“Carla was wonderful. She was great with my pups, communicated well and took great care of our home. We will have her take care of our pups again!”
“Erin was amazing! She answered promptly and took me on very last minute. My two dogs loved her and she made me feel very comfortable: as someone who has never used a sitter before! Will be booking again !!”
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for about 3 years. I went to school and became a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I am also Pet CPR Certifed. I have my own pet/house sitting business and offer feline grooming! I work full time but am able to pet sit every night, on weekends and do checks on pets during the day, sometimes multiple times a day. Your pets will get lots of play time, go on walks, and get lots of attention. I do like to relax with them and just hang out as well, depending on the pet.
“My dogs absolutely LOVED Jason! He definitely gets and understands how to connect with animals, and also knows the needs of a fur-mom when away; needing to know that they’re safe and content. He was communicative and always let me know how they were doing and what was going on. I’ll be calling on him again for sure!”
“Always great having Gillian watch my pups. She's very communicative throughout the entire stay, always sending photos and messages. She's my go to when it comes to a sitter choice!”
“Our family, including our dog, are very anxious, but we felt completely calm, relaxed, and happy with Stacey caring for the pets. She kept the house exactly as we left it, she sent photos every day, and it is clear the pets felt comfortable and relaxed. Her communication was excellent, contacting us daily but unobtrusively. I could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much for such a great experience.”
“We had a lovely experience booking Andrea. We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos of our kitties. Andrea was very thoughtful and gave our cat his medicine even when we were about to be home so we had one less thing to do after a hectic day. I would definitely book again if our cats needed watching ☺️”
About: I have lived with and cared for many dogs for as long as I can remember. I now have two of my own dogs and coming home to them makes me so happy! With my two dogs included I live with 5 dogs! Crazy I know! But they are so loved and happy! I have cared for rescue animals and dogs through every phase of life. I have taken care of dogs on medications, special diets and when recovering from surgery and procedures. My dog Jackson and I have traveled across the country together and I loved experiencing all the new sites with him. I can’t wait to meet your dog(s). Because I live with 5 dogs and 4 cats, pet care happens everyday! When I’m home with them they are always around and getting attention and affection from me. I take time to make sure each animal we have has there needs meet. This includes walking, playing ball, grooming, feeding and all the cuddles! I care for my pets in a loving and stable environment. Because we have so many pets we all take care of the animals we have, they even have the ultimate sitter (auntie) who comes over when we don’t have someone at home. Dogs are family in my house!
“Thank you!! Zanae has watched my 9 week old pup twice and we had a great experience both times!”
“Alexis is a wonderful cat sitter! She is professional and sent photos of our cats during her visit. We will continue to have her come by when we need a cat sitter.”
“Caroline and Kurt were great!! We came home to happy pups and a clean house. They were great at communicating, asking questions, and sending pictures. We never had to worry if our pups/house were in good hands. Will definitely be using them again in the future and would highly recommend!!”
“Haley was awesome! She took care of our puppy and cat for a week. They were both so happy! She gave them so much attention and kept us informed while we were away. When we came home the house was spotless! Our pets were relaxed and you could tell she spent a great deal of time with them to keep them entertained. We will definitely hire Haley again!”
“Melissa was a great house and pet sitter for a long weekend. Excellent communication in advance. Treated both our house and pets with great care. Will definitely use her again for future get-aways.”
“Our dog Charlie is very shy and takes time to warm up to people. He loves Atlas. We know he is very well taken care of while we are gone. Our flight was delayed and she came back the next day to take care of him until we got home. She even cleaned up before she left. We are so grateful for her!”
About: Highlight: I am experienced with aggressive and reactive animals! Note: I am very flexible with pricing. If my rates seem too high, feel free to reach out anyway and I'll be happy to see see what we can work out. 😊 I have had animals in my home and life as long as I can remember. I have cared for countless dogs, cats, and small animals. At one point in my life I had seven dogs and a number of other pets. Animal care and rescue is my greatest passion. I am skilled at handling dogs and other animals of all ages, sizes, and temperments. I have worked with aggressive and reactive dogs and have experience deescalating conflicts when they arise. I am more than happy to care for any kind of animals- not just dogs and cats. My own current pets are two dogs and four cats. I also have experience caring for small animals, various poultry and livestock, and horses. When I was 15 years old I started occasionally farm/house sitting for a family with dogs, horses, and a cat, and caring for all of the animals there during my stay. With them I have worked daytime hours as well as overnight stays for a few days at a time so they could take trips out of state. In my adult life I have branched out, first with Rover a few years ago, and then with expanding farther into launching my private pet care business at the beginning of 2024 while still maintaining my presence on Rover. My client base is steadily growing and I am excited to see where this venture takes me! I am reliable and committed to providing excellent service for my clients. If you want a pet caretaker you can count on who will treat your animals as well as their own, I'm your gal! I work part time as a BHP and I try to be as flexible as possible. My schedule changes depending on the time of year. Currently I work with my human client from 7:15 am - 8:15am and 2:30pm - 5:30pm on weekdays and am off on weekends. I take care of animal clients all days of the week. Please message me and I'll do my best to work something out. I take utmost care to keep animals in my care safe and properly contained. I make sure to follow whatever rules and structures are in place for the animals to ensure their safety. Pets are always leashed inside before heading for a walk and the leash isn't unclipped until we are back inside with a closed door. I am vigilant in looking out for potential risks (e.g. other animals, cars, bad things they could eat, etc) and making sure to give them a wide berth. In my own home I have any small animals carefully segregated into rooms that predator animals don't go into. Anytime I leave the room, I do a check and verify that all predators are outside the door so nobody can get hurt. I monitor the dog around the cats to make sure all interactions are safe. I have utlized crates and baby gates when necessary to keep animals safely contained and/or separated in the past. I am skilled at containing flight risk animals and watching out for their safety.
