“We had Patricia care for our 2 indoor cats and 2 ferals. She was reliable and very open to supporting our one indoor cat who was terrified of strangers. We needed to change his care a bit and Patrica adapted to meet his needs. We would definitely recommend her as a solid choice for pet care.”
About: I have had pets most of my life. I mainly care for dogs, cats and horses. I have also assisted in caring for exotic animals in a zoo setting. I am comfortable with all size and breed of your best friend. I currently work full time. I can do visits before I work and after I get off. I would be able to do visits anytime of the day on both days of the weekend. I also can visit anytime on all major national holidays. I would take the utmost care while inside your home. I will provide companionship and care for your furry friend. I will keep you updated on your furry best friend while I am visiting them.
About: I've grown up with all kinds of dogs since I was 8. I've been the family's go-to pet sitter for years. I love every breed, big or small. I've had many kinds of pets personally over the years including cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, chickens, horses and a hedgehog! I volunteered at Zoo Boise as an educator for two years and am familar with exotics. I also lived and worked on a small farm, caring for the chickens and horses. I've much experience with senior animals and animals who need medication. The first dog I adopted was a senior who needed a daily pill. I also frequently give meds to cats in multiple forms as a volunteer at the Ontario Feral Cat Project! I'm currently looking for steady work and am available for animal care 24/7! Whether multiple daily walks or a week long live in sitting, I'm your guy! We'll meet first so I can meet you and your pet! You'll tell me all about them and what they're used to at home or on walks. I cannot take any pets into my home currently.
“I am so thankful to have found Cassandra through Rover. My dogs are my world and she takes excellent care of them. Professional, trustworthy and easy to communicate with. She’s done it all for us, from drop in visits while we’re out of the country to filling the gaps for daily walks. I rest easy when my dogs are in her hands!”
About: I've had a dog in my house one way or another since high school. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly and energetic. I can feed, water, walk, bathe and play with your best furry friend. Whatever your pet needs are, they will be met. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am home everyday, all day minus an errand or two every week. I have more than enough time to give your pet the care and love that is needed while your away. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard, with two very loving, energetic dogs to play with. I can either let the dogs all play or keep them separate for whatever time is needed. I am rarely gone so supervision is always guaranteed.
“Kaiti was just outstanding with Skye and Carter. They love her! Sje is respectful of their routines ans keeps them on those routines. It has greatly helped our move to FL to keep them consistent with daily routines.”
“Taylor did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were out of town for an extended period. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Not only did she ensure our cats were well cared for, but she also helped water our plants, which was a huge help. It gave us great peace of mind knowing we could trust her with our home and our pets. We’re so grateful for her help and definitely hope to have her back the next time we travel!”
About: I have worked with animals my whole life! Trained service dogs as a teenager, trained foster pups, and have really learned their body language. I have some of my own as well as lots of other critters Im a newly stay at home momma - so my days revolve around my animals that I have- ducks, chickens, ,bunnies, and my dogs come first! We love to stay active. We go on lots of walks. We do sniff work in the backyard, play fetch, or hang in the kiddie pool. And we also have a dog treadmill! My goal is always to tire out the dog and have them sleep hard bc a tired dog is a happy dog 🤍 I have a fenced yard on almost half an acre, my livestock is in the back in a separate pen so they can’t be chased. And I also have a gate inside my home so I can separate my dogs from the new ones if needed. I always keep an eye on the dogs even when outside to ensure safety. My dogs are like my kids so I understand the stress of leaving them! So I always make sure to send lots of pics and videos of your dog living their best lives so you feel a little better
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life. I've even helped deliver puppies! Family and friends have relied on me to check in on their pets, give baths, feed and groom their dogs. I only work on the weekends right now so I have plenty of time during the week to give your dogs the love and care they need. I am comfortable around dogs and very energetic. I can crate your dog if needed and take your dogs on lots of walks (and I'm very mindful of how hot/cold the ground is for them).

“Kety is wonderful! I would definitely recommend her for taking care of your pets. She handled my three dogs well. They were happy to see her each day and she took them on walks and played with them during her visits. She sent photos and assured me that the dogs were doing fine. I was very worried about leaving them for six nights. She was in contact with me each day to let me know what she was doing which really set my mind at ease. I am hopeful that she would be willing to do this again for me in the future!”

Madison G.
“5-Star Review for Our Amazing Dog Sitter We couldn’t be happier with the care our two dogs received! Madison went above and beyond to make sure both Ollie (Scottish Terrier) and Ripley (Golden Retriever) were happy, comfortable, and well-loved while we were away. Our dogs enjoyed daily walks, playtime, and snuggles and even a few surprise treats. Communication was excellent she sent regular updates, photos, and even videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The house was clean when we returned, and the pets were happy. Highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and truly caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be hiring her again.”
