About: Hi! My name is Rilie, and I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter with experience caring for a wide range of animals. I have cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline routines, behavior, and the patience cats need to feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also pet sat for neighbors with dogs, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. In addition, I have lifelong experience caring for rodents and reptiles, making me comfortable with pets that have more specialized care needs. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize clear communication, consistency, and updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I’d love to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve! I’d love to meet you and your pets—feel free to reach out with any questions! Hi! I’m Rilie, I’m 24 years old, and I’m currently taking time to build flexible, meaningful part-time work while preparing to go back to school to pursue a career working with animals. Caring for pets has always been a big part of my life, and pet sitting is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. Because I’m not working a traditional full-time schedule right now, I have flexible availability and can be attentive, reliable, and accommodating to different routines and needs. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Working with animals is more than just a job for me—it’s the path I’m working toward long-term, and I treat every pet I care for with patience, respect, and genuine love. I provide care in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to remain in their familiar environment and routines. During visits, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter or habitat cleaning, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and safe and adjust my approach based on their personality and energy level. While I’m unable to offer care in my own home, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and house sitting, and I always prioritize consistency, patience, and clear communication. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.

About: I have an indoor orange cat which I adore. I have had several large dogs-german shepherds are my favorite! I can house sit and take care of your cats or one dog when you're away. I have volunteered at animal shelters. One was a cat shelter where I fed and cleaned cages and gave the kitties some play time, the other was walking pitbull dogs at the shelter. If you need someone to take care of your best friend , call me! Thanks! I am available now anytime to house sit or drop in for 30 minute visits or 60 minute visits before work, lunchtime or evenings. Whatever you need. Thank you. I will treat your pets like my own-they're family. I will treat them with respect and care. I'll give them lots of attention. Thank you

“Awesome walker!”

About: I grew up with my grandparents farm and a passion for all animal care! With having everything from dachshunds and labs to everything in between, rabbits and birds all alike! What sets me apart is my patience and passion for all the beautiful fur babies we all love. I currently am in school Tuesday and Wednesday nights 5-7, so I have plenty time to devote to your pups and all of their needs! I care for dogs with staying on schedule with walk time to feeding time, with proper crate time if need be and more than enough attention.

“Tori has been absolutely amazing with Meili. He gets so excited when she arrives and enjoys every moment they share together. Tori does a wonderful job walking him around the neighborhood and makes sure he's very happy the entire time.”

“Cant thank you enough for being so patient with my stubborn pup! I wouldve given up by now but i so appreciate all the love & help youve given her”

“I can't say enough good things about my dog walker! They are incredibly reliable and always treat my pup with such care and affection. It's clear my dog loves their time together, and I have peace of mind knowing my furry friend is in great hands!”

About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 5 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 12 year old daughter who adores all animals! I work Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm but make sure your fur baby is tended to before and after work just as I do my own :) I have a fenced in yard which helps make sure they have lots of space for running around. During the daytime hours while I’m away, the dogs are kept safe in separated areas of the house but are always left with a comfy bed, food and toys. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are either kenneled (if crate trained) or separated when not being watched directly. Dogs are let out in the fenced in yard multiple times a day and are given tons of attention :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a child. We had a family kitty and other family members had dogs. I have experience taking care of families and friends dogs and cats, whether that was staying at their house and following their routines, taking the dogs out for walks, or simply popping in for their meal time. I have a soft spot for cats, but I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love! I currently don’t have a full time job and am applying to graduate school, so I am available when you need me! I am flexible and can work my routine around your pets’ needs. If you need me to stay over in your home, I will be sure to follow every instruction given, and treat it with the utmost care and cleanliness. I am a guest in your home, and am more than willing to follow any guidelines set by you. My goal is to be seamless and incorporate myself into your pets’ routines, as well as keep your home safe and secure.

“Adam has a great way with Finn. I feel good having him watching Finn while I’m away.”

“Eryn was punctual and friendly. She responds promptly to requests and lives nearby which is a huge plus! Will book again”

“I am so happy to have found Sarah! I had a German shepherd mix who is an anxious mess. Sarah spent so much time during our meet and greet to make sure she understood Maizi and felt comfortable. Sarah is thoughtful, caring, patient and great communicator. I am looking forward to continue working with her.”

Julia A.

“Shayla has walked my dog Yogi twice now, and she has been great each time! Our meet and greet went really well, and when it rained on their walk, Shayla took the time to clean Yogi's paws and dry him off. I loved seeing the photos from their walk and playtime on the Rover Card. I look forward to using her again!”

Emily H.

“Collin was great! Super communicative and responsive, took good pictures. Will definitely have him walk Molly in the future!”

Dylan K.

“Paul has been a great asset to getting the stimulation my German shepherd was bred to need! Both of my dogs respond so well to him. They’re very Intuitive dogs that instantly pick up on someone’s nervousness or lack of confidence - but Paul comes in with a confident but clam nature that they sense immediately. Both my dogs have struggled with reactivity - but have had no issues with him.”

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is a 10-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. He is a little guy but has tons of energy, and loves to make friends with all people or other dogs. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but still loves playing with Chico when they are together. On all of my bookings, I like to provide constant attention to your pet to ensure they have as much care as possible. With the pets I've met so far, it was always a ton of fun hanging out with them, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.

About: Dogs have and will always be a huge part of my life. We got our first family dog when I was just 3 years old and the rest is history. My husband Jack is extremely passionate about animals as well and is my partner in all of this so you get two dog sitters for the price of one! Between the two of us your pet will get so much love, cuddles & exercise! I also just want to add that our love for dogs extends to all animals so cats etc are all welcome to come hang with us :) Important Note: if you are reaching out for house sitting my husband and I only take those if we both are allowed to stay the night. We prefer to do this for safety as well as enabling the best care possible for your pet. Your pets will be my top priority & my main focus when they stay with us! I feel pretty confident that they will get more quality time, attention & lovin with me then any other pet sitter! I have a smoke free home and do not have any dogs currently living at my house so your pets will be my only focus! Also a child free home!

“Pat is wonderful! She genuinely cares for animals, and was dependable. She gave my 10 year old chocolate lab the attention and affection she needed during a long work stretch.”
