“Amy is always very responsive and quick to accommodate my requests. We’ve been utilizing her very frequently for about a month now. She sends updates and pictures every time she stops by to check on my puppy. I truly don’t know what I’d do without her!”

About: I foster dogs of all ages from Spots Last Stop and have owned my Australian cattle dog/lab mix since I rescued him in Florida 5 years ago. I have trained him extensively myself, with over 25+ commands including being off leash trained, knowing his lefts and rights, and “protect” position. I have years of pet sitting experience, including watching my grandparents foster dogs (up to 5 large breeds at a time, including 180 pound big boy mastiffs!) ***Please reach out if you need last minute bookings or accommodations during the week, things may be arranged*** I work full time in project management for a biotech company but only live 3 minutes from my office and have great flexibility with coming and going as needed. I also am available most weekends and can discuss longer trips as needed I have a friendly resident dog who has done well with every foster I’ve had. He is very good at respecting a dogs space and will not instigate or initiate play. I do not have a fenced yard, but with a high energy breed, I do walk him on average 2-4 miles a day around the neighborhood or through trails and practice sniff work outside and inside to keep him exercised and stimulated and your dog is welcome to come along 😊 I can also do in-your-home sitting if they need more one-on-one time or do not get along with other dogs!
About: Growing up on a farm I understand the connection animals give us. We had at least 3 dogs around us constantly. Their care and comfort is my number one priority. I have experience with reactive and timid dogs. As a young teenager I did 4H with my boarder collie. We competed in agility, rally’s, and basic obedience. My GSD and I worked through his reactivity to other dogs and people. I personally trained him to be the best boy he can be, and he earned his K9 good citizen. I love all types of personality’s, from teething puppies to seniors who just need some company. I excel in dog training, I love a good challenge. I currently work part time so I have a lot of time to spend with your four legged family members! I am available until late May! I thoroughly follow instructions for your pet, and the safety of you’re home. I understand that some dogs are timid, and that some dogs are reactive on walks. I will be sure to make my time with you’re pup comfortable and enjoyable for both of us.
About: I grew up on a hobby farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens and goats. I have always been around animals of all kinds. My friends and family call me whenever they need a pet sitter as I enjoy taking care of animals. I currently work from home, so I am able to have animals at my home, stay at client's homes with their pets or just stop by to check in or do walks. My work schedule is flexible. I own my own home with an unfenced yard, but I do have outdoor dog hookups and a friendly neighborhood to walk animals. My furniture is pet friendly and I always love a good snuggle.
About: I have worked with dogs and cats doing on 6 years now, and have had the opportunity to be around a ton of personalities and care for many different energy levels. In this, I also have experience crate, house, and yard training! Though I’m currently at college, I have quite a few breaks during the day in which I could check in on any pets and make sure they are happy, heathy, fed, and don’t need to use the restroom. I have all nights and most weekends free, and have flexible hours during most of the week. While it certainly depends on the personality and age of the pet, general care would include meeting the basic needs (food, water, bathroom breaks, and running/walking time) while also being ready and able to play, facilitate enrichment times, and cuddle especially clingy pets.
About: When it comes to animals, I love them all. I have extensive experience working with animals especially at a non profit no kill rescue that is unique giving everyone a chance no matter if they need high amounts of medical care. With that background, I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs with medical needs, of all ages. I am most comfortable with small and medium dogs that are easy going and like going for walks! I work remote from home and have flexibility to adjust as needed for weekdays and weekends. I do need advance planning for anything more than a drop in. It's deeply personal to come into someone's home and care for their fur baby, I understand completely! Part of the planning process involves asking questions about your needs, preferences, expectations so we are in the same page!
About: I treat every pet like family—because they are. Reliable, detail-oriented, and full of love, I tailor care to your pet’s unique needs, from energetic play to gentle walks and extra snuggles. You’ll always get clear updates and a happy, cared-for best friend when you return. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to plan walks, drop-ins, and cuddle sessions around your pet’s needs—morning, midday, or evening. You can count on me to be consistent and reliable, so your pets get care right when they expect it. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. In my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow your pet’s normal routines to reduce stress, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they’re never left in unsafe situations. I use secure leashes and harnesses for walks, double-check gates and doors, and ensure fresh water and clean spaces at all times. You can trust that I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own—and treat your pets like family.
