About: I have dog sat many different breeds and ages of dogs. I love to go on walks or play outside with younger pups, but am also happy to relax and cuddle on the couch with an older dog. I am a recently graduated college student who is looking for an enjoyable side gig while still working a part time job that doesn’t have set weekly hours. I love dogs and am always down for a walk or cuddle. I prefer a fenced in yard, but understand if that isn’t available. I enjoy playing with the dogs and laying around with them after a long walk.

“Ashley is amazing. We’ve been having her visit with our cat Todd for over a year. He is becoming more high maintenance as he ages and now she’s been on puke duty and hasn’t questioned things one bit. She is easy to talk to and always keeps us in the loop. I highly recommend booking with her for any of your pet sitting needs.”

About: I have loved and cared for animals of all kinds since I was five years old. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to three dogs and an indoor/outdoor cat. I am also the go-to pet sitter for my extended family, regularly caring for a wide variety of pets—from my younger brother’s Husky to my older brother’s three cats and Miniature Poodle, as well as my parents’ two senior dogs (including one with special needs who wears a leg brace). My oldest dog, Rizzo, a Chihuahua mix, celebrated her 15th birthday in May 2026 with a full "Quinceañera" alongside our human and fur family! Over the years, caring for Rizzo through various health challenges has made me exceptionally comfortable with special-needs pet care. When she was 9, she underwent successful CCL surgery, followed by a full recovery supported by daily physical therapy. At age 13, she overcame IMHA following her annual vaccinations; after a year of dedicated care, she is now in full remission and thriving. Rizzo shares our home with two loving, playful pup siblings: Mogie (11) and Buddy (5). We also have a sweet rescue cat named Gizmo, who joined our family after a neighbor passed away. Known locally as the "Neighborhood Cat," Gizmo loves fishing on docks, making friends with neighborhood kids, and coming inside each evening for dinner and snuggles. All of my pets are wonderful with children. As a licensed Foster Parent since 2024 specializing in infants and toddlers, I maintain a safe, nurturing home environment. Having recently stepped away from a high-stress career, I am dedicating my time to work I truly love: providing attentive, high-quality care to both children and animals. Note, I am Cat and Dog First Aid and Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED through the Red Cross. I hope to meet you soon! Jena I am currently on a career sabbatical, which gives me complete flexibility during regular business hours while my foster children are at school or daycare. I am available for drop-ins and pet walks anytime between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Safety, loving care, and routine are my top priorities during every drop-in visit and walk. I genuinely adore all animals and treat every pet with individual affection, patience, and warmth. I am happy to adapt to the unique needs of senior or special needs pets, ensuring proper medication administration, gentle mobility support, or a calm environment. I strictly follow your guidelines for feeding, walking routes, and house rules. After every visit, I will secure your home, send a detailed update with photos, and share feedback on how your pet did so we can continuously coordinate and fine-tune future visits.

“Stephanie checked on our dogs while we were away for a long day. She left a great recap of their time together and shared a few pics. Communicative and exactly what we needed when we were away the whole day!”

About: I have a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for pets, having owned and nurtured dogs, cats, and cockatiels throughout my life. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and needs, and I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply offering companionship and reassurance, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My reliability, patience, and genuine love of animals help pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Because pet sitting is my primary focus, I offer a flexible schedule and reliable availability. I can adapt to your pet's routine and provide the attentive, personalized care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I provide pet care in the comfort and familiarity of your pet's own home, helping minimize stress and maintain their regular routine while you're away. While I do not offer overnight stays, I can accommodate multiple visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or basic care, I am committed to providing reliable, attentive service and plenty of love and attention during every visit.

“Lindsey did a fantastic job watching our 2 kitties! She took great care of them, brought in packages, and cleaned up a mess one of our cats made. We appreciated her daily visits over the holidays, while we traveled to visit family! We highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely use her services again!”

About: I'm the person asking if I can pet your animals in public. Love a good walk and will play outside with your pet or snuggle on THe couch if desired,! My workday usually starts at about 9am and I am home sometime between 3-4pm My weekends are usually wide open for your pet care needs Pets can roam free in my home as long as behaved and appropriate. I feed my cats twice daily so I can accommodate feeding routines and have a fenced in yard for play

“As my first experience using Rover, I am very thankful to have found Cassandra!! We hired her for drop in visits, and she left us with daily reports and many happy kitty pictures. :)) I could tell our cat was enjoying her company very much. We’re so grateful to her for watching him on short notice over the holiday, and for her professionalism. She is a great communicator, and very responsive in her messages. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after our little guy. :)) Thank you!!!”

About: Hi, I am Halle! I grew up with many dogs, including a Pug, Pomeranian, Wheaton Terrier, Golden Doodles, a Poodle, and Boston Terriers. I worked at a dog groomers and have experience pet sitting other breeds, including Labs, Alaskan Klee Kai, Great Pyrenees, Border Collies, and other mixed breeds. Because of this background, I am very comfortable with high energy puppies, large breeds, and senior dogs that need a slower pace on walks. If you choose to board your dog at my apartment, my routines include 30 minute walks, play time in a fenced in dog park (which is apart of my complex), feeding, and baths as needed. I am comfortable giving them medication as long as there are instructions (for example, oral medicine with instructions provided by a veterinarian). I highly prefer that your dog is potty trained and does not bark loudly, as I will not be at my apartment the entire time to watch them. Safety is my number one priority for myself, the dogs, and their caregivers, so proper communication will be required for Rover services. I’m currently available for walks in the morning and afternoons. If you board your dog at my apartment, I will take them on 3-4 walks per day. I am flexible right now and my schedule can change depending on the services you request. Walks- I can come to your house/apartment to take your dog on a walk. Client’s home pet sitting service- same applies^- I can come to your house/apartment to care for your pet’s needs. Boarding in my home- I request that your pet be dropped off at my apartment with food and food/water bowls, toys, leashes, and their crates if they need them. I maintain a clean, safe apartment and do not have my own pets. My apartment complex has a large fenced in dog park. I will regularly take your dog to this park for play time during their boarding. *Safety- there is no smoking or other dangerous activities in my home. Communication is my priority to ensure that your pet remains safe and healthy. I will provide periodic updates to confirm that they have been fed, walked, played with, etc during your service.

“Morgan did a great job checking in on my shy cat! She was very communicative and even cleaned up an accident my girl had.”
