About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was 7. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages of my friends, family, and neighbors. I've dog-sat for several days, took them for walks, gave them baths, fed them, and, of course, played with them. I love dogs and I'd be honored to take care of your furry little friend! This job fits perfectly with my schedule, as I am a college graduate currently serving as a Crisis Counselor at Crisis Text Line and I’m looking for work in the mental health field. In the meantime, I enjoy caring for animals. I have my own dog at my home, so I will not be having any clients’ dogs in my home. However, I’m more than happy to feed, walk, bathe, brush, play with, and shower your furry little friend with love and affection! :)
“Bri was amazing!!! She took such good care of my little doggie. So kind and loving. She sent me lots of updates and photos. I highly recommend Bri! I don’t live in the area but if I ever come here again I will definitely ask Bri to babysit Gigi again! She’s the best!”
About: Hi there! I have been on Rover for going on 4 years now, but I have actually been pet sitting for much longer… I love all animals, and I have taken care of any pet that you can imagine (even a bearded dragon, birds, exotic fish, and snakes!) for almost twenty years. When you work long hours, or are going out of town, let me give you the peace of mind that you need - knowing that each of your furry family members is being loved and cared for by someone who is dependable and responsible. Also, I am willing to administer medications as needed. I recognize that each pet is different and their needs will vary depending on the circumstances. I will happily care for and/or walk your pets in your home, where they are the most comfortable in their own familiar surroundings. This is my full-time business, and my schedule throughout the week is very flexible, so I can adjust my days to accommodate the times that work best for you & your pets! I recognize that each pet is different and their needs will vary depending on the circumstances. I will happily care for and/or walk your pets in your home, where they are the most comfortable in their own familiar surroundings.

Michele M.
“Hello, Michele is the first person I reach out to any time I travel and need some help with my pets, or if I have a long work day and can't get home for a while. She has experience with all types of animals that I have had, including dogs, cats, a turtle, and my 2 bunnies. In our town, Michele is always the first person our neighbors go to for pet sitting due to her genuine love for animals and for always going above and beyond what is expected. Most of my pets have naturally been quite timid, but all grew to love her right away! Michele has a dog of her own and with the care she has provided to her over many years, it is easy to tell that she has the passion and responsibility to make you feel safe with your fur babies.”

Pam M.Star Sitter
“Pam is amazing! She is the only person I will trust with my precious cat, Annie, the love of my life. I am very particular & hard to please when it comes to my home & cat. Pam listened to my needs, took careful notes, has always shown up when she said she would. I always come home to my house the same way I left it. She scoops & sweeps up the cat liter & takes out my trash and my door is always locked & my alarm is set when I come home. I can tell my Annie & my home have been well loved & taken care of while I travel. I have been a pet sitter/dog walker for 15 years & am so pleased with Pam, that I have asked her to be my back up pet sitter/dog walker. It is hard to find people to trust but I trust Pam. She always does a fantastic job. My clients are pleased with her work. I recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted pet sitter.”
