About: I've rescued all over 50 dogs, have years of pet-sitting experience and love animals of all shapes and sizes! Even skittish pets trust me perhaps because I have a calm personality. I have retired after working at Riverview Medical center for 25 years so I have lots of time to spend with your pet family! I am available most days and/or evenings. I will follow your instructions to the letter- you know what is best for your pet. I will sit with them, feed them, play with them, walk them, administer medicine and/or treats or do whatever is needed to keep them healthy and happy!

“Max did an hour walk with Trey today. Completely a last minute request and he made himself available. Very much appreciated!!! Trey loved Max immediately and was a great walk for him. Would highly recommend Max.”

“I’m so glad I booked Wendy for drop-in visits with my cat while I was away for 5 days. She not only kept him fed, watered, gave meds and scooped the box, she also gave him plenty of cuddles and love. It was great having that peace of mind knowing my sweet boy was in excellent hands back home. Thank you so much!”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers my name is Nikki. I am a self employed children's chess instructor who has spent years managing programs and caring for children and animals. I bring a high level of professionalism, responsibility, and attention to every pet I care for. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. My goal is to make that process as easy as possible for both you and your beloved pet. I am highly attentive to each pets individual needs, whether that means maintaining a structured routine or providing extra reassurance. Spoiling your pet is guaranteed. I don't take a one size fits all approach. Each pet receives individual care based on their personality, energy level, and routine. They deserve it! With me you will receive: *Clear and consistent communication from start to finish. *Multiple updates with photos and videos so you always know how your sweetheart is doing. *Respect for your home, your time, and your pets needs. I am obsessive about keeping your home clean and staying only in the areas designated for your pets care. *Someone who will love and care for your pet as much as you do. *A sweet 9 year old playmate named Reina who is up to date on all vaccinations. Will also be groomed before any sit. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. My love of other peoples pets prompted them to begin to ask me to start dog and cat-sitting. People who are very wary of strangers in their homes have trusted me and were able to take a much needed vacation. I am so happy to be able to fufill this role. Please read the testimonials for more details about the individual pets I have cared for over the years. I am new to Rover, however I have been doing this for a very long time. I only take a limited amount of clients so can can provide the high level of care and attention your pet deserves. If you are looking for a trusted, dependable sitter I am confident you will be happy with the care I provide. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a meet and greet. I have a very flexible schedule (afternoons and evenings are ideal) Since I do not work a 9-5 I am confident we can arrange the time you need sitting. I am only a drop in and stay over sitter. I will leave your home exactly as it was and spoil your dog or cat. You will receive updates via text, email, facetime. Just let me know what your need!

“Christen was flexible/accommodating when the timing of our plans changes slightly. She was communicative with updates during her visits and our dog was clearly well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Christen. She was completely calm/at ease when we returned home. We'd definitely have Christen back to look after Claire again.”

Rosela M.

“Nick did 3 drop-in visits to take care of our 2 cats while we were away for the week. He followed our instructions to a T and left the house very clean - we didn’t even see any stray litter on the floors when we got back. Nick seemed very caring with the cats and took the time to pet and get to know each of them. Even our 1 shy cat was comfortable with him. He even offered to water our plants and take in our mail and delivered packages while we were away. We will definitely use Nick in the future and would recommend him to anyone.”

About: Grew up with multiple dogs, all various breeds and ages. Volunteer at local shelter. Raised with a german shepherd who needed additional owner experience and behavioral support. Cared for our adult rescue lab mix into senior years. Lover of all animals and have enjoyed spending time with my friend’s and family’s cats! I work hybrid so I’m regularly available for check ins, walks, social time, and overnight visits! I have reliable transportation and can easily schedule visits during my work day when remote. I’m extremely patient, kind, and nurturing. I’m attentive to pets needs and the needs of the home. I will leave the home better than I found it and take special time to bond with your pets.

About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!

About: Supplementing my childhood dog by taking care of strangers pets! If the best part of a dog’s day is dinner time or their walk I am glad I get to be the one who gives it to them :) I’m currently doing school online so I have plenty of time to spend with pets and love to have their company while I work too! It leaves me with pretty much entirely open availability have lots of experience caring for and playing with tons of dogs! The best method is playing so much that they’re too tired to get into any trouble lol!

About: I have over 10 years of experience taking care of high maintenance and loving animals. I cannot wait to meet your favorite member of your family! I am currently working mostly remote and my schedule is very flexible. I am a very active person so I am looking for a companion to accompany me on my walks. I will treat your pet like it is my own (with lots of love). Please inform me of any medical, safety, or any other concerns.

About: I have extensive experience at an animal shelter, where I was tasked with walking and helping train dogs of all different sizes and behavioral patterns. I have also done overnight stays with dogs, ensuring these fur babies are being taken care of while their owners are away! I am currently working a part time library job about four days out of the week and am looking to make time for dog walking/sitting in between those days! Caring for pets in my client’s home means slowly introducing myself to their space so they know I can be welcomed and trusted in their environment! This means acclimating myself to their space and following their behaviors based on boundaries.
