About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I love giving them the care and attention they need. Animals always brighten my day so it brings me great joy when I can return the favor. My schedule is wide open. I do other side gigs but I’m very flexible and can work around whatever time you or your pet needs me. My goal is for your home and your pets to look just like they did when you left. I will treat your home and your pets as if they were a friends/family members, which to me means respecting your privacy and giving your pet a warm, loving presence while you’re away.
“Clara is great at communicating in advance when there are schedule conflicts (which have been minimal) and in being flexible when things are different for our schedule. And she loves our pup as much as we do.”
About: Discounts for Repeating Bookings - Price Situational/Negotiable I have been caring for and training pets & farm animals alike since I was 8 years old. Friends & family have always relied on me to keep there pets safe in social settings, watch over & care for them over vacations, and as a sitter/walker recommendation for extended friends. I spent a summer as a Dog-Walker for Canine Learning Academy (Long Beach). Now after spending some time away from Rover, I'm ready to jump back in and get my paws dirty! AVAILABILITY — EVERYDAY: (unless specified in my calendar) HOUSE SITTING available ALL DAY ALL OTHER SERVICES 6a-9p Feel free to contact for scheduling. Additional discounts for regular repeating dog-walking/visits are available, feel free to inquire. Animals are our friends, our partners, members of our family. So when I care for my clients I not only ensure regular feeding schedules and potty breaks are timed and met; but I keep in mind that they need that familial connection, and, until they are back with their family, I am the closest thing to that. I take that responsibility very seriously and cherish everything our pets have to teach us.
About: Whether I'm caring for your pets on or off the clock as a veterinary assistant my care and passion for animals shines through ! I love getting to know each pet and their unique personalities that make them, them ! I would be more than able to provide the care needed for overnight and daily stays. Please feel free to reach out and set up a meet and greet ! (: The health, safety, and well being of your pet will be my main priority. Sticking to routine will never be a hassle. Knowing how important a safe space for your pet can be, I am more than happy to be able to offer overnight stays and daily check ins in their home
“Andrea did such an amazing job watching my dog Pixie while I was on vacation. It usually takes Pixie a week to warm up to sitters but they were best buds by the second day. She sent me pictures everyday and treated Pixie like her own. I will 100% be using her again!”
About: I have have multiple years of caring for people's pets. I was a professional housekeeper with my own business for over 20 years and also cared for their animals when they were away. I have been a long time pet owner myself and recently my fur babies passed away. I am looking to earn a little extra income as a senior while enjoying the company of animals. I am a senior and I am retired. Recently my fur babies passed away and I am looking to supplement my income while caring for people's pets. I really miss having animals in my home. I live in a senior mobile home park and I have a fenced in yard. I make sure that animals are safe, fed watered, walked and get plenty of potty breaks. They will get lots of love. I keep the yard clear of poop so that their environment is healthy for them.
“Kelsey was an excellent pet sitter! Our kitties were happy, everything was super tidy, and we received daily pictures. We were easily able to relax while away, knowing Kelsey was taking good care of our cats. We will definitely book her in the future!”
About: I have lived/been around dogs and cats all my life. I currently watch my neighbors 4 dogs while they are out of town which is about every other weekend for work. Therefore, I am good with multiple dogs and the routines that come with them. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats and they are my babies! I treat my animals with love and respect and will do the same with yours! I work part-time hours at a retail store with only 12 hours a week most of the time. So I thought, ‘what better way to spend my free time than with furry friends?!’ I care for and watch my neighbors dogs as needed and I ensure their safety during playtime, meal time, and nap time! I will ensure they are leashed while outside on walks and in a fenced in backyard if applicable.
“Exceeded my expectations in every way. Sarah truly Loves and understands dogs, including puppies. Her effervescent nature and positive outlook have made her a joyful addition to our family. We love her. Trust is hard to find.”
“Tina is wonderful! She met all of our expectations and took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a couple of days. Tina was able to come over at the times we discussed and did everything she said she would, thanks Tina! Would recommend to anyone.”
“Thought that Marissa was absolutely fantastic when it came to caring for our cat! She was very thorough, always provided the daily photos, and felt like she went above and beyond the service that we had requested from her! Would highly recommend her and will use her again!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was younger. I have 10+ years of experience when it comes to dog sitting and house sitting. I always make sure to accompany the pet as often as possible so that they feel cared for and less anxious being away from their owner. I aim to provide the best service and care for pets. I am able to care for your pets or stay overnight any day of the week. My girlfriend who is also verified on Rover helps me with my dog sitting jobs. Thank you! In a client’s home, I can feed, walk, and entertain your pet as needed. I can make sure they have water and food available before I leave to work and I can also put the pet in a crate if the owner asks.
“Kristen did an amazing job caring for our cat twice a day for two weeks, including administering multiple medications! She was dependable and thoughtful. She reached out to us with any questions or concerns she had before and during our trip. She sent photos from every visit. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our cat was safe with her. I would absolutely book her again in the future!”
