I had a short notice request and Gregory was so accommodating. He was great with my three goofy dogs and they were so happy after the drop in visits.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old. I’d love to take your dog out for a long walk and get him/her some exercise! I work remotely full-time, but my hours are very flexible. I can always take your pup for a midday walk, as long as it’s planned ahead of time. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own pet. I will adhere to a feeding/walking schedule that is customized to your pets needs.

It was really important for us to find a sitter who could take care of our newly diabetic cat and McKenna was so great. Fang and our other cats seemed very happy when we got back and we received pictures and updates every time she visited which is always makes me feel so much better. We will rebook McKenna anytime!!

Ellen took wonderful care of our cat Seven while my husband and I were out of town for several days. She sent detailed updates daily with photos, made sure to give Seven lots of playtime with his favorite toys, and kept our home in spotless condition as well. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a responsible, communicative sitter who loves cats!

Abby helped us with daily drop-ins for one week to care for our cats and she was terrific. She met us in advance to understand what our cats needed and then kept us updated everyday while we were away. It was wonderful knowing that our cats were so well taken care of. Abby is wonderful.

About: I have worked with herding dogs, guard dogs, sled dogs, service dogs, and pets of all ages. I treat dogs with patience and compassion and believe in training the individual dog in front of me with their owner’s goals at the forefront! I have thousands of hours of hands on experience and countless hours researching training and animal behavior. I am a self-employed artist so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to go into more detail about my living habits and daily schedule. My dog doesn’t “get into” anything he shouldn’t— including “stealing” his own food and treats, but through experience with my own puppies and client dogs I am well versed in taking extensive precautions to ensure the safety of animals in my home. I will not allow client dogs off leash but I have a 50 foot leash that is excellent for hiking with dogs. I am very observant of potential health issues/injuries. I am happy to expand upon the safety measures I take.

First time using Rover and I’m glad we went in this direction. Keri was a great local find and was patient with our request to come out to meet our two dogs prior to us being out of town. She provide notifications upon arrival and departure and sent us pictures each day. Thank you so much Keri, we’ll definitely call you in the coming weeks for our next trip.

About: I have raised 3 dogs from puppy through adulthood with great love and attention. Looking forward to helping others with their beloved pets! Our home is heaven for any dog or cat. My wife and I both work from home so we're always around to provide attention, playtime, walks, feedings, grooming, etc. Our dog Moreno is super friendly and agreeable with other dogs and cats. Our son loves them too! Multiple walks a day, leashed or off depending on the dog. Gated porch for fresh air time. Dog beds, toys, lots of space for people and pets!

About: I’ve been caring for pets informally for my entire life and professionally starting 12 years ago. I care for each pet like they are my own. I am sensitive to their energy and needs. I am able to work with animals who have unique social/emotional and medical needs. I mainly work with dogs and cats but am also experienced in caring for small animals like rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule varies a bit week to week. I am free mornings and evenings, most Thursdays, as well as Mondays after 2 pm. I usually work shifts under 8 hours, so with good communication I would be thrilled to come up with a plan that will suit you and your pet(s). For now, I am able to care for and board cats and small animals in my home. In the summer, I can board dogs in my fenced in yard. For dogs and larger animals, I can take them for walks and pet sit by traveling to your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I have managed to ensure my pet rabbit feels safe while also living with a rambunctious one-year-old labrador retriever. I am always cautious about my pets and my clients’ pet’s whereabouts. I’ve helped return missing neighborhood cats and dogs to their owners as well as assist with unexpected visits to the vet.

About: Hello! My name is Alison, and I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend(s)! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs my whole life, and have done many cat and dog sitting/walking gigs throughout the years (for pets of all ages). Additionally, I completed a 3 credit college course on pet behavior, so I am familiar with pet safety, the importance of body language, mental enrichment, and much more. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing potential opportunities! Feel free to reach out any time. I am a part-time employee, generally working around 30 hours a week, so I am often free before 10 am and after 5 pm. However, I do have flexibility, and I don’t work everyday of the week. I feed my pets two times a day and take my dog on walks three times. For clients, however, I can absolutely accommodate to your needs— let me know what works for you!

About: I’ve had animals throughout my entire life. When I was younger, my parents ran a boarding kennel and my father bred dogs. I grew up on a farm with about five horses, 35 dogs, several cats, a bird, lizards, fish, hermit crabs, etc. My father trained my brother and I to race sled dogs at a young age and we did that for several years along with horseback riding. With that being said, I have extensive experience with different types of animals, and I am confident that you’re fur baby will be in good hands and have the time of their life while under my supervision. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I hope to hear from you soon! I am currently working at a private residence where I make my own hours , so I have plenty of time to take care of your baby! I can accommodate you and your pet(s)in whichever way you desire! I usually bring my little tuxedo cat with me on trips if it’s an overnight, but if you would rather me not, we can always work something out and discuss our options! (:

Daniella took such amazing care of our sweet Gandalf, while he was sick and needed to take medicine orally. He didn’t make it easy but she was patient, kind, and kept our home in great condition while we were away so it was lovely to return home to. THANK YOU DANIELLA!
