About: Hi, I'm Kit! As a long-time animal lover with two little cats of my own, I'm more than happy to watch your pet(s) while you're away. I've been a volunteer at animal shelters since high school, and because of that, I understand that every dog and cat has a unique personality and routine. I've gained experience with feeding and play routines, socialization, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. Whether your pet is playful and social, or shy and independent, I'm ready to adapt to their needs. I’ll make sure your baby(s) get plenty of love, attention, and playtime, and update you with all the best of it so you can travel with peace of mind! I am employed full-time in the loop. Monday through Friday, I'll be in the office from 9-5, but my early mornings and evenings belong to your pet(s)! On weekends, I'll be happy to accommodate any time you'd like. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. Since every animal has different needs and routines, I take the time to carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules. No one knows your baby(s) like you! For drop-in visits and overnight stays, I aim to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while they’re away. During walks, your pet(s) safety is my top priority. I stay alert to the environment, avoid unsafe situations and interactions, and ensure your pet(s) are secure at all times. My goal is to treat every home respectfully and every pet like they’re my own!

“Anusha took great care of my pug Maui while I was away for the weekend, and I really appreciated the updates and attention she gave him. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Maui was happy and well cared for. I would definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

“I’m so grateful for Coral’s careful and loving attention to my two kitties - I felt assured they were in great hands when I went out of town for the first time ever since adopting them. Loved the pictures and the updates.”

About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life. I've had Labs (I currently have a Golden/Lab mix named Joey! He has ALL of the Golden retriever energy), Greyhounds (RIP sweet Gloria and Cougar!), Austrailian shepherds, and German shepherds as my own and/or family pets, and am very comfortable with high energy, big breeds. I love giving extra smart dogs some fun mental challenges to keep them occupied, and of course am happy to rub bellies for as long as the dog requests. I love the high energy and silly quirks of smaller dog breeds too! I've house sat and cared for animals off and on for over a decade, but have just recently reactivated my Rover profile and am looking to accept new clients. I work part time as a yoga instructor, and homeschool my kiddos. My schedule is VERY flexible, and I am often able to pick up day-of requests. I've a Type-A scheduler too though, so I love some advanced notice! I can't imagine my life without pets and feel strongly that a home just doesn't feel like a home without pets. I will treat your pets just like a family member, because that's exactly who they are! I love specific requests, and accomodating exactly what your pet is used to so they don't feel lonely or confused.

“I had to leave my kitties behind while I was away for the holiday and Kristina did a great job taking care of them! I felt good knowing that they were in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Kristina!”

About: I’ve taken care of my family dogs from puppy to senior stage 🐾 My husband and I also recently adopted a rescue dog who is five years old. I’m a housewife and I can cater to weekday walk routines and drop-in visits. My schedule is pretty flexible and open, let’s talk more about what works for you and your pet/s. I offer walking and drop-in visit services only. I will have dog poop bags, pet wipes for dirty paws (and bottoms), and treats on-hand (unless your pet has dietary restrictions). I have experience with dogs with bone/joint problems or arthritis and can give them a light massage/assisted stretch. Walk/visit photos and a doggy report card available upon request!

“Amanda is the best! She was able to befriend my shy kitty, and now he keeps insisting I need to brush him “like Amanda does.” She is an excellent pet sitter.”

About: I’ve dogsit since I was 9 years old, and have grown up with dogs all of my life! I grew up with two big dogs, a small dog, and a medium dog. My family only rescues mutts, and I’ve learned how to navigate their unique behaviors and anxieties. I’ve looked after senior dogs, whom required medication daily. I have trained older dogs new tricks too! I am also an intermediate Spanish speaker. I’m currently working part-time during the summer, and have lots of flexible time during the day to devote to dogsitting. Since I just moved here, I don’t have too many obligations in my schedule yet. With my dog from home, I would usually take her on long walks to make sure that as got her daily exercise and mental stimulation in (sniffing and such) or take her in the back when she got older. Since I offer visits and dogwalks, I will make sure that your dog gets the exercise that they need and meeting them where they’re at.

