About: My experience caring for animals started in high school, when I would check in on family and friends’ pets while they were away. I loved getting to spend time with their pets and making sure they were fed, happy, and well cared for. Since then, I’ve gained 3 years of experience working in veterinary hospitals and am now a first year veterinary student at LMU. I’ve cared for pets before and after surgery, monitored their recovery, and helped with their everyday needs. I’m also Fear Free Certified, which has taught me how to help pets feel comfortable and less stressed while in my care. As a first-year veterinary student, I definitely have a busy schedule, but I always make time for the things I commit to. When I’m caring for your pet, they are my priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care, and I’ll keep you updated so you know they’re happy and doing well while you’re away. When house sitting, I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they can feel comfortable while you’re away. Since I have multiple years of veterinary experience and am Fear Free Certified, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines.
“One of our cats just got diagnosed with Diabetes so he needs insulin shots twice a day and we were nervous to leave him but Savannah made us feel comfortable and did a great job giving him his shots. Even our shy kitty came out to greet her often. I love that she sent photos and updates. She was very helpful and was great with communication!”
“Amanda was great with my cat!! I had just moved and he was most definitely stressed in a new spot (as was I) and she put my mind at ease and sent lots of pictures and gave him lots of love :) highly recommend!”
About: I am fear free certified and have extensive training in animal handling. I have owned dogs my entire life and my love for animals has led me to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I promise to love your pets as if they're my own and ensure quality services when caring for your animals! As a Veterinary student I have times throughout the day that are free for me to take care of personal jobs. This allows me to have flexible hours and ensure adequate amount of studying time. Taking care of your pets on my breaks is just as beneficial to me as it is to you! Everyone needs a pick me up and being in such a challenging program surrounding myself by lovely pets builds my animal connection and practice for my future career. I would ensure that your animal would never feel threatened, I have learned how to observe the animals behavior, react in calm manners, and determine when something is abnormal. I would treat clients and their pets as if they are apart of my family and ensure happiness among each pet I have the privilege to look after. I am very respectful and great at communicating so anything the client may need can be communicated and further discussed!
“Cherisa did an excellent job taking care of my cats while I was away on vacation. We met during a meet and greet and I showed her where everything was at and what my cats needed. She was very kind, sweet, and knowledgeable about animals. She is a vet tech and is in school to become a Veterinarian. So I knew that my cats were in great hands. She fed them, gave them water, administered my cat's medicine, cleaned their litter boxes, and even swept and wiped up accidents. I was able to really enjoy my vacation because Cherisa was prompt on her drop ins and was very thorough with her work. She provided a summary of how everyone was doing and pictures of my babies. I loved the updates. They really eased my mind knowing I did not have to worry about the cats. If you are looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter, book Cherisa. She did an outstanding job for our family. Thank you!”
“Christine did a great job with my cats. She sent me pictures and messages while I was gone, and they seemed to be well taken care of when I got home. I definitely recommend Christine!”
About: — About Me Since 2018 I have done in-home pet sitting professionally, have had pets all my life, and I have loved animals of every kind for as long as I can remember. And I treat your pets the same way I would my six: with quality time, affection, and plenty of patience. The difference with a sitter like me is that I’m up for the challenge. I’m not just here for the “easy” ones — I believe every pet deserves a chance. (Ask how many times I’ve been bit or scratched! 🤣) I’ve researched training and positive reinforcement techniques, and I use that to provide the most gentle care to my pets and yours. Just like a child, their safety will always be first priority. — Your Time Away The sudden change in routine, environment, and distance can cause anxiety, stress, and temporary behavioral changes and this can even affect behavior once you return. After being gone for so long, sometimes even with a pet sitter, anxious or high-energy pets can become unusually restless, clingy, bark or meow excessively, act out, or even withdraw. This is usually temporary, but a real possibility. Because of this, daily drop-ins are something to consider if you haven’t already. Whether you’re gone for the day or just away at work, the companionship and structure is a game changer for misbehavior. — What I Offer They thrive on consistency, connection, and gentle correction so my goal is to maintain the routine and training/boundaries you’ve set in place while providing affection and entertainment. I’ll even stay with them when they’re ill, and I have experience with special needs and administering medications/injections. At work for 12 hours? Book a walk for that rowdy pup. Gone for a bit? That calls for a drop-in visit. Out of town for the day? Doggy daycare has your back. Vacationing for the week? House sitting will handle that. And who doesn’t love to come back to a tidy home? Ask me about a one-time clean so that you return feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready to resume life. — Next Steps Just reach out! Don’t be shy with any questions or concerns. After, we’ll schedule a complimentary (within 25 miles) in-person meet-and-greet to touch base on needs, routine, training, and house rules. This is the perfect time to request a quote for cleaning and daily photos/updates. Thank you for reading and for considering me when you aren’t home. Meet ya later! 🐾😊 I’m currently in school full time and from Monday-Friday and I can be with your pet until 7:45am, for 30 minutes around 12pm, and after 5pm into nighttime. I truly view our pets as children, and I am a protector of both. In your home I live by the motto, “leave it better than you found it”.
About: I’ve worked in vet med for about 4 years. Have some knowledge about medication and experience working with pets of all ages! Beagles are my favorite! :) Available any day of the week! Happy to pop by multiple times a day at your request! There are quite a few dog parks in this area that I don’t mind taking your fur baby on a trip to!

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a kid, growing up around farms , taking large dogs on walks for exercise, house siting, and volunteering at animal shelters.

No request is too demanding, I am a very detail oriented person with years of experience in operations management.

Perfect for those weekend trips if you need to get away for any reason! I have a dog and cat of my own, so I know how most dogs are and I also know how much cats are. I am also currently working as a vet assistant. I know all the basics of taking care of both animals and fully capable of doing whatever you need.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
