“Erica took such amazing care of our dog! He can be very scared and timid at first but she was patient with him and he warmed up so quickly to her!

About: I have taken care of my Diva girl for 16 years! 6 years ago I got my second dog Reid and a year later my cat Siggy. My pets are my life and when I’m not home I know someone is there with them keeping them company. I would love to provide that for other pet owners- whether it’s walking, hanging out, staying over, etc! I currently am on my own schedule so I have all the time in the world to take care of your animals!! I would love to meet some new four legged friends! Whatever you need I’m there- at your house ! I have 3 animals of my own and one is very old! But I am very trustworthy and will love your pets like my own!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15 years old. Whether it’s a quick check in, potty break, walk, cuddle buddy, etc. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I do work full time, as well as a full time college student. During the week, I work 9:30am-6pm and if I’m working on the weekends it is 8am-4:30pm. As long as it works with my schedule, I’m available! I have 3 dogs and 7 cats. I treat my pets like family. I make sure they’re on a consistent feeding and walking schedule, and I always keep their environment clean, safe, and enriching. I pay close attention to their behavior and health so I can catch any changes early. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just being present, I make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for every single day.
About: With 1.5 years of professional experience with animals and 15+ years caring for my own pets, I have a long history with animals including dogs, cats, small animals and large barnyard animals! I am currently studying Animal Behavior in college 🎓 I am available most days to do drop in visits, dog walking and house sitting. However, on Mondays and Wednesdays I am only available in the morning due to college With plenty of experience handling fearful, stressed and scared animals at the shelter, I have learned many skills to make them feel more safe and comfortable in my presence, which is very important to me when caring for pets. It has also taught me so much patience and to understand their feelings better than ever.
“Courtney was amazing! 2 of my pets required last minute medications and she was completely on board and ready to help. The pets were happy and clearly taken care of exactly how we would take care of them. The house was in perfect condition. I really couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our furry family members while we were away.”
About: Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.
“We came back to a house in order. Our cats and fish and plants were well taken care of. She texted me questions during her time here to make sure the details of fish feeding schedule was correct. I would highly recommend here services. Ron and Alysson K.”
“Nick did a great job at updating us throughout his stay, which helps greatly if you get anxious leaving your fur babies. Both of our pets were well taken care of and warmed up to him quickly.”
About: My family has always had all kinds of animals and I’ve been the one to take care of them. I am able to do all that is needed to ensure you’ll have one happy fur baby! I am currently working Tuesday through Thursday each week from 6am to 2:30pm. I may be able to do drop in visits during my working hours depending on distance! I have a big yard and live an active life, so I’m able to give your fur baby the attention they need whether that be running around or laying on the couch!
About: I currently work at an animal kennel and have worked with many different animals from dogs, cats, and exotics. All pets have ranged from different ages from a few weeks to very senior. I’ve learned to be patient and understand animal's body language to make the pet as comfortable as possible. While I was in high school I took many classes to understand animals and have worked with many, I did some college to work as a veterinary technician to get more of an understanding of the animals I love! I have been trained in being able to give dogs different medications from oral to injections. I can trim nails and bathe dogs. I have no certifications in it but I can also help with training from muzzle training to basic obedience as I have a dog that I have been working with training to place in agility. I am currently a Kennel technician and have been for about 2 years now, While I love it and have made remarkable bonds with both my co-workers and the pets I have always had a dream to open my kennel one day and I'm attempting to join that route by using rover to get me on my feet! I usually only work about 20 hours a week so I would have plenty of free time to play, exercise, and bond with your lovely pets! I have a 6-acre property and own 2 neutered male dogs as well as a male and 2 female cats which all are indeed fixed, with 6 acres of land I have plenty of areas to exercise your pet and area to play with them.

Whether it's feeding, walking, or just spending quality time, she always goes above and beyond to make sure that they feel safe, loved and cared for. She is absolutely amazing with my dog Coco, and I know she’ll provide the same level of care and attention to anyone else’s sweet pets. She is very organized, responsible, and attentive. She has a heart for animals and making every dog, cat, bird, etc. feel deeply loved and cherished. I have seen how much my dog Coco LOVES her and I've also seen how many lives she has changed while working at animal shelters. The lives of multiple dogs and cats have been saved because of her. She has a special connection with pets and the animals that she cares for.”
