“Olivia did a great job with my two senior kitties. Even giving Albuteral puffs to one of them. She gave them love and made sure to follow all my directions. The pictures she sent were great too. I totally recommend her and will use her again!”

“These girls went above and beyond when I had some additional requests while I was away. I 1000% recommend them to anyone that is looking for someone that will take the time to treat your pets like their own. Will definitely be using them for more worry-free vacations.”
About: I’ve had six amazing dogs in my life, and before leaving for college, I cared for four all on my own—they were truly my pride and joy. Dogs have always been a huge part of my world, and even the shy or scared ones seem to find comfort with me. I once wanted to be a vet because of how much I love animals, but I realized I couldn’t handle seeing dogs in pain. That love now drives my passion for pet care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some quality snuggles, I give every dog the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m currently in college which only takes up some of my days, so I have plenty of free time during the day to care for your pups. My flexible schedule allows me to give them the attention, walks, and playtime they need to stay happy and loved while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment where dogs feel secure and cared for, whether they’re full of energy or a little shy. I always follow any instructions you provide closely and keep a close eye on your pup to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and stress-free. I treat every dog like my own, with lots of love, patience, and respect for their unique personality and needs. You can trust that your pup is in safe, caring hands with me.

About: I have always had dogs in my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. For over a year I have volunteered at an animal shelter where I regularly walk, spend time with, and care for dogs with a variety of behaviors and energy levels. I have also dog sat multiple times, both by welcoming dogs into my home and caring for pets in their own homes. As a graduate student, I have developed strong responsibility, communication, and time-management skills, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or keeping pets company. I make it a priority to provide reliable care and make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and consistency in their routine. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable and secure. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and behaviors through both pet sitting and volunteering at an animal shelter. I carefully follow owners’ instructions, maintain a safe environment, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping owners updated along the way.
“Sarah was great! I have very specific daily care requests for our two cats, Sarah followed my instructions and they were happy kitties when we arrived home from our trip. Thanks Sarah!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was about 5 years old and about 9 years experience in professional dog care. I love to make new furry friends! I’m currently self-employed so I have plenty of free time that I would love to use getting to know some new fluffy faces. I can do morning, mid-day, and evening check-ins. I can’t offer care at my home, but I can go to wherever I’m needed :) If you read my testimonials you’ll find I’m trustworthy. I make sure to respect other people’s spaces the same as I’d want done for me.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, and I’ve had my own mini poodle for 5 years now. I will love your dog like they are your child!:) I am currently working part time, as well as a full time student. I don’t get to have my dog here, he’s with my family. So I enjoy anytime with your fur baby!! I will be able to care for your dog however you feel comfortable. When they stay with me, I will make them feel as comfortable as I possibly can! With many cuddles!
About: I took my dog Breeden to Smithfield dog park for years until arthritis limited her walking. I had so many dog friends there. I have gentle, friendly approach to any dog. Volunteer dog walker at RSPCA and have always walked my neighbors dogs when they needed help. I love puppies, seniors, and every dog in between. I'm retired but still work as a musician. This doesn't conflict with my days: I'm available to walk/visit dogs most days. Always happy to spend time with dogs My dog Breeden was a rescue, he's been with me over 10 years. Before Breeden, I adopted a senior dog who lived with me for 4 years. I also had 2 senior cats, and now I have 3 feral kittens I adopted. All my animals are friendly to humans.
“Jenna did a great job with my two cats. They are quite shy and go into hiding when anyone comes to the house. It took some time but by the end Ricky was greeting Jenna and getting some pets. Can't give a better endorsement than that! I had an accident while on vacation and needed help for about 5 weeks longer than planned which Jenna was able to do. That was extremely helpful. I would definitely use Jenna again an highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a couple of years and love to spend time with them. Making sure they have plenty of exercise, love and attention. I have a pretty flexible schedule that we can work out in order to accommodate you and your dogs needs. I’m willing to work with your schedule Making sure the dogs have the attention they need and keeping up with their diet is very important to me along with quality time outdoors.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have had dogs of my own for as long as I can remember, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. While I may be new to Rover professionally, I bring years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. As a college volleyball coach, I’m dependable, active, organized, and used to maintaining routines and building trust — qualities that carry over naturally into pet care. I’m very patient and attentive, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy, making sure a dog gets plenty of exercise and playtime, or giving extra attention and gentle care to older pets. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone else, so I prioritize communication, consistency, and treating every dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I’m already used to being active, structured, and consistent in my day-to-day life. As a college volleyball coach, especially during the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and spend a lot of time working from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and time throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and outdoor time with dogs are something I genuinely enjoy incorporating into my routine. I’m also used to balancing responsibilities and maintaining schedules, which helps me stay dependable with feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and overall care. Since I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while keeping pets on the routine they’re used to. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and of course lots of affection and care. I also understand how important trust is when someone is leaving their pet — and potentially their home — in someone else’s care. I take cleanliness, organization, and respecting other people’s homes very seriously. I always make sure spaces are kept clean and tidy, follow any instructions closely, and treat both pets and homes with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Communication is also very important to me, so I like to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable and connected while they’re away
About: Hi! Honestly, just here to fill a void for safe, affordable, reliable care in the community. I have a golden doodle that we're obsessed with and found that there's not a ton of options in the immediate area for reliable, safe care. Fenced in back yard! Currently a part time nurse that works 2-3 days a week. Availability will be made around my work schedule. Daily walks around the neighborhood to explore. I have a fenced in back yard with a friendly golden doodle. He's not crated but can offer crating animals visiting if a crate is provided!
About: Around my neighborhood, many have asked me to care for their dogs. I also cared for my 2 family dogs growing up. I have cared for many different animals and sizes as well. When it comes to scheduling, I am very flexible and understanding too. I love being the company to a furry friend! While I am working another job, I still have much free time to be able to play and walk your dog when needed. I'm very flexible and can always use a bit of experience myself for the dog and I to both stay strong and healthy! While I may not be able to take care of your dog inside of my house, we do have a park across my street as well as a safe neighborhood where many people walk their dogs and take strolls and runs on. While being over at someone's house I respect their privacy and only use what is needed for the dogs care.
“Lisa thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur babies. I don't trust just anyone to take care of them. They seemed very comfortable with you and that means so much to me. I will definitely recommend and use your services again in the future.”

