About: I provide attentive and loving care to pets of all sizes, from small lap dogs to active breeds, as well as bunnies, cats and birds. As I work from home, your pet will receive consistent attention throughout the day, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I take time to understand their needs so they feel secure and relaxed. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own. With my work from home environment I am able to deal with pets all times during the week. I do travel some weeks, in which I will not take on any pets. I am flexible on schedules. In the spring I will note I coach, and may be gone for 2-3 hours maximum on some nights if there is an overnight pet. This scheduling information will of be provided ahead of time to ensure you know exactly how your pet will be cared for. As I work from home your pet will be watched all day. Whether they choose to join me or relax elsewhere in the house is up to their preference. I do not have a kennel and am okay with pets being able to roam. I also want to break up my day so they will get walks every 2-4 hours if they would like. I also have a fenced yard that I can see from my office if they are wanting to spend more time outside. Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I also just graduated with my associates degree in elementary education, and am hoping to spend time with furry friends this summer before returning to my school district! I consider myself very adaptable, and will work with you and your pet to make sure you’re satisfied with my care! Whether your pet needs hours of snuggles or play, I’m happy to be able to spend some time with them! I currently have a very flexible schedule to be able to cater to your pets needs! I enjoy waking up early and getting outside anytime the sun is out! I consider myself adaptable and am able to cater to most of your pets wants or needs. I don’t mind cuddling for hours, or playing and being energetic for hours, whichever your furry friend would prefer!
About: I currently work as a ‘pet specialist’ in a pet store. I have lots of experience with different breeds,ages,and sizes of dogs. I am also experienced with caring for sick or recovering animals that are in need of specific medical attention along with administering medication. I have experience with reptiles, small animals such as ferrets or guinea pigs,birds,and cats as well. I’m more than willing to handle any task or behavioral specific need you have with any pet. Most importantly I promise to provide them with the best care, love, and playtime:) I currently work part-time, only a few days out of the week, so I will have lots of time to make sure your pet or pets receive all of the love and care they would get on any normal day:) In your home I would always approach the pet with caution and tenderness for any pets that may be timid or weary of new people. For pets that are high energy and outgoing they would receive the same back! With lots of love, playtime, and comfortability!
“Chloe is amazing! My dogs can be very shy around new people but they warmed up to Chloe instantly! Her positive energy and warmth made me feel so comfortable leaving my boys in her care! Will definitely rebook with Chloe!”

I’ve cared for diabetic dogs, senior dog and everything in between! I have a Hybrid Schedule for work and 3 days a week I work from home. I only work 15mins from my home on the other two days and came run home quickly to let your fur baby go out to use the restroom. I have gates at all exits in my house so my dog or a clients dog can’t just run out. My back yard is also fenced in for safety but I still wouldn’t leave anyone unattended outside. I always make sure to securely close all doors behind me. Making sure to keep a leg in the door when closing it if a pet is trying to get out.

She definitely is a passionate about dogs! Julieta went above and beyond with my dogs. They don’t make friends easily, but she managed to win them over so quickly and easily…🙏🏻💚 We finally found the right person we can trust to take care of our babies…and I’m so grateful for that.
Katherine was super awesome with my rescue who has major trust issues. It's so hard to line up friends and family to let your critters out for potty breaks when you are away. Katherine makes the process much smoother. I felt very comfortable knowing that she was there handle things. She even sent some pics of the dogs!
Heather was wonderful with our dogs. She showed up for us on a last minute request for the 4th of July. Needless to say that is the hardest day for our dogs with all the fireworks. She helped calm them and care for them while they were stressed and was prompt, personable and communicative. Thanks Heather!
Genevieve is an incredibly calm, patient, and gentle sitter who connected instantly with my guinea pigs, even though they are usually very shy and wary of new people. This was the first time we ever felt comfortable leaving our little ones with someone, as we hadn’t found anyone we trusted enough to care for them and give them their medications (Mazapán is a senior piggy with arthritis, and Mocha is prone to developing stones). Genevieve listened carefully as we explained their cage‑cleaning routine, feeding schedule, and special needs, and she stayed in constant communication with me whenever she had a question. We’re so happy we found her, and we absolutely want her to continue being the one who gives them love and care during our future vacations—which will now be more frequent thanks to her!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
