About: I am a fellow animal lover offering my home and yard to those who need someone to take care of their furry friends like they are their own. I have walked dogs in NYC, worked for large and small animal vets, and even have an animal science degree! I have worked with all kinds of animals big and small. I will do everything I can to make sure your pets are happy while you are away. Your dogs will have lots of outside time in the big backyard and other four legged friends to keep them company. I come home frequently to let me own dogs out and have a roommate that loves dogs too! He is always helpful and takes the dogs out when he gets home too.

“Katrina is awesome. She went above and beyond while looking after our critters. Thanks so much!”

About: I have cared for all types of animals for 32 years. I have always had a passion for animals and nature. I have worked in pet stores and have even interned at the Greenville Zoo with the keepers! I can provide loving, special attention to your pet family members. They will be treated with same love and respect I give my own. I currently have a dog and two cats, along with several other furry and feathered friends. I am also a proud plant mom! I am well acquainted with the worry that comes along with someone else taking care of your pet so I can provide as many updates as you need and we can video chat or text as often as you need, during waking hours I am available full time on the weekends. On weekdays I am available in the morning and after 4 pm. If I have the honor of boarding your pet I will need to crate them for about seven hours while I am commuting and working. I will play special music with calming frequencies for them while I am gone! I am home most of the time otherwise as I am a homebody and I love being at home with my fur babies!! I have a large fenced yard and a dog door. I am in a lovely, quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for walking. I am also across the street from the Swamp Rabbit Trail and Swan Lake!! I have a very friendly, gentle dog and two dog-tolerant cats. My sweet dog, Chloe, is almost 12 years old so I do request that all boarders be “polite players” and not play rough or tackle so that we can keep Chloe safe. All boarder must also be cat friendly. Dogs are welcome on my furniture and I have several dog beds throughout the house. I will be sure to engage in your dog’s favorite activities so they are happy and exercised!! In your home, I will treat your property with the same care and respect as my own. I will clean up any accidents or messes, I will follow ALL given directions, and I will make sure doors are properly locked. I am available by cell phone, call, text, or FaceTime, at any time during waking hours. I totally understand if you need to see your pet or need multiple updates a day!!

“Bella was prompt at responding to messages, she spent the requested amount of time with my cat, and performed all duties like cleaning the litter and playing with Molly. She sent photos and videos to help me stay connected and see that my cat was doing well.”

“Kimberly is so good with Daisy! She also is very observant and goes beyond taking care of Daisy to take care of packages and anything extra that comes up.”

About: Ever since I was little, my family has owned dogs! We currently have two adorable miniature pinschers, one of whom I trained as a puppy to sit, lie down, and stay. I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs, from Anatolian Shepherds to Chihuahuas, and a handful of cats. I am punctual, reliable, and I enjoy sending videos and pictures of your fur-babies! Note: If you’d like to learn a bit more about my love for dogs outside of Rover, I have an instagram account dedicated to my two dogs. It’s called: poochinimuttroom As a student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Any day of the week, I’m available at some time in the morning, midday, afternoon, or evening. I have regular and long openings in my schedule where I’d love to walk/take care of your pet! My dogs at home get the princess treatment, and your pet will be no exception. I’m used to always being around my dogs, they love to cuddle and be close to me. Whether your pet prefers snuggles or just a good walk, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and checked in on during every scheduled visit. Any instructions will be followed very closely and the house will always be exactly as you left it.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I could walk! I grew up with dogs, horses, goats, rabbits, and ducks. So I am well-versed with taking care of animals. I am happy to walk/play with your pets. And keep them company while you are away! I am currently a full time student so cannot do any mid day visits. But weekends and anytime after 4 pm I am available for walks, playing with pets, and feeding! I have a fenced in yard at my house but there is lots of land for dogs to run if they are good off leash and have good recall. My house is far off the road so they would not be near any busy roads.

“Morgan did an excellent job taking care of our cat Howie for us! She was always on time and made sure he was happy and safe while we were gone. Loved the pictures she sent!”

About: About me: I am a health/wellness professional and have also worked with animals my whole life. I have volunteered and fostered for various dog adoption organizations including GALT, SPCA, MARS, Mega Adoption Event. I am experienced with most dog breeds and dog behavior. I have always been passionate about animals and I treat every dog that I sit as if they were my own. I am very interactive and affectionate with them, and will provide any special care that they need so that they feel comfortable and at ease while you are gone. Why I love dog sitting: I enjoy providing the peace of mind for pet owners that they can travel, etc. without worrying about their dog while they are gone. I not only take great care of my dog guests, but I make sure they have a great, stress-free time while their owners are away. Meet my pets: I have a senior xoloitzcuintle (Mexican hairless) dog at home. He's my best friend so we do everything together. He mainly sleeps all day, but enjoys a good home too. I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule so I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and play time. I’m available for short and longer stays. I keep a very calm, stable environment for my pet guests to ease anxiety while their parents are away. I have a lot of nature nearby, so there is plenty to explore whether it's my large, fully-fenced yard or walks on the Swamp Rabbit trail.

