About: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)
“Lana was communicative and great with our puppy Penny. She sent pictures throughout the 3 days she baby sat and was very flexible with our timing. She helped make our wedding weekend stress free because I knew Penny was in good hands!”
“Luis did a great job looking after our two dogs. He was responsive and clear with communication, and was sensitive in meeting the needs of our dogs. We would happily use his services again.”
“Susanna is a perfect dog/house sitter! She took great care of our boys, left our house looking as we left it, and was super considerate of reaching out with questions. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone they can trust to watch their pups!”
“Linda was wonderful to work with and took amazing care of our home, 3 dogs and kitten. She was easy to communicate with. Linda was so sweet and took extra time and had great patience with our grumpy older dachshund. 5 stars!!!”
“Dani is an exceptional Rover associate. We engaged her for a week of overnight sitting, our first time ever having an overnight house sitter in our home. We had Dani take my girls out a few times before our week away for everyone to get to know one another. The week went super smoothly- the perfect amount of communication and photos. Everything was perfect when we returned home - happy dogs, well-watered plants and a cared for home. Thank you to Dani and to Rover for allowing us a week away without worry!”
About: I have been proud to be a shih tzu owner for 3 years with my family. I have also been pet sitting and walking since I was 12 I walk and feed my dog on a daily basis. I also play with him during my free time and weather permitting, take him to the dog park I currently live in an apartment while occasionally staying at my parents house. I make sure to give them the care they need and show them how much they are loved.
“Natalie dog sat and house sat for us for 10 days over the holiday and was absolutely amazing! She gave us updates on the dogs and sent pictures (which my kids loved), took them for daily walks and left our house in perfect condition. We have 2 big doodle mixes (60 pounds and 75 pounds). and they can be pretty needy at times. She did a great job and I would recommend her to anyone and definitely use her again.”

“Emma did house-sitting for a week while we were away for a week. She has a very humble personality and is gentle with our dog. She is caring, attentive, and very punctual. Couldn't be happier with our experience! We will have Emma again, would highly recommend. She took care of our dog and home while we were away. Gave medicine to our dog and food on time. Thank you Emma!”
“Paula was wonderful while staying at our house with our dog, Cooper, for a long 11 night stay. He liked her immediately and they became fast friends. Paula sent daily texts and videos which made us feel so comfortable being away from our furry best friend. Paula went above and beyond and I will most certainly be using her again in the future.”

“Very attentive to our pup and proactive on communication”
Raechel P.
“Raechel is one of the nicest, sweetest, caring, hardworking, honest, reliable, and all around wonderful people I have ever known. Her LOVE for animals started at a very young age. We were unable to have pets when she was younger, so she used to walk our neighbors’ dogs and spend hours playing with them as well. She also read to dogs at our local library through a program called "Paws For Reading", which allowed her to further interact with animals (especially dogs). She did eventually get a beta fish and was very excited to finally have a pet that she could love and care for. Growing up, Raechel’s LOVE for animals only increased. Once she visited a stable with a friend and while she was interacting with the horses, all of the dogs there flocked to Raechel and surrounded her; each patiently waiting for his/her turn to get hugs and rubs. Raechel has her degree in agriculture and is looking forward to obtaining her veterinary degree as well. If you love your pet (family member) and believe they deserve the best love and care you can provide, your obvious choice is future vet and AMAZING person, Raechel! p.s.(She has also adopted a very precocious and special tuxedo kitty by the name of Forrest)”

Anthony K.
“I highly recommend Anthony as a dog walker. He is responsible, gentle-natured, and follows instructions carefully. I’ve seen firsthand how well he cares for his own pets, and he’s been a trusted caregiver for my two senior dogs over the years — both of whom required special attention, medication, and specific feeding protocols. Knowing Anthony is with them has always given me peace of mind. He’s reliable, trustworthy, and an all-around great fit for anyone looking for quality pet care.”

“Sydney is not only knowledgeable about pets and their behavior, but she is also responsible and dependable. Those are the qualities I look for in a pet sitter. I feel confident knowing she will be able to not only feed and walk my dog but also administer medications to him when needed. Sydney is also tuned into anything about my dog that she thinks I should be aware of. Above all, she has a true love of animals and is caring and loving toward them. I highly recommend Sydney!”
