I honestly can’t thank Kathleen enough for watching my baby! She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. I know my boy was loved. He played all weekend and was absolutely worn out after playing in Kathleen’s backyard all weekend. Aside from taking such great care of my boy, she was super flexible and understanding of my schedule. My plans had changed last minute and she ended up taking him a second night. We also got into town a little later than I thought and she was kind the entire time! Kathleen thank you so so much for making my weekend stress free and taking such amazing care of my fur baby!

About: Every pet is unique. I tailor my care plans to meet your pet's individual personality and needs, whether that means high-energy playtime or patience with a shy pet, always using a gentle, force-free approach. I offer 24/7 Furbo live camera access. My goal is to provide exceptional, worry-free care, treating your pet like family while ensuring their safety and happiness in your absence. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I am home the majority of the day, allowing me to provide a high level of attention and supervision for your pet. Unlike sitters with traditional 9-to-5 jobs, my flexible schedule means more playtime, more potty breaks, and consistent companionship for your furry family member. Pet-proofed my home securing trash bins, cover sharp corners, keep toilet lids down, and removing or locking away any toxic or dangerous items. I use baby gates and childproof locks to block off certain areas. I set up a comfortable, low-traffic area with an orthopedic bed and futon couch or if your pet needs to be kenneled or crated at night that can be offered as well. I ensure to use toys and chews that are appropriate for the pet's size and species. I do not have a fenced in yard but I will make sure your pet is using their collar/harness and leash when outside at all times.

I have left 1 review in my lifetime. I had to do another for Becca. She was amazing. I was looking last minute for pet care while we went on vacation because 2 of our cats required medicine. My cats are my babies so I was nervous to leave them with anyone but Becca will be my first call & recommendation for anyone looking for a sitter. She took our kitties into her home & was able to keep them in a really nice space, separate from her pets (what I requested). She administered shots & oral medication. She sent many updates & photos playing with the cats. Overall, Becca was very sweet & accommodating. 12/10!!!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals for some time now whether it be lizards, cats, dogs, or fish. Family and friends could always put their trust in me when I take care of their pets. I own a cat so I take care of him daily, feed him twice a day, give him toys, bathe him ever so often (depending if he goes outside), brush him because he has long fur. So he fits right in with my schedule and I give him cuddles all the time! I care for my pet everyday! I feed him twice a day ( morning and night) maybe a few treats, I’ll bathe him when needed but not too often cause it hurts their fur coat, clip his nails when needed, brush him just about everyday. I will especially give him cuddles whenever I see him!

HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.

About: Hi I’m Reise!! I am experienced with caring for cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and hamsters. I have rescued quite a few furry friends over the years and found them amazing FUR-EVER homes! ❤️ I’m not looking to foster at this time but wouldn’t mind boarding a dog or two here and there while their people are on vacation or work trips! I could also do house visits as well as walking. I’m really down for anything and love animals. I have 2 dogs right now but I love animals so much it’s my passion to make a small difference and find animals close to home to work with and take on walks while their owner may be busy. I’m a stay at home mom, so when I say I have the free time I really mean it and would love to help. I hope you choose me to care for your pet, I really look forward to talking with and meeting you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!! :) I am free all the time!!! I’m a stay at home mom. Sundays we usually have family time for a few hours and like to have breakfast all together.. other than that I am free! :) My dogs have a fenced in yard and run to ensure their safety while playing outside. It’s not that I feel my dogs are unsafe, but you never know how someone else’s dog walking by might react when there are dogs outside already. I use StarMark collars on my dogs, these collars guarantee that they won’t and can’t really slip away, these collars are great especially if your dog pulls, my dog used to pull a lot and I was able to get him to do great while walking. I love being able to work with dogs 1 on 1 at first so they can get learn to trust me and feel safe!! Both of my dogs are extremely friendly. Bear is the most gentle giant and Daisy is just the sweetest girl ever. I would love to get to know you & your animals.

Would have Tonja watch our dogs again and highly recommend. Both our dogs left happy and worn out from all the playing.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life, including family dogs such as 5 German Shepherds and 3 Chihuauas. I have been spending time with a trainer and foster community to get to know some wonderful dogs and their individualistic personalities. I currently owning a German Shepherd and Chow Chow, Golden Retriever mix. I have owned and helped both reactive dogs and the most gentle fur babies live to their fullest potential. I’ve helped care for family and family friends dogs of all sizes and love to either play with them, take them on walks or hang out with them where they find most comfortable. I’m a true animal lover at heart, they’re the biggest part of the person that I am today It’s important to get to know each and every animals personality and their likes and dislikes in life to truly help them flourish. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of flexibility with my schedule and would love to spend every waking moment I have with either my own pets or helping care for other animals within the community. I have a fenced in yard and 2 very dog friendly boys to keep your fur babies company. I have a connected heated and air conditioned garage turned workshop/room/dog hangout with toys and beds, food and water that I would love to hang out in with your pets. I am comfortable crating your dog if the owner would like, taking them for walks, plenty of play time, chilling watching tv or getting cuddles and pets. I am comfortable with any type of care for any breed of dog no matter what size or personality.

