“Kirsten was my first Rover boarding experience and she exceeded my expectations! Her and her family are lovely and treated my cat as if he was one of their own. I got lots of pictures of my cat throughout the week and it looked like he had a blast! Will definitely be asking her to care for him again.”

“Shylina is great! She has cared for our Theo several times and done a wonderful job. She keeps us in the loop on how he’s doing, of any changes and updating us on things we are concerned about while away. She even cleaned up the litter around the litter box without being asked. We highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve loved dogs as long as i can remember, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, had a Labrador Retriever growing up. My passion really began when neighbors would start asking me to dog sit for them. I always knew I wanted to do something with animals (mainly dogs.) a family friend told me about Rover & I immediately knew I had to become a sitter. I am very trustworthy and reliable & easy to reach! I currently do not have any pets in my home which makes me a great sitter if your dog isn’t a fan of other dogs/animals! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs & care for them. I currently only work 3 days a week for 4 hours so I’m VERY flexible! You can always count on the fact that your dog is SAFE. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I will keep your dog leashed unless you say otherwise!

About: Hi! I'm a retired law enforcement officer with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds—from cats and dogs to rats, fish, and even snakes. For the past nine years, I’ve specialized in in-home training for dogs preparing to become service animals, and I currently share my home with three beloved cats. I have been a volunteer with Paws and Claws for the past two years. I bring a calm, dependable presence, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep understanding of animal behavior to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a playful walk, quiet companionship, or specialized attention, I truly enjoy giving pets the care and engagement they deserve. I’m recently retired and excited to begin a new chapter doing something I truly love—caring for animals. I am available mornings, afternoon, and evenings, Monday - Friday and some weekends. I provide loving, attentive care to your pets while closely following any special instructions you share. I'm experienced in walking multiple animals at once, familiar with crate training, and always willing to adapt to meet your pet’s unique needs.

“Stacy was wonderful with my two cats! I’ve never actually dropped them off with anyone before, so this was a first for me. Stacy made the process painless, and was available over a holiday weekend, which was a lifesaver! She provided lots of updates each day, including photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: I'm familiar with several different sizes and breeds of pets. Some dogs, some cats. I'm used to always having a pet around. I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm currently doing what I can for work on my own. I'm hoping pet care can become another thing I do. Let me know what you need accomplished and when. I will do my best to keep your pets on a similar schedule as they are used to. I will also do my best to keep the pets comfortable.

About: I've worked at a couple dog Kennels throughout my life. I have had 2 dogs and currently have a Chocolate Lab names Gus. I've worked with all kinds of dogs, so I know all kinds of behaviors and personalities. I've dealt with giving, applying and administering medications of sorts. Also dealt with tons of fun foods, so if they need special kinds or the food made a certain way it's not a big deal. I'll be working part/full-time soon, but I will still have plenty of time to help out. I can work my schedule out to cater to yours too. I will always make sure the animals are comfortable, fed and hydrated. If they are energetic, then I don't mind spending extra playtime with them. I love the outdoors, so I will definitely be taking walks.

About: When entrusted with the care of someone’s pet, I make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I approach each pet with the understanding that they all have unique needs, personalities, and routines. Here’s an overview of how I take care of pets: 1. Understanding the Pet's Routine Before I begin caring for a pet, I always make sure to have a detailed conversation with the owner. This includes: Feeding Schedule: I follow the exact time and portions for meals, making sure I know if the pet requires any special diet or restrictions. Exercise Needs: Some pets need daily walks or playtime. I ask about how much activity the pet enjoys and incorporate that into my routine. Sleep Habits: Pets can be particular about where they sleep, so I make sure they have a comfortable and quiet space to rest. 2. Health and Safety Ensuring the pet’s health is one of my top priorities: Medications: If the pet requires any medications, I carefully follow the instructions and keep track of dosages. Vet Visits/Records: I keep emergency contact information for the vet handy, in case anything unexpected happens. I also make sure I’m aware of any ongoing health conditions or allergies. Safety Measures: I ensure that the pet is in a safe environment, making sure gates are secure, there’s no harmful food or plants around, and that the pet is always supervised during walks or outdoor playtime. 3. Mental and Emotional Care Pets thrive on positive interactions and mental stimulation: Playtime & Engagement: I make sure to spend quality time playing with the pet, whether it's fetching a ball, cuddling, or engaging with toys that stimulate them. Socialization: If the pet enjoys socializing with other animals or people, I arrange for those interactions, making sure it’s at their comfort level. Comfort and Affection: I give plenty of attention to the pet, ensuring they feel secure and loved. This can include petting, talking to them, and following any specific behavioral instructions from the owner. 4. Cleanliness and Hygiene Maintaining a clean and tidy environment is essential for a pet’s well-being: Feeding Area: I clean the pet’s bowls after each meal to prevent bacteria buildup. Grooming: Depending on the pet’s breed, I make sure to brush their fur regularly, bathe them as needed, and check for any mats or tangles. Litter Box/Restroom: For indoor pets like cats, I make sure the litter box is cleaned daily. For dogs, I ensure regular potty breaks. 5. Monitoring Behavior I always stay observant, watching for any signs of stress, illness, or unusual behavior. I keep track of things like: Eating and Drinking Habits: I monitor if the pet is eating or drinking more or less than usual, as it can be an indicator of health issues. Mood Changes: I notice if the pet seems lethargic, anxious, or excited in ways that are out of the ordinary and make sure to inform the owner right away. 6. Communicating with the Owner I believe that communication is key when caring for someone else’s pet: Regular Updates: I send daily or periodic updates, including photos or videos, to let the owner know how their pet is doing. This helps the owner feel reassured and connected while they’re away. Emergency Contact: If anything unexpected comes up—whether it’s a minor issue or something more serious—I make sure to inform the owner immediately and follow any instructions they may have for such situations. By following these practices, I ensure that the pet receives the best care possible. I am free in the mornings 9 AM to 11 AM most days of the week the rest I’m open the whole day. I also like night walks if the owners preferred nighttime walks. And on my days off from my main job, I have the whole day free to help out. at my home, I try to have toys to make animals more comfortable and treats allowed by the owners and if I were in the client’s home, I’d make sure to stay in the common areas. Make sure to tidy up and play in the common area areas and or outside.

“Araya watched our senior chihuahua while we were out of town, and I am so grateful for her help. Our boy is often cautious around new people, but he immediately fell in love with Araya, and it was clear she has a huge gift for making pets feel comfortable and safe. Araya sent regular updates while we were away, and even extended her visits by an extra day to accommodate a last second disruption in our schedule. I cannot recommend Araya highly enough. Thank you so much for everything!!”

I follow all directions of pet parents as needs change greatly and you know your babies best. I love to go on walks, I can transport pets to parks if wanted, I can provide cares in their home, and for cats or shy/older dogs, I can just keep them company, groom, pet, give treats, and give them love ❤️ I can also provide care in my home to pets on specific occasions.

I'd love to help out and check on your fur babies while you are away or at work. I am available early in the morning before I go to work to check on pets and feed them and in the early evenings. Weekends I have more time to visit and care for pets. If you have specific crate instructions, I will follow them to ensure your pet is safe and happy. I live on a couple of acres, but do have dog leash and cable if needed.
