Caitlyn is great! I worry about leaving my 2 dogs when going anywhere and I have one that is aggressive until he knows you. Caitlyn took time with him until he was comfortable with her and by the time we got home she had him out of his pen and sitting by her. What a huge relief it was to see this. We will be using Caitlyn again for sure and now maybe we won't have to board our biter when we go anywhere.

Megan stayed over at our house and did a great job with the dogs, and she left our home just like she found it if not better.

Jamie was amazing! I have two beagles, both with different health issues and one who is anxious to the max, and Jamie was fantastic with them. Super communicative and I felt really comfortable knowing my boys and house were in her hands!

Wolfe is amazing with animals they have wanted to be a vet since they could talk. They love learning everything about dog training and has went to one on one classes to learn more. Every animal loves them I swear. So whether or not your looking for a full time dog walker or cat sitter they are a top choice for best service.

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'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 only available anytime after 11am-1pm Monday through Thursday. Friday through sunday I can come anytime. I don't have a current job. 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.
