“Kim is a gem! She took very good care of our cat Frankie - playing, snuggling, feeding, and cleaning up after her. Great communication and pictures. Will definitely book her again!”
“Lisa was wonderful with our cats. We are very lucky to have someone nearby who is reliable, personable with our cats, and sending us pics of their feeding sessions and hangouts together. Our more shy kitty cat warmed up to Lisa very quickly which suggests to us she is dedicated to gaining trust with animals. We highly recommend Lisa to any fur family looking for a loving sitter.”
“Cheyanne took great care of our cat. She came to the house to meet with me and go over everything before I went away. While I was gone she left a note each day explaining what was done during her visit. I would recommend her to others and definitely plan on asked her to care for our cat next time I travel.”
“Kate takes great care of my cats. She is attentive, dependable, spends time playing with them, not just feeding them, and always send me lots of pictures. I recommend her highly.”
About: I am currently offering to watch your dog in my home. I have a flexible job that will allow me to be with your dog 24/7 so I can attend to all their needs and also allow them to have indoor outdoor access. I recently had to say goodbye to my soul dog who was with me for the past 15 years, so your dog will be the only pet in my home while also allowing me to fill my home with the comfort of a dog again. I also know what its like to be a pet owner and the stress that ensues when trying to find a reliable person to care for your pet. I have used Rover many times for my pet care needs, so I know from experience what it means to do a good job. I have cared for all kinds of dogs and puppies. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a free “meet and greet” to make sure I am a good fit. I Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I have a very flexible job that allows me to be available 24/7 if needed to attend to your pets needs. I will follow their typical feeding and walking routines to make them feel secure. I will take every precaution to make sure your pets are safe by following your instructions. I care for pets in my home so will make sure to follow your instructions carefully.
About: Hi! I’m a dog-loving, outdoors-loving hiker who believes every pup deserves safe adventure, enrichment, and pure joy. I’m fully insured and certified in Dog First Aid and CPR. I keep safety front and center so your dog can explore confidently and come home happy and tired. I’ll handle pick up and drop off, send photo updates, and make sure you always know how your dog did on the trail. What sets me apart? I’m combining my love of recreation and dogs to offer weekend hiking adventures designed for smells, socialization, enrichment, fun, and real exercise. I keep groups intentionally small for safety and so I can give each pup personal attention. Prefer one-on-one time? Solo hikes are available—just ask. Every new client/pup starts with a free meet & greet so we can ensure a great fit. How my hikes work I pick up your pup, head to a dog-friendly trail and lead a 1.5 hr hike with frequent sniff breaks, water breaks, and practice trail etiquette. After the hike, I towel off muddy paws as needed, drop your dog back home, and share a quick summary with photos. My goal is a content, relaxed dog who’s mentally and physically satisfied. Safety and standards I’m insured and Dog First Aid/CPR certified, and I carry a trail kit (water, bowls, extra leashes, poop bags, basic first-aid supplies) on every outing. I choose routes and durations based on weather, terrain, and each dog’s conditioning, and I reschedule during unsafe conditions. Is your dog a good fit? Your pup should be up to date on vaccinations and on flea/tick prevention. They should be comfortable on leash, friendly with people and well-matched canine companions, and ride calmly in a vehicle. Active person going to school part time. Available for solo walks in your neighborhood but really looking to get some interest in small group or solo dog hikes. I try to cater to you and your pets needs as much as possible. I will be respectful in your home and communicate regularly so you know how your pet is doing.
About: With a lifelong love for animals and experience caring for both household pets and farm animals, I treat your pets with the same attention and affection you would. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a self-employed designer/printer, so my schedule is very flexible and adjustable based on your/your pets' needs. I am also single, so I do not have any other prior commitments other than work, and I do not have any pets of my own, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I typically housesit/farm-sit, and I seek to adhere to the owners' standards. I am attentive to schedules, tasks & chores, and the pets' attention & affection needs. I keep a clean environment, and I make sure that the owner's home is in the same shape as when they left it.
About: Hello! I'm Holly Heath, and I've been a dog lover my whole life. From caring for my own 12 year old pup to providing daycare and boarding for friends and family, dogs have always been a huge part of my world. I started young, walking a big Akita when I was just 12, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve dog sat for a household with six pups, taken a hyper Great Dane puppy on mini adventures, and worked as a dog walker with Homeward Bound Pet Services for two years. I even had a small handmade dog toy business at one point! I’m a total dog person! I love spending time with dogs in a calm, gentle way, and I’m fluent in dog body language. All dogs are my instant friends. These days, I’m offering frequent short walks with laps around the yard if needed and relaxing yard hangouts at my home. I offer daycare and can board up to two dogs at a time. I'm all about making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work part-time, so I just need a two-week heads up to request time off. Once that's set, all my focus is on your pup, and I’ll be home with them 100% of the day! There will be plenty of playtime and walks as needed through my beautiful yard. I will have a maximum of three dogs in my home at a time, including my own dog, Rosko. Rosko gets excited when he first meets a new pup but quickly settles into his normal self, a calm, smart, 12-year-old mutt who weighs about 25 pounds. He loves to share his toys, watch other dogs play, and relax with a buddy. He’s very respectful and enjoys simply sitting next to other dogs. He’s also great at reading dog body language. I have a large, three-acre yard with open lawns, gardens, wooded paths, and a babbling brook. Your dog will always be on a leash while exploring, but they'll still get to enjoy peaceful walks and all the wildlife smells. Inside, there are plenty of toys to choose from and cozy spots to lounge. It's nice and cool in the summer, and warm in the winter. I will follow your instructions closely and provide the best, most attentive care possible.

