“I cannot say enough about this wonderful lady! Friendly and flexible, my dog and my work schedule loved her. And when I had a family emergency, she allowed me to schedule a boarding on very short notice. If I'm ever in the area again, I will certainly be looking her up.”


“Samantha did a great job taking care of my energetic lab. She arrived on time and Tula seemed happy to spend time with her. I look forward to working with Samantha again in the future.”


About: My name is Briyah. I grew up in New York all my life and also went to school there. I’m a Captain in the Army and I am now stationed Fort Jackson, SC. I’m 29 years old and been a pet owner for 9 years of a miniature Doberman Pincha named Snoopy. Now I own a 5 year old Labrador Retriever mix named Bane (boy). I also have experience with Rottweilers and cats. I pretty much love all pets. They warm my heart. I joined Rover to be around more animals and to earn extra income. I promise to treat your pet like my own. I ensure that they will get the same amount of love from me that you give them. I am active duty Army, so I work full time Monday through Friday. I am available after 5pm weekdays and all day Saturday and Sunday. Overnight stay any day. I live alone in an apartment complex. No one will have access to my place besides me. So your fur baby is in good hands. I work Monday through Friday from 9-4pm and I'm off on the weekends. I have a ring camera where I can monitor your fur baby while at work. I can easily crate your dog if need be, but don't make a habit out of it. If they are trained, I allow them on all furniture.

About: I have owned/cared for cats for as long as I can remember. I am currently an owner of 3 cats and 1 dog and have tons of experience caring for cats/dogs of family and friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the attention/affection they need. I have experience with exercising, feeding, giving medication, and administering first aid to pets. I am a stay-at-home husband (and soon to be father) so my schedule is extremely flexible and I have reliable transportation. I’m available weekends and weekdays including evenings. My own pup is high energy/high anxiety (but he absolutely loves other dogs!) so I can understand that every pet has individualized needs. I am happy to work with any owner on a case by case basis to determine what works best for their pet. I can do home visits or could potentially house pets at my residence. We have a large backyard sitting on about 8 acres of land. Dogs love it here!

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. I also worked at an animal shelter caring for animals that were abandoned, sick, and/or neglected. We have also fostered puppies for local shelters for over a year now. I am a retired Air Force veteran and currently a stay at home mom and am available more times than not to offer services. I enjoy animals and this feels more like a hobby than work. I am willing to comply to your schedule as close as possible in your home so that your animal does not skip a beat in their day to day routine.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all throughout my life. I’ve owned a dog for about 4 and a half years now. I’ve also owned two cats but was slightly allergic, but I am more than willing to take care of them too. Animals have had such a huge impact on my life. I work full time right now but am free most evenings and weekends! I would love to help anyone out that needs help caring for their pet because I’ve been in that situation myself. I have a fenced in yard and I don’t crate my dog. I am willing to crate my client’s dog if needed, walk them, or bathe them too!

About: I offer pet sitting and walking for all breeds and sizes and energy levels. My previous pet care experience includes pet store, professional pet boarding, bathing and daycare, and several years offering pet/house sitting for out of town friends, relatives and co-workers. I share my home with 3 dogs and 3 mini pigs. I am currently employed at a dog rescue, and am an active volunteer with our local wildlife rescue, and am certified in pet CPR and First Aid. While I will never pass up an opportunity to play with a puppy, I have a soft spot for senior and special needs dogs. I can administer medication if needed as well. I also provide sitting services for other species, so if your pup has a cat, bunny or reptile sibling that won't be a problem.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. I have experience with all types and love them all. I have cared for rabbits, Guinea pigs, dogs, cats, chickens and cows. I have been called upon for advice and proper care of animals for my family and friends many times over the past 25 years. I have an open schedule so I will have plenty of time to properly care for your pets and engage in some play time as well. My cats stay inside and are provided with lots of toys, treats and two cat trees to play/sleep on. I keep their areas as clean as possible with daily cleaning of litter boxes. They are loved, played with and spoiled every day. Anything that could be dangerous for them is put away and or in a room that’s off limits to them. They also have two food stations set up with 2 water bowls and a water fountain. I’d like to consider them fat and happy 😉

