About: I've cared for many pets during my life including exotics, cats, dogs, and birds in all age groups from babies to seniors. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am currently retired with my husband. We eschool our twin boys during the day. I can pop out to do pet care and have a flexible schedule. We do travel a lot during school breaks and in the summer. I am eager to help out with home visits or walks. I enjoy all kinds of pets and don't shy away from those who need special care. Typically I visit dogs in their homes three times per day at whatever schedule works best for the pet and me. Some may need more or less visits and I can be flexible. I do not care for dogs or cats in my home. My two cats don't like other pets, unless it's a pet that lives in a small crate or cage, such as a guinea pig.
About: I grew up on a farm caring for cow, pigs, cats, birds, fish, and rabbits. I now live in town but still continue my love for animals with my dog, rabbit, 2 parakeets, and 3 fish. I also regularly pet and house sit for family and friends and am ready to share my love for animals outside of my circle I do currently work full time during the week 9-5 and 3rd shift Friday and Saturday nights 11pm-7am. I am free to walk or check on pets 7 am-8:45 am and mist nights from 5 pm - 11 pm. I just schedule around dropping my daughter off at practices. I do work from hone during the week so I can also work from someone’s house or cone on lunch breaks if additional care is needed. Unable to do sleepovers on Friday and Saturday night. I take my elderly dog out multiple times a day for short walks as he can’t walk very far and play his favorite laser fame with him whenever he asks for it . He is very spoiled and sleeps with me everynight. My bunny is pretty young so still working on socializing her, handling her every day and taking outside for playtime. Feed, water, and clean cages out daily.
“Olivia went above and beyond. She made sure we had no worries during our trip. Would highly recommend and will be rebooking! Grateful to have found someone we can truly trust.”

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a passionate dog lover with experience caring for pups of all kinds, including special needs dogs and those with behavioral challenges. I’m currently completing a dog training certification and am excited to combine my knowledge with hands on care to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large fenced backyard for outdoor fun and a dedicated dog room that doubles as an indoor enrichment and play area. For downtime or when I’m at work, dogs can rest comfortably in a 4x6 kennel within the dog room. My schedule follows a school calendar, so I’m home by 2:30 PM and off during the summer, perfect for lots of walks, playtime, and attention! Whether your dog needs a calm environment, extra enrichment, or some guidance with tricky behaviors, I’d love to provide a safe and loving home away from home. I follow a school schedule, so I’m home by 2:30 PM on weekdays and off during the summer. This allows me to provide plenty of walks, playtime, and enrichment for dogs, or quiet attention and care for cats. While I’m at work, dogs have a comfortable 4x6 kennel in a dedicated dog room, and the room doubles as an indoor play and enrichment space when the weather isn’t ideal. I can accommodate any requests that a client may have regarding their pets care. I always ensure to care for their pets as I would my own. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate as much time as needed to my clients.
About: Hi, I’m Katelyn! A little about me - I’m a wife, mom of 3, and of course an avid animal lover which is what led me to Rover. I have experience with small to large breeds and from puppies to seniors. I live on two acres of land, however none of it is fenced in so pets that are in my care will be leashed during any and all outdoor time. My home is very clean and well kept! My schedule is open and flexible. I am reliable, experienced, and pay close attention to detail. So please, feel free to give me any and all details that I will need to make sure that your fur baby is happy, accommodated, and comfortable. Pets in my care mostly have free range of the house when they are with me. Crated only if I need to leave. Potty breaks are given as often as they’re needed. I will watch for their ques and also take them out often. I send daily updates with pictures/videos so that pet parents are always informed on how their pets are doing during their time with me. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
“I have a puppy and Lisa was able to come take care of him twice a day while I was at work and on short notice, she sent me pictures and kept my worry at a minimum while I was gone. I came home to a puppy who was fed and happier than he would have been otherwise. Ill definitely be using her again!”

“Tim is not only friendly and easy to work with, he’s very knowledgeable of dog behavior, needs, and training. My dog, Zoe, instantly took to him. During his pop in visits, Tim makes sure that she gets a little exercise in along with her potty break.”
“Michele was great watching our 2 large dogs for 2 days while we were out of town. She communicated the whole time with updates and photos. Gave great peace of mind!”

“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”

“Jayson did absolutely amazing with my 3 pups this week and they get excited to see him for their drop in visits! I’m glad they didn’t scare him away so he can keep doing drop in visits with them 🐶🐶🐶”


About: I've worked as a vet assistant so medications and treatments do not scare me. I have had my own pets my entire life. I can do basic training and work well with pets of all ages. I'm going to take care of them as if they were my own. I work as a Realtor so I have extensive background checks and stick to a strict code of ethics in everything I do. I have flexibility to work with my animals every day and will do the same with you I will follow your rules to a T. I will make sure your pet has all their needs met. From walks, baths if needed, feeding, training and playing I will do whatever it takes to make your loved ones happy and safe
About: Hi! I'm Christie! I grew up with dogs and cats and I love them both! I started training dogs for shows about 18 years ago and have completed an apprenticeship in dog training. I thoroughly enjoy any time I can get with any pets that I can! I'm currently working four days a week, but I am available Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday. I'm hoping to go part time soon and expand my hours for pet care! I prefer to care for animals in their normal environment - if their person is gone, that's enough stress! I love spending time outside, especially with dogs or cats. Walks are my favorite!
About: I have over ten years of experience taking care of animals. I grew up always having a dog and outdoor cat since I am allergic to cats. I have experience with bigger dogs such as a Great Dane and small dogs such as a Morkie! I love dogs, but I also have experience taking care of chickens, ducks, and cows. Others types of animals I have experience with include puppies and older dogs. Currently I am a full-time teacher, but I will be working from home starting in June. I will be able to let the dogs out twice as much as needed starting then. I am loving, caring, and want the dogs to feel comfortable in my home and in your home when I am pet sitting for you.
