“We originally booked Olivia to watch our 2 kittens while we were away on vacation starting the 25th, but realized we'd be gone all day the 24th (the day we left) so we rushed to contact her late on the 23rd. She was very quick to respond and kind enough to add us to her schedule for the 24th at the last moment. She truly made us feel much better about leaving for vacation. And she came as promised and took care of our furry babies.”

“Roxanne came to my rescue after we booked a last minute getaway! She watched Lucy once before and was excellent so I knew Lucy would be in good hands and I could relax while away. Roxanne showed up right on time and sent texts and photos for all drop in visits. Will definitely request her again. Thanks Roxanne!”

About: I grew up around animals and have had several dogs myself, so I know how l'd like my dog treated as a pet owner. I regularly take care of family and friends' dogs when they're away and have gotten along with pretty much any dog l've ever met. I am currently not working a full time job and have most days available including weekend days. I can match my schedule to your pet care needs. After greeting your dog and either running around the backyard or getting in a good walk to tucker them out, I'll make sure they have all the food, water, and pets they need while you're away

About: Hello my name is Julie and I’m here to help you with all of your pet care needs! I am currently the owner of two dogs and a cat. I have been a pet owner for most of my life! I also have experience volunteering for my local animal shelter for over 12 years where is worked in the shelter and fostered both kittens and puppies. I looked forward to taking care of your pet and loving them as if the were my own! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both week days and weekends to help you with your pet care needs! I’m available for both dog walks and pet sitting/ drop in visits. I care for other people pets in a way that best fits their normal schedule! Routine and familiarity is so important for animals so I do everything I can to ensure their routine stays the same and they feel safe and secure. I follow the owners instructions diligently while bringing as much love as I would give to my own pets!

“This was my first time using Rover and Tamikia made it super easy. The pictures she took of my kitten were so cute and helped put me at ease being away from her!”

“Kathy is wonderful. She is a real dog lover! She stopped in to visit with my puppy and walk him, play with him, etc. I felt very comfortable with her in my home and taking care of my puppy. She even texted me photos of him during her visit. Highly recommended.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life I've had to attend dog behavioral training classes with multiple dogs over the years of owning them with family. As an adult I've never had the privilege of owning my own dog only cats. But I've always been the one to help family members when they go away walks & pet siting. I work in the elder care system but trying to find a balance of Harmony. With my active lifestyle and fond affection for The Great outdoors I miss the company of dogs I don't have the means or time to own my own I would like an opportunity to be able to explore new areas of my local neighborhood and getting exercise. I do care for a cat though, she is not my own. But she is welcomed in my apartment she owns this house. And I only just pay the rent.

“Thank you Raegan! I loved all the pictures and all the great info. You gave me about how Sunny is doing. You really love animals I can tell!! I will be booking you again.”

About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

About: Personal: Since I was little Verterenarian was always my dream job.. of course things change. I instead went into the Marine Corps and then opened a new chapter in Swim Instruction and Lifeguarding. Back then was when I got my first Cat in 2012. Currently I'm becoming certified in Massage Therapy and hope to move on to animal accupressure and therapy as well, so I'm unavailable between 7:30am and 2pm Mon-Thursday. I've been told by various people throughout my life how I have "the touch" and that they or their pets feel oddly soothed by me. I have even met people and their dogs while on hikes and been invited right there to care for their picky pets(uninterested in humans.) It's always special when dogs come to me for comfort in a room full of people which has happened a few times. One of the most notable ones was an old Sheltie who wouldn't come out from behind the couch (afraid of lightning); I wound up holding her failing hips and hitting some feel-good points to coax her out and back to normal. I grew up with a Husky/Lab/Chow mix and a Yorkie-Poo. Later I shared/trained a MinPin-Chiuwuawa and most recently had my own Jack Russell/Chiuwawa mix and would always get compliments on how well-behaved they were. I'm intuitive, empathetic, and can hit certain spots when massaging them or just transfer energy somehow that seems to really speak their language. I'm an animal too in every good sense of the word! My life experiences have trained me to think on my feet and innovate my way out of any obstacle, with a laugh in my heart and a respect for the waves. Schedule: When I schedule through Rover, it has my full attention, and I won't leave to do other work unless it's specifically OK'd through you (then I may go out just to do a few deliveries and come back within 2 hours... though I certainly wouldn't leave 2 unfamiliar doggies alone whatsoever even if they were friends!) I can rise to your preference of potty and meal schedule, no sweat! If you're okay with your dog staying home during school for extended trips you may need to take, we can set them up in their own room or area of the house. Safety, Trust & Environment: I'd like to introduce my dog Pitunia as an extremely sweet, curious, receptive dude. We take big camping trips with friend's families (dogs, kids) and do exceptionally well. Each animal can perceive various tones in voice or touch or types of play differently, so I do take safety quite seriously. We don't play tug without practicing "LET GO" - I think it's relatable playing with toys and having some accidental nips - that said he really amazes me by Letting Go. I make sure to reward for every good behavior and only teach "no" if I'm distinguishing between "yes.". When we have multiple dogs it's important to feed at the same time and in separate areas. I typically have mine "wait" and he will sit or lay in his area until I set down the food, which comes in handy for multi-dog safety ☺️ Pitunia and I have also completed the Paws For People Therapy Program, where we trained with other dogs weekly to condition for working in hospitals, etc, so he is such a well-trained marshmallow. Manners tend to need constant upkeep though, as I'm sure you probably know with your loveable friend who might Also be: inquisitive eager jumpin and bumpin with affection, tail whippin butt wigglin and kissin!!! So we always keep at it😌.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 40+ years. Specializing in cats, bunnies, guinea pigs! I am also open to small and medium size dogs. 💕 I work full time out side of pet sitting. Monday - Thursday I am free to check in on your pets after 4pm! Friday - Sunday I am available all day. I only plan to sit for pets in your home. My home is currently filled with many pets! German shepherd, cats, bunnies, and guinea pig! Whether I stay the night or drop in for a visit I plan to care for your pet the same I would mine! Please inform me of any routines, medication, and rules.

