“Maya was excellent with Rosie and Rudy. I knew they were well cared for while I was away, which gave me peace of mind during my travels!”

About: Hi, I’m Ashling! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, spent my teenage years as the go-to neighborhood babysitter and pet sitter, and today, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful Wheatens of my own. ​Because of my personal experience with dogs of all backgrounds, I understand that every animal is unique. My philosophy is to always meet animals where they are at—building trust at their pace while providing a safe, confident, and structured environment. I'm currently accepting weekday appointments for now and will accept some overnights and weekends. I have a flexible schedule at this point and will be able to care for pets multiple times throughout the day and night. I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and try to follow the schedule and routine to make sure your pet is comfortable in their home while you're away. Their safety and comfort is my highest priority.

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience as a dog foster, which has given me the ability to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to new routines quickly and helping pets feel safe and settled in a new environment. I provide calm, attentive, in home care where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, crate time, or extra play and attention. I’ve cared for both high energy dogs who need structure and exercise, as well as more anxious or relaxed dogs who need a calm, comforting space. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and at home while their owners are away and to keep owners updated so they can feel at ease. My schedule is flexible, I work part time and I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m typically home most of the day, so pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I can adjust my daily routine around the pets in my care and make sure their needs are met on a regular schedule. I provide care in a calm, clean, and pet friendly home where safety and comfort are the top priority. Pets are supervised throughout the day and are never left unattended for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I introduce pets slowly into my home to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all outdoor breaks are always supervised. Inside, pets have a cozy, relaxed environment where they can rest and feel at home. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is allowed by their owner, so they can stay as comfortable as they are in their own home. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially during the adjustment period. My goal is to create a safe, low stress, loving environment, and I provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

“Lexi & Aaron did drop-in visits for Louis, our attention needy :) cat. They were dependable and I'm sure if cats could talk, Louis would say 'they were great!' He was a happy guy when we got home & his litter box was so clean. Knowing someone was dropping in to hang out with him (& give him his wet nummy food) made our vacation more enjoyable.”

“Sarah did it again! We have a whole herd at our house between resident and foster dogs and she gave great care to everyone. We just feel so much better having her stop by when we are gone for a long day.”

“Mallory did a great job checking in on our cat Marvin while we were away on vacation. She provided great updates with photos every visit, and was very professional & communicative overall. Thank you Mallory!”

Nick P.

“Jenn cared for our cats just as if they were her own. She clearly loves cats, as evidenced by the meticulous details she communicated to me about her daily visits with them. We came home to happy cats! I will definitely ask Jenn to care for our cats again in the future.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Recently, my husband and I, lost our beautiful friend, Freckles. She was 14.5 years old. I am retired, and want to help people who struggle with finding someone reliable to care for their furry friends. I've been there! I'm currently working 1 to 2 days per week, very part time hours. Would like to be with dogs occasionally, since my husband and I are not going to get another pet at this time in our lives. I do have a fenced in backyard, not sure if I will be doing daycare or overnights at my house right now. New to Rover, so want to start our with dog walking and dog house visits.

“Could not rave about Hailey more! I had a last minute request and she was simply amazing. I will absolutely be booking with her in the future :) 10000 stars!”

“Amanda is great! We have one senior dog and another with a lot of anxiety. She is so loving towards them and patient with whatever they need. I really appreciate her communication skills and know our pups are in great hands when we’re away.”

About: I've lived and taken care of different types of animals like dogs, cats, and small animals all different sizes as well. I've also taken care of puppies and kittens too and have experience with bottle feeding and giving medicine if needed. Im currently working part time during the week, and every other weekend, but I could definitely hang out with your cats, dogs, or small animals when u need me too. Its me and my boyfriend at the apartment so there will always be someone home to take care of the pets. I have 2 cats and I live in a pet friendly apartment I also have lots of parks and trails to take your pet too.

“Kimberly has been amazing with our little Yeti! He loves when she comes to visit him during the day while we’re at work”

About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to caring for pets with unique personalities and needs, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Currently, I share my home with a lovable, mischievous hound mix who keeps me on my toes and a cat who completely stole my heart. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Jersey, and that experience deepened my understanding of the special bond we share with our pets. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave them behind and trust someone else with their care. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and communication throughout my visits. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that often allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and pet care needs throughout the day. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and building a trusting relationship with both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work from home and have a decently flexible schedule. I have a young son and pets of my own but thankfully I share these responsibilities with my rockstar husband so I will be able to care for your fur babies. I understand that having a stranger in your home can be a little uncomfortable. I will 💯 respect your space and keep things clean in order for your while you are gone. Please let me know your preferences for my stay.

“Kelsey was incredible. First she was extremely flexible as I changed my plans on her many times! I booked out in advance and she followed up with me beforehand. My cats love her and loved to play and be pet! She handled my entry instructions great and I felt very safe leaving my cats in her care and my apartment open to her! I met her in person as well she is so kind. I highly recommend!”

“Katie always goes above and beyond to make us comfortable while we’re away. In addition to taking great care of our kitty, she grabbed packages on our stoop for us to help with peace of mind. Will continue to have her in the future!”

About: I've had animals in my home for as long as I can remember. From fish, cats, and dogs to even tarantulas, I've cared for a little bit of everything. I've also been the go-to pet sitter for family whenever they're out of town. I currently have an 8-month-old kitten of my own, so I'm familiar with the care, patience, and attention pets need to thrive Besides taking care of my own pet, I have a consistent, part-time job and schedule that allows me to commit to the obligations that I've made with other owners. I don't believe in "get in, get out". I make sure any pet gets proper attention and some play time. Pictures of pets for reassurance is something I offer

“Angie was wonderful with communication and photos. I would highly recommend and would use again. Thank you!”
