“I needed help walking my dogs due to a busy schedule, and I’m so glad I found Kayla. After meeting her last week, she has walked my dogs a couple of times and has done an excellent job. She’s very easy to communicate with, always prompt, and consistently shows up right on schedule. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love her. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. I’ll definitely be using her in the future, especially while I’m on vacation.”

About: "With years of experience caring for a variety of animals, I'm a responsible and compassionate pre-vet student eager to provide top-notch pet sitting services. From dogs and cats to birds and reptiles, I'm comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. Trust me to give your furry, scaly, or feathered friend the love and attention they deserve while you're away." I am available most days let me know your schedule and I will try and work on a solution for both of us. I have class from 9am- 12pm but I am able to work before or after class. I have many pets, no pet is to small or to big. I have worked with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, and I am willing to care for any pet you call family.
About: Hi! I’m currently in school studying veterinary care, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve been surrounded by pets since the day I was born—from dogs and cats to small animals—and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for many friends and family members, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s going on walks, giving medication, or just providing a little extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. With my background in animal care and my education in veterinary studies, you can feel confident your pet is in safe, knowledgeable, and loving hands. I know how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’m here to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but pet care is something I genuinely love and prioritize in my free time. I’m available for early morning and evening visits during the weekdays, and I have more flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Even with a busy schedule, I always make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, dinner-time or feeding, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after. When caring for pets, I always follow their specific routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I make sure they get the exercise they need with safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their energy level and comfort. I also stick closely to their feeding schedule, ensuring they get the right food, portions, and any treats or medications they may need. When pet sitting or checking in, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company so they never feel alone or anxious. For cats, I make sure their litter is clean, their food and water are fresh, and they have a calm environment to relax in. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have been dog and cat walking and sitting since the age of 11. Sometimes as my full time job and sometimes as a way to make some extra cash. I absolutely love all fur babies of every size, breed, and age! I am not assuaged by the more aggressive and/or larger dog breeds. I have experience caring for pitbulls, boxers, huskies, golden retrievers, labradors, collies, and hounds, as well as various smaller breeds. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats from ages 2-months to super seniors! I love them all! I am not currently a pet mom to any cats or dogs, but I have been in the past and my partner and I are the pet parents to a feisty bearded dragon, one adorable turtle, two silly toads, one lazy pac-man frog, one chill beta fish, and a tank of four high-energy salt-water fish! 😊 We recently laid to rest Pixie our hamster, Lucy our ferret, and Anthony our saltwater eel. Lucy and Anthony were in our lives for 7+ years 😢 I will treat all of your fur babies like they are my own! I originally signed up on Rover as a way to make ends meet while putting myself through Nursing school; and although I have since accepted a job as a full-time nurse, I decided to continue Rover on the side. I also regularly volunteer at Memorial Medical Center as an Auxillain. Aside from these two commitments my schedule is pretty open. I unlisted myself from house sitting; however, I may be able to house sit for you in 3 to 4-day stretches, so if this is all you need please reach out to me. Unfortunately, I cannot house any pets in my home either overnight or during the day due to restrictions set forth by my apartment complex; however, I am free to pet sit overnight or during the day in your home (in 3 to 4-day stretches). I have found this is normally less jarring for your fur babies anyway. I am also free to dog/cat walk either on a regular basis or sporadically. The needs of your pet will be taken into account on an individual basis. If you have a question about my experience or ability to perform a specific aspect of your pets care, please just ask. *I am willing to negotiate rates*
“Heather was amazing with Kiara, she was always on time for walking Kiara, she’s super nice and her feedback about the activities was great, I highly recommend Heather to take care of your dogs!!”

