About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, starting by helping my parents with there pet-sitting. By the time I turned 14, I began pet sitting on my own, and I’ve been trusted ever since. Neighbors, friend, and family rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets like they’re my own With years of hand-on experience, I understand how important it is to keep pet safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or full-time care, I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and love they deserve. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I plan my days around the pets I care for, making sure they get consistent attention, timely feedings, and regular outdoor time. Whether you need early-morning help, mid-day visits, or evening care, I work to accommodate your routine and keep your pet’s day running smoothly. Safety is always my top priority. I make sure every pet is supervised, secure, and cared for according to their routine and needs. I follow instructions closely, keep environments clean, and pay attention to details so pets stay comfortable and stress-free. Families, neighbors, and friends have trusted me for years because I treat every animal with patience, respect, and consistency. Your pet’s well-being comes first, and I work hard to create a calm, safe environment they can relax in.

“We have two large, heavy dogs, which can be intimidating, but Alora is great with them. She is dependable and pleasant, and they seem to enjoy their walks with her.”

About: I am a stay at home mom and dogs have been a part of my family since I was 9. I do have 4 children but they are older and love dogs. I have had lots of experience sitting both large and small dogs as well as kittens. I spend most of the day at home except for small errands here and there. Right now I have 1 border collie who loves to meet new dogs and gets along great with them. I can ensure that your dog will feel comfortable here as if it was their own home. Animals have always been a part of my life, especially dogs. I have taken care of a few kittens also. I am willing to accept some well-behaved large dogs, however, I will not be able to accept any aggressive, anxious or timid dogs. I also have experience taking care of rabbits, with 2 of my own. I'm a stay at home mom who has errands here and there. I'm available all weekdays. On Sunday I go to church from 4:30-7:30 and on Saturdays from 5:30-7:30. I have a big fenced backyard and all pets stay indoors and go out to socialize and play. I also feed pets separately to ensure there is no food aggression. If your pet is nervous and doesn't bond well at first, I won't take them out in the front yard or on walks for security reasons.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals my whole life. I was in 4-H for 8 years and grew up on a ranch. I have volunteered for Canine Companions as well. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for, play with, and love on your pups! Whether it’s early morning cuddles, midday potty breaks, or evening walks, I make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, or medication. I take the time to get to know your pet’s personality and preferences to ensure they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and treat it like my own—clean, secure, and full of love for your furry family member.

“Max is amazing! I reached out to him needing a last minute walk for our dogs and he made himself available right away. He is so attentive and truly cares for animals like they are his own. 10/10 absolutely recommend!”

About: I've always loved taking care of animals. When I was little I had big plans of having a shelter for dogs, cats and horses. I had even planned out the cost. Two neighborhood cats took shelter in our home and garage had three litters with us, that had further sparked my young passion for pet care. Later in life I had taken care of neighbors and families pets. I also worked with and assisted a woman with a dog grooming service (and the occasional cat) which taught me a lot more about animal temperament and handling. I adore animals and would be honored to give your fuzzy friends my best care! I work part time at TJ Max I get my work schedule a week ahead and normally im scheduled for 1 to 2 days for 4 hour shifts. If I were to pet sit for you I would only need be away for 5 hours at a time if I'm shecduled (considering drive time). I am starting school this fall working toward becoming a nurse, so being able to work with animals in the meantime is a blessing. Through the week I care for my cat she is very important to me. In my experience every animal has their own routine they need to feel comfortable, and I am happy to learn and apply it to give the best care possible!

About: My pet care experience includes volunteering at non-profit animal rescue organizations and animal shelters! I have experience in working with pets of all sizes and ages! I am very passionate about animal care and have previously developed a club/organization revolving around pet care and spreading awareness of this community to students! Along with this I have cared for and watched families and friends pets since I was 9 years old. I am a full time college student but I love caring for pets during my free time! I find that pet care fits best into my schedule during early mornings or anytime on Fridays-Sundays! I love caring for pets of all kinds and will do all I can to help make them feel comfortable! I have a lot of experience in pet care and know how to handle different reactions.

About: I have years of experience of taking care of animals I’ve owned so many animals my whole life :) I have a beautiful blue nose pitbull named chiquita who is a elder <3 as well as two smaller dogs named Federico and Dutch and a cat! We all love eachother very much. I can also very much pay attention to detail throughout the pets day and changes in schedule and any health issues that need to be addressed. I can keep updates with the owner as needed at anytime I have lots of free time and love going for nature walks and love playtime I can give lots of affection and training if needed :) I have a safe non toxic environment in my backyard with plenty of space and shade provided with extra large crate for resting area. With a safe gated area inside with AC and lots of room for the zumiez :) along with 2 friendly small dogs and a outdoor cat

About: I have grown up with pets all my life, and currently take care of 3 of my own! I love my two cats and dog more than anything, and will take care of yours like my own. I am always open to being flexible when it comes to taking care of your pets! My schedule is always ready and open for any animal. When it comes to taking care of my pets, I make sure that they get the proper amount of love and time to play everyday. My attention is always on them, and they are my top priority.

“I can’t recommend Natalie highly enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my dog, Blue. From the very first walk, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Blue can be a little energetic and stubborn at times, but Natalie handles him with so much patience, confidence, and kindness—it’s honestly impressive. She is always punctual, reliable, and communicates consistently, sending updates and photos that give me total peace of mind while I’m away. It’s such a great feeling knowing that Blue is not only getting exercise, but also getting attention, affection, and someone who truly enjoys spending time with him. Natalie goes above and beyond every time—whether it’s making sure Blue has fresh water, giving him extra playtime, or just noticing little things about his behavior and keeping me informed. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows in the way she treats every walk like it matters. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Natalie is the one. I’m so grateful we found her on Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pet.”

About: Ive owned dogs since I was young so I’m knowledgeable about their needs including administering medicine orally. I’ve also taken care of many dogs of all sizes.
