About: Hello! I have grown up around animals my whole life, caring for a wide variety of fur babies; horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, even birds. I would love to help you enjoy your travels stress free while providing quality care for your pet(s). I have around 10 years of experience around dogs, and three years ago have become a cat owner. I have experience taking care of animals with difficult care schedules and behavioral conditions, as in the past I have volunteered at animal rescues. I provide a gentle approach around animal’s and aim to provide only the best care for your pet! I am a grad student with a flexible summer schedule, up until mid-August, as I will be moving for school. Until then, I am happy to help look after your pet. I am new to Rover but am a reliable caretaker for pets of friends and family. I follow care schedules very diligently to ensure your pet is healthy and happy while your away :)

“Jennifer took care of my sweet pup for a few hours, including a walk, feeding and some play time. She did an excellent job, provided lots of pictures and updates so I knew my boy was safe and having fun. Thank you Jennifer. (I am a Rover employee)”

“Mel and Kelly were extremely reliable and professional. We zoomed prior to the day and texted leading up. They visited my puppy 3 times in one day to get her food, exercise and love. I had complete confidence while at work, they gave me peace of mind. Maple was happy and the photo updates were much appreciated.”

“I am so appreciative and lucky to have someone I can fully trust like Jacob to check in on my pups! They love him so much and he has consistently shown he goes above and beyond for all of us.”

About: With over 15 years of active pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring compassion, playful attentiveness, and calm confidence to every home I visit. In 2024, I spent four months road-tripping across the U.S., housesitting along the way and caring for 7 cats and 14 dogs in 10 households—ranging widely in breed, age, temperament, and needs. This experience left me especially comfortable quickly building trusting relationships with new animals and adapting to their individual personalities. I have extensive experience with medically complex pets, including administering pills and liquid medications, giving injections, and providing wound care. I understand the importance of consistent routines, detailed observation, and gentle handling when working with animals who require special attention. Whether caring for playful puppies, senior cats, or anything in between, I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work four days a week, Thurs-Sun in the afternoon and evening. On work days, I am available in the morning and late-evening. Mon-Wed I have full availability for all types of care. I prioritize safety and active stimulation for my own pets and those I care for. In addition to maintaining feeding schedules and security, I make sure those animals in my care receive exercise and mental stimulation, depending on their needs.

About: My friends call me "The world's best dog mom" I've had a strong connection to animals since I was a child. I've raised puppies and cared for them in their senior years, managing their aches and pains with the best care, post-surgery care, medication administration- I've done it all. I work from home and am able to offer drop-in visits on the island to check on your fur babies while you’re out. Weekends are more flexible, but can also do weekdays. I currently offer drop-in visits at your home, perfect for potty breaks, feeding, water, play, snuggles, or any special needs they may have, like giving medication.

About: I've always loved animals since I was a kid, and I'd really enjoy spending time getting to know and taking care of your pets. It's something I genuinely enjoy doing. I usually work in the mornings, so I can take care of your pets in the afternoons or on weekends. Let me know what works best for you! This is my first time using a sitting app, but I own two cats and have taken care of many kittens. I'd love to hear your input on how I can become a better sitter for you. Your pets' well-being is my top priority, and I'm committed to providing the best care.

About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve cared for animals for family, friends, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, bathing, and providing daily care. I’m comfortable handling energetic or shy personalities. I’ve also cared for disabled dogs, which taught me the importance of patience, awareness, and building trust with pets that need extra support. I always focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in any environment. I treat every animal like my own and pay close attention to their individual needs and routines. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m currently building my pet care business, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I also offer boarding depending on availability. I always try to be flexible and work with your pet’s routine and needs. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and routine so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure pets are always supervised, in a safe space, and handled gently. I follow all instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they stay happy and active.

“Natalie was prompt, reliable, and took great care of my two cats while I was away! She cleaned up a mess for me when one of them got sick overnight, and was overall a great communicator.”

About: I have been a pet lover my whole 44 years. I have owned cats and dogs of many breeds, ranging from kitten care to senior pooches needing med regimens. Currently loving on a chinchilla at home, I am delighted to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. This is currently my only gig, so I have all the time to spend with your loved ones. Always happy to discuss complicated pet needs. Care in a client home is at each client’s discretion. You tell me what your love needs and I’ll get it done. You can trust me to communicate important issues and just take care of the small stuff.

About: I’ve grown up caring for a variety of pets, including cats, bunnies, and a dog, so I understand the unique needs of different animals. I’m patient, reliable, and love spending time playing, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I’m comfortable caring for both young and senior pets, and I enjoy creating a safe, happy environment for them. Your pets will be treated like part of my family! Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m happy to work around each owner’s schedule. I’m available during the day or evening and make sure pets are fed on time, cared for properly, and given attention and playtime while their owner is away. I really enjoy being around animals and always focus on making sure they’re safe and well cared for. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their instructions, keep things clean, refresh food and water, and spend time checking on and caring for the pet. I’m respectful of the home and make sure everything stays secure.

“Melissa is a natural with Wilson and Gatsby. They love to see her and cry when she leaves. Thanks so much Melissa. Wilson are looking forward to that beach walk.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have helped take care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, including a puppy, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I can also do overnights! I have experience with rescue dogs and dogs from abusive households - I understand that every animal has a different personality and needs different levels of patience and attention. I love animals and always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have two dogs- a Black Mouth Cur named Koa who was a rescue from Hawaii and an Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees Mix named Chung from a shelter in Tacoma. I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe while their owners are away. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I also have experience with rescue dogs and understand the importance of patience when working with shy or nervous pets.

“We are very happy with the care and communication Emily provided. She even stopped by the vet and picked up a perscription I forgot to get before leaving town. We were able to relax while visiting family knowing our kitty was being well taken care of.”
