About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have years of experience caring for pets of my own, as well as helping family and friends with theirs.

I currently own 2 cats and have recent experience with nail clipping, tooth brushing, and medication delivery.

About: While I am relatively new to formal pet sitting, I absolutely love cats and respect their unique personalities. I understand that some kitties love to play and snuggle, while others just want their own space.I am highly reliable and will strictly follow all your instructions for feeding, refreshing their water, and keeping the litter box perfectly clean. I have a very flexible schedule, meaning I will never rush through a visit. I promise to give your cat plenty of dedicated attention, quiet companionship, and send you cute photo updates so you know they are safe and happy!
“Becky was so wonderful! She stopped in twice a day to watch our cat Percy while we were away and she took great care of him. She went above and beyond, playing with him, sending updates, and gave us complete peace of mind that he was being well taken care of. Percy definitely misses her since we have come home, he seems even more playful after her visits. We are so thankful to Becky and highly recommend her!”

“Jennifer was AMAZING. She had a mini doggie day care day the day Loki visited, which was great for Loki to have other dogs to play with. It was a rainy day, so there was probably lots of mischief going on inside her house. She sent pictures and videos of his stay with reassuring words as this was the first time we used Rover. When i picked him up he was somewhat happy to see me, yet looked back as if he wanted to stay longer to play with his new friends and human. We will definitely have Jennifer take care of Loki in the future.”
About: I've taking care of dog for a year plus now. My friends and family trust and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and have their pets stay overnight at my house. My house is especially a good environment for dog because my yard is fenced and the dog have their own furniture and their own room. I'm currently a stay at home dog mom and a bake at home so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pet which I love doing. My yard is fenced and I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company while he/she is here. I have plenty of toys and treats available for the dogs as well.

About: My mother Michele has retired from Rover and has handed me the reins so to speak. My name is Nikki, i grew up with all different kinds of animals and have volunteered with the humane society for many years. I specialize with helping feral/aggressive animals when i can find the time. My mother calls me the animal whisperer 😊 My husband Ben and i will take jobs together so we have some more flexibility. He also grew up with animals, he has specialized with training huskies in the past. We have an 11 year old daughter that loves to help play with animals. Even in youth she has had a lot of experience with animals and is very respectful and patient. One of her favorite activities is to exercise with animals, so occasionally if I am watching an animal that is good with kids and requires exercise, I will bring her along to join in the fun! (With your permission of course) We have have 3 fur babies of our own, Gypsy, Mila and Blu 😊 My husband and I work 8AM-4:30 Monday-Friday and have weekends off. We will need to schedule around our work during the week, but our weekends are usually open! I give all animals the amount of affection and time they need. An animal will tell you how much or little attention they would like, you can hear it through their reaction to you. Patience is always a must. I have taught my daughter this as well. You cannot properly care for an animal unless you understand their personality.

About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.
“Brandi takes such good care of my fur baby! She is amazing at keeping me updated and sending pics so I don’t have to miss out all the love and attention she is getting while being at Brandi’s! ❤️”
“Marilyn was amazing!! When Nikko first met her, he instantly fell in love with her. She was great with communication and providing picture updates of him. He was spoiled with walks and play time. Highly recommend her!”
“Shawn and Joey were great! They were flexible with drop off and pickup times, sent a daily photo and took Cooper for walks. He seemed to enjoy himself and the company of their dog and was wore out when we got him home!”
“Gabriella is incredibly caring and clearly passionate about animals! She took such great care with our dog and made sure that her dogs were slowly introduced to ours. She sends lots of photos and gives love to your pet as if it were her own!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have years of experience caring for pets of my own, as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific routines for feeding, walks, medications, and individual pet needs. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to provide dependable care, playtime, and lots of affection for your furry family members! I currently work mainly remote, so I am able to have a flexible schedule to tend to your pets care and needs. I enjoy building pet care into my day! I love starting with walks, playtime, and attention to help pets feel comfortable and happy. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and routines. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own while they’re in my care. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for.

“Catherine was a joy to work with! I felt very comfortable sle throughout the process, and our yellow lab Charlie had an amazing time staying there!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for 29 years+ From my own to families and friends. There is NOTHING more that I love, than dogs!! My two labs I’ve raised since 6 weeks old. I talk to my two babies all day long. If I’m not with my boys, I’m constantly thinking of them and wanting to know how they are! If I run an errand I always want to call my dogs and talk to them and let them know momma will be right back! I am that crazy dog lady that tells my boys everything I do! I feel they need to know and I want them to feel loved! If I’m not snuggling my boys or playing with them I’m telling them stories or just loving on them! My one lab loves to snuggle and is always always either on my lap or right at my side! I will do anything for my babies and any dog in my care! The more the merrier!! My two labs are laid back and great with other dogs. They really don’t mind that they are around! Though I know they would love a playmate at times! Anyone can rely on me to check in on a pet, feed, take out and any other duties especially loving on them! I’m not one to just drop in and do the duty- I want to get all the snuggles and kisses and let them have some play time! Some friends and neighbors have been having me stay and take care of their pets or drop in care for 10+ years. There’s nothing I love more than caring for pets! They give me the happiness that my loved ones do because they are “my loved ones too!” Some people say I’m a dog whisper. I live and breathe for my 2 dogs I currently have. Ages 10 and 12! I enjoy seeing them run, play, tail wag and smile! I’m home with them daily and talk to them as if they can understand ;) they are my Velcro babies and I wouldn’t have it any other way!! Let me know if u would like to meet up and we can get things rolling and I can be a help with whatever it is that u need to make sure ur pets are well cared for, happy, loved and having fun. It’s like a mini vacation for the pets! :) I look forward to making ur pets stay, walk, boarding, or any help I can be! I am super Excited to give all my love for ur fur baby and then some! I would love to and enjoy sending pictures and updates on my own and also anything that would help u know that ur pet is having a fun time and well cared for! Can’t wait to chat and meet up and be ur dog’s new friend!! I will love them like my own! :) I’m available most of the day to play with, feed, take out, or just some extra snuggle time! Evenings also! Don’t hesitate to reach out even if it’s for one little helping! I take care of our 3 dogs we have now during the day! But I’m looking for extra snuggles and putting that smile on your pets face as much as mine!! I would love to play with, take out, feed and love on your pet for 5 minutes or 1 hour! Very happy to do so! I’d love for your pet to feel loved and safe in my home with my babies , my two black labs who love everyone!! They bring me soo much happiness and joy!! I’m home always to be with them and adore and enjoy them!! 🩷
“Nick is caring and active Boarder. He made Nikki and I comfortable with our first "sitter" experience and Nikki really took to him. She seemed really happy with him and Im really grateful for that. Im relieved that I can get away and trust that my dear dear fur child is cared for with such detail. Very grateful we know Nick!!”

“I would highly recommend! Nikki and Michelle are amazing! My Eva loves them and they sent pictures. Over all was a good stay and always eases my mind knowning my fur baby is taken care of! Will be using them again”
“I had an amazing first experience using the Rover app with Melissa! Chopper seemed comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. Melissa communicated incredibly well and sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me a peace of mind. She was also very sweet, flexible with her availability, and active with Chopper. Melissa took Chopper on several long walks, and it was clear he had a great time with her. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring, active, and reliable sitter. I look forward to booking with her again for Chopper in the future!”
