About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I’ve raised my own dog and cat from puppyhood and kittenhood into healthy, happy adults, and I’ve also cared for the pets of friends, neighbors, and family over the years—ranging from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra support. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, special diets, or just lots of love and playtime, I tailor my care to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities. Ready to spoil your pets with love, attention, and treats (if allowed)! Pet care is woven into my daily routine. I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day—not just during scheduled visits. Whether it’s my own dog and cat or pets I’m caring for, I build my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and snuggles. Being home also means I can keep a close eye on pets, quickly respond to their needs, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved all day long. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s a lifestyle I truly enjoy. In my home, pets have plenty of space to roam, relax, and feel right at home. I have a calm, pet-friendly environment with one gentle dog and one laid-back cat who both get along well with others. While my yard is unfenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and walks are part of the daily routine. I make sure visiting pets get the same love, structure, and attention as my own—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet spot to nap.
“I could not recommend Hillary enough! She is kind, patient, communicative and takes the best photos of the best adventures 🥰 She is the perfect choice for someone to trust with your pet!”
“Ava is a dogs best friend. I am so glad my wife and I chose her As our first Rover experience. We will definitely be hiring her on a weekly basis to take Otis out when we are away! she took lots of pictures, catered to Otis’s specific needs, and when he wasn’t tired yet, went above and beyond and walked him even further! He is fast asleep on our couch, feeling happy and tired from his fulfilling day! We hope that they build and even stronger connection. THANK YOU AVA!!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for friends and family for the last 5 years and it’s always been a welcome opportunity as I was never allowed to have pets growing up. I love nature so long dog walks are never boring. I also have experience petsitting so I’ll make sure your pet is never lonely. I am able to stay with your pet all day and on weekends as well. The longest I would be out is 4 hours, but that would be very intermittent. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and I want the pet to be as comfortable as possible. If the pet makes a mess I will be sure to clean it as soon as possible and the return the place to how it looked before if not cleaner.
“Pilar has been so helpful. She is always very responsive and available. She has been wonderful with Baxter. There was a time when she was walking him and he heard shooting range and panicked. Instead of bringing him right back inside without a walk she sat with him and calmed him down and then was able to get him to walk again. He is clearly comfortable with her and enjoys his time with her!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, feeding and playing with cats, feeding and playing with dogs, and feeding and playing with rabbits! I am a full-time teacher, so I have availability in the summer, weekends, and on school breaks. Also, I am available afternoons for walks or feedings. When I am going in to other’s homes, I am respectful of their space. I will make sure it is as clean as it was when I arrived.
About: I love animals! I’ve never been able to have my own pets so I am thrilled when I get to take care of other people’s pets. It brings me so much joy! I’m currently teaching on and off and looking for longer term work! I have a very flexible schedule that changes week to week with how much I’m teaching or interviewing. In my clients homes I take care of pets exactly as I am instructed to. I try to replicate clients routines exactly. I love to walk on leash and play with toys!
About: Ive been a dog owner for more than 10 years and love dogs. I love taking care of dogs too since they bring me so much happiness. I take great care of them and determined to take care and give pets attention It fits well since i am at home all day and fits with me in general since i love dogs and have had them for most of my life. I take all sorts of care of them as should by taking them out to do their necesitties feeding them and giving them attention and making them feel welcome.
“Annie did a great job walking my nervous dog for the first time. He usually takes some time to warm up to strangers but looks to have had a great time with her from the start!”
“Ella was so wonderful with Mabel, who is still a puppy. She was able to watch her for an hour for me while I was at the dentist and greatly appreciated the support! They had a great time playing and look forward to their next visit! :)”
“I can’t speak highly enough about what an amazing job Rachael did for us. I would absolutely recommend her and higher her again! Give her a try you won’t be disappointed!”
About: would treat your pet as if it were my own. respect, care, trust building, etc. ask me any questions! thank you ! i always respond! I work remote and my girlfriend who also is a sitter on rover works remote 3 days a week, so your dog will never be alone or unattended. Always being cared for as they would be at their own home! Safety is most important for me. House has a fully fenced in yard, gates inside for feeding time, automatic poland spring dog bowl feeder to keep everyone hydrated. No excess or not recommended food to keep dogs from feeling ill. Leashed outside of house on walks.
About: I have watched puppies from 9 months, to adult/senior dogs that are up to 10-14 years. I love all types of dogs, and willing to help train. One of my amazing traits is patience with gaining trust with a scared or shy dog. I did go to Costa Rica and I volunteered with stray dogs who needed help healing and getting back on their paws. I have given medication by mouth, and of course used the “hide the medication in food” technique. (One of my reviews was made by me and I apologize for that, I was trying to test out the app and can’t delete!!🐾) I take care of my cat, as well as I have worked at multiple doggy daycares, so I have a background in watching over dogs who board (sleepover at the facility) and take care of them. Professionally for 5 years, but I have grown up with animals. In my clients home, I always ask for a “schedule” and tend to need them to be in contact with me at most times of the day if needed. I send photos if requested, and will clean, get mail, etc, if needed as well.

“Phoebe is a natural with animals. She’s watched my cat and senior dog many times, and always goes above and beyond—whether that means giving medication, keeping up with special diets, or just offering lots of affection.
