Taylor is wonderful! She took such great care of my cat while I was out of town. I also appreciated her daily communication with me. I hope Taylor is available next time I need a cat sitter, she is dependable and caring!

About: I have years of caregiving experience as a CNA, which translates over into how I take care pets. I’m very attentive, patient, and comfortable with routines, medications, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I have experience caring for dogs with various needs, including dogs with extra energy and those who require extra attention like medications, eye drops, and even diaper changes. I understand how important continuity and kind care are, especially for senior or special needs pets. What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to the small things that matter. I treat every pet like they’re my own.I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind. I work nights, so I’m available during the day from 10 AM to 3:30 PM. This works great for me to do walks, drop ins, and spend quality time with pets while their owners are at work. I will provide safe care in your pet’s home so they stay comfortable in their normal routines. I'll follow all instructions closely, keep a clean and secure environment, and send regular updates.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs as a child and am surrounded by friends with dogs! I travel for work so unfortunately I cannot take care of a dog at home. I have a lot of patience so I can handle the chaos of puppies! I work from home so it's easy to pop out for a walk throughout the day! I work full time M-F and travel a handful of times throughout the year! I work flexibly so as long as I do not have a scheduled meeting I can step out throughout the day for a check-in or walk. I have one cat at home and he is treated like he's the king of the house! He has a cat tree to watch the neighborhood wildlife through the window and get's treats for being brave after getting his daily medicine.

About: Hello, I’m Madison, but call me Maddy. I have my own dog, who’s a pit and pointer mix. Her name is Rosie. I love all types of dogs, big and small. I have worked as a dog sitter at local dog daycare facilities before. I also worked as a Dog bather at local groomers as well! From splashing around to playing together, dogs always make it fun! I promise to do my best, so they are treated just like my Rosie Posie. A dog’s tail never lies, so I take control and make sure they are always comfortable and my top priority. I would love to meet you and your best friend soon! Please feel free to ask me any questions, I am new to Rover and can’t wait to begin. Filling my schedule would be lovely, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m open to working with you and your best friend. But I find time to take care of Rosie before and after work. I play with Rosie before I go to work and make sure she has plenty dog cuddles before I leave! Oh I care for each dog like it’s my Rosie. You can trust they are in loving hands. I try my best to make them comfortable by providing water, toys, and a blanket if we want to take a break. I’m flexible for each dog, they are all different.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, growing up around dogs and learning early on the responsibility, patience, and love that comes with proper animal care. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, bathing, administering basic care, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with most breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around pet visits, walks, and feedings to ensure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m organized, dependable, and mindful of routines, so I make sure pets are cared for on time—even on busy days. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and prioritize maintaining a calm, familiar schedule for each pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and house rules. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure, with doors and gates properly closed and hazards kept out of reach. I respect your home as if it were my own and keep routines consistent to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

This is my second time using Maj to sit for my baby Honey. I can always count on her to send me pictures to assure me that she is ok. I recommend Maj to other people who are looking for a good sitter who takes pride in her work.

About: No such thing as a dog too big! Growing up with several dogs in my family home, I truly view them as a part of our families. With a belief in positive reinforcement and redirection, your dog will have a fun, stress-free time; making our home their home for the duration of their stay. Having gone through the puppy stage several times, including within the past year, I can assure you our patience is tried and tested, and that I carry an attitude in which it is imperative to maintain respect for the individual temperament of each dog. Some breeds I have experience with include: pitbulls, labs, dobermans, cane corsos, boxers, and mastiffs. I have trained my dogs in basic obedience, all with varying degrees of energy level, stubbornness, and intelligence 🙃. While size does not matter, all dogs who enter our home must be child and dog friendly. **To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone involved, meet and greets are mandatory without exception before boarding or daycare. This can take place at a dog-friendly park, or our backyard if you would like to see our home.** *Smoke and alcohol free home *Large fenced backyard *Almost always home I am a full time stay at home mom to a 3.5 year old as well as 1 year old male (neutered) dog. We do not leave him home alone for more than three hours, so your dog would have human companionship and access to the outdoors at almost all times! Our dog is no longer using one, so we have a large crate that your dog is welcome to use if that is what they are accustomed to or have any destructive tendencies when left alone. Our dog gets lot's of love and exercise. We make sure he practices good manners with daily basic training and keep him happy with enrichment activities, walks, and plenty of scratches. We never leave him outside unattended and he is ALWAYS leashed if outside of the backyard fence. I have had three dogs as an adult, and none have ever escaped.

About: I have grown up with pets of my own, my whole life. Because of this, I truly adore animals. I treat every pet like my own family. I am an artist so I can create free time whenever needed for your loved ones. My schedule is very relaxed. I don’t need a whole lot of heads of before being scheduled. I have a fenced, large yard that they can play in. I also have two cats but I have an area of the house that I can keep them while sitting for your pet.

About: I grew up with multiple pets and have a place in my heart for all animals! I’ve taken care of many different types of animals, with different personalities and needs, including anxious, energetic, senior, and puppies. I have been relied on by friends and family to feed, walk, and keep their animals happy and healthy! I am happy to be taking care of any type of animal. I personally have a cat and two golden retrievers. I currently work full time, that can have flexibility depending on the week/day, but I also love to do this in my free time away from the normal work week. Work days are not always consistent week to week, so check my calendar or reach out for availability! I am always available after 4pm on weekdays and available weekends. I love to get out and about, whether that is a walk, run, fetch, dog park, or a pup cup run! Treats and snuggling is always in the agenda as well. I would love to send pictures of your fur babies when you’re gone!

About: I’m the perfect sitter for your furry baby! I’ve dog/cat sat for many friends and family members. I have many years of experience with pet sitting. I love all dogs and cats! I would treat yours as if they were my own :) I promise you won’t regret it! I am looking for a side job for extra cash for the holidays. I am free to watch your pet Wednesday through Sunday. But if needed, i can find a way to pet sit Monday and Tuesday. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around in. A large dog kennel if needed. Plenty of dog toys and bedding. I am also more than happy to stay at a clients house if that is what’s preferred:)
