Barbara was amazing! She made our first time experience absolutely stress free knowing that our dogs were being well taken care of! She sent an update every night of how the day went along with several pictures. Lexi and Baxter were very comfortable with her and took to her immediately 😊…definitely will be getting Barbara again when we go on our next adventure! Thanks again Barbara!! 🥰

Madeline is Great! My wife and I had a good feeling from her right when we met her. We have never left Ace with anyone overnite before, she is going on 18 years old. We felt very much at ease when we were gone. Madeline kept in contact with us via text when we were gone. We both would recommend her in a second!!

Maddie was a gem. We got regular updates and even when our girl needed a little extra reassuring during storms Maddie let us know. We already have her booked for the next time. Thanks Maddie!

Emily went above and beyond with our puppies. She sent pictures every day, spent LOTS of outdoor time with them and did everything she could to make sure they were not only taken care of, but happy. When she left she cleaned up to the point that we hardly knew she was here. Highly recommend, will definitely be hiring her again!

About: I’ve helped my aunt take care of animals since I was 5. Ever since I’m the go to person for family and friends to take care of their animals. I also have background in doggy daycare and veterinary medicine. I’m currently employed so looking to earn extra money while spending time with fur babies! I’m very flexible and easy to work with!

Leora was delightful right after meeting her; she is kind, easy to communicate with and definitely a pet lover! She greeted my dog and he immediately liked her. Her reviews from past clients were accurate and I felt very comfortable with the care and attention she provided. She was very accommodating to the needs and concerns I expressed in regard to the care I desired and communicated with me on how things were going. I would certainly recommended Leora for pet care to any future clients! I will schedule her again for any future needs if she is available!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so understanding their needs and behavior comes naturally to me. I am very patient and can read dogs well, making sure they feel comfortable and safe in my care. More than just a job, pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy because I truly love animals. I’m not doing this just for the money—I miss my own dogs back home, and spending time with pets brings me happiness. Every dog I care for will be treated like family, receiving love, attention, and the care they deserve. With me, your pet will feel at home. I have a flexible schedule because I work independently and can choose my own hours. This allows me to be available for pet sitting and dog walking at various times throughout the day. I can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of pet owners, making sure their pets get the care and attention they deserve. This flexibility is one of the reasons why pet sitting is a perfect fit for me. I live in an apartment without any pets, making it a calm and comfortable environment for dogs. I have a roommate who also loves animals, so your pet will be surrounded by friendly energy. There is a yard available, although it isn’t fenced in, but I live in a neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks and walking-friendly areas where your dog can enjoy safe and fun walks.

About: I have the most experience caring for Dogs and Cats but have also cared for Fish, Rabbits, a Tortoise, and a Bearded Dragon. I am open to caring for other types of animals. I currently provide childcare 2-3 days per week and will have to schedule around that. I can be somewhat flexible, so if you need help on a day I have marked unavailable, ask. We might be able to work something g out. As a currently pet-less animal lover, I am excited for the opportunity to spend time with and care for your animal(s) according to your instructions.

About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have had dogs in my family since I was 10. I have a flexible schedule and work part-time, so I can work with many other time requests and schedules. I can care for your pet on weekends also. I have a very large yard for your dog to play in and I have 2 friendly dogs to keep them company. I can crate your pet also if needed.

About: Hello All, I'm new to Rover, but I have a lot of dog and cat experience! I have fostered and rehabilitated dogs for the last 6 years along with helping reunite scared lost dogs with their families or dogs that have been abandoned. I'm able to care for animals with medical needs and behavioral challenges. I have the patients and confidence to handle situations that require extra care and understanding. I have worked with feral dogs, dogs from puppy mills, puppies, seniors, and so many other dogs with interesting traits. When fostering I prefer the dogs that need to be rehabilitated and extra care to thrive. I have always had a cat in my home since I was born. I do not foster them but am qualified to care for them as well. I have the snuggling part down to a science. Even with all my experience, I feel it is important to be respectful of the animals' current routines and make sure the animals feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. As a foster dog mom, and an animal owner that travels often, I understand the importance of updating on how your fur family is doing while you are away. You will most certainly get updates. If I sound like a good match to walk, drop in, or overnight sit for your pets, please reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. I have my own business and have found I have a bit of extra time on my hands. I'm not the best at not having a full plate. Joining Rover felt like the perfect way to use my experience while doing something I enjoy. I have a lot of experience with flight risk dogs and take extra precautions to ensure your animals are safe. In my community I assist with reuniting scared newly adopted dogs or dogs that were abandoned and need to be trapped. I do not take the safety of your pet(s) lightly.

Tina is a wonderful and reliable petsitter. She cared for our two Boxers and one cat in our home for 10 days and we got very sweet photos. House was in the exact condition we left it when we got home. All pets were happy. The dogs snuggled with Tina in bed every night, just like they do with us. Shy kitty cat even came around to get some love. Definitely recommend.

About: I’ve grown up with many different kinds of animals from dogs to bunnies & hamsters. I’ve also been around cats my entire life we just never had one in the house because my mom was allergic. I love animals as they have been my entire life growing up! I have been dog sitting for a year now, since January 2025 Pet care takes place in my everyday life because I have an 8-year-old dog and just got a puppy recently. I love to take them on walks and play with them outside. I also love teaching them new tricks and making sure they have fresh food and water. I can take your dogs on walks if they need them daily. I would also love to play with them to keep them entertained and get there energy out. If your dog sleeps in the bed no worries I love to have a snuggle bug next me.
