About: I have been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life. Over the years, I have been a pet parent (or pet grandparent!) to fish, birds, mice, rats, and even ferrets! As the current owner of one rotten Border Collie and six spoiled cats, my pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and stress free when you can’t be there. I would love the opportunity to give your fur babies the love and care they need, and deserve, in your absence. I am currently a stay-at-home wife and the mom of one grown and flown daughter with plenty of time available to take care of you, and your fur baby’s, needs. As a trusted person in your home, careful attention detail and leaving things as they found them is of utmost importance to me! I want you and your fur babies to be comfortable and secure in the fact that I will care for them in a way you would, and carefully follow any care instructions given to ensure their safety, and your peace of mind.
“Melissa treated Kai like her own pet and gave us wonderful updates during our trip! She made us feel totally comfortable leaving our pet and is a fantastic sitter!”
“Jessica provided exceptional care for our three cats during our time away. Her daily communication was greatly appreciated; she kept us updated with regular photos that captured our pets' playful antics and adorable moments. It was clear that she genuinely connected with each of them, ensuring they felt loved and well-cared for.”
“Tori is excellent. I've used her multiple times to watch my cat and she takes great care of her. She sends great picture updates and lets me know what's going on with her. I'm a sitter myself, and I would personally recommend Tori to anyone looking for pet care.”
“I had a very positive experience with my first time using Rover. It was great to not have to worry about my pets because they were being cared for. I would definitely book with Bri again.”
“Kristina once again did a fantastic job taking care of my rabbits. It was a longer trip this time and she was able to make sure their water bowls were cleaned regularly and swap out their litter boxes for me. I will definitely be using her again for future trips.”
“Maggie was awesome ! Just before I left town I had to put one of my cats to sleep due to kidney failure. Maggie called me on that day to tell me she was thinking of me and to give her condolences. She's such a sweetheart. Every day I was away she made sure she took photos of all 7 of my cats, even the one that hides under the bed. I will definitely book her again.”
About: Currently a Vet Assistant. I have become familiar with the body language of dogs and cats of all sizes. Coworkers have relied on me to spend time with their own pets for as little as a few hours to a few days. I always do my best to make sure your pets are as comfortable as I care for them. I have plenty of time on Saturdays and Sundays to play with, watch, or walk your pets as you need. Whether you need me to stop in or have an extended visit! I will maintain open communication and send pictures with how your pets is doing. I will always check to see if there are any hazards before leaving and follow instructions for your pets that you might have.
About: I worked at PetSmart for over a year in the grooming Department. I also worked for doggie style pets in Philadelphia . Before I started grooming I worked at Sobo Dog daycare as well in Baltimore. I really enjoy working with dogs and getting to know them and the pet parents. I want to make a safe environment so they're comfortable that their pets are taken care of. I'm hoping that later down the road that I can possibly find a career in this and I feel like this is a good way to start. Im really looking forward to this opportunity to further my experience in this field. I love dogs and I'm excited for this opportunity to love and care for your pets. I'm currently working from home part time as well as doing this part time. My hours are flexible and I'm usually always able to adjust my schedule to accommodate to my rover clients schedule! I can provide care to both, at clients home or I can provide boarding services in my home!! Whatever the client prefers! If im boarding I suggest bringing anything that is favorable, toy or bed, blanket ect its easier for them to get adjusted to the new environment if they have something familiar from home with them.
About: I have owned many animals throughout my life. I currently have a German Shepherd puppy and two cats. The love I have for animals runs deep. I will treat your animal as I would mine. I have a lot of experience with larger dog breeds and high energy dog breeds. Your fur baby will be treated with love, care, and kindness while in my care. In the future it is my dream to open my own rescue and help all the beautiful animals who have not been shown the love and kindness that they so genuinely deserve to be treated with. I’ve had animals since I was a young girl and I genuinely find comfort being around all fur babies needing my help out there. I am free Monday-Friday after 3:30 pm and any hours on the weekend. Available for evening visits if your stuck at work, getting home late, want to make plans but need to tend to your animals. My animals are family so they are well taken care of at home. I would treat yours the same way and ensure their safety and well being.
“Cannot say enough great things about Carolyn! She’s very responsive and takes such good care of my cats. I like that when I travel, I can feel confident that my kitties will get great care. Even my anxious older kitty warmed up to her :) She’s also very responsible and communicative”
