About: Hi y’all! I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals since I was 10 years old. I grew up on a farm for several years of my life and I got to care for many different animals! Cats, dogs, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, and a pony. I’ve also helped family and friends with their farm animals and pets as well. Friends, neighbors, family, and some strangers have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind while they’re away. My last dog Buddy was actually 15 years old and I learned to take care of him very well. He has since passed away but my experiences and memories with him has made my love of animals grow even more! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet’s needs while providing reliable, consistent care and attention. I love all animals so they will all be getting the love and attention they need and want from me. I could cuddle all day🥰 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions I’m given regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure around me. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to my surroundings and your pet’s behavior to ensure they remain safe at all times when they are with me. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away from your fur babies.

“Rhoda did such an amazing job taking care of my baby! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and really gave me peace of mind while traveling. She also kept my place very clean and was a great house sitter. I highly recommend Rhoda!!”

About: Hi, I’m Troy ! I’ve been the trusted, go-to pet sitter for my friends and family for years, specializing in multi-day house sitting for both dogs and cats. Throughout my life, I have rescued multiple dogs—including large breeds—and have extensive experience managing complex health needs ranging from severe skin conditions and allergies to senior dogs dealing with cancer. Because of this, I am completely comfortable following precise medical schedules and specialized diets. Whether your pet needs a high-energy walk, an active play session, or just a patient, loving companion to maintain their comfort and routine while you are away, I treat every animal I watch like my own family! As a recent college graduate I have a lot of free time. I am currently waiting for online grad school to start up. I couldn’t think of a better way to make a living than to help take care of our furry friends. I love cats and dogs and have lived with both for my whole life and taken care of family and friends pets for years. With my schedule being so open I am more than comfortable and available to cat or dog sit for multiple days, for routine walks throughout the week, and even for simple play and interaction whenever needed! Your pet's safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. When caring for your furry family member in your home, I treat your space with total respect and strictly adhere to your established household routines to keep their stress levels low. Because of my extensive background with rescues and high-needs pets, I am incredibly observant, hyper-vigilant about locking doors/gates, and completely comfortable following precise medication or dietary instructions. You can count on me for regular, transparent communication and plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, secure, and loved just like they are my own.

“This was the first time we used Rover and we are very pleased. Erin was fantastic. She was very responsible, and communicative and responded to our texts very quickly. She loves animals and immediately took to our dachshunds and they really liked her as well. The pups were great when we arrived home and our house looked like we never left. I would definitely use Erin again if need be and highly recommend her.”

About: I am an experienced kennel technician/vet tech assistant! I am comfortable handling and administering medications, know how to handle picky eaters, and I know what to look for with appetite and potty habits for health monitoring. I am especially experienced in caring for senior fur babies with arthritis, it is my goal with them to always make sure they are comfortable and are as active as they want to be. I even have experience in caring for diabetic fur babies. No matter the scenario my goal is to look after any fur kid as if they were my own, making sure they get nothing but the best and are as happy and healthy as they can be! I am a full time zookeeper, and I work 4 days a week! That leaves me three full days of extra time to devote to anyone’s fur babies and make new friends! Unfortunately the complex I live at does not allow me to care for pets that do not belong to me in my unit; however, in a clients home it is my goal to follow all instructions provided to me! I monitor them for as long as I am with them, and aside from usual care duties I enjoy getting to spend time with them to give them stimulation but also to make sure they still feel loved, including play time if they are feeling playful! It is my goal to always remain in communication with the parents, and if I am every unsure of anything I will ask them first. For walking dogs, I do not live far from Lettuce Lake if the parents would like them to go on a long walk, or just simply tell me if there is a route they prefer. I do always want to make sure I ask about their behavior around other dogs and people as I know this can affect where and how they are walked, but at the end of the day safety is my number 1 goal!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life, so caring for animals isn’t something I’m just trying out—it’s something that has been part of my life for decades. I’ve cared for pets at every stage, from energetic puppies and curious kittens to older pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. One experience that especially shaped how I care for animals was adopting a geriatric dog whose owners had passed away. Taking on an older dog taught me that sometimes the best pet care is simply being patient, paying attention to the little things, and making an animal feel safe and comfortable. What I bring to pet sitting is that same mindset. I want your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away—not like they're being "watched" by a stranger. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, quirks, and needs, and I treat every pet as an individual. Whether your dog wants to play all day, your cat prefers to observe from across the room, or your senior pet needs a slower pace and extra TLC, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’m happy to work around their normal routines, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and downtime. When house sitting, I’m able to make your pet a priority while still maintaining a normal daily routine. I understand that every pet is different—some need lots of activity and attention, while others are happiest with a quiet, comfortable presence nearby. My goal is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pets and home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine, and I follow the owner’s instructions and the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs before their owner leaves. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual, particularly with senior pets who may require a little extra observation. When house sitting, I keep the home secure, clean up after the pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable, safe, and confident while they’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with pets in my home at all times, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, helped with basic dog training, and gained hands-on experience pet sitting for many furry, scaly, and feathered friends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or daily care, I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to keeping pets happy and safe. I am a student, so I’m in class Monday–Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Outside of school hours, I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m extremely loving and always put each pet’s needs first. I provide attentive care, plenty of affection, and make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

“My animals love KC. She takes wonderful care of them while we’re gone… maybe a little too well because they don’t seem to miss us! Lol. I love receiving pictures of them all cuddling on the couch and on their daily walks. We hope to rebook in the future during our next trip!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me! I currently have a dachshund of my own and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your fur baby. 🐾 My healthcare background has made me attentive, responsible, patient, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. I’m also knowledgeable in dog CPR, adding an extra level of safety and preparedness while your pet is in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own! ❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pet with the attention and care they deserve! I’m available Monday–Friday after 5 PM, as well as on weekends. After work, I often take my own dachshund to the dog park for exercise, playtime, and fresh air, so I’d love to incorporate your pup into my active routine when appropriate. 🐾 Whether your pet needs an evening walk, drop-in visit, playtime, or weekend care, I’m happy to work with their normal schedule and routine. My goal is to make pet care convenient for you and fun and comfortable for them! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I treat every dog as carefully and lovingly as I would my own. My dachshund, Jasper, is friendly and loves having canine company, making him a great companion for dogs who enjoy socializing and playtime. Of course, I always follow each owner’s preferences regarding interactions with other pets. I keep a close eye on dogs while they’re in my care and never leave them unattended in situations where their safety could be at risk. I pay attention to behavior, energy levels, surroundings, and signs that a dog may need a break or extra attention. I also carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions. With my healthcare background and knowledge of dog CPR, I’m comfortable staying calm and attentive in unexpected situations. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and loved! 🐾❤️

“Isabella did a great job taking care of my two dogs and my home while we were on vacation for a week. My dogs were happy when we got home. Isabella made sure the house looked great too! I would recommend her without hesitation!”

“Can I just say WOW...this girl is amazing. She took care of our beautiful girl (dog) for our 5 day trip. She walked her 3 times a day, snuggled, played, and gave her lots of attention. I was a bit concerned after the last girl who pupper sat - and Alexus took all those concerns away. She left our house clean like she wasn't even there! I would love to say no don't use her so I can have her anytime I want, but I have to share her greatness with dogs. Thank you Alexus for being such a great help and taking care of Sadie.”
