Feel free to reach out. I’m available at all times of day and night to make sure our babies are okay I have a dog and cat we feed both twice a day the correct amount needed for them. Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.
“Anna is a true animal lover! She came prior to her 1st visit to meet my cat and she also met my 2 puppies and they loved her! My cat that is very shy and reserved, was really happy to see her while we were away. I’ll be definitely asking for her help again!”

“Tara is wonderful with my grumpy old man Thor. She is punctual, kind & understanding of Thor's moods. She does a great job of keeping me updated on how he's doing. I would highly recommend her to care for anyone's fur family.”

“Katie was so great! She spent a lot of time with our cats each visit and made sure to play with them. She puts a lot of time into her updates. They are funny and are great to read when you’re missing your kitties. She took the best pictures. Would recommend her to anyone”

“Amazing! So appreciative of the quick visit, prompt replies, and the photo updates. The cats came to say hi which is a good sign, they usually hide the whole time. Thanks, will definitely reach out again.”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous kinds of dogs of all ages and sizes. I have been relied on for serval years for many neighbors and friends to feed, walk and dog sit. I am working part time and have plenty of time to take care of and walk your dog for various times during the day and extended times to watch over. I have worked with many different types of dogs and have plenty of experience watching dogs in peoples homes when they go away. I am used to crating dogs, and making sure they are safe and happy when watching over them.
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including both younger and older dogs. I’ve successfully cared for up to 8 dogs at the same time, managing different energy levels, routines, and personalities while making sure each dog gets the attention and care they need. I’m currently working part-time, which allows me to be available for pet care during key times of the day. I’m available on weekdays from 6am–9am for morning walks and check-ins, and again from 7pm–10pm for evening care. focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific needs. I make sure dogs are supervised, secure on walks, and never put in unsafe situations.

About: I’m a student nurse with a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and compassion—qualities I bring into the care of every pet. My own dog is my top priority, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s care and routine. I’m very attentive and will keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior, comfort, and needs. I will provide updates on eating, digestion, and overall mood, so you always feel informed and at ease. I usually clean my own dog’s feet after walks and can absolutely do the same for yours to help keep your home clean and comfortable. I’m also very respectful of your home, your space, and your privacy. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I treat every pet like my own. For the summer, I’m available between 9 AM and 7 PM, and I can accommodate evening walks if arranged in advance upon request as well. I will walk your dog(s) alone, my own dog will not be joining us on our walks. I will try to keep our walk routine as close as possible to your own. If your dog has a preferred spot please let me know. I would prefer not to let your dogs off leash unless you have an enclosed yard. In that case I would physically join them outside. I understand that seniors may have mobility issues and need to be carried outside or changed.

About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.

It’s also a great opportunity to take a breather and get fresh air during daily dog walks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure that their daily routines are maintained to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also make sure the home remains clean and secure while providing pets with plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and committed to creating a safe, loving environment while their owners are away.
About: Hi! My name is Ashley. I have been walking and sitting dogs and cats for 7 years and volunteered at a shelter a few summers ago.

I believe compassion is just as important for our furry friends as it is for us. In comparison to other sitters, I’m different because I have charisma like no one else. I think I make it clear that I like to make a great, strong connection with the dog and will do whatever it takes to have fun with him or her and get their energy out before pet parents get back home.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
