About: Im 25 now and Ive grown up around pets and have years of experience carrying for various animals, especially dogs. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and personalities, from energetic working dogs to laid back companions. Your fur baby will feel loved and content in my care. I am comfortable looking after dogs with additional needs/ restrictions. I have experience with diabetic dogs and administiring insulin. I have experience bathing and cleaning out dogs ears. I have no problems with dogs with behavioral issues. I am comfortable muzzling dogs and keeping them away from other animals if that is their preference. I do currently have another job, but also lots of time to get to know your fur baby! My schedule can be a little unpredictable at times, but I always follow through with commitments. Im your girl when you're looking for an 'odd' booking time. Early mornings, random Wednesdays, last minute weekend plans... or maybe you're getting stuck working overtime and you just want someone to make sure your pup doesn't pee on the floor before you get home. I get that life can be unpredictable, and I'm here to help. Safety is of the utmost importance to me, and I believe knowledge/ being prepared is the best defense against things going wrong. Getting all necessary information on your pet will make sure there are no surprises.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, including my own two pups with very different needs. I have hands-on experience supporting dogs through medical conditions, including helping my first dog through cancer treatment and post-surgery care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions from vets. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, providing the patience, support, and comfort they need. On the other end of the spectrum, my current dog is high-energy and requires a lot of mental and physical stimulation, so I’m well-versed in creating enriching activities and structured routines. Additionally, I have experience with reactive and fear-reactive dogs, including reactivity toward fast-moving objects, children, and other dogs. I understand how to approach these situations calmly and safely to keep everyone comfortable. I’m also familiar with certain e-collars and am open to discussing their use with pet parents if needed. My top priority is always to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits and walks. On those days, I’m available early mornings (before 8 a.m.), during my lunch break (12–2 p.m.), and after 4 p.m. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I offer evening walks. Weekends vary depending on my schedule, but I keep my calendar up to date so you’ll always know when I’m available. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playing, giving medication, or providing potty breaks—so your pet feels secure and cared for in their own space. For walks, I always use secure leashes or harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs and know how to create calm, positive walking experiences. I treat your home and your pet with respect, as if they were my own.

About: I've taken care of pets throughout my life, dogs, cats, horses, fish, and chickens. I love walking and will take care of your pets like they are my own. I currently have to go into the office three days a week so I am only available from Thursday afternoons to end of day Monday. I can house sit if you are okay with me being away from the house for 7 to 8 hours a day mid-week. I offer pet-sitting services, where I stay in your home to keep your pets in familiar surroundings and on their routines. I also offer a mid-day and evening dog walking.

About: I’m a huge dog lover. I’ve raised my pup Piper from a puppy to a senior and loved all the phases. Whether a dog is super energetic, needs a long walk, and lots of playtime or very laidback, prefers a shorter walk, and lounging in the sun - I’m here for it all! If you’re interested I’d love to take care of your pup, don’t hesitate to reach out :) I’m a nursing student, currently taking a break to save some money. Basically - I have a lot of free time, and would love to spend that time taking care of your pet! I believe in following your lead and your pets lead! I take pet care very seriously and care for an animal as it’s my own. Any instruction or guideline for your pet will absolutely be followed, and of course I’ll follow your pets cues - if I sense zoomies I will of course commence play time immediately!

About: I have had dogs and cats in my home since I was a child. I've had 2 Huskies (at the same time) so I know what it's like to control strong dogs who love to run. Currently i only accept small dogs under 20lbs. My current dog is small who loves nothing better than to have a pal to play with. All of the dogs I have had have lived out their lives well into their senior years. Some with health challenges. I will be kind and loving to your dog while in my care treating them as I would my own. I'm currently retired and looking to fill my days with work that will keep me active and fulfilled. What better way than to do something I love! My home has a fenced backyard with direct access from the house. For overnight care I have no issues if your pup wants to cuddle up on the bed at night. I live in a great neighborhood for walking with access to parks and forested areas.

We are very thankful to Kiana for taking such good care of our 3 kitties while we were away. We had her stop in twice a day for 1 hour drop in visits to do their breakfast and dinner. She gave great updates after each visit along with some pictures which we loved seeing. Our oldest cat has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day, he also happens to be a bit of a grump sometimes. Kiana was great with him and didn’t miss a single dose which put our minds at ease while away. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their kitties while away.

About: As a passionate critical care nurse, my heart is always with animals, especially dogs. While I dream of having my own furry companion, my unpredictable shift work makes it challenging to provide a stable home for a dog right now. That’s why I would love the opportunity to care for and give love to other dogs in need of attention and companionship. I truly enjoy getting outside for exercise and playtime, especially engaging with their favorite toys and ensuring they have fun. With a flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate dogs of all types and sizes, providing attentive, caring, and personalized care that every dog deserves. If you’re looking for someone who understands the importance of love, exercise, and consistent care for your dog, I’m here to help! I work 2 day shifts (7am-7pm) and 2 night shifts (7pm-7am) and off for 5. Available during the day most weeks and able to accommodate in between night shifts as well :) I have a fully fenced in backyard and a park behind my home. I love getting out for walks and sniffs! They will also get lots of attention and love.

