Mikayla was awesome. She was very thoughtful, asked questions, and made sure I had some cute pictures of my fur babies. It was a short notice trip. Mikayla was prompt, spent quality time with my dogs, made sure they were comfortable and taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone. She took care of 4 different dogs while I was gone, without any problems

About: Hi there! I’ve been raised with animals all my life and have fond memories caring for my sweet pets. I grew up with cats and dogs around me and still enjoy playing with them today. I regularly take care of my family’s dog when vacations arise and I’m happy to meet new dogs and extend that same care to them. 🤗🐾 I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to make visits to your home whenever is best for your dog. 💗 I’ll gladly send you pictures and video updates while your dog is in my care and I am happy to play with them with any of their favorite toys. 🐶 I love languages. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and American Sign Language and I’m also currently learning French. I’d be happy to communicate with you in any of those and also speak to your dog in whatever language you use at home as well. 🤟 I’m a stay at home mom so I’m pretty flexible for visits and for in-home care. I’m mostly always home aside from quick errands and church services. 🤗 In my home, I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can be comfortable running around and playing with us. We also love to take walks. 🤗 If you want me to visit your dog at home, you can feel comfortable knowing they will be at ease in their space as I care for them based on their needs. 🐾

Kayla was amazing, she really put me at ease about leaving my pets for the week. She provided updates and pictures with every visit and she even won over my anxious cat who normally hides with new people!

About: I have a genuine love for dogs. I enjoy walks with my own dog and talking to different dog parks to socialize. I also enjoy teaching dogs different commands to ensure the dog and owner can live together in harmony. I am currently working from home. I am very flexible with my schedule and can guarantee that your doggy will not be alone while in my care While I don't have a fenced backyard, my yard is big enough to let your doggy run around under supervision. I also have a fenced dog park 5 minutes away from my home.

I contacted Emily pretty last minute she was very accommodating and was able to drop in and care for my three monsters. This was my first time using the service so of course I was nervous, she was great really allowed us to relax and enjoy our time knowing our babies were being well cared for. I will definitely use her again and definitely recommend her if you are looking for a reliable sitter. 🐾🐕‍🦺🦮🐶

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life! I currently have one cat who is like my child. I grew up caring for gerbils, dogs, Guinea pigs, rabbits and fish as well. I love animals and truly enjoy their company - I’d love to have the chance to meet and care for yours! I’m an attentive and affectionate owner and caregiver to all kinds of pets, both big and small. I have experience administering medication as well, my childhood cat was diabetic so I have lots of experience with injectable medication. I’m very flexible schedule wise! I currently work part time and set my own hours, but I mostly work evenings. I spend as much time with my pets as possible. I prefer afternoon bookings, but I can do nights as well. I currently can’t host in my own house due to animal restrictions! I’m available for drop-ins and house sitting. I’m a very clean person and always respect other peoples spaces. I’m very competent and have no issue following whatever instructions you give me regarding how you need your pet cared for.

Another wonderful experience with Ralinda! This is our second time booking and she was wonderful coordinating check ins with the challenges of the whether that day. She was willing to come a little bit later due to thunderstorms in the area. Will definitely be using her again for future drop in’s!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for pets of all kinds - including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, fish, frogs, and more. Over the past 10 years, I’ve also cared for diabetic dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with checking glucose levels, administering medication, and providing attentive care for pets with special medical needs. I also have ample experience caring for senior pets and am very comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow strict feeding schedules, dietary requirements, medication routines, and care instructions to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates if desired. My home features an acre with a fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood, creating a calm and secure environment for pets to relax and play. I treat every animal like family and strive to make them feel loved, comfortable, and cared for from the moment they arrive. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I work from home and have a 3-year-old Chihuahua-mix of my own. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Working from home also gives me the flexibility to easily fit in home visits and drop-ins throughout the local area (pre/post-work and lunch breaks) while still maintaining a consistent schedule for the pets in my care. I’m very comfortable building walks, feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and cuddle time into my day while adapting to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions so they receive individualized care and attention. In my home, pets have a calm environment with plenty of supervision since I work from home, along with a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods and receive lots of companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and affection throughout the day. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their usual routine for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’m very respectful of both pets and homes and always aim to provide reliable, attentive care that helps owners feel at ease while they’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates so owners can see how their pets are doing and feel connected while they’re gone.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, awareness, and attention to detail. I’m used to staying calm under pressure and paying close attention to my surroundings, which translates directly into keeping your pet safe on every walk. I’m comfortable handling strong, energetic dogs as well as more timid or older pets, and I always prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication with owners. I work full-time night shifts (6 PM–6 AM) about 14 days a month, which gives me plenty of free time during the day, as well as before and after work. This allows me to give pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I enjoy being active with animals and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions from the owner. I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and free of hazards, and I always keep a close eye on pets during walks or visits. I respect my client’s home, maintain clear communication, and ensure pets feel comfortable and stress-free while in my care.

About: I have cared for many pets my whole life! I’ve taken in feral litters of cats and helped raise them until they were able to be adopted, I have cats, and help with the care of 4 dogs of varying sizes. I have had cats and all types of dogs growing up! I love making sure furry family feels loved, and gets taken care of. I am just starting out, however Rover is my full time job. I use this platform so I can still care for my little brother on the weekends. Some people have help with Rover, but I am working solo so please be patient with me. I have a fenced in portion of the yard just for our dogs to run around as they please, they have set meal times and have constant access to love and snuggles! My cats also get all the love and playtime they want.

About: I’ve dog sat for friends and fellow cast members for over 20 years! I’m truly devoted and prefer to keep your dog in its familiar surroundings. I’m a full-time Disney cast member that have scheduled Fridays and Saturdays off and would be more than happy to watch your baby over the weekend. I prefer to have the dog in its familiar environment and to have a comprehensive plan feeding, sleeping, emergency veterinarian etc. Comfort is the key word!

It’s always hard leaving the fur children at home, but knowing that they were being checked on, made us feel less guilty about going on Vacation. Karina always let us know that they were ok. She kept them fed and hydrated and kept the litter cleaned. Thanks Karina, we will call you again!

About: I do well with all age ranges. The vast majority of animals seem to trust me. I've worked with dogs, cats, small mammals, farm animals and birds. They all remain calm and responsive in my presence. I'm currently available F/T, but will be attending school this Autumn and working P/T during the week. After 08/28/2023 I will only be available on evenings and weekends. While my yard has a boarder fence, it is not enclosed. I will always use leashes when taking dogs, or other animals outside of the house. I maintain clean water and food at all times. I interact with them regularly. If checking on pets at your house, I always make sure they are safe, have clean water and food, clean littboxes, and play with them to maintain social skills.

Claire did a great job with the 2 visits to care for my cats this week while I was on a "staycation" nearby. My 2 cats did some hiding (no surprise) but the older one did come out on the 2nd visit and showed his face! Claire will be back soon and I have full confidence in leaving my babies under her care while I am away!
