About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12! Neighbors, friends, and family have been able to rely on me to watch, feed, play with, and overall take care of their pets while they are away. I have taken care of dogs of all ages! I have 2 dogs back home and have trained them both since they were puppies, they are currently 8 and 12! Im currently a student at Coastal Carolina and my schedule is pretty open especially on weekends so I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets while you are away! It fits in naturally by consistency and reliable check ins where I prioritize your pets needs! Im available every day after 11am besides Monday and Wednesday. I care for pets in my clients home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible! I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection! I respect your home by keeping everything clean and tidy and provide regular photo updates so you feel confident your pet is safe, well cared for, and happy while you are away.
“Cheyenne did great with my cat! She took care of him while was away from my vacation. At first, I was so worried leaving him because he sustained a skin condition ( a ringworm like symptoms) & it’s not getting any better. But Cheyenne did not hesitate and willing to do the extra work. She updates me daily about my cat & took some pictures so that I can see his progress. She really gives me peace of mind! When I came home a week after, my cat’s wound is looking much better. Thanks Cheyenne for everything! You went above and beyond!”

“Sam was absolutely wonderful with our cat while we were away. She was able to give him his insulin every day no problem and went above and beyond in making sure he was loved while we were gone.”

“Rikki was very friendly and dependable. I know our Golden thoroughly enjoyed her visits and all the attention and care. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will be using her services in the future.”

About: I found my first boxer in 2000 about a year later I found our second. We now have our fifth. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well. I am currently working a full time job in the local area, my hours are flexible. So I can give your pet the attention they need. I walk my boxer multiple times a day and take him to the various dog parks in the area. Cat sitting I can come to your pet as many times as you need daily to replenish food, clean the litter box.
“Wayne was exceptional in that he was patient and kind to our dog Gunner. Wayne developed a great repore with Gunner from the beginning and we had complete confidence in his ability to care for Gunner. We felt secure leaving our pet for 10 days. Much thanks for Wayne’s support”

About: I've never not had a pup; from bull mastiff and Rottweilers as family pets to a much smaller poochon I've been a dog owner and lover my entire life. I've been lucky to have multiple dogs make it their teen years and have experience caring for a high anxiety dog with severe separation anxiety. I work fully remote with the ability to take your pet out for bathroom breaks as often as they need. I can also provide 2 shorter walks in the morning and at lunch with a lengthier walk in the evening. Your pup will never be alone in my care! They will get plenty of exercise and more cuddles then they can count. We have the ability to crate/gate your pet in a safe place in our home if needed. Easily able to separate pets during feeding if there are any food aggression issues.
“This is the second year using Terese for drop in visits throughout the week. She is so responsive to all texts and provides such great photos of our girl during her visits!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of different breeds and sizes since I was 7. I have taken care of friends and family member’s dogs for the last 10 years. I currently have two pocket pitbulls who I love. The one is a tripod, so I understand dogs that have physical limitations. I work full time as an athletic trainer, so I do not go to work until 1:30pm. My weekday mornings are free, as well as Sundays. I have two pitbulls, one is 5 years old and the other is a tripod who is 2 years old. I take them for daily walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. I have a chocolate 90lb lab and a red bone coonhound. We go to the dog park l, walks, car rides. I love my dogs like they’re family! I do work full time but can tend before/after. I am very flexible! I can stay to make sure everything is done and there are happy pets. I do have a crate if needed with a fenced in yard! I was very very untrusting when I first used this app for my own pets. Let me be the person you go to because you can trust.
“We have rebooked Hannah several times to watch our cat, Rocco. She always does a great job! Thorough report and pictures provided at the end of her visit. She’s a great choice for a pet sitter!”

“Ashley is an awesome pet sitter! We left our kitty (who has never been left alone before) in our home for 5 days. We felt apprehensive leaving Koori but Ashley was excellent! She was consistent, attentive to all of our cat’s needs and very knowledgeable. She also took time to try and befriend our shy cat. We highly recommend this sweet pet sitter!”
About: I grew up in the countryside so i have always been around many animals since my childhood years. I've taken care of dogs and cats of many breeds , I grew up in DR so I had a dog whom gave birth 3 times within the same year and I delivered 9 pups each time. I took care and nurtured all of the pups prior to finding them a new home. I also always took care of two dogs my godfathers sisters had whenever she would travel to Florida they would stay with me. I do it because I love animals and rather make sure their in good care than looked at by someone who’s careless. I work at the wind creek , my free days are Sunday through Tuesday and I am available any time. Wednesday through Thursday from 7-5pm are my working hours. However on these days Between 6pm-10pm I can be available. If needed I can also stay the night , Feeding will be done at 5:45am with a quick potty break prior to me leaving at 6:30am. Furry friends can run free at home and outside , i like taking them on walks and playing with them where with my CoCo i give her treats as she does the things I ask of her like Sit , Stay Still , my dog loves these games. This is a safe space we also have a camera outside monitoring everything. At a clients home I always follow their instructions, usually most clients would leave a small instruction pamphlet for me which I always follow.
About: Hi, my name is Lindsey and I graduated from Montclair State University in 2019 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. I currently work as a medical receptionist/dental assitant at TE Comprehensive Dental in Milford, NJ. One of my favorite things to do is go for walks with my beagle mix, Buster. I have a lot of pet care experience, including hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, dogs and horses. I am willing to care for any other pets you may have besides cats and dogs. I love to exercise and dog walking is one of my favorite ways to do it! I will not only care for you pets, but your house as well. Vacuuming, dusting, washing dishes, you name it! If you need anything done while you are away, please don’t be afraid to ask, I love to clean! I have always been an animal lover, and I guess it’s because animals always seem to take a liking to me. Please contact me, Lindsey, for your dog or cat needs! My typical work day is 7:30am-5pm, so I would be able to provide potty breaks every 4-8 hours. If I know I am watching your fur baby, I will make sure to work around what they need! I have a a Beagle mix at home, Buster. He is great with new people and can be unpredictable when it comes to new dogs. He is very well house trained and is the biggest snuggle bug once he gets to know you.
“Shannon was an exceptional cat sitter for our cat, Ghost! She was prepared and was incredibly thorough at our first meeting. She asked important questions and took notes to ensure she had all the info she needed prior to starting the job. For every visit with Ghost she provided check in summaries as well as photos of him. Usually when we go away for a period of time Ghost is anxious or skittish when we get back - but when we came home from this trip, Ghost was as happy as ever! Shannon clearly took great care of him while we were away. We cannot recommend her enough - she was amazing!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and was always a person that friends and family could count on to help if they needed a dog sitter. I know how to give proper care to dogs of any kind and I am a person that will always make sure they are loved and respected. I currently have completely open availability 7 days a week. I typically only do walks during the day time, but I am open to drop in visits later in the evenings. I unfortunately cannot take dogs to my home with me. I can most definitely take care of the babies in their homes and make sure to follow the proper protocols and rules that are applied from the owners.
“Thank you, Jason, for being Dash’s buddy while we were away. It was fun to see the daily photos / videos. He loves attention and I’m glad he has a new friend we can rely on for future.”

Alpha dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristie cared for our Great Dane while we were away for the week and exceeded every expectation we had. She was always on time, sent us pictures everyday, & followed our specific care guidelines. Most importantly, our pup loved her. We are so happy we found Kristie!
