“Alyssa is fantastic! She watched my two cats while I was away for the week and kept me updated with cute photos and notes on how they were doing. They both seemed very happy! Also, she did a great job with taking care of their litter box and their food / water. I highly recommend her and will be using her again :)”


“Avery was willing to watch my cat back to back weekends which I greatly appreciated. She gave great updates (with lots of pics) and followed care instructions perfectly. Again, I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter!”


“We were very nervous about leaving our cats with someone new since we just moved them to the area and they were going through alot of change with that, but we were very happy with Lori and her attentiveness to them while we were gone. They appeared to take to her right away. We would highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for pet care.”

About: I have spent the better part of my life committed to the care of animals, I love them and hope to use my skills and innate passion to be a blessing to someone. I am currently working and going to school online so this provides me with a very flexible schedule with all oddities of availability for you and your pet. I have an extra large fenced in yard, live alone and have an amazing dachshund named, "Koko." He is an old boy and doesn't mind the company. I am a big advocate of cuddles, praise and sticking to training measures in place by an owner. I respect these animals and it really rewards me to see them happy, safe and healthy!

“Truly Fantastic Care from Michala - Cannot Recommend her Enough!!!! I have been using Rover for the last 5 years, different addresses and different sitters, and can honestly say that Michala provides TOP TIER service. Exactly what you want from a pet caretaker. She came over already of time for a meet and greet, asked great questions, and listened to my tips. She sent pictures and messages every day and left my home even cleaner than she found it (even left a sweet note!!). I feel slightly conflicted even leaving this review because I want her to stay available for next time. Thank you Michala ❤️❤️”


About: I’ve owned and taken care of my own dogs since I was 10, and I have watched friends and family’s dogs during the summers for the past several years! I am available for house sitting, doggy day care, drop in visits, and dog walks, and I can accommodate your pet’s schedule as needed :) I have a three year old Shetland Sheepdog named Bentley that loves to play. He is potty trained and crate trained. He is allowed on the furniture. Our daily routine is going to potty in the morning, eating breakfast, getting a water cookie treat (ice cube), playing with toys in the living room or in his crate if I am gone, going on a walk in the evenings, and getting dinner with additional potty breaks when needed. I would care for your pet as if it were my own! I am also happy to accommodate personal preferences in the care of your pet.

“It was so great to have Emily come let our puppy out! She stopped in to meet her ahead of time and sent us pictures of our girl having a great time! She was super reliable and helped us get out of bind.”


“Melanie was a great help with our two cats while we were away! She took lots of pictures and gave a report for each drop in visit. Everything was perfect when we came back and the cats were well looked after.”


About: I have always loved animals and always been around them in my home. I have years of experience with feeding, exercising, and providing enrichment for both cats and dogs. I understand the importance of making sure they feel comfortable as well as respected during our time together. My goal is to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy, and cared for when you need a little extra help! I’m currently working part time, and have plenty of time to hangout with your fur babies. With my current seasonal hours slowing down, your pets can be guaranteed a sitter with pretty open availability! I have a large backyard and one level home for your fur baby. I have access to 5 miles of shaded and accessible trails as well as a dog friendly beach. My furniture is meant to be enjoyed by four-legged friends and I love taking them on “field trips” to many of the natural areas I have access to!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 17. I’ve help family and friends care for pets when I babysit their children. I loved being around the pets and children which is why I use my extra free time to provide attentive and loving care to others babies and fur babies as well! I currently work from home full time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. They would have my attention and care at any time needed as I have more than enough time on my hands. I live in an apartment complex close to the beach, so I am open to caring for them in your home or mine! Whichever works best for you!

About: I've had many animals and taken care of animals including dogs, bunnies, cats, chinchillas, a bearded dragon, fish - and yes, raccoons! And also consider myself an animal advocate. As a lover of animals, I've had experience with young animals, including puppies, kittens, and baby rabbits. And on the other end of the spectrum, I've cared for senior animals, especially dogs. I'm comfortable with animals of all ages. I have a very flexible schedule and can work from anywhere. Plus pet sitting and housesitting allows me to enjoy, care for, and love on more animals more often! I have pets of my own, including a cat (Jade). I talk to mine often, am always aware of how they are doing, and spoil them with love and treats - and numerous beds around the house, like for my cat! I consider all pets (four-legged) furry children, fish, and more, and am grateful for their unconditional love. Keeping a close eye on and loving on them is really important to me. Working for myself allows a super flexible schedule. I'm an author and have some coaching clients online. I have housesat for many years, and have expanded onto Rover. Right now my animals are indoors, with numerous beds in the house for my cat. I have numerous beds for my cat. Her feeding and needs are always first, and she gets a lot of love and play time from my husband and myself.

About: I have lived with and cared for cats and dogs my entire life. Neighbors, family members, and friends have looked to me to care for their pets. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, especially large ones! I can handle temperamental pets with gentleness and understanding. I am also great at giving pets medicine or helping with any medical conditions. I graduated December 2023 from Belmont University with a Bachelor’s of Arts. I am currently enrolled online at Northeastern University earning my Masters. I always make play with each pet and check that their environment is clean and safe. I clean up and scoop litter boxes; throw away and change potty pads. Sometimes I am asked to vacuum and water plants as well, which I am happy to do. My schedule is wide open! Pet care is my daily routine as I have cats at home. I am also a full-time pet sitter so I interact with dogs and cats weekly. I cuddle with my cats every day, they are definitely all lap cats so I am covered. They are very sweet, so they gets lots of treats and playtime. I provide plenty of space for litter boxes and I separate their food bowls so they don’t steal from each other.
