They have trusted in me to make sure they being taken care of I’m currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time on my hands to care for your fur babies and I’ve also grown up my whole life with animals in my house I have a fenced in yard and and a 6 month old puppy that will keep your fur baby company. I love to play with fur babies

About: I work 8-4:30pm Monday through Friday, I can do before work and after work depending on the time and area pretty much always available on weekends feel free to reach out 😃. I have been around animals my whole life. As a child we had three American Bull dogs. I have taken care of animals for friends when they were out of town until they return home. I personally have a dog named Simba, he’s very loving and loves attention. We go on walks and play fetch, he gets spoiled with toys weekly. Pet care fits into my schedule because I can drop in before and after work. Weekends I’m free all through out the day so plenty of time for extra attention! I work from home three days out of the week Monday - Friday and go in twice a week. I follow all owner rules and like to send pictures and videos of their happy fur babies. I care for Simba by taking him potty regularly making sure he has plenty of food and water. We go for walks when the weather lets us.

About: I have been taking care of and loving on pets for 10+ years. I have several fur babies of my own, so I certainly understand the importance of having someone take care of your pets who will love them just as much as you do! I have experience with caring for pets for most of my life, but most recently, I have been doing drop in visits to feed and take care of family pets, as well as some pet sitting for friends who are out of town. I am also familiar with dealing with anxious dogs as both of my boys have some pretty serious storm anxiety. I do currently work full time, however, I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to drop in and take your fur babies for walks, or just check in and spend some time providing snuggles throughout the day. I am free on weekends as well for house-sitting, overnight care, etc. I believe your pets should be taken care of exactly the way they would be if you were home! Whether that means sleeping in the bed, walks 3x a day, or a strict schedule, I will always follow your established regimen to the absolute best of my ability. There is nothing more important than making sure your pet feels as comfortable in their routines and home as possible when mom and dad are away.

About: Hi, I’m Tazh! I’ve cared for animals of all kinds — from energetic dogs and cuddly cats to horses, chickens, and other farm animals. Whether it’s daily feeding, walks, grooming, or just keeping your pets company, I treat every animal like my own. I understand that each pet has its own personality and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. With hands-on experience in both farm care and household pet sitting, I’m comfortable managing feeding routines, medication, exercise, and even light stable or coop care. You can count on me for reliable updates, plenty of photos, and genuine care — no matter how big or small your animal family is! Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because my schedule is very flexible. I have the freedom to adjust my days around walks, feedings, or overnight stays, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they need without rushing. Whether it’s early-morning drop-ins, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I’m able to work around my clients’ needs and make sure every animal’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine and keeping them comfortable in their familiar space. I handle feedings, walks, playtime, and cuddles — whatever they’re used to! I always treat my clients’ homes with respect and keep pet parents updated with messages and pictures so they know everything’s going smoothly.

About: Hi, I’m Gabbi, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for other people’s pets! I am new to Rover, but I have multiple pet sitting references that I can provide from customers that have had me hired me for years! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes from Great Pyrenees to Chihuahuas. I’ve handled hundreds of cats so I am used to every personality. I have also cared for reptiles, amphibians, fish, farm animals, and rodents. I’ve watched dogs who need vigorous exercise, as well as the opposite. I’ve cared for puppies and kittens, seniors, and every age in between. I’ve watched a litter of kittens that were still nursing. I have experience with cats and dogs affected by cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness, and other special needs. I am experienced in administering multiple forms of medication. I also volunteer for an animal shelter, which gives me a lot of unique situations and experiences! I have a relatively flexible schedule. I work part time at a dog grooming salon. My shifts are typically 6 hours or less, and I only work up to 3 days a week. I do sometimes have other commitments that are unlikely to take more than 4 hours at a time. For people interested in boarding, I have a fenced yard and an 11/yo, 15 lb Shih Tzu who is very friendly. He is laid back and prefers dogs who are also laid back, but has never shown aggression with high energy dogs. I typically walk the dogs I watch at least once a day, but that can vary on the age and/or the activity level of the dog. I can also take them to a park, weather permitting! I always try to keep the pups experience as stress-free as possible, so I listen closely to everything you tell me about your pet. I try to stick to any routine that you guys share, whether that be feeding times, walking times, or anything else! I live in a quiet neighborhood where your dog will be safe with me.

About: Hands on care, including feeding, walking, and administering meds, while emphasizing responsibility and attention to detail in maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I proactively plan and can adjust to your schedule to accommodate owner or dogs needs. I have an extremely friendly dog that thinks all dogs want to be his best friend. I’m flexible to any needs your fur baby might need throughout their stay!

About: With a genuine love for dogs of every age, size, and breed, I provide personalized care and attention tailored to your furry friend’s unique needs. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle seniors, my flexible approach ensures a safe and fun environment for all. Trust me to keep your dog happy and healthy while you’re away – I can’t wait to meet them! Pet care is a vital part of my routine. After my full-time work, I dedicate my afternoons to ensure pets receive proper attention, exercise, and feeding. My 2-year-old lab loves to help out, play with new friends, and is mild-mannered, making our pet care experience enjoyable. On weekdays, I focus on their needs after 2:30 PM, while weekends allow for more extended care and activities. In client's homes, I prioritize a structured approach to pet care. This includes regular feeding schedules, daily walks, grooming, and interactive playtime. With my friendly lab by my side, we provide companionship and engagement to other pets. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, ensuring each pet enjoys physical and emotional well-being.

About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.

“Rebecca was great! Buzz loved her and you could tell he had a good time walking with her. She came inside and met my other dog, who is sometimes hard to get along with. He took very well to her as well! We will definitely be using her for sitter services in the future. Thanks Rebecca!”

“Kinsey was great even with our request being last minute. She did a great job walking our dog. Will definitely book again if needed.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My next door neighbors owned a miniature Schnauzer named Max, and he was my first-ever real job as a dog caretaker! I have fond memories of putting Max on a leash, taking him on a walk, and then playing with him in the living room. As I grew older, I got more dog sitting jobs from my friends and family. I have taken care of dogs as small as a chihuahua, or as large as a Great Dane. It is a joy for me to interact with each dog and discover each of their unique personalities. I have experience administering oral medication to dogs as well as changing dog diapers. I am a new stay at home mom to my 5 month old, so my schedule is flexible. I am mostly free during the weekdays, but can work with your schedule if given enough notice for a specific date on a weekend. It is my top priority to make sure both you and your dog feel comfortable, happy, and well taken care of with my services! No matter if I am just checking in for a visit, walking your dog, or staying in your home, I like to provide you with a quick overview of my time spent with your dog. This includes if we played, how he/she enjoyed the walk, if I gave any treats (which I love to do😉), if your dog went to the bathroom well, and your dog’s overall demeanor. I also love to take pictures to show you how things are going. I will love and take care of your dog as if he or she was my own.

I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son.

There is even a park about 5 minutes from my house. Our home is a great place to let your dog be a dog. Our dogs are very friendly dogs. They may bark a bit at first, but once they settle down they become fast friends with everyone. When we introduce other dogs to our dogs we always make sure that they all are secured with a leash to prevent any possibilities of harm to any of our fur babies.

My goal is to give the pet owners peace of mind and give as many pets as I can.
