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. You can rest easy knowing your dog will be treated like family—with the utmost love, attention, and care—whether we’re snuggled up at home or out on an adventure together. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Tail wags and happy paws guaranteed!

About: I worked at a pet store and dog sat all through high school, so I’m very attentive to different pup’s needs, especially ones with dietary restrictions and other physical or mental health needs. My schedule is very open, since I’m on summer break from my regular full time job as a student :). I’m available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, well fed, and exercised! I have a lot of experience handling dogs with varied personalities and needs, so a lot of how I’ll take care of them will depend on the individual pup.

Stephanie was great - very available and responsive, kept me up to date every day we were gone (even when that was days of mostly “the food magically disappeared overnight and poop appeared in the correct place, so I’m confident your invisible cat is alive”), and extremely flexible when I texted her in a panic asking her to do something extra for me. And I was never less than highly confident that she’d take great care of him.

About: 🏆 20+ yrs Experience !! BIG FENCED IN YARD !! *** SPECIALIZE IN LONG STAYS *** I love and respect each animal for who they are as I do people. I am confident when caring for any pet that we will respect and understand one another, I gage their demeanor and temperament and than go from there. I keep a calm and clean (but lived in) home and I utilize my big fenced in yard to it's fullest!! I love playing catch with the dogs and the cats I let them do their thing whether it's cuddling on the couch or if they are skiddish or shy I let them be until they are comfortable enough to be approached or to approach me. I also can give baths and trim nails! Need a sitter who has a big heart and a big yard? Call me! I have a semi flexible work schedule and I'm 10 mins from my house. I pop in and out during work hours and I'm home everyday and night 24/7 Cameras inside and out to keep an eye on the woof pack!! I am diligent on our daily schedule and bc of this the pups usually seem to get it after a day or two tops. I think sticking to a regimented schedule calms them almost immediately. Once they all have there “spot” where they sleep and eat the anxiety level instantly drops a few levels for every one of them. I have a large secure fenced in yard very open for running, playing catch or Frisbee, I can brush or bath any pet for you and I also offer nail trimming. Big bowls of fresh FILTERED water inside and out changed several times a day. I am diligent on dietary restrictions. Every day i make one on one time for each and every pup, they really love and appreciate it! i totally get that they need that time especially before bed. (I tuck them all in)

Amber was fantastic! She and Loki got along right away at the Meet-and-Greet, which we weren't sure about since he hasn't met many new folks since we brought him home from the shelter. We greatly appreciated the photos each day, and Loki seemed to enjoy Amber's company and evening pets. This was our first time booking a cat sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with Amber again.

Pet care is a big part of my day to day. I walk my girly multiple times a day so I don’t mind helping others. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are when I would be available. Showing affection and love first is important. I want to let them come to me when I first meet them so they are comfortable. Making sure their basic needs are met. Potty, food, lots of love. check, check, check.

About: As an Air Force veteran with over 6 years of service, I bring reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail into every pet care experience. I’ve had dogs my entire life and also have experience caring for cats, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I regularly dog and cat sit for my spouse’s coworkers, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures, including administering medication twice a day, so I’m comfortable following special care instructions and keeping a close eye on pets who may need extra attention or medical support. I am a full-time online student, which means I’ll be home throughout the day and able to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I have a fenced-in yard for supervised playtime and exercise, along with two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with respect and care.

About: I had a multiple dogs growing up, one who is 11 years old now, and also just became a new Fur Mom to an 8 month old golden retriever (who has put me through the wringer so far). I am an animal lover and just want to be helpful since I use rover myself for sitters, and i figured I’d be just as helpful as the many sitters on here have been for me!! I work full time but that is just 3 days a week, so any other day I am available most of the day to accommodate your fur babies! My schedule does change every week though I live in an apartment complex but have access to a dog park within the complex and will be able to take your pups to local dog parks as well

About: Hi! I’m an 18 year old student who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ve grown up with cats and have experience with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and understanding animal behavior and moods. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I always try to match each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and need a calm presence. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat them like my own. I’m responsible, reliable, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and stress-free in your absence! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I already structure my day around responsibility, consistency, and being attentive to details. I’m used to keeping a steady routine, so adding feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins for pets feels very natural to me. I enjoy spending time with animals, so it never feels like a chore, it becomes something I genuinely look forward to throughout the day. In my home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I follow their normal feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, keep their space clean, and give them lots of attention, play, and affection depending on their personality. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of routines and instructions. I stick closely to the pet’s usual schedule so they feel secure in their own environment. I double-check everything: food, water, walks, litter boxes, medications if needed, and I always make sure pets get not just care, but companionship so they don’t feel alone while their owner is away.

Mirella did a fantastic job pet sitting our two guinea pigs over Christmas. One of our pigs is elderly and has health issues, and Mirella handled them very professionally and compassionately. We felt so much better traveling knowing that our pigs were in good hands at home. Thank you!!

About: I have hands-on experience as a vet assistant and love caring for pets of all ages. From playful pups to seniors, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. As a vet assistant and student, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I’m home most of the week and available Tuesdays and Thursdays after 11 AM, plus often all day Friday - Sunday. Since I already care for my own dogs daily, giving other pets love, walks, and attention is an easy and fun part of my routine. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I’ll follow their routine, give plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and keep things clean and secure. With my vet assistant experience, I bring extra care and attention, treating every pet like my own.

About: Hi, my name is James and I am an active and energetic animal lover that has had dogs and cats my entire life. In addition to my own pets, my wife and I have fostered with local dog and cat rescues for the past 10 years. My love for animals doesn't stop there, I have worked in the zoological industry for the past 20 years. My first 15 years as a zookeeper and the last 5 as a zoo curator.

Otherwise, I am available for any morning and evening care that is wanted. I'd prefer not to take care of any pets in my home for the time being due to the fact that we have several fosters, as well as our own pets.
