About: Growing up with a family dog and currently sharing my home with three wonderful cats has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I am very patient and kind, and I treat every animal with the respect and love they deserve. Whether it's a leisurely walk, playtime, or simply providing companionship during a home visit, I'll ensure your pet's comfort and well-being. While I work a full-time hybrid schedule, my primary work location is from home, providing me with significant flexibility throughout the day. I am eager to accommodate your pet's needs, and I encourage you to contact me to discuss your requirements and scheduling preferences, ensuring we find a time that works for both of us. While I will be providing services at your home, I believe it's important to mention that I am a calm and respectful person, and will treat your home with care.

“Faith was great! She took a last minute request when our typical dog sitter fell through. Very kind, and showered our dogs with attention.”

About: I've loved taking care of pets (both my own and friends') since I was a teenager. I enjoy getting to know each individual pet and their personalities! Trained my own puppies when I was in middle school. Volunteered and visited often at shelters in high school. Currently working freelance, allowing me a very flexible schedule to work around the needs of your pet! Looking for a fun way to get away from the screens! Cannot currently house pets in my home, but open and willing to stay or drop by as often as needed to care for your pet(s). I am very outgoing and energetic to keep them entertained and happy!

“Samantha took care of my cat Maple again while I was on vacation and she once again provided exceptional care. I really appreciated her thoughtful and detailed summaries of her visits as well as all of the pictures. I also left a lot of specific details to follow regarding Maple’s care and really appreciated how Samantha adhered to them all. I was at ease once again during my vacation knowing that Maple was in good hands!”

About: Your pet’s happiness is my main priority. I have experience with big dogs and small dogs. I've grown up with Mastiffs and Great Danes. I have always been an animal lover of all kinds. I have had dogs all my life! I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I am married so when I’m away taking care of your pets my husband is home taking care of ours. I used to use Rover briefly years ago to help care for pets as a fun side job but working another full time made my availability difficult to work with consistently. I recently decided to start being active on Rover again now that I have more availability because working with animals is something that truly makes me happy and I’m passionate about. Daily walking (if requested) and playtime are included with house sitting. I can make adjustments to make your pet as comfortable as possible. I want to do whatever I can to be their advocate out in the world. My pets are my babies and I will treat your pets the same. I enjoy training animals and encourage proper leash & obedience training. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! 🥰🐾 I’m currently working part time as a personal trainer so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m currently very flexible for pet care. I treat your pets like my own! I make sure they are always well taken care of and happy! We play as much as they want and will go on plenty of walks if requested. Can’t forget about the endless supply of pets and cuddles as they please! I also can understand and respect a pet that appreciates their space and has healthy boundaries.

“This experience has been just phenomenal! Donna was very patient with my girls and her daily checkin was what I waited for every day I was away! What a pleasure to find a wonderful service that does exactly what they say they'll do! Thanks again!”

“Kaelyn was great watching our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive and prompt and we came home to a happy cat, we'd definitely recommend her!”

Chase S.

“Daniel has experience with dogs, and recently had a drop in visit for my Great Dane, Lola, and her sister, Smiley. Daniel is responsive and reliable! We will rebook with Daniel and highly recommend!”

Amanda T.

“Alex was an excellent sitter for my two cats. Her communication was great while we were gone and engaged the cats in play, provided pictures and the cats were not desperate for attention when we returned (a sign that they had been well cared for). She was flexible when our trip was cut short due to complicated family dynamics requiring early return. Very happy with the care my cats got!”

Nancy D.

“Lauren was fabulous! Definitely 5 Star rating! She was always on time & we got great photos of Lulu! Definitely would recommend her. She went beyond her duties & swept the litter up around the box perfectly & kept uneaten food in the frig which we forgot to tell her to do! Played with Lulu & stayed with her. Thank you Rover for introducing Lauren to us!”
