About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

“Xinia is an excellent dog sitter! She meets my anxious dog at her level and goes above and beyond to ensure her comfort and trust. Xinia is very reliable and I just know my dog enjoys seeing her! I will definitely book her again 😊”

“Sarah was excellent with the pups, including the older one who has some eye issues that required some extra attention and drops. She was communicative on what (if anything) was going on with the dogs and we could tell they were well cared for 😊”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 13 years and understand the importance of consistency, routine, and companionship. I work from home, which allows me to be present with pets during both the day and night. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for family and friends, often staying in their homes to keep pets comfortable in familiar surroundings. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, litter care, basic medications, and providing attentive companionship. I’ve also cared for a bunny for several months, which taught me patience and gentle handling. I treat every pet and home with care, respect, and reliability. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home. I’m able to be present with pets throughout the day for feedings, walks, playtime, and companionship, as well as overnight care. I plan my schedule around pets’ routines so they get consistent attention, supervision, and comfort, rather than being left alone for long periods. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In my client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, walked or let out regularly, and given plenty of attention and companionship. Since I work from home, I’m able to be present during the day and overnight. I keep spaces clean, monitor behavior and appetite, and communicate updates to owners. I’m happy to send regular photo updates so you can see what your adorable pet is up to and feel at ease while you’re away.

“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our pups over the weekend! She did great with administering oral medication to our senior dog and arrived on time and stayed the full length of the visit for every visit. Our dogs love her and we can’t wait to book with her next time!”

“Did a good job with my cats, was flexible with necessary changes due to flight delays. Thank you!”

Michelle G.

“Jennifer had great communication and was always sure to send photos of the kitties during her visits. She was even able to get my shy kitties to come out for treats 🥰”

Ashley G.

“Paige was wonderful with our kitties. They were happy when we returned, so we could tell they'd gotten lots of snuggles. And she pilled our senior cat twice a day, which isn't the easiest task. We'll definitely reach out to her again!”

G E.

“Sarah was able to look in on my two cats on super short notice, giving them food and attention. One of them also needed medicine twice a day, which was no problem for her. She was a life saver!”

Hallie O.

“Angela was great! She is very experienced and very comfortable with any and all instructions I gave! She took great care of my cats, and I never worried about them while I was gone!”

About: I have been part of a dog family since I was 9 years old. Several friends and neighbors have used me as a repeat sitter - I even took care of little doggies in diapers :) now I have several years of pet care experience through Rover. I also have my own dog, a teenage Aussie named Witten, who I’ve cared for the last couple years but who is currently being fostered with a friend who’s home is more suitable for him during my transition to the cities. When I care for your dog, I am communicative and will make sure you receive regular updates (unless you want me to leave you alone!) I’m not afraid to ask a question to make sure I’m always doing the best for your pet. I will go above and beyond, cleaning up trash, vomit, accidents, as needed. I want to work with you to give you the most peace of mind possible that your pet is in good hands. I’m recently moved to the cities and in the job search now, so I’ve got lots of flexibility to care for your pup on their schedule, and/or to stay with them for a meaningful amount of time during the day. My priority is making sure your pet remains feeling safe and cared for while you’re gone. I stay in tune with your dog’s needs so if they need to be calmed, or played with, or cuddled, I’m there for them. My approach is to help them feel loved while also making sure they know I am in charge so they can be safe with me.

“Michelle was a great first sitter to have as an introduction to Rover! She was communicative and shared lots of pictures, and kept our sweet boy from getting lonely and sad!”

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, including lots of hands-on experience with senior dogs. I’m comfortable with their special needs, whether that means giving medications, sticking to familiar routines, or just moving a little slower and offering extra love and patience. I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday and am available for boardings on weekends. I am available Friday after 11am through Sunday. I am also available evenings for walks. I have a yard (unfenced) and live near the river and great parks for walks. I have a friendly cat that loves when dogs come to visit. I can crate your dog overnight or am also happy to have them sleep snuggled in bed with me.

“Thanks Juliane! It was really a comfort to know our kitty crew was were well cared for while we were gone.”
