“My partner & I have a few cameras in our home we've always checked occasionally to see our pets while we're on vacation. This last trip we were gone for 11 days and didn't bother checking out once because Alona is that good. We have her visit twice a day to take care of our cats and she is incredibly thoughtful, caring and thorough. We love seeing photos of our cats, happy and well taken care of. On this last trip, she even able to interact with our shyest cat a bit, who always hides from strangers. We highly recommend Alona!”
“Megan did a fine job sitting our Bengal cat. She showed up early and gave Sidd extra time. She played with Sidd to stimulate her appetite and break her loneliness while we were gone. Megan followed our instructions and we returned to a healthy, happy kitty.”
“This was the first time I've left my cat Bean for 3 nights and I worried about him. Got a couple pictures and he looking fine. Payton took care of my 11 hens and 14 chicks which goes beyond the call of duty. She collected eggs and topped off food/grit. Oh, also fed my fish. A lot going on here. It's nice to know there's a good pet sitter right here close to where I live.”
“Eva was absolutely fantastic. My cat doesn’t usually like strangers but she did so well on the drop in visits! Eva is very friendly, patient, communicative and descriptive with the Rover cards. I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Our confidence in Erin is only exceeded by our gratitude for her diligent and considerate care of our precious 2 cat babies. She is both delightful and professional and absolutely among the best pet sitters out there. We look forward to having Erin provide care for our little ones on any future trips. Salud!”
“Karly was exceptional with Joey and Gracie. She is diligent and kind and kept me up to date. Karly was faced with a challenging situation that she handled with grace and compassion. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit for me again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 12 years including my own and those of family and friends. I currently have 2 dogs with varying health needs who require a lot of love and attention, so I’m very comfortable meeting any needs your pet may have. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, medication administration, specialized diets, varying exercise needs, reactive dogs, and some experience with dogs undergoing training programs. I am currently a graduate student so I’ll have plenty of time throughout the day to care for your pet. I am available week days and weekends. I don’t offer boarding but I am happy to comply with any requests you have including crating, several walks daily, yard play, in-house rules, or taking your fur baby to a local park. My own dogs are big cuddlers so I have no issue if your pet likes a little extra attention. You and your pet’s comfort is my priority.
About: I'm a veterinary professional of 5 years, so I absolutely adore spending time with dogs of all sizes and personality. One of my dogs, Shay is a rescue, with all of the baggage that can come with that. Because of his issues and the progress he's made, I feel comfortable working with dogs with behavioral problems if that meets your needs. If your dog has issues with pulling, reactivity or is incredibly timid, I'm happy to handle that and help work through their issues if needed. If there is some level of aggression we'd need to talk through safety measures before hand but I'd love to work something out to help your kiddo as well. I don't believe in bad dogs, just dogs who need some additional patience and understanding to help them feel safe in the world. I'm finishing up a certification as a professional dog trainer (Family Dog Mediator) and really would just love the opportunity to enrich your dog's life during every visit. I believe in engaging with each animal on a holistic level, not just on the physical. I think this is where the magic happens on a walk, when they can build a relationship with the person with them, not just exploring the world around them. It's about that balance and acknowledging them as a whole being. I look forward to hearing from you. Bye for now! I currently work a flexible schedule from home. Having opportunities to get out of the house are exactly what I need to keep my brain sharp My preference is to keep your pets in or near your home where they're most comfortable. One of my dogs is fearful of strangers, so for your baby's safety they will never meet.
About: I have owned and cared for my own and other’s pets my whole life. I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and snakes - pets are my passion and I strive to help owners provide their animals with the best quality of life possible. My main dedication is pet care. I am available most days of the week, any hours needed. I work my personal schedule around the needs of the animals and pet-parents! It is something I am truly passionate about and willing to put in the extra time. I play with my kitties for a minimum of 30 minutes every day. I also play with my dog for a minimum of 30 minutes every day, or 60 minutes if the weather is not agreeable for a walk. Catboxes get spot cleaned daily and deep cleaned weekly. The dog and cats get routine preventative medication for fleas/ticks/worms, and the dog gets weekly baths.
