About: My current crew: a sweet dog, two cats, and a 22-year-old ball python I’ve had since grade school. I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents*, and reptiles*, and I provide gentle, attentive care for animals of all kinds. As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and can offer a consistent, calm presence. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines and give them lots of love. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and senior pet needs. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs I have an old-time Scotch Collie, age four. She’s a well-trained, responsive, dog-friendly pup. I have an open-concept/split level house that I gate off to provide different spaces for dogs to decompress and have their own, dedicated area while still being a part of the family. If personalities don’t mesh or if your dog is older or more reserved, I can easily separate the pups in our space. I live just off a bike path and walk or run daily with my collie. I’m happy to meet whatever cadence of walks your dog prefers. I also have a small fenced area where I offer potty breaks or I will walk them around our 1 acre property. Your dog won’t scare my cats—in fact, they may become friends. My two long-haired cats are incredibly mellow. In past dog-sitting experiences, they’ve remained totally unbothered by barking, sniffing, or attention-seeking dogs. They’re actually so mellow and I don’t know why, they’re just weird. When a new animal arrives, they’ll investigate, decide whether it’s worth their attention, and then go take a nap. ⸻ 🐱 Cats If I’m sitting for your cat, I will provide a private room in the house, complete with their own litter box and space to climb, lounge, and settle in. I don’t believe in forcing intermingling with my resident pets—I want your cat to feel safe and relaxed. I will check in regularly for play, attention, and cuddles on their terms. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents I’ve had six pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals—smart, affectionate, and full of personality (I even broke a toe playing tag with one when I was little!) I’m happy to care for any small critter and always consider them part of the family. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. ⸻ 🦎 Reptiles Although I only have Rex right now (my 22-year-old ball python), I’ve also cared for a variety of lizards and feeder animals. From bearded dragons to leopard and crested geckos, I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve even ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too! While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey animals if your reptile/s require them. As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my routine. I take regular breaks to go for walks, give attention, or check in on animals staying with us. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule—whether that’s medication timing, playtime, or feeding routines. Animals are a natural part of our daily rhythm here, and I love incorporating their care into my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, animals are never left unsupervised with each other until we know everyone is comfortable. New pets are introduced slowly and calmly, with plenty of space to decompress. Sometimes personalities don’t click, in which case we easily keep them apart so that everyone is happy. I follow your pet’s routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, medication, or exercise—and I’m always happy to check in with updates. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and follow any specific instructions you leave. I’ll keep your pet’s world feeling familiar and low-stress until you’re home again.

“Olivia is an absolutely amazing caregiver! I had another Rover person cancel on me mid-stay so I had to find someone to check on my pets while I was out of the country. Olivia was very responsive and took initiative when I didn’t have the best cell phone service to give fully detailed directions. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have experience within the past few years living with dogs in college and caring for them when their owners are away. These dogs ranged from large 80lb dogs, to month old puppies. I love all dogs and would love to be trusted with yours! I currently work full-time during the week, but am available in the evening hours and also on weekends. I do not work weekends so weekends are ideal for me! I am attentive, loving, and patient. Whether it’s playing, snuggling, petting, or just being company, I will be whatever your dog needs and more to fulfill their needs and make them happy!

“Rachel is so kind. She not only let our pup out for a potty break but played with him, worked with him on some commands, and let him out one more time before she left. She went above and beyond my expectations.”

Amanda H.

“It was great that our cats adapted quickly to Maddy. By the end of our vacation, it was clear they both cats, including our anxious Bobbi, were very comfortable with her. We really enjoyed the pics to be able to see that interaction. Also, both cats were very calm and unstressed when we arrived home. Great job Maddy!!! We look forward to the next time!”

“Marcie died. Great job. I enjoy talking to her!”

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.

“Katy did an excellent job of caring for Freddie and LuLu. She is a true animal lover and our cats picked up that immediately. She is a good communicator and kept us updated. We plan to work with Katy in the future!”

Jill P.

“Amazing! Morgan was maybe our best pet sitter to date! Brushed our cat, watered the garden, and then asked "what else can i help with'? Our cat is quite shy, but she immediately warmed up to Morgan and greeted her on every drop in visit. I can't say enough how pleasant this pet sitting experience was. Thanks again!!!”

Matthew J.

“Brandi watched my cats while I was away on an extended work trip. I’ve booked her before and will book her again! She’s wonderful with the kittizens and takes care of them with the same love and attention I do! She will provide peace of mind when you leave your furry family members temporarily behind.”

“Great as always!! Thank you!”
