“Aiyana is such a loving and caring sitter. Exactly who we wanted to make our kitties feel safe and happy while we were away. The pics she sent made us smile and know that they were doing great too! We will always ask Aiyana to watch our animals.”
About: i've been dog-sitting for 4 years now, I have worked at many houses in the San Jose area in California. I have done cat-sitting for my neighbors and dog walking in Ashland. I am free to work many hours and I would love to take care of your pets! I am in grad school at SOU through June of 2027, and I will be student teaching for much of it. I am available for more hours in the afternoons once school is out and before classes begin. Classes for me are only twice a week, and I will make sure to fit in a walk before it gets dark. My home has one cat, and I grew up with a dog, so I know how to take care of both of these animals. I always lock the door before leaving the house, and I check to make sure I know where my animals are at all times when I am home. I am comfortable feeding pets, giving them water, and giving them medicine if needed. I also know how much quality time means to pets, so I can spend extra time with pets after walks.
“Got back in town from a week long trip to find a couple happy dogs and clean house. I'm so thankful for Ali taking care of my babies. Always was on time always got picture updates I didn't worry about them as much because of it. Highly recommend booking with him. Super nice guy, will be hiring him again! Thanks Ali!”
About: In addition to being a dog owner for 26 years, I have also worked with the Humane Society socializing dogs to humans and other dogs. One of my more noticeable cases was a dog who was not very outgoing. She was very shy. After all the work I put in, and a couple days, she was sitting in my lap in the world me to pet her, somethings no other volunteer had acheived. I have owned dogs all my life. I just had to say goodbye to my 18 year old chihuahua so I am very experienced in senior care. I’m very flexible any time, but after 5pm on weekdays or anytime on the weekends are when I will be free no matter what. I work 8-5 , but can work around my schedule to provide day walks or check in around noon Earning a dog’s trust is very important. I know to sit on the floor, allow them to walk up to me and offer a hand if they would like me to pet them. I love dogs so I play fetch, take them on walks, and give them unlimited pets
About: I have have multiple years of caring for people's pets. I was a professional housekeeper with my own business for over 20 years and also cared for their animals when they were away. I have been a long time pet owner myself and recently my fur babies passed away. I am looking to earn a little extra income as a senior while enjoying the company of animals. I am a senior and I am retired. Recently my fur babies passed away and I am looking to supplement my income while caring for people's pets. I really miss having animals in my home. I live in a senior mobile home park and I have a fenced in yard. I make sure that animals are safe, fed watered, walked and get plenty of potty breaks. They will get lots of love. I keep the yard clear of poop so that their environment is healthy for them.
About: I am energetic and free spirited, I enjoy traveling and making new friends, human and pet, along the way. I’ve always had animals through out life, until covid. Now it’s loving on the fur buds of others. I offer car rides, natural trail trips, short walks, long walks, fetch, cuddles, therapeutic massage, not to forget lots and lots of love as well as extended stay and house sitting. I frequently travel between New Smyrna Beach and Clermont. I am open to caring for any and all pet with a wide range of needs. I have an open mind and forever expanding perspective of life and put a great amount of passion for the things I put my energy into! I am available in the Talent/Ashland area Friday afternoon until Monday night and around White City Tuesday-Thursday. I am open to overnight in home sits. I am not offering in home sitting at this time. This could potentially change in the future or depending on if something is feeling aligned.
“Angelica took great care of my 3 cats. She followed the instructions well and handled other issues like adding more litter when needed. The cats were well taken care of. I will book Angelica again when needed.”
About: Grew up w/ small dogs and cats! All have been my favorite.😫 From bottle feeding week-old kittens to park-day trips, administering medication and probiotics. Baths for the pups are no problem, too! I am free twice a day at minimum for daily drops ins with optional extended bonding and play time, as well as weekend house sitting where your fur baby will be attended to for the remainder of the night! 🐾🐈🫶🏼 I use a baby gate as a “keep-out” tool if needed to be utilized in a specific area of your home. A provided crate for dogs that are destructive when left alone or in general would be appreciated!
About: My background in animal care extends well beyond traditional pet sitting. I completed extensive veterinary technology education while working full-time in a large, multi-department veterinary hospital, gaining years of hands-on experience with animals ranging from healthy puppies and routine-care patients to senior, hospitalized, post-op, and medically complex dogs. My subsequent transition into “human” healthcare has further strengthened the attention to detail and standard of care that I bring to every animal entrusted to me. My veterinary experience provided a comprehensive foundation in safe animal handling, canine behavior/temperament recognition, medication administration, medical-condition awareness, post-op care, and the identification of subtle changes that may indicate pain, anxiety, or physical distress. I am comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and overall presentation that may warrant closer observation or communication with a pet-parent. I am comfortable caring for dogs across all ages, sizes, and levels of need, including puppies, senior dogs, animals requiring additional behavioral consideration, and pets with established medical or mobility needs. My experience includes oral and injectable medication administration, incision and wound care, mobility assistance, post-operative monitoring, and incontinence-related care. Whether providing a walk, drop-in visit, extended sitting, or boarding, I approach pet care with the same principles that have guided my professional healthcare experience: attentive observation, appropriate precautions, consistency, clear communication, and respect for individualized care requirements. My goal is not simply to supervise a pet while an owner is away, but to provide knowledgeable, responsible care while maintaining the routine, safety, and level of attention each individual animal requires. I recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care and am currently preparing for my board examinations, which allows me a highly flexible schedule and the ability to be home much of the time. At present, I have considerable availability for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and other pet-care needs, and I am able to adjust my study schedule around confirmed bookings. Once I begin working in the hospital, my anticipated schedule will consist of three scheduled shifts per week, leaving the remaining four days largely open and predictable for pet care. I do not have children or other routinely changing obligations that would interfere with confirmed bookings. Any known limitations to my availability will always be communicated in advance, and with clear communication regarding your pet’s schedule and needs, I am currently able to accommodate a wide range of scheduling requests. Safety and attentive supervision are priorities in our home. Between my husband and me, our dogs are never left home without one of us present, and I maintain that same standard of supervision for pets entrusted to my care. I would not leave a pet unattended while I am responsible for their care. We have a fully fenced backyard and maintain a clean, organized, and uncluttered home and outdoor environment. With a five-month-old puppy of our own, our home is consistently kept pet-safe, with unsafe or inappropriate items secured and inaccessible. I am also careful and deliberate when managing interactions between animals and never assume unfamiliar dogs can simply be left together unsupervised. Introductions, outdoor access, feeding, and shared spaces are appropriately supervised, with the safety and comfort of each individual pet remaining the priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain the same standard of supervision, respect for their environment, and attention to safety.

