“Melissa was great! This was my first Rover experience so I really had no idea what to expect but melissa went above and beyond my expectations! She put me at ease while she watched my babies and provided updates while I was away!”

About: I have 3 dogs, a labradoodle named Rufus, an Aussie named Letty, and a golden named Mable. When I was young I started sitting for family friends to get to spend time with their dogs, and I will do everything I can to make sure your animals are cared for! I am a part time worker and a full time student during the week, but my weekends are open and my weeknights are available. I am flexible for quick stop-ins or longer sitting. I do my best to personalize my work to fit your and your pets specific needs, I have experience with all types of animals— big and small.
“Our usual boarding kennel lost our reservation and we had to find a new sitter last minute for a long weekend trip. Saul to the rescue! He made time to meet our chicken pittie ahead of time to make him comfortable. He clearly has plenty of experience and knowledge and I immediately felt comfortable leaving our fur babies in his care. Honestly, he probably took better care of them than even we do! Even though we had spotty phone service, he sent regular updates and photos so we knew how everything was going and was patient with our slow responses. As far as the house goes I think he left it cleaner than we did! I'd absolutely recommend Saul, especially if you have a pup with a unique personality because he handles them all!”

“We did a one night away and one of our dogs recently had surgery so needed care other than our typical place we go so went with Daniel. He is great with dogs and sends messages and pictures during the time you are gone.”

“We needed a pet sitter for our big vacation, and we really like Samantha after having her pet sit several times now. She did a great job of keeping the cats happy while also staying in our home so we knew the house was ok as well. We get pictures and updates, and she always responds quickly if we check in.”

“Sarah made sure that all of our pets were taken care of and received tons of love and attention while we were away. She is also experienced with caring for rabbits so I knew that our bunny was in good hands and would be able to exercise his legs. I highly recommend her and will be booking her for future pet sitting needs!”

In a client’s home, I respect the space while ensuring pets receive consistent care, enrichment, and companionship. In my home, pets are given a calm, safe environment with supervision, structured routines, and positive reinforcement. With my veterinary technician experience and animal care and dog training certifications, I’m able to administer medications, support training, care for puppies, and provide gentle, attentive care for senior pets.

“I was a little apprehensive about leaving my fur babies for 9 days, but Abigail put me completely at ease. She came over and did a meet and greet and was very attentive to the boys. While we were away, she kept in close contact and sent many pictures. When I got back, not only were the boys we'll taken care of, but my house was spotless! I will definitely be using Abigail again and would strongly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a sitter.”
“Jess was wonderful and very caring for my dog Wiley. I got multiple updates a day and she was very thorough. She left my home clean and tidy and I would absolutely recommend her services.”

“Imani went above and beyond taking care of our two large pups. The house was tidy when we came home and they even helped get the snow off the driveway for our return. She sent pictures throughout the stay of the pups and took them on walks and played with them outside in the backyard as well.”

“Hailey was great and really helped me out after a sitter cancelled last minute. My dog really liked her and I liked seeing pictures and knowing how she was doing while I was away”

About: Hi! I’m a full-time Veterinary Technician with a passion for animal care both in and out of the clinic. I have hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I bring medical knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine compassion to every pet-sitting job. Whether your pet needs extra care, medication, or just a loving presence while you’re away, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, capable hands. I treat every pet like family—because they are. 🐾 Please read carefully: As a full-time veterinary technician, I have a unique advantage when it comes to pet care. My schedule allows me the flexibility to either bring certain pets with me (when appropriate and permitted) or to stop in during my shift for walks, feeding, or medication visits. Because I’m close by and experienced in managing time around animal care, I’m able to check in on pets regularly and ensure they stay on their routine. I’m fully committed to providing dependable, attentive care, even on workdays. Housesitting: I work full-time at a Veterinary Hospital, which means I’m typically away for about 8 hours* Monday through Friday. For that reason, pets who are comfortable being left alone for that length of time usually fit best with my schedule. *House sitting typically covers up to 12-16 hours, rather than a full 24. If your pet needs 24hr care, I’m happy to discuss adding another booking or adjusting the stay to fit their needs. Drop-in: I’m usually available for 2–3 drop-ins per day, with each visit lasting about 30 minutes. This includes •Feeding •Walking •Medication administration •Photo updates If you’d like longer visits, or have special requests I’m happy to discuss additional time or requests. Please review Rover pricing before booking. I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions carefully. From feeding and walks to playtime and medication. I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My veterinary background allows me to notice and respond quickly to any changes in behavior or health, so your pet is always in caring and capable hands.

As a teacher and coach, I’m incredibly patient, organized, and how to adapt to different needs—which helps me handle everything from playful puppies to older pets who need extra care and attention. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family with someone. I’ll love and care for them like they’re my own! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! As a teacher and track coach, I have a structured schedule that allows me to plan ahead and give pets the attention they deserve. I’m an early riser thanks to marathon training, so morning feedings, walks, or playtime are easy for me to fit in. My evenings and weekends are often open, giving me plenty of time for drop-ins, snuggles, or longer visits. Any holiday break or extended weekend is often open as well! The summers are WIDE open since school is closed. I already care for my own two dogs and a cat, so adding more furry friends into my week is something I truly enjoy!

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and follow all instructions closely. I make sure your pet feels comfortable, whether that means lots of play or giving them space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry friend is doing!
“We would definitely recommend Deanna to watch your animals and home. She did a wonderful job with our three dogs and two cats and all of our animals loved her. We received frequent updates during our vacation and really appreciated how well taken care of everything was. We would definitely use her again!”
