Kaitlin was a great sitter for my German shepherd, Admiral! She was very communicative and made sure to check in often with photos. She is familiar with active dogs which was a great benefit as well. Admiral was in very good hands with Kaitlin and I will absolutely use her dog sitting services again in the future!

About: I have had my current dog for over a year and we are training to become a Therapy Dog Team. I previously volunteered at Capital Humane Society for 6 months as an Adoption Counselor. I am currently volunteering at Great Lakes Dog Rescue. Growing up I helped take care of the family dog. I took Veterinary Science at the Henry Doorly Zoo in high school and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Nutrition and Exercise Science. I have experience in training and know how to give dogs vaccinations. I am also happy to provide a basic behavioral profile for your dog for future sittings. I'm currently working part-time in a clinic. Typically scheduled Mondays: 1-7, Tuesdays 12-6, and Thursdays 1-7. Outside of that I have an open schedule and am happy to make time to take care of dogs. I live in an apartment and walk my dogs almost daily. More than happy to do dog introductions before sitting. If it’s a house sitting, more than happy to keep the dogs fairly separate and will take my dog to my apartment instead of leaving the dogs alone. I will never leave my dog and your dog alone in the house.

Mia was great! Having her stay with my cat allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry. She sent pics daily and assured me everything was ok. I definitely will use her again and recommend her to stay with your fur babies!

Excellent communication and very respectful! Our dogs seemed to love her and we felt comfortable being away while she cared for our pups. We appreciated the pictures and updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend Reygan to care for your pups. Thank you, Reygan!

Rebecca was a wonderful companion and the perfect person to stay with Merlin while we were out of town. Merlin can be challenging with a lot of special needs but she was able to handle him quite well. She went above and beyond to make sure he got his pills. She gave us updates every day so we always knew what was going on with him and the house. The house was left in immaculate condition. We absolutely use her again without hesitation!

Kiara did an excellent job watching our pup Yuri for a week. Yuri can be timid but Kiara was patient with him and soon enough he was happy to see his new friend every day! She also did a great job keeping us updated with pictures and kept the place extremely clean and tidy. Would recommend Kiara to anyone!

About: I've had alot of animals since I was very young. Im part of animal rescue and foster care for animals. Ranging from birds to big dogs I've dealt with and took care of all of them since I was young. I'm about to go to college and would love to take care and play with animals on my free time. I sadly can't have pets in a dorm but I can come and take care of them. I will ask where everything needed is. For example I would like to know how to work the bath. Where the bath supplies are for taking care of the animal. Where their food and dishes are. How much they need. Where the toys are. What can they not eat. Just overall care for them.

Brittany is THE BEST sitter ever. She always goes above and beyond to make sure that all the animals are not just cared for, but adored. Every time we have had her she's gone the extra mile doing little things like cleaning a cage, giving them an extra brushing, doing an extra walk, whatever it takes to give the animals the best experience. They all love her and we do too. Cannot recommend enough!

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for at least 20 years. I love each as if they were my own. I also love turtles, and frogs but don’t have much experience with them. ❤️🐸❤️ I can do dog walking, and any other daily drop ins you may need. My schedule is very open for any house/pet sitting you may need also. I’d like this to be what I do for a career. I am willing to stay with your pet in your home and to walk your dogs in their favorite places. I want them to feel at home and comfortable.

About: Lover of big dogs! Cats too (I have 2 of my own) 🐾 Grew up with golden retrievers, I have a lot of patience and love to care for your pup or kitty cat! I work remotely and would happily drop in to help working owners give their pup some attention and a needed bathroom break. Excited to love on your pet - please give me a chance! Will not be able to work with animals with fleas - apologies to the pet & owner. Responsible, attentive, and reliable dog or cat sitter ready to assist! I pride myself on being communicative and caring. I work from home now and am available to help before or after work and on most weekends. If staying in your home, as long as there is Wi-Fi and a working space (table & chair), I'm happy to take out pets as often as needed and be around to give them love and attention! While I cannot being pets into my home, I will pay attention to items within their reach in yours. I will monitor while we're outside and will look for potential issues (throw up, etc) to make sure all is well so you are worry free!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and I am veterinary technician with a year of experience and I’m planning on getting my license in the fall! I also have some training experience and I have a pittie at home with some behavioral issues so I’m no stranger to difficult dogs! I do work a full time job at a vet clinic but I am available over nights, some weekdays and weekends to either stay with your fur baby or just stop in to let them out and feed them! I unfortunately cannot have dogs come to my house, but I am respectful and cleanly! I don’t mind staying at your house with your dog, cat, or any other animal you may have! I am great at reading animal body language and sticking to your animas routine! Your babies needs will all be met and more with me watching them!

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so being around them feels second nature to me. I’ve had experience with a wide range of breeds from high energy working dogs like German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois to small companion dogs like Pomeranians, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m very attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them company and making them feel safe while you’re away. While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve cared for them multiple times and have always connected well with them. I understand that every pet has their own temperament, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m currently working toward my Pilates certification, (which doesn’t take up much of my time as I only do it for a few hours a week) so I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to caring for pets. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and wanted to spend more of my time doing something I love while staying active and productive. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific needs so your pet stays in their normal routine :) I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and energy level, and adjust care to fit them, whether that means more activity or a calm environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean space with plenty of attention, supervision, and regular exercise. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
