About: I provide reliable, low-stress care for pets, with a strong focus on cats. I understand how important routine and a calm environment are, so I keep visits consistent and respectful of each pet’s space and personality. I work in healthcare, which has made me highly detail-oriented, dependable, and consistent in following routines these are qualities I bring into every visit. Each drop-in visit includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning or basic care as needed, and a wellness check. I adjust interaction based on your pet’s temperament, whether they prefer play, a short walk/potty break, or a quieter presence. For dogs needing longer walks or more exercise, I also offer dedicated dog walking services. I focus on clear communication and reliability so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I am fully insured for pet care services. I offer drop-in visits during mornings (before work), evenings, and weekends. This is a limited-availability service, allowing me to focus on a small number of clients and provide reliable, consistent care. Visits are scheduled within specific time windows to ensure efficiency and punctuality. I respect each client’s home and follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine and comfort. I ensure doors are secured, feeding and litter areas are kept clean, and your pet is safe before leaving each visit. I provide updates after visits so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Holly was amazing! We have 4 dogs and they can be a little overwhelming, but they all loved her. She kept in contact with us throughout the week and made sure not only our dogs were taken care of, but also our house. I would highly recommend Holly. We will definitely be using her services again.

Ashley did great with our two pups! She seemed to know how to navigate our more anxious pup and get her to warm up to her, which is huge for me as I worry about our anxious girl! Our other pup is deaf and a bit of a handful, but she did great!

About: I have worked with pets for over 15 years. Growing up, I had five dogs between two households, and now I have a 2 year old pup of my own! I have lived with dogs of all sizes, ranging from dachshund to golden retriever! Through the years, friends and family have trusted me to exercise, bathe, and feed their pets. I attended puppy training sessions with my corgi and golden retriever, so I have some experience with common skills such as sitting, lying down, and staying in one place. My dogs are my entire world, and I promise to treat your pet as if it were my own. I am currently an unemployed college student, so I have plenty of free-time to spend with your pets. My availability for exercising/taking your pet out throughout the week is as follows: Monday 12-6, Wednesday 9-10 & 2-6, Thursday 11:30-6, Friday 9-6. If you need pet care earlier or later on these days, please reach out and I will do my best to workout a time with you. When I come to pick your dog up for their walk, I will leash them and walk them around an area you desire. Regular collars are fine, but harnesses are even better since they are more secure. I will carry water for your pet, and make sure their water/food bowl is filled upon return. I will spend some time playing with your pet and making sure they are relaxed before I take off. If your dog is crated when you are not home, I will lure them into their crate in whichever way you desire.

About: I provide calm, consistent care for dogs and cats so they can stay relaxed and comfortable while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your animal is safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. I also have current experience caring for larger animals (including horses), and have the ability to read body language and handle animals calmly and confidently. You can expect regular updates, and thoughtful care while your pet is with me. I also have experience as a pet and horse photographer, so I naturally capture calm, genuine moments to share while you’re away. I prioritize routine with your pet, so I take a limited number of bookings at a time. Morning: 7:30–10:30 AM Midday: 12–4 PM Evening: 5–9 PM (Friday and Saturday only) Overnight stays are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on scheduling and your pet’s specific needs. I prefer to care for pets in their home so routine and stress levels are kept consistent and low. I follow instructions closely, adjust to each pet’s needs, and prioritize safety. You can expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away.

About: I have worked with just about every type of animal. I worked as a veterinary assistant for five years and fostered for 10+ years. I have always loved animals and always go above and beyond for my furbabies. I often foster animals in need, as well as adopt animals in need. I honestly just have so much love and compassion to give out to all animals. I cant wait to meet your fur babies and get to know them better! Let me know if you have any questions! I am free most days with the ability to tend to your furbaby's needs whenever works best for you, as I am currently self employed and create my own schedule. I have a fenced in yard with lots of toys and room to run. I spend 2-3 hours outside (depending on the weather) with the pups playing fetch or other games.

Hailey stayed in our home with our 2 yo mini Cockapoo and our 7yo cat for a week and did an excellent job. We left a lot of instructions which she seemed to follow to the letter. The house, flowers and animals all looked great when we got home! Will definitely reach out to her again.

About: I am a proud mother of a 9yr old son and an 15 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: My name is Laura. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have been a Rover sitter on and off for about 5 years and would love to take care of your fur babies while you are out of town. I have owned several special needs animals and am good at working with animals of all temperments. I have experience dealing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I especially love caring for older dogs who may need a little extra care and attention. I have worked with large groups of dogs and am willing to take care of several at a time if you have a large pet family. I have open availability and would love to play with your dog and make sure they are well taken care of. I have a full time job with flexibility. As long as I have about a weeks notice it should not be a problem to accommodate weekday visits to pets. Weekends are no problem. I like to do an initial house visit with the owner to get an idea of what the house looks like and where the pet is comfortable. If we cannot get a face to face meeting first please message me with detailed care instructions to ensure proper care for your pet.

Madie was amazing. We had a last minute conflict with our dog sitter and she came to the rescue. It was our first time using someone who was not family watching her. She came to our house on Thanksgiving to do a meet and greet which greatly decreased our hesitation about using someone else to watch our fur baby. Madie went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was professional and extremely kind. She cared for Stella as if she were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough.
