Kristine S.

“Amanda is amazing!!! Amanda has a patient, gentle nature and obvious love for cats & dogs; we knew immediately that she was the right fit to take care of our kitty Hazel. We were so impressed with Amanda's professionalism and daily communication. She sent us updates and photos of Hazel from every visit which gave us peace of mind to know that Hazel was well cared for and happy.

“Melanie was fantastic! Not only did she take great care of our furry family members while we were away, but she also regularly checked in with me and shared photos and videos of their antics together. You know a person is good when they get a little smile from our dog--and our dog was all smiles to see Melanie!”

“Toni was very good. I highly recommend her. She sent pictures of them and they looked very happy!”

About: I have taken care of and been around all types of animals animal's since I was a child . I have hands-on experience with basic puppy training, including crate training, leash walking, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I also understand the special attention senior pets require—like administering medication, supporting mobility, and maintaining familiar routines that help them feel secure and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them love, structure, and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior changes and always communicate openly with pet parents so they can feel confident while they’re away. Whether it’s playtime, quiet cuddles, or a careful eye on special needs, I’m here to give your pet the personalized care they deserve. I am currently working from home . I do have a one year old. As well as a cat and 2 smaller dogs . I would like to open my home and care to other pets in the area because I know it can be difficult to find someone to trust with your beloved family members But I am also offering other services such as check ins on your babies , walking them or day care during the day at my home I have a fully fenced yard and dog crates if your pet feels safer being in one . If your pet isn’t a big fan of other dogs , no worries , I will more than likely take my dogs to my. Moms house . I do ask to know if they are friendly with cats . I have 1 young cat .

About: Hi! I work as a Paraeducator at a school, so I have summers off and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than caring for dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! ☺️ My schedule is pretty open during the Summer besides spending every other weekend with friends and family. Once I go back to work in September, I will only be able to house sit as long as it is in reasonable distance from my workplace. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I know every pet is different, so I pay attention to their personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I will also make sure to keep the home clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll give updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to treat your home and your pet with the same respect and love I would want for my own.

“Scott did a great job caring for my cat Smokey while I was away. Smokey can be slow to warm up to people, but he opened up to Scott quickly and was playful and talkative. Smokey had a little digestive upset the day before I was leaving on my trip, so Scott took care to send me details on his eating & litter box findings so I could stay updated which helped me relax! Scott is kind, caring and paid attention to the details. Things were tidy when I got home and Smokey was relaxed and happy. Will definitely book Scott again in the future!”

Sarah F.

“We had a wonderful experience. He took such thoughtful care of our dog and was incredibly flexible when our timing shifted. He also handled a little accident with complete kindness, which meant a lot to us. Our dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend!”

