“Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!”

About: Hello! I’m Morgan, a young student with a passion for animals and pet care. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and understand just how important diligent pet care is. Pets are a part of our families, and that should be reflected in how they are cared for. I began walking dogs as a young kid with our family dog, Hugo, an energetic and lively Weimaraner. Later we got a black lab, Mercedes, and I would walk them together, so I am quite adept at handling multiple large dogs. In high school I began pet sitting for friends and coworkers. I have experience pet-sitting older dogs and younger dogs so I understand the need for careful supervision. I’ve have experience with dogs, cats, and even birds and rabbits! I have full open availability from 6am-3pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday through Sunday I have completely open availability anytime of the day! I pride myself on being and observant and a diligent caretaker. Things like making sure the food and water bowls are always clean. Checking the water bowl consistently to ensure it’s full, keeping track of the time to know they’re being fed on schedule. Both my own dogs and others I’ve cared for have required daily oral medication at different times of the day. I’m very good at staying organized and knowing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Additionally, making sure the animals are receiving proper exercise and stimulation either through long walks or playing with the favorite toys safely.

About: I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover across my whole life. I have twenty years of experience, five of them professionally at Holiday Barn! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so fitting your pet care needs into my weekly routine is a breeze and a pleasure! It’s something I truly look forward to. I’m well educated on animal behavior and the dynamics to keep in mind when entering an animal’s home as a guest. I know how to foster a safe and respectful environment so that we can have a great time together.

“Cat has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I scheduled her last minute for daily drop-in services with my dog, Koko. Even though it was a short turnaround time (I made the request Saturday morning for services starting on Monday), Cat came to our house that same day to meet Koko and discuss what I was looking for in drop-in services. Over the past week, Cat has been an excellent communicator, has consistently arrived on time, and has really catered her care to Koko's preferences (e.g., playing ball with her in our yard, convincing her to eat something at lunchtime even though she's picky). I have already booked another drop-in session with Cat for next week and will certainly continue to work with her in the future! I highly recommend working with Cat!”

“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly flexible, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire stay. Most importantly, she treated my cats like they were her own. I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. She also went above and beyond to make sure everything was clean and taken care of, especially keeping the litter boxes clean. Her communication gave me so much peace of mind, and I always felt confident knowing my cats were in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”

About: I work full time as a Registered Nurse, but I have a love for all animals and would love to hang with your fur babies on my days off. I have years of experience taking care of all animals, I grew up around dogs, cats, birds, horses, frogs, and snakes . We have an aussie named Blue that we love so much and I would love to help you out with your furry friends. I can provide references as needed but can assure you your babies will be in good hands. We can also work on training as needed, make trips to the dog park, or just walk around the block! My pup is really playful so we could also have play dates if you feel comfortable with that.

About: My biggest priority is maintaining each pet’s established routine! I always ask owners about their pet’s feeding, walking, grooming, medication, and training schedules, and I follow their instructions as closely as possible to ensure consistency and comfort while they’re away. If a pet doesn’t have a specific schedule, I typically begin the day around 8 AM with breakfast, followed by a morning walk. I usually aim for about a mile, but I’m happy to go farther for energetic pups or adjust the distance and pace for senior dogs or those with different physical needs. Afterward, I’ll wipe their paws, clean them up if needed, and spend time playing, providing enrichment, or reinforcing their usual training routines. Throughout the day, I balance exercise and playtime with plenty of affection and relaxation. For quieter pets or senior dogs, I love bringing a book and reading aloud while keeping them company and giving them lots of love! During downtime, I also make an effort to tidy up and maintain the home. My motto is to always leave a space better than I found it! In the evening, I typically follow up with dinner, another walk, and some quality time before settling in for the night. I also enjoy cooking, and with the owner’s permission, I’m happy to prepare a little dog-safe treat or meal using appropriate ingredients, provided it aligns with their dietary needs and restrictions. Above all, I’m flexible! Whether your pet thrives on a strict schedule, needs extra exercise, prefers a slower pace, or simply wants someone to cuddle with, I’m happy to adapt my day to whatever makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I am currently going to school part time on Tuesdays and Thursdays so those days are the most difficult to schedule for me. I also work part time at Mad Science of CVA, where I am scheduled by season and typically work once-twice a week for two hours at a time. I can pet sit on these days, but depending on the time of my shift for MSCVA, I may have to leave for two-three hours before returning.

“Emmalee was professional & had a greatt demeanor. She asking good Qs when she visited my home to see the pets and get familiar with their schedules and where things were. Her "rover cards" (which reflected things abt her visits) shared cute pix of my pets and let me know that they were doing well. She went above her duties and was very timely. Her communication (texts/reports) was very much appreciated!”

Caitlin did an excellent job feeding our 4 kitties while we were out of town a few times over the past few weeks. She comes on time, takes such great photos of our babies, and stays to play with them and give them love. Communication is always clear and efficient, and even though this is my first time using Rover she’s made it easy! Thank you Caitlin!

Nick is a fantastic pet sitter! He's super reliable and very good with our cat, who doesn't become fond of people easily. He sends us a picture each time we work with him every day! And he remembers a long time in advance if we book with him early. He's flexible and understanding if we ask for something a little particular like how our cat likes to play. 100% recommend him! What a deal. 🐈