About: I grew up with 3 dogs and a pig. I love all animals. Pigs are my favorite. Hopefully my boyfriend and I are getting a puppy soon. As a full time dog walker/pet sitter I have availability most days. Just give me a heads up and I’ll be playing with your pups in no time :) Unfortunately I can’t board at my apartment. I can however stay overnight at your residence or do frequent check ins depending on your preference.
About: I have over 6 years experience of house/pet sitting(from another website) caring for a variety of animals, fish, dogs, birds, cats, goats, a donkey, a llama and chickens. I am comfortable and confident with almost all domestic animals. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 30 years experience in various fields of medicine. I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family. My past nursing experience plus my 6 years of house/pet sitting has made me highly observant and attentive to the smallest details. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in challenging and emergency situations being both independent and self reliant. I love dogs and cats but do not have any of my own due to my gypsy like lifestyle. I have traveled a fair bit in my life having a curious mind and a zest for learning and experiencing new things. I am very neat and clean.....so your home will be just as you left it while respecting your property.
About: I cared for seniors with pets in their homes during the pandemic. I am a teacher who took a job with Home Instead and was a highly sought after care giver.

I love to go on walks any time of day. I care for other's pets as if they were my own. I love animals and want to provide the most compassionate and fun loving care for them.

Also open to holidays with enough notice I have a fenced backyard and live in a calm neighborhood with minimal traffic but plenty of walking trails to keep your pet active, have 2 children in the home who love animals too!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Talent
Brandy was a wonderful pet sitter! She was very thorough and communicative. I felt very relaxed while I was away and knew my chicks were in good hands! I loved the pictures she took and the delight she shared in caring for them. I would highly recommend her as a sitter!
As usual Kara was great with our pup. Tinker is a challenge and it was reassuring that Kara could handle any issues that come up...I would highly recommend her for anyone. I can't thank her enough. We will definitely be contacting her again to help with our trip plans. 5 Stars!
Hailey was a perfect pet sitter for my German shepherd and orange cat. We tried boarding them, but it was too stressful on all of us. Hailey made sure our first time using Rover went smoothly & was stress free. Her twice daily updates were always great to read and the sweet pictures she included helped us feel confident our babies were being taken care of. We are so grateful for Hailey and can’t wait to book with her again.
