About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, from dogs and a cat to ducks and even a goose! I’m a HUGE animal lover. I dog sit every summer for the same family, and genuinely just enjoy spending time with pets! My family relies on me to walk the dogs as well as feed the cat. I’m very passionate about properly caring for animals. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have a lot of down time to take up with caring for pets on Rover! Respect is huge, and it takes a lot of trust to let a stranger into your home. This said, I respect the houses of each client I visit to care for their adorable pooch! I’ll properly care for the pets in your home and give them all the attention they need!
“Eden takes great care of our boy, Charlie. She knows how much he loves the snow and despite how cold or snowy it is, they build snowmen to be destroyed or play fetch with snowballs!”
“Isaiah is an amazing dog walker!! He is very friendly and super reliable! I never had to worry about my dog not being well taken care of. I can’t say I’ve felt the same with other dog walkers we have used. Goose also loves him and enjoys their walks! I would highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve grown up with family dogs my entire life and have loved taking care of my own dogs since I was 11! I’ve trained two puppies myself and also have experience with senior care and administering medication as my previous dog had diabetes before she passed. I am a teacher with summers off so I’ll have plenty of time for all the pets! I’ll be available most days for July and August! I can do whatever is needed for your pets in your home! I can even bring my own puppy if your pets like play dates in the yard or company on their walks!
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8-9 years old, taught proper care and handling as well as respect for all. I have experience giving medicine regularly and as needed, bathing and brushing, assessing comfort levels and giving good ol’fashion belly rubs. I am familiar with strict meal plans and the importance of keeping up their established routines. I follow your furry friends lead, never forcing unwanted attention and respecting their boundaries. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to help watch your lovable puppers and cats! I am available 6AM-1PM everyday with my afternoon/evening availability changing weekly, only requiring a few days notice to work out our game plan. I am currently available for in-home visits and walks, and am fully capable of running around with your dog when needed! I respect all house rules and keep clients updated upon arrival and when I’m departing.
“Adriana has been excellent! very responsive and communicative - it's been a joy to work with her and I trust her with my boy completely (an 80 lbs. 8 year old dog who loves all his smells and peeing on everything!).”
About: I have had 3 dogs and 8 cats throughout my life. As well as rescuing 6 cats and 1 dog from around my county. I love impacting a pets life and giving them the love and care they deserve. I love taking care of all breeds and sizes of animals! I am currently a student and have a few side jobs which makes it easy for me to schedule. I am very flexible with times and dates. I like to get as much information about the pets as I can, including any illnesses/ health issues, favorite toys, favorite food, and any other activities they enjoy. Each animal is different and has their own personality and I think it’s important to take that in account while taking care of them. I have no issues taking care of pets with health or emotional issues, whether this means giving them medication or being aware of activities that can upset or help them.
“Sarah was great! She made time in her schedule to meet with Winston first and asked a ton of awesome questions about him and his habits. She was a pleasure to deal with and Winston LOVED her!! I would highly recommend and we will be using her in the future for sure!”
“Alyssa was so great with my little one. She kept me updated throughout the week, was very responsive and took care of him when he did not feel well. She even got him a toy for his birthday. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid! Growing up in an apartment, I was always around cats and have been taking care of my own for the last 7 years. I am a total cat lady! I have cat-sit for many friends, colleagues, and family members. I've also always loved being around friend and family members' dogs and have dog sit several times, including walking and overnight care. I am patient, respectful, and reliable for providing clear and consistent communication. As a grad student, I am also dependable for responsible and respectful service. I know that trusting someone with your pets is a big responsibility, and I will do everything I can to give your furry family members as pleasant and relaxing an experience as possible while you're away! As a PhD student, my summers are very flexible as I am mostly working on independent research projects and preparing to teach in the fall. I have a car and am able to travel for the visits. Outside of short travel dates, I am usually available throughout the day and can complete multiple visits in a day if needed. When meeting new animals, I always allow the animal to dictate how much they want me to interact with them. Along with the basics of feeding and cleaning up, I always make sure to provide the animals with some play time and comfort. I am happy to talk about your animal's specific needs and how I can best care for them.
About: I have years of experience dog walking and dog sitting. I am an owner or 2 sweet cats myself, and a lover of all animals! I have an open schedule working from home and have the pleasure of spending the days with my own cats and would love to introduce a dog into the home to get me walking in my free time! I have two friendly cats to keep your pet company while you are away! Harlow is shy but sweet and spends most of the day hiding but occasionally comes out for cuddles, while Gunther is very sociable and takes well to visitors! I am very detailed in cleaning litter and maintaining a clean environment, and will also be good to maintain your pet’s feeding schedule either in my home or yours. With my years of pet experience, you can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and properly cared for while with me.
“We hired Amber to walk our dog every afternoon for 2.5 wk. Amber was punctual, cheerful, very gentle and careful with the dog, who liked her. Communication was good, particularly during difficult weather. On two days, we knew in advance that we had to change location for her to park her car upon arrival, and that went very smoothly. We will definitely have Amber on the top of our list for any future pupcare needs!”
About: I've never been without a pet--my family has had Labs and Goldens since before I was born, so I was raised taking care of and training dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to find a trustworthy person to look after your pet, so please don't hesitate to ask me anything that will help you and your fur babies feel more comfortable :) I work part-time 3 days a week, so I have plenty of spare time to visit and walk your pets! My schedule is flexible, so if you ever need to make an adjustment, just let me know! I've taken care of pets with a wide range of personalities, so I understand that different pets need different types of care. You know what's best for your pet, so let me know how you do things and I will do my best to keep things consistent, familiar, and comfortable for your dogs!
About: I have helped take care of the pets in my family since I was little! I love the distinct personalities and quirks that different animals have.

I highly recommend Sierra!”
Jadyne M.
“Jadyne is an absolutely amazing and very considerate pet sitter! I went out of town to visit family for over 2 weeks, and she was fantastic with coming in daily to check up on my cats. She stayed for a few hours at a time every day to check up on their automatic food and water feeders, as well as clean up their litterbox. I was especially appreciative of her attention to detail with the litterbox, since one of my cats is quite picky with the litterbox setup. Jadyne was able to accommodate her pickiness with no issues, which gave me enormous peace of mind on my trip! I was also grateful that Jadyne was willing to stay for a little bit during each visit to spend time with my cats and play with them so they wouldn't get too lonely. She frequently sent photos and videos so I knew they were doing okay, and communication was a breeze.”

He's comfortable and able to handle any situation the pet may throw at him - vomit, bathroom accidents, jumping, barking, medication needs, etc. He is one of the best!”
