Our kitties loved Tim, and they were very happy and calm when we returned home. He provided lots of play time for the younger cats, and lots of photos while we were away. I think they were disappointed it wasn't Tim when we walked in the door!

Kristin did an outstanding job taking care of my two dogs and two cats while I was away for five days. The true measure of that is how relaxed they were when I returned. I highly recommend her and will certainly be using her again.

About: With a lifelong ownership of dogs and cats, my experience expanded into rescue fostering in 2021. During this time, I have successfully handled pets that deal with separation anxiety, reactivity, handicaps, and limited obedience/cooperation. I am genuinely excited to learn more about your pet(s), their specific care requirements, and their quirks. I’d love to have responsibility of being your trusted caretaker while you’re away! I am currently working fully remote so am able to do all activities through the weekdays, and have flexible hours on weekends. I’m available to accommodate your schedule to the best of my ability. My home is pet-free, ensuring a comfortable environment for your pet(s), especially if they don’t get along well with other animals. Drawing from my experience with reactive dogs, I am experienced in implementing safety measures during outdoor walks or encounters with other animals.

Lexi did a great job with Jazz and Kipper. She communicated their care well and they were happy/healthy dogs when we came home. Thanks for the amazing care Lexi!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have always been hands-on with their care. Feeding, walking, playing with, and being around dogs feels natural and is super enjoyable for me! I am patient and attentive, and enjoy making sure each dog feels loved while their owner is away. I am currently a student-athlete at USD. I will be able to fit pet care into my days between class and training. I often have open times in the morning, mid-day, and evening that would be the perfect time to show your pets some love! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will make sure your pet is supervised, secure, and cared for according to their specific needs and routines. I am attentive to each dog's feeding routine, leash rules, and home guidelines. I will make sure your dog is comfortable and relaxed while under my care.

About: I have had dogs since I was in the crib. I have been pet sitting others fur family for 6+ years. I adore animals! I will treat them like the fur babies you love. I have two dogs myself and they are my babies. I work a 9-3 job Monday-Friday and don’t work weekends. I would be home otherwise and might have the occasional plan or two but would discuss before hand. I have a fenced in yard. Both neighbors on either side have dogs but mostly bark to each other. My roommate does have two cats that roam but can be put in her room. Your fur baby will be put at top priority so that they feel safe and comfortable as if they were home with you.

About: I have cared for animals most of my life. I have cared for common house pets, rodents, birds, reptiles, and even live stock/ farm animals. My life goal is to become a vet and I have experience taking care of special needs animals. I currently work Monday - Friday 9 hours a day but will be home by 4. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 friendly cats that have both been raised around dogs most of their lives. There is also a park down the street that is just a few minutes walk. At the moment I do ask that if your furry family member will be a guest over night that a crate is provided for safety of your family and my own. I can care for your furry friends before I leave for work and after I return from work. I am also free most weekends and can watch them from Friday to sunday Your furry friends will not have access to anything harmful and will be allowed on my furniture. For their safety and mine at night I will have them sleep in a kennel.

About: My own furry family consists of 3 wolverines (chihuahuas), 1 pit/boxer mix, 3 horses, 2 cats and a gaggle of happy, laying hens. As a lover of ALL animals, you can trust your furry family members to my care. I currently work in healthcare, and I am very blessed to work three days per week, leaving me with abundant free time to enjoy the outdoors. With a wide variety of animals, caring for them is of utmost importance. I remain knowledgeable in animal behaviors, wound management, illnesses and preventative vet care.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while away. I can’t have a dog of my own right now, so getting to spend time caring for other people’s pets genuinely makes me so happy. I’ll always treat your pet with lots of love, attention, patience, and care while making sure you feel updated and comfortable too. I currently work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention! I’m also available in the evenings and on weekends, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. As someone who spends a lot of time working from home, I genuinely enjoy getting out of the house and spending time with animals!! I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and being inside your home. I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am very attentive to schedules and routines, plus value communication and I would love to send you so many pictures of your pets while you’re away!

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

Lexie is great! She always responds to messages right away, arrives on time to check on my pets, and keeps me updated with pictures. She took the time to get to know my shy cat and make sure she ate her food while she was there. I definitely trust her to take good care of my animals when I’m gone!

William is a wonderful and very friendly pet sitter. He came to visit prior to the job and do a meet and greet. I was impressed with all his zoo background work and you can tell he loves animals. My cats were happy and he sent me a picture to update how they were doing. He followed instructions, and was prompt. I will be using his services again for sure. Highly recommend.

About: My family has owned pets since I was a child. We have owned cats but also grew up loving family members dogs. I have experience in caring, loving, and staying in homes to care for family and friends pets as well as raising and caring for 5 cats. I am currently working full-time but would love the chance to enrich your pets life as well as mine.

They are some of the sweetest beings out on Earth and should be treated as such. I will take the owners lead on things they do to show love and affection to make sure their animals feel cared for by me just like they do their families.

Allison did a perfect job checking in on my two cats while I was out of town. Booking her was fast and easy. She is punctual, respectful, follows directions, and is very communicative. She gave a thorough update and went above and beyond in her care. I definitely recommend booking with her. Thanks again, Allison!
