“Rebekah provided my cat with excellent care while I was away. She was responsive to all of my questions and requests and completed her job duties within the identified timeframe.

About: I am very attentive with animals, organized, on time, and currently looking for some extra ways to earn a little more cash. I’ll make sure any requests you have are done the way you wish. I can feed, play, walk, and give any medications to your pet if necessary. If you have a usual walking route you like taking i’d be more than willing to comply. I’ve been around dogs long enough to know your basic dos and don’ts. I’m only available on weekends preferably mornings, unless you request ahead of time (no guarantees). please let me know if you have anything specific i should know about your pet thanks you :) I am looking forward to spending a small part of my day with your fur babies :) I currently work full-time, but have more than enough time on my hands on weekends and some weekdays depending on my schedule for the week. I love being around animals, they heal my heart especially after my dog passed last year. I truly desire some kitty or puppy love in my life. I live in a quite duplex apartment complex. I have a genuine love for animals, can follow directions, crate if needed, give medications, and entertain your babies for some time.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do! From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets, I’ve had experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, or giving extra love and attention, I’m confident and comfortable with it all. Friends and family often trust me with their pets, and I always make sure each one feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I’m super flexible and love spending my days with furry friends! I’m usually available on weekdays from early mornings to evenings, which makes me a great fit for walks, potty breaks, or daytime drop-ins. Weekends are more open and relaxed, so I’m happy to help with longer stays or extra playtime. I’ll always do my best to work around your schedule—your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! Your pet’s safety and comfort mean the world to me. I always make sure they’re in a calm, loving environment where they feel at home, whether we’re out on a walk or hanging out inside. I follow any care instructions closely and treat every pet like my own, with lots of patience, attention, and kindness. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well-cared-for every step of the way!
“Tisa was reliable she took time to get our non social babies out. She cared for our fur family while we were away as we would have cared for them. We will request her assistance again.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs for different families. From small to big and young to elderly. I’ve been around an abundance of animals most of my life and truly enjoy it! I have a full-time 8AM-5PM work from home job so your pup will always have my full attention. I am also available on weekends that I am not out of town. I have a fenced in yard and I also have two dachshunds, so if you have dogs that need ramps to get up and down then I’m your girl! My two dachshunds are crated while I am away and our blue heeler has free range of the house. I also own a cat that is mostly outside.
About: I’ve worked at the rescue in my hometown for a few years now, I’ve worked in 2 different grooming salons, and have also been involved with some vets. Working at a rescue and a grooming salon gives you so much experience to learn more about each breed and each dog. You get to learn everything about each sweetheart so we’ll over time that you also start to love them like they’re you’re own. I had to deal with almost every experience when it comes to pets as well. I love dogs so very much they have such a soft place in my heart and it’s always great to get to learn about their owners as well when they’re steady customers! I am a college student so I do have to leave for classes at times. January 6 starts spring semester so I will have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays but will not be away for an extended amount of time. We live where there is a fenced in property, 2 large dogs who are very pet friendly. We take up lots of time with pets staying with us to make them feel as comfortable as possible and just because we absolutely love all fur babies!
“Auther was awesome! He was punctual, always updating me and sending photos. I was nervous leaving our dog with a stranger for the first time but Auther made me feel at ease and the experience was great. I will definitely be using him again in the future.”
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, have been pet sitting since I was 16, and have loved every minute of both :) “Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.” -Albert Einstein I work in the education field as an elementary ASL interpreter, now that it is summer time I have an open schedule and flexible to care for your dog, cat, etc any time. In the pet sitting experiences I’ve had I treat every animal that comes into my care as my own. I try to match the preference of the pet whether that be tons of head rubs and snuggles or distance with only treats, food and water (some cats are introverted and prefer to not be touched and that is completely okay :) In terms of dog walking, I follow the dogs lead on how long they’d like to stroll, one dog in my car previously was 15 years old and wanted to do his business and then be carried back to the house because that tired him out while my Shepard will go for an hour and be overjoyed with any longer.
About: I used to walk to pit bulls when I lived in nashville every weekend. They struggled with pulling on the leash with walk. So I dedicated time to train them on walking. I also watched and stayed with a couples dogs for a week. Feeding them, walking them, playing with them at the dog and much more. I grew up with dogs and one cat. My schedule is open as I work freelance at the moment. Open availability to watch your sweet babies. Mornings and afternoons are preferred but flexible. I live with roommates that have dogs. It’s gated and a 5 level deck. Their dogs are super friendly and love company when anyone comes over.
About: Being a pet owner myself, I have always loved dogs! I am very responsible, dedicated, and reliable! I know how special these pets are, they’re a member of the family & I will ensure that they are treated with such care. I have had many years of dogsitting experience that have prepared me for this kind of position. I am very active, and will give your dog the proper amount of excersise & also lots of love! I have no breed or age preference. I am often available on weekends, but for long trips they must be scheduled in advance. I look forward to meeting your puppy & meeting you too! This is a great way to know that your dog will be in good hands, recieving the care they need!

Victoria L.
“As a child Victoria showed maturity when it came to caring for her own pets. She was a pet "mom" to a turtle, a cat, fish, and four dogs. She showed a caring and kind heart to each animal and will be an exceptional as a Rover pet caregiver.”
Audrey S.
“Audrey has watched our dogs and cats numerous times. Our animals are like family to us, so finding someone to trust our animals with can be stressful. We decided not to take them to a kennel due to cost and the stress on our older dog. We are happy that we found her because she is responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. She even left our house cleaner than when we left it!”
