“Nothing but praise for Catecha! She helped us out with house sitting our 3 pups with just a few days notice. The pups loved her from the meet & greet. We couldn't keep our oldest dog from trying to get in Catecha's vehicle to go home with her! Communication was immediate. We returned to 3 very happy pups and a house cleaner than we left it!! I would 100% book Catecha again and highly recommend her to anyone with any Rover needs!”


“We have had Hershey for several years now and haven’t quite figured out how to travel that didn’t stress Hershey (and us) out the whole time. Uncle Devin to the rescue!! Devin and Hershey hit it off great. Hershey got to enjoy an stress-free week at home with his new friend, Devin, and we got to relax knowing everything was taken care of at home - and the price was very reasonable. I haven’t been that at ease on a trip in years! Highly recommend Devin!”


About: I have had pets all of my life, and I have helped take care of them from puppies to seniors. I have applied that knowledge into my professional work as well. I can feed and bathe pets, walk, and administer pills. I have previously worked with dogs, cats, birds, and bunnies. I am also close to several animal shelters and help socialize, walk, help with adoptions, and foster when needed. I am currently working as a contractor worker, so I have free time and flexibility to take care of your fur babies! I take care of my own person kitty cat, but other than that I am completely free to take care of your fur kids. When caring for animals at a client's home, I make sure to find out any and all safety features or precautions needed for their pets. I try to make sure the pets stay on their schedule, including any routines they may have such as walking a certain path, going out a specific door, etc.

About: My family owned a pet store in the 80s & 90s. I have experience with cats, dogs, small animals, reptiles, fresh and salt water fish. I am experienced and comfortable medicating pets, ointments, pills, liquid meds, and injectable medications such as insulin. I am currently working part-time. My schedule is very flexible. I am also available to take your pet to your preferred vet if necessary. I will work with each client on an individual basis to meet your pet's needs I understand the importance of maintaining routines. I will always treat a client's home and pets as if they were my own. I will clean up any mess that I may create. I will monitor your pets and provide you with detailed information about any concerning behavior

About: I’ve taken care of an array of dogs since I was a child. Calm, engaged, and fun dog mom. Teacher full time needing a summer gig. I currently work full time as a middle school teacher. I want something to fill my time over the summer. What better way to do it than with animals? My current dog care happens in the morning and afternoon/evening. I currently have open availability aside from a few pre-planned activities. I have a large unfenced yard. I have an older spayed female chipoo that is friendly with other dogs. She is on a set routine which includes going outside multiple times a day, meals twice a day, play time, plus more. I regularly clean the bottom, paws, face, etc. to ensure things are always fresh and clean.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life and have experience working with a variety of breeds and personalities. I’ve also worked through another pet sitting app, Wag, where I provided walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. Pets are family to me, and I always treat them with the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I have open availability when it comes to helping care for your pet(s). I will be doing this full-time until I finish school and I have plenty of help with my own pets so that I can help take care of yours. In my home, pets receive lots of attention, affection, and structured playtime to keep them happy and active. I’m familiar with animal behavior and always aim to create a safe, calm, and engaging environment. I tailor care based on each pet’s energy level and needs—whether that’s play, exercise, or quiet companionship.

“This girl did not miss a beat. She watched our whole firy family for a week and a half and even stayed overnight with them. She was prompt to alert me To abnormal behavior from my older kitty and made sure he was taken care of at the vet. The best part was that she gave extra attention to that kitty for the remainder of the visit like I would have. All of the meds were given and even my vet commented on how well she was doing with my kitty. She updated me consistently for all the pets and set pictures/videos. She even took the trash out to the street and filled the bird feeders I would hire her again for anything pet related !!”


“Diamond was absolutely amazing! She is by far the best sitter we’ve had from Rover. Her attention to detail and the love she gave our boy Kaptain was top notch! We will definitely be using her again!”


About: I’ve had pets of all sorts in my home since I was roughly 12-13 so any pet is home here 🥰 I’d be more than happy to answer any questions. Every morning I wake up and the first thing I do is take care of my fur babies 😂 as ridiculous as that may sound I love them more than life so they’re my priority This is a very broad question and I feel like I could answer it in many different ways but if you as a customer have any questions about the safety of your fur baby, I’m more than happy to answer.

“Megan was great with our 3 dogs on our weekend away. She came for a meet and greet in early July and came back to see them again the week we were leaving to check in with us and make sure the dogs remembered her. We will certainly book with her again!”


About: I've wanted to work with animals my entire life. I had my own dog for 9 wonderful years and recently experienced the joy and responsibility of raising a litter of puppies. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve cared for the pets and homes of family and friends, building trust and gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or special care needs, I treat every pet like they’re my own. This is currently my full time job and looking for new opportunities as I start up my new trades and services. I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. I currently only offer services at clients homes so all our future furry babies can become familiar with me before going anywhere with me. If your pet has any special needs or medicines, don’t hesitate, I have experience with that too.

