About: 🐾 New to Rover! First 3 Clients Receive a Discounted Rate! 🐾 I’m an experienced international pet sitter, entrepreneur, and lifelong dog lover who brings warmth, professionalism and exceptional organization to every home! My pet-care experience spans multiple countries, including Cambodia and Mexico. While managing a guesthouse on Koh Rong Island, Cambodia, caring for the resident cats and dogs was part of my responsibilities. I’ve also provided overnight house sitting in Mexico, including five days independently caring for Gaia, a large dog in San Cristóbal de las Casas. We enjoyed hiking together, and I loved making sure she felt happy, safe, and cared for while her owner was away! I’ve also lived with a roommate’s dog for several years and have always had a natural connection with animals. What sets me apart? I’ve managed businesses domestically and internationally and worked professionally in theater management, where reliability, organization, communication and handling unexpected situations were essential. I bring that same professional mindset to caring for your pets and respecting your home. What can your pup expect? Lots of affection, belly rubs, cuddles (when welcomed!), enjoyable walks, companionship and careful attention to their individual routines. What can you expect? A responsible, clean, communicative professional who follows your instructions, maintains your pet’s schedule, keeps your home tidy and happily shares beautiful daily photo updates! As a consultant and creative professional who works virtually, I can bring my work with me, making overnight house sitting a wonderful fit. My goal is simple: For you to enjoy your time away knowing your beloved dog is comfortable, cared for, and in loving hands! 🐶💕 I’m available for overnight pet sitting. As a coach and consultant, most of my work is virtual, so I can work from your home during a stay. This allows me to spend time with your dog while keeping up with my work. We’ll discuss your pet’s routine and my schedule before booking to make sure it’s a good fit. I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, walking, and household routines closely, keep doors secure, and use a leash on walks. I’m clean and respectful of your home, and I’ll give your dog affection while respecting their comfort and boundaries. Before each stay, we’ll review care instructions and emergency contacts. I’ll send photos and updates while you’re away if you like.

“Qishu was fantastic! She was so communicative and easy to work with, she made the time to meet me/our puppy first so we all felt good about the set up, she sent great updates that showed he clearly had the best time hanging out with her!”

“Linett took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. We have two strong and energetic bully breeds and they definitely got to have lots of adventures and snuggles with her. She was very communicative and shared photos and videos of the doggos while we were gone.”

About: I have cared for multi-pet households. I have experience feeding, brushing, changing litter, and administering medication. I love animals of all sorts. I am also good with them. I am good at reading their body language, and a lot of them gravitate towards me for whatever reason. They tend to be comfortable with my presence. I am between jobs at the moment, so that means I am somewhat more flexible to work around your schedule. I am a little bit busy with stuff in my personal life, and obviously I have boundaries about when I can and can't be at your home and how much work I want to take on, but the lack of structure in my life right now means we have more options for how I can show up for your pets. I am not in school either at the moment. I am not planning to have this be my only source of income, but for now I am flexible. I can't have pets come to my apartment; it is too small and I don't live on the bottom floor so it would be too much of a hassle to take them outside. I can only come to your home. I am very respectful of boundaries and property when I enter someone else's home. I will pay close attention to your instructions about how to care for your pets and any important other details I need to know. I am responsible and detail oriented, so you can trust me in your home and with your animals. I care that my clients feel secure with me being there while they are away.

