About: What sets me apart is from the amount of expensive I’ve had with animals. 3 years in pet sitting but my parents were breeders so I grew up with animals. I treat them like my best friend! I ensure my care and love gets through to them to make them as happy as possible while giving them much attention I baby sit mid day I won’t be there then but every other time I will and I’m able to do over night. Pretty free most the time I only do clients home and I ensure the safety and trust by letting them get to know me more then giving them much attention while keep at their daily routine

About: I have been around cats and dogs my whole life, and thus I am very good at reading their body language. I have years of experience caring for both. Rest assured your pets will be showered in love and attention. 💕 My schedule is very flexible! I am available to take care of your pets wherever and whenever you need me to, whether it be housesitting or just petsitting. I always pay attention to the needs of your pets and house. I always made sure to lock all the doors and feed your pet and administer medicine on time.

About: YOU CAN USE THE $20 OFF COUPON if this is your first time using Rover. (Use code SUSANJ93758) Even if you choose another sitter, you can use this coupon! We hope you will choose us but if someone else is a better fit then this is a gift for you anyway! I will keep your cat or dog in my home for a few hours, days, weeks or months; whatever you need. We love animals! Your baby will be loved on and played with (exercised). I have an Intro to Vet Tech Certificate and used to be a groomer. Your pet will get lots of attention and be very happy with us! Read our reviews! We cater to your pet's needs and give them lots of attention and love so they aren't upset and anxious while you're away. Included with your stay of two or more days are at least two (usually closer to six) professional type pet portraits (digital files). I use a Canon EOS 50D, the last of the heavy body 15mp cameras they made. It takes excellent, high quality photos you can enlarge on your computer. I do appreciate tips! Note: If your male dog marks indoors, I can't keep him. With a puppy, an accident is on the floor, easily cleaned. A dog that marks does so on vertical surfaces, some of which are impossible to clean without residual staining, and if it isn't witnessed it would be impossible to know everywhere it happened. Thank you for understanding. (Note: IF YOU JUST WANT A PORTRAIT (you will receive at least two), you can book/pay for an overnight and bring your groomed pet just for a photo shoot and I'll text the files once payment clears.) YOU CAN USE THE $20 OFF COUPON if this is your first time using Rover. (Use code SUSANJ93758) I stay at home 5 days per week (college 2 classes-2 days); disabled/use a cane. My husband works 7 minutes away in case of any emergency and is a volunteer firefighter who runs for exercise and would love to bring your dog along! I have cat trees and perches, toys, an extra room and LOVE so if you need someone who will take good care of your baby you can call on me. Reference (name/phone #) from previous customer available. I can train your dog to speak on command in 1-2 weeks; will start it and show you how (it's not hard!) if the stay is shorter. I have trained my own dogs basic commands plus more in the past. I'm self-taught in dog training; I've read tons of books, watched many videos, even learned some service dog training. We have a 15 month old tabby cat (bottle raised) who loves to play with cats and dogs and has been tested negative for FIV and FELV; up to date on his shots and neutered. We also have an 8 month old female Ragdoll who's spayed and has been tested negative for FIV and FELV; up to date on her shots. We would love to babysit your kitty (no intact male cats over 5 months). You will receive AT LEAST one photo per day via text with an update on how your fur baby's doing. I am also a talented amateur photographer so you'll have expressive fun pics of your fur baby. You'll receive digital copies in texts! If you love your pics, tips are greatly needed and appreciated! Note: I may use some pics of your pet to build my photography portfolio and post here on Rover. Also offer: Full Groom with bath, blow dry, brush out & claws clipped $25. for cats and dogs. That includes trimming excess fur from the paws as needed. (Long hair cats benefit from trimming out the fur from between the paw pads; it doesn't show from the top.) If your dog stays for 7 days or more, a weekly bath is included! Note: if your pet will bite with nail clipping it won't be done! In that case, we will give a bath/blow dry. Sometimes I'll give a free trim with the bath if it's a Schnauzer or Yorkie type that needs it but will check with you first. Final note: Tips are appreciated (but not necessary)! I only mention it because most people don't realize they can, or how much more they're getting when they trust their pet to us. Although you will be receiving awesome digital photos of your baby, I will be gaining experience and shots for my portfolio, so don't feel like you have to tip; but it is really appreciated if you'd like to! What's also great is when you are happy and become a regular client!

