Dog Sitting Verona

“Katie took excellent care of my cat Ozzy while I was away this past week. I appreciated the updates on how he was doing and that she took a little extra time to play with him—from the pictures, it looked like he was having a great time. Thank you!”

About: Hello! My name is Izzy and I specialize in providing care for little fuzzy friends including: rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I am well-versed in the special diets, behaviors, and needs of small animals. I understand that leaving small, particularly sensitive pets at home can be daunting. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and confident leaving them in my care. I having experience administering medication and recognizing emergency medical needs. I also have lots of experience with dogs and some experience with cats as well. I have an affection for senior animals and would love to help care for them! I have owned rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and dogs and have cared for them all through their advanced years. I work full time but can stop by before 8:00am and after 4:00pm during the week (I have more flexibility on Mondays and Fridays). I am in town most weekends and would love to spend time with your pets! Having a stranger in your home while you are away can be scary! I promise to be respectful, responsible, and professional while in your space. I am also a landscape architect and am happy to water any plants when I visit!

About: I've had 2 family dogs and 4 cats! As well as helping take care of friends and roommates pets. I love them and it's fun for me, just thought it'd be a cute and easy way to make a little extra money. I work full time so can only do quicker drop-ins in the mornings and/or evenings during the week but could drop by more over weekends! Am good to drop by homes/apartments and feed/walk/hang out with pets for a bit, not available to care for them from my apartment.

“Elizabeth was a life saver! She did such an amazing job with our dog who can be a bit of a handful! Very professional and cared for Stella like she was her own, I was really nervous leaving her with someone new for the first time and Elizabeth put our minds at ease. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have been working with animals since middle school, volunteering at shelters and helping care for numerous litters of puppies. I have been working in emergency veterinary medicine for four years now, previously working as a wildlife rehabilitator. I am trained in identifying medical emergencies and providing care. I will ensure your pet is in great hands! I am currently three 12hr shifts in a veterinary critical care unit, therefore I’ll have many free days to help care for your pets while you’re away! I have a dog and two cats who are very friendly with others. We can make sure we create the best scenario for your pet while you’re away!

“Hollie is reliable to help taking care of our dogs this holiday season. She visited extra times to make sure our dogs got chances to take care their business.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I recently lost my 2-year-old pup unexpectedly, and while I'm figuring out the right time to welcome another dog into my family, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours like my own. I've cared for many family and friends' dogs & cats, including overnight stays, with experience ranging from tiny 3 lb pups to 80 lb dogs. I also occasionally help care for my roommate's sister's three Great Danes, so I'm very comfortable around larger breeds! I raised and trained my own pup from just 3 months old, teaching her all sorts of tricks — both useful and just-for-fun! I enjoy working with dogs, keeping them mentally stimulated, and finding fun ways to engage with them. I also work in the Emergency Department, so I'm comfortable staying calm under pressure, thinking on my feet, and handling unexpected situations. I'm responsible, attentive, patient, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, extra attention, help reinforcing training, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for just like one of my own! I typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which leaves me with several days off to dedicate to pet care! When I'm not working, I love spending time outdoors walking, running, biking, and hiking. I enjoy bringing pets along for adventures when they're up for it, but I'm just as happy having a relaxing night in with a furry friend. I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet's needs, whether that means getting outside for exercise and playtime, sticking to their usual feeding and walking schedule, or having a quiet day filled with cuddles and companionship. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and would love to make them part of my everyday routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! I keep pet gates available throughout my home to help create safe spaces and separate areas when needed. On some weekends, there may also be a very friendly, laid-back mini schnauzer in the home, but I always prioritize making sure all pets are comfortable with one another and have their own space. I'm comfortable with the realities of pet ownership, including accidents, muddy paws, shedding, and the occasional mess! I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and am happy to clean up after pets as needed. I also understand the importance of following your instructions, maintaining familiar routines, keeping doors and gates secure, and being mindful of potential hazards. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and do my best to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I want you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are in good hands while you're away!