About: Leaving your pet with someone new takes trust. My goal is to help you feel informed and reassured while giving your pet patient, attentive care that respects their personality, routine, and boundaries. My hands-on experience includes two and a half years caring for my rescued Chihuahua mix and two cats. I also volunteered socializing cats at a shelter when I was younger and, more recently, volunteered regularly at a farm animal sanctuary from April through October. There, I helped with feeding, fresh water, cleaning, preparing barns, and evening routines. I’m especially comfortable with cats and understand that building trust often means offering quiet company, respecting their space, and letting them choose when to interact. Caring for my own sensitive, reactive small dog has also taught me to watch body language closely, stay aware of my surroundings, and create distance from situations that make him uncomfortable. I treat every pet as an individual. Whether they enjoy sniff-filled walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I take time to learn what helps them feel comfortable. I let them set the pace for affection and interaction rather than forcing a connection. I’ve been vegan for seven years as part of my personal commitment to animal welfare. That commitment includes respecting each pet’s dietary needs—I’m comfortable handling meat-based food and following their established feeding routine. You can expect clear communication, thoughtful updates, and photos while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets and learn what helps them feel safe, understood, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan walks, drop-ins, and house sits around your pet’s routine. For new clients, I prefer at least three days’ notice so we have time to arrange a meet-and-greet and make sure we’re a good fit before confirming a booking. During house sits, I stay overnight but may leave during the day for other pet-care bookings, errands, and personal commitments. Before booking, we’ll discuss your pet’s usual schedule, potty-break needs, and how long they can comfortably be left alone, so you know what to expect. I take a careful, detail-oriented approach to caring for both your pets and your home. At our meet-and-greet, I’ll ask about feeding instructions, walking routines, behavior, triggers, household rules, and emergency contacts. I welcome detailed care notes and will follow the plan we agree on. On walks, I’ll stay aware of our surroundings, keep your dog leashed, and avoid unfamiliar dogs or greetings unless we’ve specifically discussed them. I pay attention to body language and give pets space when they show discomfort rather than pushing them into an interaction. In your home, I’ll be mindful of doors, gates, and escape risks, keep feeding and litter areas tidy, and respect your instructions about access to rooms and outdoor spaces. For cats, I’ll offer attention without forcing handling or disturbing them when they need space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes about how your pet is doing and communicate promptly if I notice a change in their behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits. My aim is to maintain the familiar care they’re used to while giving them patience and support during your time away.

“Mish was great with my cat Dilly for a two week house sit! This was the first time I’ve left him for longer than a weekend, and I knew he’d be in good hands after meeting. They sent lots of photos and updates, and my apartment was well taken care of, too. Thanks again!”

“Cesar did an awesome job sitting our dog Ember. He was very communicative and sent us lots of fun updates and pictures, and left the house in perfect condition. Highly recommend his services!”

Cyndi M.

“Lauren is amazing! She gave me so much peace of mind before I left my kiddos for four days, asking a ton of questions to understand their needs. She was incredibly communicative and sent a ton of pics. I was able to relax and focus on my trip knowing my babies were in great hands”

“I came to a very happy Ziggy and a clean house! :)”

About: My family and I have a love for animals. We have gone through many different species of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and birds. Apart from my family, I’ve helped house-sit and cared for my friend’s dog for a few years now whenever she’s away. During that time, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, and making sure the dog feels safe and comfortable at home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra availability to care for and walk dogs. I’m able to provide consistent attention and accommodate different walking times throughout the week. I like to follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, get regular walks, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and playtime.

“Agnes was taking care of my cat Fritz for a week and it was the first time I booked them. I was very happy with them and my cat too. Agnes is very responsive and they gave me every day feedback. Definitely can recommend them.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was in middle school and I have experience with a variety of pet personalities and needs. Does your pet need special structure, routine, or medical care? No problem! I'm meticulous with complex instructions, I provide copious updates, plus—I'll baby-talk your baby like it's my own child. I'm a freelance contractor who works remotely, so I can pop in on your pet with ultimate flexibility. Weekdays, weeknights, weekends—you name it. I'm always game to make short-notice work for simple check-ins or repeat clients; for pets with more complex needs, let's schedule a meeting a day or so in advance. You know what's best for your pet; I'll follow your instructions and replicate your routine(s) ultra-faithfully, keeping things stable and comfy for your pet during our time together.

“Fantastic on all fronts. Very communicative, sent pictures, great house guest, treated our dog with a gentle touch and let her warm up to friendship. We would love to work with Devyn again.”

“Hong was wonderful with our puppy. She kept us up to date with frequent pictures and was so kind and loving to him. He really enjoyed having her care for him and was extremely happy the whole time. I highly recommend her if you are looking for the best care for your pet.”

“Emily was great with our 7 month old puppy. She arrived right on time, communicated great before and during the booking. Emily was respectful with the place and was so nice to us and Tango. Happy to request Emily to take care of our dog again.”

Kyle M.

“Thuy was an awesome dog and house sitter. She sent pictures regularly (without me even asking) which helped out my mind at ease. She also sent regular updates on how my pup was doing. She also left recommendations for me regarding my pup based on her experience with him. I would definitely recommend Thuy and book her again!!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life within my family but I’ve also taken my own path on raising puppies from the liter of my own dogs in my parents home having babies. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve taken in two dogs from the streets and have been raising them since one month old. I work for myself so any time I’d need to accommodate for your pups needs I can do that ! I just want to be of convenience for the dog parents because I know how hard it can be managing your life with your fur baby. I have crates if preferred to be used but I also have my own babies that I can bring over to spend time with your fur baby so they don’t feel alone or left out. My babies love other dogs, they are so playful and fun !
