About: I am a passionate animal lover with over ten years of experience in pet care. I've developed a strong bond with animals through caring for my own pets growing up, as well as looking after the pets of friends over the years. I currently have a cat of my own and have cared for pets at all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. I live alone in a spacious 4-bedroom home with a fully fenced backyard, offering a safe and comfortable environment for pets. As I work from home, I am available to care for pets 24/7, ensuring they receive constant attention and love. I work from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. In addition to a fenced backyard, there are several parks just a few minutes away for dog walks. For cats, I have multiple cat trees and perches around the house, providing plenty of space for them to explore and relax during their stay. I work from home and lead an active lifestyle, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets while pet sitting. My house is spacious with a fenced backyard, and there are large parks just a few minutes away for dog walks. As a cat mom, I’ve got several cat trees and lots of fun toys for cats to enjoy. When caring for any pet, I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions exactly.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have one dog at home, while my other dog lives with my parents — so I'm very used to caring for multiple dogs in different settings. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, administering medication, basic training reinforcement, and senior dog care. Working from home means I can give constant attention and stick to your pet's usual routine. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, quiet companionship, or careful supervision, I have the experience and flexibility to provide it. I work from home full-time, so I’m around all day to care for pets. I currently have one dog living with me. Since I’m always home, I can offer frequent walks, playtime, feeding on schedule, and just company so no pet ever feels lonely or anxious. I have one friendly dog at home and work remotely, so I can supervise all pet interactions closely. I also provide quiet, separate spaces if a pet needs a break. Because I care for my other dog at my parents’ place, I’m experienced with making pets feel comfortable in different home settings.

About: The most important thing to me is the health of your pet. That they are healthy, stimulated and most importantly happy. Your dog is not just a pet, they are your family member who deserves love and respect. My dog is a high maintenance prince. Bathing, drying, brushing is a weekly routine for us. Owners at my local dog park know that when I’m there, their dog might get a free spa brushing. I offer one on one private grooming services if your dog needs a freshen up! I work with a certified dog trainer and am learning how to gently correct reactive and disobedient behavior. I’ve hand raised my pup to be affectionate, obedient and playful. Training starts young, positive reenforcement with lots of love and structure are the key to having the dog you want. Your dog will always be welcome in my pack. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur-baby! I’m attempting to transition my career into the dog world. My dog has brought so much to my life that I want to give the same loyalty and care to all dogs and owners who need help. I will pour all my energy into your dog! I am available any weekday and most weekends with notice. My pup is comfortable accompanying me on my journeys or chilling at home while mama works. We use puppy gates at home so I am always mindful of enclosures. Obedience is a life long practice for your dog. I will enforce all limits you have in place to uphold and teach your pooch to stay calm and happy throughout our time together.

About: I have been surrounded by animals of all kinds my entire life. I was raised helping my mom care for foster animals from our local rescue, for the past 5 years I have worked in animal care as a veterinary assistant, and I have been servicing clients on Rover for almost 10 years now. I have experience working at an animal rescue center where I was trained in animal behaviour. Meaning, I am comfortable around animals of various temperaments including extremely nervous and/or reactive dogs and cats. I have an understanding of basic positive reinforcement training provided which allows me to feel comfortable redirecting and rewarding your pets behaviours as needed. I have spent the past 5 years working as a veterinary assistant, specifically in emergency medicine and surgery. I have worked with cats, dogs and horses! I am working towards a career as a registered veterinary technician. Because of this, I am comfortable administering medication and can closely observe your pets health during our time together to make sure they are comfortable and healthy. My passion is animal welfare. I have dedicated my whole life to spending as much time with animals as I can. From horseback riding lessons, to helping my mom with foster kittens, to now dedicating a career in veterinary medicine. I am comfortable and confident with all breeds and behaviours. I am always happy to meet in person before booking a service and providing as many updates as you wish while with your pet. Do not hesitate to ask any questions, I want to make your experience with me as comfortable and clear as possible! I am currently unemployed and am available almost any time or day. I try to keep my calendar as updated as possible but do not hesitate to reach out to verify. When booking a service with me, the first thing I do is clarify any rules and restrictions you have for your pet and/or your home. The first service with your pet can sometimes be stressful since I am a new person. For that reason I like to do a meet and greet before if possible, and I want to try to stick to the same routine you have with your pet.

