About: I’m an active person that knows how to take care of animals. I have an Belgian Malinois that is super active and know how to interact with high maintenance dogs. I work from home 4 out of 5 days. Have plenty of free time to do drop ins or animal sit for the day or night. Currently I don’t have animals stay at my house but willing to go to your house for drop ins or pet sitting for any day of the week.
“This was our first Rover experience and Virginia was a perfectly wonderful pet sitter for our cat, Fergus. She came by to meet him ahead of time, sent lots of photos and videos while we were away and, above all, made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her pet-loving hands. We would recommend Virginia highly and hope to find the opportunity to have her help again soon!”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life, and therefore have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and every age in-between. My friends - and especially my partner - call me "the animal whisperer" because of my non-anxious presence that animals seem to notice and be drawn to. In fact, my former housemates tell me that I taught their grumpy, elderly dachshund how to love people! I enjoy playing with dogs, but am also perfectly content to lounge and cuddle with our lazier canine companions. I live in an intentional community with several other housemates, and am therefore unable to bring pets home with me. However, I am flexible when it comes to checking on your pet(s) and spending quality time with them. Considering I will be caring for your pet in your home, I welcome any preferences and suggestions you may have! I'm comfortable being with dogs on furniture, but can also crate them if that's what they're used to. Additionally, I can adapt to feeding and walking schedules.
About: I'm Recently retired, I've owned and cared for pets most of my natural life. From house training to hospice care, I've lived thru it all. Freshly retired, I've got lots of free time to care for your pets. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your awesomely precious pet! I have a large fenced in yard and one very friendly mini- Dachshund. I consider pets to be family members, and always treat them as such.
“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Jeannette made everything such a wonderful experience! She went above and beyond for our kitties and I couldn’t be happier that they were in such loving hands! ❤️”
About: I have my own two, special needs creatures. I have over a year of experience with injection medication and several years with mobility issues. You can trust me to take care of your babies. I am available for weekend drop in visits and holidays. I do work M-F, 9-5. I am here for your evenings that you can’t get home during the week and weekends. I will be very respectful of your home. Having two of my own I am unable to bring your pets into my home but keeping them in their own safe space and respecting boundaries is very important.

William C.
“Will is a thoughtful and honest pet sitter. I felt entirely comfortable having him stay in my home while pet-setting for Jed, my Schnoodle. Will immediately made friends with Jed by throwing his favorite ball - endlessly. Will took Jed for his daily walks, fed him, and made sure he was happy. We never worried when we were away knowing that Jed got such good care.”
Timothy G.
“Tim is truly a dog whisperer. He even got my sister's mean old dachshund to plop down at his side and offer up a few kisses. Everyone was amazed! My Rottweiler is friendly with friends and family but reactive with strange men and dogs, so I don't trust just anyone to handle him. Tim does a great job keeping him under control on their walks even with my older girl riding along in her stroller!”

Lindsay T.
“Lindsay is an excellent pet parent to her two special needs pets (cat and dog) and has an incredibly caring, responsible and loving attitude towards animals that makes me recommend her to anyone needing a sitter/walker. Before she moved out of state, she was my go to for the past 10 years for my two cats whenever I was out of town. Lindsay is friendly, all pets love her, and she will make sure yours are well taken care of always!”
