Trisha, sat for my shy cat Violet. Violet uncharacteristically came out to see Trisha on her visits, which was great. Trisha sent daily photos of Violet and a report of her visit. I highly recommend Trisha ,

Andrew was fantastic with our cats, and knowing they were in such good hands really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We have a 1 year old and a 20+ year old, and he did a great job giving each what they needed, whether more play or more snuggle time. He sent us daily photos that showed how relaxed and at ease they were with him, and both seemed happy and confident when we arrived home. We plan to use Andrew again for all upcoming trips!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, mostly chihuahuas and rescues, so I’m very comfortable with pups who need a little extra patience, reassurance, or understanding. My hands-on experience goes far beyond casual pet care. At Miami University, I was part of Paws for a Cause, where we helped train dogs to prepare them for working with children or future companion roles. This gave me a strong foundation in obedience training, reading body language, and supporting dogs with different temperaments. More recently, I’ve been volunteering with the Evanston Animal Shelter, working with dogs who have a wide range of behaviors and needs. There, I’ve assisted with medication administration, training sessions, enrichment, and helping nervous or high-energy dogs feel more comfortable and confident. I’m also on a path toward becoming a Physician Assistant, which adds to my calm, attentive, and health-focused approach. I’m comfortable managing routines, monitoring for changes, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. Overall, I bring a mix of lifelong experience, formal training exposure, shelter work, and genuine love for dogs of all personalities. Your pet will be treated with patience, structure, and plenty of affection. I work full-time as a medical scribe during the day (9–5), so evenings, weekends, and holidays are when I’m most available for pet care. During those times, I’m fully focused on your pet’s needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. My schedule outside of work is very flexible, so I can reliably fit in consistent visits or longer stays. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, crate routines, and any training cues you use. I take time to get to know your pet’s personality, comfort level, and boundaries so they feel safe and relaxed. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and calm companionship, and I always keep water fresh, watch for behavior changes, and send regular updates so you feel connected. If I’m hosting in my home (or doing extended stays), I make sure pets have a quiet, clean space to settle in, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and a consistent routine. Safety is a top priority, doors secured, no access to anything unsafe, and lots of supervised time. Whether I’m in your home or mine, your pet gets patient, reliable care with the goal of making them feel comfortable, understood, and well-loved.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have spent the past few years helping care for all sorts of fur babies ! I’ve helped with dog walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m obsessed with all fur babies and I’m very comfortable handling all sizes and all breeds! We don’t discriminate😆 I am super accommodating! I love going on walks and how cute to have a little companion to get my steps in with! Over the years I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and love are when it comes to caring for animals. I always make sure every fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every single one like they’re my own.

About: I work from home so would be able to stop by morning or sometimes mid-day to care for your pet. My daughter would join me in the evening or on the weekends as her schedule allows. Together, we are interested in helping your pet feel safe and comfortable. We enjoy playing with cats if they are open to that, but we can also keep our distance if that is preferred.

About: I have always had pets of every size. From small cats to large livestock, I can provide care for all types of pets no matter the kind or size. You can be sure your pets are in the care of someone who has seen it all, and loves them all I am currently between jobs, which means I am well suited to accommodate most schedules. After 9am works best if you are further than walking distance, but arrangements can be made. I have one small cat that gets along well with other animals. When taking care of others pets, I treat them with the same care I give my own. I will follow any rules or requests the owner has for their pets and provide for them to the best of my ability.

About: Hi! I’ve been a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve had pets all my life — so I know how much pets mean to their families. My girlfriend introduced me to Rover, and since then, I’ve been all in. I currently walk up to 10 dogs a day and board around 2 dogs each month, and I truly enjoy every minute of it. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy cat who just wants a quiet companion, I treat every pet like my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to pet care, and I always go the extra mile to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’d love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! Pet care is a major part of my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of control over my time. This flexibility allows me to dedicate consistent blocks of time each day to walking dogs, doing drop-in visits, and boarding pets comfortably in my home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust always come first. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure there are no hazards within reach, keep any unfamiliar pets separated as needed, and provide plenty of space for relaxation, play, and personal time. I follow any routines or rules you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure—just like they would at home. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep your pet’s schedule consistent, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m always attentive to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort to make sure they’re safe and happy throughout the visit. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to providing a trustworthy, low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 9 years old. I have walked, fed and played with dogs including my own and other friends and family throughout the years. I am currently very free and flexible Monday-Sunday’s. Anytime of the day works for me and fits into my schedule usually, morning and evening available. I have no dogs but I have a lot of grass space outside where I live. In clients home I can do whatever is requested.

Julia was able to help us within relatively short notice (~1 week before we left for our trip) and was communicative and friendly throughout. She came out a few days before our trip to do a complimentary "meet-and-greet" to go over instructions, meet our cats, and generally put us at ease since it was our first time using a sitter via Rover. We looked forward to receiving her daily updates and pictures, and appreciated how she communicated proactively when minor questions came up.

Rosy was great! We would absolutely hire her again! We had kind of an unusual setup because in addition to our two cats we also had a rabbit that needed caring for. Rosy was so attentive to all of our animals and went above and beyond in caring for them. Her updates were great, and it was so comforting knowing that our animals were in such good hands.
