“Yu Bing gave exceptional service. It was my first time using rover and she thoroughly explained what the service would look like and took personal time to get to know Nala and her tendencies before booking the service. She also sent periodic photos and updates throughout the house sitting”

“Meaghan was great! Our dogs absolutely loved her and had a great time during our absence. She was timely, communicative, and had no issues with our anxious pups and their many needs. We can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely rebook with her!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting and walking dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes since I was 10. I have experience with puppies as well as administering any medication needed for your older babies. I have always loved animals and I promise to treat yours like I do my own 😊 I am patient and not afraid of a challenge! My schedule is extremely flexible as I am taking a gap year from in person classes. I will make my hours around your convenience 😊 I care for each animal differently depending on their needs. I am very experienced in administering medication as well as basic training (sit, shake, heel, etc.) If in home persisting is needed I will respect your animals and home as I would my own (and I keep my animals very happy and home very clean 👌🏻). If overnight stay is needed, I am happy to provide basic housekeeping as well as attending to your fur babies needs. If you are searching for a dog-walker, I have over 10 years of experience both with my own dog and others. Rest assured I will go at your animal’s pace and take great care to maintain a safe environment with plenty of sunshine and fun! I will also play fetch or any other activities your dog enjoys 🥰 I am very flexible with my services and will tailor to your specific needs. Feel free to ask any questions!

“Amanda gives my old boy, Gilbert, good care. I know he is well taken care of when I need to be away. She is sweet, kind and compassionate towards animals. Will definitely book her again.”

“Lisa did an awesome job caring for my two dogs while I was on vacation. She sent daily updates and I came home to a clean house. She also took care of my mail and kept all of my plants alive! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs, and will definitely be calling her again.”

“Aarron was such a lifesaver!! He helped me out last minute! He definitely took great care of my BIG BABY, who doesn’t like to be alone. I will definitely be reaching out to him in the future for help.”
About: I've always been great with animals. Whenever I was 10 I had a tuxedo cat who needed medication for failing kidneys, I was the only one who could administer her pills swiftly. I've dealt with high energy dogs like labs and stubborn dogs like my 100 pound pitbull. My schedule is flexible at the moment. My kids are grown and I'm looking to stay actively busy. I love outdoors so walks and playing outside would be ideal. I am an empathetic and nurturing person. I have always cared for animals and people alike. I have raised 5 daughters and 3 are in the army.
“Amber was absolutely wonderful. She stayed at our home with the two cats for 5 nights and took such great care of them and our home. She sent lots of pictures and updates. She was so responsive, and so kind and easy to talk to. Highly highly recommend Amber!”

