About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 6 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further! I have a flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks, dinner, enrichment, and overnights. I love field trips and fun adventures with your pup and can also just hang out if they need companionship. I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.

This is our second time using Sara and I know when we are away I don't have to worry about our kitties - she takes great care of them and our house is always in great shape when we come back as well. Thank you Sara!!

Samantha was absolutely fantastic! With both my cats being terrified of people, she did a great job in giving them their space and allowing them to feel comfortable enough to come out and eat while she waited. This is the first time I’ve ever had to have somebody come over and feed them when I wasn’t home so I was extremely nervous, but everything went perfectly! (Even though she had to track them down for a picture at the end 😭)

Linda is a wonderful pet sitter! She watched our two cats over the holidays while we were away. She gained the trust of both cats and took such great care of them. Out cat Minka needs to take medicine, and Linda was able to give her the medication with no problems. Linda made sure our cats were fed, played with and even cleaned up around our house when the cats made a mess with their liter box. We loved having her, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! We look forward to working with her again.

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving every animal the care they deserve. I'm available on most weekends and holidays. I occasionally have weekdays open as my work schedule allows and I will have Fridays available for part of the summer. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.

Was great with our 2 cats. Feed, them both, and gave medicine to our Lucky. Spent time petting and playing with them. Arrived on time, and sent pictures of our precious babies. We will hire again. The cats each gave her 2 paws up. :)

About: Hi, my name is Leydi! I’ve loved dogs and cats my whole life and have been around them since I was little. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’ve always dreamed of working with animals because I truly enjoy being around them and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I love seeing dogs go on walks, play, and just enjoy their day, and I feel the same way about cats and their unique personalities. Rover feels like a perfect fit for me because I get to do something I genuinely love. I’m very patient, responsible, caring, and attentive, and I would love the chance to meet and take care of your furry friend :) I’m super responsible and committed. I can definitely accommodate your needs with a little bit of advance notice. Having my own dog, I know how much time they need, so I dedicate pretty much all of my free time to her and I'd love to do the same for your pup! I live in an apartment complex surrounded by lots of nature! We have a dedicated area in the back with both a fenced dog park and a big open one. I have a small dog named Lola who is super friendly and loves playing with dogs and cats. While I prefer watching your pup at your place, I’m happy to host for doggy daycare!

About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 2 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.

About: My whole life I’ve just loved animals. I’ve always had pets. I was the one in my family that pet sat when they went away. I am a real estate agent and being that I have very flexible hours with that I would like to fill my time with doing something that I think is fun. That is by loving animals. I plan on just doing dog walking to start. Maybe eventually doing at home care. Just moving to the area I need to get more acclimated.

Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable while I was gone for 10 days. She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!

I highly recommend Debra. She watched my cats and when I came home everything was cleaned up and didn’t look like I had even been away. She even cleaned up poop on my kitchen floor. I have had other sitters that leave dirty forks and just a mess when I get home. Debra made coming home very peaceful. She even made friends with my mean feral cat who doesn’t like anyone. I have total peace of mind when I’m away when I know Debra is looking after my cats.

About: I have always taken care of pets in a way that is personal, individual and all about making them feel loved. I never like when I have to close the door to leave! I can walk, board or visit your pets after working hours during the "school year" and have a lot of availability in the summer! I can do either 2 or 3 visits a day for varying times! I am incredibly careful and I like to play and talk to pets constantly:) I love to let them be as free and included for as much of the day as possible!

Alexandra continues to be such a big help to our family! She's flexible, attentive, and the animals clearly love having her visit. We get such peace of mind with her taking care of our dog with medical needs (diabetes). She's very diligent with his medications and monitoring him for symptoms. Such a relief being able to trust them to her care without worrying while we are away!

Elizabeth took care of my cats as if they were her own. She was an excellent communicator and sent me tons of pictures and videos, so I knew they were in good hands while I was away. Even more amazingly, my one cat is very scared of new people, but he warmed up to her right away. Cats can tell when humans are safe and I am so thankful to know they were given loving time and attention in my absence. I highly recommend and plan to book Elizabeth again for my future cat sitting needs!

Katrina did a great job taking care of our five sweet kitties! She was prompt, friendly, and sent pics of our kitties each day. She handled our asthmatic cat's inhaler like a champ and sent helpful updates about our cats that put our minds at ease while we were away. We felt comfortable having her in our home after a very pleasant and thorough meet and greet and we're looking forward to working with her again soon. Thank you so much, Katrina!
