About: I was raised with dogs of many different breeds and have owned a dog most of my adult life. In more recent years, I have done pet sitting for friends and family, including dogs, cats, chickens and fish. Experienced with younger pets as well as seniors. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give full attention to your pet and housesitting needs. Available for vacations planned well in advance or last minute needs. If you're looking for dependable and trustworthy pet care, I'm your person. I treat your pets and home as if they're mine and communicate clearly and often so you can rest assured everything is going smoothly. As a seasoned veteran, I also take notice of extra details that may need attention or extra care. I often bring my pet loving teenage daughters along so your pets can have some extra loving.

About: I am the friends and family dog sitter! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I could still pet them for hours and not get bored. On average I stay at someone houses for a week while they’re on vacation as well as but not as often a weekend stay. I am great will all breads and sizes of dogs/cats, as well as ages such as senior animals. I personally took are of our 90lb 11 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback after her back legs gave out. So while using a harness I would help her do everything, such as standing up to eat, move around and go outside. I can also do things like trimming nails and bathing them (especially if you unable to do yourself). I truly care and feel for every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently not working full time at the moment and have been doing small jobs here and there such as dog sitting for friends and family. I have a great portion of time for spend getting to know and engaging in your pets. I’m available anytime after 9am. I will care for your pets the way I would care for my own and in such continue their regular and daily routine. Including things such as walking them in the morning/night, playing with them and loving them or any other needed or wanted activities.

“Kerrigan did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties for a week! She was reliable, kind, and interactive with them. She also helped clean up the litter boxes so they were all fresh when I got home. My cats seemed very comfortable.”

“Lauren was very communicative on her drop-ins and spent lots of play time with our puppy. She gave us updates on her energy level and what she played with. She even cleaned up a little puppy accident which was above and beyond in my opinion. Will definitely ask her to sit again!”

About: I can offer specialized care for puppies, seniors, and high-needs pets. My experience started with helping friends and family as both a boarder and pet sitter. Now through Rover, I have worked with many different families and met so many furry friends! I have experience walking many different dogs and feel comfortable walking larger breeds. Growing up surrounded by pets, particularly rescued ones, I've developed a deep connection with animals. I genuinely respect each pet's unique personality, and provide attentive care while respecting their boundaries. I'm working primarily as a pet sitter. I usually have other personal projects I work on during the day so I will leave from time to time, but never for longer than your pet is used to. The rest of the time I'm happy spend however you usually do with your pet. If you have a high needs pet that requires close to 24/7 attention I would love to help, but I will need to ask for additional compensation. Safety and trust are my top priorities when providing personal in-home care for your pet. I will always prioritize your pet's well-being and respect your home. I want to build a genuine bond with your pet to make them comfortable during our time together. I am happy to send you pictures while I'm with your pet!

“Ivana is a punctual and a conscientious sitter and took great care of my dogs and my place. She takes her job seriously, was respectful to me and went above and beyond to care for my dogs. I will definitely use her services again. I am happy to have found her.”

“I reached out to Lindsay on short notice needing someone to watch Goliath (my Husky) and she came through. What impressed me most wasn’t just that she said yes—it’s that she went above and beyond the whole time. Lindsay sent me daily videos and pictures of Goliath, so I could actually see him having a great time instead of just hoping for the best. She kept me in the loop every single day with updates, which made a huge difference when you’re away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care—it shows in how attentive she is. Goliath came back happy and well-exercised, which is exactly what you want. I’m definitely booking her again for my next trip.”

About: I have two cats, Whiteclaw and Miss Dan Campbell. Whiteclaw is on a special diet so, I am used to special meal routines. Dan Campbell lost an eye due to cancer but I was happy to help her heal along the way! I am patient and understand cat body language. I'll always try to play and give some scratches if they allow me too I've also had dogs previously! I do best with smaller/medium size dogs. Whether you want us to take a short walk or a fun job, I'm down. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule so I can do one or multiple visits a day depending on your pets needs! When I do drop in visits, I make sure I know all your preferences, from leaving doors open, lights or TV on. I pay attention to detail to make sure your kitties are as comfy as possible

“Nathaniel was great check in on my cats and made sure they were fed and all good. He was very responsive and nice.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My family treats dogs like they are human children, and your dog would be treated like a prince or princess. I ask that you ensure your dogs are all up to date on vaccinations and neutered/spade. Dogs that are trained off leash will do better at my home since our yard is not fenced in. I am home Friday - Sunday. If I have to leave for any reason, then my husband or adult son or adult daughter are always home. I do not have small children in my home. I have 14 acres of relatively secluded farmland. We throw a ball for our dogs and also walk them along the White Pine Trial each night. If it’s rainy or cold, we go into our indoor arena and let the dogs play and run around. I only accept dogs that are good off-leash because we do not have a fenced in yard.

“Amber has been great with my dog. She is punctual and has been flexible when our schedule changed. Would highly recommend.”
