“Sophia was amazing! We were first time Rover users and we don’t leave our dogs very often. I was a bit hesitant, but we really needed to find help with our four dogs. She was very thoughtful and attentive to all of our pups needs. I really appreciated the daily communication and photos. We are incredibly thankful for her time!”
About: I fell in love with my first cat Normand, who I rescued outside of my apartment when I was in my early 20s. Since then, my life has changed! He is the best thing to ever happen to me, and I’ve learned how to properly care for cats since. Cats can easily get stressed/ dehydrated especially when furparents leave, and I promise to take a good care of them/ watch for any signs! I also have a Pomsky named Eevee who needs lots of playtime and attention, and is just an angel. Hire me to check in your sweet pups/ take them for walks I currently work 8am-5pm Monday through Friday in healthcare. I am available to do check ins after work in the evening, and all day on the weekends. I made sure my house is cat proofed, and I’ll make sure your home is safe as well! My cats like to open doors, close doors, knock things off tables, and the list goes on. I’ll make sure your house is safe!
“Katlyn came by to feed our two cats while we were out of town, and I could not be happier with the level of communication and attention to detail. A+, would receive cat photos from again.”
About: I have always grown up with dogs! I wish I could have one of my own right now! I would love to spend time with your pup and go on walks or do check ins. My schedule is very flexible!! Towards the end of the week I have a lot more availability! But, we could find a time any day of the week! I am only walking dogs and will not require at my house. However, I will get treats, and food and a leash! I love to walk and I would love a friend to join me.
“Mary went above and beyond to care for our furbabies. It’s a hot weekend and she even checked on our chickens and gave them extra water with ice. Checked in with us each day and photos. We were at ease knowing all were being well taken care of. Mary is definitely our go to now!”

About: I am very passionate about animals and they have my heart. I have raised my own rescue dog, who is now 11 years old. I also have been an animal caretaker at a boarding facility providing all levels of care, including administering medications. I had my own pet sitting business in Arkansas where I cared for animals in my home and at clients homes. I also worked with Rover in Denver, CO! I LOVE animals, I volunteer with many animal organizations and I am a huge animal advocate. I am a student in massage therapy school, I am getting certified to be a yoga therapist, I teach yoga AND I am currently bartending as well! I would love to help you take care of your babies when you cannot make it to them. I know how important it is. My schedule varies, but lets work it out so I can help you!!! I keep all dogs on leashes, I bring water on very hot days and love to get them socialized if that is part of what you would like for your dog! I also love to spend time snuggling with dogs and cats in their home to make sure they are comforted and trust me.
“Lucy did such a wonderful job caring for our cat, Otis, while we were away for a week. The visits were as planned and the cutest photos were shared with us each day. We can not wait to use again!”
About: What sets me apart is the way I treat every pet like family. I don’t just care for them — I play with them, talk to them, and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s fetch, belly rubs, or quiet cuddle time, I’m fully present and committed to making each pet feel safe, happy, and at home. As an athlete and student taking summer classes, pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. Drop-in visits give me a fun and refreshing break in between training and studying — and I love spending that time playing with and caring for animals I care for each pet based on their unique needs and personality. Some just want belly rubs and a potty break, while others are full of energy and love to play — and I’m happy to do it all! I take the time to get to know what each pet enjoys so they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I love to do a meet and greet before visits to get to know the pet before hand to!
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. As long as I can remember I’ve had all types of animals in the house. I’ve also helped train puppies! If you need me to reinforce what you’ve been teaching your pet, I’ve got you covered. Please keep in mind though, I am NOT a professional trainer! :) As of right now, I work at Target and fit in rover when I can. I cannot board any pets sadly since my new apt doesn’t allow extra pet stays. I am always open for walks, house stays, and check ins- as long as they aren’t going to be during long work days :) I have two pets, and have had many pets throughout my lifetime. I feel confident in the love I can give your sweet babies :). I don’t have any ability so take on pets at my place, but as a former janitor, I promise I will treat your space with the utmost respect!
About: I love caring for animals - both my own and for others! I have sat dogs for friends on deployment, taken care of mixed pet households (including cats and dogs), cared for senior and disabled dogs, and have experience caring for a wide range of non-traditional pets as well. I'm currently a stay-at-home dad to a wonderful daughter, and my partner works from home, so I have flexibility in my daily and weekly schedules. I understand that different pets need different care and support. Have a super energetic dog? I love playing fetch and going on long walks. Have a kitty that needs silence and space? I'm happy to provide quiet company and respect their boundaries. I'm attentive, consistent, detail-oriented, and responsive. I take caring for your animals as seriously as my own.
About: Currently I have 2 cats who lived thru f.i.p., a formerly fatal illness. They are spoiled and happy now. They are indoors only,unlike previous ones. Retired, I can now flex my schedule nearly all the time. I live in town,but don't mind driving. I like dogs too,but have had few. I have a cat tower and open doors so these 2 have places to play. I can give meds, and have bathed cats in the past.
About: We are a passionate dog loving family. We’ve never not had dogs in our house, on our beds, in our cars and rooted in our hearts! I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I love being outdoors so walks or backyard fetch sessions are right up my alley. I used to travel a great deal so I know the value of having dependable fur baby care. So, take that vacation and have confidence and peace knowing your pets are in the best possible hands! I treat each dog like I treat my own.. which means, each fur baby gets all the hugs and walks and belly rubs they can handle! If special circumstances exist, I’m very accommodating as I’ve had senior dogs and know the extra care needed for particular pups.
About: I previously working in a vet office I know how to handle all dogs and cats. I understand that both old pets and puppies need extra care. I can come by during the day since I am a stay at home mom I don’t have a scheduled job. I work on my own time. I am currently a stay at home mom, I have all day to give your pets all the attention they need! I’m very dependable person. I will do drop ins at your house. I come by in the morning and evening, while I am there I will walk, or take dog outside, or if you prefer a dog walk I can do that too. While I’m there I will freshen all water and food, of course send you a picture of what your pet is up to.
