Nataliia is a life saver every Monday! She is on time every week and takes Pennie out for an hour long walk. Pennie comes back exhausted and happy.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and seniors. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work fully remote for both work and school, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. This means I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and bathroom breaks without pets being left alone for long periods. I enjoy building my day around the pets I care for, whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s specific needs and maintain consistency, which I know is especially important for their comfort and wellbeing. I take safety and trust very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I closely follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules. I keep the environment clean, calm, and familiar to reduce stress for the pet. Because I work remotely, I’m able to provide frequent supervision, companionship, and timely potty breaks. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and body language and will communicate promptly with owners if I notice anything out of the ordinary. I also ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and prioritize safe, controlled walks and interactions.

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, love, and attention to detail. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and ability to connect with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I have experience with daily care, walking, playtime, administering medication, and keeping routines consistent, especially important for dogs who need extra reassurance. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior who needs gentler care, I adjust to their needs and always put their comfort and safety first. I’m available Wednesday through Friday as well as Saturday mornings/afternoon. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule outside of those days to meet your needs. I provide attentive and reliable care in your home, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for your pet while you’re away. I follow all your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to exercise and playtime—to keep your pet’s routine consistent. I make sure your home is secure during visits and treat your space with respect. Building trust with both you and your pet is very important to me, and I’ll keep you updated regularly so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since I was 14. I was a free-lance dog walker for my neighborhood so I’ve had plenty of experience with many kinds of dogs! I work part-time so I’ll be able to take care of your pups as long as I’m not working. I enjoy taking dogs on walks as I enjoy being active. I have plenty of toys to keep your pups busy as well as my own dog, Tucker, to keep them company! I will play with them and give them as much attention and love as I can.

About: I have cared for a variety of animals over the course of the last 10 years. I personally have owned dogs, cats, ducks, and bunnies. When it comes to my care I always put the pet first. I just started my own business so I’m out of the house from 9-10 hours a day. Cat sitting is probably the best fit for my current schedule. I care for all types of pets with different needs. It is important to me that I consider all expectations from the pets parents as I carry out my services.

About: I’ve cared for many different animals throughout my life, including mammals, birds, reptiles/amphibians, exotics, farm animals, and wildlife. I’ve cared for pets of friends and family. I have experience with overnight sitting in the pet’s home. I also have experience caring for senior and special needs animals. I spent 6 months as a volunteer at a vet clinic assisting with exams and surgical procedures, and I am currently exploring career paths in animal sciences and wildlife rehabilitation. I have lots of availability to care for your fur babies! I work part-time as a waitress while exploring different careers in the field of animal behavior and sciences. I have the flexibility to accommodate to your schedule and needs. I can be available on most weekends and holidays. I also accept same-day bookings. I prefer to care for animals in their own home where they feel most comfortable. As well as walking in areas they are familiar with. I always make sure to maintain pet safety in the home such as keeping doors/windows/gates shut and keeping hazardous items and toxic plants out of reach or locked away.

About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I just got married two years ago and our little girl is two and a half. It's amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. We will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and I offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in my home. My home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)

About: Hi, I’m Ally and I’m a lifelong animal lover! 🐾 Pet Care: I have helped friends and family with house and pet sitting for years. I’ve had cats with many different personalities since I was a little girl, and cared for our family dogs daily my entire adult life. I have experience caring for not only cats and dogs, but birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs, betta fish, and bearded dragons. My three kids grew up learning pet responsibility from the daily task of caring for our beloved Pitt bull, Reggie, who lived until he was 14 1/2 years old.🪽 I believe having a pet makes you live longer and have a more fulfilling life! 🫶🏼 I promise to care for your pets like my own. 🪏 Gardening: Going away and need someone to water your plants? Your yard and plant babies are safe with me! I have been gardening ever since the 4-H program back when I was a kid, so I have a green thumb for vegetable, flower, and herb gardens, window boxes, and, of course, your beloved indoor plants.🪴 Whether it’s your leafy friends or your furry ones, you can relax knowing they are all in loving hands! I am lucky to be home with my kids most days of the week. I work remotely and out of the home part-time so I have pretty open availability to establish a weekly walking or pet care routine with a family or person in need. My schedule is pretty flexible to accommodate your pet and plant needs this summer! 🌞 Ideally, I’d love to find a family, person, or couple that needs weekly help at the same or similar times for a more or less consistent weekly routine, but I’m game for drop-ins and overnight stays too! Allow me to give you peace of mind when you’re away! I’ll take care of things like cleaning and replenishing food and water bowls, taking walks or hikes, and of course giving treats, brushes, or scratches, as needed. I can also take care of tasks like cleaning litter-boxes, pee pads, or possible accidents, as well as perform tick checks and removal!

