“Cannot recommend her highly enough. I have a very high energy dog with a couple issues and my girl took to Monica like she was family the moment they met. Her regular updates and pictures put me at ease that both of them were having fun. This was my first Rover experience and I couldn’t be happier. Will definitely recommend and book her again”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since childhood — from cats and dogs to goats, horses, birds, and reptiles. I grew up volunteering at farms, sanctuaries, and shelters, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. Since 2020, I’ve been providing pet care in a more focused, consistent way. I’m confident with asthma meds, general medicine distribution, nail trims, and baths for both small animals and pets of all sizes. Whether it’s a cuddly cat, energetic pup, or shy chinchilla, I meet every animal with patience, care, and respect. • Monday & Tuesday: 8:30am – 8:30pm (full open availability) • Thursday: 8:30am – 7:30pm (full open availability) • Sunday: 4:00pm – 8:30pm (only available after volunteering) I treat every pet like one of my own — with patience, respect, and a calm presence. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I prioritize safety by following routines closely, keeping environments clean and low-stress, and making sure pets always have access to fresh water, comfort, and enrichment. I’m mindful of unique needs like medications, shy temperaments, and special diets, and I always communicate openly so you feel secure and connected while you’re away.

“This was our first experience with Shana and Rover.com. Our experience has been a very positive one. We had Shana house sit and care for our two dogs and cat. She did a wonderful job with the animals and house including feeding one of the dogs a special diet and collecting our mail and newspaper. While we were away, Shana was in touch regularly. We came home to three happy animals and the house as we left it. Shana was very friendly and accommodating. We have definitely found a new house/animal sitter.”

“Kerryanne was extremely responsive, kind and clean. She did everything that was asked, and even more! We'd love to use her services again. Highly recommend.”

Lisa P.

“Katrina is a lovely, highly competent, and thoughtful sitter. She stayed 3 days with my 3 elder kitties and did an excellent job in administering medication, feeding, caregiving, and updating me with photos on their status. What a relief to be away and knowing that all was well at home with the kitties. I highly recommend Katrina and consider her the go-to person for my future!! cat care!”

About: I have been taking care of animals big and small for as long as I can remember! When I was in my early teens I started pet sitting, and once I was 18 I began working on local horse farms; mucking stalls, and learning as much as I could along the way. I take pride in knowing I am knowledgeable and dependable; I’ve fulfilled duties as grand as farm/kennel sitting- (meticulous care; maintaining medicine and feed schedules, cleaning services, turn in and out, organization of multiple and large quantity of animals at a time) …. I’ve spent time with all different types of personalities of all different species; aggressive ankle biters to couch potato gentle giants. Over the past decade and a half I have enjoyed the company of horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I love animals and I love providing quality care. I am observant and trustworthy- feel free to ask me anything!! I would like to make this more than part time! I have a very flexible schedule as of lately with no obligations aside from being busy a few early mornings out of the week; as I do work on a farm still as needed. Shoot me a message and let’s talk scheduling! I have a private backyard, not fenced in but I am more than vigilant and always have time and patience for leash walks and hikes, and leashed/supervised backyard shenanigans. Whatever you and your animal are comfortable with; we will make it happen and I can accommodate accordingly.

About: I absolutely adore animals. I have a dog of my own that I take care of and I took care and puppy-sat my sisters dog & cats for months beforehand. I am only comfortable watching friendly and clean pets! I have open availability & would love to help out if you need to get away or just have work! I'd describe my personality as friendly, comfortable to talk to, and trustworthy. I like working with animals because they deserve to be loved and taken care of, they deserve to have fun and someone to help them just like anyone else. I'm looking for a job where I can help take care of animals while also making them feel comfortable to rest or play! I started working with animals 3 years ago. In my spare time, I like to watch shows and spend time with my puppy One thing you should know about me is you can be honest and trust me with anything. I am here to help you and your animal feel safe I am looking forward to taking care of your pet and ensuring that they don’t feel alone or bored & that they can get all the enrichment that they need in. I have a dog in my home that I care for, i take him on long fun walks so he can get all his sniffs and playtime in, I feed him and give him gentle pets to make him feel comfortable and safe.

About: The thing that sets me apart from the rest is I have been around dogs since I was born. I really take the time to give them love and take care of their needs. Pet sitting fits into my routine on the weekends or anytime I am off from school such as college breaks. Just need to message and I will check my schedule. In my home I will feed them, walk them, play with them. Same goes to the clients home. I am also open to whatever the client needs or would like me to do for their pet.
