“Elizabeth was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional, friendly and responsive. I felt so safe leaving her with my cat Shredder, especially given her background in pet care and veterinary medicine. Thank you so much for your grace and understanding during the past 2 weeks, it truly meant a lot to me. 100% would recommend to anyone in the area seeking pet care.”
“Ashleigh was amazing! Each visit she provided pictures and updates on how our cat was doing. She did really well with our cat’s insulin injections! We will definitely use her again for future visits.”
“We have a 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy and a 5 year old Lab. The dogs loved Mariah! She did a fantastic job taking care of the puppy and being very respectful of our house. The dogs seemed happy and refreshed. I would recommend Mariah to anyone!”
About: Hello, I've been dog walking for over 4 years, pet sitting included! I have found my niche and caring for animals and making them happy! I not only want to walk and care for them but be their friend. Someone they can be happy to see and trust! I have a few dogs I walk each day but I'm looking for more! I walk each day but have a flexible schedule, looking to care for more fur friends. I currently live with 3 cats so pet sitting here is not ideal but can definitely pet sit at others homes with great care and attention.
“Maya was very communicative and responsive when it came to taking care of Sir, and if she had any issues/questions. I felt very confident leaving my old boy in her hands, and came back to a clean, happy home!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the years—friends, family, neighbors. No matter who it is I will treat your pet how I would treat my own! I work full-time, but I am available late afternoon or early evenings to pop in for potty breaks, play, and feeding. I am also available most weekends! I have my own dog who is 3 named Colby who I have had since he was a puppy. All dogs and cats have their own quirky personalities and I pride myself on learning those quirks so I can better take care of them.
About: I have taken care of family/friends dogs and cats for walking and feeding as well as needed car rides to the park! I have watched hamsters as well. I am a teacher in my neighborhood so it is easy to get to local houses right after school for walks. My daughter is away at college during the school year and have many weekends free. I have a fenced in back yard and have 3 cats. I have watched neighbors dogs when they go on vacation and walk them at the park as well.
About: I have over 30 years of experience, taking care of both cats and dogs. I currently am without any pets so I am looking to do this to help out other pet owners and to fill the void in my heart. My daily routine consists of a fair amount of time at home. I also have the capability of working at home if necessary. As well, I can come home during lunch in order to let pets outside. I live in a calm Street where walks are safe and easy. As well, I love a good long walk on the NCR Trail for dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, donkeys, goats, chickens, ferrets, hamsters, etc. I’m used to being in households with multiple animals. I have a Boston Terrier that I consistently walk. I don’t currently have a job I’m full time pet sitting. However I do take jobs outside of rover and have occasional plans or trips but I’m very flexible. I have a Boston Terrier who I let out on a leash and take on walks around the neighborhood. He typically sleeps in his crate.

About: I have two dogs of my own. I love playing with them and giving them treats. Been trying to get them to do tricks. I have dog sat for 10-15 years for family and friends I am currently at a full time job. So I can always walk them in the morning, feed them, and give them love. After work I will do the same thing. I also have weekends available so I can walk your dog 5 times a day. I have never had dogs come to my home I have always gone to the clients house. But I follow every schedule the client gives me and I always make sure that are not by themselves
