“Merit is absolutely wonderful with our cats. She always goes above and beyond to bring in mail for us, sweep where needed, love on our kitties, and send messages to let us know how we are doing. This past trip was a stressful one to visit a very sick close family member and I never once had to worry if our cats were okay. Thank you for being so wonderful, merit!!”

Thanks for everything, Joanne and Brenda!”

About: Hi, I'm Gessy! I have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, especially pit bulls and small breeds. I've done pet sitting, walking, feeding, playtime, and even given medications when needed. I treat every pet like family-gentle, patient, and dependable. Whether it's for a weekend or longer, your pets will be safe, happy and love with me and my family. I am currently a stay home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weeks days. I do not have a fence yard i have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company, and I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I have always been very good with animals ever since I was little. I like animals more than humans so I promise to take care of your pet like it is my own. I have volunteered at the Human Society and I am going to college to work with animals so I would love to care for your pet to gain more experience. I am currently home from college so I am free all day, Monday through Friday. Then starting in August I will be home Friday through Sunday. I have an unfenced yard but plenty of yard for them to run around and I have a in ground runner that they can be put on for some freedom. I also have two fur babies to keep your fur baby company but they can always be kept separate if needed.
“Really happy that I found my Rover person Rebekah. She is exceptional. She was very attentive to my two cats which we all know cats don’t really need that much attention. She took care of them and calmed my fears of being away. Thank you!!!”
“Nora took excellent care of my two cats. She was there faithfully morning and evening, and sent me photos with updates every visit. I know my girls liked her because there were no accidents, no throw up, nothing destroyed—their usual protest moves when I go away. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter, and Nora was a gem.”

“I needed a short notice holiday week cat sitter and Anna was great! Kitties were happy and healthy when we got home. Anna gives quick responses, consistent drop ins and is a great and reliable problem solver!”
About: I am an experienced sitter looking for new clients! I have started advertising more and more now that we have a bigger space available perfect for your pet(s)! I love animals of all kinds and love caring for them whether it’s a young puppy, kitten, or seasoned companion who needs some extra care and affection. I want to provide you with peace of mind knowing your furry friends are well loved and cared after when you’re away. As a stay at home mother with one school aged child (8) and a 4 year old, I am available 7 days a week with plenty of time and energy to spend with your furbaby! I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and other care no matter the frequency desired/needed. We have a large converted garage completely finished with carpet, natural light, and loads of room to play or sleep comfortably each day. (Photos in profile to show their own personal space.) I like to provide photo updates each day of their stay so you can still be as close to them as possible even while away. I strive to handle each pet with the mindset of they’re your precious family member you have entrusted our family with. I only accept one client at a time to further ensure the safety of your pet. I offer discounts if you have multiple animals that need to stay with us- I’m able to accommodate up to 3 at a time from same household.
“Emma was absolutely amazing. One of our dogs had an upset tummy and she was so kind and patient with cleaning up and caring for him. I would absolutely love to have Emma watch our dogs again!”
About: Caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. I started out sitting for family and friends, and as word spread, I became the go-to sitter for others in the community. I’ve built a strong reputation simply by loving every dog like they’re my own—whether that means long walks, belly rubs, or just being a calming presence when you’re away. Your pup’s happiness and safety are always my top priority. I am a full time real estate agent. I have plenty of time in between showings throughout the day and some days with no appointments at all. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are comfort, consistency, and safety. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel relaxed and secure in their familiar space. I make sure their environment stays clean and cozy, give plenty of attention and affection, and always keep communication open with the owner. Whether it’s sending photo updates or checking in with questions, I want every pet parent to feel at ease knowing their furry family member is in caring, capable hands.
“Lauren is responsive and dependable, and we home to a happy kitty! ❤️ Great sitter!”
About: My first pet was a lab/doberman mix named Mickey. I grew up right alongside Mickey, and, since it was my idea to get a puppy, I often found myself at the forefront of his care. I also quite often walk my friend's dog as well (she had a great dane), so I would say that I have plenty of experience handling big dogs! With that being said, I love to care for all kinds of animals, and I look forward to getting to know you and your furry friends! I currently am a part time student and work part time as a pharmacy technician. I am looking for regular, fun work experience with some pretty great animals! I walked my dog four times and a day fed him on a set schedule. This always allowed us to exercise and build a routine!
About: Before I became a teacher I was a vet tech. I own 4 cats, 2 dogs (one that is blind), leopard gecko, & fish. I have experience w/ sugar gliders & bearded dragons. Also, I volunteer w/ a pet adoption agency cleaning cat cages. I work full time during the week, but if needed I can drop by after work. I am available most weekends with or without notice. I give pets their food and water when directed. I let them out to go to the bathroom, and throw in some love since they are missing you!

Youth cat parents share their Rover experiences
This was our 4th time booking Merit for caring for our fur kids and farm buddies while we moved our oldest into her college dorm this past week. We will continue to use Merit as she is punctual, provides wonderful detailed updates and pics of the fur kids at each visit, and follows through on caring for each type of animal with their own food and water requirements. We appreciate that she also helps tend to my youngest daughters 4-H goats and our family chickens along with our fur kid cats. Our one cat requires special medications and Merit helps with this on a daily basis which we are extremely grateful for. Overall, we can't sing enough praises for Merit and her care of our fur kids and farm buddies. Highly recommend Merit and we will continue to book her services for our future trips!
