“Carrie was absolutely wonderful! My dog is shy and she did well with making her feel comfortable. Carrie would send multiple pictures and gave her lots of love! She also realized we would be getting home late and she left a light on for my dog as well as us! How thoughtful!”

About: I have owned and taken care of cats and dogs my whole life so I am very comfortable meeting different animals’ complex needs. I am also a teacher on summer break, so my current schedule is incredibly open and flexible. My weekly availability is Monday-Sunday whenever I am needed! I have my own pets at home so aside from taking care of their needs, my schedule is very open! I have done a great amount of house sitting along with watching pets so I am happy to meet any requirements for taking care of your space when I am occupying it!

About: Experienced and loving pet caregiver with a passion for making animals feel safe, happy, and at home. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like family. I am currently in grad school and would love to spend time with your pets on my study breaks! I enjoy walks and spending time outside so having a furry friend would be the best! I provide attentive, personalized care by following each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. Whether in my home or a client’s, I create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel loved and at ease.

About: I have had pets my whole life, and absolutely love interacting with them. My skills vary from patience with younger pets, to helping the seniors stand and move. I am currently in between jobs so I have lots of free time to check in on furry friends. I am available starting 7am - 12pm. I am very good at following instructions and keeping pets safe. I try not to leave animals alone for long, and make sure they feel comfortable. That being said I have had to deal with dog fights, and know how to properly end them.

“Kristin has been absolutely amazing with my dog Zoey! She has been so patient and gentle with my stubborn girl, and even went above and beyond once her walk was over. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my girl! Will def recommend and will be using again!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own beloved pets—a dog and two cats. I understand that every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to meet both your needs as pet parents and your fur babies’ specific preferences. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or regular check-ins, I’m here to provide loving, personalized care. I pride myself on being timely, reliable, and communicative, with thorough updates to keep you informed and at ease. Rest assured, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own! I’m just starting on Rover as I was previously working full-time but have extensive experience petsitting for friends and neighbors! I’m a physical therapist working PRN to be at home with my one year old son. I’m a huge animal lover to looking to fill some extra time tending to your fur babies! I can be available when needed. Our pets are treated like family. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and tuned into each pet’s unique needs. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member!

About: I currently work professionally as a receptionist and lead kennel technician at a busy boarding and grooming facility. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and individual needs. My daily work includes feeding, walking, safely handling dogs, cleaning and sanitizing kennels, monitoring behavior and overall well-being, and communicating with pet parents. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, anxious or shy dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets who need a little extra patience. I also have experience administering oral and topical medications, as well as certain owner-provided injections when clear written instructions are provided. I understand how important accuracy and consistency are when caring for pets with medication schedules or special routines. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to provide detailed updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is being well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a major part of my everyday life through my professional work in a kennel environment. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care around my regular work schedule, and I keep my Rover calendar updated so clients can see my current availability. When I accept a booking, I make sure I have enough time to follow the pet’s normal routine without rushing. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication times, and any comfort routines your pet is accustomed to. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and do my best to maintain the pet’s normal schedule and environment. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration, basic cleanup, and plenty of attention. I monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, mobility, or general comfort and will communicate promptly if I notice anything concerning. I also provide photo updates and a clear summary of each visit.

About: Hi there! I love all types of animals, big and small, which is why I love to do this for work. I have experience in administering shots and pills to stubborn babies, such as my elderly soul dog who was diabetic. I have trained 2 german shepard since they were puppies, so trust that I can handle a high energy, snappy puppy. I have experience with caring for disabled dogs and am willing to put in whatever work I need to do to make them feel that they can still have just as much fun! I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs! I’m currently working part-time and I am in college. I have time to care for animals in the afternoon most days and early in the morning. On the weekends I have much more time to take care of your little ones! I think that the key to keeping any animal safe is being able to read their body language. This is something that I pay attention to and notice the smallest hint of stress. Doing this enables me to communicate with animals because they are always trying to tell you something. I try to only walk animals when the concrete is cool enough for their little paws. I have had to break up many a dog fight and the best way that I have found so far is to clap to distract them then separate as soon as possible. I keep charcoal on me just in case any animal eats something that they are not allowed to because this does happen more often when their parents are away. I am always keeping animals safety in mind when I am caring for them and treat them like my own little babies.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs of my own, and they’ve taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the different personalities pets can have. What sets me apart is the level of attention and love I give—I truly treat every pet like my own. I’m known for being reliable, caring, and flexible, and many neighbors and friends trust me with their pets because they know I go above and beyond. Whether it’s following a detailed routine, giving extra cuddles, or helping pets feel comfortable in a new environment, I always make sure they feel safe and happy. I am a college student at Arizona State University and I am home for a few weeks. I don’t currently have a job, so I am very flexible and willing to help out wherever is needed. I treat every pet like part of my family! In my home or yours, I keep their routine the same—meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I’m always happy to send lots of updates and photos so you know they’re doing great.

