“Emily was great! This was the first time I booked with her, and will definitely use her again in the future. She was very responsive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was there with my fur babes.”

About: I've taken care of animals for years, people even bring me their animals to take in when they can't have them anymore, I've been labeled as a humane society by landlords and others. I have also fostered animals, many of times till they found a right home. I believe animals are to be trusted more than humans. I'm free most of the time to watch your babies, I'm pretty flexible on times and schedules, I work from home but Ill always have time for your babies I am able to come to your house and watch your lovely babies, I had plenty of my own that I have trained and loved.

About: Raised with dogs, obsessed with dogs, and happiest around dogs. I'll give your pup the same love, care, and attention I'd give my own. 🐾❤️ I'm available on select weekdays for short walks or quick drop-in visits during the day. After 5 PM on weekdays, I'm available for longer walks and extended visits. My weekend schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of needs for your pup! I'm available to take your pup on a short stroll or a long adventure—whatever they prefer! I'm also happy to play fetch, provide plenty of attention, or simply keep them company. 🐾
“Trista was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends (and other critters). She was communicative, flexible, and punctual throughout the entire process. We will definitely be reaching out to her to book again.”

About: I've always loved animals but didn't have the space to care for one of my own, until recently, so my interactions have mostly been through other's animals. In high school I was an animal science major and volunteered at doggy daycares. Then in college I studied basic canine care and training where I got experience in training different dogs. Now I have my own puppies, 2 2 year olds and a 1 year old, so more experience everyday! Currently in between employments and looking for something to keep me occupied that would benefit others as well. So available anytime that would be convenient for you! I have decent space for my pups and have my own precautions. I will prioritize the safety and wellbeing of your fur baby as if they're my own, so I assure you that I will follow any and all instructions given to me by you.
“Thank you for keeping me updated during your visits. We appreciate the time you took for the meet and greet, and for your warm and friendly demeanor towards Chief. You were so responsive to our questions and messages 😁”

“l was at first very nervous about hiring a cat sitter for my two cats that I had not met before I was leaving for vacation. But Tyler came to my house the day I was leaving to meet me and my two cats. He was very friendly, paid close attention to the directions I was giving and seemed very interested in doing a good job for my guys. And he did. I was very pleased with the care he gave my pets and will hire him again that's for sure”

I currently have an almost 5 years old Australian cattle dog (very friendly w/ other dogs) and also live on a hobby farm.

About: I have taken care of various animals since I was a young girl. I was born and raised on a dairy farm in upstate NY where I have helped train and raised many different kinds of animals including horses, cows, dogs, pigs, bunnies, cats, goats, and more. Neighbors friends family have all relied on me to feed bathe and walk their most precious animals without any problems. I am a stay at home mom & and care for animals as my full time job. I spend most of my time at home other than going to the store or my kids games for school. I am able to give your fur baby the best care possible to ensure they are appropriately cared for and loved as they should be through out their stay at my home. My first priority is keeping your fury friend safe and then they will be also be happy. I want your pet to feel at home when they are at my house. Depending on the service you request and the need for your specific animal this will vary. Each animal will have it's own individualized plan agreed upon with the animals owner.
About: I am genuine 'Cat Person'. I have always adored kitties, and they can recognize it too. (As every cat person knows) I have had probably 30 cats (more if I count litters of kittens, of which I frequently kept 1) over my lifetime, usually at least 2 or 3 at the same time, and up to as many as 6. But since my last best friend passed away several years ago, where I've lived since wasn't safe for kitties for one reason or another, so I haven't been able to have any for far too long. And I miss them more than words can say. So, I'm looking to meet some new feline friends to give my attention and affection to here on Rover! And I will love your kitties too, and give them the same loving kindness, attention and tender care ~ and be a new playmate for them if they want to ~ just as if they were my very own. I just really love cats, every one of them I've ever met. I look forward to meeting yours too! ❤️ Since I've retired, other than watching my precious grand daughter for her mommy and daddy, my time is really all my own. So spending as much time as they need me too with your beloved kitties will never be an issue. Everything that cats require for their care and attention, cleaning liter boxes as well as food and water bowls as needed. Brushing their fur (but only if they want me to of course), lots of petting and giving them all the attention and affection they could possibly want. Which I'll love doing too!
About: I have had dogs in my home since I was a small child. I also have been through several advanced training cycles with my own dog, Maple. I am available most any time of day for walking services and drop ins. I will also walk my own dog with yours if you would like for companionship and socialization. She is a great role model for walking. My dog is my whole world and I will treat yours as my own! Their happiness and safety will my top priority the entire time they are with me.
About: Experienced Dog mom. Dog is God spelled backwards. Which is probably why I love dogs more than I do people. It’s been this way since I was a kid. A dog love and bond is just different. I have a 3 year old daughter who love Dogs as much as I do. She wants to pet every dog she sees. Dogs must be friendly with children, or I cannot be of service. Self employed so I’m home most of time. Free to be a companion to a lovable fur friend. While pet parents work or go on vacation I have a back porch deck with yard space. I am also close to a park where we can go play and let out some energy