About: I have been a RVT (a vet “nurse”) for 9 years with some of that working with large animals and also in small animal emergency. I also grew up on a large dog breeding farm. I am experienced with all ages and all breeds of dogs. I can give all forms of medications (insulin, SQ Fluids, oral meds, etc). I have 4 large breed dogs of my own and love every dog I have the pleasure of working with. I also like to leave houses clean from overnight stays. Pet care is a daily routine for me as I have a geriatric large breed dog and all of my dogs are on special food or medications I would care for your pet like it was my own. Daily walks if needed and continuous love and care for them. I want to create a space that doesn’t disrupt their normal day to day activities.

“Brandi is a pet sitting gem! We have two pups with big personalities, and she was patient, reliable, and adaptable. She communicated every step of the way. She maintained professionalism but also loved them like they were her own. Yuna and Bumi hope to see Brandi again soon!”


About: Hi, I’m Josh—and I offer nothing but the most reliable pet care around, tailored to you and your pets needs! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly believe every pet deserves kindness, routine, and a whole lotta love (and maybe a treat or three). From playful pups to wise old doggos, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s: 🐕🦺 Gentle strolls for seniors 🦴 Play-packed walks for energetic pups 🧸 Cozy care for anxious or shy pets 🎓 Basic routine reinforcement …I meet every animal where they’re at. Your pet won’t just be walked or watched—they’ll be nurtured, entertained, and treated like family. Plus, I’m a firm believer in consistent communication! You’ll get updates, pics, and plenty of peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Right now, I’m home full-time—so your pet’s schedule? It becomes my schedule! Early morning potty breaks, midday zoomies, afternoon sunbathing, or evening snuggles… I’ve got the time and the treats. My days are pretty flexible, so whether your pup needs structure or just someone to hang out with while they nap, I can make it happen. I keep things calm, cozy, and consistent—because pets thrive when they feel safe and seen. Basically: if your pet has a routine, I’ll stick to it like peanut butter on a chew toy. 🦴 And if they’re more of a go-with-the-flow type? We’ll create a new groove together. Let me know what makes your fur baby happiest—and I’ll make sure every visit or stay feels like a mini vacation (with belly rubs included, obviously). My home is a peaceful, pet-friendly space where your furry friend will feel right at home. I’m home full-time, so pets are never left alone for long, and I’m always nearby for cuddles, potty breaks, or the occasional “did someone say treat?” moment. A fenced-in yard is in the works soon (yay!), but in the meantime, we’ve got instant access to Academy Springs Park—just a few steps away—and we’re a short drive from the Chimney Park dog park too. Plus, my quiet, sidewalk-lined neighborhood is perfect for low-stress walks and curious sniffing adventures. I keep my space clean, calm, and cozy. No overwhelming noise, no overcrowding, and definitely no chaos. Whether your pet needs space to lounge, room to play, or a quiet spot to decompress, we’ll create the right setup for them. I care for every animal like they’re my own—because honestly, they kinda are while they’re with me. 💛

“Ed is amazing, plain and simple. This is actually my second time booking with him, just first on my new account. Both times he provides dedicated time to my dog and my cats. The walks and updates were incredible. I knew immediately upon meeting Ed he was the right guy for the job. He was so patient and calm with Lily and gently corrected even the worse of her bad behaviors. Highly recommend you book this incredible individual. He’s my go to guy from now on!”


About: I have had animals my entire life, so 30+ years of experience. I know that your fur babies are apart of your family. You can count on me to make sure they feel at home. I currently work full-time. My partner has a very flexible schedule so your fur baby will have several opportunities throughout the day for potty breaks. I have a fenced in back yard. I have two extremely friendly medium sized dogs (both are spayed/neutered). I also have 2 playful cats that interact very well with the pups. All of our pets are inside only.

About: I have been caring for small and medium-sized dogs as pets since I was ten years old. This care included walking, feeding, bathing, etc. Over the past six years, I have become more experienced in caring for larger dogs, including energetic pit bulls! This care includes walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication, and obedience training. I'm currently a part-time college student. Outside of the classes, I attend during the middle of the weekday; I have flexible availability to care for all of your pet's needs. I will care for your loved one as I would my own dog. However, I will make sure to accommodate your dog's comforts and needs as you'd like.

About: Greetings doggy owners!! 💕My name is Scarlett and I am the youngest of 3 siblings. Growing up my job was always feeding and taking care of all of our pets.

shannon w.
“Shannon is simply the best. The most reliable and responsible pet caregiver, she goes above and beyond to make sure your furry friend has everything they need. Not only does she have a deep passion for dogs having grown up on a family breeding facility, she also is highly qualified as a registered veterinary nurse for over 9 years. I have never known someone who is more in tune with my pets. Another great feature of Shannon’s character is her attention to detail.
