About: As a student studying veterinary medicine, I feel confident in my abilities to provide the best care for your animal. My passion for animals started at a very young age and led me to start my own pet sitting business at 12 years old. I enforced my husbandry knowledge in college by volunteering at the MSPCA Animal Shelter and Clinic and the New England Animal Hospital. This taught me the best care for animals of all ages and health statuses including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, birds, and rodents. I am Fear Free certified which is a course that emphasizes the best ways to interact with and treat animals to reduce anxiety and stress. Additionally, I am well experienced with administering medications if needed. As a student, I have fewer commitments when I am home for break which is perfect for pet parents looking for frequent or long visits and vacation pet care. I will unfortunately not be able to provide routine visits during the times I am at school but I return home for months at a time during the winter and summer. When you love what you do like me, visits with your pets are long and thoughtful every time. Though I cannot house your pets in my home due to my own senior cat, I can assure that I will make my visits at your home count.

Adrienne took such good care of our 2 adult kitties. She managed the daily medications for one of our guys and gained the trust of our shyer cat. We highly recommend Adrienne as a pet sitter and won’t hesitate to book her again when we need someone look after our cats.

About: Apart from living with dogs my entire life, I've also pet sitted for several families on multiple occasions, and have volunteered as a dog walker at local shelters since I was in elementary school. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including my own parents insane border collie in New York, who loves the dog park to the point of unsettling passion and will never take a walk without scaling the forest floor like spiderman. I am currently work part-time and am a full-time graduate student. Fortunately, all of my academic obligations at this time are remote, so I'm quite flexible! Safety was always a huge part of my pet experience growing up, as many of my dogs and cats loved to defend our property or escape into the woods. From entering and exiting the home to walking, I am extremely cautious, always double-checking and never walking without a leash.

Consistently, Erika is such a great sitter!! We appreciate her stopping by a ton - our cat Olly enjoys her visits. She leaves him little treats and always responds to messages timely. Couldn’t recommend Erika more!

About: I have grown up with dogs and have had the privilege of getting my own dog to live a full life to the ripe old age of 17+. I work full time as a guidance counselor and have 2 school-aged kids so being a doggie mom is not possible right now, but with lots of school breaks and summers, I can be the best doggie aunt! Everyone has a fun aunt that takes them hiking, swimming, and snuggles during movies. That’s me. Weekends from September to June, more flexibility in the summer and over school breaks. We are an active family and can take the dog on local adventures, but also can relax at home for older pets. Permanent fencing around house with the exception of driveway (no gate) but have a movable gate to Keep pets in. We live near hiking and ponds areas, across the street from a big park and within walking distance to a college with plenty of green space for long walks.

About: My partner (Henry) and I love to watch dogs together! We have been surrounded by dogs our whole lives, from small picky eaters to large dogs that can run for miles. Growing up around dogs, we know that they are all different and respond to new people differently, but we have had positive experiences in taking care of family’s, neighbors’, and friends’ dogs in the past and have a ton of energy to do so. We love spending time outside and with dogs and have dog-sat before, including experiences wherein we did not stay in the owners’ home, but visited frequently to walk and feed their dog, and we have dog sat in our own home, so we are comfortable with adapting our services to any of your needs. We both have hybrid work situations, so one of us is always working from home at any given time and are used to being flexible with a pet’s schedule. We take care of pets like they are our own, in the past when we have boarded dogs in our home we have adapted to what the pet is and is not allowed to do (ie sleeping in the bedroom or not etc.)

About: I’ve taken care of others dogs for a few years now, but I have had dogs of my own since I was 4 years old. I am currently living on SDSU campus and do not have a car, so you would need to be within walking distance. I am available all day any day! I will always make sure dogs are secure on leashes and safe with me. I will make sure it’s not too hot for them and they get the care they need

About: I've had a dog of my own for about 10 years, and I’ve also cared for other dogs for up to 5 days at a time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I love being around dogs—they genuinely make me happy. I’m comfortable with puppies and senior dogs and always try to adjust to each dog’s pace and needs. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work remotely with flexible hours, so I’m available for regular walks throughout the day. I love taking breaks to get outside, and walking dogs is the perfect way to add movement and joy to my daily routine. I do my best to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of playtime and affection (if they want it!), and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home, leave everything as I found it, and always keep in touch with updates and photos.

