“Anna was a wonderful pet sitter! She was very kind, caring, and attentive to my two cats and two guinea pigs, and I could tell she really took the time to make sure they were well taken care of. She also spent plenty of time playing with my cats, which I really appreciated. Anna was very responsive whenever we needed to text her about something, and overall she made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring. I would definitely rebook with her!”

“Krystal provided the perfect environment for Pooh. He got great care. At 13, blind and with diabetes, he still finds ways to get in trouble. He was safe. His medical needs were addressed and he was able to play safely with other pets.”
About: Hi there! My name is Jen. I've had pets all my life and couldn't imagine not having my four legged family companions by my side today. I am available to look after any type of pet in your home or mine, whatever works best for you and your pet. Over the years I have raised a puppy and took in an anxious rescue dog with separation issues so am familiar with the experiences involved in both of these situations. My dogs are treated like the family members they are and you can be assured that I will treat yours the same way. I always make sure the animals I take care of get the best care and are always physically and mentally stimulated throughout the day with downtime for resting. I have plenty of puzzle toys, 20 foot tie out run outside, lick mats, toys, sandbox to dig, agility equipment, conservation area nearby for walking and exploring, etc. Please contact me if you are interested in meeting! I am available for daytime or overnight care in your home or mine. Please contact me and we can work out the details for exactly what you need. I offer overnight care in my home. Your pet will be treated as my own. I have a medium sized yard for playtime for pups that includes a sandbox and also have some agility equipment as well. I also do daily walks at the conservation area near my house. If preferred I can provide care in your home as well. Please reach out and we can work out any details.

About: Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology. Five years of recent pet sitting in the Plattsburgh, NY area. Solid references for that era. I never had children. Pets are my babies. Currently, I am working to help out friends with their farm. I am only beginning Rover now and am very flexible. Pet sitting is more of enjoyment than corporate employment. I can have a cat or a small dog stay with me in my apartment if that is something the owners are interested in. It's an apartment complex with really nice, dog-friendly grounds.
About: I have cared for cats and dogs since I was young! I also can care for mice, bunnies, rats, and other animals, just message me! I know each personality is different, and I can proudly say I have made friends with animals that love humans as well as those who definitely don’t. Animals with special needs are also not a problem for me! I’ve cared for multiple cats and dogs with special needs including diabetes, manual bladder expressions, and mobility/paralysis issues. I’m currently at college (Vet Tech Student) and am looking for jobs that allow me to keep working around animals during this time while also giving enough free time to succeed in classes! I follow instructions given by the owner and often send pictures as updates of how the babies are doing! I can crate, walk, feed, water, play with, and bathe animals (if needed). I also can trim nails if asked! I can send pictures after as proof I didn’t quick them to ensure safety and trust between both you and I, as well as your pet and I!
“Great person and I feel confortable to leave my dog with her, very aware of any needs for my dog and we have a good talk a about his behavior, all the information was always on point and very knowledgeable about pets in general.”
About: I love being around animals and spending time with them. I find myself walking in the outdoors a lot which I would love to do with dogs! I currently work as a full time RN 3 days a week. This allows for a pretty flexible schedule to give more time to my animals, and yours! I have one dog of my own that does not always play well with others. It is preferred for me to watch animals not in my own home for the dogs safety.
About: Hello! Animals have been my passion since I was a little girl. I have worked at a dog daycare for 3 years and now am currently working as a Tech at a Veterinary Clinic now going on for 6 years! I am so lucky to be surrounded by animals everyday and always learning new things about each and every animal. I would love to pet sit your furry friend and hopefully become a new best friend for them too! If you are military, I have base access as well! I am available weekdays and weekends.I would also be available to watch your pet at your home if needed ! I would love to chat about any days you may need and we can work out something :) I am available to help out with feeding, walking, giving medications and or just hanging out with your fur baby. I am open to talking about any other things you may need !