“Hannah did a fantastic job with our cat, getting him all of his meds, playing with him, and even getting him to eat most of his food while we were a way, which is no easy feat!”

About: I've been around dogs since I was 7 years old. I've had multiple dogs and fish that have only elevated my love for animals. My neighborhood always been a bustling hub of dogs that only grew my fondness for them! I'm currently volunteering at my local animal hospital, when I'm there I prepare supplies, clean, and help in any way I can! I also spend my time taking care of my own dog! I will spend quality time with your pet in the ways that matter! Giving them love, walks, play time, and my devoted attention! Every pet is different, and I am ready to personalize my time with yours!
About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs and have a lot of experience loving on both. I am experienced with many breeds, sizes, ages, temperament levels, etc of both cats and dogs. Willing to watch other pets as well!! Not limited to dogs & cats :) My boyfriend and I work in restaurants and our shifts are usually no longer than 5-6 hours and between the two of us, someone is usually home. Our dog, Stanley, needs to be let out every 4-5 hours, so between the two of us, we make sure that happens. We also take a trip to an on-site dog park every morning and night! I only go when there are no other dogs for safety purposes. I’d love to host your dog if he/she gets along with other dogs- I have a 9 lb chihuahua/yorkie mix who has got some quirks. He is very intimidated by bigger dogs and uses his voice to make up for his size, which usually provokes dogs (even the un-provokable), so I can only accept smaller dogs and in order to keep everyone safe, I like to do meet and greets prior to booking. If your dog is not great with other dogs and/or is larger than 30 lbs, I’d be happy to do frequent drop in visits throughout the day.
