“Olga’s updates + pictures everyday helped me feel at peace leaving my cat for 2 weeks! I would 100/10 recommend booking her for any and all pet needs! I will 100% book her again in the future when I go out of town!”


“Emylee was fantastic. It was my pups first non-family member stopping in to care for them during a day trip out of town. She did a meet and greet before the scheduled stop in giving us all good vibes. Lots of pictures and a blurb about what they got up to during the visit was a cute and welcome surprise. Highly recommend!”


“Lauren is fantastic! Super attentive and communicative. Easy to work with and very gentle with my super shy cat who needed medication administered.”

“Erica and Christopher were amazing and extremely professional! My usual sitter had cancelled on me last minute and they were able to fill in for them. They made sure to feed my kitties the correct diets and gave them some playtime, and it was almost like no one had ever left home! I highly recommend their services”

About: I have had dogs, cats, and rabbits in my adult life and had dogs growing up. I just lost my 12 year old senior dog, sweet Mayble, a week ago. Mayble required extensive medical attention as she had kidney disease, a herniated disc that made it difficult to walk, arthritis, and allergies. She required daily medication for her ailments, She also needed frequent potty breaks, extra water, and extra care going up and down stairs and up onto the couch. I had to be in-tune with her if her little body was getting tired from a walk, I also currently have rabbits who require litter cleanings, hay, pellets, lettuce, and socialization, I’m currently in the process of bonding my 2 rabbits which requires a lot of time and patience. In a personal note, I’m a 37 year old single female who works in the education system. I am mature, capable, and responsible and would take care of your precious fur babies as if they were my own. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Currently I’m on Summer vacation until the beginning of August so, unless I’m going somewhere to camp overnight, My schedule is very open right now! I can care for young animals all the way up to senior animals. I am available for drop-ins, walking, or even house sitting. Let me know what you need! 😊

“Sinead was excellent, responsive and provided pictures and updates every visit. The cats had plenty of play time and pets and warmed up to her very fast. Know your cats are in caring and thoughtful hands while you are away.”


About: I care for animals unconditionally. I am currently training my 10 month old Malamute and through this experience I have learned that I am able to read dogs really well. I have always had dogs, usually lots of them. My mom showed me how to care for them and is on Rover as well. She has probably taken care of your pet! I am experienced in medical care and I also stay very active (especially now with an arctic mixed breed around.) Most importantly, I am excited to get to know your pet and show them love and attention. My schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available during the week and typically off on the weekends. I will likely walk dogs in the morning and then at lunch and something longer in the evenings. When at my home, your dog will have a fenced backyard. There is a small unfenced section to walk through from our door. Depending on your dog we will pass through this leashed or unleashed (up to you!) My car is set up with a dog gate for safer trips to go hike on or off leash. We feed all dogs seperate from each other (you never know..) and will only go off-leash once your dog knows and trusts us. I am happy to learn from you about what cues your dog requires to stay close and safe.

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, horses and even goats - I’m no stranger to pet care and all that it entails. As a nurse, I have a rotating schedule that allows me to have frequent weekdays off so I can help you with your pets! Additionally, it means I have no qualms about veterinary care such as medications or special precautions for any pups who need it. I have my own Alaskan Husky, Dash, so I’m no stranger to puppy training, either. I’m happy to do whatever I can to make sure your doggo has the best day. My work schedule varies week to week, but I always have 4 days a week off to help out with your pup. On those days, my days are pretty free to accommodate your dog’s care needs! Refer to my Rover calendar for availability. I have a fenced yard as well as a very sweet young pup named Dash who can play with your dog if you would like! I live right near a great trail system for dog walks, but I also love to go for hikes if that’s what your dog needs, and I have a comfy couch for those who rather snuggle up with me while I read.
