About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family growing up never had less than 3 pets at a time so I've grown up loving and rescuing animals including taking care of outdoor feral cats,stray dogs, etc. I currently have two cats of my own and hope to have more in the future at the very least by fostering :) Besides when working my 9/5 or rover I spend most of my free time with my cats. I also keep a cat crate and food in my car in case I ever see any stray cats and I have a humane trap at home. I have raised puppies and kittens from 2 months old and have had elderly pets that have lived to be 19 years old so I have experience with lots of pets of different ages, breeds, and personality types. I've taken care of upwards of 7 cats all in the same household so I am also experienced with caring for multiple pets including households with multiple cats and also dogs. I also have experience to varying degrees with deer, rabbits, horses, chickens, quail, and fish. I think pets are family and best friends and I am excited to meet yours and give them lots of love and attention I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick For daycare or boarding for dogs I would prefer they are cat friendly but accommodations can be made for sure! Currrntl due to my job I can’t do morning drop ins or walks during the work week but can on weekends and can still do boardings. There are some afternoons where I occasionally have avilability and my availability is subject to change so please feel free to still message to ask :) I still do have lots of weekend free time too :) I’m happy to watch multi pet house holds and do daycare for multiple dogs if you have more than one! During meet ups I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick In my own household I would provide them with their own toys, food and water bowls, and take them for lots of walks if applicable. My pets and any animals here are allowed to be on the furniture like the couches and bed but I usually put a blanket and a small bed on the ground in case some babies feel more comfy with that. I am more than happy to also crate them!
“We are so happy to have had Jen care for our dog for a long weekend out of town. It was our dogs first time staying with a non-family member so we were a little nervous but it was clear she loved staying with Jen and had so much fun. Jen is very professional and sent us several helpful updates throughout the weekend. Our dog had the best time with her. We will definitely be requesting future boarding stays with Jen!”
“I couldn’t be happier with Rosie’s stay! Amanda sent pictures and Rosie was clearly having a wonderful time and fit right in. When I picked her up she was tired from playing and very happy. Rosie will definitely be a frequent visitor!”
“Jessie was great. He's expensive, but absolutely worth it. My dog came down with an illness a week before a planned vacation, I needed to board her with someone that could administer her meds and where she was isolated with other dogs. Jessie was able to handle her situation, and spoiled the heck out of her as well. I'd definitely book with him again.”
“Lindsay took great care of my dog, Taydo. Long walks, snoozes on her couch, and photos to keep me updated. I believe LIndsay to be completely trustworthy which is really important for a pet sitter.”

“I’m really happy I picked Anna to look after my cats! She gave me peace of mind about leaving them while I was on vacation, knowing they’d be well cared for. I’d definitely ask her to watch them again in the future!”
“Was wonderful and kind and treated our two cats very well. Would highly recommend and will definitely contact in the future the next time we need someone to watch our furry friends. Very satisfied.”
“Darby's updates were super informative while I was away, having information on how much food my cat ate and what they did during the visit. I was always glad to get photos of my cat enjoying herself in the update!”
“Katherine was amazing!! She left wonderful notes and pictures and her communication was fast and easy! My cat seemed to love her time with Katherine and I know that she was in great hands. I will definitely have her back :)”
“Keezieng's assistance was a lifesaver this holiday season. His politeness and kindness when meeting us and our cat Olivia was reassuring and he did a great job of updating us during his visits while we were away. We’re so grateful for the excellent care provided!”
“Vanessa really has a way of putting me and the cats at ease. She was very professional during the meet and greet, took notes while I explained the feeding routine and asked relevant questions. I left for my trip knowing the cats would be in good hands. She also takes great pet photos. I felt like she really respected each of my cats and their individual boundaries. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone needing cat care.”
“Jen was amazing with her communication and keeping me informed about her visits. I also enjoyed the photos of my cat that she provided. She took excellent care of my cat and my home. I would definitely book her again. Thank you Jen!”
“Keely was great. Good communication and took wonderful pics of my cats during her visits while making sure everything was in order. Couldn’t have gone any smoother.”
“Samantha was wonderful! She was great with communication and left me feeling totally confident leaving my cat in her care. Would recommend and rebook with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Claire did an amazing job with my kitty. She updated me the entire time. Her photographs were beautiful. I couldn’t have gotten better shots myself. This is the best my guy has been coming home. Claire was amazing and I can’t wait to have her take care of my kitty again.”
“Carly took care of Chester for 1 week as drop-in sitter. My cat looks healthy and handsome as ever. I arrive with a chatty cat greeting me and I get it. I will book Carly again in the future because she not only took care of my cat’s needs (spoiled-prince) but she also respected my place and she is trustworthy and professional.”
“Lydia did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat. She had to give pills, kept me updated well, and sent pictures every time! My cat seemed happy when I returned and the house was well taken care of. Would hire again!”
“Nasimul and Dominique are great with my cats! They send lots of pics and I can tell that the cats are excited when they visit. Highly recommend.”
“Our kitty is extremely shy around new people, so I don't think Brittany was able to see much of her, but Brittany was great. She made sure Inara always had fresh water and a clean litter box and provided a reassuring presence once a day while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. I highly recommend her! We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“My cat is very shy when I'm not around, but Alyssa does a great job of working within her comfort zone, and almost always gets my girl comfortable enough to come out for some attention and play time!”
“Hailey was amazing with my two cats! From the photos she shared, I could tell that they were completely happy and comfortable with her. She sent detailed reports and lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind that the kitties were doing well while I was away. Thank you, Hailey!”
“Kathryn did an amazing job caring for my grumpy old cat, Rumor. He doesn't usually like strangers, but she got him to play with toys and always spent time with him. I felt better knowing that she was checking in on him everyday!”
“Mersadies left amazingly detailed visit notes and paid great attention to the care my cats needed (both required medicine for part of the time she cared for them). I appreciate her lots!”
“Madalyn took such great care of my boys while I was gone and kept me updated with photos, videos, and notes! I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a pet sitter!”

