“Patrick and Karyn were fantastic with our two dogs, Riley and Zeus! They gave them so much love and attention, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Great communication and updates, and we came home to two very happy pups. Highly recommend!”
About: I am passionate about having happy pets and Pet Parents. I would treat each dog as if they were my own. My two fur babies include two ShihZu/terrior mixes Rugby and Veuve. Having my own dogs helps me understand on a personal level the type of care each pet parent would want for their family member. In my experience I have dog sat for a puppy Doodle for a family friend named Allison , an older Doodle named Bryland owned by my friend Ryan also for a puppy named Molly who needed supervision after a medical procedure . All would attest that their dogs were very well taken care of.I also have experience with walking dogs at a local animal shelter Save A Pet. I also helped care for cats there as well.
“Julia did an amazing job with watching and taking care of my cat! Plenty of photos were always provided and I knew he was in good hands! I definitely recommend her and will be my first choice in the future for a cat sitter.”
About: I’m a huge dog and animal lover with a passion for caring for animals. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I have had dogs my entire life and many other animals including cats, rabbits, many other animals and even pigeons. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! walk. I am recently retired and pet care is already a natural part of my day with my own pets. I am very active and have found wonderful pet sitters on Rover. I am hoping to be the same for others. I would care for your pet in your home by following their normal routine as closely as possible so you pet feels safe and comfortable. I would make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise and or playtime and receive plenty of attention and affection during my visits. I would clean up after your pet and make sure everything is tidy. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pets and home so I would be respectful, dependable and provide updates.
About: I’ve previously worked for another pet service where I took dogs on walks and did drop-in visits. I also have some experience with cats, but I have a 5-year old dog myself. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs as I dog sat for a family friend for a few months and stayed the night at their house once a week. I would take the dog for walks, spend time with him and give him any medication he needed. I love animals and it doesn’t feel like work to take care of them for me. I am a teacher, so I am free during school breaks and on weekends. When I am not working full-time at school, pet care will be my first priority. I will listen to any requests made by the pet owner for what they want me to do, such as letting them out in a fenced backyard or keeping them on a leash. I also have experience crate training my dog and find that can be a safe place for dogs too.

“Emma and Trent did a great job caring for my two cats. They were happy when I returned and they were able to successfully get Delilah to take her meds every morning. I would use them again!”
“Kelly was great! She was so patient with my shy cat and even sat with her while she ate. I had such peace of mind while she took care of my furbabies. I will definitely rebook her again 😻😻”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