About: I'm not new to animals! I'm (technically 😑) in my mid 30's, I'm an Army Vet, and I love ALL animals (even reptiles!). My family has had animals since the day I was born. At some point it turned into a farm. Horses, goats, cats, dogs, reptiles! I have given medical care to many different species.. from drawing blood from horses and IV medications to horses and dogs. I have a snake named Pascale (kids, ha) he is a pied ball python. He actually had to have surgery a few years ago and we went thru multiple rounds of antibiotics before and after the surgery, all of which were injections. I have owned 3 dogs, 2 of which I raised from puppies until they were old ladies. Just a little over a year ago I lost my 13 yo blue Pitbull, Luna. I had her since I was 19, and it's been really hard without her. I'm honestly not quite ready to have another dog yet, but I do love loving on everyone else's pets! Including family pets, I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and medications etc. I also help friends/ family with training. From simple commands like "sit" and "down" to crate training and more. I am not a professional or certified, but I do have knowledge and experience with each as stated. Thanks for considering me with your furbabies 😊 I have 2 kids, both school age, so that's definitely a factor. I believe to start off with I will mainly be doing drop in visits, play time etc. We have 3 small dogs in our home, 1 being a teacup puppy. So I would have to be very careful about any animals brought into my home, boarding for example. Currently my schedule is open until I get a feel for things and see how this all works out :) I do not have a fenced in yard but I live out in a rural area on 5 acres of land. So once I'm comfortable with your dog, and they can be trusted to, then we can have lots of fun playing. If a leash is needed (walks, no fence etc) then I can still run and play with them. Hopefully we can find an area around your home somewhere that's enclosed to play in. I'm not someone that's ever been a "dog park" type of person. There's just too much excitement and so much can go wrong. So I definitely won't be doing that with an animal that isn't mine. I prefer a harness, not a collar, and a fixed leash (prefer 6 ft), not a retractable one. Collars lead to so many issues with the esophagus/ throat, and retractable leashes are not always reliable.

About: I have had cats and dogs in our family for over 40 years. Our current dog is a 18 month old year old Westie. She loves small and large dogs. Senior dogs are well. I am experienced in giving medication, First Aid and CPR for dogs. I am currently retired so I am available 24/7. I can board dogs in my home under 40 lbs. I can walk dogs during the working day when you are away. I live on a quiet 10 acres and have a fenced yard with a friendly 12 lb Westie. Your dog will be one of the family. I'm an currently retired. Our Westie gets 2 walks a day and we often go to the park down the street when the weather is right. My Westie is 18 months old so we are very engaged with her playtime and continued training. I have a fenced yard. My dog can play with your dog. She enjoys the company if other dogs. we play a lot of ball and tug.

About: I have skills in working with dogs with special needs. I know how to handle certain medical situations (seizures). I have a love for senior dogs. I love puppies but senior dogs have majority of my heart. I can created a warm welcome greeting with your fur babies. I love to play with dogs and make them feel safe and happy. I am currently looking to take on part time pet care needs. In order to make sure I can help in maintaining a great relationship with your fur baby, I feel as spending more time getting to know your fur baby is more important to me then having a lot of clients. Quality over quantity. I have an almost acre of fenced in back yard. I have 3 fur babies of my own. My oldest is special needs. He has seizures, RA, and stomach issues. All 3 of my babies are beyond SPOILED.

About: Choosing the right pet sitter is a significant decision for both you and your pets. My unique blend of experience, passion, and dedication to providing exceptional care sets me apart. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved pets and provide you with the peace of mind you deserve. I have experience with senior dogs as well. I will give regular updates, with a peace of mind. While treating your home with the same care and respect as o do your pets maintaining cleanliness and security. Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine is essential to ensure the health and happiness of my furry friends. we take morning walks. I provide fresh food and clean water at these times. We take evening walks or Playtime. I clean their bedding, litter box, or cages. We also take time out to buy pet supplies such as food, treats, and hygiene products. Remove hazards such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be ingested. Secure Boundaries: I make sure the yard is securely fenced to prevent. For consistency, I like to stick to the pet's usual routines, including feeding schedules and exercise patterns. This consistency helps build trust. Daily logs of the pet's activities, are kept, including feeding, bathroom breaks, and any unusual behavior. I will share photos or videos with the pet owner to provide reassurance and maintain trust. Prioritize their safety, build trust through care and attention, and create a comfortable environment, and you'll provide exceptional pet care services.