“Lilyanna took great care of my pups on their walk today. Communication was great too. 5 ⭐️ would use again”

About: New to Rover but caring for pets and homes locally as if they were my own has been part of my life for years. I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your pets with and I take that to heart. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to the little things that keep pets happy and homes feeling cared for. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including playful puppies and gentle senior pets who may need extra time, medications, or a softer touch. I’m comfortable handling different routines, personalities, and special needs. Beyond pet care, I’m respectful of your home and keep everything tidy so you return to a space that feels just the way you left it—or a little better! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I work remotely from home. That means I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, whether they need extra attention, medication, or just a reassuring presence. Having animals around just makes my days better, so it never feels like a job to me. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I keep pets on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. That means regular meals, walks, playtime, and as many snuggles as they can stand:)

“Isabella and her mom were wonderful in communicating and supporting us and Houston in a last minute bind. Loved having them walk our baby and would absolutely recommend.”

About: With roughly four decades of dedicated dog care experience, I offer more than just walks and boarding; I provide a loving home away from home. Every wagging tail receives personalized attention, snuggles, and the patience they deserve. I believe in clear communication and pay meticulous attention to every need and detail, ensuring your furry friend feels safe and cherished. From light training reinforcement to exciting walks and invigorating hikes, every moment is tailored to your dog's happiness and well-being. Entrust your beloved companion to me, where they'll find a second home filled with love, care, and adventure. I currently work part-time (flexibly) from home, so I am able to consistently attend to your pup's needs and provide play, snuggles, and exercise throughout the week/weekend. I have a fenced yard, and live in a neighborhood that is great for walking (I do daily walks and/or hikes). I am happy to adapt to whatever routine your dog is accustomed to, such as crating, furniture rules, walking or feeding routines, etc. I have a 4 year old, female Aussie/Lab mix who has yet to meet an enemy. She is a happy girl with lots of energy, but does not tend to overwhelm dogs who need their space.

About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and the occasional chicken :) I worked as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic in high school and as a veterinary technician during my undergraduate degree so I have TONS of experience with dogs and cats, both at home and in medical environments. As a veterinary student, I absolutely love animals and want to provide the best care possible! As a vet student, I am mostly available on weekends but the occasional weekday. I am able to pet-sit, go on walks, and host animals at my house (mostly on weekends) I have an outdoor patio area for leash walks and potty breaks. As a veterinary student, I have experience working with all types of animals. I am observant and attentive to their various needs so they stay safe and comfortable!

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and absolutely love being around them! Recently had to put our dog down so looking for a furry friend! I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of free time in my hands and a pretty flexible schedule as well which helps. At my house I have a fenced in yard that is a big size and also willing to go to your house as well. Want the animals to feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was very young. I would house sit for my neighbors until I was old enough to volunteer. I volunteered at an animal shelter where I would bathe, train, and walk dogs. As well as play with the cats as well! I have a dog who I take on two walks a day and play with other pups when we can! I live in an apartment, but I can house a crate as well or block them off if needed. I also have a crate for my dog as well. As of now I am a chiropractor with flexible work hours. I have a dog myself and I always make sure to take him on long walks and get him out and about! I can easily crate your dog as needed! I do not have a yard but I do constantly take them out on leash! I also have a turf area in my apartment and a dog park near by!

About: I worked in dog care and training in a professional capacity for several years and I now use those skills to help others’ dogs stay happy and healthy. I focus on basic obedience and energy management and I adore all pups, big and small. I love to create a structured but warm environment for the the dogs that I have the pleasure of working with. As a pet sitter, I incorporate visiting pups into the active lifestyle that my dog and I already enjoy - expect plenty of walks, hikes and park visits! My goal as a caretaker is to provide a loving, comfortable and engaging environment for all dogs. I currently work full time from home and I am accepting pups for day care drop off, with the possibility to facilitate boarding once your pup is comfortable! I have a large yard with a 5ft fence and a large deck. We keep multiple water bowls filled indoors and outdoors and allow pups to spend time outside if the temperature is comfortable for them. Please let me know if your pup is adept at escaping yards.
