My puppy ended up giving her some troubles by going potty in her house. I offered to give her extra for the trouble as I didn’t expect him to do that. When I went to pick him up she said she would love to watch him again and they had fun with him. I will definitely be asking her again to watch my puppy when needed!

We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our first time leaving our pup. The care and attention given to our dog was absolutely amazing. It was so clear how much they genuinely loved him and treated him like their own. They even had a welcome sign with a menu and activities. It was adorable. We received thoughtful updates, pictures, and constant reassurance that he was happy and well cared for. Picking up a relaxed, content boy says everything. We are beyond grateful and would trust Kris & Eric again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕

About: I have been caring for all kinds of pets for my entire life. This includes dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens and many other warm and cold blooded critters raising 4 kids! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats as well as 10 chickens that I currently care for and they are all spoiled members of the family. I am a work from home mom. I have a very flexible schedule and will accommodate any requirements for others schedules. I will answer any inquiries promptly and notify if there is a potential conflict. I will care for your pet based on your instructions which I will request when we make arrangements. I typically walk our dogs at 2-4 hour intervals. Animals are welcome on our sofa or any of the dog beds throughout our home. We live adjacent to a park and in a secluded and quiet neighborhood.

Robin was very understanding with our dog, Tabitha's needs - with her in mourning after the recent passing of our other dog, her closest companion and with us needing to be away from home for 8 days. Robin listened to all of the details of feeding and meds. Then she stayed in contact with us, updating us on Tabitha's adjustment to her new surroundings, sending great pics and playing the games she likes to play (FRISBE!) Robin was also VERY accomodating with our crazy flight schedules on drop off & pick up. Tabitha had such a good time she has returned to her joyful self! I highly reccomend Robin and she will be the first person we will reach out to the next time we need a dog sitter!

About: Dogs have been part of my family for most of my life. I enjoy finding out what their personality is like as well as what their preferences for play/affection are. I recently retired from my job so I have very flexible schedule now. i will have time available to help people out with pet care. When caring for others pets, I ensure all of their needs are taken care of. My yard is not fenced in, so if they are staying with me I will take dogs out in my yard on their leash. I am a runner so I can run with them if they enjoy that type of activity. There is plenty of room where I live for running and walking!

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, I bring both deep personal commitment and professional insight to every pet I care for. My background includes working in a veterinary clinic in an administrative role, where I gained valuable knowledge of animal health, client communication, and the importance of attentive, compassionate care. I have shared my home with several senior pets over the years and understand the patience, gentleness, and specialized attention they require. Elderly animals hold a special place in my heart, and I am especially attuned to their comfort, routines, and medical needs. Your pets will be cared for with the same thoughtfulness, reliability, and respect I give my own.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was at least 10 years old. I have pet sat, walked, fed, bathed, and helped provide basic training for friends, family, and neighbors who relied on me to care and love for their pets. Animals have always been a big part of my life! They love unconditionally and deserve to be spoiled with walks, play, love and treats!! My own pets and experiences with other animals has brought me so much joy that I want to give back to those animals that live in my community! I work as a teacher Monday-Friday so during the week I’m only available in the evening. Weekends are much more open! However, once summer hits I will be available during the day, evening, and weekends! I have had experience with dogs and cats as pets! When I had dogs I would provide daily walks, feedings twice a day, water, and of course daily plays. On top of that, grooming was a top priority to keep them clean and brushed so their coat and skin is well cared for. I currently have two cats! They are fed twice a day and their liter boxes are emptied every day as well. They are brushed regularly. They are inside kitties and play with the toys provided to them and take lots of cat naps between sun bathing in the sunlight! ☺️

About: Hi! I’m a full-time registered nurse looking to pick up some side gigs doing what I already love—caring for animals. I have a strong medical background and bring a calm, attentive, and responsible approach to pet care, including pets with medical needs or special instructions. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve personally cared for cats and dogs for over 5+ years and feel comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s walks or drop-ins, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I work as a Registered Nurse and find that working with animals helps recharge my compassion and social battery before my next shift. I work 3-4 days a week and like having the flexibility to pick up jobs through Rover when I am available. Each of my cats have their own special needs. I am comfortable giving medications to your pets if needed as well as brushing, bathing, going on walks, and of course giving lots of love and affection. I use a pet sitter myself when I am out of town and know how important it is to pawrents that their babies are safe. No matter the pet, big or small, I'm happy that you would trust me to care for them while you're away!