About: Veterinary assistant who has worked in boarding facilities pet sitting and vet clinics for the past 20 + years and loves all pets big and small I have a fully fenced in back yard and crates available for nap time if needed and no other dogs live here at the moment I like to spend as much time as possible with pets who are in my care either with regular walks or one on one time. During the week while I am at work, they are walked before I leave and get let outside for mid day breaks in the backyard .I treat all pets as if they are my own family I have a fully fenced backyard and never leave your dog unattended. If they are crate trained then I do have a few that can be used for when I go out. When I am in your home they get lots of cuddle time and daily walks and always follow whatever routine they are used to in regards to feeding etc

About: I’ve had 5 cats at one time before who 4 of them were strays and I use to help walk my nana and poppas dogs when I was younger. I’ve always loved animals so I thought Rover would be a no brainer. I can do this full time. Outside of the app I started up my own dog walking business! Going to be doing both, the rover app an my business. My dad an I recently moved so we don’t have a backyard to use but I am more than happy to be at the house with your pets so they feel comfortable in their own home.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve always been the person my family and friends ask to help watch their dog or to just stop by to let them out and feed them. I’m also capable of following a routine if needed and or making my own planned out routine for the dog. Currently I work part time at petsmart as a dog trainer where I teach classes for all breed and ages of dogs, I’m an accredited trainer and I plan to be certified in the future. I have experience with puppies all ages and I am comfortable with giving medication to old dogs if needed. Currently I work part time at petsmart so I have lost of free time during the week to watch, walk or let out your dog if needed. I am available also for routine visits for the same pet. For all of my pets I have kept or taken care of, I have always followed a routine that I am either given or I create on my own to I make sure nothing gets left behind or forgotten. My goal is to ensure i reach your dog’s daily needs for the time that I’m there with them.

About: What sets me apart is my patient, gentle, and detail oriented approach. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and slower-paced poopets, and I’m confident managing different temperaments and needs. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my priority. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home. I’m around throughout the day for walks, bathroom breaks, feeding times, and play sessions, so your pet gets plenty of attention and never feels alone. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm space where they can relax and feel at home. I provide a cozy resting area, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I maintain your pet’s feeding and care routines and make sure they get plenty of attention. I also monitor behavior closely and communicate updates regularly.

I also work for a pet store, so I interact with dogs of all ages and breeds every day, including potential high stress situations.

About: Hello! I hope you're day is going well :) My name is Sami and I am ready to help take care of your pet like it's my own. I got my first dog at 9 years old and had to put her down at 16 years of age. She was always my responsibility and I loved her with all my heart. I trained her from the start, taught her how to walk well on her leash, how to do all her tricks, and how to behave. She had a knee surgery at 7 years old that I diligently helped her recover from. I've given pills, hot and cold therapy, and physio stretches for years! I also have two cats with my partner, both are 5 years old. They know many tricks and are in the works of learning to let us brush their teeth! We take them out on walks in the yard (although harness training the one was not easy) and they love it. They are both sweet girls who are very happy and confident in their house :) I also worked at a pet store for nearly five years, meeting and helping different people and their dogs every day. I've learned how to approach unfamiliar animals and how to keep us both safe. I love big and small dogs, friendly and shy cats :) And, I got experience working with rodents, lagomorphs, fish, reptiles, birds, and amphibians too! I'm well versed in herps, especially snakes and turtles but I can care for just about anything you've got. I worked for Sciensationall Snakes!!! and Scales Nature Park in the past so I've got quite a bit of snake, lizard, and turtle training. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting you and your furry friend(s)! I work full time and hybrid as an environmental consultant but I work contract to contract and I’m coming up on a contract break! This means I’ll be taking care of pets full time I currently do not offer boarding at my home for cats or dogs due to my two kitties. They are wary of dogs and I don't want to put them through that stress. They get along okay with other cats, but again it's just not worth it for me to put them through that. House sitting at your home is flexible for me. This can be overnight (depending on my availability and your needs) or during the day. I am best suited for regularly coming to your home for visits, walks, and feeding. This includes visits of a few hours or even most of the day. I will always discuss in detail with you what you expect from me. What commands do you use? What type of reinforcement do you like? Are you are strict positive only household or do you use 'no' and stern voices? I can keep a very watchful eye or merely be some nice company for your pet. You tell me what you and your pet need, and I will do my best to accommodate that.

Katie was amazing! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away for a week. From the updates to the extra attention she gave them, we felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Our cats clearly adored her, and we came home to happy, relaxed pets. Katie is reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
