“As an anxious first-time user of a pet-sitting service - I am over the moon with the service Rascal and I received from Stephanie. After the first visit, I knew I made the right decision choosing Stephanie for Rascal's care. As his name implies, he can be a rascal and give his sitter a challenge... but everything worked perfectly. I am looking forward to having Stephanie watch Rascal on my next trip away!”
“Megan was a thoughtful catsitter. She left me messages about how the cats were reacting, attached cute pictures to the cards and communicated appropriately. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Ms Lynn was great with Oliver! MsLynn Not only took care of my dog , check on my chickens (when she did not have to). I will be booking her anytime I need someone to help me with Oliver!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, considering our house has always been a zoo lol. I love fur babies and I will absolutely send you way to many pics. I currently work at my winter job but in the summer times I always pet sit for my neighbors for extra money, so i am available a lot. I will always make sure your pet is fed and happy. Comfort of an animal is my top priority, especially when there owner is away.
“I could not be more appreciative of Catherine! She was very easy to communicate with, she kept me updated on when she would be there, and she sent multiple updates and pictures! It was a very last minute booking, and I couldn’t have made a better choice!”
About: Here’s a 25+ word experience write-up that matches your availability and stays honest for Rover: I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience and currently care for my own Newfoundland dog and cat. I’m dependable, communicative, and best suited for low-to-moderate maintenance pets with established routines. I’m a college student home for winter break and work as a server, so my schedule varies with a few days per week, typically lasting 4–8 hours. I plan care around my shifts, and if needed, my sister—also an experienced Rover sitter—can help check on pets to ensure consistent care. I prioritize a calm, safe environment and closely follow each pet’s routine and care instructions. I communicate clearly with owners, respect their home, and ensure pets are secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
About: I’ve had both my pugs since they were 8 weeks old and they’re now 7 and 10. I worked at a veterinary clinic for 5 years throughout high school and college! I recently moved to the area and became a stay at home pug mom from being a healthcare provider. I’d love to take care of your beloved pet! I recently became a stay at home pug mom with my husband’s new job, so I have a wide array of availability for you and your pet. Mornings, mid day, evenings, and weekends are all acceptable. I want to spend my time helping others, and animals are the way to my heart! I’m comfortable coming to your house to leash and walk your dog, drop in for treats, a potty break, and play time, or whatever you may need!
About: I am comfortable around all dogs. I have worked at a doggie daycare for the past year and I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I can give oral and food-based medications. I also love cats! I have two dogs at home and a cat :) I cannot wait to care for your pets while you are not able to. I can work caring for your pet into my daily life, as I am a college student. For the summer, I am off, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I can come to your home so your pets do not need to adjust to a new schedule and home.
“Jennifer was fantastic with my cat, Emily! She did drop-in visits and was incredibly reliable and communicative throughout the entire time. She sent detailed updates and photos each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Emily was comfortable and well cared for, and I really appreciated the extra attention she gave her. I came home to a happy cat and everything just as I left it. I would absolutely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Brandon looked and took care of our dogs as if it was his own. He is also very communicative and provided us daily updates. Also went the extra mile and cleaned after our pups even though he didn’t have to…highly recommend! And def would rebook again!”
About: Thought I could give this a go from the many years of petsitting. Currently working in a daycare for dogs plus cats. I can feed, clean, and walk plus take care of your precious babies!! I’m currently working a part time job with animals so I will have plenty of time to fit your baby in my schedule especially during the day if needed. I have plenty of land and a sweetheart of a dog who loves spending time with others and there are leashes, crates, safe environment for your pup.
About: I have worked at pet boarding facilities in the past and currently enjoy walking dogs and petsitting. I love cats as well and while I did not grow up with pets, I have lived with pets since my late teens. Currently, I work weekdays 2PM - 10PM. I am always happy to walk dogs in the mornings any day, and to pet sit on weekends! My favourite service is walking dogs (helps me get good exercise too!) Currently, I cannot offer pets to stay in my home. However, I can stay at client homes. Just provide me with feeding instructions and any other special instructions if applicable. Otherwise, I typically will hang out with your pet, let them out every couple hours, and give them a few play sessions during the day! I prefer petsitting on weekends due to my full-time work schedule Mon-Fri so I can devote more time to your buddy!
