About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve helped raise and care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from a gentle Rottweiler named Clyde to a full litter of 13 pit bull puppies (we kept one and named him Blue!). I’ve also helped with training basics and walked dogs like Bernie the mutt, Sammie the Beagle, and Cooper, my dad’s current pup. I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability during the week and on weekends. I’m happy to do morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet's routine. I also drive for Uber/Lyft, which gives me flexibility to prioritize pet care during the day. When visiting your home, I follow your specific care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, calm, and dependable, and I make sure pets get the attention, movement, and love they need while you're away. I’m also comfortable crating, administering basic meds, and managing multiple pets.
“Very sweet and caring sitter, lots of pictures and details on how the dogs were doing.”

About: Hii!! I’m Julia and I absolutely love animals. I grew up with dogs and spent a lot of time caring for stray cats, so being around animals has always come naturally to me. I regularly dog sit for my parents, friends, and neighbors, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while their humans are away. I’d love to be a part of your pet’s routine and give them all the love and attention they deserve! Pictured are a couple pets I regularly look after. 🐾💛 I grew up with dogs, cared for stray cats, and these days I regularly dog sit for my parents, friends, and neighbors. I'm currently on summer break and would love to spend time with some furry walking companions! Whether it’s strolls around the neighborhood, playtime, or just being a cozy buddy, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and loved. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for both cats and dogs, and I make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. For dogs, I take them outside regularly for walks, fresh air, and playtime. I keep their routines consistent, whether it’s feeding, medication, or quiet time. For cats, I create a cozy, low-stress environment with room for litter boxes, toys, and hiding spots if they need them. I also keep plenty of space for any supplies you provide, and I always treat your pets like they’re my own — with lots of love, patience, and attention.
About: I've had at least one dog since I was 23, and currently, I have two that I absolutely adore. Lately, I've been searching for pet sitters and thought, "Why not do it myself?" I’d love to help others by providing trustworthy care for their four-legged friends when they can’t be there. For drop-ins I can come 3 times during the day everyday except Tuesday and Wednesday, I can only do 2 on those days. I work in the office two days a week but am home on weekends. On office days, I’m there for 8 hours, but I can come home during lunch to let your dogs out if needed. If your dog gets along with mine, they’ll have free rein of the house. If not, they’ll stay in the kitchen when I can’t supervise them. My yard is secure since I have an escape artist of my own! :) I typically only take one dog at a time (or two if they're from the same family).
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!
About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.

About: Hi! my name is Chloe, I’m a paralegal and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. Now that summer is approaching, i am ready to fill my evenings and weekends with animals. I will have more availablity as the summer goes on. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so. I’ve previously used Wag and when I complete the services I communicate a lot with the pet parents throughout the time letting them know what I’ve done, etc.
About: I have 5 years experience training and boarding dogs. I have 2 Dutch shepherds, 1 shihtzu, and 1 rescue currently. I am a NePoPo silver school graduate.

Jacob B.
“I have had the joy of sharing my life with my Fiance' Jacob for nearly seven years, and throughout this time, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible love and care he shows for our cats, Jax (9 years old) and Ruthie (8 years old). Jacob is truly one of the most caring and attentive people I know, especially when it comes to animals. From the very beginning, Jacob has gone above and beyond to ensure our cats feel safe, loved, and cherished every single day. Ruthie, who was very shy when we first started dating, has blossomed into a confident and affectionate cat, forming a special bond with Jacob that is heartwarming to see. Jax has always trusted and adored Jacob, frequently seeking his lap or feet for comfort and companionship, especially at night. Jacob has a unique ability to connect with animals on their level, whether it’s playing with their toys, rolling around on the carpet, or simply spending quiet moments together. He treats our cats like family, with the same love and attention he would give to children, but with a gentle understanding of their unique needs as pets. His selflessness and dedication to their well-being are truly inspiring. Looking ahead, we plan to expand our family by adopting a dog once we have more space in our home and yard. Jacob’s experience growing up with Rottweilers and Pitbulls has given him excellent knowledge and understanding of these breeds, further highlighting his capability as a responsible and skilled pet caregiver. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob for any pet care role. His compassion, experience, and genuine love for animals make him an exceptional candidate who will provide outstanding care and affection to every pet he looks after.”

