“This is our third time hiring Merit as our pet sitter while on vacation. She is absolutely wonderful and provides excellent care to all of our fur babies. We have one senior cat with special medical needs and she takes the time to provide the medication to her at each PM visit at not extra fee. She also watches over our hens and most recently, we added two goats to our property for a 4-H project and she tended to them as well. This was a HUGE help knowing while we are away everyone was being cared for as they need to be. She provides very detailed updates with plenty of photos to show what the fur babies are up to. We are already looking at another trip to move our oldest into college later this summer and will definitely be hiring Merit if she's available to sit for our fur babies once again! If you are looking for someone reliable, prompt, caring, and detail oriented our family would highly suggest hiring Merit as your pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to provide care to our furry family.”
“My 1st time using Rover and I'm glad to have had a good experience with Stephanie. I have 2 cats and 1 is on medication so it's kind of a pain in the butt. Everything seemed to go great. Would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
“Joanne has watched our 3 kitties 7 times now, and just booked her again for two future trips. She is amazing and so wonderful with our cats! We come home and they are very happy and comfy... "Oh, you were gone?" LOL. It's so comforting to know they are being taken care of and we have no worries while we're out of town. Turns out my travel for this March is flexible and when I found out she was not available for the weekend, I changed our trip dates. Our cats love her too much for us to even think about another pet sitter, and we do too:)”
About: I know a lot about taking care of dogs due to my whole family having dogs my whole life and needing me to take care of them and even staying the night to do so I have a very flexible schedule and am available whenever you need me! Whether it’s last-minute walks, daily visits, or overnight stays, I’m free to work around your pet’s routine and your timing. No matter the day or time, I’m ready to provide loving care and attention to your fur baby whenever you need it most. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine and respect your space, keeping everything clean and calm so your fur baby feels secure. I make sure doors and gates are always checked, food and meds are given exactly as instructed, and your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I’m always gentle, patient, and committed to earning your pet’s trust—because they deserve to feel safe, loved, and at home.
“we are so happy we had Donnis to take care of our fur babies. she sent us pictures of our babies and always made sure we were not worried about Zeb, baby and frappe. she came to visit with us twice before we left which I loved! she is just the sweetest and we will be using her again!”
“Very friendly. Showed up on time and gave the extra effort to care for my four energetic dogs and elderly diabetic cat. Communicated very well and responds quickly. Already have her scheduled again. Dogs and cat loved her!”
“I can’t say enough good things! She did amazing with our wild pups. We loved reading their report cards from each visit. It’s a great feeling to know that someone is taking great care of your babies!”
About: Trust is important in any relationship, whether it be with humans, dogs, or any other animals. Love and care is my priority. I will do everything I can and be as patient as possible to maximize the trust between your dog and myself. I have had some wonderful opportunities to care for dogs and cats. In my free time I enjoy creating positive, peaceful environments through singing and music, meditation, and prayer. Whether it be with people or animals this is what I bring to the table! Please contact me if you want to know more. I look forward to talking with you! I am beginning a position as a psychotherapist at this time! I am looking to care for animals as I build my caseload. I am available at most times, since I can build my own schedule with my current psychotherapy position. I will not be available Sunday mornings as I go to church. Mondays and Tuesdays will be busier in the long run once I have more clients. Other than that I can work around most schedules. I care for pets with love and empathy! I will not be able to host pets at my home, but I am more than willing to pet sit, house sit, or make visits to your home. Empathy and responsibility are very important to me. Therefore, I value trying to read and understand what people and animals are feeling, and I meet the need accordingly.
About: I grew up with pets since I was a baby. I have learned throughout the years how to care and love them differently. I currently own dogs, cats, chickens and birds which I love all so much. I love showing love and comfort to every animal that crosses my path! I would be very appreciative to make your pet feel more loved and comfortable than they already are. I’m working a part time which allows me to care for your pet more often than not. I am almost always available for your pet when needed. I have learned every dog/cat is different and have different needs. I am willing to learn new things. But I can safely put your pet in crates and give them their meds safely!
“Once again Sierra did a wonderful job taking care of our kitties! I love that she spends time playing with them and giving them attention. She will be our go to sitter every time!”
About: I have been involved in pet sitting and emergency animal rescue for 15 years. I also know animal CPR. YOUR RULES MY LOVE it's Great I am retired so any schedule works for me. Whether it is checking in on your animals or staying with them I am available 24/7 I have a roommate and she and I share dog responsibilities in our house. That's why I am available to sit overnight. We walk our dogs on leash.

“Brooke is a great communicator and took excellent care of our two cats. She has a big heart and is very focused on the well-being of the animals she looks after. She even spent extra time loving on our fur babies!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life from Bullmastiffs to cocker spaniels ! I currently have two cocker spaniels who are crate trained and know basic commands such as sit, down, stay, wait (when door is open or to eat ), come, speak, dance and paw. I used to have a senior dog also so I know how they like to find a nice comfortable place to sleep all day. I’ve been taking care of pets since high school from daily walks to overnight sitting at clients house or mine. I’m comfortable with helping crate train, and teaching them how to not run out the door if it’s left open. I have dog sat 1-10 dogs at a time depending on the situation. I have also pet sit rats, cats and fish. I do not work Sunday-Tuesday and work mid morning to early afternoon with the flexibility to go home and check on the pets. I do like to go on longer walks/ hikes and am always open for a furry friend to join us ! When I’m home the dogs are free range and go out quite frequently and are taken on longer walks 2-3 times a day. I do NOT have a fenced in yard, my dogs tend to roam around the house always supervised. I also have an outdoor leash that covers a quarter of my yard. We have a dog pool for the hot days for dogs who love water and sunbathing ! I have plenty of space for pups and plenty of crates as well! I’m very open when it comes to going to clients homes. If you need me to water plants I can help, feed a fish? No problem ! Warm up the dogs food in the microwave ? I gotcha ! Please just let me know in the messages or in person all their needs and I’m here for you both !

Gratis cat parents share their Rover experiences
I was just as pleased the second time I used her as I was the first. Dogs are super excited to see her and even our timid big dog warmed up to her on just the second visit. If the dogs like her then I like her! She takes time with them as well as my senior cat. Excellent communication and shows up when scheduled. Made the initiative to reach out a few days in advance to confirm we are still good to go. I appreciate that!
