About: I started working at a vet's office when I was 16 and fell in love with it ever since. I learned how to administer medication, groom, and generally take care of various sorts of animals through my experience at the vet and in daycares: I've worked with cats, dogs, lizards, birds, rabbits, and a little bit with horses. Working at the daycare was most enjoyable for me, making sure the animals in my care were happy and less lonely when they're owners weren't around. I'm excited to get to know your furry friends! I have two dogs, two cats, a leopard gecko, and fish so my pet care schedule is busy daily. I love having something to take care of, put my energy into and taking care of pets is one of my passions! I have a fenced backyard for dogs who want the free space to run around, I have extra crates as well, and for my own fur babies I tend to use cbd calming treats for those pesky fireworks and loud noises. I also have a small stock pile of medications and preventatives for various ailments like gas, flea medications, etc.
About: I've been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. From dogs and cats to pets with unique personalities, I'm patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to provide attentive, reliable pet care throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I'm able to give them plenty of attention and care.

I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy and well cared for.
About: I've had dogs and cats since a child. I have 3 dogs all from puppies now ages 9,9 and 3. I also have an adopted cat who is 5 years old. I've bred my golden retriever and kept a puppy so I am familiar with caring for puppies. RN here that will have off work the next couple of weeks.

“Laura is fabulous!! If 10/10 were an option it would have been given. My fur baby did not exhibit any signs of anxiety once introduced and when I picked her up she was just as happy. Could not have asked for more; especially since this was my first time leaving my best friend with a sitter. Laura made the entire process easier and satisfied any concerns I had. She provided daily pics and updates so I never had to wonder about the care Allie Bee was receiving. Laura will be my only choice from here on.”
“She and her husband were really good with our dog, clean persons and nice people, and organize on time when they came pick up and drop our dog.

“Courtney was great with our 5 year old rescue cat! Patient, affectionate, always on time and following our wishes to the letter. Excellent communication and daily photos also put our worries to rest. We will be going to Courtney for any future drop in needs!”
“This was my very first rover experience! I needed someone to drop in and check on my kitties for 2 weeks. I was nervous and hesitant to use Rover initially as an option. I found MJ and she helped put my mind at ease. (Her name is Mary but she goes by MJ.) Let me tell you MJ did a phenomenal job watching not only my kitties but my home! When I first met her she was very kind, sweet, professional, respectful, and asked all the right questions. I could tell she had a big heart for animals and that I could trust them in her hands. She was always on time, quick to respond back in a timely manner, flexible, consistent with any updates, sent me really cute, frame worthy pictures, and most importantly made sure they were safe, loved, and cared for! This all confirmed and reassured me that this was a great choice for them. I know my kitties were very happy and pleased with her as much as I was. As I mentioned before, she gave them love and attention when I couldn't, let them get some (allowed) outdoor time, always left them with fresh litter boxes, she topped off their food and water dispensers when needed, and made them their favorite nightly num-nums (wet food). She also went above and beyond and helped feed my fishies when I couldn't find their timed food dispenser.. AND she even watered my plants the best she could even though she was worried and unsure how much water to give them. Well, I will say they all looked happy to me, so I'm sure they were appreciative as well. All in all the whole experience was a 10/10 and would definitey recommend using her services! Thank you so much MJ for everything!”

About: If you are looking for someone with lots of animal experience, I'm your person. I was raised on a farm and LOVE animals. We love to play and be engaged with them. I've cared for many different types of animals for over 25 years ranging from gerbils, bunnies to chickens and horses. Growing up, my dog was definitely my "best friend" Now as an adult, we currently have 2 yorkies of our own that love to play, meet new people, and fur friends. We also have bred and raised multiple litters of puppies. I am a stay at home mom of 3 girls. My children are actively involved on a daily basis in caring for our own dogs and any dogs we sit. I'm also wife to a Soldier. Because we are a military family, we are use to constant change, flexibility, and making new friends. Which makes a great TEAM at taking care of multiple pets. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies.. My job is very flexible and I can always take time off with no difficulty. I also have a husband and 3 children that have helped for the past 8 years with dog sitting. We live on a 1 acre lot that is 100% fenced. Our fence is puppy proofed for our 3 pound yorkie so he can’t escape. We never leave animals outside. We also have a outside and indoor security cameras on our home. So if we do have to run to town or if I’m in another room, we can check on them via phone. Your animal safety is just as important as my own dogs. One way I ensure safety is, we never let different families of dogs out at the same time. We try to teach and reassure all animals that they are loved and safe.
