About: Hi there! I’m Brian, and along with my 17-year-old daughter Natalie, we’re a dog-loving duo offering reliable, affectionate care for your pets. We share our home with our sweet English Pointer, Cassie, and four cats, Luna, Willow, and Evie, and bring over two decades of pet experience to every walk, visit, or stay. I’ve had dogs and cats for 24 years, including two other English Pointers, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. Natalie and I are both gentle, patient, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, calm companionship, or just a little extra TLC, we’re here to help. We are happy to do meet-and-greets ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. We can accommodate a variety of needs and we’ll always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule and Natalie is a student at Penn with free time on weekends and evenings. We will not show ourselves as available if we are not. I care for my dog, Cassie, who is an active English Pointer, by taking her to the dog park, spending time on the couch with her, and giving her lots of love. Natalie cares for her cats by making sure they are stimulated and have lots of treats.

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve worked as a dog walker, have a dog of my own, and regularly care for family dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup or giving extra patience and attention to a more relaxed or senior dog, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and keep owners updated for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already structure my schedule around caring for my own dog, including walks, feeding, playtime, and consistency. I plan my days to make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, so they’re never rushed and always get the attention they deserve. I live with my parents, so someone is always usually home with the dog! I’m reliable and flexible, which allows me to maintain routines that keep dogs comfortable and happy. I focus on keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space and personality. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I supervise interactions, keep a consistent routine, and make sure they get a balance of activity and rest. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they feel confident while they’re away.

“Victoria is wonderful! Super responsive, reliable, and punctual. She was a delight to work with. Highly recommend.”

About: I love all kinds of animals! I have 2 dogs of my own -- a German shepherd and Black lab -- and I have taken care of them since we got them when I was 12. Every time I encounter a new animal, I stop whatever I’m doing to play/pet/love on him or her! Animals are one of the favorite things on the planet and nothing makes me happier than knowing that they are happy! I plan to take incredible care of your animals and give them the best treatment! :) I am completely flexible this summer and able to provide whatever care you need for your fur babies! Let me know what your schedule is and I will make it work! If I'm providing pet care in your home, I will follow any special instructions closely regarding food, medicine, and any other needs! I will help to maintain your pet's routine as much as possible while keeping your home tidy and secure. I will make communication with you a priority!

“Valeria is great! Rockne loves when she comes over for walks.”

About: I've been in the animal field for 25 years and in the veterinary specific field for almost 20. I have a special interest in senior or special needs kitties and can easily administer medications and subcutaneous fluids. I'm patient and flexible and work well with owners to provide specific care needs for your critter companions and family members. I work full time currently at a veterinary clinic but am available early mornings, evenings, and afternoons when not scheduled. Available most weekends and holidays as well. I am patient and understanding of all varieties of animals, but have a special bond with feline companions. I work well with even the spiciest or scared kitties to make them comfortable and safe while in my care.

About: My whole life I have been surrounded by dogs so I have a special place in heart for them. I have grown up with dogs in my home and have taken care of them my whole life. I have cared for many types of dogs in a professional setting for the last 4 years so I know the struggles and also the joys of caring for pets. Friends, family and clients have trusted me to feed, water, play, walk, medicate, and take full care of their pets whatever their needs my be. But, more than that, they have trusted me to take care of their homes by bringing in the mail and packages, staying at night, and cleaning their homes and up after the pets. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently a part time student which allows me to have much flexibility in my schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets! I care for pets in my clients home by doing any and all care my client enlists me to do. I take joy in every dog sitting job that I do and just absolutely love every minute of it. I take precautions by meeting the family and pets before agreeing to dogsit to ensure it would be a good fit the both of us. I always make sure I have up to date contact information for the client and their vet. Every dog sitting job is different but I would say an average day would look like letting the dogs out first thing in the morning and refilling water and the food bowl if necessary. Then, I'll take them for a walk and play with them, let them outside midday, play with them some more, give them a few treats to see what kind of tricks they can do, probably lots of belly rubs in between, and then feed them dinner and water. Lastly, I would take them outside right before we go to bed.

About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals since I was 8 years old! I grew up with as many as 4 dogs and 5 cats at once! I’m a preschool teacher looking to have a fun side gig; taking care of your pet would make my week so much more fun. Hope to hear from you soon! I have 3 cats in my apartment currently and they are all my little babies! They will sometimes get to go out on balcony with supervision and one of our cats likes to go outside for walks!

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I am new to the area and would love to have some canine warmth in my life. Currently missing my dogs who live with my parents. One is a pure bred border terrier, Sadie, and the other is a mutt from the pound, Charlie. I moved to the area for graduate school. I have classes throughout the week and would be able to care for pets before and after classes. I have another part-time gig as a soccer trainer, which doesn't take up more than 2-3 hours a day. I live in an apartment with a dog park. There are also trails around my complex. I do not have anything like crates or cages in my unit for dogs.

“Thank you, McKenna!”

About: I have many years of animal care experience. I have worked at animal boarding facilities as well as humane shelters. I also volunteer at the local zoo and animal shelter. I am going to school to be a veterinarian. I currently work a veterinary hospital as well a veterinary ER. I would love to spend time with your pets! I am working full time and doing school online. so I will make plenty of time for your pets needs and am willing to be flexible I have three cats currently. When I go home for visits I also have two dogs that I help care for. I am comfortable with a wide variety of pets you may have!

