About: I’ve been a dog owner from a young age. I currently have a cat. I have experience with senior dogs and outside dogs, big dogs and little dogs. Love them all! I’m free every weekday evening and can make time on the weekends. I also work from home so if I stay over with your furry friend, I am available to them at all times! I am always very mindful of my surroundings to make sure pets are always safe. I have lots of experience with pet sitting and taking care of pets in general. I also have experience with senior and special needs pups so I can help with any situation!
About: Hi, I’m Kimber! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently share my home with six amazing dogs – so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and responsibility it takes to give pets the best care possible. Because of my experience as a multi-dog owner, I’m comfortable with all types of personalities – from playful pups full of energy to seniors who need a gentler touch. I also have hands-on experience caring for special needs and sick dogs, including giving medications, managing health routines, and providing extra comfort when they’re not feeling their best. Whether your dog needs exercise, cuddles, medical care, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own pack. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and cared for, and I promise to give them the same attention and love that I give my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾 Pet care is truly part of my everyday life. With six dogs of my own, caring for animals is second nature to me—I plan my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks. I’m used to managing different routines, personalities, and even special needs, so fitting pet care into my schedule feels natural. Whether it’s daily exercise, giving medications, or just providing comfort and companionship, making pets feel loved and cared for is something I prioritize every single day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines so pets feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow feeding instructions, exercise schedules, and any medication needs. I also spend plenty of time giving attention, play, and affection—because I know companionship is just as important as care. I always treat a client’s home with the same respect I give my own, making sure everything stays tidy and secure. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely at ease while I’m there.
“My pup seemed so happy when I returned home. It is a wonderful thing to have someone you can trust to check in on your beloved pet while you're away. Knowing they're comfortable and taken care of means the world! Thanks Andrea!”
About: I have been involved with animals my entire life, my dad is a veterinarian, and I worked as a vet tech for over eight years. I’ve also volunteered at rehab rehabilitation centers. I’m very experienced with owning all types of animals, and deeply care about their well-being! I currently work from home and can fit my schedule around caring for my/other pets. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits with flexible timing. I’m very attentive and treat every pet like family. I keep a clean, calm environment, stick to their normal routine, and closely follow any care instructions. I’m mindful about doors, leashes, and safety at all times, and I send regular updates so you feel totally at ease.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
