About: I truly love animals and pets and would own every cat I’ve ever seen if I could. I volunteer for Purple Paws and have two cats and one gecko of my own. Over my adult life, I’ve had lots of experience pet sitting for my friends and family. This has included taking care of newborn puppies, letting dogs out, taking dogs for walks, and checking in on cats. I will make sure to give your animals all the love and attention they truly deserve. I currently work full-time from home. I get an hour lunch break everyday and typically wrap my workday around 4:00pm. This leaves me plenty of time to help out during my lunch break, after work, and I could even pop by sometime during my work hours if I don’t have a meeting. My cats at home get treated like royalty. We feed them twice a day and make sure they have plenty of water. We often offer treats to reward good behavior. Our cats get played with and they get to come out on the balcony with us. They are allowed on all furniture, except for the tables and kitchen counter. When I watch other people’s animals, I make sure the animals get their basic needs and more! I love getting to spend some time providing their animals with love and getting to play.

About: I grew up with pets, and have cared for my friends and neighbors pets over the years! I have the most experience with cats and dogs, however I have also cared for other pets like hedgehogs, chickens and snakes! I recently moved to the area and I'm currently taking a sabbatical from my full time job. I have lots of availability! I am available for drop ins and mid day potty/play breaks. I care for pets as if they were my own! I always send pictures to update you throughout my time with your pets. You can trust that they will receive plenty of playtime, affection and cuddles while you are away! Comfortable and familiar with dietary needs, medical needs such as medication administration, or special training you prefer to use.

About: I have loved and enjoyed taking care of animals since I was a little girl, that’s why I decided to become a vet! Yes, I’m an experienced veterinarian who is completing a year of training at K-State💜 and I’m thrilled to offer my expertise in animal care in the Little Apple 🍎 I’ll be more than happy to provide company and the best care to your furry babies, so they feel loved, safe and happy while you’re away. Besides my professional experience, many friends and family members trust me with the care of their pets because they know that to me, this is not just a job, it’s a lifestyle 💖 I also have my own dear babies who I take care of everyday, can you ask for anything more in a pet sitter? I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet sitting support short-notice. Some weeks I work from home so that leaves me plenty of time to go walk, see and keep company to your dog/cat whenever, from the comfort of their own home! We can work with your schedule too and I’ll be happy to adjust according to your and your pets needs. I live with my 2 senior dogs, they’re both rescued and lovely to humans but one of them can be reactive to other animals, that’s why I only offer pet sitting services in your own home. Safety is a top priority for me. I have experience handling all sizes of dogs and cats. I can walk 2-3 dogs at a time and can take care of multiple animals at a time because that’s what I do everyday and I’m so happy and grateful for that. I have experience feeding, administering medications, and of course, even cleaning after pets. I love to take them on walks, play with them, just make them feel loved, safe and happy.

“Jessi does an awesome job walking my pups while I’m at work. She is very dependable and goes above and beyond her normal duties. My pups look forward to seeing her each day!”

About: I have been independently caring for dogs of all sizes for years! Mostly for family friends! I absolutely love animals and would love to get the opportunity to take care of yours! I have experience with cats as well! It’s my priority to make sure your pets (let’s be real they’re family) feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away!! I would prefer to watch your animals in your home so I can best follow your animals’ routine! I am currently a nanny so I have lots of time during the day where I can stop by to let animals outside, play with them, and do whatever else you need! BONUS: if you are comfortable- my nanny kids LOVE animals so extra playmates for your furry friends! I work from 8-3:30 so I could spend the majority of the evening with your animals as well! I am a very thorough sitter, so I will be sure to follow all instructions to a T! Your home will be left in the exact state I found it and your animals are sure to be happy and probably tired!

“Great with communication and super sweet with my pup! Very grateful for all her help these last few weeks!”

About: I have taken care of family pets such as dogs, cats, hamsters, flying squirrels and chameleons. I have 2 spare rooms just for boarding animals. I am currently working a part time job, so the pets would have my full attention for the majority of the day and night times. The pets will have their own room to occupy while they are in my care. They will be able to sleep in that room and they will have ample opportunity to walk around outside on a leash. They will get plenty of exercise and food and water regularly. I will only be away from them for a few hours a day while I’m at my part time job in the evenings.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Everything from horses, rabbits, dogs or cats. I am comfortable with large animals, as I grew up raising them. My love and experience with animals has led us to start my own business alongside my sister. Our pet sitting business has taken off and spread thoughout the county we served. We have taken care of over 150 different pets of all shapes and sizes. This past summer I was awarded State Star in Agribusiness for the quality of care that we serve our clients with and how well the business is ran. Now that I am college I am looking to serve in the Manhattan community with the same quality of pet care. I have taken multiple vet classes and interned in highly regarded vet clinics. This has helped me to back up the previous knowledge I had. At K-State I am minoring in Animal Science where my knowledge is constantly evolving. Please reach out, I would love to see if I would be a good fit for you and your family! As a college student I am able to work around different schedules to make ensure your pet is getting the quality care they need. I have breaks in between classes to do drop in visits. My classes do not start before 9 and are done before 2. I will be able to complete drop-in visits multiple times a day if needed. Housesitting is something I am extremely comfortable with. Please reach out, I would love to make something work for you! I am very experienced with working for all sorts of animals. I have always been worked with large animals and house hold pets and owned my own pet sitting business. We understand the importance of pets in families and would do nothing but provide the best care possible for your animal.