About: Pet guardian since birth. Animal care professional for over 10 years. I know that pets aren't just animals they are family! With a decade of experience with many animal species as a Veterinary Assistant in both general practice and shelter medicine, I offer a level of expertise that goes beyond a standard pet sitter. My background allows me to recognize subtle signs of illness or distress, administer medications, and provide animal first aid with confidence. I've also worked in boarding and training facilities and understand that many pets don’t thrive in that high stress environment. Whether your dog is a puppy, high energy, senior, timid, or exhibits reactive/aggressive behaviors, I provide a patient, low stress environment tailored to their specific needs and personality. My biggest goal is to provide the top notch care they deserve and give you total peace of mind while you're away. While I specialize in dogs, I am experienced with and more than happy to care for cats, reptiles, rodents, farm animals and more. If you have any questions about my background or specific needs for your pet, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! My entire daily routine revolves around the animals. Their meal times and potty schedules direct my whole day. My own dogs are my personal alarm clock and make sure to remind me when it's time to eat and for walks. I aim to keep routines as normal as possible. Even with fenced in yards, I go out with them and make sure everyone stays out of trouble ( no digging, chewing plants, etc), dogs are NEVER walked off leash, all dogs eat with supervision and can be separated if necessary, I will also crate if necessary if leaving the home or at night by owner request.

About: I love pet! and I have been spending my life with them since I was young. I have dogs as my pet now and I used to pet cats before, so I don't mind taking care of cats :) I've been with puppies, aging dogs, and disabled dogs. I like teaching some tricks for them! My dogs know how to roll, wait, speak, lay down, and give a hand :D I love to see them well-groomed! so If you want me to make them smell good, I would love to take a bath for them. If your dogs are energetic, I don't mind taking them to do activities, such as running. If your dogs stay overnight with me, I would use them as my bear lol

About: Hello everyone! Thank you for considering me to take care of your furbabies! I have two dogs of my own aged 5 and 4, so I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring to watch your pets when needed! I have watched dogs ranging from full grown german shepherds to small puppies. I volunteered at my local animal shelter, Pet Refuge, five years ago and discovered my passion for animals! I have experience with caring for numerous sizes, ages, and breeds of dogs through both my past volunteer experience and my work here through Rover over the past 4 years. These dogs include pit bulls, golden retrievers, australian shepherds, poodles and doodles, labs, chihuahuas, beagles, bulldogs, terriers, and many mixes in between. My experience includes walking, feeding, giving oral medicine, and knowledge of the various traits and behaviors of dogs. I have learned many skills on how to interact with dogs and how to read their body language. I have been so fortunate to expand further on all of these skills through my own work full-time here on Rover with my daily clients, as well as my every-once-in-awhile pet pals that just need someone when their parents go on vacation! I also had a childhood cat who lived to be 18 years old, and adopted two kittens last year who just recently turned one! Therefore, I do have experience with cat duties as well including litter box cleaning and feeding. I love working with animals. I am currently pet-sitting full time in hopes to one day create my own business and expand! I am so passionate and appreciate all of my current and past pet parents so much for allowing me to take care of their pets! My schedule is generally completely open according to my availability and I would love to hear from you! I am super flexible! Outside of my Rover schedule I stay at home with my own two dogs and two kitties! As I previously stated, I have a few pets of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and honest. Communication is key for my care and I am always updating, asking questions, and communicating with the parent while I care for their pet. Who doesn’t love lots of updates? I go with your pets pace, so if it’s a puppy full of energy we’ll be sure to play a lot - but if you have a senior who likes to relax, we will! Whatever your dogs (or cats) needs are I am there to fulfill them!

About: I know first hand how important a pet is. They are not just a pet they are part of the family. I will make sure that the love, attention and affection lasts even when you are away. I have a huge love for animals and knowing I’m helping give your fur baby the love they deserve while keeping them out of the a stressful boarding environment makes me very happy! I have a very flexible schedule on my days off work. I work Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and every other Saturday. My fiancé is amazing and more than willing to help me care for your pet if needed. He is as much an animal lover as me. I have had dogs all of my life so I am very familiar with what it takes to care for them. I am signing up for my dog training certification as well to help further my knowledge on dog behavior. My dream is to work with animals and this is the perfect opportunity. I work full time Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and every other Saturday. I am flexible on my days off. However, If your home is close enough to my work I can always do a drop in during my lunch break to check on your pet and let them out to potty and play. I always try to stick to the closest routine your pet is used to as possible to help reduce any stress and anxiety that your pet may experience while you are away.

About: Have experience with caring for multiple pets at once, including puppies, elderly cats & dogs, & diabetic pets. Would love to help take care of your family members! I WFH and set my own schedule, so I'm very flexible in regards to my house sitting availability! As for walking, mostly available during the week but can negotiate for weekends in certain cases. I do not pet sit in my own home because I have cats of my own, but have a lot of experience house/pet sitting in clients homes and can provide references.

About: I have had both dogs and cats since a young child, multiple at a time. I have petsit for many family friends for years and am usually the go to person for them as their pets are comfortable around me. I've owned dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and birds! I work 8 hours a day, from 7am-3:30pm but I have a 30 min drive to and from work (I work in Tempe!) so my availability for drop ins is mostly during super early mornings and late afternoons/evenings. I can do drop in visits before and after work or spend the entire evening and night with them if thats what they need! I do not work Saturdays or Sundays! I try to dedicate times to play, affection, and simple presence so the pets feel at ease and comfortable in their own homes while I also catering to their needs. I am open to spending hours with your pet(s) just so they have a human to be around if needed, I absolutely do not mind hanging out with them and playing with then throughout the day.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!
