About: I’ve house sat, animal sat, and dog walked since I was a teen for friends and family. I grew up on a small farm in middle of nowhere Alaska, so I have gotten to experience taking care of multiple different types of animals. I love all furry friends and even have a cat of my own, her name is Nina she is 3 years old and my best friend. If you choose me to look after your fur pal, I promise to love and care for them as if they were my own! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time on my hands and would love to share it with your fur pal! I am available for walking and house/animal sitting. Integrity and honesty are my biggest policies. Communication is always a must, even about the little things to ensure the safety of you, your fur baby, and your home.

Our kitties loved Tim, and they were very happy and calm when we returned home. He provided lots of play time for the younger cats, and lots of photos while we were away. I think they were disappointed it wasn't Tim when we walked in the door!

William is a wonderful and very friendly pet sitter. He came to visit prior to the job and do a meet and greet. I was impressed with all his zoo background work and you can tell he loves animals. My cats were happy and he sent me a picture to update how they were doing. He followed instructions, and was prompt. I will be using his services again for sure. Highly recommend.

Allison was a fantastic sitter for our cat Millie! She was very attentive and communicative throughout our trip with daily updates. I knew that Millie was in good hands and she sure showed it once we returned home. Will book again!

About: Hi, my name is Kayla, and I’m a caring and responsible pet sitter with experience looking after dogs and cats. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I have two cats of my own! When I’m not teaching I’m typically home spending time with my own kitties. I’m available most afternoons and evenings and am flexible with hours. I can do overnight stays, drop-Ins, and occasional dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s well-being by following routines, paying close attention to their needs, and ensuring they feel secure and comfortable at all times. I am flexible with expectations and responsible with time management.

Lexi was amazing. I never doubted her ability to address any issue that might arise in my absence. Her communication was daily and kept me abreast of any concerns. She was proactive in predicting potential upcoming challenges and sought solutions so everything went smoothly. Lexi is very professional and met all the expectations I laid out for her before her assignment.

We absolutely loved Kal. She is so good with pets you pretty much don’t even need to give her instructions. It was our first time using the Rover website and we are so happy we found Kal. She is very punctual, reliable, responsible and friendly. We will definitely use her again. Very highly recommend.

About: I have cats and dogs my whole life and I've learned a lot about them. Growing up as a child I learned many things from my mom teaching me about our animals, and wanting to know more because of my love for them. I give animals all the love I have, everytime I see a dog or cat I instantly want to pet them! My love for your animal(s) will be like you loving your own! I am currently working on a flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to help with your animals! I am pretty open everyday but some things might depend on the day! I haven't yet but I would take care of your animal like my own. I currently have two cats and I love them so much! I would love your pets just as much not only at my house but also when I'm with them in your home!

About: My family has owned pets since I was a child. We have owned cats but also grew up loving family members dogs. I have experience in caring, loving, and staying in homes to care for family and friends pets as well as raising and caring for 5 cats. I am currently working full-time but would love the chance to enrich your pets life as well as mine. Even though I am busy, I will make the time to care for your animals as they are family members to you and hopefully soon to me as well. I care for animals by offering all my love. They are some of the sweetest beings out on Earth and should be treated as such. I will take the owners lead on things they do to show love and affection to make sure their animals feel cared for by me just like they do their families.

About: I have cared for animals most of my life. I have cared for common house pets, rodents, birds, reptiles, and even live stock/ farm animals. My life goal is to become a vet and I have experience taking care of special needs animals. I currently work Monday - Friday 9 hours a day but will be home by 4. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 friendly cats that have both been raised around dogs most of their lives. There is also a park down the street that is just a few minutes walk. At the moment I do ask that if your furry family member will be a guest over night that a crate is provided for safety of your family and my own. I can care for your furry friends before I leave for work and after I return from work. I am also free most weekends and can watch them from Friday to sunday Your furry friends will not have access to anything harmful and will be allowed on my furniture. For their safety and mine at night I will have them sleep in a kennel.

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

Kristin did an outstanding job taking care of my two dogs and two cats while I was away for five days. The true measure of that is how relaxed they were when I returned. I highly recommend her and will certainly be using her again.
