“Dependable”
About: Hi there! My name is Mia (: Who better to watch your furry babies other than someone who GETS it? As a proud mom to my two adorable kitties, Loki and Goose, and big sister to my family’s husky-Akita, Xela, I understand the importance of finding a good pet sitter. I know firsthand that it's not just about responsibility—it's about kindness, respect, and a genuine love for animals. That’s the kind of care I provide, and it’s why my family and friends always turn to me when they need a trustworthy sitter. Your pets deserve the best, and I’m here to give them just that! I would absolutely love the chance to care for your pets as if they were my own while I’m here! 🐾 Can’t wait to meet your adorable crew! I work from home so I'm super flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs! I love going on walks throughout the day, so I'm happy to take walking breaks whilst working. I care for your furry friends like they're my own — with kindness, compassion, and safety at the forefront. I like to know the nitty gritty — what do they like, what do they not like? Medications? funny quirks? tell me it all and I'm happy to fit into your dynamic.
“So friendly, flexible and caring!”
“We are blessed to have found Annie. Reliable, responsible, sweet to our dog. We can’t wait to have her next week for overnights when we are out of town. She is giving us piece of mind knowing our puppy is with someone like her.”
About: I am a human nurse and have a dog with hemiplegia, so I am well-versed in bladder expression and monitoring for injury. Having 3 special needs pets, means I know how to administer oral medication, eyedrops, injections, and topicals I am not an early riser so if you have a late night out, midnight is not a problem! My availability varies upon my work schedule. I will follow the instructions the pawrents have left. Give all the scritches and love your pet deserves and is accustomed to with photos updates and video
“We are on a road trip and needed some help while we attended a football game! I contacted Kathryn pretty late and she was so willing to help with my Labrador! She’s a bit anxious and Kathryn made her feel calm and took her for a nice walk. Thank you so much Kathryn! You rock!”
About: Animal lover and caring sitter. I have had A lifetime cat mother to adventurous, curious, scared, determined, misbehaving, chatty, quiet and ferocious felines. Kitten, puppy, elder, and medication experience. No stranger to cat nip and tennis balls. I am currently part-time and make my own schedule, so am available for your pet care needs. I also drive so it is easier for me to get to locations that are a bit father from me. I make sure to give the pet their own room when they are staying at my house. I limit interactions with my own pets, because I don't want to stress anyone out. I make sure to give pets in their homes the same exact comfort and care that they are allowed. I make sure to follow owners instructions, and keep them safe and calm.
About: I have 18 years of animal care experience, including my beloved dog Belle, who was part of the family for 11 years before she went to doggy heaven. I worked at a veterinary center for 2 years and a doggy daycare, so I know exactly how to care for every type of dog. I also have experience with dog walking and doing house visits - just my first time using Rover! As far as training experience, I interned at the Shedd Aquarium working alongside dolphin, otter, and penguin trainers so I even have a stash of knowledge about animal training. I have a Bachelor of Science in animal sciences, so I understand your pets inside and out. I have a lot more experience with animal care that I would love to share, just send me a message! Sundays and Mondays are usually open. During the week, I'm mostly available for evening drop-in visits and walks after 5pm or so, but I may have some flexibility so feel free to ask! I always treat my clients' homes with respect. Locking the door back while I walk your dog, cleaning up any messes, and sticking to task are all part of my routine. Because of my years of animal care experience, I am trained to look for abnormal behaviors in pets and follow-up. I provide photos and messages with updates so you never have to worry if everything is alright. Currently, I do not own any pets of any kind so you don't have to worry about your pet interacting with any other animals.