About: Hi! I’m Krissana, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m the proud pet mom of five dogs so caring for multiple personalities, energy levels, and routines is my everyday normal. From playful puppies to older pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has their own language and I love taking the time to learn I have a flexible schedule and can work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Since I care for my own animals daily, I’m used to structured feeding times, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first in my home. With experience caring for five dogs and two goats, I’m used to managing multiple animals, different temperaments, and structured routines. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels to make sure every pet feels secure and respected.
About: I have sat from a new born puppy to a hyper teen Cane Corso to a 500 lb senior dog. The puppy are the easiest I would have to say. Just keep warm make sure they are eating and make sure they're ok. The Cane Corso teen dog wasnt too bad she was very heavy lol but overall very sweet and just wanted to play. I currently have open availability. I am a caretaker for seniors but currently I have no more clients. Please contact me two days before you need your fur baby to be watches. If your pet has any specific preferences or needs that I need to know please do inform me for everyone's safety and over all health.
About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll
“Emily was absolutely incredible. She was able to accommodate Malbec and I last minute. She was very nice and professional and my favorite was the fact that she kept updating me and sending pics. My boy was very happy and was so well taken care of. She went above and beyond making sure he had all he need at home before she left. I definitely recommend her to take care of any of your fur guys. Will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats over the course of quite a few years. I truly enjoy doing so. I love getting to see their different personalities and giving them that extra love while their people are away. I had my own dog as well for a few years. Fun fact: we shared the same birthday too! He was really my best friend. At the current moment my availability is fairly open throughout the week and anytime. I am open to mostly any hours currently. Book with me! I will make sure they are taken on walks, given some extra love, feed them, and play with them. They will be well taken care of with me.
About: I have been around dogs of all shapes and sizes our whole life. I’ve dog sat since we were kids for anyone who needed it. Family and friends have asked me to board their babies or to check on them while they are out of town. I’ve had experience taking care of dogs of all ages. We are an active family who loves to go out an enjoy the outside. I’ve been on the app since the beginning of the year, I’m open to learn and work with you. I would prefer to have non-aggressive dogs due to having children. I will always send pictures and of your fur baby. I am currently working Rover full time and my husband works so I would have all the time in the world to work with your schedule to help. I am open to your schedule already set for fur baby. If your baby has a sleep or wake schedule or a certain time they walk I can always be on time. I do have children so school and appointments do happen every once in awhile. My husband and I live in a house with our 4 children and one fur baby that would keep your baby company. I also have a fenced back yard that has plenty of room for everyone to play. I also have an extra kennel if anyone would like us to kennel our dog or needs theirs to be in one. I live two blocks from Young’s Park and love to take our kids and fur baby when the days are nice. I are very clean along with my family and Nakia is kennel trained but she does sleep with my husband and I or my kids so if your puppy needs to sleep with someone there will always be someone there for them. My kids have been taught to respect any animal and the space they are in so there is no need to worry about our kids being mean to your baby. They have been around dogs and other animals their whole lives as well as us. They also won’t be around any of the dogs unless my husband or myself is around to supervise.
About: I grew up around various kinds of animals and for many years, I have been a pet sitter for my friends, family, and even strangers. I work part time and I am in school. However, I am very flexible and can find ways to accommodate your pets needs. Spring time I am always more available and most of my schooling is online. I have a fenced in yard and lots of outside space at my home. I can assist in any way possible to make your pets feel safe and cared for within your own home.
About: I have had pets my entire life-- from dogs and cats to lizards, hamsters, chickens, guinea pigs, and gerbils. I was always the little girl who was bringing home stray wildlife and begging my parents to keep it. I have been petsitting and housesitting for about 20 years. I am honest, trustworthy, and above all I care deeply about animals. I have experience with senior animals, babies, and everything in between. I am comfortable administering medication, matching your dogs energy, going on walks, cuddling on the couch, and just being a fun companion for your pet when you can't be. I also have experience with animals who have been in traumatic situations. I understand how to navigate the boundaries of a scared animal, and I am a gentle and quiet-natured person who most dogs and cats learn to trust pretty quickly. I do have a baby that I occasionally need to bring with me to jobs. He never spends the night and I keep him safely in a pop-up playpen if he’s not right with me. I have a very flexible daily and weekly routine. I am available for drop-ins, walks, and even staying overnight if desired. I am married so my spouse is able to care for my pets while I am caring for yours! My priority is making sure that your pet is comfortable, safe, and getting the care it needs. I let you tell me about their schedule, your preferences on my time at your house, and your dogs quirks. I am very amenable to adapting my routine to fit your pet's lifestyle.
“Nayeli is always so professional in and around my home and my dogs--she is knowledgeable and friendly! Even my shy kid warmed up to her almost immediately! My dogs love her! I haven't been able to walk my dogs due to some health issues, and she has been so valuable to our family. Thank you so much for your continued care!”

About: I grew up taking care of my childhood dog, as well as chickens, horses, cows, and goats. I provide compassionate care for neighbors, friends, and family’s animals, that includes feeding, bathing, and going on walks. I received my bachelor’s degree that is geared towards animals and have pursued a career that allows me to care for our four legged friends. I am currently working full time and my schedule varies. Most times I am available, especially on weekends. I try to make my schedule flexible for my clients. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I as well can provide any care and enrichment to keep your pet comfortable under my care.