About: *LGBTQ+/BIPOC friendly* I have grown up with dogs all of my life up until last year after losing my pup of over 10 years. I’m ready to take care of other dogs like my own! I am also open to senior care. My experience with animals also include about 2 years of volunteer service at a local animal shelter. I am reliable and responsible with a somewhat flexible schedule during the week! My husband who is a licensed vet tech also can join on walks or visits too if that's okay with you. I work from home during the week, and I can sometimes flex my schedule to accommodate your needs. I am also open to weekends with notice. Typically, my day starts at 7am and I am open to house visits through 10pm. I care for pets in my clients’ homes as if they were my own. I am extremely respectful of space because I would expect the same from a pet sitter. If you need other things attended to while you're away (mail, garbage, etc.) I'm happy to do that for you as well! I am a former teacher, so you can trust me to be reliable and respectful of your space.

“Great job. Our dogs are very happy!”

About: I have been taking care of animals as far as I can remeber. I am incredibly passionate about it, and love every second of it I am currently working full time. I am completely free during the weekends from 8am to 6pm to come play, walk, drop in, or whatever is needed! I have the goofiest golden retriever (Dug) at home who loves to play and relax. I live next to a variety of very nice walking paths/trails

About: Multiple years of experience taking care of pets that aren't my own. Very attentive and safe. Can go any distance or time with a pet. I am currently working a part time job so I have plenty of time to walk or play with pups. I am very flexible with hours. I am very attentive with feeding, walking, and playing with dogs. I have a safe environment for dogs in my car and house if needed.

“My cat is very skittish, and Sierra did a great job meeting him where he's at!! She took care of him and sent pictures while respecting his space :) I'll definitely book with her again!”

“Thank you for responding to my request to help with Sophia today. It sounds like she ate well and felt like walking more today! Thank you for taking good care of her!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years and have experience with dogs, cats, farm animals, and wildlife. My professional animal care experience began as a teenager working at Pine Ridge Pet Resort, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, cleaning, administering medications, monitoring behavior, and providing safe, attentive care in both boarding and daycare settings. Since then, animal care has remained a huge part of my life. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for senior pets, including administering multiple oral medications, insulin injections, and providing extra support for aging dogs with changing mobility and health needs. I also have experience giving medication to cats and caring for puppies. In addition to domestic pet care, I worked at a wildlife rescue center where I assisted with first aid, fluid administration, and hands-on care for injured animals. That experience strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and compassionate in high-stress situations. I work 40h each week Monday through Friday, so I am mainly available on the weekends only for now. I am getting married in a year & have 2 degrees, so I have both debt and savings to add to. I am hoping to help care for pets & put every cent earned on Rover towards my debt In my home, I have a full house of 2 dogs and 2 cats. They all get along great, but my senior dog, Daisy, doesn't get along with dogs that don't live with her. Therefore, my home is not available currently for pet sitting, but I am familiar with pet sitting for others in their homes in order to assure their pets feel safe. In my home, I feed 2x/day in an 8 hour period and walk my dogs every 3-4 hours. When it comes to other people's pets, I am open to whatever care routine your animals are used to. No matter how many steps are involved, I can do anything you need done, and I will do it with a smile on my face. I will also respect any and all boundaries in your home and only go in the designated pet areas. I have had multiple people require I stay out of certain rooms, and it has never been an issue. I am deeply appreciative of the trust I am given when caring for pets, so I won't take it for granted by disrespecting your home or boundaries.

