About: I currently have 2 beautiful cat babies and ensure that all their eating and playing needs are met. I have a calm presence and truly enjoy meeting new pets and learning all about their personalities and quirks. I grew up around large and medium sized dogs and have lived with many dogs since. I ensure they eat on schedule, walk multiple times a day, and are bathed. I aided for my elder dog when she was sick as well. I am detail oriented and make sure to follow owner’s directions and leave their house tidy as well. I work at a school and have plenty of free time during summer and winter breaks to hang out with your pets! I have a flexible schedule so as long as there is communication, I can watch them during any time of week. I have a fenced yard and an open concept home. My cat lives here as well but can be separated into another room if they do not get along!

About: Your pup will be in good hands! If you're new to Rover, use my code to save $20! NANCYC19805 My partner Andy and I both have flexible hybrid work schedules l so your pet will have plenty of care and attention throughout the day! We live in a 3 story home with a backyard and long driveway for dog runs. We live 10 minutes from 2 great parks. We both grew up with pets, both cats and dogs. Our rescue pup Coco passed away in Fall 2022 and we miss her very much. We now have Lulu (a sweet 9yo french bulldog) who we rescued from the same organization. Through our foster and Rover experiences, we have cared for many animals with different needs. We have experience with pets with mobility needs, shy/nervous pets, and pets that need medication. Although we have stairs, we are happy to carry your pet up and down the stairs, and we have a ramp to help them up the couch. We currently work from home and can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they need. We typically do 2 longer walks and 2 short walks a day, but let us know what works best for your pup! On the weekends, we like to go to the park nearby or drive to parks in different neighborhoods and walk around. Let us know if there's anything special in taking care of your pet and we'll accommodate. I have a fenced yard to allow for quick breaks for your pet. We allow pets on our couch for cuddles, as long as they behave. Typically, we crate dogs at night, so please bring your dog’s crate for overnight stays. We have stairs leading up to our living room. We are happy to carry your pup up if under 30 lbs.

“Luke has become my go-to dog walker/sitter on Rover. He has always responded quickly, carefully follows instructions to take care of my high-needs dog, and shows great care and patience for my pet. I definitely recommend reaching out to Luke for support. He's been amazing for my sweet pup.”

About: Three years at an SPCA animal shelter taught me to read dogs of every breed, age, and temperament, from anxious rescues to energetic and rambunctious bigger dogs. As the parent of a senior rescue with anxiety and a finicky appetite, I bring hands-on experience with senior care, calming techniques, and patient, attentive handling that puts nervous dogs at ease. I’m currently between roles and actively interviewing for full-time positions, which has opened up a great routine for dog care. I’m reliably available early mornings after 8:30- 10:30, and evenings from 5-7 on weekdays. Weekends are flexible and worked out based on requests as they come in, so I’m happy to accommodate what fits your schedule. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first, whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at my place. I have a private balcony at home for supervised outdoor time, plus a big community playground nearby that’s great for extra space to play, sniff around, and burn off energy. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, from leash handling to knowing when a dog needs a calmer, quieter space instead.

About: I've taken care of my own chihuahuas and cats when my parents have gone on trips, I have had an experience of house sitting for my mom's friends dog. Living with animals has also taught me how to provide proper care. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is currently very flexible. But I hope to get a job in the future which would slightly change my schedule I can accommodate to any type of environment/living situation and make your pets feel safe with me in their home. I hope to give your pets the best experience possible in their own home

“Hui Min did an incredible job of checking in on our two cats while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. She came over a few days before to see where all the cat supplies are stored and to meet our cats. She has a very calm and grounded energy, which definitely helped our cats feel safe with her. She was great at communicating and sent us multiple pictures during her visit. She played with our you get cat and even got our grumpy/skittish cat to come out of her hiding place. I highly recommend Hui Min to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”

“Samantha was wonderful with my pets. My cats require a few extra steps since they do not get along very well, but she followed my instructions perfectly without any issues. She was very communicative, arrived when she said she would, and most importantly, I came home to two happy cats. I would absolutely recommend Samantha, and she will be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter.”

Brian S.

“Michelle did drop in visits for my two cats. They enjoyed having her and she did a good job interacting with them when they wanted it and giving them space if they weren't up for it. She was communicative and capable. I'm planning to book her again for me next trip!”

About: While I’m new to dog sitting, I bring a lot of patience, a love for animals, and a strong willingness to learn. I’m dependable and will follow your care instructions closely. I may not have years of experience, but I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work at a school, so I’m available on weekends for pet walks, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. With summer approaching, my schedule will be much more open. Please feel free to refer to my calendar, as I do my best to keep it up to date. I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care by following your pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I have over a year of experience caring for pets and offer pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care. During drop-ins and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, activity, and care they need. For pet sitting, I provide a calm, safe environment in your home while being respectful of your space. I care for every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine love, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

“Arillia communicated clearly and promptly, arrived on time to drop-in visits, and provided photos while we were away. We were able to relax and know that our kitties were well taken care of in our absence. We will definitely reach out to Arillia in the future!”

“Carmen did a great job taking of care of my cat when I was away for a weekend. From the start, she was quick to respond to my messages and a clear communicator. She inquired about all the details of my cat’s care. As a plus, she gave me updates when she was checking in and even sent me some stellar portrait mode photos of my cat ?”

About: I grew up around dogs and currently work part-time at a dog grooming spa, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through grooming work, I’ve learned how important patience, gentle handling, cleanliness, and reading a dog’s body language can be. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and personality. Some dogs need calm reassurance, some need more exercise, and some simply need a quiet, reliable person to keep them company. I do my best to provide safe, attentive care that matches each pet’s needs while helping them feel comfortable and loved. I also have experience caring for senior pets, pets with special routines, and pets who may need oral medication, basic coat care, or extra patience. Also, I certified in Cat and Dog First Aid by the American Red Cross. Experienced in pet handling, grooming support, and daily pet care. I am currently a student and work part-time at a dog grooming spa, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I am available for weekday and weekend care, and for weekday daycare, drop-off at my workplace may be available by arrangement. My schedule can vary, so I always confirm details in advance to make sure your pet gets safe, reliable care. I live in a single-family home with a fenced yard, and there is a nearby park with walking trails and a dog play area about a 5 minute walk away. Safety is always my priority, so I follow each pet’s routine carefully, keep dogs supervised, and use a leash for walks unless we have discussed otherwise. I also ask about food allergies, medical needs, triggers, and comfort around other pets before care begins.

“Quincy was great! Responds fast, kind and trustworthy person, and my cat loved him. Would recommend.”

About: I have grown up loving and caring for my own dogs, old and young. Now that I have started dog sitting I love to get to know new animals and each of their personal personalities! I am I college but currently on summer break. I am working part time so I have more availability on weekdays but some on weekends I have a fenced yard with lots of sunlight where dogs can lay out and use the bathroom. I also have a huge park nearby with a dog pond to let dogs have fun. I also have 2 very sweet small fur babies!
