Pet Sitting Yates

“Emily has been absolutely amazing with my puppy, Cove! From the start, she’s been reliable, trustworthy, and so caring. Cove adores her, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands!”

“Gabi was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly reliable, sweet, and loving. Bazo and Luna can be shy around new people, but they felt comfortable with her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was always on time, responsive, and treated my cats with so much love and care. I would absolutely trust Gabi with them again and highly recommend her!”

About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years through pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I’d love to get to know your pet and become someone you can both count on! I’m a college student who would love to give your pet attention and love while you’re away. I will follow any instruction very closely so their routine stays familiar and they feel comfortable. I’m a college student working part-time, with flexible availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends (my availability varies week to week) I’d love to fit walks and drop-ins! Feel free to message me about specific dates and times. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, and care. I want them to feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, and I’ll send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing!

“Cheryl is the cat whisperer. We have two rescue kitties that hide from everyone. One is much worse than the other as she suffered a scary past before trapped. Cheryl immediately connected with our braver one and the one that hides actually came out to peek at her. This may not sound like a lot to many but this is HUGE for these two. She kept us informed and sent photos and we were pleased. We will definitely use Cheryl again next time we need help.”

“Madison did a great job taking care of my 2 cats while I was away and was flexible with my last minute arrangements! She updated me on how they and the house were doing each time she dropped in and sent me pictures so I could see how happy everyone was!”

“Abby was able to help us out last minute when another dog sitter no-showed. She has great communication and we would absolutely book with her again!”

Ellie L.

“Best cat sitter! So trust worthy and she sent plenty of pictures! She did my exact instructions and was on time everyday. I felt very calm leaving g her with my kitties. Also, both my cats warmed up to her very well and they are normally little scaredy cats. Would highly recommend using Sarah and will use her again on my next trip! Thanks Sarah <3”

“This is our second time with Libby and continue to be extremely satisfied with her care for our cat. We were out of country for 2+ weeks and each morning I would wake up to a visit status along with pictures. She also supported with mail & bird feeding which was much appreciated. Basically I could enjoy my vacation and know all was okay at home and if any issues- I would be contacted immediately.”

About: I've been caring for pets for many years and have experience with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. At one point, I owned two cats and two dogs simultaneously, giving me plenty of hands-on experience managing multiple pets with different personalities and needs. Currently, my partner and I have two dogs: a 2-year-old Husky/Staffordshire Terrier mix and a 10-year-old Staffordshire Terrier. Through training and daily care, they have become well-mannered companions who are leash-trained and respond to a variety of verbal commands. Because I have my own dogs at home, I do not offer boarding services. However, I am happy to provide drop-in visits and house sitting, which allows me to give your pets my full attention while my partner cares for our dogs. I am also experienced in caring for pets with medical needs. Over the years, I have cared for animals with health conditions including kidney issues that required frequent bathroom breaks, accident management, and extra monitoring. I have also cared for a diabetic cat that required daily insulin injections, so I am comfortable administering medication and following specialized care instructions. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra care, I will treat them with patience, compassion, and respect. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I'm an animal lover through and through (although reptiles aren't really my specialty!), and I'd love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. 🐾 I work in person Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and remotely on Fridays. On remote work days, I can provide extra companionship, supervision, and walks for pets who enjoy having someone around throughout the day. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet's individual routine and needs. Whether your pet requires extra attention, medication, frequent potty breaks, or simply some company while you're away, I'm happy to help. I welcome all inquiries and am committed to providing reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe the best pet care starts with clear communication, so I appreciate detailed instructions and maintaining an open line of communication before and during every booking. Whether your pet has specific routines, behavioral quirks, medication needs, or favorite walking routes, I want to know all the details so I can provide the best care possible. I currently have two dogs of my own with my partner, so I do not offer boarding in my home. However, I am available for house sitting, overnight stays, drop-in visits, and dog walks. Staying in your pet's familiar environment often helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent while you're away. I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I am happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for

“My dogs are my children. I don’t trust many people with them. Cynthia is someone I trust with my dogs. She took excellent care of them. She was extremely thorough and detailed. She went above and beyond every interaction she had with my 2 dogs. I was gone for a week and I felt nothing but comfort knowing she was there for them. I highly recommend Cynthia. She’s amazing with animals and just has that way about her. My dogs warmed up to her almost instantly. She sent a ton of pictures to me and documented everything, making me feel very confident. My babies and I absolutely adore Cynthia!!!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, from chickens and horses to bunnies and birds, and there has always been a dog (or two!) in the mix.

I’m available on weekends and select days throughout the week, and my work-from-home schedule gives me the flexibility to provide your pets with plenty of love, attention, and care. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy looking after your furry family members, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a lifelong animal lover with two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. My home has a fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time and play safely under supervision. I also believe in slow, careful introductions when meeting new dogs to help everyone feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routines, respect their individual needs, and treat them with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved! 🐾❤️

About: I have a long long history with dogs. I have had pitbulls all my life and I will forever hold a place for them in my heart! I love all dogs truly. I am open to cats if they are friendly 😅! I do work a 9am-4pm work shift and don’t get home usually until 4:45pm. I am open to drop ins and anything else that helps your travel time truly! I can do frequent walks as soon as I wake up, before I leave for work and any time after I am home from work. Weekends I am usually freed up with a lot of time so I don’t mind walks or anything needed for your pet☺️. I live in an apartment so frequent walks is something i’m completely okay with. I would say if you have pets that don’t work well with prolonged times not using the bathroom I wouldn’t be a great fit just do to my day to day work schedule. Weekends are completely free! I’m comfortable giving medicine on a schedule, long walks or baths or anything your pet may need so you can be worry free! I do have a son that has been around big and small dogs and i’m comfortable training or correcting if needed! Just know any dog or cat is in great hands with me☺️❤️!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages and special needs for 10+ years. The largest dog I’ve cared for in their home was a great wolf hound weighing 165 lbs. he was the biggest baby in the world! I have a 3 year old golden retriever who loves everyone and every dog. I watch a golden retriever who is 8 and a golden doodle who is 1 continuously throughout the year. Looking to add more fur baby dates to calendar for my golden who loves new friends! I’m a nanny and my schedule changes daily but im able to leave to come home whenever needed. Letting the dogs out is no concern :) experienced with all breeds and sizes but dog friendly/ people friendly is a must. 1 dog home- an almost 3 year old golden retriever who loves everyone and every dog. When she isn’t at day camp at pets mart she’s playing with the neighbors dogs. Having doggie friends daily is what she would love. Watching dogs while the owners are on trips is what we are used to. 5-10 days at a time.

Flexible, caring, and detail-oriented. In my hands, your furry friend is guaranteed to be spoiled with love. I have class from 10-11:45 Mon-Wens and 2-3:25pm Tues-Thurs. And typically work retail Mon, wens, sat, sun. I always have Fridays off. And I’m completely free before class or in between work. My schedule is put out weeks in advance so I’m able to communicate what hours I’m available and not. I don’t offer at-home boarding since I don’t have a fenced yard, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll tidy up after myself, stick to their routine, and make sure they’re having fun whilst still maintaining a happy, and safe, environment.
