“I am absolutely thrilled to have found Pete through Rover's service. I have three very emotionally needy cats, one of which is nearly 20 years old. I am new to this area and didn't know anyone locally to watch them. I have not allowed myself to go on vacation for quite some time, and was overdue. I was very nervous about trusting a stranger, but Rover gave me confidence that they screen every one. Turns out that Pete is a retired insurance industry executive and demonstrated real professionalism when making arrangements to watch my cats. He sent me pictures of them every day while I was gone. I came home to find three very well fed, contented cats with a nice clean feeding area. Job well done, my confidence was well-placed. I will hire Pete again and i think I'll begin traveling more.”
“Emma took really good care of our fur babies!”

“Emma was fantastic! She took great care of my cat, sent pictures, and even brought a package which arrived early inside for me. Thanks much!”
About: Hi I’m Reise!! I am experienced with caring for cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and hamsters. I have rescued quite a few furry friends over the years and found them amazing FUR-EVER homes! ❤️ I’m not looking to foster at this time but wouldn’t mind boarding a dog or two here and there while their people are on vacation or work trips! I could also do house visits as well as walking. I’m really down for anything and love animals. I have 2 dogs right now but I love animals so much it’s my passion to make a small difference and find animals close to home to work with and take on walks while their owner may be busy. I’m a stay at home mom, so when I say I have the free time I really mean it and would love to help. I hope you choose me to care for your pet, I really look forward to talking with and meeting you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!! :) I am free all the time!!! I’m a stay at home mom. Sundays we usually have family time for a few hours and like to have breakfast all together.. other than that I am free! :) My dogs have a fenced in yard and run to ensure their safety while playing outside. It’s not that I feel my dogs are unsafe, but you never know how someone else’s dog walking by might react when there are dogs outside already. I use StarMark collars on my dogs, these collars guarantee that they won’t and can’t really slip away, these collars are great especially if your dog pulls, my dog used to pull a lot and I was able to get him to do great while walking. I love being able to work with dogs 1 on 1 at first so they can get learn to trust me and feel safe!! Both of my dogs are extremely friendly. Bear is the most gentle giant and Daisy is just the sweetest girl ever. I would love to get to know you & your animals.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life as my family always had a dog. I have helped raise puppies and taken care of all dogs, indoor and outdoor. I have so much fun with dogs and love taking them with me on walks! I currently am a college students who has class during the days, but my classes only take around 3 hours a day. On thursdays, I do have a job I work during the day from 7 am- 3pm. I also do have a part time job that’s schedule changes week to week but currently I’m not working much there! Regardless if you let your dog out in your yard without a leash, I will be requiring a leash (if there are no fences) to keep your dog safe and others around safe. I especially think play time and walking tim are important for animals and their health! I will not be someone who pops in and out super fast and I will build a connection with your pets!
About: Ever since I was little, I have loved animals. I grew up with at least one pet in the house since I can remember. Animal care is basically second nature to me now, and I would love to spread that care to other's pets! I currently have a part-time job, so I have plenty of time for your pets! Taking care of pets has always been the norm for me, so adding more pets to my schedule would be so fulfilling! Having my services in your own home is the best way to keep your pets calm, safe and worry-free. Everything your pet needs is right there!
“Absolutely great!”
About: I’ve grown up showing and raising all kinds of animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals, cows pigs, goats, and of course smaller animals like cats and dogs. But I love all of them and have gotten very familiar with taking care of animals, and making sure they’re comfortable as well. I live on a farm, so pet care is part of my daily life anyways, and I’m used to having to fit that into my schedule, even when busy, so if I have another to take care of, that’s no issue! My animals are definitely cared for. They have a huge yard with plenty of room to run; and plenty of companions. They are played with and they get lots of love, and your pet would be no different.
“Camille took excellent care of our two cats. One required daily meds and she was very diligent about getting her the meds.”
About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!
About: I have taken care of family pets and friends' pets since I was 10. I have always had a love for dogs. Up until the past couple of years it has grown and I want to help others out. I have educated myself with knowledge. And am willing to help you find solutions on problems you may be having. I'm currently working full-time. But given my work shift, I am off at 1 pm. This gives me time to help others who are at work and may not have the option to come home and take them out for a potty break. Or take them for a walk. I have 2 playful pups at home who love to play and go on walks. It's always my priority for them to be happy and healthy. And I want that for everyone's pet.
