“Holly is a dependable, trustworthy and loving person. I highly recommend her. I know my dog is in great hands when she’s in charge of taking care of him. She’s been working with me for almost a year now and she’s absolutely wonderful. If you need someone that you can trust and depend on to take care of your pet as well as you do, you need to hire Holly.”
About: Experience caring for dogs, cats, & rodents Capable of administering medication Comfortable accommodating additional needs I sometimes think I like animals more than people, so you can trust they’ll be well taken care of! I am a weekend nanny and work from home as a media & marketing assistant. Rover helps with extra income and getting active outside, away from my computer! I do not give the option to personally house-sit pets due to the fact that I still live with some of my family members, my apologies!
“Shawn is easily the best walker I’ve gotten through Rover or the other dog walking apps. He arrives on time, responsive to messages, and leaves thorough reports after each walk. He even spends time working on training goals during the walks!”

“Stefanie was amazing! I needed some last minute help and she was super responsive and wonderful. My boy was safe in her hands and I really look forward to working with her 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.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own best friend. Your animal will always have my full attention, whether we’re walking, playing, bathing, or practicing new tricks. I care for pets with genuine kindness, patience, and love, exactly the way I’d want someone to care for my own dogs. I have all the time in the world to care for your babies! Pets are one of the greatest joys of life, and I would love to spend my time with yours! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow every owner’s instructions exactly as given, because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I’m very good at reading animal behavior and emotions, so I can usually tell what they want or need. On walks, I’m attentive, calm, and always aware of my surroundings to keep your pet safe. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and your routines, and I keep everything clean and comfortable. And if I’m ever unsure about something, I never guess, I double-check your notes, ask questions, or look for reliable guidance to make sure your pet gets the very best care.
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Growing up with two dogs of my own, I've always been surrounded by animals whether it's through family, friends, and dog sitting during the holidays. As an avid walker, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors, and I'm excited to share that passion with your pet. I take pride in being reliable, professional and always putting the safety and well-being of your dog as my top priority. If there's anyway I can assist with your pet's needs, I'd love the opportunity to help them stay happy and healthy! I work from home Monday through Friday, 9AM - 5PM, with a flexible schedule. I take short or extended breaks every 2-3 hours, giving me plenty of opportunities to step outside and care for your pet. I live in a two-bedroom, non-smoking apartment with no children, offering a quiet and safe environment for your pet. The apartment complex features a fenced-in dog park.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember and have spent the past 15 years caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m especially experienced with large breeds, pit bulls, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with care, comfort, and consistency. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or a quiet evening in, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and at home I have a full time job but work from home every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. We have a cozy house and yard and am happy to drop by! I have a super fun and well behaved (big) dog named Louie, who is a huge softy but a lot of fun. We also have a loving cat named Woodstock! We also have a separate floor I can keep the animals on if necessary.
About: I have always been an avid animal lover, especially a dog lover, and I have always owned dogs. I started dogsitting after I graduated from college to make some money, and I immediately fell in love with it. Being able to provide a loving environment while you're away is very important for the animals, and I strive to be the best at it. My skills include dog sitting, walking, playing, and cuddling. I will also take great care of your home and treat it with respect. I also think it is important to keep the client informed of what is going on so I do like to check in. I have experience in both dogsitting and house sitting and this would let me showcase that. I currently own a Cat and turtle and feed them daily. I also clean the litter box every two days. I also help clean the turtle tank. I would follow the walking schedule for each dog and also adhere to the feeding guidelines. For a cat I would also follow the feeding guidelines and cleaning.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and I truly enjoy being around all kinds of animals. Being able to provide safety and security for them is very important to me My schedule fluctuates but I’m more than happy and willing to take same day requests, as needed requests, last minute requests, any type, I’m happy to help! In my home I have 3 cats and a dog (my other 2 cats live with a coworker), and my animals are all super friendly. I will take care of pet owners animals as if they were my own, giving them love and care, and of course treats!
About: I had a family dog since I had a baby he was a dachshund and lived for 18 years. I have dog sitted before in middle school with my sister and it was great having to take care of cute dogs. I know how to handle dogs. I am currently working part time so I have time to take care of dogs and can walk them in the morning before I go into work. I am very cautious when taking care of dog before walking them I will check if their collar or harness it tightly secured (not too tight) so they won’t slip away.
About: I am a life long lover of all animals and am looking to share my time and dog love with others! I have experience caring for and living with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, so I understand how unique each one can be in their personality and needs. I work full time, but my hybrid schedule allows for flexibility to be available at most hours on my home days, in addition to the general early morning and later afternoon availability. On fridays and the weekend, I have open availability all hours. I always prefer to allow you as the owner the opportunity to share as much as you can about your pet’s unique personality and quirks, to ensure I can adjust my approach with them accordingly.