“Cynthia’s pupdates are THE BEST! I look forward to her primo photos & pupdates every time. My pup Popsicle gets so excited when she sees Cynthia. Hands-down the most thoughtful, caring pup-sitter that I have encountered. ✨”
“Briana is such a kind and empathetic individual! Although my doggy day care was last minute, I felt reassured that Semi was in good hands. Truly someone you can trust with your pups!”
“Ben was phenomenal - helped us out in a pinch to provide fun and stimulating daycare for our puppy. Super professional, great at providing the right amount of stimulation/rest/play for our pup, and very communicative. 10/10 will definitely be bringing our boy to Ben again!!!”
“Hi Elizabeth, I just wanted to say thank you for taking such great care of Fox! I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It’s clear you gave her lots of attention and care, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable with you. I’d absolutely trust you again and would happily recommend you to others. Thanks again!”
“Julie was very friendly and accepted our booking late the night before we needed her to look after our dog. She took great care of Truffles and sent us plenty of photos throughout the day.”
About: I work remotely and have a fenced in yard so I’m able to look after and hang out with your dog throughout the day. My dog, Milo, is a pup who loves to play with other dogs and is equally happy with his toys on his own. I make an effort to make sure owners pets stick to their schedules and I enjoy the active time with them too. I work from home allowing me to watch over pets throughout the day and ensure they have enough outside time and whatever else they may need. I try to stick to owners house rules and routines. I’m an early bird allowing for morning time to get energy out and for pets to start their day with me.
“Robert made Ollie feel at home and spent quality time with him during his first-ever Rover visit. Took him outside often, which I’m sure Ollie loved! Also, he was great with updates!!”
“Kara is so wonderful with Birdie. She is patient and caring, and her home provides a wonderful space for Birdie to play with other dogs. Birdie is always super excited to go to Kara’s house.”
“Edith is your dream sitter. She posts daily photos and updates of your pet. She obviously loves what she does. She is a lovely soul and my Mimi, who can be shy, had her tail up in the photos which made me feel reassured that she was in a safe, loving environment.”
About: I've had dogs ever since I was a little kid and would do anything for them. I've also worked with dogs for the past 2 years. I have a Rat Terrier of my own and will make sure to treat your dog like they're my own. I’m used to all kinds of dogs whether it be age, energy level, or condition as I’ve had a mix of all at my job and growing up! I'm a student with lots of breaks between my classes meaning I’m usually only gone for less than two hours and I have lots of free time on the weekends. Max I’ll be gone is four hours, but that rarely happens. My dog is very friendly and energetic, but also knows when a dog doesn’t want to play. She’s very silly and loves to sleep! I live near the lake and can take your dog out often as there’s a nice trail along the lake and campus is pedestrian friendly. I live in an apartment, so I’m looking to host dogs who are comfortable in a quieter environment. Since I share walls with neighbors, I’m best suited for dogs who aren’t big barkers. That being said, I love dogs with a personality! A little energy and playfulness is totally welcome, I just ask that barking is kept to a minimum. Dogs are allowed to free roam around the apartment whether I’m with them or gone. If your puppy has energy to burn but knows when to settle down, we’ll get along great! In your own home I will take on any type of dog with any energy level! I will make sure to care for your dog while you are away just as you care for them while you’re in your house. A dogs safety and their comfort are a top priority for me! I also have a fenced in patio with dog grass if your pup needs a quick potty break!
“Nicole and her kids were great. They were very kind and caring with my dog snooper. They have two other dogs that of course want to protect their owner .. but Nicole was careful to keep them on leash or contained during meet n greet. She thoughtfully considered my apprehension about leaving snooper with 3 dogs (they had another for day care I learned later) and figured out ways to keep the dogs separated. The kids were so loving to little snooper I think he had a lot of private attention! Nicole sets a great example for dog care for her kids—- as did her father who was around during meet and greet. So nice to see children take such loving interest in animals.”
“Emily took great care of our pup, Toby! He is 10 weeks old and she was capable of managing the extra needs of a young puppy. Emily was very communicative and responsive to messages. We would send our pup to be cared for by her again!”
“Ella was really sweet for helping me find a sitter last minute. Her communication before, during, and after was impeccable! It made me feel assured that Remy was in good hands while in her care. I highly recommend!”

