“My wife and I couldn't be happier with Isaiah. He took amazing care of our pets while we were away — frequent updates, lots of playtime, and everything was spotless when we got home, even from the mess our pup always seems to make when we leave town. Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Marissa did fantastic with our leonberger, Great Dane, and catahoula leopard dog! Our Dane suffers from a plethora of health issues making it difficult to get away. My husband and I felt very confident that she would take exceptional care of our Dane. She sent photos throughout the day and exercised the dogs regularly. We came back and she had done a fabulous job of picking up after herself in our home. I plan on using her again.”

About: Weekend boarding, weekday walks and weekday visits are what I have to offer. Cuddling, petting, belly rubs, hiking, whatever your doggie needs I’m happy to supply the love. I love animals and am a vegetarian- that stated, I have no problem feeding doggies raw meals or whatever diet you prefer. I’m very patient and kind. Your dog will have a safe and happy environment here with me. We can do a meet/greet first to make sure we’re a good fit. Thank you. All my best. When I take on a doggie, dog care is my sole focus. I do not take other jobs. I'm all about focusing on dogs when they are in my care. My home is fenced. We have a doggie door. The dogs are welcome on my bed and furniture. Loving on dogs is what I'm all about.

About: I’ve loved and cared for my own pets ever since I was a child well into my adulthood. As a young adult I started pet sitting for friends family family and even new and old acquaintances. I love all fur babies and all fur babies deserve love. I am currently unemployed and in a tight spot with being able to find work. I love caring for pets and thought I’d finally create a profile to get some form of consistent work instead of only caring for my friends and families pets I have my own dog and my roommates dog I currently care for in my own home. I am willing to care for pets in clients home with whatever rules they require me to follow

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’m a big dog lover and I’ve had three of my own at home and miss them dearly. I love to go on long walks or just play and chill. I’m a student but I’m basically free all week besides when I have class! I can also just hang out with your dog while I do homework. I have a front yard and a great space for taking dogs on a walk. I also have a room that fits a crate if that’s preferable!

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was seven years old and have hands-on experience with pets of all ages and needs. Since age ten, I’ve fostered neonatal kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and care. I also have experience house sitting for family friends, often staying over a week at a time to care for their pets, maintain routines, and ensure their homes and animals are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a high school student, and my classes run from 8:30 AM to 2:40 PM on weekdays. Outside of school hours, I’m fully available for pet care, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. I’m able to provide attentive care before and after school and follow pets’ routines closely. Pets are not left alone for long periods during the weekends. On school days, they may be alone during my class hours, but I provide care before and immediately after school. I make sure pets get attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day and evening.

“Jean-Philippe provided great in-house care for our two dogs (senior dog and rambunctious 11 month puppy) and five cats while we were gone for a week. His constant presence in the house clearly kept the pets reassured, and they all were relaxed when we got home, unlike many previous trips where we just pet sitters stopping by. Jean-Philippe left our house very clean and we could hardly tell he'd been there!”

“Karen-Joyce did a wonderful job pet sitting for us on a long weekend trip! She was very detailed in learning about our needs beforehand, and very communicative. It's easy to tell how great she is with dogs. While this was our first time using Karen-Joyce as a sitter, we immediately felt confident after our meet & greet and had no hesitations. She left our house clean and the dogs were happy and well cared for! Definitely recommend :)”

About: After my dog Currito passed away, I realized how much love I still have to give. Caring for other dogs is my way of honoring him and sharing that love. I will treat every dog with patience, affection, and respect, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and truly loved. I am currently working full time but I am available daily after 3:45 pm. I can offer boarding on weekends after Fridays at 3:00 pm. I can take care of your pet at your own home or at my mine ( I live in an appartment) I adapt to your lovely fur friend.

“Kaleigh is fantastic. She is responsible and responsive and I’m so thankful she was able to watch our dog in our home. This was our first time ever leaving our dog with someone we didn’t know and the first time having someone stay at our house. Frank (our dog) had a great weekend in her care and we came home to everything in perfect order.”

Some random household things occurred as well when I was gone, and she sent pictures and took care of things. Overall a great communicator, always responsive and a true animal lover. I will book her again for sure!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 35 years, and I just love it! I have to travel for work which means I can’t have my own right now, so looking after others is a true joy. I naturally treat every animal as if they were my own — and making sure they feel secure, loved, and happy while their parents are away. With every sit, I bring both reliability and heart. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and more — each with their own unique personalities and quirks. I’ve played with energetic puppies who needed training and adventure, given gentle support and patience to sweet seniors, reassured nervous or shy animals with steady routines & space, and comforted sick or elderly pets in their final days. One of the most important lesson I learnt came from my own senior dog, who had arthritis. Beyond medication, what mattered most were the little things. I could see from her body language that her favorite time of day was simply sitting together in the sun while I gently massaged her and talked to her. Those quiet moments made her feel safe and deeply loved — and they taught me how much presence and empathy matter in pet care. I work remotely with flexible hours, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pets — for walks, play, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship so they don’t feel alone. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been sitting through other platforms where I’ve built excellent reviews and references. Having hosted sitters myself, I also understand the trust (and nerves!) that come with leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. That’s why I believe clear communication is key, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos, feedback, and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. My work is remote so I can be anywhere as long as I have wifi. I only work part-time with flexible hours which gives me the space to adapt to your pets needs & also have the time to for plenty of walks, cuddles & play. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure their routines stay consistent so they feel secure — from feeding and walks to playtime and rest. I pay close attention to each animal’s signals, balancing structure with the affection, stimulation, or quiet companionship they need. Safety is always a priority. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure food and medications are given correctly, and keep doors, windows, and gates secure. I maintain a calm, clean environment so pets feel relaxed, and I treat every home with the same respect as my own. I’m a naturally tidy person who cleans as I go, so you’ll return to a home that feels just as you left it. Having hosted sitters myself, I fully understand the trust (and nerves!) that come with leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. That’s why I believe strong communication is key. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and even video calls as often as you’d like — so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
