About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. While this is my first time pet sitting professionally, I’m very comfortable with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience trimming cat claws, and I’m confident handling both playful and shy pets with patience and care. You can trust me to treat your furry family members like my own! I work remotely from home M - T & Th - Friday. I’m free on the weekends. I am happy to stop by to check in with your pets, feed, walk, and give medications. I am also able to stay your house as well. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow instructions closely, keep the space clean and secure, and make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also like to meet with pet owners beforehand to learn about their pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care.

About: I’ve been around dogs the last 20 years and I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 14 years of my life. I love them and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I’ve learned everything I know from my parents who’ve had dogs for 32 years I am 100% free and available whenever you may need I prefer having two days heads up before I can make the plan, but I can also show up For same-day visits as needed I have 2 3-year-old Samoyed girls that are absolute sweethearts who would love to have another puppy or dog hanging out in our fenced in back yard , I can crate your dog easily if needed.

“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with someone other than family. I found Rover while looking for a place to board her. I was able to find and interview potential sitters. Callie stood out to me as when she come over for the interview she had treats with her and my dog fell in love with her instantly! Although it was difficult for me to leave my dog I felt the love Callie had for dogs and it put my mind at ease. She took many pictures of my baby to show she was fine. She took her for a nice long walk which I know Coco loved. I couldn’t be happier!”


“Emily was fantastic and exactly what I needed after my existing plans fell through. She stepped up with little notice and did a great job of taking care of Daisy for me. Thank you again!”


“Spencer was amazing! He took great care of my 17 year old shorkie!”


About: Growing up in a pet-loving household, I’ve had extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve cared for five dogs and five cats, taking on a wide range of responsibilities to ensure their health and well-being. For my dogs, I managed their daily routines, including feeding, walking, and bathing. I also played an active role in administering medication, including insulin injections, ensuring they followed prescribed regimens for their health. I’ve had hands-on experience with basic dog training, helping to establish good behavior and fostering positive relationships with my pets. In addition to my work with dogs, I’ve assisted with the care of our family’s cats, taking on feeding duties and helping with basic grooming. I’ve also been responsible for ensuring their living areas were clean and comfortable, as well as offering companionship and playtime. Throughout my experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and needs, as well as the importance of patience, consistency, and affection in caring for pets I understand that pet care needs vary, which is why I offer flexible options to suit different schedules. On weekdays, I’m available after work to take your dog for walks, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. On weekends I have a more open walking/visit availability. For weekend getaways, I also offer boarding services, so your dog can stay in a comfortable environment while you’re away. If you need boarding during the week, I’m happy to accommodate house-trained dogs, understanding that I work a regular 9-to-5 schedule. Your dog will have plenty of space to relax, with plenty of walks and playtime in the mornings and once I am out of work. I’ll ensure they’re well-cared for and have a positive, enjoyable experience while you're away. I understand that entrusting your dog to someone else requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My home offers a safe, comfortable environment where your dog will feel secure and cared for. With a fully fenced-in yard, they’ll have plenty of room to play and explore without worrying about escaping or running off. Additionally, a covered porch provides a shaded and cozy spot for them to relax, no matter the weather. I’m committed to providing personalized care, ensuring your dog feels at ease in a familiar, homely atmosphere. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priority, and I will make sure they have the best experience during their stay.

“Sarah-Jane is AMAZING! She truly went above and beyond taking care of Gracie & Bodie, communicating with us frequently with details. She kindly cleaned up the yard with the pooper scooper, watered our plants, took out the garbage, swept the floor and left our house super clean. We definitely recommend Sarah-Jane and look forward to hiring her the next time we travel!!”

About: Hello! My name is Katherine and my experience with animals has ranged from volunteering to in home sitting. I am so excited to offer my services and meet your furry friends. Not only do I love meeting new breeds, but I care about their health and wellbeing. My weekly visits to my local animal shelter gives me a chance to showcase my passion for helping dogs who lost their homes. My volunteer experience includes walking, feeding, and caring for various breeds of all sizes! These visits have made me familiar with a dog’s body language that may signal how they are feeling. We meet many new dogs each week that are new to this environment and may be very nervous and timid. This also has given me a chance to learn how I can gain a dog’s trust with friendly mannerisms. I can’t wait to get started on Rover and meet your furry little friends! I have recently graduated with a bachelors degree from college and am looking for opportunities to spend time with animals. Currently, I have a part-time job and have lots of time to care for and visit any animals needing company throughout the week. My dog at home gets daily walks and has a runner in my backyard for when she needs to go outside. I often give her treats when she is being a good girl and notice if she needs to use the bathroom outside. At my local shelter, I am able to feed large and small dogs and leash dogs who are unfamiliar with me. I tend to make sure my posture and manners are friendly with all the pups! I also make sure to notice when a dog needs praising and do not ignore their good behavior!

“Very dependable, and on time. She took care to make sure to send us updates and pictures everyday. I definitely felt safe having her watching my pets❤️”


“Amanda was happy to accommodate my very spoiled dog’s routine and showed her the attention I would in my absence. She was very communicative and I never had to worry that Tessa was being taken care of. Will definitely book again!”


“Lauren is great. I have three big dogs that can be a little overwhelming but from start to finish Lauren handled them well and I felt very comfortable leaving them under her supervision. Lauren is tuned in and asks all the right questions, cares about the dogs and is a very capable, responsible and common sense person. I would definitely hire her again.”
