About: I have had a strong love and passion for animals ever since I was young, and have taken care of many different animals throughout my life. I have completed 1 year of Veterinary Technician School, and had experience working in a Veterinary setting. I am very proficient in the care of dogs and cats, old and young! I am excited to start working with you and your pet(s)! If you have any questions feel free to reach out! I am looking to provide my services part time, I have the most availability during the week and some weekends! I do not do overnight stays but can check in frequently, depending on your pets needs. As a sitter for Rover, my main focus is your pets safety, comfort, and happiness. I create a calm, secure environment where your pet will feel loved and at home. You can trust that I will treat your pet just as my own, keeping their well-being my top priority!
About: I have taken care of dogs, pigs, chickens, cats, birds and fish for my family and for friends. I also have a Persian senior cat at home :) I am currently unemployed so I am available most of the time other than taking care of my family. I am looking for check ins, I can feed, walk, play, etc. and clean up after animals. I don’t mind multiple animals at one time. I go on long walks every day now and need a partner! I love older animals as well as babies. I have come to raise kittens and puppies and help teach potty training and good manners. Tricks too.
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to my own fur family, I've watched several other's fur babies for the past 10 years. I work from home, so I'm home the majority of the time. That means your animals always get the attention they need, plus always another animal for companionship. I don't have a fenced yard, but I ALWAYS tether or take them out on a leash when at my home. I do like to give treats like kongs for added stimulation as well. I do have crates or have room for crates for sleeping or if they need alone time.
“Sonja was terrific! She stayed with our cat Jingle for 3 weeks while we were on vacation. She communicated well, sent photo updates, cleaned house, watered plants and cleaned up Jingle’s, umm, dead critters in the house! She went above and beyond what was expected and I would recommend her whole heartedly!! Thanks, Sonja😍”
About: I have dog sat all types of dogs biggest being a Great Dane and the smallest a Chihuahua. I am very open to dog sitting any dog! I am currently working full time at the college of dentistry but I get off work at 5 everyday and have weekends and holidays off. I live in an apartment so I wouldn’t be able to board your dogs but I am very respectful of someone’s home and will take great care of your dogs.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always enjoyed taking care of them. I've taken care of old dogs, puppies, and dogs in their prime. I love taking dogs on walks, especially if I can run with them. Getting outside is great. I'm a busy guy, but any second I'm not working is a waste. I work overnights during weekdays and part-time jobs every day except Sunday. I hope pet care can fill the gaps in my schedule. I don't board now because of the rules of my landlord, but I will stay in other homes and get dogs outside whenever I can. I love taking dogs to the park and getting them exercise.

I have had customers who prefer me to stay and live in the house with the pets, or others will just have me come check in on them a couple times a day, feed / let them out etc
“Shelly is Awesome! You couldn’t ask for a more reliable and attentive caregiver! I highly recommend her. She cared for my two kitties, both are very old and fragile and I felt confident that they were well cared for!”
About: I showed pitbulls semi professionally when I was a teenager. I have lived on a farm most my life so animals and I always get along. I'm currently working from home as a Game Developer. I am on a rugby team that practices Tuesday/Thursday 6-8pm and games on Saturdays, so there are a few select times I'm not available. I have a Husky who loves making new friends and 2 cats that are indifferent to others. I enjoy spending time with animals whether its cuddles, active play, or just sitting in the room so they aren't lonely.
About: Being in the military not only have I had special training with bigger dogs but also having close relatives with ESA (emotional support animals) I have always been very close and caring of animals as they are the most pure hearted things on the planet Currently all days are available and am willing to watch on weekends as well animals are the key to the soul and I’m excited they are apart of our lives I live not to far from a dog park and have many toys and space for animals I have a caring girlfriend as well who is very supportive of animals
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.

“Fawn always goes above and beyond when animal sitting for us. I’m a rover sitter myself and recommend her to friends because she is just AWESOME!”
Natalie T.
“Natalie has pet and house sat for us numerous times! There's not enough amazing things to say about her. She genuinely takes care of our fur babies as if they are her own. I know they will not just be taken care of, but spoiled, cuddled and loved while we are gone. She helped us with 3 large dogs and 4 cats, even our most timid cat was cuddling up on her lap in no time! I also know that I can fully trust her in our home while we are gone, she's truly the only person I would call to take care of our babies and home! You'd be lucky to have someone as wonderful as her to rely on while you're out!”

Whether we need a pet sitter for a weekend away or for a two week vacation, she has been our go-to dog sitter for several years.”

Stormy C.
“Stormy is my go-to dogsitter. I have a 3 year old coon-hound mix with very high energy. Stormy is very responsible and respectful. He treats my dog with the love and compassion he deserves. Stormy loves to be outside so my dog, high energy and all, gets plenty of walks and exercise. It's relaxing to know that while I'm at work, my dog is taken care of and has had the needed exercise by the time we get home. I would definitely recommend contacting Stormy for any of your dogsitting needs!”
