“Kaylee was amazing, and so patient with me. I had an unforseen issue with my front door, and she stuck it out until I was able to work out a solution. My animals were well taken care of, and I will definitely be requesting her whenever I need a sitter.”
“Heather is exceptional! She genuinely cares about pets and takes amazing photos. As a first-time Rover user, I’m thrilled we chose her for drop-in visits with my 12-week old puppy. Her dedication has made all the difference!”
“Katie stopped by with minimal notice and went above and beyond with communication. We loved getting updates and photos. We absolutely would recommend and will be booking again!”
“Carly was absolutely wonderful ! I am so glad she was able to watch over our two cats while we were away. She always provided great updates each day she went for check ins and overall just made our experience complete worry free. Our cats seemed content the whole time while in her care and we would definitely book again with Carly if ever needed.”
About: I have raised dogs over a decade and love all breeds! Big and small. I enjoy spending time with them and playing fetch or just hanging out on the couch! I work from home so I have time on my hands to meet each pets needs. I can give potty breaks or play fetch outside I have friendly dogs in my home and a fenced in yard outside. I also have crates if that’s what your pet is used to
“So responsive and helpful! Stephanie showed me the ropes as a new user and helped strategize a plan to keep our cat calm through the fireworks. Her check ins were very thoughtful. I had so much confidence that our cat was not only fed but given care and attention <3”
“Kitty crew all loved her. My oldest cat is normally my judge of good babysitters because of her skittish nature. Natalie had her out of hiding and playing on the first visit. Mira doesn't even come out of hiding for my family (and she used to live with them).”
“We had Cynthia do a few drop in visits with our fur baby the weekend of our wedding and it worked out great! She sent us lots of pictures and videos and we could tell our pup loved her and was well taken care of :)”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and I have experience dogsitting and catsitting for many of my friends and family. I have watched dogs of all sizes, though most of my experience is with medium to large. I volunteered with the SPCA door 2 years in one of their cat rooms. I've cared for senior pets, both dogs and cats. I've cared for animals who needed oral medicine, eye medicine, and I had to give my cat insulin shots for a few years, so I do have some experience with medecine that needs injected, too. I also have 4 years' experience working in a greenhouse, if you're going away for a while and need someone to watch your plants as well. I love animals and have dedicated a lot of time to learning about them and their care, everything from dogs and cats to fish and reptiles. The only thing I really don't have experience with (yet) is birds, but I am always willing and excited to learn! I work at a music store during the day. My shifts are between 6–8 hours. Mondays I'm free in the morning and then work till 8pm. Tuesday–Friday I'm usually done by 5, sometimes earlier, and I always have off on Sundays. I care for pets by paying attention to them and getting to know their unique personalities. When I am caring for an animal, their safety and wellbeing is always my top priority, as well as doing my best to keep them happy and entertained.
About: I have had pets in my home my whole life, and I am an avid animal lover! Whenever I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said veterinarian because that was the only job I knew that worked with them. I have taken care of anything ranging from your typical household pets to reptiles, and even farm animals! I am currently student teaching, so daytime hours may not be the best. But if you’re looking for a night out or getting ready for a weekend trip away, I’m your gal! I respect you, your household, and your pets and will make sure to follow whatever guidelines, schedules, or routines you would like me to follow. I will make sure your pets are safe, loved, and cared for until you return!
About: I’ve always had dogs around and love them!! I have experience with fosters, training, seniors, grooming and have some vet tech training. I also own one little pup right now! Would love to have pet care as my fulltime hustle, I’m looking forward to building my client base and serving their needs to the best of my ability! I live in an apartment complex that is very quiet and has a great walking community with play yards and other pups to play with if desired!
About: I have owned dogs and cats all my life. I also have owned small animals such as guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and fish.

About: I was raised in a home with animals my whole life. I was raised around dogs as part of the family. I love and care for all animals as they are my own.
