About: I've taken care of dogs of various breeds and personalities, from bouncy, excited dachshunds to calm, ageing Airedales. I'm eager to meet your dog and show it the love and attention it needs! I have also owned pet birds for many years, so if you happen to have those, I'm happy to look after them, too! I mostly work remotely, which means I have a flexible schedule and can easily take Zoom meetings from any location, allowing me to pay a lot of attention to your pets. I'll be sure to keep a close eye on your pet or give them space - whichever you and they prefer! I'm also happy to send pictures as desired, which will help you feel close to your pet, even while you're away.
About: Experienced with and love helping 1,2,3 pet households and catering to each pet’s needs. Have cared for elderly dogs and cats, and diabetic cats. I’m comfortable with large dogs and if your dog wants, they can get a robust hike or walk, or a nice walk in the neighborhood. Also a trained wrangler for horse care (yes, equine), and experience with chickens and other small stock. I work 50-50 in office and from home and can be flexible with my schedule for weekend or weekday needs. Open to last minute requests. This is a chill home environment and if they are able and willing, dogs will be walked or hiked or get the run of the backyard. At your house, I am respectful and go the extra mile

“Mandy was so caring and loving with Sterling, and she was so helpful with his care. She was on time (slightly early) and kept me updated at every step. I feel complete confidence with her caring for my fur babies.”
“Lauren is so great with our cat, giving her meds and making sure she’s eating. Lauren even rolled out our trash cans on trash day- it’s so great to know we can go on vacation and have things so we’ll taken care of!”

About: Hi, I’m Megan and I love pets! I grew up with two family cats and took personal responsibility for their well-being. In high school I pet sat for neighborhood pups. Going off to college I missed my best friend kitty and would FaceTime with her! Always a joy to be reunited. Since then I have been intentional for caring for the cats and dogs I come into contact with. I am a happy dauntie (dog auntie) to a golden retriever and love to spoil him with play, adventures, and quality care. I am so excited to meet your pets and build a special bond that supports their individual needs. Pet care is a a passion of mine and I like to fit it into my rotating schedule. Days off are times to dedicate to pet care. Two days off a week are allotted to intentional time with pets. Following owner instructions is the key to pet well-being and happiness! Combining my own experience with cats, dogs, and rodents with the expert directions left by the pet’s loved ones I’m able to provide an optimal experience for all. Popping in to meet pets physical and emotional needs- feeding, watering, play, and walks as arranged!
“Denise is incredible! I just moved to the area and haven’t built up a network of folks to look after our animals yet. My wife and I lucked into finding Denise! She was punctual, responsive, and even though she wasn’t in charge of looking after the cats, she let us know about them over the course of our wedding weekend. She just graduated from college and we were fortunate enough to meet her before she starts her new career where she will be helping to make this city even better as an engineer. She is responsible, kind, and goes out of her way to care for your animals. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend, and will be lucky to have her look after my pup again in the future. Thank you Denise!”

“Kirstin is the best! She goes out of the way to make our shy kitties feel special! She even found our elusive outdoor kitty who never shows up. Thanks Kirstin!”

“Our cat was well taken care of during our 8-day trip. They were reliable, communicated as needed, and everything went smoothly. We’d book with them again.”

“Kristy was so detailed with every drop-in and gave each dog love and attention! I feel so lucky that she was available on short notice because of how communicative she was and caring. Will definitely book again!”

“Absolutely stellar experience with Mary! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process and truly great with our dog, Honey Bear. From the moment they met, it was clear that Honey Bear felt comfortable and happy in her care. Mary was also very flexible and kind, especially when our plans unexpectedly changed — she handled everything with grace and understanding. It’s such a relief to know our pup was in such good hands. Would definitely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”

“Was impressed upon meeting Tabea and saw how she’s able to work and calm down typically anxious dogs. She is very kind and professional. Even got a few cute pictures from her. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for my family and friends pets ever since I could remember. Dogs, cats, rats and reptiles! I can teach your dog a new cool trick, play with your kitties, or feed your scaly friend some bugs. I currently work full time as a baker. This opens up most of my afternoons and all my evenings for drop ins and dog walks! When it comes for caring for pets I like to use a positive approach, creating a good relationship with the pets, moving on their time to get comfortable with each other.
“Janie was great with our cats! Aside from the usual duties, she was consistent in getting three different cats four different medications each on different schedules - sincerely appreciated! I recommend her and would work with her again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I find myself with an empty cup when not able to be around them. I have 10+ years of experience of meeting all the needs our dog pals have and more! I’m extremely communicative and want to continue creating a safe and loving environment for your pet. I’m currently working full time with lots of flexibility in my schedule to come throughout the day (2-3 times in a day/as needed) to the home as well being able to stay overnight at your request. I care for pets in my home and your home in my best capacity with compassion and care trying to meet their needs and wants. This looks like continuing to meet their routine scheduled needs of your pet. As well as trying to develop a relationship with your pet built on trust and insuring they don’t get bored 😁
“Vicky was so great to come and visit with my dog last minute. I highly recommend her for all your Lafayette dog sitting needs. She was responsive, sent me photos, and took real good care of my pup.”

Lakewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nick was absolutely wonderful to our girls! He was available last minute when our original sitter fell through, and his response time was great. Our dogs both took to him immediately; you can tell he’s a dog person! He was very communicative, took lots of adorable photos, and gave detailed visit reviews on the “report card”. He took extra care with one of our dogs who had recent TPLO surgery and administered her meds and special diet which put our minds at ease. We cannot recommend Nick enough and we would definitely book again!

Sara was great! She responded quickly to our last minute request for drop in visits/walks for our 5 month old lab/shepherd mix and made time for a meet and greet prior to the date of the visits! I appreciated how she clocked the walks in through the app and provided pictures on every walk! She was very communicative when our young dog had an accident while getting ready on the first day. Thank you Sara!!!

Megan was a huge help for me on short notice! My dog Ollie can sometimes be nervous around new people, but he immediately loved Megan. She has a very calm presence and was so sweet with Ollie. She followed my instructions perfectly and got some adorable pictures too 🙂 I will definitely be booking with Megan again!

Ryan was absolutely wonderful with our doggy! From the very beginning, his communication was excellent, which gave me so much peace of mind. He was incredibly willing to help, adapt, and make everything easy. The pictures and videos he sent were the best, not only did they show how well she was doing, but his funny and witty updates genuinely made my day. It’s so clear that he takes amazing care of the dogs he watches. Our girl absolutely loves him, and that says everything. I truly appreciated how communicative, kind, and genuinely fun he was throughout the whole experience. I will absolutely be recommending Ryan over and over again, and we would love to book with him again in the future!
Kelly did so well with our dog! She sent many updates and pictures and went above and beyond to make sure our girl’s needs were all taken care of before leaving. Our dog is sometimes weary around new people, but warmed up very quickly to Kelly. Will definitely be booking again!!
