“Ruth did an amazing job caring for my dogs. They can be difficult with one being just a puppy and the other being older and very nervous but she did an excellent job making sure they were taken care of.”

“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”

“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”

“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”

About: I have had animals in my house all my life and have always loved taking care of them! I grew up with cats and when we finally got our first dog we were inseparable. I went off to college and got my own animals to take care of for a couple years but I recently moved across the country with my husband and we had to leave our little friends behind with our families. My late childhood dog had gotten older as I was going off to college and lost her hearing and sight, so I'm well prepared to take care of animals that need a little extra attention! I'm hoping to help people in the area out with their little family members! I love to walk dogs, play with cats, and just hangout with all types of animals. Im currently working from home and doing some online schooling. This allows me to be super flexibly for a job with Rover. I can tend to your pets needs 24/7. Because of my situation, your pet will almost never be left alone and will be well taken care of and loved! I do not have any pets of my own currently and will only be taking one family at a time. I have a huge yard outside my apartment unit and a fenced in dog park that is not too far of a walk away as well!

“Amazing care for my dog’s, treated them as her own and spent additional time with them to ensure they played, ate and got cuddles.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.

“We are so grateful and satisfied with Cassidy .She took care of our cat very well and we found everything in good order. Thank you Cass! We'll see you next time.”

“Kylee was very attentive with my dog and cat. She got worried when my dog didn’t eat when she was there and was helping with solutions for him to eat. She is really helpful and caring to my pets.”

“Mikayla did a wonderful job walking our three Boxer dogs, Frankie, Xena and Ducky. Two out of 3 of our dogs can be a handful at times. But she did a great job! Thank you!!”

About: I have loved and cared for my own pets plus those of friends and neighbors. It's been one one of the most rewarding things that anyone can do. I am very happy just being home with my pets. We are not worthy of their love. I welcome the chance to help you care for your fur baby. I am a personal trainer so I have the flexibility to set my own schedule. My weekends are for the most part open, especially during the summer. My pets are my babies. I have cameras strategically placed to help me keep and eye on them at all times. I make sure to take a head count and take lots of cuddle breaks.

“Thank you for taking care of Kupah.”

“Cameron was wonderful. She took pictures and provided individual updates with each visit. She was timely for her visits and responsive via messaging. And most importantly our boy seemed happy 😊”

About: Hi my name is Rachelle! I’ve walked and watched most dogs since I was seventeen my love for dogs and animals are my passion. I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them

“Kathryn did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She sent daily pictures and updates and we highly recommend her.”

Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life. I've had dogs of my own and have always loved to take care of family and friend's dogs. I pet sat part time in the late 1980's & have done it full time since 2010. Meet my pets Will care for most domestic animals including reptiles and birds. About my yard I only sit in the client's home, not at my own. This allows the pet to feel more comfortable in their own environment. No travel trauma for pet or owner. Reduced chance for picking up illness as not boarding with other pets. Pets can keep their same feeding & exercise routines. They can also have the familiar sights, sounds & smells that make them feel safe in their own home. My experience administering medication I will administer most medications as long as the pet is friendly and accepting of it. I am available for your let's needs, whether that be stop I'm visits, house sitting and overnight stays and more. I also do pet and family portraiture. I do not care for client's pet in my home, but rather the pet's own home so they feel confident, safe, relaxed and can keep their own routines, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds and smells.

About: I’m the biggest pet lover I know! I frequently dog-sit and cat-sit for friends and neighbors. Throughout my life, I've had six dogs, two of whom now live with my parents. All of them have enjoyed wonderful lives! One of my special skills is out-energizing dogs during their walks. I love taking them around the lake and enjoying my neighborhood! I often visit my neighbors to check on their pets, change the kitty litter, or just spend time with them—especially when they go on vacation. I also feed and walk my friend's pets. See I create a detailed list of needs and wants for the pets, all discussed with the pet owner to ensure that I understand what is required for their care. I also like to get to know both the owner and the pet before providing care. This allows me to ask questions and gather the necessary information to properly care for the pet.

About: I have not only owned dogs my whole life but i am in school to work with a variety of animals and have learned so much about different behaviors and caring for different breeds. I have worked in an animal hospital as well as volunteered at several shelters. I have waked neighbors dogs and stayed overnights at family friends to care for their pets for as long as i can remember and am no stranger to the importance of good communication with the owner when they are away from their beloved pet. I have an unusual schedule for work where i conduct data collection on a boat but when i am not at sea then i am able to help out with any pet care needs so just reach out and i can communicate my availability! Unfortunately i do not know far in advance when i will have to work for my job so it is hard to book out for pet care far in advanced. I have cared for many different breeds of dogs with a variety of energy levels and needs. My own huskies have taught me to be extra aware of my surroundings and where they are in relation to what is around as they would try to run off after wild animals and get themselves lost often when they were younger.

“Our dogs love Ashley! And we love how reliable and great she is with them and how easy it has been for her drop in visits. We will definitely be using her services in the future!”
