About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets and have always been surrounded by animals. We currently have 3 large dogs, rats, guinea pigs, a hamster, a crested gecko, and parrots, so I’m experienced with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I work in the school district, which gives me a very flexible schedule and lots of availability during the summer months. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. One of my biggest dreams is to eventually open a senior dog sanctuary because senior dogs hold such a special place in my heart! I currently work full time in the school district and have summers off. During the summer I am available at any time. :) During the school year weekends are best, but I can do afternoon & evening visits. I will follow any instructions you have for your fur babies. I understand all pets have different needs and wants. Any communication about needs or wants for your baby will be taken care of.
“Abigail is a life savor and I really do appreciate her services. With no hesitations of meeting her she immediately knew what to do and give suggestions when we did our meet and greet with my precious prince Bleu! Thank you so much and I Highly Highly Recommend her to the fullest!! Thank you again Abigail. Will use your services again in the future❤️”
“Sean took excellent care of our cat! He had great communication and I could tell Blitz was well taken care of. I knew that Sean was patient and kind because our skittish cat was sitting in his lap and asking to be picked up after only a few visits! I would definitely hire Sean again to look after our cat!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful!! She helped me out on short notice. She was so positive and excited to play with my pups. She provided great communication and lots of pictures! I have a wide variety of dogs- different sizes, breeds and ages! She was great with all of them! I had no worries while they were in her care! I highly recommend her and I will certainly use her again!!”
About: Family, friends, and clients have been trusting me with their fur babies for over 15 years! I treat each animal as if they were my own, dedicating personalized care and time. I have experience in a spectrum of pet care from puppies to seniors and special needs. I look forward to caring for you and your loved pets. I am a recent veteran after serving 13 years of Active Duty Air Force, I am grateful and excited to have the newfound availability to care for my community and their fur babies. You and your pets will have peace of mind knowing I take pride in respecting your space and family as my own. All routines, boundaries, and rules will be followed as if you were home.
“Kelsey was so good with our cats. Lollipop is wary of strangers but I think she warmed up to Kelsey after the first day or so. I think our cats are more comfortable in our home when we travel and I felt like they were in good hands during our time away.”
“Kayla was very attentive to our fur babies. She came by the house around the same time every day, played and loved on the kitties. She did a great job giving us daily updates and leaving them full of treats. Will be booking with Kayla again!”
“Sam was a fantastic sitter!! She came for drop in visits twice a day and was prompt, friendly, and communicative! Sam sent lots of pictures of the animals and asked questions as needed to ensure our cat and dog had the best possible care. We felt safe leaving our pets in her care and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our two dogs and cat. She listened to instructions, provided lots of photos with every visit, and gave us very thorough update on all of their activities during the day. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for the pets for years now and I always love getting to know the inside personalities of your furry friends! I’m currently living with my parents while I’m on break from college and working a few odd jobs here and there to make extra money, so I have a very adjustable schedule that allows for plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced in back yard and a pretty spacious house. I do have a dog who loves other dogs so they can certainly play together if applicable. My two cats would largely just ignore/avoid animals they aren’t familiar with. In your home I can adjust to whatever your pet’s individual needs are.
“Dominic is very reliable and took care of our pet as if it was her very own. We really appreciate you for taking care of Bella while we were away and look forward to booking with you again very soon.”
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life, dogs and cats alike. I grew up taking care of the pets of neighbors and friends all the time, getting to know all sorts of furry guys and gals ❤️ I have lots of free time after school, so I can give your pets all of the love and attention they deserve in the afternoons. Open communication with you about your pets will allow us to always be on the same page. Growing up with pets, my parents always taught me how to be responsible with our dogs and cats, and how to properly take care of them.
About: What sets me apart is my natural connection with animals, patience, and ability to make pets feel safe and comfortable quickly. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, stay calm under pressure, and provide reliable, attentive care. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like family. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m available through the day Monday and Saturday, Tuesday after 5:30 PM, and Wednesday through Friday after 4 PM. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different schedules to make sure pets get the care, attention, and exercise they need. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and giving them plenty of attention and reassurance. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax, play, and feel treated like family. I always pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort to make sure each pet feels happy and cared for.
Pontiac cat parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was stellar while I was away on vacation! She provided detailed and thorough reviews on how the cats were doing while I was away and I greatly appreciated everything she was able to do while I was away. I loved the pictures too! Even the tortie in the house seemed to come around to her. I would definitely book with Sarah again for the drop ins I’ll need. Thank you again, Sarah!
