About: I have had pets of many kinds almost my entire life and many friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets while away. My friend who ran a successful rescue trusts me with her medically complex rescues. I follow whatever instructions are there with special attention paid to any medications that need to be given or other special details. I'm a freelancer that spends too much time sitting while I work. I'm very excited to add more walks into my life and a bit more out of the house time taking care of your furry friends when you need! In your home I will do everything in my power to take good care of your four legged friend. Whether that means medicating them at the right times, chilling on the couch for a bit of snuggling, or playing fetch in the backyard (or living room) until the exciteable animal is a little more chill from getting energy out.

“Very friendly and took great care of my dog!”

“Very grateful to Libby for caring for our cat on house visits while we were away. She jumped in last minute, was super communicative, adapted to our cat’s needs, and clearly won her over immediately. Highly recommend!”

Emma B.

“Brennah was awesome!! She was very attentive to Pacha and came to check on him at a moments notice when my flight was delayed to come home, which I was super grateful for. I greatly appreciate her kindness. I would recommend her to everyone!”

“Heather was amazing!! First time using Rover's services, so I was a little unsure of the process, but Heather was very patient and willing to go the extra mile. Sent photos every day! Will absolutely be asking her to catsit again in the future.”

About: I have joyfully cared for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs over the years. The dogs always get plenty of time outside and playtime. I will gladly send photos of your sweet pup and can also water your plants or take out the trash if you need. I’m happy to help! I’m fairly flexible and can visit a couple times a day if necessary. I’m a mom and the best hours are school hours Monday through Friday. If you need help on the weekend and have no qualms about my husband and kid joining me for a walk, I can show up for you and your fur friends! Our pup has free rein of the house and is fully trained. She has plush seating in every room so she can be near me whichever room I’m in. She gets loads of back scratches and belly rubs. I believe in treating animals with great respect.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, and other animals for friends, family, and neighbors, and I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and loving while also following your pet’s routine and needs closely. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and safe presence, I’m happy to provide care that fits their personality. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m happy to communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and am currently completing my master’s degree online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home often. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day rather than pets being left alone for long periods. When pets stay in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and rest. I know consistency helps pets feel secure, especially when they are away from their owners. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, and affection based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. Whether a pet enjoys being active and playful or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, I adjust my care to meet their needs. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a clean environment, and a safe space to rest. I take safety very seriously and monitor pets closely while they are in my care. I am happy to follow any specific instructions, including medications, crate routines, or special care requests. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away.

“Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!”
