About: Dogs are our family and I will treat them as so. I have taken care of other families dogs since I was 12 and have had dogs since I was 3. I am a big dog fan and love any breed. I am a student so my schedule is very flexible in between classes. I can take care of animals before and after my classes if needed. I will always respect your house and your rules that you set inside your home. Please make me aware of any rules you would like respected.
About: I've grown up with a love of all animals and have had at least one dog or cat in the family for as long as I can remember. My mom managed a boarding and training kennel and took me to work with her every day, where I not only assisted her with the daily tasks, but also learned about caring for animals of all types and sizes. I started pet sitting for family and friends around the age of 10, and also was responsible for taking care of the pets in our home. I take my animals out for regular playtime and bathroom breaks, clean up the yard, and feed and water as needed. We have an older dog so I've also gotten comfortable with administering medication, whether it's chewable, hiding pills in treats, or injecting into the animal itself. I was bit by the pet lover bug at an early age, and it's become a huge passion in my life. My schedule is open and ready to accommodate any of your pet sitting needs. I have reliable transportation so I can either stay overnight to pet sit for you or stop by for a quick check-in or playtime. I will treat your dog or cat like a member of my own fur family.I am comfortable feeding, crating, and administering medicine as needed. I will put the safety of your animals above everything else, so rest assured your pets are my top priority.
About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’ve been around animals my entire life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. I have a one-year-old pup of my own and know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to treat your pet like one of my own! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time throughout the week for pet care—whether it’s quick check-ins, longer stays, or daily visits. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime or walks, and receive any medications if needed.
“Wonderful sitters! Joyce and her husband took such good care of our 4 dogs. We were really happy that they were able to come to our home multiple times per day in order to feed water and play with our 4 sweethearts. And Joyce was able to take 1 dog to the vet to look at an injury that occurred PRIOR to her starting; the dogs paw got caught in something right before we were scheduled to leave for vacation. Luckily, his paw was fine. I cannot say enough about how pleased we were and are with the house/pet sitting by Joyce!”
“We had the pleasure of having Heather take care of our sweet golden at the last minute on a holiday weekend while attending a family funeral. I was a nervous wreck to leave my girl with someone strange but Heather took the leash and handled everything professionally. Her communication (pics included) put me at ease. She was great - went above and beyond - and if I lived in that beautiful area I would hire her often and feel right at ease.”
“I was kind of in between a rock and a hard place.. I had to go out of town in a week, and didn’t want to leave my dog in a kennel again.. he has special needs and kennels have too many dogs to pay special attention to him so I tried Rover... My request for assistance was accepted right away. I was always able to reach the sitters and they sent me updates and statuses ... definitely recommend Cheyannes assistance if you need a sitter”

With my dogs I usually feed them separately incase if food aggression, but I can follow any rules that pet owners need for their furry friends.

She regularly checks on my 11 month old puppy on days that I work. In addition to feeding and exercising, she works with him on commands that he learned from an obedience training program. She is responsible, always making sure he is in his kennel and the door is locked when she leaves. She keeps her appointments and is thorough in her care. Koda absolutely loves her and enjoys the attention she gives when she is checking on him. I highly recommend Ashlen as a pet caregiver.”