About: Hi, I’m McKenzie! I’ve been around pets for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. As a proud dog mom to my 3-year-old French Bulldog, Prada, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Prada is very friendly, loves to play, and honestly, she’s my daughter in dog form! I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am already a dedicated dog mom to my 3-year-old French Bulldog, Prada. My day revolves around making sure she is happy, healthy, and well cared for through regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. Since caring for pets is already a part of my everyday life, welcoming and caring for other dogs comes naturally to me. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Prada is very friendly, loves to play, and enjoys the company of other dogs, making our home a fun and welcoming place for your furry friend. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I live in a spacious apartment in Randolph, which gives dogs plenty of room to move around and feel at home. For exercise and potty breaks, we regularly go on walks around the block. We also have access to a large open field where dogs can run around, play, and get their energy out. On most days, we take Prada to the dog park for additional socialization and exercise. Inside the home, dogs are treated like family. Prada is free to roam around the apartment, and visiting pets are welcome to do the same unless owners request otherwise. Prada even has her own bed, and I make sure every pet has a comfortable space to rest, relax, and feel secure. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I will maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and happy.

About: I love dogs, they each have unique personalities. I do understand that our pets are very special and deserve great care. I am prompt and I will communicate with you. Recently I have dog sat and dog walked a pair of Samoyed a pair of dogs quite often. They love watching me cook. They can sit, stay, and give paw. Very routine and food driven. Great with kids and gentle. I have availability all day every other weekend and Tuesday and Thursday nights. I love dog walking, being outdoors. If your dog does well with children my availability is more open. I will feed them, give them water, give their medications, take for walks, and monitor to make sure they are not destructive of any items. Also I give very good pet cuddles.

About: Hello and welcome to my profile. My name is Monica and I am the proud fur-mom to a 3 year old golden named Mango. I am on rover to help with the needs of pet care as I know it can be quite expensive these days and am looking for something to do in my free time. I currently work at an Animal Hosptial, looking to expand my time with animals. I have 7 years of animal care, including 4 of those years working at a doggie daycare/kennel environment which has allowed me to understand dogs better, and how their body language/behavior is when it comes to being in a kennel environment and in a home environment. My dog Mango and I love to go on walks whether it’s to her favorite swimming area, or just in a field to run around and play ball. We are always out walking no matter the weather! I have experience taking care of animals ranging from puppies all the way to seniors. I have experience doing medications as well for both cats and dogs. I would love to help be a pet sitter for your wonderful fur babies. Don’t hesitate to reach out 😊 Always can fit in time to take your furbaby on a walk if they are energetic, or sit at home and give them attention if they are a homebody. Always love playing ball and being outside no matter the weather. For my own home I do not have a fenced in yard but my golden has a electric fence that she has been trained on to stay in the area when we are outside playing, or just enjoying the weather. If a fenced in yard is something you don’t have, I am always willing to find a quiet dog area to let your pup run, or even be able to take on a nice long walk to burn out their energy

About: Hi, I’m Sam! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years and have had 2 of my own prior to college, so I know firsthand how much they mean to the family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight sitting, I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs. Animals bring me so much joy, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, I’m here to give them the attention they deserve. I am a recent college grad who will be able to work until July 1. I have a lot of open availability so please feel free to message me for more specific times. In my home they’ll get plenty of love, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. If I’m caring for your pet at your place, I’ll follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, and snuggles. I’ll keep things clean, give them all the attention they need, and send you updates and pictures so you know they’re happy and cared for.

We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! From the moment we met at the meet and greet, it was clear that our cat was in caring, capable, and experienced hands. Not only did Jenin provide lots of love, attention, and regular updates while we were away, but she also confidently administered our cat's insulin injections twice a day with great care and professionalism. Knowing that our diabetic cat was receiving the correct medication on schedule gave us complete peace of mind, which is priceless when you're away from home. We have already booked Jenin for our next vacation, knowing that our cat will be very well cared for while we are away.

Xianxin was amazing! She cared for our two cats while we were away for 14 days abroad. She went above and beyond, making sure our kitties weren’t just cared for with food, water, and litter boxes but she spent time playing with them and giving them attention, too. My cats really adore her! The daily photos also helped us feel better being away from them, it was something we looked forward to. She was super responsive to messages. I will 100% be rebooking with her if we can next time we are out of town and highly recommend her services!
