“Sam was excellent and exceeded our expectations when caring for our golden retriever, Maggie! Loved the updates, pictures and videos! 10/10, would hire again in a heartbeat.”
About: I grew up in a family full of vets, animal enthusiasts, and even zoo staff! I have cared for animals of all shapes and sizes- even raccoons, birds, reptiles, rodents, and of course many cats and dogs! I have a pretty regular schedule each week so it is very easy for me to plan around in order to take care of your furry friends. I have extensive knowledge of pet care and nutrition for my own cats and dog, and I will treat your babies as my own while under my care, ensuring they are happy and healthy at all times! Happy to follow any requests or routines.
“Nick was excellent. We needed someone on short notice to take our energetic dog for long walks for 4 days while my husband recouped from a muscle sprain. Nick was responsive, on time each day, sent Rover Cards documenting the map and time of his walks. Great guy. Our dog took to him like a dog takes to a bone. Will definitely use Nick again.”
“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”
“Met Laura for the 1st time today, and she was amazing and our dog was drawn to her the second she walked in the door. I have been so busy, and immediately felt safe with her letting our dog back in the house. She walked our dog an hour, which was much needed.”
“Katie was so good with our a rowdy 1 yr old- I really appreciated her help with Stella! This was my first time using Rover and I am so glad I did! Stella ended up napping after her walk and play time with Katie so I could work late without a dog in my lap :) Thank you Katie!!”
About: I would love to care for your fur-babies when have to be away. I grew up with dogs and cats throughout my childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. Starting in 2006, I began caring for others' pets in my home, then in 2018, I had more freedom to start house sitting as well. I prefer to watch your pets at their home, as they are generally more comfortable in their familiar environment, especially while their family is away. I am available full-time, outside of the occasional appointment or event. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thanks! I have no pets or young children. I have my own vehicle. I will keep your pet's routine seamless from the time of your departure. I will follow your instructions in order to keep your pets happy and comfortable. Along with your pets, I will treat your home with the utmost respect.
About: 🤩 I’m new to Rover but not new to pet care — with years of experience and a soft spot for pups and kitties, I’m offering intro rates to welcome new clients.. What makes me different from other sitters is that I bring both heart AND experience. With over a decade of hands-on care for dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. • 🐾 Senior Pet Care: I’m patient and gentle with older pets, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. • 🐕 Puppy Know-How: From potty training to managing zoomies, I’ve got the energy (and the tricks) to help puppies thrive. • 💊 Medication & Special Care: Comfortable administering pills, supplements, or other special routines. • 🐈 Shy or Anxious Pets: I know how to give them space, build trust, and earn their affection at their pace. Beyond skills, I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and trustworthy. You’ll always know how your pets are doing because I send detailed updates and fun photos — so you can relax knowing they’re in loving hands. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s a big part of my daily life. Right now, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the attention they deserve. • 🐾 Daily Walks & Drop-Ins: I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, playtime, and snuggles. • 🐕 Weekends: I keep my weekends open for pet parents who need an extra hand — whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or extended visits. • 🐈 Consistency Matters: I build pet care into my day so your pets have a reliable routine they can count on. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or during a walk, I treat every furry family member as if they were my own. • 🐾 In Your Home: I follow your routines closely, from feeding schedules to favorite toys, so your pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep doors locked, double-check gates, and make sure everything is just as you left it. • 🐕 On Walks: I use secure leashes/harnesses and stay alert to keep pets safe around traffic, other dogs, and distractions. Safety comes first, fun comes second (but don’t worry, we’ll get plenty of tail wags in). • 🐈 Trust: I respect your space and your home — you can feel confident knowing I’ll treat it with care, and I’ll always provide updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and safe. My goal is for you to relax while you’re away, knowing your pets are not only cared for, but loved. ❤️
“Lucy is so energetic and loves Bodi. She takes control of him so he trusts her and obeys her. She truly enjoys animals and I am thrilled with her interactions with him.”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. At one point I was taking care of 3 dogs. Currently helping my roommate train her small dogs! I am able to care for pets most nights and weekends! Can stay overnight or make a quick stop for potty breaks, walks, and lovings. I keep a relatively strict feeding schedule but know when to throw in some extra treats for fun. I do my best to exercise with pets and get their energy out in a safe manner.
About: I've been taking care of three dogs since 9 years old. Walked, fed, played, even trained the a bit with my folks. I've dealt with many kinds of dogs form big to small, to loud and quiet, and even the most hyper ones next to the chill ones. I'm a fast learner and always listen closely to the ones that need more attention. Currently I have no work right now, so afternoons and nights are no problem. Weekends are an open day for me so if you need someone over all day, it won't be a problem. Currently I do not have any pets sadly, however I know when to crate a dog, or if you need them to be. Everyone has a different way of caring for their pets, my only concern would be your explanations on how you would handle a situation, and I'll request my own if needed.
About: I have had animals my whole varying from dogs, cats, and other small animals like hedgehogs and chinchillas. I have two cats and two chinchillas at home. I have been dogsitting regularly since I was in college in 2013. I've helped my family, neighbors, and other people referred to me by previous clients. I pay close attention to the animal's care instruction and love spending as much time with the animals as possible! I just recently started a new fulltime job but my schedule is welcoming to sitting. I do work 8 hour shifts with a 30 minute break so please factor that into request of your animals need more frequent potty breaks. I am a sitter that assist clients at their homes. Unfortunately due to my own animals I cannot house animals. When I work with new clients, I like to get a set list of their routine with their animals. I help keep the house tidy and clean when I am dogsitting as well including doing my dishes and before I leave, stripping the sheets of the bed for the client.
About: I have owned and fostered dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have experience with puppies, small, medium and large dogs. I have a great time interacting with and entertaining fur babies! I am currently on summer break from school, so most weeks my schedule is pretty open for the summer. I am typically available weekend and week days. I have experience walking small, medium, and large dogs. I have handled high and low energy dogs and cats. I walk my own dogs daily and have cared for high energy pups in the neighborhood.

