Ariella took great care of our very shy and anxious dog Maddie. She was patient and sweet with our girl and even spent extra time during her visits with Maddie to help her feel more comfortable. Will definitely use her in the future!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.

About: I've been around animals since before I could walk, and have always had a way with them. My family and I lived in a trailer park when I was little. My mother always said from the moment I was born the animals flocked to me and there was no animal I couldn't get my hands on. My sister and I used to play with the stray cats outside of Grandpa's house. Pop would always mention how the cat we were holding would never let anyone close enough. Mom would often find "miss kitty in my crib with me. As I got older miss kitty passed away, but had left behind some kittens in her stead. Mom had decided to keep one and named him pudgy. He was a long hair black cat with the tiniest bit of white on his underbelly. I can remember running up and down the hallway and tap my shoulder as if trying to play tag with my sister and I. Pudgy and I had been the best of friends for about 18 years, till his passing. During the years he and I were together, he would often come running anytime he heard me sniffle or begin to cry. There were many other animals that we had over the years as well. Dogs, chickens, goats, rabbits, rodents, amphibians, horses they've been a vital part of my life. But no matter what I always come back to many best friend and the furry felines. If you're looking for a caring, detail oriented, and experienced fur sitter/walker, look no further. From feathered birds no bigger than your hand, to strong horses, I've handled just about anything. While I am new to this app, I am no stranger to animals. Wether they are young babies or older seniors, I would be more than happy to care for your pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and I hope to hear from you soon. I am currently working on getting my EVOC certification for Royal Medical. I will not have my updated schedule until after March 29. When I watch pets I do generally have my 5 yo with me. Availability -pending I have a dog pen out back and a cable that we use with our dogs fairly frequently when the weather is nice. I also have a play pen that the pups play in.

Both our girls are very shy, so I don't think Elizabeth ever saw them or played with them. But it was so nice to know someone was coming in each day to be with them and they weren't alone in the house all day.

Kayla and Demitrius were awesome. They took great care of our four cats over the long holidays. In fact, they really went above and beyond by also feeding a stray cat we've been looking after - they didn't have to do thar but they truly are animal lovers. Our littlest cat is naturally very suspicious but even he had warmed up to them by the end of the holiday. We will definitely reach out to them first every time we need cat sitters.

Corinne was great. She helped us rather last minute when we needed to go out of town for a funeral. She fed both my cat and dog and walked the dog 4 times a day. Highly recommend her services.

Mark was an outstanding cat sitter, and I truly can’t recommend him highly enough. He was an excellent communicator throughout, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. What impressed me most was his ability to connect with our very timid kitty—something that doesn’t come easily. It was clear he was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared. I would call on Mark again in a heartbeat and happily offer my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter.

About: I have been around animals forever. My neighbors have also been trust me to be able to take care of their pets when they go on vacation. I also have 3 cats of my own that I love and adore. I just recently found a kitten and bottle fed her till she was ready to take on solid foods. I would love to be able to give your pets the care they deserve! I have three cats of my own so I wake up early before work to feed them. Then also on my breaks I go visit them because I live close enough to work. I love to be able to spend as much time and play with them as much as possible. I would love to show the same love and care that I show my own. I always make sure not to spook any animals, even if I’ve known them forever. I never want my sudden movements to scare them in anyway and I want them to be able to trust me.

This was our first time using Rover. Riley was helpful in explaining how it worked. She watched our cat for several visits for two days. For each visit she sent information on how the visit went. Unfortunately our kitty would run and hide after greeting her so she couldn’t get many pictures. She even went and found him and sat trying to convince him to come out! He ate well during her visits and she was kind to clean up the dirty cat bowls each time! It’s also very comforting knowing Riley has experience working in a vet clinic.

Shannon was wonderful with our pets. We have a very wacky dog that she was so patient with. She paid attention to all of our cats, and even got our most shy ones to let her pet them. She was careful and attentive to our Crested Gecko as well. She provided thorough updates every visit, and the pictures made us confident our pets were being well taken care of. We would absolutely book Shannon again to care for our family while we’re away!

About: I’ve had animals growing up ever since I was little. I’ve grown up with 4 dogs in the household and currently have my own. I absolutely adore all animals and would love to take care of your beloved animal I work and go to school daily but during the summer, I can definitely be more free. I always take breaks to walk the dogs around the neighborhood. I always be adequate to feed them and give them water throughout the day at their assigned eating times! If the dog is crate, trained to sleep in the crate at night, they’re welcome to sleep in the crate or if the owner wants, they can sleep in the bed with me. I do not mind.

Riley is AWESOME! After about 10 minutes during the meet and greet, our doggy, Honey, had her new best friend! Riley was available on fairly short notice even on holidays that are hard to find someone. She was on time for each drop-in and even transported Honey for us. It’s clear she loves dogs and they love her. Thank you, Riley!!
