About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life - playing, feeding, and cuddling! I love playing with my family's puppy and taking her for walks, and I work with her daily on sit, stay, and heel commands. I also have walked, fed, and done house visits for the dogs and cats of aunts, cousins, and neighbors. I love doggies big or small, young or old, energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, and I would love to meet yours. During these summer months, I am home from college and taking an online class, so I have lots of flexibility to visit and care for your furry friends. I am available weekdays anytime between early mornings and late afternoons, with the exception of Thursday mornings. I am usually available on Saturdays as well, and I will be in town for Fourth of July to visit your pets if you're traveling. My love for dogs and cats extends to my careful treatment of them. Since I grew up with pets and have done petsitting before, I have gained familiarity with how dogs and cats express their emotions and how to identify potentially harmful behaviors (for example, keeping your doggy away from raisins). I want your dog to have fun on their walk, your cat to get some well-deserved attention, and all of your pets to be safe and feel loved during my visit.
“Best dog walker and sitter I have ever had. She is so good with my pups. One is special needs. I would trust her with my pet no question. Anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their animals.”
“Mallorie did so awesome with our dog Leo. She was a great communicator and took him for a long walk even though it was cold out. I completely trust her and will use her again in the future.”
“We really like Joe & Christine, they did an excellence job of walking Bodie and keeping us informed about how he did on each walk. Bodie also made fast friends with them and was excited to see them. We definitely will be contacting them for our next booking of services.”

About: I'm the dog whisperer! I have been very active in dog rescue and fostering for over 6 years. I have experience with all shapes and sizes from puppies to elderly dogs. No dog is the same and should be cared for according to his/her unique personality. I have always had dogs in my life from the time I was a child and consider these guys furry people. I want to get to know as much about your dog as possible before they are placed in my care. Doggie experience is number 1 in my book. My schedule is flexible and will do everything possible to accommodate your schedule. Your pup is in great care with me. I can ensure a fun and comfortable experience for your furbabies!!
“On time. So sweet. We will use her again for sure!!”

About: I grew up with animals all my life. Both cats and dogs. As an adult, I’ve had two dogs whom I have loved and cared for.

I help friends and families with their animals but have decided to expand and would love to help with your animals! I work from home and have a flexible schedule to where I can check on your animals whenever. I’m only available for drop in visits but can do this 1-4x a day (depending on location) and can sit with your animals so they have company as well because I do this for my friend’s animals when they travel for NASCAR races on the weekend and are gone all day Sunday. I feel guilty leaving my pup so am happy to provide company for your fur babies! I am a licensed teacher and work in Ed Tech now. I am very trustworthy and responsible. I am to meet beforehand as I fully understand any reservations as that’s how I am with finding people to watch my dog when I am needing it.

About: Hi! I’m Jill, cat mom of my 10 year old tortie girl Fenley. I grew up with a miniature schnauzer and have pet sat for various friends and family over the years. I am comfortable and experienced with Bully Breeds, as well as reactive dogs and large pups. For cats - I know to slowly approach and let your kitty investigate me to build trust.

“Rosie is a very caring & responsible person. She loves animals, and is gentle but also firm with our dog, so our dog respects her commands. She walks our dog regularly, understanding how important that activity is to a young dog.

I trust (and more importantly, our dog trusts) Rosie to properly control, love, and respect the needs of our dog.”

“I highly recommend Lana as a pet sitter on Rover! She’s amazing with animals and has such a kind, calming energy that animals really respond to. I’ve seen her takes such great care of her own dog and cat, they are always so happy and friendly. She’s also been wonderful with my cat over the years. Whether she’s just visiting or helping out when I’m away, my cat absolutely adores her and gets all the pets. I always feel completely at ease knowing Lana is around, she genuinely cares. Any pet would be in excellent hands with her!”

Jennifer F.Star Sitter
“I cannot think of a better dog mom than Jennifer! As long as I have known Jennifer, she has been active in dog rescue - saving dogs from unsafe situations, fostering dogs and helping to place them in new homes. She is also very devoted to her two wonderful dogs - Danzer and Harvey. Harvey himself being a foster dog who found his home with Jennifer herself! A few weeks ago I was on vacation and boarded my 2 dogs, Becky and Argo, for 9 nights. Jennifer visited my dogs a total of 4 times over the 9 days, getting them out and playing with them to ease their stress from being separated from me and in boarding. She did this of her own accord, not for financial gain, but for the benefit of my sweet pups. I honestly could not recommend Jennifer more highly to care for dogs - mine or anyone else's!”

I highly recommend Katerina to anyone needing pet sitting services!”
