About: Hi nice to meet you all! I started doing Rover because I use to work in vet med and have missed getting to work with animals and their owners. I love working with animals and greatly enjoy the time I spend with them. I do work full time so I do Rover on my off days and before/after my full time job. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats but small pets also(this includes parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils). I am always available to answer questions to pet parents about how their pet is doing in my care, and willing to accommodate additional care instructions as well. While your pet is in my care you will receive a Rover card from each visit/stay with photos provided. I am trained in pet CPR and have experience with senior pets and any medication needs that your pet may have. I am also experienced with shy pets as well and will always allow your pet to take their time to get to know me and warm up to me. My number one goal is that your pet is comfortable, happy and healthy while in my care. I do require a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and a good fit as well. House Sitting. I have recently reopened up house sitting services in your home. I am available each day to ensure your pets and home are taken care. walks if asked for by the owner(no additional charge for these!), play time, food and water checks and any medications administered if needed. Small Pet Care I also have experience caring for small pets and birds if you need your small furry or feathered ones looked after while you are away. I have experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats and mice. Care for these guys will include food and water checks, attention and if needed a spot clean of their cage as well, along with any medications needed if these are required. Boarding/Day Care I have just opened up boarding and daycare(daycare only on select days when I am not working my full time job). Boarding requirements include any dog under 35lbs due to having cats that can be skittish around larger dogs. Your dog must get along with cats and small animals and be okay with being home alone for a few hours a day. Up to date on vaccines and a trial visit will be required to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with us. I do work full time but I do have availability before and after work to care for pets and am available on my off days as well for pet care. I will always ensure to respect your home and ensure it is in the same condition as when you left your pet in my care.

“Erin would be an excellent care taker for your dogs. You can tell after just meeting her how much she loves animals. She would do anything for them. She found a dog on the side of the road, brought it in, and took it to the vet for treatment while waiting for to find their family. Your pets would be in great hands!”
9. Holly V.
About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.
10. Charlese W.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for a large portion of my life, developing a deep understanding of their behavior and needs. With experience handling all sizes and temperaments, I’m also skilled in administering medications and ensuring their comfort and safety. You can trust that your dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were my own family! Since I work a part-time remote job, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me open availability for dog walks and house check-ins. I can easily adjust my day around pet care, ensuring your pets receive attention, exercise, and care whenever needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent, reliable service and be there when your pets need me most! I provide personalized care in the environment your pets are most comfortable in. I follow your routine to keep things consistent, offering walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention, just as they’re used to.

18. Fayetina W.
“Fayetina is a total animal lover and is so compassionate about caring for pets. She has always been so wonderful and kind when cat sitting for me. She is friendly, responsible, and has great fun energy (which is totally great whether you have a quirky energetic cat like mine or a boisterous fun-loving dog)! I have always felt at ease with my pets in her care. I definitely recommend Fayetina as a great caretaker!”
19. Becky W.
“Becky was great! My concern was getting someone to walk the dog in a rural setting and finding our home (unmarked and unpaved road). Even with no sidewalks or paved roads, she came and walked through the snow in the country creating her own path when needed. I highly recommend her and hope to use her again when the need arises.”
20. Holly R.
About: I've had pets my entire life, from rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, dogs and so many more. Family, friends, neighbors & those who have found out about me through word of mouth have relied on me to walk, feed, clean-up after & bathe thier pets ranging from cats, dogs, fish, rats, goats, horses & even a tortoise. I'm home full-time with 2 littles under 5. I'm available to host overnights & daycare & my mornings & early afternoons are open for dog walks & drop-ins anytime before noon Monday-Friday. Saturdays I'm available for the same services, with walks & drop-ins done by 10:30am. Sundays I offer the same services with more flexibility. There is a fenced in yard on the property that allows for potty breaks if a walk isn't a possibilty due to weather or unforseen circumstances. We have a very playful & fun loving girl(spayed) dog who loves company, but prefers submissive male playmates. I am able to seperate dogs into different rooms if needed during a stay. Dogs must be okay with small children for overnights & daycare. For walks & drop-ins, dogs do not need to be child friendly, though this may enable me to be more flexible with timing of a service.
