“Alicia is great!! Our 3 dogs loved her and we had no worries while on vacation when they were with her! Very dependable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed getting constant updates and pics of our fur babies! Definitely will be using her anytime we need a sitter.”

“Kyleen is the best! We only ever pick her to watch our Sadie girl because of her attention to detail, snuggles, kindness, and her going above and beyond. You can depend on Kyleen!”

About: I grew up around farms and have took care of cats and dogs most of my life! I’ve been doing walkings and pet sitting for friends and family for the past 6 years. I currently work part time outside of Rover. Which means my schedule is open for all of your pets and family’s care needs. Drop ins are easily done. I enjoy care taking in your home setting for your pets comfort and safe care. I have 10 years home care experience with elderly and disabled and would love to care for fur baby family members also.
About: I’m taking care of my family friends dog several times time my client has been very happy, can’t wait to meet your amazing animals soon I work a full time job Monday through Friday 9am to 5:30 PM so I am available to set Friday evening Saturdays and Sundays 😊 I’m a very tiny person and will take care of your place with the upmost respect and will take care of your pet in the same manner
About: I've taken care of many pets over the years and I'm an animal lover in general. I have a Great Dane, bunny, turtle, and some fish currently. I have owned cats in the past though just not currently. I can handle big and little dogs even if they aren't the best trained then I'm the person for you. I have a lot of patience with animals. I can handle cats too I get they can have a variety of personalities. Whether they're friendly or not I'll care for them as you need. I will also take care of any other pet in your household if you need I'm not afraid of any animals. Due to college I'm not available during certain times Monday and Wednesday but other than that I have a pretty flexible schedule. I don't have any kind of full time or part time job. I just do dog walking/sitting right now. I walk 2 dogs Monday through Friday currently, I have room for 1-2 more dogs depending on the length of the walk and times. If I sit your pet in my home I have gated off areas so they can't get into anything that will harm them. They'll still have plenty of space they'll be kept in the living room and dining room which is connected so it's plenty of space. I'll be here the entire time I won't leave the house if you're pet is with me. I'll play with your cat or dog and give them the attention they need. I'll feed and water them at your scheduled times needed. I'll walk them and take them out when needed. Whatever the pet needs I'm here for. I do have a dog of my own and if your pet isn't friendly with other dogs then I will keep my dog separated from yours for safety reasons. I do have a bunny but it's in an enclosed room that your pet will not have to be near.
About: I've raised animals of all sorts all my life so I am very passionate about giving the best care to any and all types of animals. I have spare time in my weeks to walk, play, pet and cuddle your pet. If you have a schedule set for them then I will keep them on it to the best of my abilities and if no schedule then I can wing it and even make one if you'd prefer. I supervise all outside time not just the walks, I keep a close eye on your pet to make sure no one gets into or out of anything their not supposed to and if you have a door charging pet I can keep them from slipping past and can even help teach them to refrain by request only. I work anywhere from 1-3 times a week which leaves me with a lot of spare time on my hands to help others furry friends. Though I don't offer stays in my home, I will be mindful of yours, if you have specific rules or routines for your pet I will happily uphold them and will always look out for the safety of your pet.

“Kirsten did an amazing job watching our dogs! They loved her and she provided diligent, attentive care to them. Our dogs aren’t easy, from daily meds to allergies, they can be a lot to take care of and Kirsten managed it all perfectly. She kept us very well informed while we were gone, sending lots of photos and updates. She also was very neat and clean while she stayed over. I would recommend Kirsten highly to anyone seeking a trustworthy, reliable pet sitter! We are so grateful to her and can’t wait to use her services again!”