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and 3 chinchillas! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! With summer coming up we know that it’s going to be vacation time, you deserve to be able to enjoy and relax on vacation while knowing your animals are well taken care of. Me and my boyfriend work mornings and get lunch breaks half way through, so we’d be able to check on your animals even while working and we can be with them all afternoon. On Wednesdays and Thursdays we are both off so they’d get us all day! We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Starting at a young age, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and cleaning up after our family dogs. By the time I was 15, I began caring for a neighbor’s dog whenever they were out of town, building early experience in pet sitting and responsibility. Today, I’m 24 with dogs of my own, including one with medical needs, so I’m familiar with administering medication and maintaining a consistent care routine. In the summer of 2024, I even raised a litter of puppies, which deepened my understanding of early puppy development and the importance of socialization. From bathing and grooming to staying active with my pack, caring for dogs is a daily part of my life and something I’m deeply passionate about. Although I work full time during the week, my evenings are dedicated to spending quality time with my dogs. We enjoy walking, playing, and relaxing together. I’m also off on weekends, which gives me the perfect opportunity to help others who may be busy or working by making sure their dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I’m happy to offer weekend availability and evening flexibility to support both pets and their owners. I live on a spacious 2 acre property with a securely fenced in section of the yard dedicated to the dogs. The backyard is enclosed with three gates, each equipped with locks to ensure safety and prevent any clever pups from nudging them open. This setup provides a safe, open space for dogs to play, explore, and relax while giving owners peace of mind.

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.

About: Hi I’m Reise!! I am experienced with caring for cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and hamsters. I have rescued quite a few furry friends over the years and found them amazing FUR-EVER homes! ❤️ I’m not looking to foster at this time but wouldn’t mind boarding a dog or two here and there while their people are on vacation or work trips! I could also do house visits as well as walking. I’m really down for anything and love animals. I have 2 dogs right now but I love animals so much it’s my passion to make a small difference and find animals close to home to work with and take on walks while their owner may be busy. I’m a stay at home mom, so when I say I have the free time I really mean it and would love to help. I hope you choose me to care for your pet, I really look forward to talking with and meeting you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!! :) I am free all the time!!! I’m a stay at home mom. Sundays we usually have family time for a few hours and like to have breakfast all together.. other than that I am free! :) My dogs have a fenced in yard and run to ensure their safety while playing outside. It’s not that I feel my dogs are unsafe, but you never know how someone else’s dog walking by might react when there are dogs outside already. I use StarMark collars on my dogs, these collars guarantee that they won’t and can’t really slip away, these collars are great especially if your dog pulls, my dog used to pull a lot and I was able to get him to do great while walking. I love being able to work with dogs 1 on 1 at first so they can get learn to trust me and feel safe!! Both of my dogs are extremely friendly. Bear is the most gentle giant and Daisy is just the sweetest girl ever. I would love to get to know you & your animals.

I honestly can’t thank Kathleen enough for watching my baby! She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. I know my boy was loved. He played all weekend and was absolutely worn out after playing in Kathleen’s backyard all weekend. Aside from taking such great care of my boy, she was super flexible and understanding of my schedule. My plans had changed last minute and she ended up taking him a second night. We also got into town a little later than I thought and she was kind the entire time! Kathleen thank you so so much for making my weekend stress free and taking such amazing care of my fur baby!

About: Every pet is unique. I tailor my care plans to meet your pet's individual personality and needs, whether that means high-energy playtime or patience with a shy pet, always using a gentle, force-free approach. I offer 24/7 Furbo live camera access. My goal is to provide exceptional, worry-free care, treating your pet like family while ensuring their safety and happiness in your absence. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I am home the majority of the day, allowing me to provide a high level of attention and supervision for your pet. Unlike sitters with traditional 9-to-5 jobs, my flexible schedule means more playtime, more potty breaks, and consistent companionship for your furry family member. Pet-proofed my home securing trash bins, cover sharp corners, keep toilet lids down, and removing or locking away any toxic or dangerous items. I use baby gates and childproof locks to block off certain areas. I set up a comfortable, low-traffic area with an orthopedic bed and futon couch or if your pet needs to be kenneled or crated at night that can be offered as well. I ensure to use toys and chews that are appropriate for the pet's size and species. I do not have a fenced in yard but I will make sure your pet is using their collar/harness and leash when outside at all times.

I have left 1 review in my lifetime. I had to do another for Becca. She was amazing. I was looking last minute for pet care while we went on vacation because 2 of our cats required medicine. My cats are my babies so I was nervous to leave them with anyone but Becca will be my first call & recommendation for anyone looking for a sitter. She took our kitties into her home & was able to keep them in a really nice space, separate from her pets (what I requested). She administered shots & oral medication. She sent many updates & photos playing with the cats. Overall, Becca was very sweet & accommodating. 12/10!!!
