“Coretta did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond - taking care of unforeseen issues that popped up and sending thoroughly documented (and cute) reports after each visit. I would recommend her to anyone as a trustworthy, compassionate, and knowledgeable caretaker for your animals.”

About: I Love animals. Especially dogs and cats. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all kind. Your pet will be staying in my home, so they will have the whole house to themselves. I take extra long walks to the park and the beach often. You will never find anyone more invested in your best friend. Every hour of every day is dedicated to caring for your best friend. I am very active. I go to the gym 5 days a week. Working with dogs and cats gives me what we need in order to stay fit and mental stable. I will have your doggies tired at the end of the day!! The doggies and kitties have the entire house to their self. I have a big home with 4 floors. I also have a large yard that is fenced in and totally secure. No one gets in or out unless I decide to.

About: I give animals good eye contact, effective tone, pay attention to their physical capabilities, and show love, respect, and observe surroundings for danger while walking I am normally home early mornings and during the day. Some days I work events as an artist but I have a very flexible schedule. I make sure the floors are clear so that animals are free to roam. I don’t keep chemicals or certain plants out that would harm animals.

About: I think the best way to connect with pets is to give them as much time and love as possible. I like to figure out what each dog needs out of the walk. Some dogs don’t need a really log walk all the time. And some dogs need to build up how long they can go. Let me figure out what your dog needs exactly. I also like to take them to doggy parks to see other dogs. If they don’t like it all good we can just play with there favorite toys and cuddle. Also when staying the night they will have a good amount of space. I live in and apartment which I know isn’t the most spacious but most of the day we would be out .

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient, observant, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m experienced with maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need to stay relaxed and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my schedule around being responsible, active, and consistent. I have the flexibility to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets attention and companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels rewarding rather than stressful. Throughout the week, I make sure pets have a stable routine, plenty of supervision, and a comfortable environment where they can feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and exercise throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on time, walked, given fresh water, and receive companionship and care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve always been the go-to among family and friends to watch their animals when they are gone for trips or vacations or need extra help. I’m an avid walker in general, and a walk is always better with a pet! I’ve volunteered for two years at animal shelters, trained and raised a puppy, and have experience caring for pets young and old. I’m currently a writer, remote copy-editor, and substitute teacher with an incredibly flexible schedule at the moment. I can watch, walk, and care for dogs and cats pretty much 24/7 at the moment. The only thing I cannot do is host animals in my home due to my apartment’s lease. Every pet is different and every pet owner cares for their pet differently. Let me know all your animals quirks and needs and I’ll meet them happily! I’d love to walk your dog around the park or neighborhood, give them them their special treats, respect your cat’s weird boundaries and quirks, etc, etc. :)

“An amazing cat sitter! It’s clear how much she truly loves animals, and they love her back. Even our very shy and unsociable kitty fell in love with her at first sight, which was a huge surprise to us. We’re so grateful for her care, kindness, and attention.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, mostly hounds but lots of experience with all breeds! I am more than happy to work with dogs of any age and have experience with caring for high needs and senior dogs. i am no stranger to a mess and have no problem cleaning up any type of accident. i love all dogs but my heart really goes out to the big pups out there <3. i am quite comfortable with working with dogs that have behavioral/agression issues, given i am properly informed and prepared. i have a fairly open schedule most of the time. i work freelance contractually from time to time, but i am always available to take a break and come see your fur baby. i am returning part time to school in the fall, but that should not interfere with care timings I am very comfortable with dog procedural things. I have experience walking many sizes of dogs, as well as crating and proper and safe playtime. i believe that dogs tell us a lot more than some people let on, so as of course i will follow your guidance in care, i also want to listen to your dogs attitude and communication as well

About: Hi there! I'm Grace, and I've been petsitting since I was a young teenager. As a newly minted grad student, I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your pets. My grandparents were cattle ranchers, my family has always owned more than one dog or cat, I volunteered at a barn in high school, and recently spent a good chunk of my time at college as a volunteer dog walker/sitter for people with disabilities. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages as well as cats :) I'm a graduate student, so have plenty of time built in throughout the week to come and check in on your pet during the morning, afternoon, and evening as well as weekend. I also have a car and a bike, so am able to get places quickly in case of an emergency or a last minute booking! I've been petsitting for years and am well-versed in safety measures including basic knowledge of doggy first aid and a stern voice to get them to enter their crate at nighttime. While I can't have pets at my own apartment, I always spend a good chunk of time at the beginning of each sitting-relationship looking for potential safety issues in the house and backyard (holes in the fence, etc.)

“Anyah spent three days looking after our very shy cats and she took their standoffish nature in stride. She was communicative, organized, friendly, and punctual. Most importantly, she helped us out when we really needed a reliable pet sitter, and was unbelievable accommodating of our cats’ many quirks. We will absolutely be calling her first from now on.”

About: Fenced yard front all around. I will be sure your doggo gets playtime and walks to the park. I work from home so I can provide regular supervision and accommodation for any special needs. Currently working from home. I have a routine of a minimum of 3 walks per day with my dog and plenty of outside time in my fully fenced yard. I also make sure there is playtime in additional to treats and other physical needs. I understand that dogs need more than just potty breaks and food and water. I take the time to provide the attention and care that every dog needs. I provide a space for large dogs to be themselves in a safe and secure environment.

About: Hi, my name is Monica & I pride myself on being honest and empathetic in all things. This will translate to high quality care for your pet and full transparency from me. I have loved on and chased after both dogs and cats my entire life, and am ready to channel the love and lessons from those experiences into this new venture! I just moved to Chicago a few months ago and work full-time from home as a project manager! My job is very flexible, so I have lots of freedom for your fur babies & enjoy the company😊 I am extremely vigilant regarding pets both indoors and outdoors. I pay careful attention to the personalities and needs of pets in my care and don’t hesitate to provide whatever care necessary. I am considerate of public safety and responsibility which extends to any pets in my care.

About: Dogs were the first things I ever knew. I have grown up around animals my whole life and dogs have always been apart of my world. Currently I have 3 dogs back at my home. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, big breeds, and small breeds. I used to work at a doggy day care and have skills in dog training. I will do whatever it takes to make your pet feel like they being taken care with as much love as you give them when you are home. It is my personal duty to respect their boundaries and do my best work to provide you comfort while you are away too. Your pet will be treated as one of my own. At the moment I am out for summer and free to work! I will start my second to last semester of undergrad in September! At home I take care and love my pets everyday so being so far away from Colorado takes that part of my day away. I love to get comfortable and spend time with your pets. I will treat yours as if they were my own and make sure your furry friends are safe while you are away.

It was a great experience having Coretta visit my kitties! She is a very sweet and kind person. Our interaction was very easy going. Both of my cats loved her, even the skittish one warmed up to her! That is HUGE! This was my first time using Rover. Once you go Coretta, you won’t go back.