About: I have spent big part of my childhood in a farm village taking care of many different animals. We've always had cats and dogs in our home and I love interacting with them! Now farm days are gone but my love for animals has always been a part of me. I am longing for more time and interactions with them. More time spent with animals equals more happy moments for them and for me too! I would love to pass this worldview to my kids by introducing them to different pets and feel like Rover would be a good way to do so. My experience is not limited to cats and dogs, I can help with all pets! I have individual approach to each pet depending on size, health, age and exercising they need or any specific requirements. I also provide drop-in visits for playing, feeding, walks, etc. I will strictly follow your instructions and respect your preferences. I will send you photos, videos and updates at all times to assure you that your loved one is having a great time. Any specific requests or questions? Don’t hesitate to reach out. :) I am an energetic person with a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting you and your pets! My schedule is build around my appointments and is very flexible. I am an early bird and morning walks or visits are more than welcome. House sitting appointments would require some time in advance for booking. First and foremost I make sure all pets are healthy and happy. They will get appropriate exercise, frequent walks and potty breaks. Playing and training, treats and smiles. I will keep them company and soothe them with some snuggles.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I currently own two dogs and have plenty of hands-on experience with daily pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and giving animals the attention and patience they need to feel comfortable and safe. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I always aim to make them feel cared for, happy, and loved. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have wide availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. Since I am currently between jobs and looking for part-time work, I am able to be available during many daytime, evening, and weekend hours. I am happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that is reliable and convenient for them. Creating a safe, calm, and caring environment is very important to me when looking after pets. Both of my dogs are rescues, and one has experienced abuse and struggles with anxiety, which has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and building trust with animals. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated with kindness so they can feel secure and well cared for.

“Adam was great! My pup Jax was in great hands. Adam left updates and paid close attention to my pups needs and corky ways. We definitely recommend Adam and will be using him again.”

About: i’ve been taking care of plants and animals for my friends and neighbors since i was watering my neighbors gardens and feeding their chickens. i grew up in los angeles, where a shocking amount of people in my community kept livestock as pets! i’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, parrots, pigs, and chickens since i was 13 years old. im stage/photo a hair/makeup artist by trade when im not working towards my teaching degree. i love taking long walks, and having a buddy who is thrilled to be outside with me is the best. I’m in school from 10AM into the afternoon 4 days a week, but have plenty of time off fridays and on the weekends. i also only do a half day on tuesdays and thursdays! i like getting up early, it makes me feel productive! Animals aren’t like people! they communicate differently, so taking my time and looking for visual feedback on comfort is a priority. i work with animals of any temperament. i believe communication with the family is important in understanding how to make your fluffy (or not) family member feel most comfortable while you’re away.

“Quyn was an excellent caretaker for Pretzel and Rye! Plenty of nice photos and great communication. She also did us a favor of picking up some packages - thanks again Quyn!”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was in middle school— cats, dogs, turtles, lizards; the whole lot. I grew up with a cat and a dog, both of whom have passed, and now have a new dog who is a ball of energy! This past summer, I worked on a horse farm in Greece for a month where I honed my animal behavior recognition skills; I worked with two reactive farm dogs and earned their trust very quickly. I'm fairly athletic and enjoy long walks/runs with dogs, and if dogs could speak English, I'm sure they would give me glowing reviews about my tug-of-war and Frisbee skills. I'm assertive and friendly with dogs, gentle with cats. I'd love to meet your furry/hairy friends! I have administered pills to my dogs normally and clandestinely (with cream cheese, peanut butter), have wiped ears/muddy paws, bathed, etc. I'm pretty comfortable and experienced with most aspects of dog care and will let you know if there's something I don't know how to do. I work at ETHS, so I'm unavailable from 7:30-4pm every weekday starting in August. I also coach basketball during weeknights Tu/Th evenings. I might be able to do a walk or play session on my lunch break if you are close enough to the high school-- message me and we can work this out! Weekends are best for me but I'm pretty flexible! Communication is my upmost priority as I provide frequent updates with photos/videos. I will take plenty of pics/videos of your pets to show you how safe and happy your pets are in my care to give you peace of mind!