About: Grew up with dogs and cats, babysat my sisters 15 lb senior jack russel for extended periods of time including giving him meds and her 60 pound standard poodle. I am aware of where my cat is at all times. He wakes up when I do, he is fed and at home with me until its dinner time. He sleeps with me each night, we adore him. I have a fenced yard and put the leases and harness on before opening the door. I have an elementary school daughter, an only child, who is very empathic towards animals. Our cat is easy going, a stranger could pick him up and hes fine. I also work remote so I can let the dogs out and take them on a walk when I go on my breaks.
About: Hi, I’m Tanner! My wife and I have a 5 year old dog, and a 10 year old cat (in addition to our human toddler 😄). I’ve grown up and cared for cats my entire life, but I love dogs of all ages just the same! Whether you need someone to stop in and check on your pets, or take your pup for a walk, don’t hesitate to reach out! I work from home, so I typically have some flexibility to stop by whenever, or spend a lunch break with your pet and/or take them on a walk. I’m very respectful of your space and privacy and will do as directed when caring for your pet. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions based on your specific service need.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. The last few years I have started dog/house sitting for people in my neighborhood and looking to expand to meet more dog friends! I am a teacher, so during the school year I am gone during the day. In the summer or on weekends I am very flexible! I am willing to stay at your place with your dog(s). In the past, I have stayed at the home while I am dog sitting.
About: I have grown up with dogs throughout my whole life. I have done a lot of pet sitting for family, friends, and clients. I have pet sat for big or small and old or young animals!! I am currently a college student so I have plenty of free time that I am looking to fill with pet sitting as well as walking! I am a very responsible person who will also have an eye on your fur baby! I can work with animals who are crate trained and those who aren’t as well!
About: I have a love for dogs and have had my own dog, Rosie, a Pomeranian, for eleven years now. I love being around dogs and grew up with Australian cattle dogs, as well as farm cats. I will play and care with your dog as if it was my own. I will take your dog on walks and make sure they get enough time outside to play and go potty. I am most comfortable with small, medium and large sized dogs. Please contact me with any questions! I would love to care for your dog! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I can do drop-ins or walks around my work schedule and can accommodate what you and your pet need. I will take care of your dog like my own and give them the love and attention they need. That may mean a longer or shorter walk, depending on your dogs exercise level. I can also play fetch if that is preferred over a walk.
About: I grew up in a home with dogs and cats and have experience caring for them (walking, feeding, bathing, and playing) for over 14 years. I'm there for hyper dogs and antisocial cats -- whatever they need, I'll provide. :) I've been sitting on Rover since November 2022, and I've loved getting to care for your beloved family members ever since. I'm comfortable with both big and small dogs and have successfully cared for senior dogs (two 12-year-old boxers) and an energetic puppy (months-old Boston terrier). I'm also an experienced cat carer. Please reach out with questions! I work from home most days, so I can provide 24/7 care unless specified. Otherwise, I'm able to stop by your house for play or potty breaks on weekday afternoons and nights. I'm available for longer visits with your pet on weekends. I am very patient with the pets I care for and more than willing to adapt to their needs. My priority is making them feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I’ve always enjoyed pet sitting for my friends and neighbors while they were on vacation. I’ve had the opportunity to take care of puppies as well as older dogs who need medication through out the day. I also used to walk dogs in my neighborhood for older members of the community, so I know how important it is for dogs to get outside and get their energy out. My availability is Monday-Sunday, I’m able to stay over night if necessary. I’ve worked serving jobs for the past few summers and I’m ready to get a nice breath of fresh air doing this instead. For my own pet, I make sure they have a good living arrangement. For example, I’d never leave them caged up, but instead give them a room they can roam if they have to be put away. As far as other people’s pets, l would ask them what their daily regime is for their pet. I’d then do my best to replicate the pets daily activities to keep it on a healthy schedule.
About: I grew up having 3 dogs on the farm of various sizes. I loved having dogs growing up and wish I was at a time in life where I could have one myself. I am a very active person and would love to play or run with your dog. A dog is like another family member and they need attention, relationship as well as a discipline at times. I would love to show my compassionate heart to your furry best friend while you may be away. I am familiar with various breeds and volunteered at a local humane society while in college. I would love to bless you with my services while you bless me with time with your dog. I am very free at the moment and can provide above and beyond care. I currently work remotely but at times have free time on my hands. I can accommodate walking during mid day, some evenings and possibly house/dog sitting. I do have a 1 year old son who absolutely loves animals as we have my parents family dog. I would prefer taking care of clients dog at their own place as that is their home. Our family dog doesn't get along well entirely with other dogs. She is small and doesn't hurt them just more in her ways of being an only "child." I can also take the dog to a local dog park if wanted as well as I have a roomier Honda CRV. Can feed and make sure the furry friend has water of course as well.
