“Very good dog sitter. Did really good with our big dogs. Very communicative and really cares about them. Very trust worthy. We did not have to worry about her during our time away from home.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for about 7 years and have a lot of experience working with cats and dogs. I have mostly have experience with cat sitting, but have some experience with small to medium size dogs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, walking or outside time for dogs, and spending quality time with each animal I sit for. I am currently only working part time so I have flexibility to spend more time with your pets! While I am not able to stay overnight every single night , I can make frequent visits if needed and will prioritize the time schedule set for your pets to keep them on their routine! I want to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you are away and truly believe that keeping pets in their home environment helps them adapt to temporary changes. I do my best to gain trust with new animals through slow and gentle movements and tone of voice, and I am patient in letting your pets warm up to me.
“Crista was absolutely amazing with my kitten Stormi. She kept me updated and made sure my baby was comfortable. I greatly appreciate everything her and her family provided. I highly recommend Crista.”

About: Your dog’s comfort and joy come first. I bring years of experience and a genuine love for pups to make every visit fun, safe, and worry free! As a stay at home mom, I love spending my days caring for pets, going on walks, and visiting the horse barn. Pets easily fit into my daily routine, and I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable, whether it’s in my home or yours. I follow routines, rules, provide food, water, supervision, and lots of play time. In your home I respect your space while giving updates to build trust.
About: Whenever I get asked if I would choose cats or dogs I always say, it depends on the personality! I love all animals and getting to know their quirks and what makes them unique! Just like their personality I understand care specific to their needs are important. I’ve grown up taking care of various neighbors’ animals and loving the experience of taking animals on walks, feedings, baths, deep clean of their home, and just simply playing with them. I start graduate school in January but am pretty flexible at the moment! Sunday through Thursday at any time as long as messaged at least the day before! I have my own little kitty named Jasper! I follow directions to a T and just love on animals. - Walks - Feedings - Scratched and pets - Play time - Mental stimulation

About: I cared for my staffy mix, Millie, for nine wonderful years, learning her needs, moods, and quirks along the way. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and loved — care I'm ready to bring to your dog. I am currently between jobs, but normally work from home. I am quite flexible in when I can provide pet care. Mornings, midday, or night care would be no issue. I have two cats myself, and keep a tidy home for them. I have a large, unfenced backyard, but has natural barriers that keep things very private.
About: I have always loved dogs and other animals. My dream is to own my own rescue. I have pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. Big or small. Furry or bald. I am a work at home and my 5 dogs are my co-workers most of the time. Looking for more opportunities to get out of the house and do something I have a passion for. I know the stress of leaving your pets for vacations or emergencies and want to be a dependable source for others I have a big back yard fenced in. I put an above ground pool up for some of my dogs in the summer who swim and play during the hot days. We love to play fetch with the younger dogs and let the others lounge or sleep. On weekends with nice weather we enjoy walks at the local parks and creeks.

I am currently not working so I can drop in to care for your pets 1-2 times a day. I always stay and give them pets/love because they miss their parents.

We currently have two Labs: Copper Ray, Abigale DeLaney “Abbie” and two cats Cassie Marie (Bobtail), and Oliver Patrick “Ollie” (Part Maine Coon) They all love laying on the couch together while inside.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a baby, and currently own a pug myself! I used to volunteer as well at an animal clinic before becoming a nurse. Now I’m a SAHM to three (not fur) babies and would love to give dedicated care to yours with fur! I am a SAHM of three kiddos! One is a baby, and the others are 3 and 4. We spend lots of time out in the yard or going on walks. And if we need to travel to let your animal out, they love to go on trips! Our schedule is wide open. I have a fenced in yard and one dog that goes inside/outside. I do have children, so the dog/cat has to be kid friendly of course. Having owned the dog and cats — my kids are well trained on being gentle and kind to animals of all shapes and sizes! (And when to leave them alone, ie meal time)

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Before I was 8, I had two amazing dogs and three precious and crazy cats. Since then (almost 20 years), I have cared for so many wonderful animals, from my own pets to professionally caring for dogs and cats through sitting and through dog walking. I love dogs of all size, and have experience caring for dogs as small as chihuahuas and dachshunds, to large labs, retrievers, doodles, mastiffs, and pitbulls. I've cared for puppies all the way to senior pups, including sick pets who I've administered medications to and prepared specialized diets for, including my own sweet pup who fought cancer several years ago. I have also fostered dogs with medical needs who were not able do well in shelter due to their conditions. I'm totally comfortable with multi pet homes. I love animals so much and treat each animal as if they're my own beloved pet. Nothing makes me happier than caring for animals and making them feel safe, happy, healthy, and loved. My work schedule changes week to week, but for the most part I make my own schedule and have flexibility to take as many breaks as possible in between appointments. I generally work more in the late afternoons and evenings, and my mornings especially are often completely free. Weekends are also free with enough notice! At this time I offer pet sitting services at the pet owners home, as well as additionally offering dog walking, and/or pet care drop ins throughout the day.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years for family & friends. I love dogs and know they are more than a pet they are family with the biggest hearts and unconditional love.

I can pet sit during the week if your dog is crate trained. I have a little dog, Prince, who can be sassy but is a big mama’s boy. I live on several acres with lots of woods to run around in. The yard is not fenced.

Kristie was wonderful and very reliable! She did a great job watching our cat and giving her a pill every morning. She was very attentive, thorough, quick to respond, and provided frequent updates. I would 100% recommend her care and if I need a future sitter, I will go to Kristie. Thank you!

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
