Rachelle did such an amazing job! She was great with communicating and I knew boots was in good hands with her. Boots is an emotional snuggly boy and it was nice to know he was getting lots of love!

Amazing sitter! Our cats adapted to hernia going out pretty quickly. Our most skittish cat actually let her touch them! She was very communicative and even let us know how the road conditions were for us to get home.

Amanda has cared for our kitties multiple times and I will keep requesting her. She is reliable, follows instructions carefully and keeps me updated. Most importantly, my fur babies love her. She spends time with them, gives them affection, and makes sure they have everything they need. She is the best!

About: Your dog will be my dog while in my care. I am a huge animal lover who has always made my animals a part of my family, not just an animal. Starting May 4th, I will be training for a new job. My training hours will be 8-5, if you can work around those time please reach out. My yard is not fenced so your babies will only be outside when I am out there with them, leashed if required. I do not agree with leaving a dog alone all night when they are already seeing a difference with their family being gone. If they are dog friendly they would have socialization as well with my friends and family dogs so they could get some interaction and extra exercise! I currently work from home so frequent potty breaks or administration of medication would not be an issue. We would be one big happy family all day long My dogs are not crated when I leave the house but do have an extra large one if required for your baby. If you need me to do a drop in visit, my hours for availability are in the air for the next couple of weeks until I am given my new works hours.

About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.

About: I enjoy caring for cats, dogs, and even reptiles. I currently have 4 cats and a bearded dragon of my own. I have been around animals my entire life. I am able to give medicine to cats and dogs. I am able to walk dogs as well. I work full time M-F. I am available mostly on weekends for dogs but I can do drop in for cats and other animals that need only once or twice drop ins during the week. I prefer to care for a dog in their own home but will assess each request for caring in my home. My cats are not fans of dogs but I am able to separate them into their own space. I am patient and kind when caring for animals. I won’t leave a dog outside on its own and will play catch to help tire them out. I will work with the owner’s instructions for care for feeding times and anything else.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience raising and caring for dogs at all stages of life. Both of my dogs have successfully completed three levels of obedience training, with me as their handler, so I understand how to reinforce good behavior and structure. I bring patience, consistency, and plenty of love to every walk, play session, or stay, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full-time as a teacher, which means I have summers off and weekday availability after 3 PM. Walking and staying active are part of my daily routine, and I’ve found those habits are even more enjoyable with furry companions by my side. Pets fit naturally into my life, and I love making their walks and playtime a highlight of the day. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family. I follow their routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I keep their environment safe, clean, and comfortable, and adjust my care to each pet’s personality and needs

About: I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own and love helping care for other animals. I have experience with high energy dogs, as well as senior cats and dogs. I am now a young 40 something mom and professional who has had pets my entire life! I LOVE animals! I am typically available to provide care in the evenings and weekends, sometimes at lunchtime depending on location, and for extended vacation stays. I only care for other pets in their own homes so I take guidance from you and your pet. Tell me what preferences you have and what your pet's routine is and I will follow that. :)

About: Animals are such a joy to have around! I’ve helped take care of dogs & cats most of my life, & have some experience with puppy training & taking care of older doggos. I’m a freelance artist with a flexible schedule! Happy to adapt to the wants & needs of you & your pets. Currently without any pets of my own, so I can give full attention to yours. Mindful & respectful when house/pet sitting in another person’s home. I do my best to clean up after myself, & honor the wants & needs of each pet being watched. Currently not able to host pets at my home.

About: What sets me aside from the average sitter is I don't just think of your animals as just your pet but as your own human kid. I treat it as it's equal and deserves my eyes and not my phones camera lens. Your pet, and everyone's pet human child deserves a fresh mind. I can help them even achieve any goals/tricks. I'll come with a handful of treats ready to start our day. Pet Care fits in my routine by a breeze. I'm a stay at home mom of 2. I wake up early prepare breakfast, pack lunches, get them ready and off to school they go. I get home do a little morning clean up as I do that I can easily exercise and play with your pet. After the morning clean up (which can always wait till later) I'm ready for your pet and Mine's adventure. At my home I have a fenced in yard, that's a decent size for small or large pets. I am close to dog friendly walking parks/trails. My neighborhood has a sidewalk that wraps around the block so its a nice for morning stroll.

Corinne has been a wonderful blessing! Our fur babies are literally an integral part of our family and not being able to take them somewhere is stressful. With Corinne, there is a level of comfort knowing they are being literally loved on and cared for in our absence.

Susanna was great! Even before booking with Susanna she came and met our cat, Albie, and was very personable in meeting Albie and taking notes on how to care for her. Susanna was great with keeping us up to date on when she was going to do her drop in and even took a few videos of her playing with Albie. Highly recommend Susanna for caring for your "fur-baby" and we look forward to book with Susanna again!

Wendy went above and beyond while we were abroad on vacation! She took such great care of the pups and even helped with other things we didn’t expect like watering flowers and bringing in the trash. She kept us fully updated with pics and updates everyday! She by far is an amazing sitter and I know the dogs love her! Can’t wait to have her back!!!🙏 10000% recommend!!

couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! They took amazing care of my dog while I was away and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when I got back. You can tell they truly love animals and treat them like their own. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Elizabeth was amazing!! Total cat whisper...my cat won't come out for anyone besides myself and 2 other people. My nieces who are total cat lovers and are of age where they don't chase cats and wait for them still can't coax my cat outta hiding. She narrates care and sent a Pic. This was my 1st time using Rover and now my secret is out. Elizabeth is the greatest!!