“Tucker would literally try to jump out the kitchen window to get to her for his walk. He loved it so much. Carley was so nice and sweet with Tucker. If we weren't moving across the country I would still want her to walk him”
About: When I lived in Arizona with 6 Boarder Collies, we walked together every morning. I helped my brother care for them, throw balls to them and swim. I love to massage animals. I would love to sit on long weekends overnight. Your pet will feel safe and cared for. I have cared for cats as well. and I owned a cat for 7 years. I am great with following instructions if your pet has special diet needs or any other special needs. The pet owners will feel extremely comfortable leaving me with their pet, as well as coming home from a trip. I also have experience with brushing and bathing dogs. , and brushing cats . I hope this helps to know about what kind of care I would provide for your pet.
“Ernst is super friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. We have 70 lbs adolescent pup who has a lot of energy to give. Ernst is great at keeping our pup in line. I already notice an improvement in our pet’s loose leash walking!”
About: I work from home so I can care for your pets on a flexible schedule... I have experience taking care of both dogs since I was a teenager. I'm a mommy to 2 cute cats & 1 dog. I have trained, groomed, lived with, cared for, & walked both dogs & cats (yes, cats!). I absolutely love all animals & treat all creatures with respect & care. I'd love to bring light & love to your precious pets whether they need some activity, food, or just company! Because I work online in my own business, my hours are flexible. I enjoy taking time away from the screen to go out in nature for walks or give care to pets. I am time-conscious & take each pet's needs & pet owner's preferences seriously. I would be sure to treat each pet as my own, with lots of love & respect.
About: I've helped out at a shelter for a large chunk of my life before I moved for college, taking care of dogs and cats. I have some experience with basic training as well. I'm currently in college so my schedule changes with my classes, and outside of school i'm usually hanging out with my cats but I'd be happy to share that love with your pets as well. I try and keep any pet in my care safe, even if I'm only giving them a walk or checking in on them. I care for any pets just like they are my own.

“Elizabeth was great with our dog Cash giving us updates with pictures and giving him nice long walks. Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her.”
About: I’m all of my friends and families first choice to watch their pets when they are out of town. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I’ve always had dogs in my life growing up so I’m very familiar with reading their body language and knowing how to care for them. I work full time but have a lot of flexibility to check on your pet throughout the day and have the opportunity to work remote as well I’ve never a met a pet that didn’t like me. I’m very good at reading dogs body langue and knowing what they need. Cats also like me and I’m good at reading their body language as well
About: I have lived with large dogs my entire life and own 2 cats of my own, one of which I take for walks outside on a leash every day. I am responsible, communicative, and compassionate. Pet happiness is very important to me! I am currently unemployed so my time is very flexible, both during the week and weekends. I am usually unavailable Friday afternoons but that can be flexible as well I love caring for animals in the way that clearly makes them feel safe and happy whether it is the smallest, weirdest, or most random things. I am happy to tailor the experience to each individual pet and their owner, and take safety and communication very seriously as that is what I would want for my cats

I am more than happy to also crate them!
“We are so happy to have had Jen care for our dog for a long weekend out of town. It was our dogs first time staying with a non-family member so we were a little nervous but it was clear she loved staying with Jen and had so much fun. Jen is very professional and sent us several helpful updates throughout the weekend. Our dog had the best time with her. We will definitely be requesting future boarding stays with Jen!”

My dog came down with an illness a week before a planned vacation, I needed to board her with someone that could administer her meds and where she was isolated with other dogs. Jessie was able to handle her situation, and spoiled the heck out of her as well. I'd definitely book with him again.”

“Ben and Kassy were great. My dog Loki was very nervous and anxious and went above and beyond to help acclimate him to their place and their dogs. They also send me daily pictures and videos. By day 2, he was having a blast! Definitely will be using them again for future trips.”
“Stephanie was an amazing sitter. She messaged me daily with pictures too. Walks, playtime and belly rubs were a daily occurrence with Mack. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come back home. 😊”
“Kara and her daughter are THE BEST. It was our puppies first time staying with someone else so there was anxiety all around. But Kara did such an excellent job that all worries went away. We got regular (but not excessive) updates from Kara that were so appreciated during our trip. The boys came back exhausted from playtime and love. Highly recommend.”
