About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I spent 6 years at PetSmart caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals, 2 years working at k9’s for warriors. Working with service animals, administering meds, caring for sick/disabled dogs. I’ve also volunteered with local shelters and at Grace Haven Homestead, where I cared for animals ranging from farm dogs and donkeys to foxes. I’ve been around all kinds of animals and personalities, and I love getting to know each one. My goal is simple: to give your pets a safe, cozy place where they feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom who homeschools my two boys, so we spend most of our days at home. Pet care fits naturally into our routine because I’m already here throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and company while we go about our normal day. Including any special needs they may need. My kids also love animals, and have been around many to know how to respect them. So having pets around feels like a fun addition to our home rather than a job I’m trying to fit in. I will be the sole caretaker of your animal(s) when here. Caring for pets in my home will depend on if your furry friend is good with kids under 5. My boys are very respectful of dogs and will not bother them. But there will be running, yelling, jumping, playing. Know if your dog is good around kids. We have an acre fenced in yard, plenty of space to run contained. Lots of tree coverage on hot days. Cozy beanbag bed for dogs. We’ll make them feel like family! We have a valley bulldog, cat, and bearded dragon! We love all animals. We look forward to meet yours. Smoke free home. I will be the sole caretaker when your animal(s) are here, the kids will just add love comfort, and fun if they want it!

About: I have experience caring for my own dog and cat, as well as helping take care of my family’s pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, giving fresh water, playing, keeping pets company, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care. I’m available every week and have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available to discuss the best days and times that work for you and your pet. I have experience caring for my own dog and cat, as well as family pets. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and care, and make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment while they’re in my care.

About: Since middle school, I have grown up caring for many different animals. I was responsible for the care of my pets; including two rabbits, three guinea pigs, a leopard gecko, and four snakes. All of these pets lived a very lavish and spoiled life. During high school, I used my volunteer hours fostering dogs, rehabilitating them for their forever homes. The care for these dogs included feeding, walking/playing, training, and medical care. I started working in the veterinary medicine field almost two years ago. This field has given me the experience of providing compassionate medical care, no matter the patient. I am now a full time student studying for radiology. I am a full time student, in which I attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am free in the early mornings and late afternoons of those two days. The rest of the week is completely free besides the 2-3 hours I spend studying for school. I tend to be very watchful with pets and do not like to let animals out without some sort of lead unless your yard is fenced in. I will always prioritize safety over anything else to ensure a safe and positive experience for all parties involved. I also ask that I be either provided an emergency contact and/or a preferred veterinary caretaker in case (god forbid) an emergency does come up. I also ask that if a pet is receiving medications, there are clear directions with clear times to administer medications.

“Ella is an amazing sitter! She tends to our house and our animals like they are her own. Very reliable and communicates amazingly! I highly recommend Ella to watch any of your fur babies!”

About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life and can't imagine my home without them. Animals give us unconditional love, and they deserve the same in return. I have given IV treatments to ailing cats with kidney damage and experience with dispersing meds/pills by mouth. I will treat all your loved ones with the same care that I provide my own. I am retired; I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. I am happy to feed, water and clean pet areas as part of my home visits. I will scoop litter boxes as well. I take their health seriously and fresh water/food is a very important part of staying healthy. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.

“Darci is one of a kind — truly a top-notch sitter. My kitties enjoyed her company, and I’m sure they’ll miss her. We are so glad we found her on Rover. She followed directions perfectly and didn’t need to ask any questions. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were in such capable and caring hands.”

“Emily is amazing!! She took care of both our very senior and puppy at our home and did a top notch job! It’s so nice to be able to go out of town and know our fur babies are safe and having a great time!”

Renee H.

“Jonathan was great, and both of our pets took to him right away! It was great to know they were in good hands, and we would absolutely rebook.”

Katherine & Jason H.

“Riley stayed with my dogs for boarding at my place. I came home to two happy pups. Riley was easy to communicate with, left the space tidy, and kept me updated. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

About: I've taken care of pets for over 50 years and have had the pleasure of raising 5 Golden Retrievers. My oldest girl, Savannah lived an amazing life for 16 years. I've also raised 2 pekingese. I'm the one my friends call when they need a sitter. That will be decided during our original meeting depending on what you feel is best for your animals. I'm open to what you feel is best. I will take care of and love on your fur babies while you are gone. I will also be more than glad to send you photos.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life. I started pet sitting at the age of 12. Since then, I have been responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have experience fostering dogs and walking dogs from the local shelter. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart! I am comfortable providing senior dogs with medication and all the extra attention they deserve. I am available for dog walking 10 am to 5 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am available Saturday from 3 pm to 6 pm. Safety is extremely important to me. I will always verify that the weather is suitable for walk and safe for your pet. Your dog will be on a leash at all time and kept separate from unknown dogs, unless we have arranged otherwise.

About: Hello. I am a lifelong dog owner and dog carer. I have owned a Brittany Spaniel, and a Shischon from puppy-stage through the end of their lives. Currently I care for a senior Lab and middle-aged German Shephard/Rotweiler mix, both belonging to my daughter who lives in Jacksonville with her husband and my 18-month old grand-son with another expected in November. I've been a Rover client and sitter off and on since 2018. I've not been active for almost 5 years during which time I've worked as a freelance researcher on almost a full-time basis. The demand for that work is shifting and I want to return to dog/house-sitting to supplement my income. I am comfortable walking, visiting and house-sitting small- and medium-size dogs, including senior dogs, and am experienced with giving medicine. I have a BS in Business Administration and 30+ years of work experience in the legal services industry. I am a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. I love to walk outside, grill, and sit beside a fire. I'm an SEC fan, so fall is my favorite time of year! I want to acknowledge the one negative client review regarding a client's senior dog. I was hired for drop-in visits . I let time get away from me for two visits. One of the things that Rover does well is notify dog owners know when their sitter/carer is onsite. The owner notified me when I did not arrive within a reasonable time of the scheduled time and I immediately went to the client site. The dog was fine but the owner was obviously alarmed and terminated the relationship. I take full responsibility for those lapses and they will not happen again. I ask for the opportunity to meet you and your pet and discuss if this is a good fit for us all. Kind regards, Suzanne I am a freelance researcher and work remotely from home. I have full schedule flexibility enabling me to meet your pets' daily schedule for feeding and walks. I am able to be present in my client's home throughout the day and night, available to your pet(s) as needed. I enjoy taking them for walk, playing with them and cuddling with them. I'm generally good with letting them sleep with me, depending on their size and temperament.
