“Cheryl is 10+/10. She is accepting and the BEST in caring for my deaf sweet, sometimes determined Jack Russell mix who has her own mind. We were truly blessed when Cheryl came into our lives.”

About: I love pets so much I pet sit for fun and still work full time doing social media marketing. My pet experience ranges from pet education, pet photographer and having the opportunity to be in over 50+ vet practices in a managerial setting. I do most of my pet care off of rover, so booking here will say not be as many as I’ve done! I work full time from home, have two cats of my own and have ample time to care for others pets thanks to my flexibly! I’m a firm believer in pet boundaries. I follow all the rules the pet parents leave for the care of their pet as they know the everyday routines better than me.

About: I have almost 3 years of Veterinary Assistant experience, previously a professional bather, and fostered + pet sit all my life. I have well versed experience in administering medications both orally and injectable, bathing, nail trims, anal gland expression, detailed dietary requirements, etc. My passion is loving and caring for animals of all kinds! I personally have 2 dogs (a rescue pit bull mix and miniature dachshund) and 2 cats (one stray kitty who stole my heart and a beautiful Persian boy that fell perfectly into my life through my previous vet clinic) who I absolutely adore. I also pet sit for multiple friends and family members, and would love to expand to loving others as well! When coming to your home, I strive to ensure routine remains to not disrupt your babies lifestyle. I follow specific instructions on feeding times, training protocols, play time, medication administration, walk times, etc. I want your furry companion to feel the love and safety they deserve at all times!
About: I have had animals in my household all of my life! I love dogs, and have two of my own. I consider them to be my best friends, and I would love to treat your pet as my own! I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I am a college student home for the summer, and I am free any day you need my services. I have cared for animals in my household throughout my life, and have developed an understanding of how certain dogs require different kinds of attention/care.
About: We live with two beautiful pups and grew up with both dogs, cats, and even horses and livestock. Our experience with all is plentiful. Pets especially love our friendly nature, kind voice, and active lifestyle for a robust playtime. My husband and I currently work remotely full time, which has given us the ability to pet-sit for friends and family locally and even in different states! When I lived in NYC I walked up to six dogs at a time for about a year. We have a fenced yard for playtime, a sidewalk and dog park for walks and playtime. There is no food or trash to accidentally get into as everything is made to be pet safe.
“Olivia was amazing. She was on time and communication was always great and easy. It was my first time utilizing Rover and I’ll definitely use it again! Olivia, you have a new friend, Luna. ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I love working with animals. I care for all their nutrition needs and I love on them as they want. My work schedule is pretty flexible, I have more availability during the day, but mind stopping later at night if that means I can care for them! Weekends will vary, but I’m happy to help if you reach out earlier in the week and I’ll be more likely to be available! I prefer to meet animals before my first visit especially dogs. I am available to feed and clean up and change litter boxes as needed! I am happy to play with them and I’m available to stay longer per a visit by case to case discussion!

About: I love dogs! I have over 15 years of experiece taking care of a personal dog, and plenty of experience being around close friends & family members’ dogs, including puppies and senior dogs. I had a small dog throughout her lifespan, and developed experience with her taking care of an older & sick dog. I’m available for visits or walks during the week to help your 4 legged family member get some added fun time. I prefer to work with dogs who are okay around children, as I would occasionally have to bring my 2 year old (who knows doggy etiquette) with me in a stroller. I am an RN who stays at home to take care of my child, but we love dogs and would like to spend some time with yours.
About: Since I was 13, I've connected with animals and their humans so they can both live their best life. From potty training to senior care. If you would be in need of a care partner for your furry friend I am available Monday-Friday 7am-8pm. See more detailed booking information below. I've had experience sitting in my own home and other's homes. I am able to follow the client's instructions and I'm a quick, active learner.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my calm, attentive approach and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners, so animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement such as crate training, leash manners, potty routines, and positive-reinforcement commands. I’m patient and consistent, which helps young dogs learn good habits without stress. I also provide thoughtful senior pet care, including administering oral medications, following special diets, assisting with mobility, and closely monitoring behavior or health changes. I understand that older pets need extra patience, gentleness, and reassurance. In addition, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is to care for your pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits seamlessly into my full-time routine, allowing me to provide reliable, consistent, and flexible care throughout the day. I structure my schedule around pet care responsibilities, so I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as extended stays when needed. Because I do this full time, I’m able to accommodate regular feeding schedules, medication timing, playtime, walks, and check-ins without rushing. I can also adjust my availability for pets who need extra attention, such as puppies, seniors, or cats requiring medications or monitoring. My full-time commitment means your pet is a priority—not something I’m squeezing in before or after another job. This allows me to be dependable, responsive, and fully present, ensuring your pet receives consistent, high-quality care every day. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the center of how I care for pets. I follow each pet’s routine closely to reduce stress and help them feel secure, especially in their familiar environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, medications, litter box or potty routines, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep food and hazardous items out of reach, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I’m attentive to behavior changes and health concerns and will communicate immediately if anything seems off. I build trust by moving at the pet’s pace, using positive reinforcement, and providing gentle, consistent care—especially for shy, anxious, senior, or medically sensitive pets. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners always know how their pet is doing. Overall, my goal is to create a safe, low-stress, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, protected, and cared for as if they were my own.

I only sit 1-2 dogs ( from 1-2 clients) on a same time and please meet and greet before you book. My house has a big fence yard so they can run and play with me on yard.

About: I am a Certified Canine Specialist. I have been caring for pets since I was 4 years old. During my teenage years, I was caring for 35 animals daily. I have a lot of experience with all sorts of pets, especially dogs. I do have a fenced in yard and I do have a fenced in patio along with a large yard. I'm all around great with animals. I can groom, trim nails, give medication, bathe, and even work on training on things such as leash walking if you would like that.

About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my lifetime. They were potty trained when they were puppies. One of them was trained to go to the diaper, but then they were both trained to ask to go potty outside by standing by the door and bark. They were spoiled with love, food, and a bunch of fun. If they needed medication, we would administer it to them. When one of my dogs became old and couldn’t jump onto or from the bed, we got him a small stair so he could get onto his favorite spot on the bed. Sometimes he would ask to potty in the middle of the night and I would get up to take him out in the back yard so he could relieve himself. I currently work full time but my wife currently stays home all day. Your pet would be taken care of in the morning before heading to work and then my wife would take care of your pet during the rest of the day. Then I could take care of them in the afternoon. We can do boarding all week long. I have a fenced back yard where your pet can run around. There are no plants that are harmful to them. I have two cats that can keep your pet company. I can easily crate your dog if required or requested.

About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 3 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 1 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together. I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.
