Kristy is fantastic! Whenever she visits our two cats she gives us detailed updates, pictures and is overall so kind! I feel so at ease knowing she is there taking care of them and understands any concerns I may have. My two shy cats who do not come out for any guests, come out and come close when she is with them!

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!

Wendy makes you feel so comfortable, she is great with communication and I couldn’t be happier that she was the one who took care of our cats for us while we were away. I’d definitely call her again and recommend her!

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!

About: I'm Michael, your premier local dog walker! Serving the local Two Rivers area and adjacent towns, I provide both dog walking and pet drop in visits that can be scheduled on a consistent or as needed basis. Services can be tailored to the needs of pets and owners alike. Walks are a happy and healthy way to give your pet a bit of exercise and social interaction! 30 minute walks (or longer) can be around your local neighborhood or a nearby park, wherever your dog is most comfortable. If a walk is not the right fit for your dog, a drop-in visit is a great option to provide your pet with some human companionship (potty break and some treats too!). All sizes and breeds are welcome! I have experience with pets of all kinds, including horses! My goal is to provide a relaxed and happy experience for both pet and owner. I offer flexible hours for convenience. Please contact me with any questions or requests! **Have an open and flexible schedule for your needs **I will take time to walk your pet for at least 30 minutes or more upon request I will make sure your cinnabuns get some exercise and everything else they need from being out and about on their walks all while being safe!

Marie was so good with Claire. Both seemed immediately very comfortable with each other. It gave me a real sense of ease to leave my very senior dog in Marie's care. I came home to a calm, relaxed dog after a couple of visits from Marie and me being gone most of the day. I will definitely reach out to Marie again to look after Claire when I need to be away from home.

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.

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.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.

About: I'm a Division 1 women's rugby player and a huge animal lover! Dogs have always been a big part of my life growing up, and I currently have a 3-year-old Boxer named Rory who is such a character and makes me laugh every single day. On top of my love for animals, I have years of babysitting experience and am in my 6th year as a lifeguard, so keeping a close eye on those in my care comes naturally to me. I'm reliable, high-energy, and genuinely love spending time with dogs so your pup will always be in great hands. Whether it's a long walk or some extra playtime, I'll make sure they're happy, tired, and well taken care of! I'm a college athlete home for the summer with plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your dog! I work as a lifeguard and legal intern most days from 9-3, so I have great afternoon and evening availability throughout the week. Your home and your dog are in good hands with me. I stick to whatever routines and rules you have in place, give your pup plenty of attention and activity during walks and drop-ins, and always leave things exactly as I found them. Your peace of mind is just as important to me as your dog's happiness!

Maribella is awesome! She is prompt, responds quickly to requests, reliable and all with her polite Southern charm. We are so happy to have found her for our Sherlock, our rescue beagle that has severe separation anxiety—not welcome when living in a condo. Mirabella calmed him down, walked him to relieve his anxiety, so when we arrived home he was happily chomping on a treat. Thanks Maribella for giving us the time to enjoy our beach yoga.

Wendy was amazing. She came to walk our little Chloe twice a day for 4 days when we were out of town. She came like clockwork. She was thorough and very caring. She took tons of pics and played with her and took excellent care. I couldn’t have asked for better. I highly recommend Wendy.