About: Ive taken care of many large dogs as well as small dogs since I was 15 years old. Many required special needs and certain time frames for each individual one. It fits in perfectly as my job allows me to get in early and leave early leaving me with much of the day to take care of your beloved pets. I have taken classes in dog training and know many ways to calm as well as difuse any situations involving them. I know tips and tricks to make everything a smooth experience for your pets. I always show love and care for each animal I watch as I know there family would for them. Animals have and will always be my passion

About: Hi! I’m Charlie, an active, patient, and reliable pet lover who’s comfortable caring for both cats and dogs of all personalities. I’ve grown up around animals and have experience with high-energy pups, cuddly lap dogs, independent cats, and shy kitties that need a little extra trust-building. Whether your pet wants long walks, energetic playtime, or just someone to sit with them and keep their routine steady, I’m there to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m great with following schedules, reading animal body language, and giving each pet the care that fits their personality. I’ll be home for winter break and available full time for pet care. My schedule is extremely flexible, and I can accommodate most requests. Daily Availability: 🐶 Dog Walks / Drop-In Visits: • 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM (early morning, midday, and evening walks available) 🐱 Cat Care Visits: • Anytime between 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM 🏡 House Sitting / Overnight Care: • Available most night during winter break What You Can Expect: • Consistent scheduling • Fast communication • Multiple visits per day if needed • Reliable full-time care while you’re away Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take every visit seriously and make sure your cat or dog is cared for with the same attention and responsibility I’d want for my own pets. I always follow your instructions closely — from feeding routines and walk preferences to medication schedules and personality notes. I’m patient, gentle, and confident handling shy, energetic, or anxious pets, and I keep a calm environment so they feel secure. You’ll get consistent communication, photo updates, and quick responses from me. I double-check doors, leashes, and gates, and make sure your home is locked and secure before I leave. My goal is simple: you should feel completely comfortable trusting me with your pet and your home, and your pet should feel safe, relaxed, and cared for every time I’m there.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I can remember and have 10 years of veterinary technician experience under my belt. That being said, I am willing to administer medication, treatments or provide any special requests while caring for your pet. Due to the nature of my work, I have experience with basic training and reinforcing any current training methods you may be practicing. I am also very skilled at handling reactive/excitable dogs. I have cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, farm animals and exotics. I had my own rescue farm in Florida & am comfortable with looking after livestock in addition to house pets. I have extensive experience with hospice, palliative & chronic illness support so I am comfortable caring for pets in all stages of their life. I believe that I have a natural connection with animals and truly enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I can assure you that your pets, of all kind, will be well cared for and treated as if they were my own. Feel free to contact me to discuss pricing & availability. I do offer discounted rates for extended stays & multiple consecutive visits but please keep in mind that 20% of my earnings are withheld by the app to cover their fees. I have taken a sabbatical from working in a vet hospital setting and am currently working for myself, from home. This allows me to accommodate most scheduling needs, that your pet may require. I will be sure to follow all precautions when visiting your home to ensure the safety of your pet. Whether it’s leashed walks or playtime in the backyard you can rest assured that they will be safe with me!
