“Super sweet to help out super last minute as we got stuck 10 hours away. Our poor babies had pooped inside and she picked it all up so we wouldn’t come back to a total mess. She was also amazing with our GSD who can be shy/timid. We will definitely use her again!!”
“Deidre was great at communicating and taking photos for me! She even brought in the mail for me! First time using rover and she made it easy for me!!”
About: I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs! Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home. I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.
About: Hello, My name is Mei, I am a nurse. My husband Mitchell is a software developer. My husband works from home and I only work 2 days a week in a hospital. We have two children, Leon and Lily. We have been dog sitting since 2014. We also have three dogs Sasa, Pawpaw, and Loot. We adopted Loot on our vacation in Arizona in 2022. Our dogs are well socialized with other dogs. They will start playing with new friends in no time! We have a BIG fenced yard and lots of dog toys! We have experience taking care of senior dogs on multiple daily medications and also little puppies. So just bring your fur babies to our house, and I guarantee they will have LOTS of fun and attention! My husband works from home. I work 2 days a week in a hospital. There will be somebody home throughout the week to watch the dogs. We have a fenced yard and we also put chicken wires all around it to make sure it is completely safe for the dogs. We make sure that dogs have potty break at least every 2 hours. My husband's office is in the walkout basement. He keeps the dogs around him in the basement when he is working.
“Nicole and her family are just amazing! Communication was clear, and she loved and took care of my dogs as if they were members of her family. We would definitely recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to take great care of their fur babies and I have always loved doing so! I have taken care of dogs from all ages such as puppies to senior dogs and I also don’t mind on the size of your dog as I have cared for dogs of all sizes. I currently work full time mostly night shifts so my obscure schedule will allow to me to do late night or early morning pet sitting ! I can always try to accommodate to some day sitting. I can easily learn feeding and walking schedules. I have experience giving vitamins/medications. If your fur baby needs any special care I am happy to help.
“Maddie is great! We have hired her for two vacations now, she is reliable for check-ins with my group of kittens and takes photos to let us know they’re doing well. We will definitely be using Maddie again in the future!”
“Morgan did a great job caring for Mr. Thick Whiskers. She provided helpful daily updates and found a new hiding spot for his food after it became apparent that we have an acrobat cat. I would highly recommend her.”
“Maia and Brent did a fabulous job taking care of our 2 boys (ie. our cats) while our regular pet sitter was out of town. We appreciated the flexibility of booking last minute for a holiday week. She was very professional and showed great knowledge when we introduced her to our dog (who we were taking with us on our trip). We won’t hesitate to leave all of them with her in the future. She sent us photos with updates at each check-in and even hunted down a missing package in our mailbox to bring it inside for us.”
“Maddy is a great sitter! She stopped by my apartment and looked after my cat for a little over two weeks while I was away. She is very responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life, always feeding, walking, and loving them. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention. I am currently working a hospice job & working at a restaurant. I’m looking to do something in my free time involving something I love! In my home, pets get safe, loving care with walks, play, and cuddles. In yours, I follow routines exactly, ensuring comfort, happiness, and trust every visit.
“Catherine is wonderful with all the animals, it's clear she loves what she does and really cares. I'm so happy, I have peace of mind knowing my babies are I such good hands when I'm away. Thank you Catherine!”
About: I've worked at a few different clinics and shelters throughout the years. I foster for the local shelter and help friends with their fur babies! I work full time during the day, but work 5 min away from my home and I can go check on things throughout the day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I have a cat that sticks to herself mostly. I have foster dogs coming and going. I use gates to separate if needed
About: Aside from having dogs growing up, I am a mom to two dogs, raised from puppies to 13 & 9 respectively. I'm fortunate enough to bring my dogs to work, but I understand the guilt of leaving them for long periods. Let me help you on the days during the week when I work from home! Feedings, long walks, play time, etc. I do have some availability on weekends as well. Let's meet up & see if there's a match! I know how important it is to feel your loved ones are in good hands. I work from home on Mondays & Fridays, so availability to drop in multiple times is high! Limited availability on weekends, but it is also an option. I prefer using my hands-free leash with a shock-absorbing bungee leash, especially with dogs over 50 lbs. It's safer for both your dog & me :)
About: Growing up with 4 dogs, I’ve been taking care of them as long as I can remember. Whether I’m sitting for neighbors, friends, family, (anyone!) I always will treat your pets like my own. I additionally have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I currently am in esthetician school from 9-4, leaving my mornings, evenings, and weekends open to give some love to pets stuck at home! I’m excited to give some attention to your fur babies! I can give food, refresh water, administer medicine, play, easily crate, and walk your dogs in order for them to be as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs since I’ve been in middle school. I’m also a dog bather at the moment so I have plenty experience with dogs. I’m working part time right now and I love to work with animals. There will be lots of time for me to spend with your furry friends!! I have a fenced in yard and I have 2 other very friendly dogs that get to roam around. They get frequent bathes as well.