About: *Focusing primarily on cat boarding and care at this time. I will take new dogs on a case by case basis, provided they are well behaved, UTD on all flea, tick, heartworm meds, and rabies vaccine. Cat boarding has become more of my priority. Cat parents, please look for my section on cat care! :) * Welcome to my home, and your cat or dog's new favorite place to stay, Eggbutt Ranch - 3 acres of pet paradise. (For cat boarding- please see cat care details!) Here on my little ranch, I have 3 acres on which I raise and care for my beloved horse, chickens, and goats. With so many different animals and sights to see on the ranch, your pet will have plenty to sniff and explore across the acreage, including the creek (and the wildlife that live along the creek!) that runs through my property. For your pet's safety as well as my animals, I do not let your pet directly interact with the ranch animals, and they are kept on leash, but they can certainly see and smell them as your pet accompanys me on my daily feeding and watering of the ranch animals, getting to see and smell so many new things! Being a remote/online master's student, I am home 24/7 to watch over and care for your beloved pets, and have great flexibility in my schedule. Your pet is never alone, except for maybe an hour if I have to dash out to the grocery store! They do not leave my sight, and enjoy multiple outings throughout the day, generally every 2 hours to go out and go potty, and take a mini walk around the property or play a game of fetch. With every boarded dog, I take them on a daily 45-60 minute walk around the nearby neighborhoods to get exercise and some sniffing enrichment to see and smell even more new things. This is typically conducted in the morning after breakfast, but is highly dependent on when there is a break in the rain. If it is raining, we just look for when there is a dry patch throughout the day and go for our walk then. If your dog cannot handle a 45 minute walk, I modify the walk so that it is shorter and can better accommodate that animal's fitness level and ability. If your dog is very high energy and walk doesn't quite meet their exercise needs, I can also jog/run with them to help get that energy out! Aside from a daily exercise and enrichment walk and mini-walks around the property every few hours, I also try to once daily have indoor or outdoor play sessions with toys. If your dog loves tug-o-war, we play that! If they love to fetch, we throw the ball! If they are not much toy motivated, and just like to snuggle up and get some good belly rubs, we do that too! I try to include play sessions during the day to keep them engaged, mentally and physically stimulated, and happy. Being an outdoors person myself, your dog will also get to join me outside as I continuously work on and improve my property! They get to join me outside and enjoy the fresh air while I keep an eye on them and work on fencing, woodworking projects, gardening, and more. With owner approval, I also take them with me on hikes on occasion at the nearby hiking trails and state and county parks. Your pet becomes a part of my life while they are here. They aren't left out of anything, so they're never bored! For all pets boarded with me, I only take on one family and their pets at a time, in order to keep your pet safe, and keep the number of animals to a manageable level. Rest assured, when you board with me, your pet(s) are the only one getting all the love and attention! Strange dogs or kitties don't always mix well, so I make it a policy to only board one family's pet(s) at a time in order to keep everyone safe. I hold a similar policy for doggy daycare services, I only take on one family's pets per day. If your requested boarding days overlap with a day I am providing daycare services for another client, that is ok, I will just inform you that there are other dogs in the house that day, and keep them separated. I do this for everyone's safety, as strange animals don't always mix well, especially in what may be a new and unfamiliar environment for your pet. Again, when you board with me, your pet(s) are the only ones being boarded at that time due to my aforementioned policy. It may just be that they overlap with a daycare day, which I will let you know of. I make it a practice to send a text/message as well as a few photos of your pet(s) each day to update you as to how they are doing, and to give you peace of mind that they are safe and having fun! If you are boarding with me or using day-care services, I have three partially-fenced acres. Given that it is currently only partially fenced, I keep all animals on a leash/long leash when we go outside for their safety. I use a long leash (22-40 feet long) so that your pet can still explore and run around and have fun while we play fetch and explore around the acreage, but is still safe. Please reach out with any questions, I'd be happy to answer and help! Although this is my first time using Rover, rest assured I have petsat for 15+ years now, for a variety of animals, having begun pet sitting for a large variety for animals of all sizes, ages, and abilities, both domestic and farm, since age 10. Schedule: I'm currently a masters students, in a remote/online program, so I am home 24/7, minus when I run to get groceries. Thanks to my extraordinarily flexible schedule, I have the ability to switch around my own items or "to-do" items in order to meet your pets needs. Safety, trust, environment: I only board one client, or one family's pets at a time, and only take on one client/family's pet(s) per day. This is to not only ensure that your pet is getting my full attention and love, and the number of animals to a manageable number, but to keep them safe, as animals from different families don't always mix well. If your boarding day happens to overlap with a day that I am providing daycare services, I will inform you of this, though rest assured the animals will be kept separate until the daycare clients are picked up. I have baby/pet gates I can utilize for this purpose. I have on hand a small animal first aid kit that I have used in the past for my own animals when needed. This is at the ready in case your sweet pet needs a small cut or scrape disinfected. In the event of a true emergency, I keep on hand a list of nearby emergency vets. During the night when it is time to sleep, dogs are created for their safety. Since it's impossible to keep a close eye on a dog when I am sleeping, I crate them in order to keep them from getting into something they shouldn't, and to prevent any mishaps. All my pet beds and bowls are washed in between boarding stays in order to eliminate any chances of germs or illness being passed between pets. In my home, I am very hands-on with all my animals care. From medications, to grooming, to exercise, training, and daily care and nutrition, I do it all myself, and am happy to provide the same for your beloved pet as well. For any pet boarded with me, or that is in day-care, or that I am providing drop-in visits for, each day you will be sent a photo with a short update on how your beloved critter is doing, including any concerns should they arise. This is something I have always done for anyone I have pet or ranch sat for, as I believe it brings peace of mind for all involved. For cat boarding, I have an empty bedroom in my home that can be utilized as a boarded cat "condo" in which they can be peacefully, and safely isolated from my own pets (4 cats) if needed or preferred, and in order to keep stress levels down if you would like. I can supply scratchers and toys during your cats stay, as well as beds, water and food bowls. Boarding rules: -Please make sure you bring your pet's food, and enough for the duration of their stay! -Please let me know if the animal has any behavioral issues (dog aggression, anxiety, fear, inappropriate elimination, etc). I will not take on dogs that have any human aggression or that have a bite history. -Please let me know if the animal has any medical issues. I can take most of these cases on, I just need to know what to expect, so that I can properly care for the animal, or let you know if I am not the right fit. -Please provide a care sheet for each animal, ideally including their name, age, sex, weight, emergency contacts, veterinarian, any medical concerns, current food and amount they eat per day, their vaccination status, microchip status, as well as any relevant medical or life history. This care sheet will be used not only to provide the best care possible for your pet, but also in case of emergency, should your pet need a vet visit. -Animals must be up to date on their vaccinations and any flea/tick/heartworm medication.

