About: Although I have never officially pet-sat, I have grown up with pets my entire life, giving me firsthand experience in caring for and understanding animals. I am comfortable feeding, playing with, and providing affection to pets, ensuring they feel safe and happy. My deep love for animals makes me attentive, patient, and dedicated to their well-being. Through years of personal experience, I have developed a strong understanding of pet behavior, needs, and care, making me a responsible and compassionate caretaker for any furry friend. Pet care can easily fit into my weekly schedule, as I have Mondays and Tuesdays completely free, allowing ample time for pet sitting, walks, or check-ins. Additionally, I finish work around 3-4 PM on other days, leaving my evenings open for pet care responsibilities. With no other events or commitments, I have the flexibility to dedicate time to feeding, playing, walking, and ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need. My schedule allows me to be reliable and consistent in providing quality pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved by following their routine as closely as possible. I will provide fresh food and water, take dogs for walks or playtime, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I will also monitor their behavior and well-being, ensuring they are happy and healthy. If needed, I can administer basic care instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

About: I worked 3 years in the kennel business and 1 as a manager. I have had a love for dogs and cats ever since I was young and love caring for all types of breeds regardless of age, size, or anything else! Right now I am in between jobs, so my availability varies. But with some notice, I should be able to accommodate your schedule! Whether that be drop ins or stays. I will mostly provide services at the clients house since I have 2 pups of my own! I am more than willing to follow instructions and comply with any safety measures that need to be taken!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and have recently started to work with cats. I miss walking my dogs from home and would love to help take care of yours I’m currently a student, so although I have many classes during weekdays I have breaks in between as well as Friday through Sundays free. I always make time for my own walks and workouts but I’d love to do it with an animal! My medium sized dog uses a harness on his walks, but I have worked with all kinds of leashes before. We had our yard fenced in for play time but I have worked with dogs in parks and ungated areas.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, have had dogs since I was a baby. And have consistently pet sat for neighbors and friends. I’ve also volunteered at vet clinics. Right now I’m home for winter break as a college student. And I’m looking for some work! I don’t have many other commitments and am very flexible with pet care! I have yard space for your pets to play in and relax! I also have a crate if needed, but I will most likely no longer have any animals in my home if your pet were to come to my house.

About: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.

Amanda was very reliable and great with communication. It’s always scary not knowing someone well and having them stay at your house with your pets and she over exceeded our expectations. We appreciate it! Will definitely keep her on our list for the future!!

About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a little girl. I’ve grown up around so many animals including my sweet horse Ace! My favorite is how every animal has their own personality, & the way they love us unconditionally without ever saying a word. I currently am working full time and going to school, but I am flexible and can find a way to fit your schedule! I am very open on weekends! I treat every animal like family and they will be in the best hands. I love meeting new furry faces and they will receive the best care!

About: I’ve cared for house animals my whole life. From geckos to guinea pigs growing up, to mostly dogs as an adult. I’ve had my dog, Theodore, through every stage of his life so far. We’ve tackled potty training, crate training, and some obedience training. I love getting to know new pet friends and can’t wait for the opportunity to meet yours! Pet care is an automatic part of my life. I work within a 10 minute drive from home, so I am able to check in on my pets as frequently as they need! I have the world’s best chihuahua named Theodore at home. He loves other dogs, but also doesn’t mind being in his own space if your pet needs space, so boarding in my home can be all together or separately if the dogs prefer their own space. I have a large, unfenced yard for on-leash exploring, but I’m also a short drive away from a large off-leash dog park if your pet friend needs more exercise. My home has minimal stairs and lots of comfy surfaces to lounge on.

Sierra was a wonderful pet sitter. Both of my kitties loved her which is a rare occurrence. She kept quick communication with me the entire stay and went above and beyond to help my kitties feel comfortable and loved.

We’ve had Carson visit our little guys twice and plan to again. We know that someone sweet is visiting them while we’re away and that gives us confidence that we’re choosing the right person.

About: Going out of town? Want to leave your pet in the comfort of their home rather than boarding them somewhere that stresses them out? Want to leave them with someone who will give them tons of TLC? Then I'm your gal! I have been petsitting for over 20 years, and I've had my own business for 15 years (Happy Tails). I have a lot of energy myself, but am also content to sit around and cuddle, so any energy dog is fine with me! I've taken care of dogs with health needs, administered many medications including insulin shots, liquids and pills, and worked with deaf and blind animals. I have owned and fostered/rescued many animals and many breeds in my lifetime. Please contact me if you're interested, and feel free to check out my Facebook page for reviews (Happy Tails QC). Thank you! As this is my full-time job, I have a lot of time daily to care for your furbabies, & I'm available 365 days a year! I care for pets in the owners home. I come by three times a day for 20-30 minutes each time. I can also do walks!

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.
