About: I bring over a year and a half of professional experience working with cats, handling everything from daily care routines to administering a variety of medications and basic medical support. I also have six months of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to large breeds like Mastiffs, and am comfortable meeting the needs of pets with different personalities and care requirements. I work full-time at an animal shelter, so providing attentive, compassionate care for animals is part of my daily routine. My early morning schedule allows me to spend the second half of my day focusing on giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and love. I share my home with a kitty who means the absolute world to me. He’s the sweetest boy and is always waiting at the door for cuddles the moment I get home. I make sure to keep life fun and enriching for him every day, whether that’s a long play session, brushing (his favorite) or a special treat. Because of how much I care for my own pet and pets at work, I understand how important it is to give animals the love, attention, and patience they deserve, and I’m confident I can provide that same level of care for your pets.

Laura was a great cat sitter! My cat is super shy and Laura made her feel comfortable enough to come out and interact and get pets. She also sent me multiple pictures and an update each day, which was very appreciated since this was my first time leaving my cat with someone I didn't personally know.

About: I've always grown up around dogs since I had two family dogs and my mom does dog sitting as a side job. I helped her a lot in high school so I have a lot of experience with this work. I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I'm currently a college student at UT, I don't have anything going on in the summer so I'm mostly free anytime. I have a lot of time on my hands so I'll make sure to take good care of your pets When I enter other people's homes for pet care work, I make sure to leave the area clean and tidy. Always make sure the doors are locked and the pets are safe

About: My family always had labradors growing up, I learned how to take care of animals the right way. Every dog deserves to go to bed the right kind of tired every night, having been loved and given exercise for the mind and body. A restless pup is truly heartbreaking to me, so if all your dog needs is some attention or if they need a long walk with lots of time to smell, I can help out. I’m only working part time right now, and I need something to fill the gaps. I’m a morning person mostly just because I hate afternoon traffic. I have a big backyard and comfy apartment, I can accommodate anything your pet needs. Also if you have specific instructions for your pup I can follow them to the T.

Meg was outstanding. It is clear that her genuine love for animals is her motivation for offering her services. I had to book last-minute, and ask for a week's long worth of services. It was tough to find somebody willing to watch Skillet last-minute, but Meg was more than willing to and happy to. To me, it is a representation of her passion and love for animals. I would happily recommend Meg to anybody who might be first-timers to the Rover app, such as myself, or to anybody who wants the absolute best for their furry friend. Meg provided a photo and update each time she visited, which gave me the absolute peace of mind that my puppy was in good hands. Thank you, Meg, for making this the best dog-sitting experience I've ever had!

Alyx was wonderful with Hex! She did drop-in visits and handled everything perfectly: keeping the litter clean, making sure he was fed, and clearly taking the time to make him feel at ease. Hex is my world, so it means a lot that he was totally comfortable with her. She also sent the cutest photos, which honestly made my day every time. Super responsive and reliable throughout. Would absolutely book again, highly recommend her!

We had a great experience entrusting Nina with our pets! She was great with our older cat and dog and based on the photos we received from her, they seemed to be big fans as well. She was helpful with dispensing medication and brought in a couple of packages for us, too. We absolutely plan to rebook with Nina!