About: I know when a dog is anxious or needs attention. Previously working at a Canine Club has made me understand dogs more especially with watching multiple at once. I handle big and small dogs and have excelled immensely with this job. I am a full-time student at WCU. I will stay with the dog as long as I can and can make frequent visits if need be. I will always have my eyes on the dog at all times whilst giving endless amount of attention and love. If there is a gated area provided, and is a nice day out, I would mainly spend most of my visit outside to get the dog fresh air and some room to run around.

About: Hi! 🐾 I’m an experienced pet care professional with nearly a decade of experience caring for and working with animals. While dogs absolutely have my heart, I’m also experienced and comfortable caring for cats! I currently work professionally in dog daycare as well as pet sitting and dog walking, so I’m experienced with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I always take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, boundaries, and favorite things. 💕 Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether that means plenty of playtime, long walks, cuddles, enrichment, or simply keeping them comfortable and sticking closely to their normal routine, I want your pet to feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want someone to give my own. You can relax knowing they’re in experienced, caring hands! 🐶🐱💗 Meet & Greet: I require a complimentary 15–30 minute meet & greet before confirming a new service. This gives us a chance to go over your pet’s routine and care needs, allows your pet to get comfortable with me, and helps make sure we’re a great fit for one another. Safety and comfort—for you, your pet, and me—always come first! Pet care is already part of my everyday routine! I work professionally with animals, so providing attentive, reliable, and loving care comes naturally to me. I have a dog of my own who I absolutely love caring for and training, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands! 🐾 I’m a huge believer in enrichment and love keeping pets mentally and physically fulfilled through walks, play, training, sniffing, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to body language and signs of stress or discomfort, and I never force interactions. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own pup. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy while they’re with me! 💕

“We have 3 dogs that we usually board but wanted to switch to having a sitter check on them. We also have a cat that we usual let roam and graze and have a friend check in on periodically. Rachel was great and kept us updated while we were gone. Rover report cards are nice as well. It was great to come home to happy pets rather than spending an extra hour picking them up from boarding.”

“Another successful week of drop ins with Destinee! My cat is a grumpy old man but tolerates her visits well. It gives me great peace of mind knowing he’s so well cared for when I travel.”

I work a full time job and devote my time off watching your furry loved ones. Please feel free to ask me any questions about my pet experience.

My weekends are free and my evenings as well after 6pm for a drop in visit and dinner. I have a hour lunch break that I can accept drop ins, feeding and walks. I am pretty basic when it comes to caring for your animal. I follow the directions provided to me by the owner and create a bond with the animal. I want the pet to feel safe and comfortable with me most importantly. Fun time is always added in when we are following the schedule set by the parents. I love to send updates and create a full photo album of there entire booking. It helps create a base relationship with the pet owners seeing their pet relaxed and enjoying their absence.

About: I have a love for all animals, but especially for dogs. I have experience with both dog day care and dog walking services. I have taken care of my own dogs over the years, both big and small, and would love to have an opportunity to care for others. I would love to sit for other kinds of pets as well. I have had a number of pets over the years, including cats, fish, birds, turtles, hamsters and geckos. I live right near the airport, so drop off and pickup around your vacation is super convenient! I am available all day every day to care for your pet. Spending quality time with animals is therapeutic for me. I love taking the time each day to care for them and play with them. I love exercising with pets and making sure they are happy and healthy. I prefer to spend at least an hour with each pet. Taking the time to play, exercise, and eat good food is essential! I love to make sure a pet's quality of life is just as good as mine.
