We had a great experience leaving our dog Otto to spend a day with Amina. She communicated very well and gave Otto the attention he needed. Otto also had the opportunity to enjoy the time with Snowy (Amina’s lovely dog). Thank you very much for the great care. Looking forward to have Otto spending more time with you soon.

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me over the years to care for their pets, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m very attentive, patient, and love giving updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I have an open and flexible schedule and genuinely love spending time with animals! I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, playing, cuddling, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved throughout the day. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly treat them like family members and best friends. Whether your pup loves playtime, relaxing, snuggles, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are very important to me. I have a spacious apartment with a cozy doggy den area where dogs can lounge, relax, play, and feel comfortable. I also have a dog park right downstairs, which is perfect for walks, exercise, fresh air, and playtime. I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love animals, snuggles, and puppy kisses! I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always make sure they receive lots of love, attention, care, and supervision while staying with me.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats and would prefer to only board other female cats to ensure harmony in the home. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.

About: I am a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I love spending time with animals and would be happy to look after your dog when needed. I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds since 2015. I am a teacher and am typically available to host your pets on Fridays after 4:00 PM and anytime on weekends. However, since I am currently on summer break, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide care throughout the day and accommodate your pet's needs while you are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. My goal is to provide a positive and stress free experience for both you and your pet. You can trust that I will treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring their needs are met and they feel loved and cared for at all times.

About: I am 30 years old and am currently on Paid Leave/Not Working full time, so I’m back on Rover for the time being! I was born and raised around pets of all kinds in my household. From Great Danes to German shepherds to miniature poodles, I’ve cared for many furry friends (even birds, snakes, and goats!). Growing up, I always had three dogs at once as well as cats. I learned to handle and care for them at a young age and enjoy continuing this experience today. I have been professionally pet sitting for 3 years now. I have a lot of energy, so I am able to go on long walks or runs for any dog to get the daily exercise they need! Cats can be a little more independent, but it’s still important to establish a friendly presence around them so they don’t feel alone. I look forward to meeting and caring for any pet in need! A few times a week, I provide walks and meals for dogs of my friends’ who are required to work in an office and cannot make time to tend to these daily needs. I have a flexible schedule and work remotely, so I have ample time to look after animals. When pet sitting, I make sure to give attention to pets essentially at all times. I have experience staying on a schedule and feeding animals at appropriate times. I also enjoy making runs to pet stores to get treats and toys to surprise the dogs. Depending on the age and size, I walk the dog 2-5 times per day and have some play time as well.

About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.

About: I have always had pets in my life, ranging from small to large dogs. Each one of them has been either adopted or rescued, including my little mutt I own now. They are my favorite companions and I love taking them with me wherever I go. I am also a very active person and I am able to provide your lovely animals all the exercise they need! I have a hybrid work schedule. I work remotely most days though sometimes I have to go into the office. Schedule can be flexible though. I like to give my pets a lot of love and attention but also respect their space. I always communicate with the owner and ask what their pets like and dislike.

Troy was great! I adopted a dog and needed a sitter to watch him while I get him used to being crated when I go to work. He took the last minute request, was responsive, and took great care of my Beau! He also reported on some of his behaviors for me which was very helpful. All in all a great sitter and I would absolutely leave Beau with him in the future!