About: I've been caring for cats for over three years and have hosted more than 10 cats for overnight boarding and drop-in visits. Cats are my focus, and I've learned that the first few days matter most — a new environment can be genuinely stressful for them, so I never rush the process. I live in a large single-family home with plenty of space. Your cat gets their own quiet room to settle into on arrival, with food, water, litter, and hiding spots all to themselves. Most cats relax within 3–7 days, though every cat is different and I always go at their pace. I also have two resident cats (both 2+ years) and a friendly 2-year-old dog. All three are calm and well-socialized. If you'd like your cat to have company, I can introduce them slowly once your cat is comfortable — many guests end up making friends. If you'd rather your cat stay in their own space for the whole stay, that's completely fine too. It's your call. You'll get photos and videos throughout the stay so you can see how your cat is doing. I'm happy to follow your feeding schedule, litter preferences, and any routines that help your cat feel at home. Just let me know what your cat likes and I'll take it from there. I work from home most days, so I'm around for a good part of the day and can check on cats regularly rather than only at set times. Cats get fresh food and water in the morning, litter scooped at least twice a day, and play or quiet company in the evening when they're most active. For boarding guests, I check on the isolation room several times a day — short, calm visits so your cat gets used to me without feeling crowded. I'm home every evening and overnight, so your cat is never alone for long stretches. For drop-in visits, I'm flexible on timing and can usually fit in morning and evening slots. Just tell me the schedule your cat is used to and I'll match it. In my home: I live in a large single-family house with a fenced yard and no cat access to the outdoors — all windows are screened and doors stay closed, so there's no escape risk. Every boarding guest starts in a private room of their own with food, water, litter, a bed, and places to hide. That separation isn't just for introductions — it also keeps things clean and low-stress if your cat is shy or has never boarded before. I have two resident cats and one dog, all friendly and used to visitors. They never have access to a guest's room unless the owner has asked for gradual introductions and the cat is clearly comfortable. Most cats settle in 3–7 days, and I let each cat set the pace. I ask that boarding cats be up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention, and I keep the vet's number and your emergency contact on hand for the whole stay. I'll let you know right away if anything seems off — appetite, litter box, or behavior. In your home: I follow your routine exactly as you've written it — feeding amounts, medication, litter, and any spots your cat likes to be left alone. I keep doors and windows secured, bring in mail or packages if you'd like, and send photos and a short update after every visit so you know what happened while you were away.

“I reached out to Nicole last minute on a Saturday night looking for someone to watch my dog Finley since I was in town visiting. She responded instantly and Finley was so excited to go over there. He got along well with her dog and came home happy and ready to snuggle. Finley says “4/4 Paws! Would visit again””

About: I have been taking care of dogs since i was 15 and adopted a dog from a shelter with my parents. 3 years ago I brought home a sassy and energetic corgi, and have been training him since he was 8 years old. I have always loved animals no matter how big or small and will give so much love to any animal I see. I currently work full time, so I am available after 4 pm for walks or drop in visits, but I have a pup of my own to tend to at night. On the weekends I am available for overnights, walks, etc. I have a flexible schedule and a loving fiance that is more than able to watch my pup so I can care for yours. My corgi is an only child and loves to keep it that way, so I would be giving your animal their own attention in your own home. Due to having a rambunctious corgi, I am familiar with safety while walking your pet, and will give them all the love and attention in the comfort of their own home.

“Another great experience with Meeka! I have no worries when she kitty sits! And the cats obviously love her cuz they’re so calm when I return!”

About: My husband and I have a 2 year old Lagotto Romagnolo and before that we had a Bassett hound mix, growing up I always had cats and have helped friends over the years with walking their dogs/short term care for their animals! I work for myself from home and my schedule is extremely flexible making it very easy for me to work with others schedules, especially during the day! We have a large fenced in backyard at our home. We practice positive re-enforcement in our home with our dog and believe whole heartedly in that practice!

“Allison was a last minute booking through the Rover App due to a last minute cancellation by a neighbor of mine to take care of my pet Chihuahua Mazy. She was so prompt in contacting me and so prompt to meet and greet with Mazy and me. I felt like Allison was an angel at this time of need! I had no worries with her care of Mazy. Fun to see Mazy in photos and videos looking so happy! I would have Allison back again taking care of Mazy - who wouldn’t want an angel taking care of your pet! Rover is lucky to have Allison!”