About: I am best friends to dog lovers who also love to travel. So I often found myself baby-sitting their pups, which I always welcomed. I have experience in handling 2 pups and 3 cats at the same time. I work on weekdays, 9-5. I would love to hang out with fur babies in the evenings, for night stays, or on weekends. I also work remotely on occassion, so I can make time on those days as well. I have a fenced yard, it is a big yard. There are also a number of parks and walkways around me. It is a residential neighbourhood.

Liz was our very first pet sitter, and before using Rover, one question kept running through our minds: How do we let a stranger into our home and trust them with our beloved cats? That concern disappeared the moment we met Liz. From our first meeting, I felt an instant connection with her. It was exactly the feeling I hoped for if I was going to leave my two “kids” in someone else’s care. Honestly, Liz never felt like a stranger from the moment we met. Everything after that was easy, comfortable, and stress-free. At times, it truly felt like it was meant to be. Liz took exceptional care of our two cats. One of our cats requires insulin injections every 12 hours, and Liz administered them promptly and reliably throughout our time away. Knowing that such an important medical need was being handled with consistency and care gave us tremendous peace of mind. We want to do more traveling in the future, but providing our cats with safety, love, and excellent care will always be our top priority. Thanks to Rover, we found Liz, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Rover, and thank you, Liz. We will absolutely continue to use Liz in the future. Her kindness, compassion, and dedication mean the world to us, and we know our cats are in the very best hands. Dini and Family

About: I have walked several different breeds and sizes of dogs, including foster and domestic dogs, which has taught me how to adapt accordingly! Personalization is important to care for an animal. I am in college, so some weekdays are busy, but most of my free time is spent at home with cats or outside with dogs! I have a fenced backyard and several grassy areas near by to play in! I maintain a clean litter/pad area and wash food bowls after every meal!

Use the link below and enjoy $20 off your first stay with me: 👉 https://www.rover.com/sit/bhagys15040 Hi there! 👋🐾 I’m a caring, reliable, and fun-loving pet sitter who truly enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and ages. Whether it’s playful puppies, calm seniors, or anything in between, I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel safe, happy, and right at home. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day—no long stretches alone here! From backyard playtime to walks at the nearby park, I make sure dogs get a great mix of exercise, enrichment, and cozy downtime. I live in a house with a backyard, giving dogs space to stretch their legs, play, and relax. A typical day might include morning and evening walks, outdoor play, cuddle breaks, and quiet time to rest. I always do my best to follow your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. I don’t have pets of my own, which means my full attention goes to your dog and their needs. I’m comfortable caring for all sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m happy to adapt based on what your pup enjoys most. I know how important peace of mind is, so I’m always happy to share regular photo and video updates—so you can see your dog happy, relaxed, and having fun 🐶💛 If you’re looking for a playful, attentive sitter who will treat your dog like family, I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home and plan my day around the dogs I’m caring for. I’m able to give them regular attention, timely walks, playtime, and plenty of breaks throughout the day—no long periods alone. My days usually include morning and evening walks, outdoor time in the backyard, play sessions, cuddle breaks, and quiet time to rest. Since I’m flexible, I can easily adjust to each dog’s usual schedule, energy level, and needs. Every week, I maintain consistency to ensure dogs feel comfortable and settled, while still providing variety, enrichment, and plenty of positive interaction. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s a part of my routine that I genuinely enjoy. I care for pets by following their usual routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and preferences. In my home, pets get plenty of attention since I work from home, along with regular walks, backyard playtime, and calm downtime. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, keep their space tidy, and make sure pets are happy and well cared for. Across all services, I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication - and I’m always happy to share photo updates.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up on a farm, so I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, goats, and small animals. I’ve also worked as a dog groomer and have experience with pet sitting, house sitting, puppy care, senior pets, and daily routines like feeding, walking, bathing, and administering basic care. I currently have my own pets, so I understand how important it is to find someone gentle, reliable, and attentive. I treat every animal with the same love and patience I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently very flexible with my schedule. I have plenty of time during the day and evenings to walk, play with, and care for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I’m reliable with feeding times, potty breaks, and check-ins. Your pet will always get my full attention and affection when they’re with me. When caring for pets, safety and comfort always come first. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as the owner requests and keep their environment calm, clean, and structured. I pay close attention to body language, hydration, and energy levels to make sure they’re always comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their space respectfully, keep doors secured, follow all care instructions, and give regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and safe.