About: I've had dogs my entire life, lots of experience caring for my own as well as others dogs. I've trained my service dog as well as taken training classes for others dogs. I work part time from 2:30-6:30 M-F, looking for some work on the side and caring for pets is something I love. Mornings and evenings work great for me I live in an apartment so I'll only be doing sitting in others homes. I will make sure your pet has all it's needs met and plenty of play time and affection.
“Having recently relocated to the area, I decided to try Rover because I needed to travel for a family emergency last minute, but I had nobody to care for my cat. I read many Rover profiles and reached out to Samantha because I was very impressed with her background, especially since I used to be a veterinary assistant for many years before I became a registered nurse. Samantha not only took excellent care of my cat Peach, but it was clear she truly enjoys working with animals and is knowledgeable about what she does. She maintained excellent communication and sent me the absolute cutest update photos of my cat. The sense of relief I felt having Samantha take care of my cat while I was dealing with a family emergency was priceless. I highly recommend Samantha as a pet sitter.”
“Emily did a great job with Yoshi. She followed my instructions I left to the t, and Yoshi really loved the time he spent with her. I have a pet cube and I checked in with him after he left once or twice and he would be sitting by the door hoping she would come back. That is not something my cat normally does. The day after getting back my cat woke me up to be fed at the same time that Emily fed him and when I went out to feed him he was sitting in front of the door waiting for Emily to come. I can't think of a better recommendation than that.”
About: Former dog boarder/dog daycare host now serving your needs for dog walking, check ins, or house sits. I have many years experience caring for puppies, many different dog breeds, kittens, and senior cats. Animal care is my full-time job and can be very flexible for your needs. Animals become family and my kids like to step in as well. Aside from homeschooling my kids, we like to fill up our schedule with dog and cat love! I keep myself up to date on animal knowledge and emergency aid such as dog CPR, preventing injury, or administering medicine. You can never be too careful and safety is always the top priority.
About: Let me take your dog on some great adventures, now that the sun is coming back out, that means long walks, dog parks and hikes! I'll feed and play with your pets per your instructions, cats included. I have four cats and a chihuahua, and I grew up with three large breed dogs. I love dogs of all sizes, and cats as well. Expert animal attendant, great petting skills. Willing to assist with grooming needs, including cleaning litter boxes, if necessary. Reliable transportation, defensive driver. Will spoil with dog or cat treats, as well as cat nip. Pet bathing is also something I am willing to do, dogs or cats, I'm not afraid of being scratched. Animal related chores are also included in my skill set. I’ve had my cat, Arya, since 2017, and her care and needs are taken care of first, every day. I feed her, clear her dishes weekly, brush her and play with her favorite laser toy. I always connect with my client, and see if they have any specific requests for their pets, be that general care, walking needs, special feeding requirements. I want their pet to have as close to a regular day as possible. If it’s simply stop by and check, I’ll make sure to check all their dishes, clean as needed, and feed before I leave.
“Shawnee did an amazing job taking care of my cats , they both were comfortable with her right away. She went out of her way to check on a problem we had with our automatic feeder, thankful for that. We received photos daily and updates on our cats. I’ll definitely book her again when we need someone to watch over our cats.”
About: I have had dogs since 2005. I volunteered for rescues starting in 2011. In 2014 I started Rudy's Heavenly Rescue. Rescuing, providing medical care and adopting out small babies. I then switched to a Hospice Dog Rescue, rescuing those who were close to being euthanized mainly due to medical reasons. I provided all medical care they needed, spoiled them rotten, gave them the best food including my homemade food and they spent the rest of their lives knowing what love was. I am currently retired and enjoying my 1 fur baby. I go to the gym 4 days a week and am gone 2 hours each time. I have a fully fenced back yard for your baby to run and play around in. I have 1 small dog 1 who is 12 and loves to run in the yard with other small dogs. Inside they are welcome on the furniture, I have several dog beds in the house and an area full of toys. I don't crate but if your baby needs crated I can provide that. My baby sleep in bed with me at night and are usually in the recliner with me during the day. I do free feed dry dog food for my boy. HE don't overeat so it is not a problem for mine. If I do drop ins at your house, I can feed, walk and play with your baby. Clean litter boxes if needed.
