I cannot recommend Viridianne enough! This is the second time she watched my cat. She was absolutely amazing with my cat, who is typically very shy and nervous around new people. Her patience and kindness brought him out of his shell. She spent so much quality time with him, making sure he felt safe and comfortable. I also really appreciate the daily updates and pictures-knowing he was in such good hands gave me so much piece of mind. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about animals and goes above and beyond, she is the one to choose! She also is an amazing person. Thank you Viridianne!

Lynnette was great!! We connected easily at our meet-up and it put me at ease since this was my first time using Rover. We needed a little extra care since our kitty had some recent health issues and Lynn was available to meet the need of 2 visits per day. She communicated well while we were away assuring us that everything was ok with our boy. I would totally book her again if the need arises!!

About: I’ve had pets of all sizes, shapes, and needs. I’d love to take your dog for a walk, feed your bearded dragon, or snuggle with your cat. Working from home allows me the flexibility to give special attention or break for a walk any time of day! Your pet will love laying at my feet, exploring my fenced in back yard, or getting some exercise on a walk around town. I have a fenced in yard and an old, friendly dog and 3 cautious cats to keep your pet company. Your pet will have run of the house like they’re at home. I am happy to crate your pet if that is your preference.

About: I have always had a love for animals. I worked in the veterinary field for about 10 years. I have owned animals of my own since I was a small child. I aspire one day to become a certified dog trainer. I have pet sit everything from cats and dogs to goats and sheep. I do work full time but my father lets the dogs out at lunch time. I’m home by 5:30 so if it’s at my house it will be able to play from when I get home until the next morning. If the pet is not staying with me I will go before and after work and stay over if need be. My pets are extremely well cared for. Up to date on all vaccinations and flea medications. They all get plenty of exercise and have free range of the house when someone is home. They sleep in bed with me at night. I have a large fenced in yard for them to play. They are crated when someone is not home for their safety and to keep them out of trouble.

From the moment we met Alex, we knew she would be a good fit. Our dogs were super excited to meet her, but within minutes of her arrival, they were super calm in her presence. She wasn't at all intimidated by 2 big, playful 100-ish pound labs, and they obviously took a liking to her. She double-checked before her first visit to make sure she had all of the correct details; she does a great job of communicating with us and we already feel like we can trust her with our pups.

About: I’ve had many pets of my own so I know how it is trying to find someone to trust to look after them. I’ve also taken care of many of my family members pets. I have the most experience with cats and small animals since I’ve had my fair share of those types of pets. I’m currently going to school to become a veterinarian. I love working with animals and it is my dream to one day work full time with them. I’m currently working part-time so I’m available weekdays after 2pm and occasionally on weekends. I’m very flexible with my schedule so I can be available anytime you need! I have a walking trail right by my house that I love to run on. I would love to take a dog for a run with me. I also have a front yard where they can potty and I have a screened-in back porch to just enjoy the breeze. I do have caged animals, but that shouldn’t be an issue because they will be in separate rooms.

About: I have fostered stray cats and dogs since I was a kid, which has given me loads of experience loving some four-legged monsters ;) As your sitter, I aim to be beyond trustworthy and get to know your pet as well as you do! Whether you need me to match or balance their energy, I will keep track of all expectations. Also, I used to work at a petting zoo and so I am used to all kinds of things! I am consistently available in the early mornings and late afternoons. My obligations during the weekdays start at 11 and either last 2 or 4 hours. I will totally elaborate more on my schedule in our conversations and figure out what works best for your pet, either with walking, sitting, or visits. I come from a family with very high expectations for pet sitters, and it would be important to me to discuss with you the comfort level on what tasks I do to clean up after the pets or take care of the space while you are gone. I intend to achieve any expectations and I believe communication is always the first step to that!