About: Hello pet parents my name is Tori! I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH MORE THAN JUST DOGS AND CATS SUCH AS CHICKENS AND DUCKS !! I am 20 years old and I LOVE animals!! Due to my Army career I live in a lot with my wife, my dog, and my kitten. Taking care of animals is my calling! I have now been in the Army for two years. I joined to further pursue my college education and become a veterinarian in the future. Iam extremely passionate about the care that animals receive. I have volunteered for lots of shelters since i was young to learn all about animals and their needs, so it is my duty to ensure that your fur baby is well taken care of. Being that i worked with a lot of trained animal handlers, I have experience with animals who have many special needs such as diabetes, aids, cancer, seniors, etc. I also have experience with many different ages and breeds of dogs/cats. I previously worked at a groomers and volunteered at a pet shelter. At both establishments I fed the animals, bathed them, played with them, and took them out for restroom breaks. | love to stay active so I go on a daily walk/run and I would love for your pet to accompany me. I have plenty of room in my schedule to spend quality time with your pet. This would include going to the park, play time, and even cuddle time! While you are gone from your sweet fur baby, I will be available for communication 80% of the time. I am more than happy to send updates on how your pet is doing upon request. I am extremely excited to be pet sitting again as l did this before I joined the military. I work from 9-5 for the time being until my shift changes but am truly excited to be able to rush home and care for your pets. I will always keep you updated on my schedule being that my hours change every 3 months. Anything that makes you and your pets comfortable I am more than happy to do. The less stress there is for you and your fur baby the better! I am here for your needs!!

About: I'm a work from home professional with flexible hours. I have a 3 bedroom house with a large fenced in yard for puppies to run and potty (freely). I've cared for/owned dogs for over 15 years and make sure they stick to their routine of potty breaks/feeding/treat time! I don't mind coming to ones home and caring for their pets while they are away on business or enjoying some free time! I understand last minute trips and can squeeze you into my schedule. Every family member I have + most friends have dogs so I'm very familiar with how to care for and entertain pets whom I am new to! I'm so excited this is an option for extra income and I hope to meet your pups soon!

I have owned animals my entire life and currently am "mom" to two German Shepherds, two Great Pyrenees, One Australian Shepherd' a rabbit, and a flock of chickens. Furthermore, I am a retired service member that has traveled extensively for extended periods of time, so I know from experience how important it is to find the right person that is trustworthy enough bring into my home to care for and love my pets. As I stated, I am a retired Army Non Commissioned Officer. And It has been my dream for quite some time to work with animals in this capacity. So I am now a full time pet care professional. I understand that it can be difficult for an animal when their humans are gone and I will lovingly and patiently establish trust and create bond with your pet so that they are comfortable and have a fun filled experience while you are gone. I love all of my animals. They are the world to me. I really love to spend time walking, playing, and grooming them. I lead my pack with love. And of course, when I come into your home-- I will treat yours as I do mine. So with me, they will have lots of play time, plenty of of walks, and as much cuddle time as they want. Therefore, you can rest assured that I will respect your home, honor your wishes, and that your pets will receive the absolute highest level of care, attention, and affection while they are under my care.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was at least 10 years old. I have pet sat, walked, fed, bathed, and helped provide basic training for friends, family, and neighbors who relied on me to care and love for their pets. Animals have always been a big part of my life! They love unconditionally and deserve to be spoiled with walks, play, love and treats!! My own pets and experiences with other animals has brought me so much joy that I want to give back to those animals that live in my community! I work as a teacher Monday-Friday so during the week I’m only available in the evening. Weekends are much more open! However, once summer hits I will be available during the day, evening, and weekends! I have had experience with dogs and cats as pets! When I had dogs I would provide daily walks, feedings twice a day, water, and of course daily plays. On top of that, grooming was a top priority to keep them clean and brushed so their coat and skin is well cared for. I currently have two cats! They are fed twice a day and their liter boxes are emptied every day as well. They are brushed regularly. They are inside kitties and play with the toys provided to them and take lots of cat naps between sun bathing in the sunlight! ☺️

