About: I’ve raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I know exactly what dogs need at every stage. From early morning walks to keeping them entertained and fed, it’s just part of my daily routine. I didn’t just own a dog I grew up with him. Your dog will get the same attention and care I give mine every single day. Dogs get a morning walk around 10–10:30am, then they’re free to relax in the living room or hang out in the fenced backyard. Once it cools down in the evening I take them out again around 6–7pm. During the day they have access to the backyard for potty breaks whenever they need it. Before bed there’s one last walk around 11–11:30pm so they’re settled for the night. I have a fenced backyard so dogs can roam and play safely without any worry. I own a friendly dog myself so your pup will have a buddy to hang out with. We’re in a house so there’s plenty of space to move around and get comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture I want them to feel at home, not like they’re in a strange place.

About: A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water logged stick will do just fine. A dog doesnt care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary? At least one - ME! I have an extreme love for dogs. I will follow whatever rules you give me when it comes to caring for your furbaby because, like people, all of our animals have different personalities and needs. I love being outdoors and have experience in potty training, leash training, as well as training them to follow basic commands.
About: I have an unconditional love of all kinds of animals! I have had a lot of animals throughout my life. I see myself as being reliable, responsible, and caring. I will treat your pets like they are mine! I’m here to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! My work schedule allows me to take care of your pets throughout the day. Able to walk, or take care of them in your household as needed. My first priority is making sure your pet is in a safe environment. On walks and/or dog sitting. Rest assured that it is my job to make sure your pet is happy and well taken care of during the time of service
About: With over 16 years of hands on pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up surrounded by family dogs, taking an active role in their feeding, grooming, bathing, exercise, and playtime. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read a dog’s body language, keep them mentally stimulated, and make them feel safe and loved no matter how long they’re with me. My girlfriend Goldie is currently in school to become a Vet and has been caring for animals even longer than me! , Your baby will always be in a pet-friendly, knowledgeable environment. My flexible work schedule as a tattoo artist means there’s almost always someone home to give your dog attention, walks, and companionship. Hi there! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses for as long as I can remember. From feeding and grooming to bath time and endless games of fetch, caring for pups is something I truly enjoy. I share my home with my amazing girlfriend, who’s in school to become a veterinarian…so your furry friend will always be surrounded by love and animal know-how. I’m a tattoo artist with a flexible schedule, working nearby from 11–5, and when I’m out, my girlfriend is home. When she’s in class, I’m here meaning your pup will never ever be alone. We live just steps away from a big park (perfect for adventures!) and have plenty of indoor space as well as a fenced in front and back yard! Perfect for zoomies, snuggles, and playtime. Our house is stocked with toys, treats, and cozy spots to nap in.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes naturally to me. I grew up with dogs and have been a dog owner for the past eight years, so I understand the daily responsibility, patience, and attention pets need. Over the years, I’ve also cared for other dogs and cats, each with their own personalities and routines. I’m attentive, calm, and respectful of every pet’s needs, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I’ve recently returned to school part time and also work part time, which gives me flexibility and reliable availability to focus on pet care. I’m organized with my time and able to plan walks, drop-ins, and sitting around my commitments, ensuring pets receive consistent attention and care. Because my schedule isn’t full-time, I can be attentive, responsive, and dependable for both regular and occasional pet care needs. When caring for animals in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and care instructions closely, and I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and calm companionship, while also keeping their space clean and safe. I’m respectful of the home, provide updates as requested, and treat every pet with patience and care so they feel secure while their owners are away.

About: My fiancé, Shandy, and I are extremely playful and caring people. We have had pets since a young age and know how to manage pets with social anxiety, rescued animals, animals with need of medication, etc. During our 2018 summer, my fiancé was interning at a Veterinarian clinic and her job was to feed, play, and inject/give animals their medication. If you need a pet sitter than let us know and if we’re available we will be able to give him/her the attention they need. My fiancé and I both work. Shandy works part-time so she will mostly be available but I work full-time 3-4 days a week so that’s why we work on this together. We will respect what is okay or not okay depending on each owner’s pets. For example, we can take them to dog parks if they get along with other dogs or if they don’t like being walked and only wee wee pad trained we will pick up after them.

About: I have experience with taking care of my own fur baby for 7 years. Besides her I have also taken in family pets whilst they went to vacation, as well as drop ins and checking their pets for the duration of two weeks. I was capable of teaching the pets under my care tricks and was always on top of everything being responsible, and making sure the fur babies got the attention they needed. I am also comfortable looking after feline (cat) pets as I have taken care of them with my boyfriends family during drop ins, and also freshwater aquarium pets as I have hosted them in my home for my cousins taking care of up to 6 in a tank. I am in college so I only attend school three days out of the week leaving all day of monday and friday, adding on I have a late class wednesday so I am available early on Wednesdays! I am also free on the weekends. So, I am able to check in with pets during my free time, and make sure to care for the fur babies. I can do afternoons for monday, friday, and the weekend and day time for wednesday! In my home I have one pet, my girl dog pearl who receives all the love she can get and is treated as a family member :) In my home I have a fenced yard, I have treats to provide, toys, and more. I also have a play penn in which pets can have space and play freely if wished to be crated. I will make sure to always give attention to the pets just as if they were my own babies.

About: I've had pets for a good chunk of my life, mostly when living with my father. I’m energetic and social so I can keep up with dogs easily. I’m a student and attend late morning/afternoon classes during the weekdays. I also take public transportation so that adds a bit of time between me at school and getting to work but I easily spend my late afternoons and evenings with pets. I’m also willing to do overnight stays. I have 6+ years of experience babysitting toddlers so I’m more than capable of keeping small dogs safe. I’m also very cautious because of my own anxiety so I always like to keep a careful eye on pets and will not let them out of my sight if not crated or put to bed. I also take measures to stay on schedule when it comes to feeding times and walk times.
“Felix was fantastic! Took great care of my cat while I was away. Followed all instructions without any issues and I came home to a happy cat. Reliable, responsible, and clearly a natural with animals. Would highly recommend!”

Varsha is an incredible pet sitter with a genuine passion for animals. My little pup, Sundae, absolutely loves spending time with her. We had a successful meet and greet where Varsha introduced herself to Sundae and quickly built a rapport. Throughout the visits, Varsha kept me updated with frequent communication and sent me plenty of adorable pictures. As a first-time user of Rover, I am extremely grateful for Varsha’s professionalism and dedication, which made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Five stars!

Pinky was absolutely amazing watching my dog Chai during my wedding weekend. She went above and beyond to make sure Chai was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were busy enjoying our day. Pinky kept me updated with photos and messages. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such an important weekend. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, loving, and responsible.