It is such a relief to have such a kind, detail-oriented and trustworthy person to care for my girl when I can’t.”

“Rebecca is the Ultimate pet sitter. We have asked Rebecca to care for our elderly dog for both short and long stays. She is knowledgeable about dog needs and willing to go above and beyond for special need animals. She is not only a true professional but loving and caring to our sweet boy. We would not trust anyone else to take care of our dog and in fact we plan our vacations around her availability. We could not recommend Rebecca any higher. Your pet will be in loving hands with her.”

Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”

Elizabeth Park Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sidney has been so wonderful with my puppy, Corvi! My pup took to Sidney immediately and looking forward to utilizing her multiple services!
This is the second time we used Dee to cat sit our 4 girls and she did a wonderful job! She always sent us pictures and updates of them! She also cleaned the litter box as well, which was something that I didn't expect her to do. All my girls absolutely love Dee! She is very experienced in the care of animals. I highly recommend her!
Jason watched our cat while we were gone for a week and half. During that time we got lots of updates, photos and our cat got lots of attention and play. He even put the radio on so she wouldn’t feel as alone in our usually noisy house. It was great peace of mind to know she was well taken care of while we were gone.
I scheduled a drop-in visit with Sarah who will be housing sitting for my dogs in July for the first time. Sarah was great, came in and made my German Shepherd Cooper comfortable, Cooper who will be 2 in August gets nervous around new people. Sarah played with him and gave verbal commands that my dog obeyed very well. Put me at ease about going away in July.
I have never trusted anyone, outside of family, to take care of my little buddy but, I would definitely put my faith in Matias to care for him again. He put to rest any doubts I had about using a pet sitter while I was on vacation, as well as any fears Brando may have had with someone new caring for him. He was kind and patient with him, and he also kept me informed daily on how my little guy was doing. I would recommend Matias to anyone.
Mary did an amazing job!!! This was my first time leaving my baby behind for four days, I was nervous, but Mary did such a good job at staying in touch and providing all the necessary details that my girl was doing well. Really appreciate her attentiveness and care for my dog.
We have two large Rhodesian Ridgebacks and Jess was very comfortable and confident in watching them. They are well behaved dogs and they took to Jess from the initial meet and greet. Jess was very communicative during her visit and we would certainly use her again!
Katarina is the best with our kitties! She has watched them a handful of times over the past two years! I love the photos and check-in notes she sends each visit. I know they are in safe hands!
Taylie was amazing, happy cat and dog! I cant wait to go on our next trip knowing my pets are safe, happy, and well cared for!
I felt very comfortable leaving Smudge in their care. You could tell they bonded with her and provided excellent care while we were away. I would not hesitate to rebook. Thank you so much!!!
Abby was excellent! My lockbox was frozen shut and she was able to get hot water to open it. She also was very good with my anxious puppy❤️
Margo was recommended by family and we’re so thankful that she was willing to look after our two cats while we were away.
Rebecca is fantastic! She is extremely kind and down to earth, she is exactly who we were looking for to take care of our cat for a few days. She was very understanding of our cat’s shy behavior and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable! She left him a scavenger of treats, was very communicative, easy to work with and trust worthy. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!
Really appreciate Pat helping us on short notice! She was fantastic with our rather timid and shy cat. Pat allowed our Bella to set the pace for interaction. Very attentive and took such good care with her. She even brought in an unexpected package. Very warm and caring lady. Will definitely use her services again.
Great communication and flexibility with some last minute schedule changes! Polite and reliable. Thank you!