About: I am a lover of all animals. Especially dogs! We always had cats growing up. In 2013 I got an Olde English Bulldog. I was blessed to have him in my life for 9 amazing years. He crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago and it broke my heart. He was my whole world! I’ve contemplated on getting another dog, but I don’t know if I can handle the heartbreak of losing another one. So I think Rover will be good for me. I can love and enjoy other people’s fur babies. I’m good with grooming, such as bathing, clipping nails, and cleaning ears. I am also good with administering medication. I know all the tricks 😉 During the week I’m available Monday-Thursday in the Evening. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I am pretty much available all day, unless I have something planned. I would care for your pet according to your instructions. Every pet is different and I would like to do what makes your fur baby comfortable and happy ❤️

About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I also have experience taking care of freshwater aquariums, turtles, snakes, and birds. I love animals and am open to whatever your needs are. Currently, we have an 8 year old spayed lab, and two dog friendly cats. I have the ability to seperate sections of the house if your dog or cat is not cat/dog friendly. I have 18 acres to take dogs on walks, as well as a fenced in back yard with a pool for play time and summer swims. I don't mind providing baths to dogs that may need them and I also have experience bathing cats as long as they are generally tolerant to the process. I am a master's student so I am always home and won't leave your pet alone for hours at a time. My little zoo and I would love to meet you! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any special requests, questions, or concerns.

About: My family owned dogs and cats all my life. Once I got old enough to take on responsibility, I started feeding, bathing, walking, and cleaning up after my pets. I love pets of all kind and I've owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and guinea pigs. I currently have 8 dogs of my own which are 7 American bullies and one Boston Terrier (Abel, Nyx, Hella, Cash, Holly, Buckshot, Zarah, and Maddie) a gecko named Leroy, and a baby quaker parrot, named Sully. I am very familiar and comfortable with all size of dogs as I have owned so many different breeds over the years. From Great danes to small dogs. I love spending time with my pets as well as getting to know and spend time with others. I understand the importance of doing what is asked by the owner of the pets! If you want someone that is a huge animal lover and who is reliable and trustworthy, look no further! I can't wait to hear from you and meet your fur baby !! I currently work full time, my days off vary and change a lot due to be being in management. I am normally available early in the day. If we have already pre booked something, and my work schedule changes, I will still make accommodations to make sure your baby is taken care of! While caring for your pet inside your home, I will do exactly what you ask of me and treat your fur baby and your property with respect. I will love and care for your baby as if they were my own and make sure the house is left in the same condition it was in before I arrived.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was pretty young, working on Rover when it first came out. I worked at a dog daycare in Indianapolis for 5 years that I was a general manager at for 3 years of that time. I have a 6 year old mini Australian shepherd that I have experience with managing dog reactivity. I currently am in between jobs and have plenty of open availability. I structure my day around your pets’ needs and then prioritize admin work tasks once I have a schedule to work with. My own dog is selectively dog reactive so I am very aware of my surroundings and his triggers at any given time when outside of our home. I can and have always provided multiple daily updates, pictures, videos, and am very responsive to owners. I am more than willing to share my personal number to ensure trusted communication.

About: Hello there! Let me take the stress of having to find a sitter for your pets off of your shoulders! I love getting to meet new dogs and cats. I currently work at an animal shelter once a week so I feel very comfortable with handling different varieties of cats and dogs. I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of others pets. I know how to follow directions and make sure the needs of the pets are taken care of. Currently, I cannot board any pets. I can come to your home if needed to let your dog out, play with your cat and of course make sure your furry children have food to eat. I’d love to be your next go to pet sitter. Your pets will thank you. The only day I am not available is Tuesday since that is the day I’m working at the animal shelter. Other than that, my schedule is usually open. Currently I am not able to board any pets right now due to living in an apartment. I have 2 pets of my own already and cannot have anymore due to the apartment rules. For my own pets, I let my dog out at least 3 times a day and feed her twice a day. I also feed my cat twice a day and empty out his litter box when it’s full.
