“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy with Kristina. She definitely gave me a peace of mind. She sent me pictures and I loved seeing my little kitty girl having fun! Thank you so much Kristina! 🤗”
“We’re absolutely ecstatic about how well Lauren took care of Pacer. She was punctual in her role and left no details undone. She sent pictures and stayed in contact with us whenever i needed reassurance. Excellent job!! We will be using Lauren again for our next trip”
“Mercedes did an amazing job with my puppies. I have a little pup that is hesitant toward new people but she warmed up to her in no time. She played with them and I was able to leave my new additions carefree which means the world to me. Highly recommend her so you also can enjoy your time away knowing your fur babies are well cared for!!! She cared for them as if they were her own!”
“She saved my bacon this weekend! I was out of town for Mother's Day, and somehow made a mistake and didn't book her for 2 visits on Friday. When I texted (because she didn't appear on video on time) I realized the mistake. She sent her daughter right over, and fixed the booking. She's always on time, and that was my first clue that something was wrong. Awesome pet sitter! Thank you!!”

About: I specialize in personalized in-home care for your non-human family. I will take great care of your loved ones, giving them at least the same level of care that you would. I've owned huskies, fostered dogs recovering from surgery to get them ready for adoption, worked with rescue dogs that have "unique" personalities, and cats of all varieties. I offer overnights (dinner through breakfast and post breakfast potty break). I’m a software consultant by day so I actually stay at your home the entire time you’re gone. I will work with you to customize a plan that gives your loved ones the best experience, and gives you the peace of mind that your home and pets are in the best of hands! This profession allows me to combine both my software consulting business and my love of animals at the same time. As I stay in your home for the duration of the assignment, I simply adapt their schedule into mine. I do require a 3 day / 2 night minimum assignment. I respect your home, your timeline and your privacy. I am keenly aware of safety risks and will do all I can to minimize them
About: I have two large dogs of my own that are special needs and high maintenance. I have 5+ years of experience taking care of them and making sure their needs are met. I have also taken care of high maintenance cats. My pet care experience mostly consists of dogs and cats that are old, ill, high anxiety, or poorly behaved. Because of this I guarantee that I can handle any requests you may have! I work at a coffee shop part time. I work mornings 8-1 on Fridays and Saturdays. I work 12-6 on Mondays. I can take care of pets basically any time other than these hours! I provide pets with food, water, love, and care. I clean up after them and give them lots of attention. I give them pets when wanted and anything else they need.
About: Growing up, I have always had a heart for animals. Not only do I have over a decade of pet care experience with a variety of different animals, but I enjoy it so much that I’ve decided to advertise myself to build some business.

Whether that’s overnight sitting, house sitting, or walking, I’m ready and excited to spend time with your pet! We have an adorable labradoodle who has been trained to stay safe in our yard. We play with and walk him regularly, and I have taught him a variety of tricks/commands. I plan to treat your pet the same as my own and keep a watchful eye to ensure he/she stays safe and has fun!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a young child. I have experience with dogs, horses, chickens, and more.

“Steph did an amazing job taking care of my two fur babies! One of them is special needs because he went blind about a year and a half ago, and I was really nervous because I haven’t left him since this happened. I’ve only ever boarded my dogs before and I’m a first-time Rover user but I would absolutely book with Steph again. She followed instructions, sent updates, and went above and beyond. Thank you so so much!”
