“Kelly was great looking after my pets, I felt secure knowing she's there taking care of them”

About: I grew up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin taking care of cows, pigs, cats, dogs, and a brother. I also ran sleep away summer camps for ten years. I am excited to help you and your fur baby! I am full time work-from-home. As long as there is an internet connection I can do my work and watch and take care of your fur babies. I am willing to help with all aspects of pet care-walking, feeding, grooming, bathing, brushing teeth, etc. All I need are clear instructions and/or schedule along with any signs your pet is trying to communicate and I am good to go.

“Maggy was wonderful - I can't wait to book her again! Our first time using Rover and she was patient in explaining what to expect during our meet and greet. Even responded quickly when I added a last minute additional visit on very short notice. She clearly loves cats and took excellent care of Skylar!”

Julie K.

“Theresa, came on her own time for a meet-and-great with our puppies. Spend some time introducing herself to them and then was willing to handle any requested task for the puppies while we were out of the house: potty, feed, etc. On her first visit she provided details of what happened: how many poops, pees, who ate, and even a couple of pictures. Thus far, a great experience!”

“Susan was our first ever Rover sitter, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our Ted cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so it's comforting to know he's in good hands when we are gone.”

“Maria was so great with my shy anxious girl ! Provided great updates and photos. So glad we found her!”

About: I am a certified Dog Obedience Instructor and have also completed Service Dog training. I have hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I completed my externship at an animal shelter, where I gained practical experience with dog handling, obedience training, and positive reinforcement. I can provide safe and responsible dog walking, pet sitting, basic obedience training, puppy care, and help reinforce good behavior during walks and visits. I treat every dog with patience, respect, and individual attention. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and training sessions on weekdays and weekends. I can adjust my schedule depending on your dog’s routine and individual needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As a certified dog trainer, I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions and use positive, respectful handling. During walks and visits, your dog will receive my full attention and care.

About: Have had a dog all my life and was lucky enough that all our family dogs slept with me and now, of course, my two little ones and all the ones I host that like to sleep in bed too. It’s like one big slumber party, for the dogs, and well honestly, myself as well and during the winter a little extra heat. For the past 27 years I have had 4 dogs (2 of which I currently am the mother). Have personally trained them to be sociable, sweet, potty trained, and off leash doggies. Typically we go on walks throughout the day for any duration, I just read and follow what they want to do, if my older one wants to go in early I bring him in and continue with the other one. Even when I walk your dogs, I watch them to see if they need to get out more energy or still go potty and try to do my best to make sure they do before I bring them back home (sometimes my schedule or the weather does not allow the extra time, but if it does and they need it, no worries, it’s on me). In the process of an official dog training course so that I have the credentials to do train puppies and dogs on Rover soon. My passion has always been to help people and found out while doing Rover, love to help puppies and their owners too, to get the best dog for you. With consistency, patience, positive reinforcement, lots of love, talking, and more of my secret techniques we normally end up with well behaved, sociable, in the end well trained puppies and dogs. Just depends on how much time you have and what you ideally want your puppy or dog to learn and know. I have cared for puppies and my senior dogs and all the time in between. Have a very flexible schedule and would love to meet, walk, host your dog for doggy day care or to board and care for your four legged friends as if they were my own. Shhhh the dogs I host get even better service than my own dogs and my own dogs are spoiled, really spoiled. Last minute clients are encouraged and more than welcome. As it gives me a reason to keep the condo clean, daily. Love teaching puppies the way of the world. The more dogs the merrier, but if over 4 total, I enlist a friend for assistance. Every dog has unique qualities that will make things easier if I am aware in advance. Safety amd security are main considerations during my time with your dog or cat. Otherwise, if you don’t know yet, I will inform you in my rover card. We learn as we go.

“Collette is the most kind, caring, attentive, responsible sitter! Both of our cats loved her. She is incredibly patient and our shy & overly cautious kitty even loved her. :) We will be booking her again!”

