Barbara was wonderful. She even went the extra mile and cleaned the house of the litter on the floor. Was a huge help coming home to a clean house. Thank you!

About: I’ve spent the last few years caring for dogs and cats for friends and family, including both short-term stays and longer periods. I also had my own dog, Rosie, for three and a half wonderful years. She taught me so much about patience, routine, and what it means to truly care for a pet like family. When she passed, my husband and I transitioned to living in our van full time, where we travel the country to visit rock climbing destinations. I’ve really missed having pets in my life, which is why I joined Rover. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and give them the same love and attention I gave my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every animal as if they were family. I’m frequently active and outdoors. I live and travel full-time in my van, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I plan my days around the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddle sessions. When I care for pets, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely — from feeding routines and medication to walking routes and leash preferences. I take the time to understand every pet’s personality so I can keep them calm, happy, and secure while you’re away. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and tidy. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secured before, during, and after walks, and I never take risks with off-leash play unless it’s in a fully fenced area you approve. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying overnight, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d give my own.

Dani was very responsive. She provided my elderly cat with the medication that it needed on a daily basis. Being a first time user of a service providing drop-in visits, I was anxious at first. However, Dani took great care in documenting her visits and my home is in as good a condition now as when I left it.

Jennifer is a fantastic pet sitter! She communicates quickly and effectively, even if it’s just to let you know she’s running a few minutes behind. She is very thoughtful and aware that all pets have different personalities and needs. Even though my cats wanted very little to do with her she still put in 100% effort with every visit. I highly recommend her, especially for cat owners! I will definitely be hiring her again.

About: I’ve had a Cavalier King Charles for my whole life, the first one for 13 years and now my own for a year. He is my world and he gets along great with all dogs no matter size or age. I care for other dogs as if they’re my own and will always keep owners updated with pictures and/or text messages!! I have experience with giving meds, making food, feeding schedules, walking, potty breaks, etc. Let me watch your furry ones!! I’m currently in school Monday-Thursday from 7am-2pm and sometimes earlier, so weekends work better for boarding, however i’m willing to make it work. I can always pop in to walk your pup or take them out, or have them in my house! Up to you. I let my dog roam throughout the day and he does great. I always turn on a show for him:)) I have a fenced in backyard and take my dog for a walk everyday. I love taking him to the dog park as well and he would love to have a friend in the home, or I can come to yours and take care of them there!

My Simba is picky about his friends. Sharen is now considered one of them. THAT is saying something! I could not be happier with how she took care of my fur baby while I was out of town. I'd absolutely reccomend her and she'll be my first call next time I leave town.

About: I have pet sat almost every summer since I was 13 years old. A mix of caring for my own dogs as well as family friends and coworkers furry friends. I've always had an affinity to animals and I am more than comfortable around dogs or cats. I am currently attending school, but my schedule is not too demanding leaving me with plenty of time to care for your pets. I am quite flexible both with my schedule and yours, cancellations are permitted at anytime! With a soccer field just down the street walks and playtime are no problem! We also have a pet friendly home with plenty of toys and space for your baby!

About: I think a meet and greet is an important way to let me know if your pet needs anything special for their visit. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours to take care of your pet. If you have a senior dogs that needs to be walked by his/herself, that's no problem. They usually need to go at a slower pace so they can enjoy their walk. I can do walks or just drop in visits to be with them. I can also drop in visits for your cat, so they are not lonely. I think cats need attention & exercise while pet parents are away. I can give them playtime and keep you updated on their response. I am currently not working another job. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours and the time to take care and play with your pups. I can also provide boarding on weekdays and/or weekends. I have no problem walking larger dogs, but I can only board dogs 20 lbs or under. (my dogs are 11 lbs and under.) I have had pets for over 30 and taking care of family, friends and neighbors pets for over 25 years. I treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a small fenced in yard and also have small dogs to keep your pup company. I am also able to crate your pup if needed. I have a dog door, but if I have to run errands the pups are safely keep inside until I return. My fur babies like to lay in the sun.
