“Shelly has been our go to for the last few trips we’ve taken out of town. She is reliable, communicative and our critters have really taken a liking to her :) Thanks, Shelly!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing. Not only did she care for my animals but she treated them as they were her own. Before I left for my trip she told me “don’t worry they’re in good hands”. She didn’t lie when she said that. If I need a dog sitter again I will be contacting her!”
“As always, Melissa is the best, and we are so lucky to have her to look after our pets!! She is so responsive, sends great photos of our cats, and gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Briana is the first person we’ve ever seen manage to coax our shy cat out of her shell! Normally while we’re gone, Freya won’t come out from under the bed for anyone, and often, she won’t even accept treats. Briana managed to get her snuggling in her lap after only a few days. It made me feel so much better to know my cat trusted her and didn’t feel too lonely while we were away. Thanks Briana!”
“Makaila was wonderful with my 3 big dogs! They loved her the moment she came for a meet and greet. I knew they were in good hands and didn’t have to worry while on vacation. She sent lots of pictures and videos, which I absolutely loved! I will absolutely hire her again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Jessica is an exceptional pet sitter! She did everything I asked and took such great care of my cats. She truly made an effort to bond with my skittish little ones 😊 I will definitely be using her services again and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Morgan did an amazing job checking in on my cat. I had to book very last minute, and she was so quick and responsive! Very pleased with her communication and care for my kitty. I highly recommend her to look after your pets!!”
About: Growing up on a ranch in Texas, I've had experience with many types of dogs - large and small! I also have a background in Animal Science and worked as a Coordinator for the Texas A&M Veterinary Science Center while in college. I currently own the sweetest (and most spoiled) Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Alfie. I'd love to serve you and your sweet pup! I'm online grad student studying clinical mental health counseling, so I'm home 99% of the time! I am free and flexible to work with your schedule. I will cater to your pups needs and your preferences. Whether that's making sure your dog has his proper medication or prioritizing lots of outdoor play time, I'm happy to provide the services you need!
About: I grew up with 3 dogs, today both my sisters have a dog; a Golden Retriever & a German Shepard. I have watched and cared for both of them, as well as pet/house sitting for other family & friends. I also became a cat dad when I adopted a six year old cat three years ago! I just moved to CT so while I search for a job I decided to join Rover!! 6am-10pm 7 days a week I am available! I can be an early bird or a night owl & I love all animals! I can take your pet on a long run or a short walk and anything in between! Most of my experience is with bigger dog breeds like German Shepard, Golden Retriever, & Pit Bull. I have also cared for French Bull Dogs and other unknown dog breeds. I would love to work with any animals! My favorite part is learning how unique each animals is & getting to know their personalities!!
About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life! Family and friends are always able to rely on me for care of their four legged friends! I have 2 years experience in a veterinary setting and have experience with pets of varying ages and sizes as well as with giving medications. I currently work full time at a veterinary clinic but have extended lunch breaks, early morning availability, and evening times to provide care! I am also available full time on weekends! I currently have 4 adorable cats who have free range of the house, following scheduled feeding times, and receieve regular veterinary care. Surrounded by all the toys and treats they could imagine!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a child and I love them all! I can’t wait to meet your fluffy companions! I do currently work full time for Starbucks so due to my schedule I’m only available on weekends but I can do some week days! If you need a week day specifically you can just ask me and I can tell you if that day works! We feed our corgi twice a day and she gets plenty of play time with me and my husband. She loves playing with our cat as well and we make sure she gets spoiled and I will spoil your dogs and cats the same way I spoil her!
About: New to Rover but not to pet sitting! My family has had dogs my whole life. As the oldest child in my household, I was responsible for all the little guys. Now I have an adorable, sassy cat at home who is a constant reminder of respectful boundaries and unconditional love. I’ve been a contact for family and friends when they need someone to watch or check in with their fur babies. I always want to make sure you and your pet are comfortable around me. I would be honored to care for your best friend. Don't hesitate to ask any questions regarding my services and we’ll see if I’m a good fit for you. I am currently in between jobs so I have a wide range of availability! In the future, I expect to be working part to full time during normal workweek hours 9-5, so would have more availability in early mornings and evenings. I have a fenced in yard and am nearby many dog-friendly trails. To stay at my home, your dog must be comfortable with cats, potty trained, and overall well-behaved. My cat has not had experience with other cats in our home so that is not something I am comfortable with. Around your home, I am happy to stick to whatever practices and routines are familiar and comfortable for your pet.
“Libby was fantastic! My timid cats really warmed up to her while I was away. I really appreciated that she spent time with them to get them comfortable, enticing them with toys and play time. She was very responsive to my messages and consistent with feeding times. I definitely trust her and will be using her again in the future. Thanks Libby! 😄”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 30 years. I grew up around cats and have cared for them for 30 years. I have taken care of dogs for 16 years and also have 20 years experience of taking care of bunnies and guinea pigs as well. I currently work part time so I’m pretty flexible in the mornings and afternoons to do drop ins. If it’s midday, I do have a lunch break at work and can take care of pets during that time. I feed my pets on a regular schedule, always making sure they have fresh food and water. In my clients home, I will adhere to any rules, or tasks that they ask me to do. My goal is to make my clients feel at ease with me caring for their pet so that they don’t need to worry about them when they are not home. They’ll know they are in good hands.
