“I had the best first experience using the Rover app all because of Kayla. Her calm demeanor made my dogs and cats trust her almost immediately. She was incredibly thorough through the first initial visit and knew all the right questions to ask if I missed something. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Incredibly happy that I have a trustworthy babysitter because that’s what she is. An incredible babysitter for my fur babies!”

“Barbara is currently sitting for my dogs, I am still out of town. I will leave another review once I am home. I am trying to figure out how to leave a tip, because she goes way above and beyond. For all of the work and help she is doing for my dogs while I am gone is incredible, so I just want to throw her a tip because she more than deserves it.”

About: Growing up, I had two dogs starting at age 10, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding canine behavior and needs. I learned how to train them, manage their energy levels, and ensure they were well-socialized. Since moving out on my own at 18, I've continued my passion for pet care by having one dog and one cat. This experience has allowed me to develop skills in caring for multiple types of pets, including feeding, grooming, and providing companionship. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always ensure that my home is a secure environment, free from hazards, and I’m vigilant during walks to keep them safe from traffic and other dangers. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, and administering any necessary medications while keeping a close eye on their well-being. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your pets, ensuring they feel at home while you’re away. I currently work a full time job. However Im still available every weekend , weekday and holidays for walks , check ins and more ! I always ensure that my home is secure, checking for any potential hazards like open windows, toxic plants, or small objects they could swallow. I keep cleaning supplies and other harmful substances out of reach. When it comes to playtime, I use safe toys and supervise their play to prevent any accidents. I also make sure to provide a safe space for them to retreat to, especially if they feel stressed or overwhelmed. During walks or outdoor time, I’m very cautious about their surroundings, ensuring they are kept on a leash if necessary, and I monitor them closely at all times. I’m experienced in administering medications and keeping track of their health, ensuring they stay safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a loving and secure environment for your pet, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for a few years, mostly for close friends and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company while their family is away, I’ve always treated pets as my own. I often help with housesitting and babysitting as well, so I’ve learned to also juggle multiple responsibilities. I’m currently home for the summer from college, therefore, I have open availability and the flexibility to provide consistent pet care. With no current academic commitments, I am able to build my daily routine around the pets I care for! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m not afraid to ask clarifying questions about your pets to ensure I am giving them the best care. :)

About: Hi, I’m Dominie! I offer loving home-style boarding with 2 daily walks and plenty of updates. Your dog will feel right at home. My pet care journey began with two amazing dogs- Lucky (a Lab) and Mills (a pug-chihuahua mix) whom I cared for daily over 3 years. From walks to meals, playtime to cuddles, I became part of their world and realized how much I truly enjoy caring for animals. What sets me apart is the personalized care your dog will receive. I work from home, so your 🐶 will never be left alone for long. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times to fit your schedule. No car or short on time? No worries! I offer convenient pick-up and drop-off services for a small mileage-based fee. Just sit back, and I’ll handle the travel! 🐾🚗 Pet care fits really well into my daily schedule since I work from home. I have the flexibility to take pets out for walks, play, or potty breaks throughout the day. I have a gated front yard that’s great for safe, supervised outdoor time. A typical day looks like: 🐾Morning walks around 7am to start the day with energy and excitement. 🐾Potty breaks every 2 hours. 🐾Midday play sessions during my work breaks (I’m always up for a game of fetch!) 🐾Evening walks around 6pm to wind down the day. 🐾Plenty of snuggles, affection, and supervision. Whether your 🐶 is playful or prefers a chill day indoors, I adapt to their needs and comfort level. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

“My 2nd time booking and Breanna has been great. She has taken wonderful care of my kitties and even got one of them to come out and play. They are both scared of strangers so that means a lot!”

About: Dogs have been an interest to me since I was young. I can't recall a moment my home without one. I've cared for dogs of several different breeds, temperament, and intelligence. In grooming, I have experience in bathing, brushing, trimming and cutting fur of several varieties and styles. I've done ear cleaning, clipping/grinding nails, dematting fur, and checking and removing plant debris from paws. For exercise/stimulation, my experience is in walking, sprinting, toy play, and training basic commands. For medication, some experience is in medication administration (orally and injections), saline IV administration, ear ointment application and heart-congestion monitoring. I can follow specific medication timings as well as specific instructions to administer medication, from crushing pills to measuring and injecting saline IV. Also have experiece in providing accommodation for low mobility dogs, dogs suffering form specific physical conditions, or dogs suffering from anxiety. In dog nutrition, I am very aware of what dogs are able to digest and what is harmful for their health. There is extreme care with foods that are potentially dangerous to dogs. For their diets, I have experience in making and accommodated several different diets for dogs. Diets that I've had to accommodate are, kidney disease, whole food, meat only, puppy tailored, grain free, whole grain, low protein, and seafood. There is only one type of diet I am against and will NOT accommodate is the vegetarian dog diet. I have high experience to accommodate senior dogs. I've personally Raises 4 dogs into their senior years, two 17 year old, one 14 year, and one 12. With that I have experience in common conditions for elderly dogs, such as cataracts, mobility issues, trick knees, cancer, kidney disease, heart-congestion and more. As an avid weightlifter, I can manage dogs much stronger and larger than average dog. I am able to assist loading and unloading dogs up to 180lbs. I can protect extra small dogs from much larger breeds. Owning a 5lb chihuahua gave me experience on how to disengage and manage larger breeds that come into their personal space. I am currently part time and have a flexible schedule. Majority of my free time is after 3pm during all weekdays and mostly free during weekends. I can do certain times during the weekdays, just need to be notified a day before. My home has a fenced backyard that is cleaned 2x daily from dog waste. There are four other dogs, with one having a dominant personality and another being a very playful puppy. Both dogs can be separated from yours if they require a calmer environment. All four dogs are trained by me to behave, as well as barriers are all around the house to prevent unnecessary or unwanted interactions. Dogs will have a safe, solitary area provided to be able to retreat to if they need to. Dogs have 24hr access to clean water that is changed three times daily. Feedings are 1-3 times daily, depending on requirements and preferences. Dogs in our household usually eat a high meat, freshly cooked, and nutritious diet and occasionally eat kibble. Specific foods, diets and supplements can be easily accommodated for your or your dog's preferences/requirements. I've had lots of experiece with picky eaters as well.

“Thank you as always!!”

“Steve is amazing! He was thorough, on time, and went above and beyond by cleaning up and dealing with a malfunctioning automatic litter box. My cats seemed happy and healthy when I got back from my trip.”

“Jeanette is local to me and was very pleasant and easy to talk to. We have cameras so I was able to track her visits and watch her spend time with the dogs. Our agreement was to just feed my 2 dogs twice a day, but she went above and beyond. She brought my mail and packages into my garage and spent time playing with our German Shepherd and Beagle. She was "on Task" and on time every day. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I have had animals all my life and I have taken care of my friends pets before. I have also had animals that have special medical issues. I take care of my animals in the morning before my college classes. Then I come home and let my kittens out and wash my dog about once a week and take care of her skin. I am used to walking for long periods of time. I also have experience with taking care of my friends pets for long periods of time. I mostly like to walk animals.

About: I own my own work from home business and have the freedom to set my own schedule and care for pets as needed. Flexibility is important in a sitter. I can accommodate most requests if given at least a day’s notice. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to talk further. I do not offer care in my home as I am limited on space and have my own pets. I will take excellent care of your pets and make sure they need for nothing.
