“Tala was great with the cats, very personable. We have a challenging senior cat which can be tricky but would feel comfortable recommending Tala to take care of anyone’s cats in the home :)”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, fish and frogs since I was a little girl. I worked at a pet hotel and daycare where I would greet, check in, play with and clean up after dogs and cats. I have also helped administer immunizations, microchips, heart dewormer, antibiotics and flea treatments. I also have experience with overnight care of small and large breed dogs. I currently work part time at a restaurant 4-5 days a week and have a lot of downtime. I am looking to fill that with some furry friends. I am cautious of opening doors, keeping them closed and ensuring escapes unlikely. I never take pets outside without proper supplies such as leash and harness, bags, their shoes and or other materials they may require.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12 years old. I have a great reputation and known for being very caring and friendly towards pets. I’m a dog and cat bather too so I can also bath your pet! I currently work part time so I have plenty of spare time to care for your pets. I work in the mornings so I have the afternoons free for your pets. I will make sure your pet is safe indoors or outdoors. I will cradle your pet if needed to keep them safe from any visitors you might be having in your home or the mailman.
About: My name is Ashlyn. I have been around pets my entire life and I finally have one of my own. Her name is Charlie. She is a Bassett hound and is 3 years old. I have always loved animals. They show unconditional love and are amazing. I currently work full time, but I am available on weekdays, after 5pm and my weekends are usually open. I will do my best to make myself available. The way I care for my own pet in my home is giving her plenty of time to play outside. I also take her on walks.
“Elise was INCREDIBLE! We got married this weekend and were nervous to leave our cats but she exceeded all expectations. She left very detailed reports and provided amazing photos that assured us our cats were well taken care of. We can home to happy kitties! Can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I've had both dogs and cats all my life, previously had an Australian cattle dog and currently have a Corgi and a standard issue cat. Looking to interact with more pets and help busy pet owners. Willing to work around my schedule and help with walks and other care needs. I am comfortable with waking up early for those early morning walks and have flexibility during the day. I've gone through Positive reinforcement dog training so I have a strong understanding of the proper care methods and am very attentive towards the needs of both dogs and cats
About: As a mom of four and an empty nester, caring for others comes naturally to me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and am completely comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I currently spend my time caring for seniors, so patience and attentiveness are second nature. I speak both English and Spanish and treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I spend Monday through Wednesday at a senior home but have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available for pet care the rest of the week (and Monday-Wednesday, as needed) and can adjust as needed for your pet's routine. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and am very comfortable caring for dogs in smaller spaces. I make sure pets get plenty of walks, attention, and love.

“Ashley was amazing to my three cats! She really went above what was expected of her to take care of them and they all seemed to really like her. Ashley was also very communicative and timely which I appreciate. I will definitely be booking with Ashley for all my trips coming up!”

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have 2 cats. One of my cats is a senior (almost 20 years old) so I do have experience caring for a senior pet. I love animals and will treat yours as my own! I would prefer dogs who are kid friendly. About this sitter: My name is Tessa and I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3. I love animals and have 2 cats myself! I would love to make your dog a part of our family for the day or longer! I drop my 3 kids off at school Monday-Friday and I am done with that around 8:30am. I pick up my youngest at 1:40 and my middle child at 3pm. So I will have about 4 hours each day until pick up my youngest. I am still working out the details on if I want to work Monday-Friday or maybe 3 days during the week and a little on the weekends. Our weekends are pretty open but I do have 2 kids in sports, currently. So I will have to schedule around that. I am willing to accommodate you as best I can as my schedule is pretty open! I have a fenced in patio and plenty of walking space throughout neighborhood. Your dogs will feel safe and right at home! I will also make sure that your dogs are safe and cared your dog is in my home!
“Nikki was great with our two dogs! She is super sweet, communicative, sent tons of photos, and my girls seemed to love her! She is also very thorough with care instructions and keeping up daily routines. Would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I have always had pets, but I like to travel! Which means it’s best that at this stage in life I don’t have pets of my own. But I have a lot of love to give! Therefore I fulfill that void by providing care to everyone else lovely fur babies! I have experience in care from rodents to senior dogs. I also have experience working at a dog day where I worked with and provided exercise dogs of all sizes. This taught me the skills to safely handle and stimulate dogs on a daily basis. Your fur babies needs are of the utmost importance. I believe in an open channel of communication. Whatever the needs are I can fulfil.I can provide picture updates and check-ins of your pup. Whatever you need! I work a 5 day work week, however my schedule is very flexible. In addition, I work short restaurant evening shifts ~3x a week. However, all these locations are close by eachother and I like to be up for a while before work leaving plenty of time for walks and play before, between, and after my shifts. I do not have my own pets, so no concerns for any add ons! In your home I will adhere to your pets typical schedule and ask for permission before any little adventures (I.e., car rides, dog beaches, hikes). I want your little one to feel comfortable and you to feel confident that they are in good hands.
About: I LOVE PETS!! I am a lifetime owner of cats, dogs and reptiles. I have had three dogs of my own for over 20 years, and cats since I was a little child. I still rescue animals from the street and have worked with a cat rescue group for 11 years. Fun fact: I even make friends with the wildlife in my own backyard! I just love ALL animals! I have experience giving pills, medications, supplements, special food and subcutaneous fluids. And I am not afraid of a cat box or a dog poop bag!!! I will work with your puppy or kitten and support your senior dog or cat with loving care. My purpose now is to help other people in need with their pet care. I know how important it is to find reliable trustworthy and ethical care givers to help us when we need to be away. Please allow me the opportunity to be your pet care provider and playmate. TRUST and RELIABILITY are my superpowers! Good luck and stay well. Christina Currently I am available to care for your pets full time. Your pooch will be locked on leash before it's walk, and cleaned up after everywhere we go. I work for myself and have control of my own schedule. I am known as "safety girl". It is my number one priority. I will arrive on time reliably. I will keep your dog at a reliable distance from other dogs and always on leash.
About: I’m very patient and personable and have an intense love for dogs! I am reliable and will do my absolute best to respond promptly and treat your pets with absolute care! I’m a responsible student at Chapman University , making me free to take care and play with your dog(s) regardless of last minute schedules and late night plans.

