About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up in a home full of dogs and have always been surrounded by pets, learning early on how to care for them with patience and attention. Today, I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own, with kindness, consistency, and a lot of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra playtime, I ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or an afternoon check-in, I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care. My background in teaching also means I’m organized, responsible, and great at following routines—qualities that translate well into attentive, loving pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and any instructions you leave, whether it’s about medications, crate time, or favorite toys. If I were to offer care in my home, pets would have a calm, pet-friendly space and lots of companionship throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you're away.

“Bro is efficient. Treats his clients like family bringing in mails and I really appreciate it. 4th week watching my meowies and I couldnt be anymore but greatful.”


About: Been a cat lover forever, pet sat my way through college. I'll do drop in visits, play with, and clean up after your pets, always happy to meet new fur babies. I'm working full time, but with a flexible schedule, so I can add stops to my routes as needed. Happy to discuss details in person, or over a call. I'm located around the capitol, and can always work something out to accommodate. I have two kitties that I love and dote on. My partner jokes that I take better care of them than I do for myself, but they deserve the effort. For stays with a single stop a day, I'll play with your pets, make sure they get their food, clean water, and clean litter.

“Amanda was great with my two older dogs. She was receptive to my instruction and the girls were happy when I returned. Thanks Amanda!”


“Safeeyah was absolutely amazing for our first time ever using Rover! She made us feel so safe and confident in having our cats looked after. She gave great and thorough updates and asked if there was anything she needed help with. Highly highly recommend!”


“Elise was so helpful and brought us great peace of mind while watching our cat Archie! She provided detailed overviews and several photos for every visit. She is punctual and communicative and we will definitely be calling her again!”


“Kali checked in on our cat Addy for 10 days - she was extremely reliable, communicative, and Addy seemed to really enjoy her visits. I would gladly book again!”


About: I grew up caring for pets of all kinds, and for the past six years have cared for a behaviorally complex (but wonderful!) rescue pup. Our journey has taught me a ton about training, and about patience. As a result, I am very understanding of dogs and other animals that deal with reactivity — we are a shame-free household! I work full time, but my schedule is flexible on my work-from-home days and on weekends, which gives me plenty of time to care for and love on your pets. As a detail-oriented, attentive person, I will be sure to follow any instructions you have for your pet’s care. Otherwise, I will use my best judgment and careful attention to the safety and health of your pet to make all other decisions while they’re in my care.

“Excellent!”


About: Ask me about my foster dogs!! I’m a trained animal handler and current canine companion at DCHS, with certifications in Fear Free and LIMA. I love building trust with pets - especially helping shy dogs come out of their shell. I have experience with a wide range of temperaments and personalities. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, and bring calm, respectful handling to every visit. My goal is to build a positive, lasting relationship with your pet. I am a freelance graphic designer and have a flexible schedule as I mostly work from home. I enjoy hiking & volunteering in my free time. I am happy to provide care for your animal where they are most comfortable, in their own home. Boarding with fully fenced yard coming soon!

About: I have been caring for all types of animals since I was 10 years old. From energetic puppies who need daily adventures to shy cats who crave quiet companionship, I’m here to keep your pets safe, happy, and well loved while you’re away. Do you own a pet that isn't a cat or dog? No problem! I have owned dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, frogs, geckos and fish! I am currently attending college to become a registered nurse. Starting September 29th, I will be available every Tuesday and Thursday until my classes change in January. Most weekends are free for me as well if you're away on vacation. I will be free during Thanksgiving. As for now, my availability is limited and accurate to what I have open on the app. I am working part time as a dental hygiene assistant, and attending college. I would love to provide care to your pet during the weekend, and limited week days! I'm willing to make my schedule fit yours. My top priorities are comfort, consistency, and connection. I follow your routine closely to ensure your pet experiences familiarity. I respect your space and pet's preferences. Whether they need a peaceful walk, a high energy play companion, or just someone to sit with them, I'm here for it all!

Nasimul R.
“Nasimul was an absolute pleasure. I get worried leaving Patchy alone, but sometimes I have to take business trips for a few days and have no other choice. Nasimul rid me of my anxiety instantly with constant pictures and detailed updates on walks, meals, and playtime. I've never had Patchy so quickly get attached to a dog sitter and have fun with them while I'm gone. It felt like I'd never left with how happy I found Patchy when I returned.

Waunona pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had an extremely positive experience with Vanessa. She is an excellent sitter who followed my instruction and took good care of my cat! She also sends a lot of photos on every of her visits

Katie really helped us out and was super flexible. Our vacation wouldn’t have been so wonderful without her help. We love the pictures of our dogs in their walks. They look so happy!

Thank you for all the attention to detail, great communication and excellent care you provided for our cat when we had to leave town unexpectedly.

Bailey takes such great care of our girlie when we’re out. She’s reliable, communicative & so sweet to our girl. Charlie had some stomach upset while we were away & Bailey went above & beyond to take care of Charlie while she wasn’t feeling well, problem solving with us & even cleaning up after her. Truly cannot thank you enough Bailey! Knowing you’re with Charlie is the ultimate peace of mind!

Safeeyah is always great - wonderful with the pets, very flexible and always goes above and beyond. Second time rebooking and will do so in the future. Thank you!

Emily was so great with my dog! She was timely and sent me tons of pictures of him. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her 😊

Nina did an excellent job caring for our cats and fish while we were out of town. She was on top of feeding and medication schedules, kept the litter boxes tidy, and the water dishes were all full when we got home. I usually have to do a bit of damage control after a long trip because the pet sitter doesn’t keep up with all the various needs, but I am super impressed with Nina’s work—as far as my pets go, it’s like we weren’t gone at all.

Tina was very communicative and thorough with her questions ahead of the visit to ensure she had everything needed day of without any uncertainties. She also met our dogs twice ahead of the visit for everyone's mutual benefit and comfort. Tina provided detailed notes of our dogs outings, feeding, and activities, along with photos of their time. I know our animals had a great visit with Tina and would recommend her to any perspective sitting needs.

If ever someone would go over and above with a drop in CAT visit, it's Jessica. She did what was required and followed our instructions to the letter, but also provided extra lovin' and treats to our cat, which was greatly appreciated. She also provided lots of pictures and text updates. A+ sitter!

Seanna has cat sit for us twice now and has done an excellent job each time! Even our scaredy cat will come out for her 😻 Would highly recommend!

Olivia took great care of our cats, including our older cat. We got great daily updates and she contacted us when ever there was a concern. We highly recommend Olivia

This is our second time working with Alana and loved her help with our cat. She is fantastic and look forward to working with her again.

I was so glad I had Maddie watching my cats while I was gone. She kept me updated with photos and any other little info that she thought would be helpful for me to know while I was gone. It put me at ease to know my cats had her checking on them consistently and showing them love.

Robert was fantastic! He followed all instructions perfectly, communicated clearly, and took great care of my dog while I was out of town.

Emily is so wonderful! She has always been available and takes wonderful care of Frost. I couldn't ask for a more reliable, friendly puppy sitter for Frost!

Anna is always a lovely sitter! It’s to the point where whenever she picks up the key our cats get excited for us to leave. So kind, reliable, timely, always sends great pictures, and the cats have an amazing time!
