About: I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I was 5 years old! I absolutely adore all dogs— all shapes, breeds and sizes🐾 My grandfather has taught me a lot about dogs, he went to dog training and dog school for years. My mom followed along in his footsteps… owning dogs for most of her life. I have a 13lbs Cotton de Tulear that I love with all my heart. She is my everything, my world, my universe… (I’m sure you can understand my craziness here lol). I have thought my dog to walk off leash everywhere (streets, parks, with other dogs, etc). I trust her with my life and I know she trusts me equally as much. I will take care of your precious doggies/kittens as my very own little baby🥹 I speak English & Français! I’m currently working part time as a licensed hairdresser so I have lots of free time to give to your lovely fur babies! My availabilities are pretty flexible, just message me, we can work something out😁 I currently have 3 babies at home— a dog, a cat and a bird! I always ensure my home environment is safe and cozy for them🫶🏻 Before leaving for work, I fluff up their blankies and put on some relaxing meditation music so they feel safe and comforted once I leave the house. I have many coats/sweaters/boots of different variations for multiple weather temperatures to accommodate my baby so she can walk rain, snow or shine (even though she rather not get her feet wet in the rain🤣🥲) If your dog has any sensitivities, health conditions or allergies please let me know! I take your dogs health and wellbeing as an absolute priority🚨

About: I grew up with animals in the home and I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience! I also have the energy levels to keep up with even the highest energy dogs. Aside from a few hours during the week, I work from home. I can adjust my schedule for the most part to ensure every pets needs are met. I live in an apartment with plenty of nearby parks to take them to play. My building is very safe when it comes to other animals being well behaved. I also don't take on multiple pets so your pet will receive all the attention it needs. When I'm pet sitting in your home I like to follow a similar routine to what your pet is used to. In terms of eating, playtime, going to the bathroom etc. That way while you're away they feel more comfortable and safe.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I also have professional experience working with animals, which has made me comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, sizes and needs. I’m attentive, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I have availability for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting on select weekdays and weekends. I keep my Rover availability updated so you’ll always be able to see when I’m available to care for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog at home, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule and care instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take introductions slowly and can keep pets separated when needed. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision and care while they’re with me.

About: I have had cats, dogs and birds since childhood and then raised my children with dogs, cats, Iguanas and hamsters. We all love animals. I am also a certified senior caregiver, recently retired and have references which I am willing to share. Cats and dogs and other pets are truly innocent babies and deserve all the love and care we give to our own children ❤️ I take care of my families pets while they are away and vice versa. I am very recently retired from Senior care and am looking for some fun part time work with some darling little, or big, pet clients! ❤️ I live in a condo and have a small dog, a Boston Terrier mix, that I take for walks on the grounds and in the park. For my client’s larger dogs I would prefer to care for them in their own home.

