About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. At a point in time in my household I cared for three beautiful Pitties at once. I am used to caring for large breeds (German Shepards, Dobermans, Pit Bulls, ect). I currently have a lovely floof ball named Bubba, he is Border Collie mix. He’s a timid baby but he loves meeting new dogs. I have always found myself drawn to animals and I would love to join your fur babies pack! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule so I will be available for you pup full-time. I will accommodate your pups needs. I am used to caring for rescues who need some extra love. I have a friendly dog who can keep your pup company. I am a detail-oriented person. I will ensure to follow your instructions so your pups routine is maintained to the T. I am also a firm believer of giving pups an all natural diet without any preservatives, fillers, added sugars, ect!
“If you’re on the hunt for a pet sitter your search ends here. I couldn’t have asked for a more ideal person to watch my cat, Carlos while I was away for a week. My original sitter fell through the day before I was leaving so in a desperate attempt to find someone I messaged a few people on Rover. Lazslo responded almost immediately and we set up a time to meet and go over his care. This is the first time I’ve ever needed to hire a sitter and I left for vacation with great peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. Laszlo sent updates with pictures every day, gave Carlos his medication like a pro, spent quality time with him everyday and even brought us our mail. Laszlo is so thoughtful and trustworthy, I can’t express that enough. Hire this man!”
About: Hello, my name is Faith and I have had pets in my home my entire life. I know how to administer medications, First aid, CPR, Bottle feeding, and I used to work at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I have rescued several animals in terrible shape when I found them and nursed them back to health, so I have plenty of experience when it comes to that if your pet needs some extra care. I have one dog, four cats, and a lizard and home and would love to get to know your pets as well. I am currently working a full-time job starting at 6am but I would be happy to stop by before then on week days if you’re alright with me being there early! I can take them for walks, feed them and administer medications. If you want I could even take them to a local trail and hike with them so they can get away from the house. I work full time Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday starting at 1am and ending by noon at the latest. I can care for your pets after work all the way until I go to sleep that night. I would treat your pet as my own. I don’t mind if your pet needs extra care such as medications or if there is an injury I need to be aware of. Your pet and their health and safety would be my number one priority.

About: Hey, there! My name is Elena:) Originally, I’m from a small town in Missouri. I’m currently staying in Carbondale, IL to continue my education. I have worked in the animal field for over 3 years now. I knew from very early on in my childhood that I wanted to help people. Helping is my passion. And by caring for these furry critters-even the ones without fur-I can also help you guys! Working as a veterinary technician and dog trainer has taught me how to care for breeds of all different sizes, ages and temperaments. To me, taking care of animals is a privilege and a joy.

So, I’m available anytime after 5:00pm during the week and available all day on the weekends. Currently, I cannot pet sit your pet from my home. Simply because my apartment doesn’t allow dogs:’) I have one cat named KitKat. She greets me in the morning with soft meows-breakfast time. And I greet her by helping her get a big stretch! She loves morning and evening stretches. Although she is quite the independent cat, I still have toys, scratching posts and a cat tree to keep her entertained. My cat means the world to me. Caring for her and loving her is a privilege, just as it would be to care for your pets:)

I trained puppies and always pay attention to body language and behavior. I work every other weekend currently at a motorcycle range. My week days are free and so are my nights. I take online classes right now since it is the summer semester. I have my own cat so I keep his space clean and tidy. I feed him on a set schedule and make sure he has plenty of space for his zoomies and play time. He is a single cat and likes it that way. For client’s homes, I will follow any and all instructions for their pet and keep their home tidy and keep their pets clean as well, including litter boxes, food spills, etc.

At my own home, I have two dogs, a cat, and a bearded dragon. My dogs have an electrical fence that spans my entire yard worth several acres in the countryside, and I keep them in the house with me unless I am doing yard work or they need to use the bathroom. My cat mostly stays outside as she is a dark cat, but I take her inside during the colder months. In your homes, I will follow all your house rules, making sure to keep your pets as comfortable as possible; almost as if you were there with them :).
“Ana did several drop in visits to check in on on my kitten while I was away for a week and a half. She was professional and caring.

About: I'm masters student in biology with professional pet care experience from working as an Animal Care Technician/Kennel Assistant at Franklin County Animal Hospital. Here, I primarily cared for boarded cats and dogs by giving medication by injection, orally, and other routes. Additionally, I fed animals as directed to ensured they actually ate, cleaned kennel spaces, and had playtime with dogs after their walks. I grew up with cats and have had the main responsibility of training dogs in my family for all of my life (the origin of my 20 years experience)! In regards to dogs, I've raised 5 huskies from birth all the way up to adulthood. Currently, I have 2 well-trained dogs that LOVE to meet new people and pets: Nirvana, a mini Texas Heeler and Remi, a Husky mix.

Devieanna F.
“I can’t recommend Devieanna enough. She is truly one of a kind when it comes to caring for animals. From the moment she meets your dog, you’ll see how naturally she connects with them. It’s like second nature to her. She doesn’t just provide care, she creates a warm, safe, and loving environment where dogs feel completely at home. Over the years, I’ve trusted Devieanna with several of my pets, and each time she has gone above and beyond. She is incredibly gentle, attentive, and has a real instinct for understanding what each dog needs, whether it’s extra playtime, a calming cuddle, or just a reassuring presence. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog like they are her own, Devieanna is the person you’ve been searching for. She is the kind of caregiver every pet deserves, and once you’ve worked with her, you’ll never want to leave your dog with anyone else.”
