Pet Sitting Ross Island

About: I get my first dog in 2019 and my second in 2024. I’ve had to administer medications when they have had surgeries. Both of my dogs are nervous so I know how to care for those. I haven’t worked with any other animals but I am willing to learn. I go to school Tuesdays and Thursdays but if needed, I can sit after school after 3pm. I am free every other day and can start boarding Thursday afternoon until Monday night or Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday night. I live in an apartment but I can still walk your dog outside where there’s grass. I do also have a dog who is getting used to other dogs but he is not a fighter. I can also cage one or the other easily if needed. If pet needs to be fed, you must provide the food. I can provide water of course.

About: I work from home 8-5, M-F. Availability is flexible but can shift by the week if commitments come up. I’ve had animals in my life as long as I can remember and love taking care of them. I’ve been lucky to be a parent to both dogs and cats and have years of experience meeting the needs of pets (while also giving them lots of love and attention). I live near South Waterfront and right outside my door is a walking path that’s perfect for long dog walks by the river but also leads to many parks and dog parks. My services include walking (in your neighborhood or mine), house sitting, and drop-in visits. My schedule is flexible and can likely accommodate yours. I will bring a positive, patient presence to your pet and like to let them set the pace for how quickly we get comfortable with each other. I’m happy to give photo updates as I know how the peace of mind check-ins can make. I currently work remotely full time which allows flexibility to care for your pets. I can pop over for walks, check-ins and/or house sit as needed depending on times, date, location. I work hard to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of your pet. Whether cat or dog, I will feed, water, and provide care according to your preferences. For dog walking in my neighborhood, your pet will have river trail access and close to several green spaces just outside my front door.

“Kai was great with communication and understood the needs of my pup immediately! They were able to help with a short notice request and went above my expectations!”

About: Hi! I’m Sarah. I’m new to Rover and currently taking a break from my role as an Event Director. I thought there couldn’t be a better way to spend this time than giving some extra love and attention to dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life and have missed having one around every day. My first dog was a Dalmatian, and later I had a Bichon Poodle who completely stole my heart. While I’m not in a place to have a dog of my own full time right now, I finally have the time, flexibility, and space to care for yours as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, cuddles, or just a caring companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your best friend with, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. A little about me outside of dogs: I love Disney, art, dance, design, great music, the beach, spending time in nature, and finding little moments of joy in everyday life. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I’m currently taking a break from my full time role as an Event Director, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop in visit, or some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and am happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your routines, feeding schedule, exercise preferences, and any special instructions to help your pet feel at ease. I’m attentive, reliable, and believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

“When I return from my trip, my kitties are always happy and healthy! During the trip, great communication and cute photos to let me know how it’s going!”

“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”

About: Hello! I go by Jen. I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 9 years, including young, senior, and special-needs. I’m reliable, flexible, & understanding that all animals have different needs in order to feel safe and happy while owners are away. My part-time job early in the AM gives me flexibility to meet clients’ schedules and accommodate animals’ needs for check ins, walks or overnight care. I offer dog walking, drop-ins, and overnight care in your home, providing attentive, personalized care. For your pet’s safety, I reccomend providing emergency contacts and your veterinarian’s information.

“Othello has had a really rough transition this month and especially sad and he was immediately comfortable with Carmen. She was extremely communicative and responsive.”

“We were so nervous about leaving our brand new puppy home for the first time while we went back to work. Megan came twice to feed and play with our two pups and was amazing and very communicative. Definitely recommend!”

Madeline M.

“Susan helped me out when an emergency came up and I had to suddenly extend my trip. She was so awesome with my cats and an even more awesome person for helping out in a really stressful time! We hadn’t even had the opportunity to do a meet and greet and she jumped in to save the day! Truly I can’t thank you enough!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own two cats since 2020 and sat my friends’ dogs occasionally! I love animals and my sister-in-law is a vet! My schedule changes week to week! Normally I can sit during the evenings, sometimes I could do days as well. I’m usually free on weekends! We live in a townhouse with two cats. I could come to your place to provide care for your fur babies. We also have space in our house to keep your cats.

“Karly does an awesome job keeping our new puppy entertained while we’re at work. She also takes photos and provides great feedback after each visit!”

About: I've grown up caring for dogs, cats, and even lizards... giraffes are still on my bucket list! 😄 I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll keep you updated every step of the way with messages and photos, ensuring you always know your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for. Right now I’m only working part time, so my schedule is very open. That allows me to spend more time with pets, keep a consistent routine, and make sure they’re always cared for in a reliable and responsible way. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I stay attentive, respectful of the home, and make sure each pet gets the same care and comfort they’re used to.

“Ann was great! Flexible, communicative, took cute pics of our kitties :), and came twice a day to hang out with them. Kept an extra eye on one who was just over a urinary blockage. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I've cared for pets for years. I'm happy to treat your pets with the love they deserve. I'm ready to spend time with your loved ones through walks, playtime and general visits. I'm happy to provide you with check ins. I have plenty of time to care for your pets. My schedule is flexible and I'm open to working with you to find a helpful time to provide care. I'm able to visit dogs in their environment and happy to take them to familiar places or someplace new. I want clients and their loved ones to feel comfortable in my care.

“Clara is great at communicating in advance when there are schedule conflicts (which have been minimal) and in being flexible when things are different for our schedule. And she loves our pup as much as we do.”

Rebecca M.

“This was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter, so I was a little nervous at first — but Kathy immediately put me at ease! She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. My pups were relaxed and enjoyed their time with her. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which really helped me relax while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — thank you, Kathy!”

Laura C.

“Lucas was very attentive and so sweet to our old kitty. Our cat sometimes decides he won’t use his litter box and Lucas handled it with grace and total rockstar. Beau also can be picky who he likes but warmed up to Lucas right away!! We will absolutely be booking Lucas again. Highly recommend!”

About: I recently restarted providing pet services. Most of my experience is with small and medium dogs, especially seniors who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once, provided daily walks, and made sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. While I don’t have direct experience with cats yet, I’m very open to learning and eager to provide them with the same level of care. I’m also new to house sitting, but I’m highly responsible, follow directions carefully, and will always treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. I do have a full time hybrid job, we can discuss a schedule if needed. I do come with a little senior, blind sidekick. He is very mild manner and chill but can not be left alone and therefore, we are a package deal. If this works for you please reach out. Familiarize myself with your home, your pets needs any instructions left and ask questions if I’m not sure, So I can provide the best care.

About: All my life I have been around pets. I’m currently a proud parent of 2 cats. Even the shyest of animals warm up to me very quickly. I am experienced with sitting all types of dogs from German Shepherds to Pomeranians. I have even more experience with cats. I don’t have any human children, as a result all of my discipline and care is reserved for my furry friends. Over the years I have learned how to bring out the best in your pet. I can typically shut down any unwanted behavior. I also love to play with pets because it’s important to keep them active. The only service I can’t provide is sitting at my home due to the cats. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
