About: There’s nothing I won’t do for my dogs and I will treat your fur baby/ babies the same. I am reliable with a strong background caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve handled everything from high energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I prioritize safety, love, and playtime. I always provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. I know what it feels like to miss your dogs throughout the day or on trips so I can assure you, you will receive as many photos and updates as possible! I’m currently working until 7pm on weekdays, with as many breaks in between as my job is very flexible in how I take my various breaks. I wake up early for my morning workouts so if early boarding or walks are needed I’d be more than happy to accommodate! I have a fenced backyard in my home and 2 dogs who are friendly and love to cuddle as well as play. I can easily crate your dog if need be and provide multiple walks and belly rubs.

Kirsten is always professional, reliable, and kind. She never hesitates to communicate and ask questions if necessary. We have used her before for housesitting and this visit was drop in only. As always, she was wonderful and we know this because our dogs don't even get up when we get home. They're so chill after she leaves. It's a blessing to have her and feel that our pups are happy with her.

About: I was raised in a home with many pets, which has taught me a lot about how to responsibly and lovingly care for many types of animals. I am a current student, so I am available most of the time until October. June and July I will be busy during most weekdays for a volunteer program, but weekends are open!! August and September weekdays and weekends work for me. I believe that communication is key for understanding and creating a respectful and caring environment for each pet. I’m excited to talk with you and get to know the specific needs of your animals.

About: I’ve always wanted a dog as a kid but my parents did not want to take care of it. Now that I’m an adult I love taking care of my dog, coco. He is a large dog and very active. He enjoys walking, playing, and getting belly rubs. I would do the same to the dogs I take care of as if it was my own. I also took care of 4 small dogs at a time for 5 years. Training, playing, feeding, and walking. I’m currently have a full time job so my availability will be right after 5pm. During weekends I’m usually available. Occasionally I have family events, but I can accommodate. I always check up on my dogs when I get home. I have an automated feeder and I created a dog door for them to come and go as they please. During the night I usually have them go into their homes to rest. But usually they free roam.

About: Thank you for reviewing my profile! I am unable to edit, but my preferred name is Astro. I am a 23-year-old ag-business student with a minor in animal science. I am unavailable from 8a-12pm on weekdays, but I am available at any other time to take care of any pets you may have. I have a passion for animals because I enjoy giving them love, just as they give love back to us. This June 2026, I have cared for my former professor's 2 dogs, cat, and goat for two different weeks. I will be housesitting for her this June 21-28, so I will only have availability for walks and drop-ins at this time. I make sure to give all animals extra love while their owners are away. If no walks are bought for housesits, I will give one walk per stay, and if my schedule allows, I'll provide additional. I am comfortable with farm animals as well, if you need care and feeding for them. My pet background: I have 2 years of experience as a kennel attendant: sanitizing kennels, taking dogs for walks, feeding, and medicating both dogs and cats. I also have a few months of experience as a vet assistant: restraining animals for vaccines and nail trims. I currently have a 5-year-old chihuahua and a 4-year-old domestic shorthair cat. My chihuahua has seizures and requires a specific feeding and medication schedule, so I can easily adapt to your pets if they have additional needs. Since I was 12, I would adopt rabbits from the flea market and take care of them until I was in high school. I adopted my chihuahua as a one-month-old in 2020, and have been taking care of her ever since. My passion for animals led me to earn my AA in Animal Science, and expanded my interest in caring for farm animals as well. Animals make me happy, and after my kennel attendant job ended, I decided to try Rover out to continue working in the field I enjoy! June 21-28 I am booked for housesittng, but available for drop-ins and walks. My earliest availability starts 1:30pm on Monday thru Thursdays as I work 8a-12p. Fridays I work 10a-2/6pm so I can drop in before 9a or after 2/6pm. House-Sitting information: I am unavailable to provide services in my home, but I am available for house-sitting in your home on weekends. I have taken care of my former professor's 2 dogs in her home while she has been away a week + weekends, along with her two outside pets of a cat and goat. On weekdays, I can house-sit, but I will be in and out for personal, child, or pet errands. I'd like to note that on weekends, I will need to feed and give potty breaks for my own pets at home, but will return to your pets once finished. In my client's home, I treat it with the same respect as I would in my own home. I also make sure to keep it clean and organized as the owner has left it. I don't wish to make my client's uncomfortable, so I will make sure to ask before doing anything that wasn't previously discussed. For house-sitting, I provide basic cleaning before leaving your home (sweeping and mopping the floors).

About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life with some that are from friends or family. I give what the pet need to feel loved, safe, fed, comfortable. I love pet sitting young to senior dogs. The pet care would fit in daily in my routine from when I wake up to when I go to sleep so like 24 hours. I make pets feel safe by doing things to make them feel safe protecting them from harm way, getting them to trust me to help them when they need it.

Jessika is so great with my puppy! She kept him company during the day while I was at work, and she also started teaching him some commands. She gave me plenty of updates after every visit as well as gave advice on how to feed him and train him.

She was very good with my car who just got out a surgery. She checked for wounds and sent me pictures and made sure she was safe and happy. I would hire her back if I had a need for more pet care in the future. ?

Taylor and Brian were lovely and did daily drop ins with my two cats. They spent plenty of time loving and playing with the cats. I got daily updates on how the cats were fairing and anything that seemed amiss. I definitely trust them with invested and true caring of pets.

Very pleasant young lady. Came over before the pet sitting was to start to meet our dog. Gave updates with pics every time she came by. Even collected our mail and packages for us! Will definitely be booking again.

About: Passionate about caring for your furry friend. When life happens count on me to care for your baby, I think it's important for our pets to have someone to watch them when we are away or busy. I am currently on summer break from work. I work as a part time aide at an elementary school and looking to stay busy and share my love to your pets. I am available everyday. I have a fenced backyard that they can freely roam in and can cage them if you would prefer that. I am okay with indoor dogs and would love for them to cuddle on the couch with me if that's what they like :) my main priority is for your pet to be as stress free as they can be when you are away. I have 2 friendly miniature poodles of my own(I can easily separate them, if needed).

She was responsible, reliable, and so sweet with my cat. I could tell my cat felt comfortable with her, and that meant a lot to me. I’d happily recommend her 🌺😻

Megan took care of our big Akita and did an incredible job. Left detailed report and lots of pictures, fed and walked her for 4 days. Would definitely recommend her and would love to have her help us out again in the future.
