About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for most of my life. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs, where I was involved in daily care like feeding, walks, playtime, and helping maintain their routines. For the past four years, I’ve been the primary caregiver for my own cats, managing feeding schedules, litter maintenance, play, and monitoring their health and behavior. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and understood while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks on weekdays. I make sure to plan my time so each pet gets consistent care, attention, and a calm, reliable routine. I focus on caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care while you’re away. I’m very mindful of safety and treat your home with respect, and I always send updates and photos so you can stay connected and reassured.

“April was amazing with Zoë! She provided updates throughout the day and Zoë had an amazing time. I look forward to working with April again in the future.”

“This was my first time using Rover or someone I didn’t know to take care of my cat. I was very nervous. Megan was excellent. She was available at very short notice & did a great job with a very fussy cat. I will definitely look to her again should I need someone to look after my girl. She even went through some extreme weather to make sure my pet was fed. She was dedicated.”

Jill E.

“Second time booking with Cailin and she was just as great as before! Very helpful and did everything we asked and more! Next time we need another sitter, we’ll be sure to contact Cailin again!”

“Jenna was great! She took good care of our pups, dealt with an unruly, energetic 9 month old Lab mix along with our older Chihuahua mix, and the messes they made. Kept us informed and sent pictures at each visit.”

About: **Are you located outside of the service area, but I seem like a good match? Please reach out anyway, I'd love to speak with you and could be open to traveling a little further in some circumstances! Hi! My name is Amanda. Thank you for your attention to my Rover profile. I've had pets most of my life! Our family includes a 140lb special needs mastiff (Perro de Presa Canario aka, Canary mastiff), a 12lb Cairn terrier, a 50lb Staffy/boxer mix, and last but not least: a 7lb Dutchie/New Zealand house bunny aka, "The Queen". I am comfortable getting my hands dirty. I have a hard time resisting getting down on the ground everytime I meet someone's dog. It might be my toxic trait. I'm comfortable with bathing and light grooming including: brushing, nail care, and dental care. My availability revolves around my own pets and their needs, of which there are many—medication, walks, grooming, enrichment, etc.. Essentially, my life revolves around ensuring that theirs is one that is as fulfilling, and a far cry from the situations from which they were rescued, as possible. We have a fenced yard on an acre plot. Our bunny is litterbox trained and lives along side us as the beautiful queen that she is. Some people may call us obsessive, but we just love our pets and want to be the best custodians possible.

About: Dog owner and animal lover with over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for and training my Labrador Retriever. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I run my own pressure washing business, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting. Being self-employed allows me to manage my time well and make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while providing plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship in both my home and my client’s home!

“Alix was awesome! She was very communicative during my work trip and sent some really sweet pictures too! My Dottie looked more excited to see her than she is to see me sometimes 😂 absolutely would recommend Alix to anyone needing assistance with their pets! Thank you, Alix!”

“Nicole was amazing! She eased any worries we had and also updated us with pictures and videos while we were gone. She was very much in touch with any updates. We will definitely rebook her the next time we need someone to care for our pup and we’re so glad that we booked Nicole in the first place!”

“Lydia was great! She really bonded with my cat (Buddy) over the week she was taking care of him and seemed to really care about how he was doing. She went above and beyond, sometimes staying beyond the time she was paid for to play with Buddy longer. She was also very good about sending regular updates, which super comforting since this was the first time I've left my cat to go on vacation and I was worried about how he would do.”

Ruth B.

“Samantha was the greatest. She gave my cat space while also making sure that she can leave her sent with him. She gave great ideas to help me because this is my first time having a cat sitter. She is so receptive and she gives great advice. She connected with my cat wonderfully, and I truly appreciate what she had done with feeding him and connecting with him. I will use her again. She is definitely my go to and I would highly recommend her.”

About: I'm a special education teacher who has lots of experience taking care of others. My patience is very high and I have a high need to take care of things. I've owned a dog that I loved. Taking him for walks was one of my favorite things to do with him. Taking him out to do his business, no matter the weather, never bothered me. We would have fun going to parks where we would play fetch and where he could run around. I'm willing to stay at homes to take care of your pet if you feel more comfortable with that than your pet staying in my home. I have a lot of love to give and, if you'll let me, I would love for you to allow me to lavish your pet with that love.
