About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.
“Kristina did a fantastic job watching my cat, Wes! She was very communicative and clearly such an animal lover. She sent so many photos and provided really great updates for me as well! She took great care of my cat and I came home to a happy, healthy boy! I 100% recommend Kristina for all pet sitting needs :)”
“I highly recommend Thomas as a rover sitter. My two cats were cared for like they were his own and I have never been so at ease when away from them. Thomas’s communication is excellent. In arranging pet sitting dates, discussing pet and household needs, coordinating timing of visits, providing rover card updates, videos, and pictures - he exceeded all expectations. Feeding, cleanliness, monitoring cat health were all done with excellence and dedication. Even with these needs met, I often feel guilty leaving them and worry about them not having enough play or attention. Thomas kept them so entertained that that fear went away for the very first time. I have a cat with special needs and Thomas was so attentive to him and thoughtful in how he played with him and cared for him. I was touched that Thomas was engaged with my cats enough to develop a solid understanding of their personalities and have fun with them. His updates regularly made me laugh. I am so grateful he was the one to take care of my cats. To anyone else considering him as their rover, I expect that if you book him you will feel the same.”
“Star excellent, even when coming in at such short notice for us. Followed all instructions, sent regular updates, and kept us informed in all the goings on. We are incredibly grateful for the help.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life. In my home growing up I had two dogs and a cat. I cared for neighbors animals often whenever they traveled. I’m adept in training dogs and dog behavior. After moving from home I dearly missed my animals and started to volunteer at a rescue center near me five times a week. I’m currently in graduate school online, studying to be an elementary school teacher! I’m doing practical work at schools nearby part time. I’m used to be around two big dogs and one cat everyday but ever since moving out of my hometown I miss the pet life. I volunteer often at a rescue shelter near me! Often I take dogs home for an enrichment vacation from the shelter! I have no pets myself so I offer a comfortable quiet environment for your beloved fur baby! I have a lovely yard just waiting for sniffs. It’s not fenced in but is surround by woods and I plan to fence eventually. And there are so many wonderful walking paths near me.
“Athena took great care of my furry boys! They were alive and well when I returned, and my house was in great condition. She fed them, provided one of them with their meds, and changed the water & litter box as needed (theyre both automatic). She cleaned up the occasional cat hairballs which I was grateful for. She sent me pictures when I asked. Would absolutely hire her again!”
“Annie has been so great with our lab! She was very responsive to our booking request and we were able to work out a schedule for dog care. She immediately clicked with our dog, and their connection made me confident in her pet care abilities! She always sends a report with how their visit went including lots of pictures!”
