Juliana and Caleb were fantastic! They accommodated our last-minute request without hesitation and took wonderful care of our pup who was recovering from knee surgery. They communicated with us throughout, which gave us such peace of mind during a stressful time. Our dogs clearly adore them, and we couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend!

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs but have a solid 5 years of independent experience (without family) caring for my current long haired cat, Darcy! I currently live with five cats and have past experience with dogs as well! I am very patient and quick at understanding the needs of each pet. Their comfort is most important to me! I have just recently been offered a part time job as a barista! So, I will have plenty of free time to fill! I do not work Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I’d have the full day to be filled! As for the other days of the week I will still have much free time, but I’d have to work around my work schedule no problem! Plus additional days off depending on my schedule. I know the importance of respect, accountability, and responsibility when being a guest in any persons home, so caring for a clients pet in their home would be no different! I am happy to do what is requested of me and not overstepping boundaries!

Kaylee did an amazing job of taking care of my fur family. She was proactive in meeting with me and my cats to make sure I was comfortable and the cats felt comfortable with her. She read my care instructions and asked good questions. She checked in frequently to help put my mind at ease. She was patient with my senior kitties who need lots of attention. She spoiled them with snuggles and movie night! She did a great job and planning on rebooking with her.

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. From laid back seniors to high-energy pups who love to play. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I am very available at the moment. I am currently home from college so I am able to do any type of sitting any day of the week, pretty much all day. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their normal schedule. I also take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they get the level of care, companionship, and activity that is best for them.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of time for any pet care. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.

About: Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats. Experience and Availability Since retiring from the Army, I am available around the clock to care for your beloved pet. With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Commitment to Care I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own, ensuring its safety, comfort, and happiness. Every animal entrusted to me is treated as an extended and respected member of my household. I am a retired Army veteran and parent of a Chihuahua and 2 cats. I am available around the clock to take care of your fur baby as a respected member of my household. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Chihuahua to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. My cats ignore dogs that don't want to play. If your dog dislikes cats, I am able to separate their living areas while your dog is on-site.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for different family members and friends. Your animals would get plenty of attention and love with me. I wake up at 6 am. My week days vary from having class from 9-11 MWF, Tuesday at 2, and Thursday at 11. I live off campus about 3 minutes away, so I can easily check in/take out the pets. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is plenty of grass and a park within walking distance. I am more comfortable walking with a leash unless there is a fenced in yard. My apartment has 1 roommate and plenty of space for dogs/cats to roam or lay down.

About: From pet-sitting duties and caring for my own animals, I have extensive experience caring for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and providing companionship. I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes, ensuring proper dosage and handling for each. I'm a proud graduate of Bloomsburg University with a bachelor's degree in early childhood education. I also enjoy working part-time in the restaurant industry. My schedule is quite flexible as long as I have some prior notice! I'm happy to work with clients to find times that suit us both well. I'll make sure to follow all of your instructions carefully to keep your little buddy happy! Do you have any specific wishes for them? Just let me know! I welcome them on my bed and couch unless you'd prefer otherwise. I always keep the water bowl full and ensure pets are happy and healthy. If you'd like, I can even give them a bath—just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin! If you choose me, I promise to go above and beyond to take great care of your furry friend!

Kerri always does amazing with our girl. She is a timid and nervous dog, but Kerri stayed with her a few days and was so patient. Rose really opened up to her throughout their time together and we could not be more grateful. She always does an amazing job at keeping our house tidy while she stays. She always goes above and beyond!

Jillian was amazing! I was out of town with my wife in outer banks for the week. My dogs got sick while we were gone and my father in law was getting overwhelmed with all the clean up. I had to drive back from outer banks and help take care of things with him for a day and half. Got the dogs under control. Found Jillian on Rover and luckily she was free to take care of them so I can go back to my vacation. My dogs instantly fell in love with her and made them feel safe and loved. She kept us updated on their progress and how they were doing. We will be using Jillian again for future trips. Thank you again Jillian!
