About: Growing up in the country, I have been an animal caretaker for years. While my personal pets were mostly rabbits and dogs, I served as the community rescue, rehab, and release person for wildlife in the surrounding area. Whether they're young or old, need medication or a specific diet, enjoy chewing everything in sight, or need lots of exercise and love, I am grateful to be able to care for your furry friend(s) in any manner they require. Currently, I work Monday through Friday morning and afternoon, but am completely available on weekends. I can make weekday stop ins during work hours and stay the night any day. I am extremely attentive to detail, whether it be your normal routine/schedule for pet care, providing medication accurately and easily, or double-checking that your pet remains safe on walks or in the home. I will encourage your pets to join me on the furniture if an owner allows, make sure a coat or booties get put on if needed, and send as many pictures as their loved ones want. I treat your pets like they're my best friend too!
“We are so extremely pleased with the petsitting services Kyra provided while staying overnight to care for our 11 year old 60 lb lab mix Macy who had surgery three weeks prior. Kyra is so very kind and wonderful with our dog and she administered Macy’s daily arthritis meds. I know Macy misses Kyra already and so do I. Do not hesitate to have Kyra assist with your house and petsitting needs. She’s wonderful and we highly recommend her!”
“Casey was great! One of our furbabies needs a lot of meds throughout the day. She gave us lots of updates and sent pictures which made us feel at ease while away! We definitely recommend her!”
“Katherine is the best! She kept our animals very happy and would send pictures of them out of walks or playing. She is responsive and very kind! I would hire her again. She left our house very neat and tidy.”
“Katelyn was great. Came over to meet and greet and all our pets warmed up ro her right away. Not only were fur babies well cared for, house was spotless on our return. Will definitely book again.”
“Rachel was great! She knows the trials of having a border collie puppy :) She took extra special care of our Orion. Sent extra cute pics throughout the day, walks an playtime. Sweet girl too.”
About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

“Michaela is an attentive, caring pet sitter. She is an excellent communicator and took perfect care of our little dog as well as our home. I cannot say enough positive things about our first experience with her and Rover.com. I highly recommend Michaela!!!!”
“We are so grateful to Alyssa for taking such good care of Sophie. We left her for the 1st time in 6 years, and Alyssa took wonderful care of her and kept us at ease every day with updates and pictures. Sophie isn't easy, and she is like our child, so trust me when I say that you can trust Alyssa with your fur baby. We will not hesitate to call Alyssa when we go anywhere again, and now we have the peace of mind to make future plans!”
“This was our first experience using a pet sitter and Tierra took care of our pets exactly as we do. She promptly answered all communications and sent picture which reassured us while we were away.”
“Kennedy did a great job with four big, energetic dogs-even the timid one likes her! She took care of them over a weekend. She communicated well and kept everything clean. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Ivanis did everything this rather nervous owner asked. She even made two trips to get familiar with Piper and everything went well. I recommend without hesitation.”
“Candice did a fantastic job with my pup Bo. By the pictures sent to me he appeared to be having a blast. Once she left he was one tired pup. He went to the bedroom to lay down and I hardly heard a peep out of him the rest of the day/night. Thanks for making his day fun!”
“This was my second time leaving my girls with a sitter. Jacee was wonderful, and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met her, along with my dogs. She came to meet us at our home prior, and the one dog who takes a minute to get close, quickly welcomed her. Communicated frequently, sending pictures every morning and evening, which allowed me to see how happy they were with her, and I was able to not worry about them and focus on visiting and helping my grandfather while he is recovering in another state. I am looking forward to having her come back.”
“Lily kept our sweet dog in our home and did a great job. She sent pics and kept us updated. We felt so relieved to have found her and had a great trip knowing our dog was in such good hands. Would highly recommend her.”
“Ronnie was the best! He housesat our dog Goose for a week and watched over my two kitties. He kept everything organized, sent frequent pics, and left the house cleaner than it was when he got here. Super trustworthy and communicative and spent so much time with our pup while we were away. Thank you Ronnie!”

“Nik has watched my dog, Sir Winston, many times through the years. She is great about giving him a lot of outdoor time, playing fetch with him, curling up with him during a storm and making sure he is spoiled, so much that he often doesn't want to leave her. She sends photos and videos to let me know how things are going and seeing how she loves him always makes me feel at ease when traveling. Her knowledge about dog behaviors and when something does not seem right is also amazing. I never have to worry that if there is a problem, she will reach out to me immediately and do whatever is necessary to get him taken care of. I trust her in my home and with one of my greatest treasures. Beware- your dog will love her and perhaps not want to come back home....Nik is absolutely the best!!!”