I work the evening shift as a nurse and know how hard it can be to find some one you can trust with your babies, especially on the off times. I can provide safe play and walks with or without my dogs, experienced with ferals, ages from young to old and of course lots of love and healthy snacks.also experienced with caged animals and bearded dragons!

About: I’ve had fur siblings all of my life and have never had any issues providing the best care, making sure they are well loved and fed and keeping them active. I’ll provide the best care and help out tidying up the home while you are away. Although I am new to pet sitting I will strive to make sure all of your animals are well cared for under my services. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m located in the Lakes region and I am willing to travel further on my days off. I do have a full time job but my days off rotate. If you are interested in using my services, reaching out about a week or 2 in advanced would be best so I can accommodate my schedule to yours! If you need a longer stay I can definitely make that happen with more of a heads up. I feed and water my cats before and after my shift. When I come home on my lunch I bring out some of their favorite toys and play until I have to head back to work. When I get home we have more playtime and I feed them dinner. Before bed I make sure all of their water bowls and food bowls are full, I clean their litter boxes 4-5 times a week (fill as needed) and do a deep clean once every 2 weeks to keep things fresh.

“Dear Pet Owners, I would like to recommend Caitlyn Porell to care for your pet. I am a school counselor and have known Caitlyn for several years. She has cared for my 14 year old pug on several occasions. He has needed special care and she has not hesitated giving medicine, cleaning up vomit, urine and poop! When I have been traveling she has kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos. She has always been on time, stayed in my home, or taken my Joey to her home. He is always happy and contented when I return home. She is a true animal lover. Your pet will be treated like they belong to her. Sincerely, Sue Fernley”

Laura H.
“Laura was amazing with my dog Sammy while I was away. I have known her for about 3 years now and in the beginning I would leave a note out for everything that needed to be done and she caught on very quickly. Hell, she would even clean up around the house even when I didn’t expect that of her. She was always active with Sammy and he would love it when she came over. I would check in and she would send me the best photos of him at the park! I moved away recently so both of us are very sad she can’t watch Sammy for me, but he sure did love his time with her.”

I have been her friend for many years and have seen her care for her dogs, she is the best dog mom ever! I also have left my dog with her several times because I travel a lot for work. Sometimes I think my dog, Olaf likes her more than me. He is always so excited to go stay and/or see her and is so nice to see how much he loves her. She is really the best! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my little guy other than her.”
Brianna R.
“Brianna has had pets in her life most of her life! She has a very kind heart and way with animals. She has experience with cats, rabbits, gerbils and hamsters and some experience with dogs. Her customer service would be extraordinary because of her work making customers in restaurants happy.”
