About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I have been a trusted house sitter for neighbors with multiple pets and cared for my own lab, golden retriever, and sheepadoodle growing up. I’m currently a graduate student on clinical rotations. When I’m not working in the clinic, I am able to care for pets on my days off. I am willing to house sit or perform drop in visits. I can feed, walk, and clean your pet! I am also willing to administer medication. I will make sure to make your pet feel at ease while you are out.

“I highly recommend Makenzie as a pet caregiver. She is incredibly responsible and genuinely loves animals. During the time she cared for my dog, I witnessed her attention to detail—ensuring proper feeding schedules, along with medication schedules and plenty of affectionate playtime. Makenzie’s dedication and understanding of pet needs gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She’s not just a caregiver; she treats pets as family members, and I cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. I’m a disabled nurse and providing care and love to animals fills the void left in my life after taking care of patients for 16 years as an RN. I’m disabled and have been for 8 years now. I can’t think of anything more fulfilling than being able to give care and love to other peoples pets!! I go to church on Sundays and Wednesday evenings. Other than Dr.’s appointments my schedule is open. I will protect and care for your pet as if they were mine. I treat my dog like family because she is. I will also do any special instructions to the letter. What you want for your pet is very important to me!!

“Many times Hailey has proven to be one of the most compassionate people towards any animal. She continuously tries to set the bar for pet care beyond what it is, wether that be with providing nutrient rich food for every pooch, or if the pooch is a special case and needs extra love to feel comfortable she has never ceased to make them happy. I would trust her to care for more than my dog with how completely invested she is in caring for animals.”

“Jeri stayed at my house in Florida for five weeks during the Summer of 2018 while my wife and I went on an extended European trip. Our two dogs were well cared for during our absence. Our neighbors reported that Jeri was very conscientious in walking the dogs. The dogs appeared healthy and happy when we returned. The house was clean and orderly upon our return. We would recommend Jeri to take care of your dog(s) when you leave town. Steve B.”

About: I have loved animals since I was young, because of this I have spent at least 10 years helping and caring for many animals. Over the years I learned more about different animals you could keep as pets and how to care for them. I now live with my boyfriend and keep 25 animals with no plans to slow down! We have a dog, cats, ferrets, snakes, a bearded dragon, ducks, and chickens. I have spent time with many older dogs and cats and am familiar with many issues that come with age such as bladder control, hearing, sight, issues with appetite, etc. I would love to spend time with your family pets as I’m able to help both the owner and the pet! I will provide plenty of photos and answer any questions you might have! I’m currently working full time while doing side jobs such as this in order to put myself through college. Please be patient and be aware that if I do not respond to any booking inquiries immediately that I will get back to you within 24 hours! Thank you! 😊 While I do work full time to put myself through school, I love to dedicate as much time as possible being able to handle and care for animals. I would ask the client if they had any specific information they would like me to go over for care before going to the clients home. I like to be very thorough with any wants or needs.

“I have used Desiree for house sitting, baby sitting and pet sitting. She is responsible, dependable, trustworthy and compassionate. She is a true animal lover!”

“Preston would not only love, care, and protect your pet but would make sure your dog gets what it needs in fitness nutrition and help you train your pet to be more well mannered in public and with other dogs!”

“Great dog sitter!!”

About: I used to work as a nurse but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!

About: Hello! I am genuinely so glad to meet you and have the opportunity to help you out! I have almost 10 years of experience with Rover. My main mantra is “Help you have a stress free trip.” I fully understand that leaving your pet (baby) is stressful. I will send you daily photos and updates. I obtained my Masters in Social Work in 2020 and am a licensed social worker. I’m currently practicing PRN medical social work. I am able to create my own schedule and primarily be home with the pets. I am a HUGE homebody and am here with them majority of the time unless I am doing a home visit that day (typically takes 2 hours) or running an errand. The only thing I request be brought is your pets favorite food and whatever medication they are currently taking. It can also be helpful to bring whatever bed is comfortable for your pet to sleep on. If your pet is a bed sleeper, that is OK as well! My main focus is to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible. Many folks provide me with some type of written or typed instruction. This helps me provide you with the best care possible so that whenever they come home, your pet has continued their consistent schedule. This is optional but totally cool to provide! My two babies: Benni and Bowie. They will bark at first and then in an hour they will be cuddles with your pet on the couch. It’s the weiner dog in them. 😂. They love all animals and seriously go into a small depression when your pets leave! They are highly socialized and non aggressive. Please message me with any questions you may have. I cannot wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾♥️ I am a licensed social worker and complete 0-20 hours of home visits a week. I am primarily home and my schedule revolves around taking care of the pups! I send daily photos and updates. Please contact me at any time you would like. Request a meet and greet if you would like to introduce animals yourself. I can also do this professionally and safely. Thank you!

“Samantha is a family friend and she has kept my German Shephard, Winnie, many times while I have been out of town over the last few years. She is wonderful with Winnie, treats her like her own. I would highly recommend her to keep and love your fur babies.”
