Brady's visit was quite impressive with my two senior dogs. My dogs are rescues and take a while to warm up to people so the constantly bark. They didn't really bark at all and warmed up to him right away which always takes longer with others even family so I was impressed. Brady was always on time and very polite I'm excited we found someone that my dogs will enjoy!

Jen was great! We have a very spirited rescue dog and she was so patient and wonderful with him. She won him over quickly. She even washed some items for us when he had an accident in between visits! We really appreciated Jen and would definitely use her again!

About: I have been around and taken care of pets my whole life so I know what they need and how to satisfy them. I have have taken care of dogs of all ages and cats as well. I am currently working part-time so I will be able to give me free time to providing the best care possible for all pets. Weekends are the most free for me but I also have plenty of time Mondays through Fridays. I make sure to treat all dogs and cats as if they were my own. During walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and fun while paying close attention to each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, exploring new smells, or taking things at a slower pace, I'll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive care and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while your pet is with me.

Maggie was absolutely fabulous with our two senior cats who are set in their ways! She was able to coax them out from hiding and they even accepted some pets from her (that’s not an easy task). She left our home neat and clean. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and respectful - Maggie should be your choice!!!

About: Do you have a high-energy dog who would love to go on a run? How about an anxious cat who needs their space respected, a dog with separation anxiety, or a senior pet who's particular about how their meds are administered? Whoever your pet is, I'm sure they have their own individual personalities, quirks, and needs...just like people do! I learned this at a young age when I used to house-sit for a neighbor with four cats. All four were totally different: there was a cuddler, a hider, a snoozer, and a biter. They taught me that patience and respect are just as important as love in building a relationship with an animal. Since then, I've had 20+ years of experience with animals with unique needs, including having owned a dog with separation anxiety (he tore out a tooth and got onto the roof once!) and a deaf senior cat (I think she could see ghosts). I've volunteered at animal shelters and have pet-sat for every personality under the sun! I would love to find out more about your pet and how we can have the best possible time together. I have been a runner for 15+ years and would love to discuss taking your dog out for a jog! Up to 2h/week total. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment! I can make time for your pet any time, up to 6 days a week total. I am able to provide any support needed at your home, including feeding, playing, administering meds, walking, and taking your pet out for a run!

About: I am able to give medication and medical shots to pets, I have experience with this as my one dog has diabetes and requires two shots a day. My other dog is a reactive dog as well so I have some experience in trying to handle a reactive dog. I also have had multiple puppies and senior dogs that have exposed me to the different type of care and attention they need, especially when the owners are away. I have experience with dog sitting since I watched my neighbors dogs for years now and have previously worked with one of their dogs that had special needs. I am in the summer before I leave for college so I am home and able to watch the pets at pretty much anytime needed. I am busy with softball tournaments some weekends, but the weekends I do not have that I am around in the area mainly at anytime. I am able to crate a dog, take a walk friendly dog out on walks, feed them, administered medication if required, and play with the dog.

Christie took wonderful care of our three cats while we were away on vacation. It’s been a challenge recently since my senior cat, Fiona, needs medicine in her ear twice a day. Christie managed to gain Fiona’s trust quite quickly! I cannot express how relieved we were that Fiona was correctly getting her meds. It was clear by the photos we received each day that all our cats really love Christie. Our normally shy cat, Daisy, was lying on the floor in the kitchen instead of disappearing after meals, something she never does! Christie clearly has a gift for animals. Thank you so much, Christie!!!

About: Hi, I’m Michaela! I provide reliable, consistent care for pets, with a focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away. I specialize in dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and also offer limited boarding. Whether it’s a daily walk, a quick check-in, or overnight care, I take the time to understand your pet’s routine and make sure everything feels as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy and playful to more relaxed or shy, and I always adjust my approach to fit each pet. I keep my days structured yet flexible so I can reliably show up for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m intentional about planning my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure each visit gets my full attention. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I build my schedule to stay consistent and dependable. Because of this, I’m able to provide a calm, reliable experience for both pets and their owners, keeping routines consistent and making sure each pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. I try to keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for your pet while they’re at home. I’ll follow their usual routine closely, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or any little habits they’re used to.

If they’re energetic, we’ll get some good playtime or walks in, and if they’re more relaxed or a little shy, I’ll keep things calm and go at their pace. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep everything clean and organized. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is happy and in good hands!

About: Personal: Since I was little Verterenarian was always my dream job.. of course things change. I instead went into the Marine Corps and then opened a new chapter in Swim Instruction and Lifeguarding. Back then was when I got my first Cat in 2012. Currently I'm becoming certified in Massage Therapy and hope to move on to animal accupressure and therapy as well, so I'm unavailable between 7:30am and 2pm Mon-Thursday. I've been told by various people throughout my life how I have "the touch" and that they or their pets feel oddly soothed by me. I have even met people and their dogs while on hikes and been invited right there to care for their picky pets(uninterested in humans.) It's always special when dogs come to me for comfort in a room full of people which has happened a few times. One of the most notable ones was an old Sheltie who wouldn't come out from behind the couch (afraid of lightning); I wound up holding her failing hips and hitting some feel-good points to coax her out and back to normal. I grew up with a Husky/Lab/Chow mix and a Yorkie-Poo. Later I shared/trained a MinPin-Chiuwuawa and most recently had my own Jack Russell/Chiuwawa mix and would always get compliments on how well-behaved they were. I'm intuitive, empathetic, and can hit certain spots when massaging them or just transfer energy somehow that seems to really speak their language. I'm an animal too in every good sense of the word! My life experiences have trained me to think on my feet and innovate my way out of any obstacle, with a laugh in my heart and a respect for the waves. Schedule: When I schedule through Rover, it has my full attention, and I won't leave to do other work unless it's specifically OK'd through you (then I may go out just to do a few deliveries and come back within 2 hours... though I certainly wouldn't leave 2 unfamiliar doggies alone whatsoever even if they were friends!) I can rise to your preference of potty and meal schedule, no sweat! If you're okay with your dog staying home during school for extended trips you may need to take, we can set them up in their own room or area of the house. Safety, Trust & Environment: I'd like to introduce my dog Pitunia as an extremely sweet, curious, receptive dude. We take big camping trips with friend's families (dogs, kids) and do exceptionally well. Each animal can perceive various tones in voice or touch or types of play differently, so I do take safety quite seriously. We don't play tug without practicing "LET GO" - I think it's relatable playing with toys and having some accidental nips - that said he really amazes me by Letting Go. I make sure to reward for every good behavior and only teach "no" if I'm distinguishing between "yes.". When we have multiple dogs it's important to feed at the same time and in separate areas. I typically have mine "wait" and he will sit or lay in his area until I set down the food, which comes in handy for multi-dog safety ☺️ Pitunia and I have also completed the Paws For People Therapy Program, where we trained with other dogs weekly to condition for working in hospitals, etc, so he is such a well-trained marshmallow. Manners tend to need constant upkeep though, as I'm sure you probably know with your loveable friend who might Also be: inquisitive eager jumpin and bumpin with affection, tail whippin butt wigglin and kissin!!! So we always keep at it😌.

Mackenzie was an amazing pet sitter! She was always timely, friendly, and professional, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially appreciated how she was able to get my shy cat to take her meds which is no small feat! On top of that, her photography skills were such a bonus; I loved getting thoughtful, high-quality updates. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her!