About: Hello! I’m Amber and I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was a child, whether it be my parents, friends, family, etc. I have done non charity work and have experience volunteering at an animal hospital. I have my own pets as well that mean the absolute world to me. I am confident I am a safe person to choose when needing someone to take care of your fur baby. I won’t let you down. I currently work from home as a painter and ceramic artist. So I have a ton of free time to help out with your pet(s). I have a three bedroom house and a backyard. However, I do have 3 cats of my own that are extremely friendly but depending on the situation I can definitely keep your pet(s) separate from mine. I would watch them very closely and play with them as if I was caring for a baby.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, all kinds of breeds and mixes in every size, from lap dogs to big bubbas. I know it can be hard to leave your beloved pet in the care of someone else but rest assured that I will treat your animal with genuine love and care! I am available every weekday from 9:30am-2:30pm and can be flexible on most afternoons/evenings/nights with a few days' notice. Some weekends can be negotiated ahead of time, as well. I will do everything I can to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and engaged during our time together. If you have any speculations or preferences, please let me know- I am happy to accommodate!

“Jenny was reliable and Caring. She returned to our house on her own to check on our dogs when she was concerned! Would definitely book her again in a heartbeat”

About: I may be newer to professional pet sitting, but I am very responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I take time to follow instructions closely, respect routines, and give each pet the attention they need. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care that builds trust with both pets and their owners. I work almost full-time on weekdays, but I make time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to ensure pets get reliable, consistent, and loving care. I care for pets in their own home by following routines closely and making safety my top priority. I ensure dogs are fed, walked, and given attention according to instructions, while keeping them calm, comfortable, and secure. I always respect the client’s home and aim to build trust through reliable, attentive care.

About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !

About: I’ve always grown up with animals and had to be very responsible at a young age for crate schedules, feeding times, play times. Etc. My dog back in my hometown was my pride and joy but since I moved I also do miss that bond every now and then w a furry companion. Part time server / bartender and just needed some extra work but also something that I enjoy doing. Who doesn’t love spending time w fur babies?!? I do have a smaller apartment so smaller animals preferred when it comes to boarding within my own home. Very respectful for other people’s homes and will do whatever is necessary to make sure the home and animals are both taken care of.

About: I've had a dog pretty much at all times since I was 6. My home is affectionately called The Pound, to some, it's called Club Bow Wow. As an adult I had a Jack Russell that crossed the rainbow when she was 17 years old. We had so much fun together, even in her senior years when her lifestyle changed. My current dog Bailey Rose was a rescue that truly found me at a time I thought I was not going to get a dog again. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine! Since adopting Bailey I have fostered 6 pups and she has been the best foster sister. My home has had up to 6 family dogs at the same time, hence the name The Pound. Whether it be for a visit or for sitting dogs love to be here because the feel the love and energy from me! I've boarded dogs for weeks at a time, although I prefer to board for shorter time. We take daily walks and play in my large yard multiple times a day. Your dog will be in safe loving hands with me and they will definitely have a fun time with Team Maggie and Bailey at The Pound. I work from home Monday thru Friday. My work time is pretty flexible so I can take breaks as needed for walks/check-in/playtime. I am also available on weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard. My home has space for your dog to freely roam and I have the space to crate if that is your preference. I have dog beds in my office while I work if your pup likes to be near their human friends.

About: From my childhood being with dogs have been my best friends. I adore their loyalty. I love spending time with them and see them happy. Dogs are a huge part of my life, I can't imagine not having them around me. To be with them and take care of dogs is what I prefer and have fun doing. I can so relate to every dog owners wish for the best care of their dog, just how I do with mine. I'm trustworthy and reliable. I would tend to your dog as much as I do to my own. I love and respect them so much. Dogs enlighten my life. I'm very easy going and flexible person. Tending to dogs comes natural to me because I appreciate them so much. I'm mostly home and don't leave the dogs alone at all. I enjoy going for long walks to the nearest parks and play and hang out with your dog as much as I do with mine.
