“Cherie was amazing while caring for/walking my dear Abuelo. He has since transitioned above. Cherie accommodated my crazy work schedule which was a huge help! Always a great communicator & updated me when needed. Cherie will always be considered a member of Abuelos Village who cared for him. Thankful we met. Blessing to all the future fur babies 🐾”

About: Hi! I’m Steph — a full-time pet caregiver through Rover and the heart behind a growing pet photography business. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have experience with all kinds of animals, from high-energy pups to quiet companions. I share my life with my dog Scooby, who’s a big lovebug and gets along great with both people and other animals, and two leopard geckos, Helios and Haku, who each have their own little quirks and charm. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have hands-on experience with pet nutrition and wellness—I've worked with a variety of healthy foods, natural supplements, and holistic care routines. I’m great at picking up on subtle signs when something’s off and take pet health seriously. Whether we’re playing fetch, going for a walk, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m all about creating a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always follow your instructions to a T—because your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s happiness. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away. I am very flexible with my schedule so please feel free to send me a request or a direct message to sent up an appointment! I have worked with certified fear free trainers as well as being a groomer for 3 years now I am very aware of animal body language and how to meet their needs so they feel safe in their environment. I do have a dachshund mix named Scooby that is incredibly friendly with Small to XL dogs. She’s always up for having a play date!

“Winnie Lu , had such a good week walking with Lindy. She got the job done, and was so reassuring that Winnie was going to be walked while her mommy was out of town.”

“Sarah walked my dog for 2 days while I was sick. She was on time and walked for the full contracted time plus maybe even a little more. My dog was very excited to go with her each time.”

About: Hi! I’m Isabelle, and if there’s an animal in the room, chances are you’ll find me hanging out with it. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or your cat prefers a quiet companion and some extra treats, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and spoil them with lots of love and attention! I have a very flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a wide range of days and times, including weekdays, weekends, and last minute requests when needed. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get consistent, reliable care whenever you need it I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they get exercise and playtime, keeping their space clean, and giving them lots of love and attention. I always pay close attention to their behavior and needs so they stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away.

“Marcy stepped in to help with our dog while I was out of town. Always on time, dog was well walked! Highly recommend.”

I am happy to provide drop-in or stay-in care for your animals. Your pets will be cared for just as you would. They will get the love and attention that they deserve.

About: Hello👋🏽I’m a passionate dog lover and pet stylist at a doggie daycare, with 6+ years of experience leading playgroups and 3 years as a professional groomer. I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs.🐾 I currently have the sweetest babies, a 12 year old lab and 2 laid back cats. I grew up caring for our rescued beagles from an animal testing facility, which taught me how to support sensitive or nervous pups with patience and compassion. Through daycare and grooming, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of breeds, coat types, and personalities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them feel safe, happy, and loved! I also offer nail trims if your pup is comfortable with it.✂️ I also enjoy cleaning in my spare time, so I’d be happy to offer light housekeeping or general tidying if that’s something you’d find helpful.🫧 Pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I work as a groomer and often have shorter days starting at 8am, usually finishing around 2 or 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks. I typically pet sit in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—every pet is different, and I do my best to stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just extra snuggles. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets!

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.

About: My husband and I grew up with dogs our whole lives and we owned a small dog for 15 years. We are often one our neighbors and relatives call when they need a pet sitter. We are excited to meet new dogs and families and offer pet care. Our home is warm and welcoming and we like to give pets a lot of attention. We feel they are a part of our family when they are with us. You will receive pictures and regular updates while your dog is with us, so you can be reassured your pets are having a wonderful vacation too. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My husband works from home. I work from home at times and we have two older kids who are often home to help too. We are never away for more than 4 hours at a time. We follow the owner’s preferences. We will use leashes, harnesses, etc. when on walks. We will administer medications as needed. Dogs can sleep in our beds.

About: Hi. My name is Carrie. I love all kind of animals. I have 2 cats right now. I used to have a hampster. I grew up having rodents. I never owned a dog but i sure love them. I used to live with a couple of dogs in thr past but they wasn't mine. I used help take the dogs for walks though and fed them as if they was my own dogs. I love walking them. I love playing with them. Like balls, freezbie. I live in a apartment building and am only allowed to have to pets that live me anyways. I can however babysit as many as pets like other cats or even dogs as i want. There is no rule on that. I just love animals all together. So feel free to message me if you are interested P.S. Just so you know I can't drive but I take metro mobility. I hope that is not a problem. Also, I have found out that i can't have anymore animals that aren't mine so I would have to travel to the Guest's house to watch their pets. I hope that is fine with everyone. I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I’m happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you’re away.

About: I've lived on a homestead taking care of farm animals including dogs, cats, goats, horses, chickens, and much more! My parents bred and trained AKC Labradors and Beagles for wild game hunting. I became a farm hand for a local barn in New Hampshire at the age of 14. Once I was 16 I started overnight caretaking for horses, dogs, and cats. I have experience training puppies and rescue dogs with my parents. I also own amphibians and non conventional pets so I'm familiar with exotic caretaking. I'm currently dog sitting/walking/feedings fulltime. I'll have plenty of time during the day to play with your pets and take them outside for potty breaks. I live in apartment that does not allow cats or dogs so any pet sitting will have to be done at your home. I have my own private insurance alongside Rover Garantee. I will need a full tour of your yard if it's fenced, to make sure there aren't any means of escaping. A full detailed care sheet that includes the pet's schedule, behavioral concerns (a must), vitamins or medications schedule, prefered place to walk or run (typical place you go to help understand your pet's public behavior and help form trust with them. I will always learn your pet's behavior in a controlled and comfortable environment first. Then if you approve, we can eventually go on hikes. The more detail I have about your pet, the better their transition will be in my care. Trust and Safety is my top priority when caring for a family member that can't speak.

About: I care for my family’s dog, Moxie, every day alongside my siblings. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure he stays happy, active, and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I understand every pet has different needs and routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions closely so your pet receives the same care and consistency they’re used to at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply having company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve also cared for small pets in the past and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m currently a college student and work part-time during the summer, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. My work schedule varies from week to week, but because I work part-time, I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, and quality time with your pets. I typically know my schedule in advance and do my best to accommodate pet care requests whenever possible. I’m also usually available on weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’ve always been an animal lover….I’m usually the one in the corner spending more time with the pets than the people at family gatherings! In fact, I even made a PowerPoint presentation to convince my family to get our goldendoodle, Moxie. My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and needs, follow instructions carefully, and provide consistent, reliable care. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit or taking your dog on a walk, I’ll treat them like my own, with patience, attention, playtime, and affection. I also respect my clients’ homes and will care for your pet and belongings responsibly while you’re away.

“She is amazing with our two dogs. You can tell she really cares for the animals she walks. She is always flexible and understanding with schedule changes. Our dogs loved her even though they’re usually very skeptical of new people and I would highly recommend her for any services for your pups!”

About: I've had pets my whole life growing up and I would care for your dog or cat as I would my own, with lots of love and attention. I've had experience with several breeds, including poodles, golden retrievers, labs, dachshunds, and many others. Along with having pets growing up, I also worked as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic, which included spending time with a variety of dogs and playing, going on walks, feeding, cleaning up, etc. Please reach out with any questions you may have. Thank you! 🙂 I have a flexible schedule with open availability right now and plenty of time to watch your dog or cat, go on walks and play! I love spending time with animals, playing and giving plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to hang out indoors with your pet(s), or play outside and take them on a walk. I have a 9 yr old daughter who would need to come along occasionally depending on the timeframe of the booking.
