“We almost had to cancel a day trip, but fortunately, Stephanie and Spencer came to the rescue! We truly had a last minute (day before) booking request and they were able to accommodate us. This was our first time having “drop in” visits for our dog, as he is rarely left home alone for more than a few hours at a time. We are happy to say, it worked out well! Our dog loves people, but not other dogs, so we can’t send him to doggy day care when we want to get out and about for a whole day. Thank you, Spencer for checking on Oliver and hope you and Stephanie will consider “baby sitting” for us again.”
“Beth is wonderful! We looked forward to her sweet and funny notes each day :) our cats can be pretty particular, but she worked her magic! We loved the pictures of them following her around, and snuggling up against her. It felt good to trust they were in good hands!”
“Molly did a great job taking care of our cats while we were gone. She even adjusted our ac when I was hot. Its somolly is both dependable and trustworthy which makes our vacation experience even better.”
“Such a kind and friendly sitter! My Pyrenees scares people off quickly, but David understood her breed and was able to make rapport with her quickly! I feel so happy knowing my pup will have someone kind and caring attending to her while I am out of town 🥳”
“Quick to respond, and very kind. Glad we were able to get Eva to stop by so last minute to let our dogs out on lunch. She even sent a really detailed report card! Much appreciated and will definitely book with again.”
“If you're looking for a Veterinary Technician to make a housecall, I recommend engaging Emily. She came promptly as scheduled and administered medications to our visiting elderly kitty saving me from having to load up the cat and drive to vet appointment at a much, much greater cost in time, effort and money. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Sarah was amazing. My kitties are kind of shy and she was able to get them to come out and let her pet them and play. My daughter wants her contact information because she would like to book her to take care of her pets in the future too. We will definitely rebook. My husband says she was fantastic. Thank you so much, Sarah.”
About: With dogs, I helped get them that exercise that they need while having fun! I’m here to help any big or small animals be happy!! I’m currently working at part-time during the summer so most of my mornings are off if your dog or cat needs a simple walk in the morning or a simple run. I have no pets on my own, but I always enjoy taking dogs on long walks or runs in the field all around my apartment
“My'chaela was booked last minute to care for our 15 yo cat, and did a wonderful job, stopping by twice a day to feed & medicate. We booked her again in a few weeks. We have found a good,reliable pet sitter and are looking forward to having My'Chaela provide that care”
About: My family has always had dogs and I have owned my own dogs and a cat since I moved out on my own. I have cared for senior dogs w/medical issues also. My first dog as an adult lived to be 15 and was an insulin-dependent diabetic since she was 9. I have experience administering insulin, measuring blood sugar, etc. I have also fostered dogs and puppies and done quite a bit of successful training (house, crate, place, leash). I work full-time, but I do work from home most of that time. I do have to go into the office about twice a week for classes, but my time is flexible and I do not have to spend the whole day in the office. I live in my own home w/ 2 dogs and a cat (senior neutered female dog, 2 year old neutered male dog and 6-year-old neutered cat). I have a large 6 foot privacy fence in my backyard, which is about 900 square feet on a corner lot. My dogs love my backyard.
About: As a lifelong animal lover with a hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I bring patience, reliability, and affection to every pet I care for. I have experience with puppy training, administering medications, and supporting senior pets with special needs. I’m working part time right now so that leaves me with plenty of available time to go and care for your pets! I got easy access to transportation too! I have plenty experience with stubborn dogs, with having to raise my own two dogs since they were bottle feeding. I can easily manage all the necessities for the bubbies, things like feedings, walks, medication, cleanups, and everything else!
About: We've had pets for 37 years. For the past 11 years, I've been a pet sitter for family and friends. For the past 4 years I've done pet sitting through Trusted Housesitters and still do. I love walking dogs and spending time with dogs and cats. I was a public school teacher for 28 years and retired 6 years ago. I have 5 grandchildren. I'm a nonsmoker, energetic, kind, caring, and structured. I have a profile on Trusted Housesitters with numerous top notch reviews. I'll care for your home like it's my own as well. I'm retired, but do travel frequently. Often my travel involves pet sitting. I have family in Colorado and frequently visit fly there. I love animals! My care will be in your home. I'll follow your rules and routines. I'm very tidy and clean. Your pet and home will be well cared for. Your pet will receive love and attention.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, as well as taking care of others, and know what it takes to make sure your pet is in good care. I have consistently been trusted by neighbors, friends, roommates, etc, to leave their best friends behind stress free… so what’s stopping you!😁 I am currently home for the summer from college and aside from my football training that I do (in the early morning usually), I am very flexible and reliable! I understand how important it is to maintain a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for pets in their own home. I will always treat your home with respect and care, following any given routines exactly as instructed. Whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc. Safety is definitely crucial, so making sure things like doors and gates are always shut, leashes are secure, and I will never leave pets unsupervised in risky situations. Building trust with my client and their pet is very important to me.

I’ve been on Rover for almost 6 years now and I would love to care for your dog in whatever way you need. Don't worry, I love to take lots of pictures/selfies of your animal to send to you as well. Thanks for considering me for your loving dog. Once school starts my schedule will vary and I will keep my calendar up to date so you know my availability. Im pretty flexible with times and communicate that well I will help make your dog as comfortable as possible while giving them the best treatment! I love to send lots of pictures of your pet to keep you up to date.
About: I have always pet sat for people, It’s something fun to do, I love going out and doing stuff with the dogs like going on trials or the beach I’m a full-time student so I’m able to take care of them in the morning as well as between classes and afternoon most classes I get out by 4 and have the afternoon. I have a rescue kitty in my home that is about a year old. Therefore I will not allow any other animals in my home. Being mindful of her
