“We couldn’t be happier with the care Rachel provided for our dogs, June and Ziggy! She watched them on two separate occasions while we were on vacation, and each time, we came home to happy, well-cared-for pups. Our chihuahua is hesitant with new people but Rachel was able to quickly build a connection. Rachel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in great hands. She was reliable, attentive, and truly cared for our pets as if they were her own. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”

About: By taking care of family pets while on vacation, I’ve gained experience in feeding, walking, and providing individualized care as needed to babies and adults. As of now I am available weekends and weekday mornings, as I am currently working part time. I will make time to watch your animals. I will generally have a calm, friendly basic approach to taking care of your pet and follow your lead as far as schedules/ cares go.
“Julie was great and very helpful. She took excellent care of my dogs and we are very grateful for her help. Also we appreciated her flexibility with our last minute booking.”

“We got our dog the same week that we had Kylie complete mid day check ins and I truthfully don’t think we would have survived the week otherwise! Willy felt so comfortable with her which is more than we could have asked. Expectations were met and exceeded!”

“Jenifer was so awesome! She took great care with our 2 cats for the weekend while we were away. She was really thorough about learning how to care for them and we felt so confident for our first time using rover. We’re really pleased!”

“Susan has been extremely helpful with helping to care for our dogs. They love her and we appreciate the help, updates and pictures. We will continue to work with her and would definitely recommend her!”

“Luke is awesome! I would highly recommend him! We have two dogs, one with special needs (she is 2 yrs old and completely blind). He is prompt to respond, communicates well, shares pictures from his visits and takes great care of both of them! Super happy we found him to help us out!”

I’m currently available for drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting. I’m comfortable with medical needs and senior pets. Let’s give your pet the "five-star" treatment they deserve! Pet care isn’t just a job for me—it’s the heartbeat of my daily routine. I integrate your pet’s needs seamlessly into a structured schedule of feeding, exercise, and enrichment. My goal is to maintain the consistency they crave, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and perfectly pampered while you’re away. I use my background in Anthrozoology to ensure every routine I build supports your pet’s specific behavioral and physical needs Your home is their sanctuary, and I treat it with the reverence it deserves.

About: Growing up I always had animals (dogs, hamsters, a guinea pig, a turtle, a cat, sugar gliders) and can’t imagine my life without animals. I adopted my pup right out of college, I know that sometimes it takes a village raising & caring for pets! I love dogs of all breeds, shapes & sizes ❤️ I have dog &cat sat for family members & love doing so! I’m happiest around animals. I’ve walked, played, fed, bathed, and have given medicine to dogs and am comfortable doing so. I promise to send cute pics of them too! I work very part time in the summers which gives me plenty of availability to stop by and love, play with, and/or walk your pet!! I will ensure your pet has food/water, is left where you’d want them (in a certain room, crate, etc), and any other specifics you need or want before I leave! Growing up around animals and having 2 rescues myself I understand that some animals need extra time to warm up &/or certain things (covered crate, routine, medicine, etc.) to help them feel safe and comfortable. I will work with you and try my best to ensure that your pet has whatever he/she needs to feel safe and comfortable!
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family's pets since I was young. Recently I have been pet sitting as many dogs and kitties as I can. I’m very adaptable and adore animals. I dance part time, on Monday’s 3-9, Tuesdays 7-9, and Thursdays 3-7. Other than that my time is completely flexible for pet sitting. I’m very tidy and will always leave the house better than I found it! I’m also good with cleaning up puppy/kitty accidents.
About: To be completely honest, I was afraid of dogs when I was a child. But since my family got our puppy in 2015, my love of dogs has skyrocketed. Now when I see a dog, I have this intuition to pet them, with permission of course. So with my care, there will always be love in the air! A little fun fact about me is that I love to go for walks. So watch out furry friends, the feeling of being worn out is coming your way! I am a full-time student, however, I do have time during the day on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays to hang around with your furry friends! My time range is from 11-3:30. Or perhaps you’re stuck at work late in the night, and your dog or cat has been crossing their legs to use the bathroom, and I am more than welcome to stop by and take them outside any night of the week (after 6 pm)! Just like people, your animal should have food, water, and exercise. I will take your dogs and/or cats on walks and make sure their dishes are filled with water. And give them lots of pets as well, because what animal doesn’t like a little love?
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”

“Katie was great sitting for our two pups! She went above and beyond taking them for walks and giving extra love. She was timely in her visits and even helped us with bringing in packages that arrived. I loved getting pictures and updates at each visit via the Rover app. I definitely recommend Katie for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.
