About: I've been around dogs my whole life and taking care of them since I was a little girl. I have experience with kinds of dogs ranging from taking care of senior dogs to training puppies, big and small. I currently work from home on my own schedule, so I am free and flexible to take your dog on a walk throughout all hours of the day. I ensure your pet is safe at all times by driving with extra caution and using a dog seatbelt. I avoid highways and only drive on roads that are 25mph-35mph. I let you choose from a variety of dog-friendly walking locations and also provide a tracker that allows you to see where we are at all times. If your neighborhood has a sidewalk, I can walk the dog without ever having to get in the car. On top of this, I have obtained a Cat and Dog First Aid Certification from the Red Cross and a Dog Walker Certification from the International Association of Professions Career College.
“i recently left my dog mavis with yvonne and her family and i have no doubt whatsoever that i will continue to seek thier care for mavis in future travels. it would be impossible for me to overstate how impressed and relieved i was by thier overwhelming show of love and kindness towards mavis as well as thier sensitivity towards my concerns. an absolute slam dunk. the only draw back is that when i picked mavis up she was clearly bummed out to leave thier house! what a relief it is to have that peace of mind when leaving your dog behind for a while. its priceless. im so gratefull and i strongly suggest you choose yvonne for your pet sitting needs. its a no brainer!”
“Cayton was my first time using rover and she was fantastic! My 2 cats warmed up to her very quickly and I never felt uneasy about being away. She made sure they were well attended to during visits and Ioved getting a daily report card/photos. I will be booking her again!”
“Absolutely the best care possible. Adriana and Christopher went above and beyond to care for our pet and home. They are extraordinarily loving, considerate and trustworthy and leave you with the comfort and knowledge that everything is being looked after.”
“Sara was incredibly professional and appeased all my needy cat mom wants. I so appreciate her time and am so happy to have found a kind and reliable sitter for our cats when we’re out of town.”
“Thank you so much Erin for dropping in on my pups last minute. You were very clear on your arrival expectations and you followed my care instructions perfectly. The dogs clearly were excited to see & play with you!”
“Samantha is our go-to for Luna! She’s Always reliable, pro & communicative & sends cute pics & goes beyond (like bringing in a package left on stairs so it doesn’t get wet) or letting us know if anything seems important with house while we’re away. 🐱”
“So sweet and easy to work with. Came by on Thanksgiving day to check on my precious cats and sent me the cutest photos and update! Such a relief when you’re away from home :)”
“Ruzziliann was fantastic with our 3 kitties. She sent plenty of pictures and great notes about how everyone was doing while we were gone. She even brought a package in we forget we were receiving that needed to be refrigerated immediately. All 3 of the kitties were happy and well cared for while we were gone.”
“Carley did a great job caring for our two cats after we booked on very short notice, including food/water, litter, spending quality time with them, and medications, too. Much appreciated & will book again next time we need a cat sitter. Thanks!”
About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. I will be working part time over the summer (8-12 Monday-Thursday) so I will have afternoons and nights available during the week. I also have most weekends free. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.
About: I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life, and cats for half of it. I have taken care of said pets for years and been an in-family pet sitter on numerous occasions. My mother frequently cares for other pets through apps like this/through friends, and I assist her with that when needed. At the moment, I care for my mother's pets when she leaves town for any length of time (1 small/medium dog, 1 cat). Otherwise, I'm a free agent. Some of the services listed on the app have the potential to overlap (such as a visit and a walk), I don't consider the price to be totally compounding, just let me know and we can figure out what works best. I'd imagine this is on a situational basis. I'll pet/feed/walk them and am able to follow directions as well as any human, should your pet require specific, or unique, handling. I can usually read pet body language pretty well, but have no specific training in it. If there are any areas of confusion for me, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure your pet is cared for properly.
“What a wonderful cat sitter. Alexandra is an excellent pet sitter. We have a timid cat, yet she was able to sit on our couch and pett her. She was responsible for giving our cat pills for asthma and never missed the correct days. Our cat Mocha loved Alexandra taking care of her!! Can't say enough!!”
About: I ensure the highest quality care for my own pets, and I will make it my priority to do the same for yours! As long as I can remember I’ve had pets, and they’ve always been a passion of mine. I work full time from home during the week until 5pm! I am able to provide drop in visits in the evenings and then multiple times a day on weekends. I am unable to accept pets in my own home at the moment, however what ever you need done within your own home I will make sure is done correctly and in a timely manner!
“Emily was great! We did a meet and greet before the day of the check-in to make sure Maple (our dog) could warm up and be comfortable with her. She sent us pictures of Maple during the check-in and let us know Maple was behaved on her walk. We will definitely use Emily again when the opportunity presents! Thank you so much Emily!!!”
“Anna is fantastic! She went above and beyond taking care of our cat sushi and making sure he was well taken care of. He took a liking to her straight away. She truly has done a wonderful job. I would recommend Anna to anyone! We have definitely found our new cat sitter!”
“We are very happy with Binti's service. She arrived on time and notified me if delayed. She made time to walk and play with Sebastian. We will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have taken care of a huge variety of animals in my career and I am very good with animals. For a very long time my friends have relied on me to provide the best care for their beloved pets. I am currently working part time and would like to make the pet care service my full time career! I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet and I will do my best to provide the best care possible! Working with large animals my whole career I am extremely diligent about safety for all animals. I will put your pet's safety as a first priority.
“Colleen was great caring for our cat, Buffy. She was quick to respond when I asked to book her, and during her visits, she followed all of our requests re: the mail, the litter box, etc., and we returned to a happy cat and everything nicely taken care of.”