About: I grew up working on a farm, and since coming to college, I’ve continued caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from large, medium, small, and exotic. For large animals I cared for horses and cows. I have hands on experience with daily care routines including early morning and late night feedings, catching and handling, mixing and measuring feed and medications, water changes, brushing, injury care and reporting, hoof care, and bathing. I also have experience exercising horses on lead ropes and riding them. For medium animals I have experience with pigs and goats. My responsibilities included feeding and watering, bottle feeding babies when needed, milking goats, changing bedding, and providing hay or pine straw. In colder weather, I ensured animals were brought in from pasture and had proper shelter and heating. For small animals my experience is with chickens and meat rabbits. I’ve cared for chickens and rabbits by feeding, watering, brushing, cleaning cages and coops, collecting eggs, and securing them safely at night. For cats and dogs, I have experience with rescues, reactive pets, and both high and low maintenance animals. For dogs, I have experience with all ages from young puppies to older seniors, indoor, outdoor and working dogs more specifically hunting dogs. This includes feeding (kibble, raw, fresh food), administering oral and topical medications, walking, playing, kennel cleaning, training exercises, nail trimming, bathing, brushing, coat care, and post surgery care. For cats, I provide food and water, administer oral and topical medications, clean litter boxes, and offer post-surgery care. I also engage in play, provide brushing and coat care, and have experience walking cats when needed. While I haven’t administered injections, I’m comfortable doing so with proper instruction. For aquatic animals I have cared for fish and turtles.I have experience with freshwater aquariums and ponds, including water treatment, testing, water changes, and feeding. I’m open to learning about saltwater care. For reptiles and exotic pet I have experience with bearded dragons and snakes. I cared for a friend’s bearded dragon for five months, during which I upgraded her tank and lighting, took her to the vet, and managed her diet (veggies, fruits, crickets, roaches, mealworms), tank cleaning, and shedding care. I’ve also cared for non-venomous and low-venomous snakes for friends, including feeding (live and thawed frozen), water changes, and warm soaks during shedding. While I haven’t owned a snake yet, I’ve done extensive research and feel confident handling them with proper guidance. For birds I have limited experience with birds but am comfortable caring for them with detailed instructions and a walkthrough from the owner. As a college student, I’ve built my schedule to allow time for pet care throughout the week. I have one class on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:00 to 2:15 PM, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have four classes between 8:30 AM and 2:15 PM, with breaks in between. These gaps give me flexibility to check in on pets, handle feedings, walks, or other care tasks during the day. Outside of class hours, I’m available in the mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to maintain consistent routines for animals that need daily attention. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Growing up on a farm and continuing to care for animals throughout college has made it second nature to prioritize their needs. I’m used to early mornings and late evenings dedicated to feeding, cleaning, and checking on animals. I regularly schedule time for walks, play, grooming, and health checks, and I’m comfortable adapting my routine to meet the specific needs of each pet—whether it’s administering medication, handling post-surgery care, or simply spending quality time with them. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. Since I’m only allowed to have fish in my current housing, all of my pet care takes place in my clients’ homes. I take this responsibility seriously and always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for the pets I care for. I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, clean up after pets, and ensure they have fresh water, clean bedding, and a safe environment. I also pay close attention to the pet’s behavior and health, and I communicate regularly with the owner to provide updates and peace of mind. In the event of an emergency, I stay calm and act quickly. I contact the pet owner immediately, follow any emergency instructions they’ve provided, and seek veterinary care if needed. I keep a list of local emergency vets and pet hospitals on hand, and I’m comfortable making judgment calls when a pet’s health or safety is at risk. My goal is always to protect the pet and keep the owner informed every step of the way. Whether I’m caring for a pet for a few hours or several days, I treat every animal and home with the same respect, attention, and care I would give my own.
“Dorothy was amazing with Jazmine and Charlie. Jazmine got extra cuddles, Charlie received some training. You always know when you get home if they were well loved. My house was just as I left it even though I had been gone 7 days and she had two dogs to manage. Thank you Dorothy for everything!”

“Jonathan did a great job. Dogs got comfortable with him pretty quickly. They are usually shy and take at least a day or so to warm up, but it was just a few hours for him. House looked just like we left it! Highly recommend Jonathan!”

“Karly was awesome! She took care of my two big fur babies. Catering to them as I would! She even took one to the emergency vet and spent hours waiting to be seen due to it being the weekend. She took care of the pups as well as my house. I will definitely call on her again.”

“Meron was great! She watched our pups and home while we were away for the weekend and did an amazing job. She was very friendly during the meet and greet with our dogs and us. She arrived and left perfectly on time. She communicated well the entire time, asking any questions she had and sending pics of our dogs the whole time. She also took great care of our home. We will definitely use her again for any pet sitting needs we have!”

“Lucas was a great sitter! He was very attentive to our pets, we felt like they were well taken care of! He sent a lot of pictures and videos which we appreciated! His dog, Bo Peep, is the sweetest and was fantastic company to our dogs!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a kid, and now at age 45, you could definitely do worse for someone to take care of your pup. I am available for boarding, house sitting (dependent upon the situation), doggy daycare and/or walks. As a retiree, I have all of the time needed to properly care for your pet. I am currently a dog owner, so your pup will have company. I have a large, fenced in yard, with plenty of shade. I primarily keep my dog in the home, so your pup will have as much time in or outside as he/she prefers.

“Valerie did an awesome job with our two Boxer babies. She did a couple of meet and greets prior to the gig starting to make sure our dogs were comfortable with her and she with them. We got updates along with pictures. When we arrived home, they seemed like they barely missed us. I would definitely recommend using Valerie.”
About: I have taken care of various dog breeds of all ages since I was 11 years old. I also plenty of experience with cats, I currently have a cat and small dog of my own so I know what it takes to care for pets and will treat your pets as my own and give them the love care and attention you would. I currently do not work so I have a very flexible schedule, I do have a grade school child but am completely free weekdays from 9am-2pm. Weekends my schedule is also very flexible but will have a little less time available due to dedicating time with my child. Overall I am very flexible and willing to work around both our schedules and needs. I am very trustworthy and will respect the privacy of your home and family while present. I will provide a safe environment and companionship, play time, or any care necessary for your pets.
