About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

“Emma is awesome!”

“Brandi and Cayden took great care of our two cats while we were away for six days. They were reliable, sent updates every visit and spent time playing with our cats — even enticing our shyer cat to join in. Thank you both!”

“Did very well with Leo took lots of pictures to show me that he was doing good long walks which Theo absolutely loves! And was very accommodating with my situation!”

About: With over 9 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds—from Shih Tzus to Pit Bulls—and I’ve been a dedicated animal lover my entire life. I’m passionate about making sure pets feel loved and safe, and I pride myself on being dependable, even on short notice. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, or administering medications, I’ve got the skills and commitment to keep your pets happy and healthy. My goal is for you to have peace of mind that your pets will be well taken care of no matter where you are. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine since I’m currently in school for medical billing, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can easily balance my studies with part-time pet sitting, making sure I have time to give each pet the attention and care they need. It also helps me stay active and provides a great break from my coursework! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their routines as closely as possible to keep the pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like administering medications or adhering to specific care preferences. I’m very respectful of the home, and I always ensure everything is clean and secure before I leave. For pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment, offering plenty of space for relaxation, play, and comfort. I ensure they have access to all their essentials and, most importantly, lots of love and attention!

“Amazing communication and super sweet with our animals. She updated us very well and was such an amazing sitter!”

About: I have loved and owned dogs my entire life. My parents raised Great Danes and Cocker Spaniels giving me an appreciation for different breeds and personalities. I offer patience, dependable care, affection and attention to each dog's individual needs. I treat every dog like family, wanting them to feel safe, loved and happy. I am retired and have the time to spend with your pet, so they are happy when you come home. Your pet will be my priority and have my undivided attention. I will treat your home with respect and your pets like family. I'll follow your instructions carefully, maintain their normal routines, provide loving attention, and keep you updated so you feel confident your pets are safe, and well cared for while you are away.

About: I've owned a variety of dogs of every breed and size, (Gr8Danes, pekingese, doodles, terriers, the list goes on) all from a very young age. I've had puppies, to special needs seniors... All of whom have different skills sets required for their care. Im currently a stay at home Mom. One of my children is a 2 time cancer survivor and requires a flexible schedule due to her weakened immunity. My schedule is pretty packed as a busy mom before and after school... but my availability during the day and on weekends is usually fairly open for visits, walks, cuddles or any type of care. I'm more than able to follow any schedules you may want to follow. Including eating/medication times as I know and respect how sensitive some animals are.

“Vanessa has been there for me for years. It is a comforting feeling having a person you trust whole-heartedly and know will take great care of your pets while you're away. We are lucky to have Vanessa in our lives and are grateful for the wonderful job she does each time.”

“Dennis took wonderful care of our 3 kittos ❤️🐾🐾🐾 I loved getting such cute pictures of them while we were away, and it was evident upon meeting him in person and while away that he is very much a cat whisperer, giving Jackson Galaxy the OG “Cat Daddy” a run for his money. Dennis took good care of our home, and his communication left us feeling very much at peace while in the mountains for a week. Having no signal where we were at made me a little nervous, so every time I checked my phone when within cell signal and seeing the latest update with images, I felt more and more secure that all was quite well at home. Dennis is especially adept at caring for kitties with special needs, so seeing my very old girl so loved on was extra special. Thank you, Dennis! We will definitely be reaching out for all our kitty needs. ❤️”

About: I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I want you to have that peace of mind! Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for some playtime, or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I also know that every pet has their own little personality, quirks, and routines, so I always do my best to make them feel comfortable and keep things as familiar as possible. Whether that means extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply giving them their space, I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes them happiest! I truly love being around animals and would be so excited to get to know yours. I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own two boys! 🐾💕 With a flexible schedule, I bring the best of both worlds as your dog walker and cat sitter. Working remotely and locally allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day, ensuring your furry friends receive the attention they deserve. Whether it's a midday dog walk or a cozy cat cuddle session, my schedule adapts to yours. I prioritize reliability and availability, providing peace of mind knowing your pets are in capable hands at a time that suits you. Here to help with what aligns best with your schedule, making life easier for both you and your beloved companions! Every day is an adventure with Eli. Working remotely allows me to be present for my him, taking him for walks around our neighborhood, providing not just exercise but also a chance to explore the world together then cuddling up for a nap. With my previous dog, Tanner, he would enjoy two hours of playtime in our fenced yard, filled with games and activities that cater to his energetic spirit. Once a week, we would take a special trip to a nearby kayak launch. This scenic spot, within walking distance from our house, became a favorite for him. Here, he learned to swim, and we revel in the joy of playing together on warm summer days.

