We love Rachel and our Airedale Sophie loves her too! We love the photos that Rachel gives us each day of Sophie when we are away. It really puts smiles on our face and outs us at ease that she is having a good time.

About: I’ve cared for pets since childhood, welcoming my grandchildren’s pets into my home for stays and play. I’m empathetic to animals’ needs, engaging puppies with energetic play and providing gentle mobility support and enrichment for senior companions. I’ll sit with them during storms, offering comfort and reassurance, and I adapt my care to nurture every furry friend. I begin each day with feeding and an energizing walk, followed by a midday check-in with playtime and potty breaks. Afternoons allow personal tasks while I stop by every few hours for meals, water, and bathroom trips. Evenings include another walk, grooming, and relaxation time. Weekends feature extended outings and enrichment. I remain flexible for storms or emergencies, adapting my plan to each pet’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy a thoroughly pet-proofed space. I remove hazards, supervise play, and use gates or crates to give shy or new guests their own quiet area. Doors, windows, and fences are checked before every visit, and fresh water and clean bedding are always available. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow each owner’s routines and house rules exactly. I secure doors and gates, tidy up potential dangers, and monitor food and water levels. I arrive promptly and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

About: I have multiple years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have pet-sit for many friends before. I love taking dogs on long walks or going to the dog park, whatever you need me to do! I also love hanging out with cats, I have one of my own, and I am really good at getting their energy out, or just cuddling up and giving them plenty of love! I am currently a graduate student so I am available at some point every day to take care of your pet. My schedule is very flexible so just let me know what works best for you! I have a ton of experience caring for pets and I am very understanding of any rules you would like me to implement with your pet. I will respect your space and ensure that your pet is happy and healthy when you return!

About: Hi! My name is Brooklyn, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I truly enjoy giving them the attention, love, and exercise they need to feel happy and safe. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet—they’re family. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. As your Rover sitter, I provide reliable, loving care that follows your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Each day includes morning and evening walks or potty breaks, feeding as instructed, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority while in my care. I provide a calm, supervised home environment where pets are never left unattended during outdoor breaks, especially since there is no fenced yard. Dogs are always leashed for walks and potty breaks to ensure full safety and control. I maintain a clean, secure space with a structured routine to help pets feel relaxed and at home. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with attention, responsibility, and a safe environment at all times.

Emma did a great job taking care of our dogs! Always came at the times we requested, sent the cutest pictures daily, and even thought to leave the outside lights on the last night, since she knew we would arrive very late. Highly recommended!

About: I've been pet sitting for about 10 years, I have experience with large and small breeds, young and old. I just enjoy helping pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I work part time and have flexible hours in the afternoons and evenings. I am also very flexible with staying at client's homes for pet sitting especially on weekends because I don't work those days. Every pet has their specific routine and needs, I am very detail oriented and will make sure that their routine will carry on just like you would do for them.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since age 2. From Boxers and Yellow Labs to Dachshunds and Great Danes. At age 11 I began caring for the other pups around the neiborhood and have loved it ever since. I just graduated college so I will have plenty of time to give your pups the care that they deserve! Without a doubt your pups will be at ease while you are traveling. When I care for others pets I am sure to become well adjusted to their environment and what they are used to so they feel at ease. With plenty of snuggles, playtime or walks outside.

About: I have two large-breed dogs, one is a three year old Cane Corso mix and our other girl is almost ten (a Lab mix)! Both are rescues from the south, so I have a lot of experience working with anxious dogs, puppies, and some senior care. I grew up with large black labs, so I've had dogs in my life, for my entire life! I run my own business and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can also take your dog for a longer hike, snifaris, and more! I do not host other dogs in my own home, but I would be sure to have a consultation with the client ahead of any pet sitting to go over routines, expectations, feeding schedule, etc. It's not fair to expect a dog to adjust to your schedule when you are the newbie in their life!

Veronica was so great with my cats. They were well taken care of and it was a big relief to know they were in good hands. She was dependable and I appreciated her communication in sending updates and photos from each visit. She not only took affectionate care of my pets, but she also looked after my apartment as well. I recommend!

About: Hello! I'm Nicole, and I'm 29 years old and living in my sunny hometown of Cape Coral with my 3 small fluffy dogs. I recently completed my masters degree at NYU with a thesis focusing on dog socialization. I've had pets since the day I was born - cats, dogs, fish, chickens, horses - you name it. I started before double digits caring for the neighbors pets when their owners were away on trips and still do to this day. I love all creatures that the world has given us, whether a lost neighborhood stray or the turtle on the side of the road (Yes, I am that person to stop and help it to the other side). Now taking my in-person pet sitting service digitally, I have learned to love and take care of pets in all aspects — from keeping them healthy and being by their side when sick or recovering. Everything from giving lots of love, keeping them well fed, being taken care of, and lots of playtime, walks, and especially cuddles — which are my specialty. My senior mini aussie has had double ACL repair surgery, and he was the bestest boy to learn how to care for a pet medically. I hope your pet can be a part of the love fest, too! I'm currently taking care of my parents' estate so I'm home 24/7. All my time is yours! Morning walks, evening walks, medicine schedules, drop-in visits, or socialization - anything your baby needs I can provide. At home, we have a fenced yard with doggy doors with full access to the outdoors. I always supervise their outdoor time since we have a pool. I can crate your dog any time if needed, or let them sleep in bed with me at night if they love that, too.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7. I’ve always had 4 dogs within my home at once. I’ve taken care of pitbulls my whole life both young and old. I have 3 pitbulls who are part of my current daily routine. I’ve taken care of my friend’s and family’s animals who have variety of dogs from smaller dogs to big dogs. I love dogs especially pitbulls. I am also a very organized person and love to clean. Being organized and cleanly comes in handy with more hyperactive dogs and dogs who may have accidents within the home. I work full time at the hospital. I’m available every day after 6. I also have two days off during the week and every other weekend off. This allows me to have a more flexibility when it comes to having a second job. I truly love animals and want to help out where I can! I have a fenced in yard that I let my dogs play in. They also are able to roam around the house and I crate them when I leave for work. I play with my dogs at home and also allow my dogs to lay in bed with me. I make sure to give them attention they need. I would be able to do the same for my client’s animals. I will definitely keep them entertained and allow them the care they need.