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, I bring a deep personal commitment to every pet I care for. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your dogs I'll dedicate my time to really getting to know them and their preferences. I have shared my home with several senior pets over the years and understand the specialized attention they require. Elderly animals hold a special place in my heart, and I am especially attuned to their comfort, routines, and medical needs. I have three pets - a spunky, energetic Chihuahua and two senior cats. Your pets will be cared for with the same thoughtfulness, reliability, and respect I give my own. I’m a professional photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to be reliable and present when pet families need support. Running my own business has taught me the importance of communication, trust, and attention to detail. I’m also a parent to a teenager, so responsibility and consistency are a big part my everyday life. I value routine, patience, and creating a calm, steady environment, which is something pets truly benefit from. In my free time, you’ll often find me outdoors exploring nature with my camera, taking walks, or simply enjoying fresh air. I appreciate the simple joy animals bring to our lives and feel honored to care for them with the same thoughtfulness and respect I give my own. I know it can be hard on animals when their humans are away. Transitions can feel big for them. I move slowly, pay attention, and let trust build naturally so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re gone. My animals are the world to me. I love the everyday rhythms — the walks, the play, the brushing, the quiet moments on the couch. I lead with love and consistency, and I bring that same energy into your home. When I care for your pets, they’ll have plenty of playtime, walks tailored to their needs, and as much cuddle time as they’d like (or space, if that’s more their style). You can trust that I will respect your home, honor your routines, and care for your animals with the same attentiveness and affection I give my own.

About: Hello pet parents my name is Octavia (i prefer to go by my middle name)! I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH MORE THAN JUST DOGS AND CATS SUCH AS CHICKENS AND DUCKS !! I am military and I am able to access base when needed. I am 21 years old and I LOVE animals!! Due to my Army career I live in a loft with my wife, my dog. Taking care of animals is my calling! I have now been in the Army for three years. I joined to further pursue my college education and become a veterinarian in the future. I am extremely passionate about the care that animals receive. I have volunteered for lots of shelters since i was young to learn all about animals and their needs, so it is my duty to ensure that your fur baby is well taken care of. Being that i worked with a lot of trained animal handlers, I have experience with animals who have many special needs such as diabetes, aids, cancer, seniors, etc. I also have experience with many different ages and breeds of dogs/cats. I previously worked at a groomers and volunteered at a pet shelter. At both establishments I fed the animals, bathed them, played with them, and took them out for restroom breaks. | love to stay active so I go on a daily walk/run and I would love for your pet to accompany me. I have plenty of room in my schedule to spend quality time with your pet. This would include going to the park, play time, and even cuddle time! While you are gone from your sweet fur baby, I will be available for communication 80% of the time. I am more than happy to send updates on how your pet is doing upon request. Anything that makes you and your pets comfortable I am more than happy to do. The less stress there is for you and your fur baby the better! I am here for your needs!! I am extremely excited to be pet sitting again as l did this before I joined the military. I work from 9-5 for the time being until my shift changes but am truly excited to be able to rush home and care for your pets. I will always keep you updated on my schedule being that my hours change every 3 months. I have a dog and a kitten right now and I constantly do research on their diet and behavior and their well being to make sure I am giving them the best possible life that they deserve.

About: I have been in the animal field since I was 16, completing a veterinary assistant program during high school. During Covid, I helped my aunt foster 3 rescue beagles as well as caring for her other two dogs. Since then, I have worked at multiple doggy daycare and boarding facilities and have pets of my own! As of right now, some nights I work overnight and I work during the day as a part time kennel technician. Having a flexible schedule for your pets needs works best for me! I am currently only providing drop-in visits which means your pet/s will stay in the comfort and safety of their own home. I always do meet n greets where the pet will be staying.

About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.

My puppy ended up giving her some troubles by going potty in her house. I offered to give her extra for the trouble as I didn’t expect him to do that. When I went to pick him up she said she would love to watch him again and they had fun with him. I will definitely be asking her again to watch my puppy when needed!

We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our first time leaving our pup. The care and attention given to our dog was absolutely amazing. It was so clear how much they genuinely loved him and treated him like their own. They even had a welcome sign with a menu and activities. It was adorable. We received thoughtful updates, pictures, and constant reassurance that he was happy and well cared for. Picking up a relaxed, content boy says everything. We are beyond grateful and would trust Kris & Eric again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕

Robin was very understanding with our dog, Tabitha's needs - with her in mourning after the recent passing of our other dog, her closest companion and with us needing to be away from home for 8 days. Robin listened to all of the details of feeding and meds. Then she stayed in contact with us, updating us on Tabitha's adjustment to her new surroundings, sending great pics and playing the games she likes to play (FRISBE!) Robin was also VERY accomodating with our crazy flight schedules on drop off & pick up. Tabitha had such a good time she has returned to her joyful self! I highly reccomend Robin and she will be the first person we will reach out to the next time we need a dog sitter!
