Bailey was absolutely amazing! She sent updates, cleaned up after our dogs, and was very friendly. This was our first experience with Rover, and it was great. We would definitely book with her again!

Susanna and her husband are the epitome of great pet sitters. We left very last minute for a family emergency and they both took on the job and did great at it also. Going above and beyond to make sure my house was cared for while we were gone when that wasn’t part of the job description. Definitely rebooking with her for our next family vacation. Thank you guys!

About: Hello! I have around 9 years of experience taking care of pets including cats, dogs, snakes, goats, rodents, and fish. With both puppy/kitten experience and senior animal experience i am confident in my skills and above all care for animals big and small. I am experienced with specialized diets as both my senior dog and cat have special dietary needs, and I've handled giving medicine via shots, pills, and pastes. I do have some puppy training experience as well as working breed care/handling. My farm animal expertise is limited but I am confident I can learn and apply my current skills towards caring for you pets. I am a full time student and work part time as well, so my days can get a little hectic. Rest assured, my furry friends are always given every moment of my free time! I love caring for animals and being surrounded by them, so I always make a conscious effort to be with them as much as possible. Of course your furry friends will recieve that too! Meals and proper walks and playtime will always be provided, and I will do my best to fit into any routines of yours that your pet may be adapted to so they don't get stressed from the change. I make sure to strictly follow all rules set out by the pet parents, including being tidy and respectful in the area at all times. I always come alone, you can always be assured I have your pets' happiness and safety in mind. I do not currently have space to board any animals. I also don't mind doing house chores as needed especially plant care, yard cleaning, poop scooping, etc. Just let me know!!

This is Ashley Sarah's second time sitting for us and she did as wonderfully as the first time. She even noticed a couple of things I forgot to do in my rush to leave and fixed things up. My animals are well-fed and safe! All I can ask for!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog & cat, treating them like my own. I don’t just walk or watch them. I build trust, learn their personality, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every single time. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on giving both you and your pet peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m already used to being consistent, patient, and attentive in my daily life as a first grade teacher. During the school year, I’m available in the afternoons and evenings, which works perfectly for after-work walks, check-ins, or dinner-time care. I’m reliable with scheduling and communication, so you’ll always know your pet is in good hands. In the summer, my schedule opens up much more, allowing me to offer flexible morning, afternoon, and evening care. This gives me even more time to dedicate to longer walks, playtime, and making sure your pet gets the attention and exercise they need. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home, keeping things clean, secure, and just as you left them. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is well cared for. My goal is to give both you and your pet a stress-free, positive experience every time.

About: I am Shaylei, I am 25years old, and I love working with animals. I have had many different types of animals like dogs and cats to take care of while I was growing up. I also work at the Noble Dog Lodge so I do have professional dog care experience as well. I like the cuddlers, playful, and lazy doggies. I can also teach your dog a few tricks if you’d like as well. I know how to teach sit, stay, shake, and a couple more! I’ve dealt with harder to work with dogs, and very laid back dogs. I’ve dealt with Chihuahuas and Dobermans so any size works for me. I've also worked with the hyper puppies and the senior dogs that just need patience. Your pet will be in good hands if you decide to choose me as your main provider for your pet care needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I do work fulltime at a dog boarding and daycare facility. On my days off, I don't mind continuing to provide excellent care for animals that need some extra love while their parents are away. Weather I stay the whole day or do a drop in visit, I always make sure to give each pet the same care and attention. I know your babies miss you and you miss them while you're away. I want them to feel good about me caring for them. So, weather we play fetch, cuddle, or go on a walk I will always treat your babies with the respect and happiness they deserve.

About: I would love to be considered to watch your fur baby!! I love them like my own, and make sure to take care of them like my own :) I currently do photography for income, so I’m pretty much available whenever I do like to keep weekends open as much as possible, but during the day and maybe a few times during the week evenings, I am available!! I make sure to keep an eye out on your dog 24/7 to make sure they don’t get into something they’re not supposed to and to make sure that they are happy and active or taking a nap!

I am available most days and time to care for your pet and try to make them feel as comfortable and excepted while they are with me. I am also working on getting my training business started here in Forset city and am currently an intern with a trainer in Mills river helping out with an agility class on Wednesday nights. having the knowledge and backing of the trainer I have been able to find creative ways to help with dogs who seemed stressed or needing more outlets when with me. I am super excited to start my journey out here in Forset city and cant wait to meet and help the community here. I hope to hear from you and your pup soon, and thank you for considering me to take care of your family pet. I have a fenced-in yard that the dogs can play in when I am home. They are also able to come in and hang out inside as well. I do keep all dogs separated when I am not home and/or able to watch them and at meal time just for safety reasons. I have class from 3ish to 8ish Wednesday. Otherwise i am home the most of the time the other days unless I have an appointment. I have a fenced-in yard part of it is what i call my rainy day yard which is truf grass with a 3 ft fence around it ... I also have a 6ft fence around the while back yard for the dry days that make the play space much bigger ... but who wants to play in the rain anyways lol. I do slow introduction with ever new pup that comes in and go at their pace to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while they are staying with me.

She arrived right on time for her visits, sent so many cute pics, and kept me updated on Penny the whole time. I will def be booking again next time I need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone in the area!

About: I’ve owned and cared for my personal dogs since I was a little girl and been able to care for friends dogs (and cats) as well! I love dogs because of their various personalities and their impact on mental well-being! Being able to walk dogs for a profit is like a dream job for me! I currently run my own small business during the hours of 10-4, so early morning or late afternoon/evening bookings are perfect for me! I live in a rental, so no pets are allowed in my house, but I would be willing to care for your fur baby in yours! Just leave me a list of responsibilities and instructions and I will follow them!

About: I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University and have a passion for taking care of animals in order for them to feel their best every day! I have taken care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes and my family raised 8 German Shepard pups after breeding our family dog. My father is a horse trainer and since graduating from college I partake in their nutritional care as well as physical wellbeing from riding to outside time. My family has 3 dogs and a cat that I take care of daily, with 2 of the dogs outside they must have flea and tick baths and medication as well as brushing when shedding occurs. I provide house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking which will create a personal relationship with the animals I take care of. In the client's home I am sure to follow all notes left by the owners and make sure that the animals feel a sense of normality each day and night. Allowing animals to have the option of play as well as rest is important so the animals do not feel I am intruding in their space.