“Jenny was WONDERFUL with our cat Latte! This was Latte’s first overnight with a Pet-Sitter, and it went better than we could have hoped. Jenny was so warm and caring, and her regular updates & photos gave us a great peace of mind while we were away. She took really good care of Latte, and even left our home cleaner than when we had left it! We would happily book Jenny again!”

I currently have 5 amazing dogs of my own. Transitioning in my life and starting a new pet business with a mobile dog gym. In the meantime working in some pet sitting and dog walking. Looking forward to meeting some new furry friends and wonderful pet owners! Ease your mind and hire someone who has made a career out of caring for animals! I am currently transitioning in my career and starting a new business, so right now I'm pretty flexible as my mobile dog gym business ramps up. Check in and let me know what you need, I'm sure I can move some things around! I am happy to follow any care instructions provided by pet owners to a T! I would also be happy to provide any advice based on my experience if asked.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 5! I grew up with a variety of pets; dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and fish! I have always loved the responsibility that comes with owning an animal! I have experience with puppies, administering medications, and senior care. I have a very sweet yellow lab that loves to make new friends! I have a pretty flexible schedule, especially during the summer! Although I do work during the school year, I have help from my family members that live nearby.

When walking dogs, I will ensure they are on the leash at all times and only walk in safe areas free from cars.

About: Hello pet parents! I bring 15 years of deep pet care experience to Rover, rooted in a lifetime of loving animals. I actually grew up on a farm caring for a wide variety of different animals from a young age. This foundational upbringing instilled in me an instinctual understanding of animal behavior and welfare. As an adult dog owner, I experienced the rewards of adopting and completely training an Australian Shepherd and a Border Collie. Raising two incredibly intelligent, high-energy working breeds taught me the absolute necessity of patience, positive reinforcement, and clear structural routines. Today, my Aussie manages hypothyroidism, which means I am deeply familiar with specialized medical care. I am fully accustomed to administering daily medications exactly on schedule and maintaining a carefully balanced exercise routine to keep her healthy and thriving. I am currently an Orthodontic Intern at LECOM School of Dental Medicine. My hours are 8:15AM-11:45AM and 12:45PM-3:45PM. I am available to stop in around the morning, lunch, and afternoon hours. During house sitting or drop-in visits, I seamlessly maintain your pet’s familiar routine while providing engagement and love. I excel at balancing active play, including backyard games and safe, fun trips to local dog parks, with calm, reassuring comfort to ease separation anxiety. I respect your home’s security and rules, maintain total cleanliness, and send photo updates to keep you completely worry free.

“Logan did drop in visits for our 90 lb energetic puppy and did a great job!! Our pup loved him and was very responsive to him. Provided lots of photos and I felt he was in great hands. I would highly recommend his services and will absolutely use them in the future!”

“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional care for my furry family member, courtesy of an amazing dog sitter. Despite never having met before, she went above and beyond when my dog fell ill, displaying unparalleled kindness and dedication. During my absence, my dog unfortunately fell sick, leaving a messy situation. Not only did she clean up the mess promptly and efficiently, but she also ensured the entire area was cleaned, going the extra mile to make sure my home was left in pristine condition. Furthermore, her genuine concern for my dog’s well-being shone through when she prepared a comforting meal of chicken and rice, tailored to soothe my dog’s upset stomach. This thoughtful gesture demonstrated her understanding and commitment to providing personalized care. What truly touched my heart was her willingness to take immediate action by seeking medical attention for my dog. Without hesitation, she utilized her own resources to obtain necessary medication from the vet, sparing no expense to ensure my dog received the best possible care. In summary, I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care and compassion exhibited by Michelle. Her selfless actions, genuine concern, and unwavering dedication are a testament to her professionalism and love for animals. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate pet care. She is truly a gem, and I am immensely grateful for her invaluable assistance during a challenging time.”