About: I have owned dogs for 11 years now, and still counting. I have pet sat and dog walked for many people; I have experience with different dog sizes, personalities, and training techniques, and have used that knowledge to better my skill set. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant, and have the training to preform any basic medical tasks, should your pet require it. I have also worked with cats, horses, exotic animals and livestock in the past. I am currently working part time form home, so your pets will have plenty of playtime. I am available for boarding or home-visits, depending on your pet's individual needs. I have a large farm for your furry friends to run around on. If in your home, I am very comfortable with yard play, leashes, and crates.

About: I will make sure your animal(s) know I care about them as if they were my own and am eager to pass on my companionship to any other animals when they need a person. I've been house sitting for about 5 years now and have had multiple repeat families. Im currently working part-time so will have time to show your pets love and company. I also have a live in partner at my place that helps make sure im available for overnight sitting out of the house as well! I care for pets in clients home, and making sure that im aware of any escape artists or what exactly is required of me to fully care for your pets-i.e. food times, potty times, if they are able to be left alone and if so then for how long, etc.

“Heidi was so awesome with our cats! She is very kind and a real animal person. We will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I have many years of experience with dogs and cats through personal pet ownership and former employment as a Veterinary Assistant/Kennel Attendant. My husband and I have 6 spoiled dogs and two cats that we adore. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks in the park and throwing a tennis ball for some play and exercise. I I have experience taking care of senior dogs and blind dogs. Also some grooming experience through an on line course and 150 externship hours. I am currently working full time but have weekends off. I am available afternoons Monday through Friday and am currently providing nail trims on dogs and cats. I do not do at home day care yet but I do offer dog walking and drop in visits for feeding, walking and play time.

“We are very pleased with the care Lilly received from Niles and Noella this weekend. Lilly is an elderly lady and they were very kind to her and considerate of her needs. The Rover report cards they sent helped to assuage any anxiety I had about leaving her alone for the weekend. I highly recommend them.”

“We travel fulltime in a RV so it can be stressful when we have to go away and find someone or a place to care for our 2 cats. Leah was very responsive with messaging and was able to do a meet and greet. With her friendly demeanor and experience we felt comfortable with our cats in her care. She was able to provide pill medication daily for one of our cats. Her daily check in messages and pictures kept us in the loop and made us feel even more comfortable. If we were in the area again and needed pet check ins again we would use her!”

About: I have had a dog since the day I could remember. Usually we had 3 at a time! I love animals and would love to be able to babysit your fur baby for you. I worked at a doggy daycare in Seattle for years and I have animals have always been my favorite. I am available days, nights, and weekends- I am going to be a stay at home mom starting in January 2024. I would love to babysit or take your dog for a walk. If you need, I can also come to your home. I have a dog park at my apartments, a safe secure apartment on the 3rd floor where animals cannot get out. I have 2 porches if your pooch would like some Vitamin D.

“🎶“Let me tell you about by my best friend”🎶 No seriously- Chelsie is AMAZING. I have 3 dogs and one of them does not like anyone. On our first initial meet and greet, she was able to get her to take a treat out of her hand! I’ve never had this happen. I knew then that Chelsie would be a hit. She was always prompt, even early at times and stayed with my dogs sometimes longer to give them extra love and attention. I am blessed to have had her watching my crew. She kept me up to date on the going-on’s and sharing such adorable pictures. Thank you Chelsie for going above and beyond.”
