Cindy did an overnight for us and she was fantastic! She reached out with questions, which we appreciated as it ensured everyone was on track and being fed as they have come to expect. Cindy also responded to my text messages. The only evidence I had she was here is the toilet seat was up. :-) Cindy left the house in fantastic condition.

Kittiya is a super sweet very caring individual. Her professionalism is outstanding as she confirms and is there on time. Normally my kitties do not come out for strangers and they ran right up to her as though they already knew her my German Shepherd very much enjoyed spending time with her, I already have her booked for another visit. I highly recommend her.

About: I am an avid dog trainer and owner. I have raised dogs for the past 5 years, while traveling around the county with my own dogs and those of others for AKC shows. I am a part of a local 4H club, recent graduate, and have attended prestigious events such as the Westminster Dog Show. During this time I have been responsible for dogs own by other people. I have skills with basic and advanced obedience and conformation. Dogs that I have cared for range from puppies to senior dogs. I have a great ability to make connections with all breeds of dogs. I am used to a daily routine of letting dogs out, feeding, exercising, and training. This routine comes very natural for me. I enjoy working with dogs. I am able to keep a balanced and safe schedule for all pets. I am used to meeting the needs for multiple animals. I show responsibility by following clear directions that have been given to me in order to care for the pet.

Lillie stayed with my two dogs in our home for 10 days . She came over to meet them and again right before we left . Her communication prior to us leaving and while we were gone ,was awesome. She also accommodated big changes to our plans . The dogs did great and she sent pictures which made me happy ! This is my first experience with Rover and leaving someone I had just met with "my kids". Lillie did a great job. I would recommend her and will use her again .

About: Though I primarily grew up with cats, I’ve always loved dogs and worked through a dog walking company a few years ago (the only reason I stopped was due to my vehicle being totaled after hitting black ice on the highway). I loved getting to know the personalities and tricks for each dog to keep them happy on walks and visits. For the last four years I’ve been working as a massage therapist and I often miss getting to interact with animals on a daily basis (aside from the ones at home that is). I understand the need for a caring and competent person to interact with and meet the needs of your furry loved one when your at work (or on vacation, etc.) and I am the person to show them that love and compassion. Im currently working part time at the end of the week so I have a good amount of time to take care of your fur baby. Though I'm not able to currently house or take care of pets at this moment, I have my two kitties at home that receive lots of love and attention.

About: I’ve had the privilege of being able to take care of not only my own but many others pets. Every pet is unique and I love the love and happiness they share I am working part time currently and have free time to hang with your sweet baby and take of their needs! I’m very flexible and eager to work. I live in an apartment so I make sure my cat gets all of stimulation and multiple different forms since we have a smaller home than most. I also take my cats on walks as a form of enrichment

About: Hi neighbors! I’m Makayla. If you’re looking for someone warm, trustworthy, and genuinely caring to watch over your pets or home while you’re away, I would love to help. 🐾🏡 I offer overnight stays or drop in visits/walks. I treat every pet like they are my own family—gentle, patient, and attentive to their routines. I am always extremely respectful of my clients’ homes and work hard to keep everything tidy and cared for while you’re away. I also offer “honey do list” services while you’re away (cleaning, raking, painting, etc.) I can provide outstanding local references, offer flexible scheduling, and always send text updates so you can relax knowing your home is safe and your pets are being well loved. If you need a dependable pet or house sitter, please reach out! Petsitting is my full-time career. I am even available on holidays. I’m here whenever you need to give you the gift of peace of mind so you can enjoy your outing knowing your pet is in safe hands. I watch the clients pet in their own home. I strive to follow my client’s pet’s routine as closely as humanly possible and look for ways I can add enrichment with my surroundings and available tools on me.

About: I grew up on a farm with multiple dogs, cats, and lots of other animals. I raised goats for 4 years. I have extensive experience pet-sitting cats, dogs, and puppies of all ages, including elderly pets. I am confident in the care and peace of mind that I can provide you and your pet(s). P.S. When the calendar says I'm available the whole time, it means I haven't set my availability yet. Thanks for your understanding! My main job's schedule is wildly inconsistent. I do this as a side gig, but I would love to do it more often because I'm passionate about animals and love getting to know and caring for people's pets in a way that gives their parents/owners peace of mind while they're away. Depending on the driving distance, I can provide drop-in care for your pet or stay at your place as needed. I have experience pet-sitting for pets that need medications administered/given.

About: I had a golden retriever when i was little girl, and my love for dogs exploded! I have experience with young puppies to older dogs. Playing fetch and walking are my favorite activities to see doggie tails wagging! 😊 I currently work part time and go to college part time. I have plenty of time to take care of your loving fur babies and make them always feel at home! I cannot do pet sitting at home, but I am more than comfortable staying at your home and taking care of your furry animal! Safety comes first!
