About: I volunteer at an animal shelter and I have come into contact with a variety of dogs with different personalities and temperaments. I also have come into contact with a variety of cats with different personalities and temperaments. I scoop my cats litter boxes every morning. I also feed my kitten breakfast and change her water. Then in the evenings I feed both my cats Josie and Cookie. I also take my dogs for long walks in the afternoon. Pet care plays a role in my life every single day. For my cats I feed, change their water, and scoop their boxes. I also spend time playing with my cats with toys such lazer pointers. For my dogs I feed them and take them for walks. I also enjoy playing with my dogs such as tug of war or taking my dogs out for a jog. During volunteering I am in charge of feeding, supplying water, and exercising adult dogs and puppies.
“Taylor is great with our dog and she communicates so well from the time of booking to post visits. She also has been available last minute when we desperately needed help. Highly recommended Taylor!”
“This is my 3rd or 4th time booking Kennedy to look after my cats. She is so reliable, kind, and I know they are in good hands and happy while I’m gone.”
“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”
“We’ve used Rachel twice now, and she does an excellent job! Sends lots of pictures and updates and does everything my kitties need on her visits. Our go-to for every vacation!”
About: I've been pet-sitting for five years for family and neighbors, and loved every minute of it! I worked at a pet store for multiple years and am very knowledgeable in everything pet related. If you need help with amphibians, reptiles, or small animals, I'm also knowledgeable and able to pet-sit them! I am currently a full-time college student but will always have time for your pets! I will be busy with classes for roughly three hours a day and working during the evening on most days. Weekends I do not have classes but will still have work. Please message me for any questions about scheduling around my work and school. I am unable to watch any pets in my home, however I am always open to taking care of any pets somewhere else. I will be able to give lots of love and walks to pets who need it!
About: I have grown up with two dogs and two cats my whole life. I have helped my neighbor with their dog a few times, but I have mainly helped my parents the most. When they are gone on weekends or even for long weeks, I will watch all of our animals and help take care/look after them during the times they are gone. I have put 3 years of experience because I didn't start helping out as much till the end of high school and into college. I do work a part time summer job. My availability can change day to day. Reach out and I can be as flexible as possible. I have two dogs who are well fed and taken care of. I tend to play with them as much as possible and lay with them and give cuddles. My cats get the same treatment and all the animals are very very spoiled when it comes to toys, food, and love.
“Corrinn did a great job with our cats! She was very responsive, always made sure to keep us updated, and sent plenty of pictures. We knew our fur babies were in great hands with Corrinn!”
“Carina is amazing and very professional. My cat is generally shy around strangers, but he warmed up to her right away. I recieved great and descriptive updates, and will definitely be using her services again. Further, Carina is extremely responsive, and was able to fit me in last minute. I highly recommend Carina!”
“Kayla F, who did drop-in visits for my girl dog Luna, was great. She gave Luna extra attention and love, and sent pictures and updates from each visit. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I have always had a pet, and was a dog groomer for two years, as well as became certified. I worked at a pet store for 3 years! I am available 24/7 for pet sitting. They will never be left alone in my care, as well as going on walks whenever you’d like! My cat is my baby so I completely understand how loved your pets are, and will be sure to give them the same amount of love.
About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.
“Gina is fantastic. She communicates everything and went above and beyond with our dachshund. It was wonderful to know someone with vet experience was helping to take care of her as she recovers from an injury.”
“Jenna is so reliable and takes good care of our cats! She takes great photos and gives them lots of attention! I would definitely recommend her to others!”
