“Michael was very responsive and sent updates after his drop in visits. We appreciated his willingness to come on last minute notice. Will use Michael again for future dog sitting needs.”
“Matthew was great with our three cats- tons of pics, litter boxes were scooped, and any messes cleaned up. He was super communicative as well. Definitely will see if he’s available for future visits!”
“Jessica did a great job! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos on each visit. Considering the holidays she was late a few days, but it still kept our kitty on her feeding schedule which was amazing!! Jessica is a great option if you’re looking for a cat sitter”
About: I’ve been house-sitting, dog-sitting, and cat-sitting for church friends and neighbors for the past two years. I also currently provide daily walks and give food and water to a senior resident’s dog. I think pets are great companions. I believe they deserve lots of love and attention and I’m confident that I can provide that for your pets. I have a large availability and am very flexible. I can provide morning, afternoon, or evening walks for your pet. I’m free throughout the week except for Sunday mornings and Tuesday and Friday evenings. I provide drop-ins for pets. I usually come by my client’s house two times a day to feed and check on their pets’ water. I also make sure that I give the pets enough attention, like playing with them or bringing them out for walks.
“Krystle was super attentive to my two wild beasts. She responded to my sitting request on super short notice AND on a holiday weekend. She came over for a meet & greet and asked all the right questions. She was meticulous and not only cared wonderfully for my pups, but took care of my house as well. She was able to pivot when there were issues and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10!!”
“Savannah was a life saver. She took a last minute request to watch our cats after our other sitter canceled. She found time to meet with us beforehand. She was great about sending us pictures and did everything we asked and more. Our cats can be a little skittish and territorial but they warmed up to her which says a lot. We’d gladly book her again!”
“Cami did a great job taking care of our two Soft Coated Wheatens while we were on vacation. She’s an excellent communicator, punctual, and truly cared for their well being. We recommend her to the Rover community and will definitely hire her to watch our fur babies again.”
About: I've been a dog mom to an amazing English Bulldog for 8 years now, and recently added a 3yr old cockapoo to our family! Prior to adding Theodore (english bulldog), we moved a lot and I would dog sit for neighbors and friends to fill up the puppy love cup! I'm comfortable with all sizes of dogs, and I'm comfortable giving medications. I work from home so I have plenty of time during the day to give your animal some love and plenty of potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced in large backyard, so lots of room to run and play! I also have multiple kids to play with your pup!
About: I have almost always had pets in the home, ever since I was very young, ranging from small hamsters, fish, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs alike. I currently have three animals—a twelve year old orange tabby cat, a ten year old gray long-haired cat, and a seven year old Great Dane/Saint Bernard “tripaws” dog. I’ve raised all three since they were kittens and a puppy. I love all animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with oral and injectable medications, as my old man cat is diabetic. I’m currently an online college student studying to become a teacher, so I currently have a lot of free time, especially during the summers. During the school year, I have availability on the weekends. When caring for others animals, I make sure to give them the attention that they need and care for them as if I was their owner. I would provide timely updates to owners so that they are assured their pets are being taken care of.
About: I have owned animals since I was a child. I have my own dog and I love her more than anything. I want to become more involved with taking care of animals and adding joy into their lives. I only work 3 days a week right now at a treatment facility. I have a lot of free time and want to spend it doing what I love which is being around animals. I love walking and enjoy taking pets with me. Anytime I am watching TV or reading a book I ensure the animals around me feel included and safe. Snuggles are the best I have extra time on the weekends and can make time during the week for pet sitting. I want to find time to do what I love. I make sure that they have plenty of attentions while I am there and are e never alone too long and never do without anything they need. I like to make sure they feel extra taken care of since being away from their human(s) is already hard enough.

I’m working towards making pet care my full time job, so I can spend all day looking after animals, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by our four legged friends! I have a house with trails and parks surrounded. I love taking dogs for hikes or even a nice easy stroll through the park. I love playing fetch, cuddling or even just spending time with any fur baby I can find.
About: I’m good with all ages & all breeds. I love to go for walks. I love to take care of animals just as much as I take care of my own. I’m pretty good about being able to work around my schedule flexible hours can be made but available usually seven days a week day and night I spend a lot of time with my animals so I would spend just as much time as I have for the animal that need to be taken care of

I highly recommend Megan to take care of your furbabies!!!”

She is accountable and responsible, as is evident in her ability to use insight and logic in a very instinctive way. She is a straight A student type and excels in technical disciplines also.”
