“Kellie was absolutely phenomenal. The moment Kellie came over to meet my pets, a good two weeks before my travel, I knew my fur babies would be in trustworthy, caring and knowledgeable hands. Kellie made sure she understood the needs of both my animals and understood what was needed to make sure they felt safe and loved in my absence. Kelli checked in with me multiples times a day, letting me know what was going on. She also went above and beyond what was required of her, from making sure my garbage cans were on the curb for pick-up day to watering my plants. If you are on the fence with using Rover to care for your pets while you are traveling or at work, I get it. I was too, but rest assured that will Kellie your cherished fur babies are safe and taken care of, and your home is not at risk.”


About: I’ve had dogs since childhood and have been the go-to dog sitter in my friend group for years. Waffles is a friendly, boundary respecting dude who is the “my dog NEVER likes other dogs” exception for more people than I can count. If your pup requires exclusive attention Waffles is more than happy to stay with a friend while I’m with your pet. Happy to talk about any special needs or habits your dog has! I work most days from home so if needed I can be with your pet most of the day (I may leave for things like meetings, grocery trips, a workout, or breakfast/lunch/dinner with friends), sittings that require me to be in the home with the pet 24/7 while you are gone will incur a small extra charge per day. Waffles is content with either playful dogs or sleepy friends, he tends to go with the flow and is happy to just lay around in the sun if that’s your pet’s vibe. I can do multiple walks per day but in very harsh weather I will keep both their safety and mine in mind and talk to you about adjusting walk lengths and times to keep everyone safe and happy. Waffles eats twice a day and is used to eating in a separate room if needed when around other dogs. We have a walk in the morning before the day starts and a few treats when we get home. He gets brushed every few days so I can also provide that for your pet if requested. Bowls are rinsed and refilled with water daily and washed well with soap and hot water every few days. Your pets are more than welcome to sleep in the bed with me if that’s what they are used to, and I love to work from a couch while they nap. I have worked with many clients whose pets have specific meal needs and medication plans (pills, injections, hiding supplements in food, the whole nine). We also typically have an evening walk as well, as long as the heat isn’t too bad and his paws are safe on the concrete. Happy to discuss any specifics for your babies!
“Jordan went above and beyond to make our cats and parrots comfortable. It was such a relief to know someone was looking in on them and giving them some attention while we were gone!”

“We had to book last minute, and Mell was great! She did a meet and greet before the sitting and I really enjoyed getting the updates from each visit! We will definitely be booking again!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life. I have cared for them, trained them, and loved every single one. I take care of animals as if they are my own even if they belong to someone else. I enjoy animals whether cats or dogs. With me, you'll know I'm there. I take pics letting you know I came and the time. I make sure to spend time playing with them or petting them if not interested in playing. They don't call me a dog whisperer for nothing. Animals can sense the type of people they are around. I let them know they can trust me. I am currently working for Uber Eats so my schedule is flexible. I am available most any time day or night. Animals are my priority. I live in the country on 7 fenced acres. We have other pets on our property. Therefore, I primarily go to people's homes to provide care.
“Tinisha was great with our pups for drop in visits in our home. We had to be away from the house for the day last minute and I was so relieved to know they were well taken care of with the great updates and pics. Thank you!”

About: -Experience with puppies (care & training) -Owner of a senior dog -Patient and kind to all animals no matter the breed, shape, or size -Experience with high energy breeds I am currently working full time throughout the week, so pet care works for me after 5pm. I will be available anytime throughout the weekend. I am familiar with safely and respectfully crating pets and have done so with my own dogs. I make sure the area is clean and comfortable especially if the pet will be left for long periods of time.
“Ryder our dog was excited to see her from the start which isn’t normal but we were happy to see. She provided us with pictures and updates throughout our night our without us asking. Very affordable and seemed to be affected towards Ryder. She stayed later then was scheduled and cleaned up messes. We will be having her watch him again.”

About: I've had pets for about 7 years - raised two Huskies from puppies, and after moving out on my own I started taking care of cats. I currently have three cats at home. Friends and family have counted on me to feed, walk, and look after their pets when they're away. I'm comfortable handling both small and large dogs, and I know bigger breeds like Huskies need a lot more exercise and stimulation than most. With cats, I deal with them every single day, so I know when they're just being moody and when something's actually wrong. My schedule is very flexible - I'm taking online classes this summer, but they're all self-paced with no set class times, so I can work around any pet care needs throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, and I can easily adjust to fit your pet's routine! For drop-in visits and dog walking, I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions and keep the pet's normal routine as close as possible. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes before anything else - especially with bigger dogs. I grew up with two Huskies, so I know how important it is to keep large, energetic dogs secure and properly managed. I'll send updates and photos during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing!

“Cheyenne was great. I was so nervous about leaving my fur baby for a few extra days but Cheyenne was attentive to her needs and helped to reassure me during my time away. Recommended again.”

About: I have enjoyed my life around numerous animals of all backgrounds. Growing up in the north granted me the privilege of owning huskies and training them for years! Stubbornness is no problem with me. I have experience with working through territorial aggression and severe medical needs. I have been through obedience training with all of my dogs. I love being around cats as well and have owned cats my entire life! I am available any day, anytime! No morning is too early for a check in or walk and no night is too late. Your pet’s schedule is my schedule! I respect security and privacy! The care of another persons home is sacred and I would only want someone else respecting my space as well. Let me know if you have any concerns about the environment your pet will be in!
About: As a Physician Assistant student, I’m trained to provide excellent, attentive care to patients, and I bring that same responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail when caring for pets. Whether house sitting, walking, or providing senior pet support, I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. As a PA student, I thrive on structure and already walk multiple times a day during study breaks. This built-in rhythm means your pets will enjoy consistent exercise, attention, and affection on a reliable schedule…something pets love and I value just as much! In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment by following their established routines for feeding, walking, and playtime. I provide plenty of love, exercise, and attention while keeping their home clean, safe, and secure. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel cared for and every detail of their routine is respected.