“Suli is on time, communicative and knows exactly the right questions to ask. She's reliable for a pop-in or house-sitting an animal house and she is so great about sharing pictures which is always reassuring.”
About: About Me / My Pet Care Experience I have had dogs my entire life, and I truly believe they deserve the very best. I share my home with Leah, a sweet five-year-old Pitbull mix. She’s gentle, curious, and full of playful energy—she brings so much joy to my life, and i love to spoil her. I’ve grown up with dogs and know how important it is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s keeping up with their routines, going for long walks, or just spending quality time together, your dog will get plenty of attention and comfort here. I work from home, so your pup will never be alone and will have lots of company throughout the day. I look forward to meeting your dog and treating them like a part of the family! I work from home so your dog will always have company and supervision. No matter what day it is, your pup will never be alone for long and will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I live in a house with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. Inside, I have two extra rooms set up to comfortably accommodate visiting pups, whether they prefer their own space or like to hang out with me and my pup. If your dog uses a crate, I am happy to provide a dedicated spot for it. Well-trained dogs are welcome to relax on the couch and make themselves at home. My resident dog, Leah, is a sweet, playful female who loves toys and enjoys having a buddy to romp around the yard with. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities for fresh air, exercise, and snuggles in a safe, loving environment.

Marsha R.
“Marsha has been pet-sitting for our family for more than 15 years. She took great care of our older dogs, a Pittie and a teacup Pom, and after they died, she has cared for our next rescue Pittie and rescue teacup Pom. All our dogs are happy to see her, and we are so glad when she is available to stay with them. We don’t worry about our house either, and we know she leaves it in the same condition we left it. The neighbors recognize her from her walks with our dogs, and tell us she is attentive and playful with them. She’s terrific.”

Whether it's feeding, walking, grooming, or simply spending quality time with pets, she approaches each task with patience, responsibility, and genuine affection. What sets her apart is her deep understanding of animals' needs and emotions. She’s incredibly attentive to their well-being and always goes the extra mile to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved.