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals — from Retrievers, Shepherds, Weimaraners to Border Collies, Basset Hounds to Rottweilers , Cats, and even my horse. With years of hands-on experience across all ages and personalities, I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic younger dogs, and sweet seniors who need a slower pace. I take a calm, gentle approach with every dog, reading their cues and meeting them exactly where they are — whether they need confidence, comfort, reassurance, or a little extra patience. I’m also experienced with medication routines and special care instructions, and I always handle those with the same kindness and attentiveness your dog is used to at home. My goal is always the same: to make your dog feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I work during the week, which is why I offer boarding primarily on weekends—when I’m fully available to give your dog the attention, time, and companionship they deserve. My career is flexible, though, so depending on my schedule, I’m also able to offer drop-in visits and walks during the day or in the evenings throughout the week. I always make sure that any service I accept fits comfortably around my work so your dog receives reliable, unrushed, and consistent care. I live in a bungalow with a full basement and a mudroom, so there are very few stairs — perfect for senior dogs or pups with mobility issues. If a dog isn’t comfortable with steps or has joint concerns, I can easily block off or baby-gate the stair areas to keep them safe. My home also has a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room to play, sniff, and explore. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer time outside, I always stay with the dog — I never leave them out on their own. The yard has minimal steps as well, which is great for dogs who need extra care with mobility. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, I want dogs to feel completely comfortable. They’re welcome to sleep in our room on a cozy dog bed, and if they prefer or are used to a crate, I can set that up as well. Whatever helps them feel safe and settled is what I’ll do. When I’m caring for dogs in a client’s home, I follow their routines and house rules exactly — feeding, walks, bedtime habits, comfort items, and any special instructions. My goal is for their dog to feel relaxed, secure, and cared for in their own familiar environment. No matter where I’m looking after your dog, you can expect safe supervision, attention to detail, a calm atmosphere, and lots of love.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by animals, which sparked my passion and provided me with invaluable hands-on experience. My family cared for dogs (2), cats (2), rabbits (1), hamsters (3), birds (10+), and fish (10+). I even practiced horseback riding as a child, gaining experience in stable maintenance and saddling horses. Over the years, I’ve worked in various animal focused settings, including shelters, pet shops, and dog boarding centers, accumulating over 8 years of professional experience. In 2021, I founded Passion for Paws, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rehoming dogs through a foster-based system. As the Founder and CEO, I work to provide exceptional care to every dog that comes into our organization, treating them as if they were my own. Families trust me to care for their beloved pets when they can no longer do so, and I help find those pets loving forever homes. I also hold a certification in dog obedience and behavior and have intermediate knowledge of animal healthcare, particularly with dogs and cats. I have hands on experience administering medications, addressing behavioral needs, and providing specialized care for a wide range of animals. Caring for animals is my life’s passion, and I am confident I can provide your furry family member with the love and care they deserve! As the CEO of my own organization, I have the flexibility to create my own schedule and work primarily from home (about 85% of the time). This allows me to easily adapt my routine to accommodate your pet's needs. In addition to this flexibility, I am a highly structured, dedicated, and active individual, ensuring that your pet will receive the attention, care, and lifestyle they deserve. The care I provide for your pet will be tailored to their unique profile and specific needs. I will ensure they receive the appropriate amount of physical and mental stimulation based on their activity levels. My goal is to keep your pet fulfilled, relaxed, and genuinely happy while you are gone.

About: I absolutely love dogs and so does my partner. We would love to welcome your bundle of joy in our home! We live in a very quiet and homey neighborhood with lots of green spaces and ample nature to go for a walk in. They would be joining our pets, one large dog that is incredibly sweet and accommodating, as well as the gentlest cat ever. I would absolutely love to make this stay special for you and your loved pet! Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions and / or request, I would be more than happy to reply as soon as humanly possible. Thank you so much for your trust. :) We are able to play with them in the afternoons and on weekends, and of course provide them with the regular scheduled food, treats, grooming if necessary. We are flexible, depending on the synergy with our pets. We usually allow dogs to be 'out and about' in the home and provide frequent trips in the back yard and walk them once a day. We work from home a lot. Our dogs play in the back yard for as long as they want daily. Usually any visitors end up tired and happy soon enough 🙂 We have a fenced yard for safety. Our two dogs are super friendly and our amazing cat is a darling. They get along with anyone!

About: Pet care experience: "I've worked professionally as a dog walker and groomer at a boarding facility for several years, caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. Over 14 years, I've handled everything from high-energy puppies to anxious seniors, including leash training, bathing, nail trims, and medication administration. I'm active, attentive, and treat every dog like my own — with plenty of exercise, playtime, and calm routines. Owners get regular photo updates and can trust their pup is in capable, caring hands I work full-time Monday–Thursday, so I'm available for evening care, overnight boarding, and weekend sitting. Fridays I'm off, and weekends I'm fully available for dogs needing active play, multiple walks, and consistent routines. I can occasionally adjust my schedule with advance notice, but my best availability is Friday–Sunday. I live 100m from a park where dogs get multiple daily walks and active playtime. My dog is extremely friendly, well-behaved, and great with other dogs and cats, she's the perfect calm companion for social pups. I'm experienced with behavioral management, crate training, and keeping anxious or high-energy dogs comfortable. All dogs are leashed outside, and I keep emergency vet info on hand. Your dog's safety, exercise, and comfort are my top priorities.

Ashley took such amazing care of our 2 cats over 2 weeks! It was our first time on Rover and we are so happy with her service. It really took a weight off during our trip knowing they were so well taken care of. She really paid attention to the little things and you can tell she loves animals so it all comes naturally. Would definitely recommend her service to anyone :)

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
