About: I'm a dog Mom to two golden retrievers and I have experience with puppies as we've raised 2 litters so far! I can handle anything from puppies to geriatric dogs. I work from home so your pet will be given attention all day everyday! I am able to work around the animals schedule to fit their needs. We have a huge fenced in yard full of toys and ready for play time! They are given their own kennel, food and water bowls, blanket and daily treats! For home visits, I'll provide the owner updates along with pictures of their fur babies!

About: I grew up with dogs, but always did the animal care for neighbors. I have given basic care to livestock (horses, cows etc.), birds, cats, and various other animals. During the summer months I'm working for fish and wildlife. Now that the season is over I am looking to make your life easier by giving the best care to your pet. Whether your leaving for work, pleasure, or family. You deserve a peace of mind that your pet will be loved and cared for. My policy is I must meet you and your pet before providing services. Everyone needs to be comfortable. Please let me know anything about the pet such as places they don't like to be pet. My cat has a routine and that's how I like to keep it. I prefer to go to clients home so their pet is more comfortable. Willing to house a small dog. I do live on the 3rd floor could be hard for an senior dog

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, goats, chickens, and turkeys! Caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I love taking the time to make each one feel safe, happy, and loved while their people are away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I plan my days around feeding, playtime, and cuddles. Most days I can check in within 6 hours, occasionally up to 8. Keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable is always my top priority. I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I keep the home safe and tidy, sending updates so owners know their pets are happy.

Elizabeth was wonderful! She sent photos every visit, and was very kind and understanding when I accidentally sent her on a wild goose chase to a wrong apartment on the other side of town. Will definitely hire her again! She was great with both of our kitties, and even cleaned the apartment a bit for us.

About: Hi! I’m Taylor - a dependable, animal-loving sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. While I’m newer to Rover as a platform, I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and referrals, and I come with strong personal references and repeat clients outside the app. I understand that every pet is different. Some need high energy playtime and long walks, while others just want a calm, comforting presence and a good cuddle. I’m patient, attentive, and great at reading animal behavior, which helps me adapt my care style to your pet’s needs. I’m especially experienced with: • Dogs with separation anxiety • Puppies and senior dogs • Administering basic medications • Maintaining routines and schedules • High-energy breeds that need structured activity I treat every pet as if they’re my own - with love, safety, and respect always coming first. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away! I work Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (EST). I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m happy to coordinate drop-ins, walks, and sitting around your pet’s routine. For weekday bookings, I do best with: • Morning visits before work • Evening visits after 5 PM • Overnight care with morning & evening routines • Weekend stays and extended care I’m communicative and reliable, and I’ll always be upfront about availability so there are no surprises. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: keep your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free while maintaining their normal routine. In Your Home I follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay in a familiar environment. I stick to their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and bedtime routine. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you know your pet is doing well. This option is especially great for pets with separation anxiety, seniors, or pets who prefer their own space. In My Home Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m mindful of routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I only take on pets I can fully care for, ensuring your pet gets individualized attention—not just supervision. I prioritize safety, comfort, and positive interactions at all times.

Joslynne was amazing with our pup Indy! He's a very anxious and nervous dog around strangers so we were worried when a friend who usually watches him was not able to the week we were leaving town for our wedding. Joslynne met Indy before we left for our wedding, and had several drop in visits with the Indy where he grew more and more comfortable with her. By the end they were even playing fetch! Joslynne was amazing to work with and I really appreciate her taking the time to understand our anxious Indy during the drop ins. We look forward to requesting her services for future drop in visits if she's available!

Tommy did a wonderful job watching my girl Sadie. He did drop ins twice a day for me at my apartment while I was out of town recently since my dog does not do well boarding or around some other dogs and he always kept me posted with updates and pictures. Highly recommend Tommy as he follows up and is a big time dog lover.

It can be hard leaving your pets in someone else's hands, but with Alora, we felt total peace of mind. She's not just a sitter—she's a caregiver, an animal lover, and someone who truly treats your pets like her own. We’re so grateful for her time with us and would absolutely welcome her back in a heartbeat.

About: I’ve worked with dogs in a professional capacity for over a decade, including managing structured environments where consistency and temperament mattered. That experience shapes how I approach in-home care today: calm, observant, and steady. I adapt well to each home’s environment. Every household has its own rhythm, and I focus on maintaining that rhythm rather than disrupting it. I respect property, keep to designated shared spaces, and treat each home responsibly while I’m there. With animals, I prioritize patience and regulation. Dogs often mirror calm, consistent energy, and I remain relaxed and steady in my interactions. Whether maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing expectations, or adjusting to unexpected wake-ups, I approach care with composure. I value clear expectations so I can maintain healthy boundaries and provide dependable, consistent care throughout your time away. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I maintain a consistent daily routine with flexible hours, and afternoons and evenings are open most days. Feeding, walks, and check-ins happen at reliable times so pets stay comfortable and owners know what to expect. I approach every home and animal with calm professionalism and respect. I’m attentive to boundaries, cleanliness, and consistency — whether I’m providing a single visit or longer in-home care. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which allows me to focus fully on the animals in my care. My priority is reliability: safe handling, clear communication, and a steady, grounded presence.

Stephanie was great with my new puppy, Bear! She was so patient with Bear's owner (me) because I wanted to know every single thing he was doing. I have a bumpy schedule because of my career. And she was always understanding and expressed her willingness to help me. She even retrieved a tick on my puppy that I neglected to locate. Thank GOD for her!

Savannah is amazing! I highly recommend. She was very communicative and detailed. She let us know if she was running late from work (but it was truly never late, she was just that attentive and professional). She sent lots of pictures of our boy 🥰. He is old and we worry about him so we are so thankful to have someone like her who we can trust to look after him. Her experience with animals is invaluable as she was able to medicate him no problem. Thank you, Savannah!!
