Micki took great care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very communicative and sent us frequent updates and pictures. We will reach out again next time we are out of town!

Amanda is amazing as usual. This is our 7th or 8th time booking with her. She is always quick to respond to our requests, flexible and pays wonderful attention to our two cats. She plays with them, understands their personality differences, and she provides a detailed report each time of their behaviors and whether they are eating/drinking. She always sends multiple photos, too. Thank you Amanda! You’re a true gem.

About: What sets me apart is my high energy, adaptability, and genuine attentiveness to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s an energetic kitten, a shy senior cat, or a playful pup, I adjust my care style to match their personality and routine. I’m not just here to feed and walk I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I take pride in creating a calm and fun environment, giving you peace of mind and your pet a new best friend. As a student with an open and flexible schedule, I’m able to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I have the time and availability to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, whether they're in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, play, and any special instructions. I'm attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always keep the space clean, calm, and pet-friendly. My goal is to create a low-stress, positive environment while you're away.

About: I have loved animals since I was a little kid, and I grew up surrounded by animals including a cat, two dogs, and a rabbit. As a teen, I was also a junior zookeeper for several years at my local wildlife refuge, helping to care for animals that couldn’t be released into the wild and also educating visitors on the importance of these animals and their natural habitats. For the last 10 years, I have had the pleasure of being the guardian of a sassy little tabby named Moon. I have also had the pleasure to housesit for some other furry friends when their humans were out of town. Currently have a pretty flexible schedule as long as I know a few days in advance what’s up 😊 Which is why I unfortunately can’t take same day bookings. At this time, I am unable to accommodate overnight housesitting requests where a pet cannot be left alone for at least 4 hours at a time. I am committed to making sure that your furry family members are safe and well cared for while they are with me. Please communicate any known issues to me (things your pet likes to chew that they shouldn’t, medications they take, behavior issues, for instance) and in turn I will do my absolute best to keep them safe and report any possible issues immediately.

About: I have loved animals like family as long as I can remember. And feel I have a special connection with them and them with me because of my calm and centered energy. Animals communicate and respond through peoples energy and I feel its how they know to feel safe. I care for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, lizards etc. And am happy to answer any questions on all. I work for myself so I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate most schedule needs of pet parents. I typically make morning and evening rounds and unless I am out of town I am available 7 days a week. I take pride in my attention to detail and upon first introduction I try and get as much information as possible about a clients home and needs pertaining to their pets and what they are used to so that I can do my best to maintain that schedule and activity.

About: If you’re new to Rover, let me know! I can give you a $20 off code to book. ☺️ Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, from Yorkies to Great Danes, cats, reptiles, and more. I’m currently a German Shepherd mom and have a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, working breeds, and dogs with more complex behavioral needs. I’m comfortable with reactive dogs and dogs trained with e-collars. I prioritize consistency, patience, and helping pets feel safe and understood in their environment. I also have experience caring for senior and medically complex pets, including cats with kidney failure, neurological issues, administering subcutaneous fluids, medications, and injections. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m comfortable caring for exotic pets, especially reptiles. Whether your pet needs an active, confident handler or gentle specialized care, I aim to provide dependable, personalized care tailored to their individual needs. 🏡 My house sitting usually includes 3-4 drop in visits each day ranging 1-3 hours each and overnight stay in your home if requested and agreed upon. Otherwise, I will be at your home for potty breaks/feeding/walks first thing in the morning at an agreed upon time and will end the day tucking them into bed before I leave for the night. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I have a flexible work schedule and the ability to work remotely. I can accommodate walks and drop-in visits first thing in the morning, around lunch, in the early afternoon, or in the evening depending on your pet’s needs and routine. I enjoy building consistency and routine for pets so they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’m happy to follow any established care instructions, training protocols, medication schedules, feeding routines, or household guidelines to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible for your pets. Depending on your pet’s needs and energy level, I can do neighborhood walks, enrichment activities, playtime, or outings for more active dogs. I aim to make pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their animals are in capable and attentive hands.

About: I am a fish biologist, but love all animals. I am new to Rover, but my friends and coworkers regularly rely on me to care for their pets. I have cared for dogs with special needs, such as epilepsy, senior dogs and puppies. I have done basic dog training courses with my 30 lb tripod dog and volunteered walking dogs at my local shelter. I will treat your furry family member with love and care! I work remotely from 8-4:30 pm most weekdays, so I’m available to provide attention and fun for your pet most of the day. I usually go to the office on Mondays and Thursdays, but I may be able to accommodate if your pet cannot be alone for 8 hours. I am an active person and would love to take your dog to the park or beach or for walks on trails, if they do well in those settings. If your dog is lower energy, I can match that energy too! I am excellent at following directions and will follow your pets normal schedule. I am observant and will pay attention to your pet’s well-being. You can expect clear and consistent communication if you trust me with your furry family member. I am happy to take your dog for multiple walks a day and accommodate special food or medication schedules. I am a respectful, clean, non-smoker, in my 30s. I work from home on weekdays, so would just require internet access.

About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

Ozlo was a fantastic dog sitter and walker of my two dogs. I was especially impressed with the Rover cards, they had photos, detailed notes, and showed a map of where they walked. I have two medium sized dogs that love people (but also love to chase squirrels, cats, deer, etc) and Ozlo handled them wonderfully. Every visit was on time and the dogs got so excited for their daily walks. I will definitely book again, thank you so much Ozlo!

Elika was perfect for our Puma! She checked in with me every visit with details of Puma's feeding, water and pee and pooh activity. Elika was responsible, respectful and cautious in our home. We arrived home to our well cared for pet, that was happy to see us! When we need a sitter for Puma, Elika is the sitter for us!! Thanks again for your service, Jill
