About: Premium Pet & Flock Care Tailored for Every Life Stage As a trusted and experienced pet care provider, I specialize in personalized sitting services for large-breed pups, cats, and their smaller furry friends — with added expertise in puppy training, compassionate senior pet care, and even backyard flock care for chickens. Your pets are unique, and so is my approach: I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and special needs to ensure they feel secure, loved, and engaged while you’re away. From teaching puppies good manners and basic obedience, to gently caring for older pets who need extra patience and attention, to providing thoughtful care for your feline family members — I deliver professional, reliable care that goes far beyond feeding and walking. And for families with backyard chickens, I bring years of hands-on experience as a seasoned chicken owner. I can provide attentive care for your flock — ensuring they’re fed, their coop is secure, and they stay safe and healthy until you’re home again. 🐾 Puppy Training: I help reinforce basic commands, house-training routines, and leash manners, giving your young pup the best start in life. 🐱 Cat Care: I provide gentle, attentive care for cats of all temperaments, making sure they receive the affection, play, and routine they need to feel safe and content. 🐾 Senior Pet Expertise: I understand the special needs of aging pets — from administering medication and assisting with mobility to creating a calm, stress-free environment for rest and comfort. 🐓 Flock Care: As an experienced chicken owner, I know how to care for backyard hens and ensure they’re well-tended and secure in your absence. 🐾 More Than a Sitter — A True Companion: My services are designed to give you peace of mind and your pets (and chickens!) a trusted friend they can rely on. You’ll return to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for family every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide loving, attentive care around the clock. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to each pet’s unique needs — whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or administering medication. Because I’m home throughout the day and night, pets in my care enjoy consistent companionship, plenty of interaction, and a stable, comforting environment that feels like home. I’m able to maintain their familiar routines and give them the one-on-one attention they deserve, so they’re never lonely or stressed while you’re away. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine — it’s at the heart of my everyday life. I care for pets in my home by providing round-the-clock attention in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they feel like part of the family. Pets enjoy plenty of playtime, outdoor exercise (especially for large-breed dogs), and cozy resting spots. I maintain their regular feeding and potty schedules and offer lots of love, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day and night. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I tailor each visit to their pet’s routine and comfort level. This can include daily walks, fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and overnight stays for pets who do best in their familiar surroundings. I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and relaxed — and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same care and devotion I give my own — because they deserve nothing less.

“This was my first experience with Rover and I was anxious about leaving my two cats with a new sitter. Hannah gave them very good care and was good about keeping me updated, including pictures of my boys. I would not hesitate to ask her to come again.”

“Heidi did drop in visits for Chelsea over a 3 day weekend. I came home to a happy well cared for cat. Heidi successfully handled my mistake in locking her out of the house.”

“Gabrielle was the best. It was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was prompt and took amazing care of my cats including my girl with special needs. Gabrielle had great communication throughout and took some of the cutest photos.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 2 husky mixes and 3 cats in my childhood home and I currently have 1 cattle dog and 2 cats. I also had the pleasure of house sitting for a few families consistently while they were away on vacations. I work early mornings so I have plenty of the daylight to spend time with your dogs! I’m available after 1pm to do daily walks, checks ins, and will have hours available for boarding. I have a fully fenced in yard and a 2 year old cattle dog that loves to make friends and play but also understands boundaries. I have a cat as well but I have a two story house so she can be separated from your dog if need be! I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. I am very flexible and accommodating to whatever your fur baby needs to feel comfortable and safe.

“Anita did a great job with my cats on her first booking with me. My cats are seniors and they appeared happy and healthy when we arrived home. Anita was very conscientious of what needed to be done for them and followed through with no problems. She sent awesome updates daily. I would highly recommend Anita for your cat care!”

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs that are my life:) They are walked daily and sleep with me. They are part of my family! I currently teach and will be home all day starting this summer. I am home every night as well as on weekends. Your dogs will become part of my family. I live in the country and my dogs have the run of the backyard to play and have fun. If I would be caring for your pets in your home, this would depend on your directions. I would start them off on a leash until they are comfortable with me.

“Excellent attention to details, willing to accommodate me when I booked the wrong date, dropped what she was doing & headed over to care for my babies while I was out of town. 10/10 would recommend Sarah to anyone!!!”

“Rachel is the best sitter ever! One of my us is a VERY fearful dog and she worked with him until he was comfortable with her. Plus made all the visits and took so very good care of my pets through this terrible ice, snow, and single digits crazy weather in (along with the electricity going on and off) nashvile had this year over Christmas!! I was so fearful about leaving my pups to go on our out of state trip and she ended up being a lifesaver!!! Thank you Rachel you are truly the best!!!!”

About: I’ve had a dog since the minute I was born and love them! I have had experience checking in on neighbors animals and keeping them safe and healthy! I currently work as a nurse and am looking to get some more steps to my daily count! I’m currently working days until 3 pm, but will be switching to evenings starting at 3pm. My schedule is flexible and I do not work everyday. Halfway through July I will be starting work at 3pm and available in the mornings. I will walk your dog according to your directions. I will use collar and leash provided to create the best environment for your dog! I can also do drop in visits to let your dog out according to your instructions.

“She did a great job! We had a meet and greet that went well. She routinely stayed longer than the required time just to get to know my cats better. Will definitely be asking for her services again.”

About: I have always loved animals. I grew up taking care of dogs and now that I have moved away from home, I found that I love watching other's pets. I have experience watching my friends and families pets, which gave me a lot of experience caring for different breeds of dogs, ranging from smaller to bigger dogs. I have the patience and experience to make your dog feel safe and cared for. I am currently enrolled in college and I have time in between classes for pet care and most of my nights after 3:00pm are mostly open. During the summer months, I am very flexible because I work part time and get to pick my hours for work. I do not have a problem with the pet being free roaming throughout the apartment while I am there, but I can use a crate if thats what the owner is more comfortable with. While taking the pet outside, I will always put them on a leash because I do not have a fenced in yard. I am pretty flexible with how the owner wants the pet to be cared for, as long as that is communicated in advance.

About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.

About: Hi! I'm Rachel, I am an animal enthusiast looking to help fellow pet owners feel good about leaving their animals in someone else's care. I've grown up with Dogs and cats, (animals of all kinds, really) my entire life. I went to school for Veterinary Technology, worked in a pet store, and an animal shelter. I've met animals of all kinds with all different needs, and I love them all the same. I am available for drop in visits and dog walking on weekends, and an occasional week night here and there! I work full time right now, so I can't commit to boarding as much as I'd love to, and I have a dog of my own to care for, so if you need just an occasional BFF for your dog, here I am! I am comfortable with walks of any length, advocating for dogs that may not want to meet other dogs while on their walks, (I want your dog to know I will always respect their boundaries and I want them to feel safe).

“Thank you so much for the wonderful service, flexibility, and attention to our pets needs over the holiday! Will definitely be in contact for future needs!”

About: I have a passion for rescuing animals that need a home and would love to help take care of any cats or dogs. I have two dogs and two cats that are all rescues. I've also rescued two other dogs, in the past, that I had to put down and fostered a cat. I have experience with puppies and kittens to senior animals that needs medication several times throughout the day. Although I have a full time job during the week and have drill one weekend a month, in my free time I like to keep busy and am willing to help out! Vet checks and keeping up with any recommended treatment is a priority to me. I treat all my animals like members of the family. This year, my dog, Karen, had to start getting injects for her allergies - I'd do anything for my fur babies! This year I decided to volunteer at my dog's boarding and daycare facility for fun!
