About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and personal experience. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic care, and giving plenty of love and attention. I’m always eager to learn your dog’s unique needs and preferences. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays and have most weekends free, allowing me to provide attentive, loving care and plenty of quality time for your fur babies When babysitting pets in my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where they can safely go outside when needed, and I live in a great neighborhood for walks. I always follow the pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care.

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

About: Many many years experience taking care of pets and house sitting. I’ve looked after all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, birds, fish, and even some farm animals. I’m great at following instructions for the pets and household. Whether it’s giving medication or watering houseplants, I got you covered! I want to give the pet owner as much peace of mind as possible that their fur babies will be safe and happy. I’m available Sun-Sat. 7 days a week. I can also do overnights. Babysitting is my main job, but I’d love to switch to pet sitting full time! I try my best to care for pets as perfectly as possible. I’m great at following instructions for the animals and home. I will always spoil them too! I love giving lots of pets and hanging out on the couch with them. I will treat them like my own fur babies 😊!

About: Hi! I’m someone who truly loves animals, especially dogs. I have an 11 month old puppy of my own, so I understand how much care, attention, and patience they need every day. I’ve also had other dogs in the past and regularly pet sit for friends and family, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I’m reliable, caring, and treat every dog like my own. I genuinely love spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. So it is currently softball season for me I’m in High school. I can usually do the afternoons around 5 and later and on. Also some days I can even do 1-3 hours. It usually just depends on my softball schedule but am willing to work around schedules. I currently have 1 dog his name is Willy and he’s a Boston terrier. He’s very self sufficient and I enjoy helping him and teaching him things. I also dog sit my uncles dogs he has a frenchie and a xl bull dog. They are very high energy leveled dogs so it takes a little more but I can handle that because they’re just very friendly and want to play. I also used to take care of 2 bunnies for my aunt. I’m gentle, patient, cautious, and caring, when it comes to animals.

Miki was absolutely wonderful doing drop ins for my two cats. She played with them so much and gave them their food and did their litter box and gave them treats. She was dependable and communicated well and gave me a very in-depth card at the end of her visits. I will definitely use her again in the future. I know my cats were happy with her.

About: I've helped friends, family, neighbors, co workers and many more by dog sitting, walking, feeding, and giving medicine to their pets. Have experience with a wide range of breeds including Great Danes, Cane Corsos, Rottweiler, Frenchies, Cavaliers, German Shepherds and many different cats lol. Also have experience with houses that have both dogs and cats. Currently working a hybrid schedule so am able to work my schedule around by helping and visiting families who need that help with their pets. Have always been inquisitive and go the extra step by asking any specific needs and researching before hand the breed so I can be best prepared for the pet and give them the best care and attention possible.

I was away for 8 days and Jill came over twice a day during that time to take care of my dog and cat (feed, water, potty, cuddle). She brought in my mail, added water to my pool, and sent me photos and documentation on each visit. She is so reliable, I didn’t have to worry at all. And best of all the animals look forward to her visits. So glad I found Jill!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my grandmother fostered animals in the country, so I was constantly around all kinds of pets—even pot-bellied pigs! That experience helped me become very comfortable with animals of all types and temperaments. Today, I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I spend time caring for animals, helping them feel safe, and giving them the attention and love they deserve. I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I don’t take that lightly. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I’m available from 8 AM to 2 PM and again from 6 PM to 9 PM each day. With my kids in school full time, I have a flexible schedule and love spending that time caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. I care for pets in their own home through drop-in visits and walks, making sure they stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll take care of feeding, fresh water, playtime, and any routine needs like litter boxes or potty breaks, along with giving them lots of attention and care while you’re away. At this time, I don’t offer overnight stays or boarding in my home, but I’m dependable and consistent during my scheduled visits.

We recently went on a three-day international trip and needed someone truly trustworthy to look after our cat. We were fortunate enough to find Vicki, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. She asked the right questions, paid attention to every detail, and instantly gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Vicki cared for our cat with a level of dedication and kindness that is rare to find. She didn’t just “check in” on him—she genuinely spent time with him, comforted him, played with him, and made sure he felt safe and loved in our absence. Her updates were consistent, detailed, and incredibly reassuring. Each photo and message reflected how much she truly cares about animals. When we came back home, we could immediately see the difference. Our cat was calm, happy, and completely relaxed—almost as if we had never left. In fact, over the past few days, we can tell he genuinely misses Vicki and keeps looking toward the door, waiting for her to walk in again. It’s rare for him to bond with someone new so quickly, and that alone says everything about the level of comfort and trust she created. To be honest, we feel like we’ve found a new member of our family in Vicki. Her kindness, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional caregiver. Knowing that our cat was in such capable and loving hands allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. I would recommend Vicki to anyone on Rover who wants true peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of your pet, Vicki is absolutely the person you want. We are so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her again.
