“Bridget was wonderful! She provided detailed updates and notes every day when she did her visits and always took pictures. It was so nice having the peace of mind that my kitties were taken care of while I was away.”


About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m extremely passionate about their care, health, and overall well-being. I also have hands-on experience with professional dog grooming, including bathing, blow-drying, brushing, dematting, scissoring, and shaving. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, great at following detailed instructions, and prioritize clear communication with every owner. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I feed a group of 14 animals everyday for a older couple that can no longer do it themselves (or no longer prefers to lol) and that takes 2-3 hours of my evening leaving my basically fully available to fit in additional pet care all throughout the day. I am very passionate about adequate pet care. believe when it comes to caring for pets that trust is the foundation for it all. So when caring for a pet I believing following introductions and routines exactly, this helps the pet adjust and trust me a lot faster as they know I know their routine. My typical day with my dogs consists of waking up and going outside and just hanging out for a little, then I will give them breakfast and give them fresh water, after they are finished eating I clean their food bowl as well, and to end our morning routine I finish with a walk. Our afternoons usually consist of be doing any tasks or errands and when I’m home we will play with toys and hangout on the couch. The evenings usually is the same routine as the morning.

About: Hi👋 I'm Jill. I grew up on a farm and have always been around dogs & cats. I currently have two cats of my own. They were both strays and came into my life at different times. I love interacting with all types of animals. Since I can't have a dog of my own yet due to living situations, I would love to take care of yours! My sister and brother in-law have two dogs that I watch when they go out of town. One is a bigger 70 lbs Australian Shepard and the other is a smaller 10 lbs toy poodle. I hope to bring peace of mind to you and happiness & excitement to your pets. I work full time, but am available anytime on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays most weeks. 6 a.m. is the earliest I'm available and 10:30 p.m. is the latest. Availability breakdown: Sundays- Before 11 a.m. after 5:30 p.m. Mondays- After 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Wednesdays- After 3:30 p.m. Thursdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Fridays- Before 8:45 a.m. after 7:30 p.m. Saturdays- 6 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. (Anytime) My two cats are grazers so they get fed twice a day and eat when they get hungry. They have a water fountain that circulates the water to mimick a stream. They seem to enjoy moving water better than still standing in a bowl. When I watch my sister & brother in-laws dogs I take them for walks twice a day and we play & cuddle. I work on tricks with them too. I normally use their dry food as treats if we work on tricks for a while.
About: Life is just better with animals and I love having them around! Overall, I have around 15 years of experience caring for pets through helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting, check-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship in general. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is more of a passion and less like work to me. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I also understand the stress of trying to find the perfect sitter when you’re going out of town as I, too, have gone through it many times. That’s another reason why I decided to finally get on Rover, so I could be the dependable and loving pet sitter that folks are looking for. I do have extensive experience with both younger pets and seniors (mostly dogs and cats) and of course have a special soft spot for the older fur babies who require a gentleness that I’m very used to giving. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone reliable nearby, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care you can feel confident about. Our pets have always been treated as part of our family and the second your fur baby is in my care (via a walk, sleepover, or check-in) they will be treated like family too. I work full time but have a wonderfully flexible schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays I work from home so I get extra time to hang out with fur babies at my house and on the weekends I am also available! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I get home from work between 4pm-5pm but can always leave earlier if need be. I love going on walks in the morning and at night (and during lunch time if I’m working from home) so if I had a pup with me and they like walks too, I’d love to add a companion to my walks!! I have a fenced in back yard and 1 indoor male cat named Pancake. My cat is very sweet (and neutered) and gets along great with other animals but we can absolutely separate if that would work best. I have no children so it’s just me, the cat, and my wonderful (animal loving) boyfriend of 9 years! We are about as stable as it gets lol. We have a couple empty bedrooms that your pet could stay in or be crated in if you prefer that they have some privacy and alone time (totally up to you but the option is there if they need quiet time). Overall though our home is pretty quiet and loving. No crazy noise - just two people and a cat who have lots of love to give other animals!
About: I’ve been around dogs & cats my whole life taking care of them and I have a 3 year old and 4 month old fur baby right now! I will treat your baby like my own! When my family needs a pet sitter I’m usually the one they call! I currently work a full- time job but I am more than willing to keep your pup occupied while I’m at work if they stay with me if I do drop-ins I will do it before and after work! I do not have a yard but I am more than willing to bring your pup on walks and play fetch with them in my condo! I do have 2 female dogs that would love a friend to play with!
“We can't recommend Brittney enough! Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our vacation completely stress-free, knowing our cat Dexter was in the best hands. Before our trip, Brittney took the time to meet with us and Dexter, listen to our concerns, and understand his routine. She exceeded every expectation when it came to his care. Every day, she sent us updates and photos of a happy Dexter eating, playing, and lounging—clearly comfortable and content. It brought us so much peace of mind, especially since all of us tend to have a bit of separation anxiety! Brittney’s love for animals truly shines through. Her calming presence, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. We will absolutely be using her services again and won’t hesitate to recommend her to other pet parents looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.”

“Jennifer is reliable and always great with my cats. She gives them lots of treats and play time- I can tell they are spoiled while I'm away! And my home is always clean when I get back. Thanks!”

“Sara has been so helpful, communicative and wonderful! She was extra patient with our grumpy old man =) We highly recommend Sara for your pet sitting or drop in needs! Can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thanks Sara!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. As an adult I got involved in helping train law enforcement dogs. After replying I came back and decided to become a professional dog trainer. I work overnight shifts a few days a week but am available most days during the day. I spend a lot of time working with my own dogs and can offer training if you are interested. I have a fenced yard and three dogs. I have a kennel room that allows for plenty of room for care and a basement that I use as a training facility. My dogs can be rotated on a basis if your dog is not pet friendly.

“Marie was such a fantastic cat sitter for my two cats, they absolutely loved her! They were so content when I got home, I know she took great care of them. She sent me so many pictures of them too which I greatly appreciated. I can’t thank her enough for catsitting for me and will no doubt ask her back anytime!!”

“This was our first time boarding Ripley with Katherine and we couldn’t be happier. Not only was our Ripley well taken care of, Katherine made sure to check in with us daily, sending us updates, pictures, and videos of Ripley. ❤️🐾❤️”
