About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for most of my life. I raised, trained, and took care of 2 very different dogs of my own starting 7 years ago. One of them is a rescue with his own specific needs and quirks so I am experienced with reactive and nervous dogs. I also have cared for many other people’s dogs. I’ve walked and care of senior dogs and helped with their unique care needs. I am attentive, responsible, and genuinely enjoy building bonds with the animals I care for. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you are away. I am currently a part time retail worker, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule for carrying for your animals. I am available for walks and in home visits everyday of the week, and I am flexible and easy to reach to set up the exact plan for your animals. I am very aware that each and every pet are very different. That’s why I am attentive and detail oriented in order to properly care for your pet in the way that it needs.

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.

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.)

Daniella was the best person I have chosen to look after my dog when I was away for 7 days. I have a small dog ,he is scared with strangers but she knows how exactly to handle him. She built the trust and they became friends. She did a lot during the 7 days drop-in-visit, such as cleaning the dog’s pee pads, walking him, playing with him,giving treats, changing water and food. My dog loves her company and even make friends with her cute little chihuahua. Absolutely amazing!! Definitely will book again in the future .

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: 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.

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.

About: I have been pet setting for friends and family for the past fifteen years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each and every fur baby I come in contact with. I do not have pets of our own, so we really take this time to provide all the love and attention to your pet while we have them Spending time with me . I have grown up with dogs and cats, my entire life, and once we moved to Charlotte, have helped our neighbors tremendously while they vacation our daily walks around our community. Days are that much more fun when we have someone to bring along with us , especially since we have a dog park walking distance from our home. I can’t wait to meet your loving pet, and give it the same love and attention it deserves. I work from home, so have unlimited time to give your pet attention and take for as many walks as needed. Typically I take two walks a day, but frequently take more when pet sitting there is an enclosed porch area that are smaller dogs that we watch like to hang out on to get sun and fresh air since our yard is not fully enclosed. On weekends that we are pet sitting, we make it a point to stay local and to include your pet in any of the activities that we do around the house. We have a large yard and an enclosed porch area that we can spend time with your dog on. Within walking distance from our house, there’s a small dog park as well. I spend a lot of time outside, walking multiple times a day and would be happy to have your pet accompany. My daughter Isabella is very mature and is excellent with helping. Keep your pet entertained if that is what they prefer. For the dogs that I have sat, and are not as active, I make sure that they have the space that they need and attentive enough to understand when there needs change.

Anne was absolutely fantastic! From offering to stop by to meet my dog to sending thoughtful recaps of each drop in visit, she was nothing short of amazing. She was very responsive, took excellent care of my dog and even went out of her way to sweep up his loose hair in my apartment. My dog loved Anne from the second she walked in the door and really enjoyed his entire time with her. I would 1000% recommend Anne to anyone who is considering booking her for any type of service. She watched my dog over my wedding weekend, which you can imagine could be stressful. I felt completely stress free with him in her care and will definitely be reaching out to book with Anne again.
