About: I've cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I treat each one like part of my family. I'm patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while their owners are away. I have experience with different personalities and understand how to make shy pets comfortable and playful pets happy and engaged. My goal is always to give them a fun, stress-free time until you're back. I'm currently working temporarily as a part-timer in the evenings. Other than that any time works for me. My personal schedule is very much flexible. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to follow their routines and respect their personalities. I make sure pets get the right balance of play, attention, and quiet time, and I keep their environment clean and cozy. In a client's home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with care, just as I would want for mine.

About: I have had animals my whole life. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 horses. I have watched dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens and sheep for family. I now would like to branch out and care for animals as a part time job. I love animals!! I would like to pet sit part time. I have animals of my own to take care of. I would be able to come and go, or stay at the home. I take very good care of the animals that I do have. I would take very good care of the animals that I was watching.

About: I've taken care of animals of every kind since I was young. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to bath, feed and walk their animals and have been happy with my services I'm currently work about 7 minutes from home. With my current job, I can take a break whenever I need so long as it doesnt hurt others. So I can make time around my schedule for the animals at any time. I take walks daily with my cats as well. I will show care and trust towards your babies just as much as you do. I put lots of research in what they needs before I agree to watch them. Plus I am only a text message away if I had any other questions (which I ask a lot of). Once you meet me, I'm sure you and your fur babies will come to love me.

Mia did an OUTSTANDING job caring for our dog and two cats. She sent us daily updates w photos of walks, playtime, and even did a photo shoot with our dog! She did a home stay for 4 nights and our house was impeccable when we returned. To say I would hire her again is an understatement. We’re convinced our pup misses her and we wish we could hire her indefinitely. If you pass on having her watch your pets you are missing out, if I could give ten stars, I would ❤️❤️❤️

About: What sets me apart is real, lifelong experience—not just sitting. I rescued my own dog when he was a puppy and have been hands-on with him for 4.5 years. Through these years I've conducted my own training successfully, gone through medical emergencies, dealt with injuries, and have gained a lot of experience in doing so. I grew up caring for animals of all types: dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and a few wonderfully odd creatures. I’m calm, attentive, and deeply respectful of every animal’s needs. With me, pets aren’t just watched—they’re understood, safe, and genuinely cared for. I also completed Nero's Law training in 2025, which taught me canine CPR and basic life support for working and/or aggressive and non-working/non-aggressive dogs. I recently left the government and am traveling full-time around the country with my dog Murphy, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I will be available any time and date for the foreseeable future. If I'm in your area for a while, please reach out! I will be living and traveling in a van full-time, which makes it very easy for me to pay full attention to your pets needs when I'm in your home. I'm extremely respectful, clean, and understand needs such as crating, giving medications, doing basic training, and any other requirements your pup may have.

About: I have lived with animals my whole life. I also previously worked at a dog and cat boarding facility as a daycare staff. My job included supervising daycare groups, playing with dogs, and maintaining a safe and clean kennel enviornment. I am currently taking a gap year from college, and have a pretty open schedule. I am utilizing Rover as a part time job, so bookings make up the main portion of my schedule. I have three very friendly dogs who love to play as well as a cat. I do not have a fenced in yard, however we love putting our fury babies on long lines and playing fetch in our lovely yard. My number one priority is always safety. I have experience at maintaining a safe and fun environment for animals due to previously working at a dog boarding facility.

Landon did a remarkable job. He stayed at our house taking care of our 2 golden retrievers while we enjoyed a 10 day holiday. We did a one night trial run a few weeks before our long trip to make sure everything would go well and it did. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was great when we returned. He was a great guest who washed his sheets and vacuumed the floors! We will definitely be using Landon for our future travel time.

Casey was wonderful. I had never left my baby with anybody other than family. I was very anxious but Casey sent me notes and photos throughout the day to reassure me. It was a great experience and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

About: My family and myself absolutely love animals! We have dogs and cats ourselves and have had for many years. Most of our animals that we have or have had, we've adopted from shelters or have turned up on our doorstep as strays so naturally, we took them in! We adore animals so much that we should actually live on a farm so we can have more! We call our 13 year old daughter "the animal whisperer", she loves and understands what every animal wants or needs and they love and trust her in return. She knows every breed of dog and everything about them! She's going to be a veterinarian someday, I can already see it now! Animals are part of our family, they have free roam of our house, can snuggle with us on the furniture or in our bed and we play outside with them in our big backyard. We live in a small town so it's perfect for playing outside or taking a walk. Our pets love other animals to play with also! However you take care of your pet, you can count on us to do the same! Just let us know what your pet loves and needs and we'll provide them with that! I'm very flexible and can work around most schedules. Available mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights for drop in visits to your home and walks and available anytime for overnight stays at your home. When in your home, you just let me know what your pet's normal routine is, their likes/dislikes, fave toys/treats and I'll make your pet feel pampered, comfortable and loved!

Belle was great watching my dogs, even if it was only for a night. Even wrote out report cards for them, which was a nice personal touch. Would definitely recommend her, especially since she has experience with all kinds of dogs!
