“Claire was amazing with our cats! We were able to enjoy our vacation without being worried about them. She was very communicative and we loved all the updates and photos. One of our cats who is more nervous around people quickly warmed up to Claire. We will definitely have Claire care for our pets for our future travels!”
“This is our 2nd time hiring Elsie to take care of our cat. She listens carefully as you explain your animals idiosyncrasies, lol, ss they all have their own little personalities. Misha is afraid of everyone including us but she seems to take to Elsie. we decided to spend our stay out of town by an extra night. Elsie accepted and confirmed her ability to do so within 5 minutes which was a huge relief! She also watered a few plants for me! She's an A+ furry babysitter I highly recommend. As long as she has availability, I'll always contact her first when I need a sitter.”
“Hannah was fantastic with our cats! She checked on them every day while we were out of town for two weeks, and everything went smoothly. She is communicative, attentive, and great with cats. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
About: I have worked in the animal field for a very long time I have worked with boarding animals as well as playing with daycare dogs, I have 2 shepherds of my own! I used to foster puppies and kittens and loved it! Attending to my own animals needs is a daily routine that I love doing I love playing with them and feeding them and giving them baths and I love training them I wouldn’t be who I am today if I wasn’t able to be with animals! I like to earn every animals trust before I make any move to love and take care of them, I have taught and fixed resource guarding and worked on food aggression with my dogs and I always separate to feed if needed to
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I truly love animals and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for and play with your pups. Can't wait to become your pet's bestfriend!!!! I’m comfortable going to your home to care for your pet. I always make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved in their own space. I follow instructions carefully and treat every pet like family.
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! This was my first Rover experience and I couldn’t be happier using Kristen! She gave thorough updates each visit and provided many pictures. She was more than accommodating with the weird schedule we had. I highly recommend Kristen and she even gave extra love to the additional indoor and outdoor animals (she was only responsible for one dog!). I am so glad to know we have someone to check on Rosie and the other animals during future travels. Thank you Kristen!!! 🫶🏽”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. From fish, to farms, kittens, to cattle, dogs, and beared dragons, I love them all! I can help keep your furry baby safe and comfortable when you aren’t able to! I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule. I have 2 friendly dogs that are neutered and up to date on their shots. I would love to have a furry friend come hang out or I can take a nice break with your baby at your house! We have a large yard on a country road. Our yard is not fenced in. I am diligent to keep our dogs leashed. I have limited neighbors who do not own animals.
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, my pets and others, and it's truly second nature to me. I'm extremely responsible, reliable, and treat every pet like they're my own. I make sure my clients feel at ease by sending regular updates and plenty of cute photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just quiet company, I’m here to provide loving, attentive care. I work in the office of a PRE K school, so my summers are wide open, giving me plenty of time and flexibility to focus on pet care! With an open schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, visits, feedings, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. Caring for animals fits perfectly into my routine, and I love having the extra time to give them the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a priority to follow their routines and preferences closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, favorite toys, or special quirks that make them feel at ease. I provide personalized care to meet each pet’s unique needs, helping them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. My goal is to make your time apart as stress-free as possible, for both you and your furry family.
About: I have years of experience with animals going back as far as 5 years old. I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and even different types of birds. I've always loved teaching animals new tricks, cuddling, even watching them get the zoomies outside. Animals can be a lot of fun when you let them experience different environments and aspects of life. I also had a job at a pet boarding place. This consisted of being outside with the dogs in runs, playing with them, cleaning the rooms and more. I have 2 dogs at home. One boxer and one german shepard. I work a lot so when i'm home I try to spend as much time with them as I can when I am home. One of the things my german shepard likes to do is chase water from the hose, so during the summer time, we do that a lot. On the other hand, Tyson is a little bit older but he still gets the zoomies, he likes to playfully growl outside but then when he's done, he likes to sun bathe lol. To include all this, I also have 2 guinea pigs who need lots of attention. I try to bring them out of the cage by 1 everyday to spend quality time with them because they're very loving. They enjoy being outside and eating the clover, they sure do appreciate when they get their veggies! They need their nails trimmed about once a week so I do keep up with that. Bathing them isn't a high priority since they just like cats and bathe themselves but a bath once every 3-4 months will be perfect. Our dog tyson, tends to get scared of storms really easily, so when this happens I try to comfort him as much as possible wether that's putting on his jacket, letting him up on my bed because he's scared and needs some cuddles.
“Riley was so great and communicated with us the whole time. She showed up on time and had our dogs outside playing fetch, which they love so much! We would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs her services and will be using her again in the future!”
“This is the 2nd time Laura has watched our cats for an extended time, and we’ve been very thankful for her consistency and flexibility. She’s a great communicator and we love getting pictures of the cats every day, too! She’s made us feel much better about being away from them while traveling.”
About: I will take care of any pet. I have taken care of cats and dogs but have no animal limits. I will make your your pets are happiest! Pet care is currently my full time job. Feel free to ring me up anytime day or night for your pet care needs. Truly 24 hours I give fresh water and food every day. I will pet them and play with them if they want, or leave them alone if they want to be left alone.
“Rebecca was fantastic. Great communication from start to finish and even alerted us about ants getting into a new auto feeder for our cats and helped rectify the issue. Food and litter areas were left clean. Great job!!”
