About: What sets me apart from other sitters isn’t just my love for animals—it’s a lifetime of real, hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve grown up owning 10+ pets of all kinds and sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large Great Pyrenees, learning firsthand the responsibility, patience, and attention each one requires. Beyond simply loving animals, I understand the day-to-day commitment of feeding, training, exercising, and nurturing them. This deep, lifelong experience allows me to anticipate their needs, respect their personalities, and provide care that goes beyond basic supervision—making pets feel safe, happy, and truly cared for. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I manage my time around my part-time work and classes, leaving me mostly available throughout the week. I’m flexible and can adapt to pets’ schedules, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving them attention and companionship. Having grown up with many animals, I naturally integrate care into my day, making sure their needs are met consistently while balancing my responsibilities as a student and worker. This flexibility allows me to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care every day. I provide personalized care for pets in their own homes, tailoring my approach to each animal’s needs and routines. I follow the family’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs, while keeping their environment safe, clean, and comforting. Whether it’s administering medications, maintaining routines, or simply giving love and companionship, my goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for—just as they would with their owners.

About: Thank you for reviewing my profile! I am unable to edit, but my preferred name is Astro. I am a 23-year-old ag-business student with a minor in animal science. I am unavailable from 8a-12pm on weekdays, but I am available at any other time to take care of any pets you may have. I have a passion for animals because I enjoy giving them love, just as they give love back to us. This June 2026, I have cared for my former professor's 2 dogs, cat, and goat for two different weeks. I will be housesitting for her this June 21-28, so I will only have availability for walks and drop-ins at this time. I make sure to give all animals extra love while their owners are away. If no walks are bought for housesits, I will give one walk per stay, and if my schedule allows, I'll provide additional. I am comfortable with farm animals as well, if you need care and feeding for them. My pet background: I have 2 years of experience as a kennel attendant: sanitizing kennels, taking dogs for walks, feeding, and medicating both dogs and cats. I also have a few months of experience as a vet assistant: restraining animals for vaccines and nail trims. I currently have a 5-year-old chihuahua and a 4-year-old domestic shorthair cat. My chihuahua has seizures and requires a specific feeding and medication schedule, so I can easily adapt to your pets if they have additional needs. Since I was 12, I would adopt rabbits from the flea market and take care of them until I was in high school. I adopted my chihuahua as a one-month-old in 2020, and have been taking care of her ever since. My passion for animals led me to earn my AA in Animal Science, and expanded my interest in caring for farm animals as well. Animals make me happy, and after my kennel attendant job ended, I decided to try Rover out to continue working in the field I enjoy! June 21-28 I am booked for housesittng, but available for drop-ins and walks. My earliest availability starts 1:30pm on Monday thru Thursdays as I work 8a-12p. Fridays I work 10a-2/6pm so I can drop in before 9a or after 2/6pm. House-Sitting information: I am unavailable to provide services in my home, but I am available for house-sitting in your home on weekends. I have taken care of my former professor's 2 dogs in her home while she has been away a week + weekends, along with her two outside pets of a cat and goat. On weekdays, I can house-sit, but I will be in and out for personal, child, or pet errands. I'd like to note that on weekends, I will need to feed and give potty breaks for my own pets at home, but will return to your pets once finished. In my client's home, I treat it with the same respect as I would in my own home. I also make sure to keep it clean and organized as the owner has left it. I don't wish to make my client's uncomfortable, so I will make sure to ask before doing anything that wasn't previously discussed. For house-sitting, I provide basic cleaning before leaving your home (sweeping and mopping the floors).

Kirsten is always professional, reliable, and kind. She never hesitates to communicate and ask questions if necessary. We have used her before for housesitting and this visit was drop in only. As always, she was wonderful and we know this because our dogs don't even get up when we get home. They're so chill after she leaves. It's a blessing to have her and feel that our pups are happy with her.

About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life with some that are from friends or family. I give what the pet need to feel loved, safe, fed, comfortable. I love pet sitting young to senior dogs. The pet care would fit in daily in my routine from when I wake up to when I go to sleep so like 24 hours. I make pets feel safe by doing things to make them feel safe protecting them from harm way, getting them to trust me to help them when they need it.

She was very good with my car who just got out a surgery. She checked for wounds and sent me pictures and made sure she was safe and happy. I would hire her back if I had a need for more pet care in the future. ?

Taylor and Brian were lovely and did daily drop ins with my two cats. They spent plenty of time loving and playing with the cats. I got daily updates on how the cats were fairing and anything that seemed amiss. I definitely trust them with invested and true caring of pets.

About: I was raised in a home with many pets, which has taught me a lot about how to responsibly and lovingly care for many types of animals. I am a current student, so I am available most of the time until October. June and July I will be busy during most weekdays for a volunteer program, but weekends are open!! August and September weekdays and weekends work for me. I believe that communication is key for understanding and creating a respectful and caring environment for each pet. I’m excited to talk with you and get to know the specific needs of your animals.

About: Ever since I remember, I’ve been around animals. As young as four years old, I would help my grandparents around the ranch, taking care of cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. In the last two years of school, we ran a dog washing business out of my vet class where we would wash brush blow dry and care for the dogs. I myself own seven dogs, five cats and three lizards I am currently a recent high school graduate, college athlete and I am looking for a job to help me start my new stage in life, where I am studying to become a veterinarian I have a fence in backyard, which is about a Half acre. All my dogs are friendly. They range from a Great Dane to a Dachshund

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm senior pets, ensuring each one feels safe, loved, and well cared for. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its unique routine, quirks, and comfort needs, and I tailor my care to meet each individual's specific needs. I’m also comfortable administering medication, adhering to particular feeding schedules, and ensuring your pet receives plenty of exercise and affection while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship, I’m here to give your pet the care they deserve. As a college student with a part-time job, I’ve learned to manage my time well, and pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I’m mostly available in the evenings, especially between 5:00 and 8:00 PM, but depending on the day, I may also be available in the mornings or afternoons. I’m flexible when possible, and I always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. For more specific availability, feel free to contact me directly. I'd be happy to work out something that fits both our schedules. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or a client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I ensure pets are in a calm, secure environment where they feel comfortable and well cared for. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medication, or maintaining routines your pet knows and loves.