“Tessa was so kind as to watch my pup for the weekend. I did get text updates and did not have to worry about my pup’s food or safety. The reason I gave a 4 star instead of 5 is because I spent an entire day cleaning my home so this would be nice and clean when she arrived. While I knew she and her daughter would be staying at my house, my ring camera said otherwise. The whole family stayed at my house all weekend. I would not have minded this had it been mentioned up front and had there been no further concerns…however upon my return home the following was present: my living room was a mess, there were dirty tissues in one of my bins by the couch, there were food stains on the couch, all of my placemats at the dinner table had red koolaid stains on them (nobody told me this happened and it ruined my placemats…$100 worth and stained my couch), there were red koolaid colored fingerprints that stained my pantry door. I tried to scrub it off and now have to repaint. While the overall service pertaining to my dog and Tessa’s kindness where 100% excellent, I am not made of money and work very hard to provide for myself since I have one income…and I was very very very upset and sad when I returned home to find my house left in this condition. Tessa once again, thank you for watching my sweet girl. I know having a family is tough and busy when also being a dog sitter…please don’t be upset. I just am so sad that I had to come home to ruined $100 worth of placements, couch, door, etc and nobody mentioned this to me at all. I now have to fork out money to get new placemats, clean my couch, and paint my door. That is unfair to me as a paying customer. I’m also upset that you weren’t straightforward with me about your whole family being there instead of just you and your daughter as our messages confirmed. I would not have had an issue if I was told this upfront and my house/items that I work 60+ hrs/week for weren’t destroyed when I got home.”


About: I have dog sat, for family, friends and have even picked up strays and fostered them until I could find them a good home. I have had dogs since the day I was born. I don’t currently have one. That is why I’m looking forward to meeting yours. My schedule fits in anytime day or night. Looking for the right family to help out when ever they are in need. Including walking or just being around them for company. I don’t have a fenced in yard, I do have a huge field for them to run and play. I do have leashes, and tethering.

“Abigail did a great job of taking care of my pups. She kept in contact with me and gave updates very few hours, including sending pictures and videos of them. Will definitely use her again. Thank you!”


About: Over the years, I've had the pleasure of sharing my life with four wonderful dogs, each holding a special place in my heart. Currently, I have a playful puppy whom I cherish deeply. Despite working full-time on weekdays, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to dedicate ample time to caring for dogs. Every dog under my care receives attentive and loving treatment—I treat them as if they were my own. Walking dogs brings me immense joy, ensuring they receive the utmost care and attention they deserve. My passion for dogs is unwavering, and their well-being is always my top priority. I currently work full time Monday - Friday, 8-5pm, but I can make time to walk your dogs during the week and on the weekends. I have always given my dogs all the attention that they needed. I take them outside to go to the bathroom 5 times and day and will take them to run around on a daily.

Kelly M.
“I have a 3 year old pit bull, Smokey, who tore a muscle in his leg almost 2 years ago. We spent a lot on therapy, which was definitely helping, but he was never quite the playful puppy he was before his injury. The first time Kelly came over, she sat down and we were chatting Smokey walked over to Kelly and as we talked she casually started massaging him. When she made it towards the hurt leg, she made verbal note of the stiffness in his leg and proceeded to have Smokey lie down. She sat on the floor, massaging him for about an hour. When she was ready to go, he jumped up and was immediately the puppy he was before! He was pouncing and jumping all over the place and didn’t want her to leave. She comes over once a week and works her magic on Smokey, bringing out the puppy love i treasure. Kelly is a unique soul with a gift. Smokey, my husband and I are so happy Kelly is in our lives. She has truly made a difference in our boy’s life.”


Ashley G.
“Ashley is excellent with animals. As long as I have known her, they have been her first priority. She is very involved in animal training and healthcare. Her animals are constantly getting the best treatment, and when needed, the best medical service. There isn't any other person I would want to have caring for my pets.”
