“Aisha is a great sitter. My pets are my family and I was able to take a vacation without worrying about them while I was gone. The app is great too because she sent pictures of my fur babies every time she came to the house to take care of them. Excellent sitter!”
“Great with Hundo. He has been doing drop ins with Hundo a little over a week. He keeps up the consistency of how we are trying to train Hundo. Then after his visit he give a full communication feedback. I can work without worrying about my new puppy at home.”
“Teigan takes AMAZING care of our animals and gives us peace of mind while we are away that our babies are loved. She always sends pictures and updates and truly cares for our animals!”
“Amanda was awesome! First using any kind of of service like this, we have 2 senior dogs. Amanda sent pictures of them out with her, and very communicative. Will definitely use again.”
“We loved Mackenzie! My pupper who is normally super shy bonded with her almost instantly. She took great care of her and always sent cute pics and updates during her drop ins. We definitely plan to use Mackenzie again in the future!”
“Jensen took wonderful care of Honey and sent many pictures every day. I never had to doubt that Honey was in great hands! I will be using her and her mothers services again in the future for sure!”
About: I've had all sorts of pets growing up. I do have medical training and can handle difficult situations. I currently have two dogs that are rescues and a cat that was abandoned at one day old that I hand raised. My younger dog has an autoimmune disease so I am well practiced on giving medications. Thank you. I can schedule my own hours at my job so I'm pretty flexible on when I can be available. I am available weekends usually with no problems. I am unable to bring animals to my home due to renting. I am able to house sit or walk dogs only at this time.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 9. I have raised several dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am very well versed in potty training, bathing, and responsible play. For many years I have bathed and walked dogs for my family and friends in addition to taking care of my own. I absolutely love animals and look forward to giving yours all the love and attention it needs! I am a stay at home mom whose kids are all in school now. So that means I have a lot of free time for your pets! I currently have a dog who does not like other dogs, so staying at my house is unfortunately not an option. I do however love getting to visit other pets and thoroughly enjoy taking long walks with them or having a play session with them.
About: I grew up feeding and caring for strays. I've had several "fur babies" since 1987 and have done part time pet sitting professionally since 2006. I am very flexible with scheduling but would prefer reliability in scheduling of clients on my calendar, since I maintain a regular part time job. I would be more than excited to come and care for your fur babies. I've been Mom to an elderly blind dog and am currently Mom of two spoiled felines. I don't charge extra for unconditional love.
About: I have worked with animals in volunteer shelters and zoos since I was 8, also have been raised around breeding dogs. We are very highly reviewed and rated in the care for animals and multiple breeders will only use us. References available if needed. Pretty flexible here. We have huge garage and shop with outside fenced pen to play in, crates if needed, country home with lots of room to run and potty. We live on a dead end road with no traffic.

We are available for last minute requests or if someone cancels on you odds are we may be available now. We have new heavy duty leashes, collars and harnesses for sale here at the shop. Please ask if interested. I'm currently working from home with my own business and have time on my hands to take care of your pets. Everything we do is pet related on a daily basis. I have fenced in pen for outside time and lots of room to take walks on a quiet country road. Your pet will get exercise and outside time every couple hours. Baths are also available for small dogs. I can easily crate your pet if you prefer. Our profile says we have cats and i cant get that to change. We do not have any cats.
“This was my first time booking with Kiley and she exceeded my expectations. She was hired for a drop in visit but not only showed up on time, but stayed longer than the scheduled 30 mins to make sure my dogs were comfortable. Two out of my three puppers are typically shy around new people, but Kiley was patient and gentle with them. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her as a thoughtful and reliable sitter.”
About: I'm Steve and I have my own very well behaved 5 year old chocolate lab named Beanie. I am new to Rover, but have references from friends that I have pet sat, watched and walked. I'm pretty flexible at the moment, but do occasionally have conflicting doctor appointments. I can come to your house for walks, feedings but cannot stay the night. I have a fenced yard, pet door to the back yard, a sweet chocolate lab, a helpful mother and a good neighborhood. Call me and see if we're a good fit!
