About: I have had dogs since I was 3 years old. Currently do not have a dog of my own but still dog sit for my mom when she goes out of town or comes visits me. Have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and puppies. Young professional in seasonal type job. My work is currently in the slow season so have plenty of time for dogs/puppies. I also have all my weekends available to puppy sit. I live in an apartment but there are plenty of walking trails and parks nearby. I also have plenty of time off and no weekend commitments so I can stay at your home so the pups are more comfortable.

Felicia went *above* above and beyond with my skittish cat! She sent such nice updates and lots of photos, brought extra treats for my lil man, and experimented with different ways to engage him. He was having big trouble before my trip, as he’d recently lost his brother – so I was extremely worried about leaving him. Felicia took that to heart and loved on him as if he were her own. She must have a sixth cat sense, because my cat is very shy and skittish; despite that, he quickly became comfortable with her, and even endured a building-wide alarm test without any residual trauma upon my return. That speaks volumes about how Felicia put him at ease! I can’t recommend her as a cat sitter enough.

Rachel is the best!! This was my first time leaving my cat since getting him and I was so anxious beforehand but she did such a great job!! Never once did she forget to check in and give me the best overall summary of how my cat was doing, I was only gone a few days but I was never worried. She takes wonderful pictures of playtime and will always make sure to keep you updated how your pet is doing while you are away. Extremely professional would 100% book her again!!

Marcus was absolutely amazing! He gave detailed updates and took some of the cutest pictures of my babies ever. He made me feel so comfortable leaving my kitties for a week. I knew that they were well taken care of and had plenty of play time and attention while I was away. One of my cats had a little bit of a stomach issue and Marcus was a champ about cleaning up the accidents and working with me to help resolve my kitties upset stomach. I will definitely be reaching out to Marcus again next time I am out of town. 10/10 would recommend to a friend or any other Rover user.

We hired Alex to take care of our cat, and while we were away our backyard bunnies got loose! He visited multiple times that evening and morning, found the bunnies, and secured them in their hutch! Thanks Alex for saving those little rascals!

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since a young age and have recently adopted a Great Pyrenees mix that has taken many hours of training and desensitizing to the world due to his difficult prior life. I adore my interactions with dogs and will treat them as if they are my own. I am currently not working but will be going back to work part-time over the next couple months. Right now my schedule is open and I spend most my time with my dog at home or socializing/playing with him on a friend's property with many different types of dogs. I have a yard with a 4 foot fence lining one side, 6 foot along the rest and a two story house with a basement. My rescue dog gets along great with other dogs and would love to have the company. I have many toys and games for dogs that come over as well as a dog friendly neighborhood and parks to walk in.

About: Hi there! I'm Daisy. I am a lover of all animals. It brings me so much joy to learn from them, play with them, and get to know their unique personalities. I have had a variety of different pets all my life, from cats to guinea pigs, mice, etc. In addition, I have experience fostering cats and dogs as well as doing wildlife rescue and rehab (raccoons, birds, possums, etc.). Caring for animals is truly my passion. I would love to work at an animal rehab center or a wildlife sanctuary. Every time I pet sit it gives me more insight into how I can provide better care and I love any chance to meet a new animal. I know that when a pet's owner is away, it can be tough for them to transition so my goal is to make that transition as smooth (and fun!) for them as possible. I have skills administering medication as well as caring for animals that have anxiety/trust issues. My last cat, Scooter, passed away at the old age of 17 and I still miss him dearly. Since his passing, I have taken on countless pet sitting gigs over the last several years and it has been such a nice way to be able to still frequently care for and bond with animals. I truly love what I do. Thanks for checking out my profile and please feel free to ask me any questions! :) Pet sitting is a huge part of my life. I have been doing it regularly since 2021 and it's my favorite job I've ever had. I happily care for different cats and dogs several times a week. Many of the people who ask me to watch their pets are returning clients, which is nice because I've been able to build deeper, long term bonds with the animals. During drop-in or overnight visits in clients' homes I always do a meet and greet with the pet(s) and the pet owner(s) present in advance. This way, the animals know that I am a friend/safe person that their owner trusts and when I see them again for the sit they already recognize me so it's a smoother transition. I let them approach me and move at their pace. If they let me pet them I always reward them with treats and praise.

Emma was great! She came over every morning (very consistently) to feed, give pets and give our mostly indoor cat some outside time. We mentioned that if Peanut wants to go outside just keep eyes on her. Emma let Peanut bake in the sun and have some fresh air which is always a good thing and ushered her in when her time was up. We also bought a lot of stuff on Amazon Prime day and she brought in all our boxes, even big ones!

Peter has watched our two cats many times now and he is wonderful every single time! Our cat Milton is an anxious guy with an anxious tummy, but Peter is super patient with him and takes things at Milton's pace, which I really appreciate. He's also a great communicator, which I also very much appreciate :) We always come home to two happy and healthy kitties, a clean litterbox and mail brought in. I highly recommend Peter if you're looking for someone to take care of your kitties - they will be in the safest of hands!

Michelle was absolutely wonderful looking after my cat while I was away. My cat is very shy, and she somehow managed to make him feel comfortable with her, which is impressive all by itself! She was patient, caring, and clearly great with animals. I would absolutely recommend Michelle and would not hesitate to ask her to take care of my cat again.