“I seriously cannot rave enough about Taylor! She has been stays with our kitty who has separation anxiety and we always come home to a very happy cat. Just recently we had her stay with our newborn kittens who need frequent medicine and she went above and beyond! I never could have left town without having her here. She responds quickly to requests even as last minute as 30 minutes before having to leave for the airport. We will absolutely continue to use her whenever we leave town”

“Kyle was a sweet guy with a big heart and took good care of our fur babies.”

“Steffanie was wonderful to work with! She was available last minute when our other sitter had to cancel and we are so happy we found her. She came by to meet our cats, and sometimes they are skittish around new people, but they immediately came to her and were comfortable. She was great about communicating during our trip, sending updates and photos. Will happily book again!”

Bryon J.

“Nat and Max were able to do a couple of drop in visits for our 4 month old golden, Rosie, when our usual sitter was unavailable. They were flexible with coming over for a meet and greet, were prompt during drop ins, and sent pictures to show our girl having a great time. Will definitely book them again!”

Becca & John N.

“She was awesome! Good communication and takes lots of great pictures!”

About: I have cared for my family and friends dogs and cats ever since I turned 16 and got my drivers license. Whether they went out of town, or just needed someone to come and let their fur baby out and play with them, I made myself available. My goal is for your pets to always be healthy and happy! I also have a passion for dog training, especially puppies, and have some experience in that field of work. I strive to always go the extra mile when it comes to their care and well being! I know all too well the stress that accompanies going out of town or leaving your pet in the care of someone other than you. That is why I want to offer my services in order to alleviate that stress. Each day you are gone I will send you updates and pictures of your fur baby. I am currently working part time at home, with much flexibility during the week. If you tell me your need, I will do my best to see it met. I usually try to protect my weekends to spend with family and friends. I have a fenced in backyard that is safe and pet-friendly and a cute neighborhood away from the busy road for walks and exercise. I have a sweet golden-retriever mix that can keep yours company. I also have the capacity for crates if you prefer your dog/cat to stay in a crate.

“I booked with Koula because her photo and bio made me feel like she was an old friend I could count on, someone I could give the key to my house to and walk away and not worry. Our 17 year old kitty who typically 'allows' only 3 people in this world in his presence let her pet him during the meet and greet...landmark! He wasnt feeling well either so that was comfortng. Koula is a special person not only for her calm personality and way with animals but she also knows and likes plants (which is important to me) and is a homeowner (keenly observant of my house). I look forward to handing her my keys with confidence whenever I go away! I trust her because she cares.”

Sharon D.

“I don’t have enough WONDERFUL words to describe Tammy! She is SO sweet and loving to our kitty, Mickey! She sends informative messages and great pictures each visit and makes an effort to get to know our kitty and what is needed to make him feel comfortable while we’re gone. We feel SO comfortable leaving our home and Mickey in Tammy’s hands!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. I got my first dog at age four and have grown up with pointers, spaniels, labs, and mixed breeds. I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and currently care for my sweet, playful cat who’s been with me since I was 15. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, going on long walks, or playing tug-of-war, I love connecting with animals in ways that make them feel safe and happy. I have experience with both indoor pets and outdoor lifestyles, and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every animal I meet. I’m currently preparing for grad school, so I’m looking for flexible work doing what I love most—spending time with animals! I’m currently looking for online part time positions as I start applying for grad school. I am trying to be more flexible with my schedule so I can prioritize grad school in the future. With pet-sitting: I am really respectful in what your routine is with your pet and what your pet needs. I am highly communicative and will send plenty pictures of your pet! I also love taking dogs to park, the swamp rabbit, or hiking if you are open to that. :) With boarding: I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I live in a house with 5 acres of land (unfenced). My parents have two retired hunting dogs who are kenneled, and we walk each dog separately for safety and comfort. When boarding, your pet would stay inside with me. I prefer to walk dogs on a leash until trust is fully formed. I also won’t let your dog interact with my parents’ dogs just to avoid any problems there! If your dog is house-trained, I’m happy to let them roam freely indoors—though we do prefer to keep pets off couches and beds. At home, my cat typically roams freely, but I’m happy to keep her upstairs to ensure a calm, safe environment when other pets are visiting.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up caring for our family dog, geese and ducks! Lately, i've committed myself to helping dogs and cats feel loved, safe and secure while their pet parents are away. I work full time in a pet boarding facility, and I love what I do! I previously worked at a local animal shelter for a year, where I learned the true responsibility of taking care of animals. Senior animals have such a special place in my heart! Animal happiness and safety is a main priority of mine. I am looking to take care of your animals part time! I work at a vet clinic 4 days out of the week, so I have plenty of experience with all kinds of dogs and cats! I have 2 dogs currently, a puggle and a mini pin doberman alongside 2 cats! We have a large fenced in yard which allows us to let our dogs get their energy out and enjoy some time alone outside, while we continue to keep a close eye on them. The dogs are never out of my sight, I know how mischievous they tend to be.