About: I've had cats my entire life, giving me a deep understanding of their needs. Over the past six years, I’ve cared for hospice cats and managed various health issues, including administering insulin and medications. Working from home allows me to provide constant care and attention, with plenty of toys and enrichment activities. My cozy home is shared with three friendly cats—two seniors (12 & 14) and a recently adopted 5-year-old—who all get along well with others. I’ve created hidey holes for shy kitties to feel secure. I maintain a clean environment, deep cleaning litter boxes weekly and scooping them twice a day. We have three litter boxes (one upstairs and two downstairs) and keep fresh water and dry food available on both levels. If your cat has specific dietary needs or a feeding schedule, I’m happy to accommodate that. Living in a quiet country setting, I can offer a peaceful environment. For adventurous cats, I have a pet stroller and can take them on walks if they enjoy the outdoors! I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. I make time for walks and play sessions throughout the day, ensuring that my own cats—and any visiting cats—get plenty of attention and enrichment. Whether it's a quick game of chase with a toy or a leisurely stroll in the pet stroller, I prioritize quality time with the kitties. This flexibility means I can cater to each cat's individual needs and preferences, making their care both enjoyable and fulfilling for everyone involved. In my home, I create a safe and stimulating environment for cats. With plenty of toys, scratching posts, and cozy hidey holes, window perches, my space encourages play and relaxation. I maintain a clean environment by deep cleaning litter boxes weekly and scooping them twice a day, ensuring fresh water and dry food are available at all times. When caring for cats in clients' homes, I follow a similar routine. I prioritize keeping the space tidy and comfortable, while sticking to any specific dietary or care instructions provided. I engage with the cats through playtime, enrichment activities, and cuddles, ensuring they feel loved and secure. I also make sure to check in regularly, keeping an eye on their health and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I strive to provide personalized care that meets each cat's unique needs, ensuring they feel happy and safe while you're away.
“Julie took care of my two cats while I was away on vacation. She sent me updates every day and took the time to play with my rowdy 2-year-old cat to help him release his pent-up energy. It was great knowing that they were in such good hands while I was away!”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life. From the moment I was born I grew up with Doberman Pinschers so big dogs don’t scare me off. Just recently I’ve gotten a miniature dachshund and she is the best of friends with my current male Doberman. I live up to the challenge if you have a dog with some health issues. I’ve been through it personally with my own so if I need to administer medication it’s no problem at all. Potty breaks I make sure are frequent as I’m still trying to potty train my little one as she’s very stubborn about it. I welcome working with cats as well! I’ve never had one, however, I have lots of family and friends who do for which I am constantly around. If you also have pets that aren’t cats or dogs I would love to help you out! More often available on the weekends or a day during the week on Wednesday on my days off from work. If you have specific days in mine I will need to know ahead of time. I can stop by early in the morning before work and then after work (no more than 9 hours at most between) I have not yet cared for clients pets in my own home, looking to build up a bigger portfolio before doing moving forward with that
About: I’ve taken great care of animals for a very long time. I treat animals like they are my family. I’m always there to care for them and give them the love and care they deserve I would like this to be my full time job. I have a lot of time through out the day and week. I’m usually always free. I have 3 cats of my own. I always make sure they have food and fresh water and would do the same for anyone else’s animals.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats, all of my life. I was a police officer and Sheriff for 32 years. I’ve dealt with most all animals. I love them all!! I’m currently a retired sheriff. I work part time for American Airlines about 20 hours per week in Bloomington, and working on a license to sell real estate as a part-time job in Livingston County. And I have been a police officer, since I was 18 years old. I am very trustworthy and honest. I’ve grown up around many types of animals and feel comfortable around them.
About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.

She does great with my kitty and hamster Juice too, her enclosure was nice and clean when I came back, so was the kitty’s litter box.”

“Kelsey is so amazing with animals! Her gentle, kind and loving nature is exactly what you want when having someone look after your fur baby. My husband and I ask Kelsey to watch our two dogs often and she always goes a great job. She always keeps us posted and sends lots of pics. When she’s unavailable, it’s really a bummer because 1) our dogs love her and 2) there’s not many people we trust to take care of our dogs and be in our home. Next time you need someone, look no further!!”
