About: I've had pets all my life! I've also been involved in animal rescue and pet sitting for many years. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. I have a soft spot for senior pets, but I'm not picky! I even pet sat a pig once! Trusting your pets care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️ My schedule is super flexible. I can make most days and times work. Advance notice is preferred, but I can usually help if something comes up on short notice! My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. As a pet sitter and a Rover client, I'm able to see both sides. Being in rescue exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities, giving me invaluable experience. I treat your pet and home like it's my own.

Whether your pup needs a calm walk, playful attention, or extra TLC, I’m here to make sure all pets feel safe, understood and loved.

If you’re looking for a responsible, experienced, and genuinely passionate caregiver. ♥️ I’d love to meet you and your pup! I’m currently between jobs, which gives me a flexible and open schedule for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I’m available most days and times, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also quick to respond and happy to work around your pet’s routine to provide the best care possible! If you have a fenced yard that’s great! Other wise I can take them on a leash when going potty. I also have a fenced backyard and a friendly, 6 year old labradoodle.

“Maria did an amazing job the last few days doing drop ins at my house. She has great communication and met up with me prior to her first visit to meet my dog and go over instructions! Thank you for taking such good care of Mac!”

About: I have grown up having dogs in my house all of my life. I have had a range of small and large breeds. I have spent the last 5+ years pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors, but with my availability I would love to open up to more pets! I love going for walks and playing fetch, but for those calmer/less active pets I would love to just give cuddles! I am available almost every weekend. I do have a full time job, but I am more than willing to stop by before work at 8 and then after I get off at 4:30 and again before the end of the night. I am very flexible after 4:30 on the weekdays. I am very detailed orientated and I am attentive to the instructions listed for pet sitting. The pet's safety is highly important to me. I will ensure that the pet(s) are always in a safe environment to allow them to have the most enjoyable time during each visit.

“She has taken great care of my dogs while I'm at work and they need to go outside. Sends pictures as I requested. I recommend her to anyone that needs someone for drop ins, etc.”

“We are incredibly grateful to April and her family for taking such wonderful care of our cat, Mufaza, while we were thousands of miles away visiting family. April made our trip anxiety-free by not only looking after Mufaza but also keeping us updated with thorough visit summaries and delightful pictures. It was clear from the updates that Mufaza was not just cared for but also given enough attention and stimulation to make him feel at ease despite our absence. April’s care was so exceptional that we would be delighted to have her watch Mufaza every time we travel without him. Thank you, April, for your exceptional service and for treating Mufaza as part of your family!”

About: My significant other and I live in a house with 3 dogs. We take our dogs (who are more like our kids)on a walk in our neighborhood or fenced in backyard and let them run around at least twice a day! Our dogs are spoiled and loved as they should be! We play ball and snuggle and they sleep with us too:) We'd love to love your pet while you're away! I work part time at WagZone dog day care so I have a lot of free time for my own pups. I love walks, hikes on our land outside of time or just fetch time in the yard. Fenced in yard allows dogs to run freely all day with a dog door to a sheltered garage. My dogs get along with all other souls.

About: Being raised on a farm grew my love for animals and making sure every single one was cared for. I have been taking care of animals since I was 6 years old! I have taken care of horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and bunnies. Family and friends depended on my care while they were away. I am working full time currently and I am available for mostly nights and weekends. Otherwise, feel free to contact me and we can work something out! Whenever I come over to your house, whether it be for drop in visits or walks, I will play/exercise with them. I always love to see if I can teach your pet(s)a new trick like balancing a treat for example. If your pet(s) requires a lot of attention, no problem! I’ll tire them out by walking/running or with toys that work their mind(s).