About: I was raised around animals of all kinds. I have experience with puppies, kittens, adult cats and dogs, as well as, senior pets. I have spent time working in a professional dog boarding/daycare facility, and I have gained experiences in dog behaviors, interactions, and care. I can administer medication and follow any special meal requirements including special diets or any special feeding routines or habits. I am comfortable with cats of all sociability and dogs of all kinds. No one is too big or too small! I am at home full time caring for my nieces and nephew ages 2, 10, and 14. I do prefer that any guests are friendly with children, cats, and dogs, but I do have space to separate if needed. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work around yours! I am also available early mornings and late nights to help you provide your pet the best care. Ensuring the safety of your pet is my top priority. I will follow any instructions exactly. I will take extra care with reactive dogs and make sure that I am aware of all triggers and rules that you may have for your pet.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and strong understanding of animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with puppy training—including potty training, crate training, and basic commands—as well as senior pet care, which includes administering medications, supporting mobility issues, and providing extra comfort and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. I’m also highly dependable, communicative, and focused on safety at all times. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home! Working from home helps me ensure your pets routines are met. I am able to take them on frequent potty breaks or do potty training. I can be there for pets that need more attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m watching them in my home or in the client’s home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and stress-free. In my home, I pet-proof all areas the animals will access, remove any potential hazards, and create a calm, supervised space for play, rest, and feeding. I maintain a consistent routine to help pets feel safe and comfortable, and I never leave them unattended for long periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, and any household rules. I keep pets safe by staying alert, keeping doors securely closed, and using proper leashes or harnesses during walks. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep clients reassured and informed. Above all, I build trust by treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.

About: Hello! I have been taking care of pets, my own, for 17 years. I grew up with cats that were my responsibility, and am now a dog owner. I have fostered puppies and currently care for a (near) senior dog. I am pretty flexible with my schedule, and with advanced notice, I can usually meet most requests made. I do take time to travel with my dog on weekends, so I may not be available for weekend boarding. I have a room dedicated as a dog space in my home, and I have the ability to crate dogs as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a tie out cord and leash for dogs that need more attention outdoors.

I have known Kelly her entire life. She is a trustworthy, responsible and reliable person. For her entire adult life, she has had dogs for pets. She has always treated her pets with care, compassion and respect. Their medical care has always been a priority for her. Per my observation, her dogs have been healthy and have lived long and healthy lives. I have found that canines are very intuitive. By my observation, her dogs adored her. If I needed someone to care for my pets, Kelly would be the first person I would think of to call to assist.

Kayla is one of the most incredibly caring individuals I've ever met. I would describe her as very hard working, and positive. In regards to her skills with animals and pet, she shows a great intuition for the needs of pets. She has vast experience dealing with many different types of pets. Kayla also shows a great willingness to go above and beyond to care for her pets. In my opinion she would be a fantastic option for a care giver, she is truly a light of joy to the pets and people around her.

My pets, two dogs and two cats, adore her and get so excited when she comes to the house. I know when she is watching our animals that they are in good hands and feeling loved.

Owen takes great care of my cats and is always willing to stop by even at odd time. They are usually pretty shy with strangers but he took his time to get to know them and make sure they were comfortable. I call him every time I’m going to be away

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and strong understanding of animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with puppy training—including potty training, crate training, and basic commands—as well as senior pet care, which includes administering medications, supporting mobility issues, and providing extra comfort and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. I’m also highly dependable, communicative, and focused on safety at all times. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home! Working from home helps me ensure your pets routines are met. I am able to take them on frequent potty breaks or do potty training. I can be there for pets that need more attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m watching them in my home or in the client’s home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and stress-free. In my home, I pet-proof all areas the animals will access, remove any potential hazards, and create a calm, supervised space for play, rest, and feeding. I maintain a consistent routine to help pets feel safe and comfortable, and I never leave them unattended for long periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, and any household rules. I keep pets safe by staying alert, keeping doors securely closed, and using proper leashes or harnesses during walks. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep clients reassured and informed. Above all, I build trust by treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.

About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Currently I have a pug, Pixie. I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, turtles and cats before. Currently I work part time and have lots of extra time for walks. I am very flexible with changes if you need to add more visitis. I offer visits to your home, 30 minute and 60 minute walks, and transportation services. I treat you fur baby as my own and give them lots of attention.

I have known Aikiera for about 5 years. We met specifically because I was having health issues and needed help with my dog. She was excellent and my dog got so excited to see her coming. We only agreed on walks, but I’d often look outside and see them playing in the yard.
