“Scott arrived on time and my dogs were comfortable with him. He was attentive to them outside when dropping by to let them out and playing with them. Would definitely use his services again.”

“Gretchen was super responsive when I was first trying to book a sitter and all throughout our vacation. She really took time to make sure our kitty felt comfortable and safe with her. Gretchen shared so many pictures, showing us just how much fun our typically shy little girl was having without us! This was our first time needing a sitter through Rover and I will definitely be booking Gretchen again should I get another opportunity to go on vacation. I highly recommend!”

About: I’m lucky enough to have an open schedule, which means your pet will get my full, undivided attention without being left alone for long stretches of time. I’ve taken care of a little bit of everything - dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs - so I’m really comfortable adapting to whatever unique routine your animal needs. My love playing with animals, chilling with them, and just watching them do what they do. One of my biggest strengths is working with pets who are on the shy or anxious side. I know how stressful it can be for them when their owners are away, so I’m incredibly patient. I know how to read their body language, give them the space they need, and just let them open up to me at their own pace until they feel completely safe. I am currently on summer break from college and take care of my own dogs at home. I make sure to give them everything they need from walks to play to just sitting around together. My main priority is keeping a constant eye on your pet and sticking as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I'm staying at your place or visiting, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, which really helps prevent separation anxiety. While I'm in a client's home, I will treat it with total respect and keep everything secure. I will make sure that all doors and gates are locked securely every time I leave your home, and I always keep dogs on a leash during walks. Because I have experience with everything from energetic dogs and cats to smaller pets like guinea pigs, I’m very aware of safety and choking hazards, like making sure small items or dangerous foods are out of reach.

About: I have over fifteen years of experience in pet sitting, providing reliable and compassionate care for dogs in their home environment. Throughout this time, I have developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and the importance of maintaining routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like my own I am an exceptional pet sitter who goes above and beyond to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m extremely reliability, patience, and genuine affection for animals stand out immediately, and I treat each pet with the same care and attention you would give your own. I take the time to understand every animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs, whether that means extra playtime, quiet comfort, careful feeding schedules, or simply giving them plenty of affection and reassurance. Pet owners trust me because they know their pets are not only being looked after, but truly cared for by someone compassionate, responsible, and deeply attentive. I am currently home full time and I’m available for drop in visits, house sitting, boarding, and walks as needed! I’m also flexible and can accept last minute bookings! When your pets are here, they’re family! We make a point to ensure that each pet in our care is treated as if they were our own with plenty of love, care, and attention.

About: What sets me apart is my background as a Licensed Veterinary Technician. While I love playtime and cuddles, I provide a level of oversight that standard sitters cannot. I am proficient in Animal medicine, including insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids, and complex pill schedules. I have a "clinical eye" for the subtle changes in senior pets, ensuring their comfort and catching potential issues early. I am trained in low-stress handling techniques for anxious patients to help keep them happy in their own environment. My years in practice mean I remain calm and decisive in medical emergencies. I provide more than just a check-in; I offer the peace of mind that your pet is being watched by a veterinary professional. I have a pretty consistent schedule and with a pet of my own that has another parent at home with them, I can travel pretty freely.

About: I think animals are to be loved and treated like they are part of the family! Growing up I had 5 cats, 4 guinea pigs, 3 hamsters, 2 mice. Currently I have 2 cats of my own and I love them so dearly. I'm currently in-between jobs so I have pretty much full availability at the moment. Weekends are good for long term relationships, but we can figure something out if you need care on weekdays! I can go to your place and feed animals, scoop cat litter boxes, take dogs for walks, play, cuddle, pretty much anything you would need me to do, just let me know!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes including my own GSD and my wheaten terrier from 8 weeks old to adulthood. I also have experience babysitting my best friend’s Doberman and my mom’s pittie mixes. I currently work full time but I get up early to make sure my dog gets her walk and is fed twice a day. We also hike often on the weekends and lead a very active lifestyle. We currently have a fenced in yard and lots of backyard space to play. We also have the convenience of living in a neighborhood with lots of sidewalks for safe daily walks.

“Jake was exceptional! He graciously agreed to help us at the 11th hour when another sitter fell through before our week away. Jake was prompt, followed directions perfectly, and so sweetly went above and beyond to make sure the house was clean and tidy when we got home. He actually spent extra time with our little guy, which was such a relief to us (we all know the degree of self-torture we go through when leaving a pet at home), and we could really tell that Jake is an animal lover. He sent us awesome pics and updates-it helped us enjoy our week away. Jake was generous with his time and effort, and we will absolutely be asking him to sit for us again!”

“Could not be happier from working with Devyn! Our pups loved her, she followed all of our instructions perfectly, and loved the pictures and updates she sent during each visit. Will book with her again!”

About: Hello! I’m an experienced pet lover with over 5 years on Rover, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. As the proud owner of two Great Danes, ages 1 and 2, I understand the needs of larger breeds, from daily exercise to specialized care. My experience with these gentle giants has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to handle big personalities with ease. Whether you need someone to walk, feed, or simply keep your pets company, you can trust me to provide the care and love they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! I work at schools and have a lot of flexibility in the summer to meet your needs. My experience with large breeds means I’m comfortable managing pets of all sizes, ensuring they get the exercise, companionship, and attention they need. I look forward to giving your pets a safe and caring environment while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities during every visit, walk and stay. When caring for pets in their own homes, I ensure a safe environment by following your routines and respecting any special instructions you provide. I take precautions to make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape points are secure, and I always keep your pet on a leash during walks, using proper harnesses or collars to prevent accidents. I’m also vigilant about their surroundings to avoid any risks, such as unsafe plants, other animals, or traffic. Building trust with you and your pet is essential. I keep communication open, sharing updates and photos so you know how things are going and feel reassured that your pet is in good hands. With my flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate time and attention to meet each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cared for even when you’re not there.
