“I highly recommend Olivia! She is reliable, responsible, and truly kind. She followed all the instructions, kept me updated, and took great care of both my cat and my home. Everything was clean and tidy when I returned. Most importantly, my cat loves her! She clearly cares about animals and takes the time to build trust with them. Knowing my cat was happy and well cared for made all the difference. I feel lucky to have found such a dependable and caring cat sitter. I will definitely book her again in the future!”

“My boys were so happy to have Lauren check in on them again while they had the house to themselves for a week. She provided snacks, a clean litter box, water, and most of all - pets and love. She does a fabulous job taking care of them and helps calm my mommy mind while I am away. They are already asking when their friend will be coming back!”


About: I worked for 4 years as a med tech and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I have a lot of experience giving medicine and fluids if your dog needs any special care. I currently have 5 very well behaved pups that love to play with everyone. I also have experience with other types of animals including reptiles and amphibians. I have always loved caring for animals and enjoy giving them as much attention as I can. I live in a more rural area with a big yard that is fenced. I go running with my youngest dog everyday and love going out and exercising with the pups. All my animals are treated like my children and I give them everything they want. Thanks for considering me, I'm sure I will make your pets feel like one of my own! I work part time helping out with a dog daycare a few days a week and the rest of my time is spent at home with the pups! I have 2 fenced areas to be able to separate any dogs that may need to be and multiple indoor areas for them. If they are used to being crated at night/when you’re out just let me know. I have large crates for them if they do or plenty of beds and if they don’t!
“Thanks for all you have done for my babies. Oreo can be a handful at times. House and litter boxes look good. If you need a reference just let me know. Just a little extra. Thanks Leslie”

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.
About: I have always had animals growing up - dogs & cats. I love to take dogs outside on walks & play with them whenever need be. I also love cats as well & currently own four of my own. I am very responsible and caring of any animal, and I would love to take care of your animal! I currently work full time as an occupational therapist. I started doing Rover while in graduate school and loved it! Although I am more busy with work these days, I still love to watch animals whenever I get the chance on the weekends. Disclaimer for house sitting: As much as I love watching your animals, I also need to be able to run errands. While I will ensure your animals are well taken care of…if you animal cannot tolerate being left alone for 4-5 hours during the day I kindly ask you request somebody else. Thank you! I take directions very well & will do anything necessary to ensure your animal is well cared for and safe. I understand that each pet is different, so I take this into consideration into pet sitting any animal. Just tell me your expectations & I will make sure to meet them!

About: I’ve spent over 20 years surrounded by paws, whiskers, and wagging tails, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life. From newborns, playful puppies, curious kittens, confident adults, and sweet seniors who just want extra snuggles. At home, I have a full furry crew: two huskies, two cats, and eight dachshunds. Managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines is second nature to me and there’s never a dull moment, and I love it. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with whelping and newborn puppies. I’ve helped deliver two dachshund litters and raised those tiny beans from birth until they headed off to their forever families. It taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to spot what a pet needs before they can tell you themselves. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle cuddles, or just a buddy to hang out with, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I work a full-time job, but I have plenty of flexibility to schedule visits around your pet’s routine. I’m able to do morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make sure pets get the attention, playtime, and clean-up they need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m happy to build my schedule around keeping your pets happy and comfortable. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel safe, comfortable, and in their normal routine. My priority is creating a calm, secure environment so they can relax while you’re away. I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication needs, preferred toys, and any house rules you have in place. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can approach them gently and respectfully. During visits, I make sure your home stays safe and tidy. I double-check doors, crates, and gates; ensure food and water are fresh; and keep the space clean, especially around litter boxes and feeding areas. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, your home’s security, and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
About: I have loved and cared for all animals since I was younger. As a child I was always asked to care for the pets of family members and friends. I work on a 24/72 schedule. I am also in class once-twice a week. Looking for an entertaining and rewarding way to spend my free time! Willing and able to take on any task given. I am a quick learner and will do all that is asked plus more. Will accommodate to the best of my abilities.