About: Hello. I understand needing someone to sit your fur baby and wanting them well taken care of. I feel the same about my puppy (who isn’t really a puppy anymore but 12 years old) and my cat Loki. I would love to help take care of your fur baby in times of need. This is my first time on rover but I have cat and dog sat for my family and I love animals. I would love the opportunity to help take care of your fur children. I can board or day care for up to 3 cats at a time who will each have their own space and I can board or doggy day care for 1 dog as long as they get along with my dog. I am currently a stay at home mom of a 10 month old baby and I would like to contribute more and what better way then to do something you already love. I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company. Also my doggie grew up with cats so is friendly around cats. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a few dog crates if needed. I have experience giving my dog and cats medications . I also have experience with treating dog wounds. I keep my pets up to date with vaccines and vet visits.

“Crissie was awesome will definitely book with her again for my pup! She came beforehand to meet him and make sure he’d be comfortable and to get to know our routine. She was easily reached and always attentive to my boy’s quirky ways. She sent me lots of updates and gave me quick summaries of their walk. Relieved a lot of stress for me on my 12+ hour shifts! Your pets are in good hands w her”

About: With over a decade of experience caring for and training dogs of all sizes and ages since I was 13, I bring a lifetime of passion to pet care. As a biology and pre-vet student at K-State, I combine academic knowledge with hands-on expertise to ensure your pets receive the best care possible. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I own two dogs, two lizards, and three cats, ensuring each of them receives personalized attention and care. My day begins with feeding, exercise, and playtime for my pets, followed by specific care routines for each species. I am passionate about my love for science and pets. I work hard to make sure I provide a loving and nurturing environment for all my pets. Your pets safety is my top priority. Whether it’s on walks or pet sitting. I will make sure to monitor pets closely and follow directions precisely. I’ve studied animal behavior so I have a good grasp on stress levels. Your pets will be cared for in a secure, loving environment where they can thrive.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for around 11 years now being my own two dogs(one big and one little) and also other dogs and cats around my neighborhood! I love checking in on them, feeding them, and taking them out to play and walk! I am in college but take a lot of online classes so my schedule makes it very easy to do drop ins or take walks during the day! When it comes to safety and trust, having two dogs of my own I understand how important the safety of pets is! I will make sure to do everything to make the dogs feel comfortable and safe in there own home with me there, and also when I leave making sure they feel safe and sound!

About: Personally I have been lucky enough to have three beautiful cats for the past nine years. As a dog sitter I have enjoyed caring for every type of doggie from Yorkies, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Pit Bulls, Bull Dogs, German Shepards, and Boxers. I never met a dog I didn’t love! I have no problem administering basic medical care to animals as I also am a registered nurse for humans 😊 I enjoy caring for dogs in their home to ensure comfort and access to their care needs. I do have a 5 year old son who would occasionally be with me depending on timing of visits as he is in half day preschool. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! Other than taking my kiddo to half day preschool mid day and some therapy appts my schedule is pretty open. We should be able to work something out that works for you and your fur baby. At this time I will only be assisting in your home due to limitations in my own home with our existing animals. I will do everything to respect your space, privacy, and ensure your animals feel loved and cared for.

“Danielle and Joseph are so wonderful with my puppy! They always take the time to talk to my daughter and I before and after walks! Charlee loves that Danielle brings treats and I’m so happy they help with training her!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and all sorts of pets while growing up on a farm. I've also been both an overnight house sitter and dog groomer for a professional dog breeder. I do not currently have dogs with me since I’m a student but I have plenty of long breaks throughout the day as well as non-eventful nights which gives me plenty of time for pet care. Back home, I would do my farm chores and care for my animals twice a day on average but I also like to spend some extra time out there most days. I always like being aware of rules and boundaries, especially when I’m in someone else’s space and would 100% respect the home, including the pets. I also think it’s important to clean up any sort of mess made and to be very open if something were to happen at any point in time.

“Samantha is awesome! She walked my dog Jake for 3 days while I was out of town for a little weekend get away. She is very friendly, reliable and she sent me pictures each day of Jake on his walks. I felt very comfortable and relieved that Jake was getting some exercise and attention while I was away. I will use her services again in the future. Thank you Samantha ?”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals! As a child, I grew up on a small family farm in southeast Kansas where we raised livestock, rode horses, and loved many family pets. For 13 years, I participated in 4-H which included multiple animal projects including showing horses and training and showing dogs, among others. As an adult, I have surrounded myself with pets. Currently, we have a 3-year old Great Dane, an 8-year old Pit Bull mix that we adopted from a local rescue, and a 12-year old Snowshoe Cat. I have a lot of experience with high-need animals. In November 2023, we had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to my dream dog, a 1.5 year old Great Dane, due to heart issues that he developed. While it was tragic, I did learn a tremendous amount and gained a ton of experience through his intensive care. I would love to share my love of animals with you and take care of your pets. Ours truly are part of our family and yours would be treated the same! I have a full time job but currently work from home so our animals are rarely alone. Working from home affords me a ton of flexibility to care for your pet when needed! We have a large, fenced in yard where I can care for your pet along with two dogs and a cat that would love to keep your pet company! I am happy to also drop in to your home if your pet is more comfortable in their own environment. This is how we provided care to our high-needs Great Dane when he was ill so I completely understand the need to keep your pet home when needed if that is where they are comfortable.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to adapt to various needs, whether it’s caring for energetic puppies, providing special attention to senior pets, or handling unique situations with ease. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I prioritize it alongside other responsibilities. Whether it’s daily walks, training sessions, or simply spending quality time with pets, I make sure to tailor my schedule to accommodate each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets, whether in my home or in the client's home, my approach is always centered around their comfort, safety, and well-being. Your pet is my pet when caring for them.
