“Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of my cats over the holiday! Lots of pictures to so I could see how well cared for they were in my absence.”
About: I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately. I would like it to be part time to start with the option of going full time further down the road. I am working on grooming lessons, and my current part time job. I believe in being observant of their behaviors and to respond accordingly. Our dogs receive much love and play time. They are allowed to be with us and on our furniture. I realize that many owners frown upon that and I will honor their wishes when caring for their pet
“Leo has been letting our 2 huskies out daily through the work week for 2+ months now. He has been very kind and patient with our fur babies (one of our dogs is 13 years old and needs a lot of extra attention). Leo always makes sure to keep us updated on our dogs and has been very reliable. Highly, highly recommend Leo to watch your fur babies!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing. Not only did she care for my animals but she treated them as they were her own. Before I left for my trip she told me “don’t worry they’re in good hands”. She didn’t lie when she said that. If I need a dog sitter again I will be contacting her!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old and I truly enjoy all the warmth and love a dog brings into a home. I have taken in senior dogs (10+) over the years and had extensive experience with blind, and deaf senior dogs. I have experience with incontinence, mobility issues, special dietary needs, medication injections, and palliative care. I also have experience with young puppies (under 6 months) along with experience doing dog training with my own dogs throughout my life. Both me and my husband have transitioned to remote work so we are home throughout the day, which is excellent for senior dogs who need extra care. I have a partially fenced in yard and live close to several hiking trails. Depending on your dogs needs, the amount of time between potty breaks can be adjusted as well as the amount of exercise given throughout the day. Dogs are all fed separately while water is available at all times. I do have a 3 year old rat terrier (19 pounds) who loves any and all dogs she meets - she has been around many senior dogs.
“Francis was great with our lab and a great communicator. She sent us pictures and videos while we were away giving us peace of mind. Definitely recommend and will be using her again when we need a dog sitter.”
“My search is over! I was hesitant to return to the Rover app after having family care for my now 13yr old yorkie while away. Heather has such a patient and attentive personality that put me at ease and that is impressive as a Type A dog mom!! I'm already planning to rebook with her!!!”
“Tina was absolutely amazing! I had to leave for a few days and she responded so quickly to the request, followed by a meet and greet, and then constant communication throughout the days I was away. She took loving care of my senior kitty (18 years old), which required giving daily medications and cleaning up messes since my elderly baby has trouble with incontinence. Extremely friendly and personable. I highly recommend her to anyone. She put my mind to ease as I was very worried about my girl while away.”
About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.
“Kourtney was great! I appreciate her communication with me while caring for my cats.”
About: I have always been an animal lover, having multiple cats, dogs, chickens and taking care of the animals on my aunt’s farm since I was a child. I work at a doggy daycare which has enhanced my knowledge of different breeds energy levels, mannerisms and needs as they grow older. I would love to give your furry kids all the fun, love and care they would otherwise miss while you are away! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your furry kids lots of love and attention! I’m available on the weekends, mornings 7-11am and at night after 6:30pm and offer overnight care everyday. I will follow any instructions or suggestions you give me and always respect your home. If you have a fenced in yard I will let your kids run wild, if not, I will happily take them on a 30 min walk minimum and play with them lots afterward so they get a good exercise! I will give them lots if attention and kisses and send you pictures of them living their best life!

I have experience house sitting/pet sitting in my friends homes for years. I'm comfortable feeding pets and giving medications if necessary. Also fine with cleaning up messes.

“Doreen was an amazing sitter for Sadie! She updated me with a lot of pictures, videos, and description of her visit every day. She is very communicative and it’s obvious she loves animals. I’m so happy to have met her and completely trust her taking care of Sadie. 😊”
About: People should hire me to watch their pets because I have experience dog and house sitting for many of my family members, family friends, and people that we know through work that own dogs that have asked my sisters and I to watch their dogs when they are traveling out of the country or state. I when in dog sit, I would make sure that the the dogs are on a feeding schedule for morning, noon and night and take them out for a walk before I either leave for work, school or have to do errands for the day. Or, I would usually take the pets over to my house so that it can be easier to watch the dogs with mine and see them interact with my dogs. I make sure that the dogs get plenty of exercise beforehand, for example, walk them, play with a ball, frisbee, etc. before leaving for the day or we go to bed so that it would be easier for them to fall asleep faster.
“Rachel was so wonderful in taking care of my fur baby as well as his buddy that we are dog sitting for the next week! Rachel did everything we asked plus more and handled the two big pups with ease! I will absolutely be reaching out to Rachel anytime my husband and I are away!”
