About: I have an associates degree in Veterinary Technology and worked in the veterinary field for 5 years. During that time I would often watch coworker's and friend's pets including both cats and dogs. I am experienced with giving medications and caring for senior pets who may need a little extra help and care! I am currently working part-time with a schedule that changes week to week. I am always available before 8am and after 7:30pm as well as most weekends. In all of my past pet sitting gigs, I have always tried my best to respect other's homes and traditions. I am very flexible and will always respect any and all wishes when it comes to your home an beloved pets!

We booked Dylan for drop in visits for our pets, we have a small zoo and he didn't bat an eye, he was willing and able to care for all 6 pets. He took should good care of all the everyone. Every visit had great photos and fun updates of my animals, it made me feel like I was right there at home and I knew they were in such good hands with Dylan. I will definitely be rebooking him for our next trip.

About: I grew up with dogs, mostly yellow Labrador retrievers. I also had a dog of my own through college and lived with 3 dogs for several years, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, etc. I am working part-time in the mornings, so I have full afternoons and weekends available for pet care. My children are also with me at all times. I have a fenced in yard for safe playing outdoors, and two children who enjoy playing with dogs, so we can keep your dog safe and entertained

Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!

About: I grew up with dogs in my home from birth, and had up to 4 dogs in my house all at different ages. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, and sit for their doggies since I was 8 or nine years old. I have experience working with puppies all the way to senior dogs at the end of their lives. I specifically cared for two of my own senior dogs by providing homemade food, cleaning up accidents, and providing a safe location to go through seizures. I am out of school for the summer, and working a few hours each week remotely. I have ample time to spend with your dog or cat. I am up early on weekday mornings to go to the gym, so I can do early morning let outs/ walks as well as daytime and evening or even overnight care. I am able to come to your home to care for your pet with great daily flexibility. I have a vehicle, so I can easily pop over and let out your pet or feed them/ change a litter box. I can also do a home stay for whatever period of time is needed.

About: I've been a reliable and eager sitter for many people's pets since I was 10 years old. I can check in on your pet and your house, take them for walks and provide other enrichment activities such fetch, playing with toys and lots of petting and belly rubs. I love all animals and I love being outside so I would do great with active dogs! I'm a teacher but I am available before work and after the school day to care for your pet. My weekends are very flexible. I am already an active person so walking your pets would easily fit into my daily schedule. I have a large fenced in backyard. I am attentive and responsible. I will treat your pet like they family member they are to you!

About: I’m an attentive and reliable walker who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. I’m comfortable with leash handling and focused on keeping dogs safe, exercised, and happy on their walks. I have experience with a range of dog breeds (and cats) through friends, family, and roommates. I'm happy to adjust to each dog's needs, whether it's a relaxed walk or a faster pace. For dogs who enjoy it, I can also incorporate light jogging into walks. I'm also experienced with salt and freshwater fish, reef tanks, arachnids, aquatic invertebrates, specialized tank setups, and bird species ranging from parrots and doves to fowl. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and care routines, and helping maintain stable environments during drop ins. I'm happy to provide updates and photos after a walk or drop-in visit. I'm currently a student who occasionally works on-campus a few times per month. On most weekdays, I'm readily available in the early mornings and afternoons/evenings to take care of your pet! On weekends, I'm even more flexible. On walks, I stay attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they don’t ingest anything harmful and to watch for signs of stress or discomfort. I position myself between the dog and the road, avoid high-traffic areas when possible, and choose safer, quieter routes. For birds, I monitor body language and ensure their enclosure is secure at all times. I can handle parrots if needed, but always prioritize their comfort and boundaries. For fish tanks and other small animals, I maintain strict hygiene by washing my hands before and after care. I follow detailed care instructions closely, including feeding, temperature checks, and maintaining stable environments. I ensure all enclosures are securely closed and handled carefully to prevent stress or escape.

About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

Emily was great with our cat Mila and even came to meet her before we left on our vacation. She followed all instructions, communicated well with us, and was very dependable. We were comforted in knowing she would come on time to make sure Mila got her foods and meds, a few treats and also some ear and head scratches.

Ingrid completed 3 drop in visits for my old kitty cat named Phantom. She sent me detailed updates and photos everyday. Phantom has an issue with going potty outside the box and Ingrid replaced the per pads, cleaned up a kitty mess in the kitchen and I came home to a clean litter box. I would highly recommend Ingrid!

This was our first time using Rover so we had no idea what to expect when we booked a drop-in visit/walk. Heidi was fantastic and took great care of Baxter and Lobo on such short notice. They absolutely loved her. The only thing that would have helped even more was a note whether or not they pooped on their walk or play time. Everything else was perfect and we’d be more than happy to have Heidi watch them again.