About: My entire life I’ve been taking care of pets of all walks: young & old, big & small, with varying levels of health and temperament types. I understand the critical details involved with maintaning their unique dietary, social, fitness, and emotional needs. I’ve had the pleasure of obedience training 3 pups into adulthood, nurturing dogs whom have undergone surgery, medication administering, grooming prolific shedders, trust-building with those of traumatic upbringings, bathing the water-phobic, and other niche experience. Every animal is a person to me, and I cherish whatever it is they & their humans require in order to promise the easiest time possible for everyone. I currently work from home under an extremely flexible schedule as a copywriter, and therefore can quite literally be on-call for whenever and however you may require my services, whether short- or long-term in duration. As of now, I am living in a well-kept 1Br1Ba apartment with my boyfriend (another animal whisperer). There is a lenient pet policy at our facility, and overnight stays are possible. Nearby are plentiful neighborhoods and parks that I delight in walking daily. Seeing as I currently have no pets of my own, your loved one(s) will be the center of attention and receive all the focus. I offer treats of my own (my favorite is organic freeze-dried chicken liver bites) with your permission & can provide other items such as toys, feeding bowls, bedding, shampoos/conditioners, brushes, etc. upon request.

About: I've had cats ever since I was little, so I'm familiar with the caretaking like cleaning the litter box, feeding, and playing. I am also familiar with their calm and introverted personalities, and as a patient person, I hope to gain their trust. Although I've never had a dog myself, I've walked and fed my neighbor's dogs. I have a part-time job working with kids with special needs, but other than that, I am mostly open. I work M-F but weekends I have complete availability. Because I live in an apartment, I won't be able to bring pets into my own place, but I am willing to come to my client's home. I will make sure to respect your space and, of course, your pet.
About: Joseph is my best friend & professional colleague. Both of us grew up with family dogs and Joseph’s family has always had cats around the house. We are dedicated animal lovers, with years of experience in dog walking, playing, and general loving care for friends and family’s pets. We both live in Joseph’s family home with two cats & two dogs. We both feel strongly that animals need to get sufficient play time in order to feel properly nourished in their lives. We also have experience with senior dogs & dogs with special needs. We have been house and pet sitting across the country on & off for the last 5 years. I am an entrepreneur & work from home. My schedule is flexible & I can almost always adapt to your scheduling needs. Joseph’s schedule is more fixed & so his availability is less than mine. I will always be the main sitter & Joseph will offer support when he’s available. Joseph and I have been on Trusted Housesitters for over 4 years with excellent reviews and experiences. We have also house and pet sit for many friends and family. Given our large resume of experience, we figured it was time to start on Rover to get paid for the excellent care that we offer. While staying in your home, we will treat your home like our own. Keeping all spaces clean and tidy for you to come back to. If you have any boundaries in your home please let us know, so we can be sure to respect all house rules. We are comfortable sleeping with animals on the beds or off. We would love to explore your area and take any pups who need exercise on some beautiful hikes and adventures!

I currently work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can't board any pets, but I can generally petsit with some notice! I've cared for pets in multiple client's home. Some are crated and others are allowed to roam freely, this all just depends on what you prefer.
About: With seven years of experience dog walking and family friend pet sitting, I provide loving, reliable care for your furry friends.

I have a fenced backyard and access to a nearby park with designated short or long trails designated for pets or puppies of all kinds.
Fairhaven pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shihua has been such a blessing while I had been out of town this week. She was very flexible, kind, and detail-oriented. She's also very responsive to all of my last-min requests throughout the week. My cat isn't very much a people-cat and usually took time to warm to new humans, but she took on to Shihua within two or three days. Highly recommending Shihua to anyone who wants someone attentive and sweet to take care of their fur baby!

Elise was INCREDIBLE! We got married this weekend and were nervous to leave our cats but she exceeded all expectations. She left very detailed reports and provided amazing photos that assured us our cats were well taken care of. We can home to happy kitties! Can’t recommend her enough.

I had Anna watch my golden doodle, Bane, for the past two days, and she was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure Bane was happy, well-fed, and got plenty of playtime and exercise. I truly appreciated her dedication and the extra time she spent with him. overall, it was a five-star experience, and I would highly recommend her!

Chloe was an amazing pet sitter! This was the first time leaving our babies for more than a long weekend, but Chloe made sure to give us updates and pictures every day to help us relax during our trip! She was super responsive and was even able to meet our two cats before our trip to make sure they didn’t get scared while we were away! Will definitely reach out to her again for our next vacation!

I am so grateful to have found Caroline! She was AMAZING with my 4 year old rescue, border collie mix. My pup is hesitant with strangers and can be reactive but she and Caroline connected right away. After a few trial walks Caroline was freely coming into my apartment and taking Sage on walks. I highly recommend Caroline for anyone with a dog who needs some warming up to.
