About: I’ve had pets my whole life, they’ve always held a special place in my heart. From dogs and cats to horses and more, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply enjoys calm company, I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own fur babies! As a licensed esthetician, I create my own schedule & have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine, making scheduling stress free for both of us. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful of your home, and to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. Pet care has always been a natural part of my day to day routine because I’ve grown up around animals & have cared for pets for majority of my life. I work part time as an esthetician, meaning I can create my own schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, visits, & overnight stays! The pet’s safety, comfort, & routine would be my highest priorities. I like to take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, etc so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience being around cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal has different comfort zones and boundaries. Whether your pet is shy, playful, independent, or needs extra patience, I always respect their pace. I’ll l keep your home clean, follow your instructions carefully, & provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family members are doing.🐾
About: Friends have relied on me to care for multiple dogs at once over the years and I think I might be a dog whisperer ;) I currently work full time but am available all day on Mondays, evenings and weekends for walks or boarding and truly enjoy getting outside and spending time with dogs. I love to walk/run so am happy to take dogs for long walks and live in a very secure building in a safe neighborhood so do not worry about your pet's safety.
“Malcomn took such great care of my cat, Kashi. He was very communicative and sent updates and photos everyday which I thoroughly appreciated. Kashi and I are so grateful for Malcomn’s service!”

About: Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, proper training, and unconditional love. My parents treated our dogs like family and always made sure they received the attention, exercise, training, and medical care they needed. Because of this, I’ve learned how to recognize different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I’m attentive with energetic puppies, patient with dogs who need extra guidance, and gentle with senior dogs who may require a slower pace or additional care. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care! I currently work remotely from home with a very flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! My availability ranges from 6am-6pm Monday-Friday. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, providing dependable care in your neighborhood and home. Before each visit, I’ll learn about your dog’s routine, personality, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. During walks, I always use secure handling, stay aware of our surroundings, and adjust the pace to your dog’s needs. During drop-ins, I can provide bathroom breaks, meals, fresh water, playtime, exercise and companionship. I’ll treat your home with respect, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for. I hope to add dog-sitting services to my offerings in the future.
About: I will give your fur babies all the love and attention! Very trusting and approachable. Also make them comfortable and safe at all times of every visit. I’m in school from 10am-5pm. No after school activities and would love to spend my free time after school, with your loving and caring dogs. My yard is fenced and I have a loving and playful, French Bulldog, that gets along with every dog who’s just as playful and energetic as him.

About: I absolutely love animals, which is why I’ve been taking care of family, friend, and neighborhood pets since I was 12 (my family has also always had cats!). I am reliable and have been trusted to consistently and properly tend to pets, whether it’s walking, feeding, overnight and in-house care, or anything in between. I have experience with elderly animals, as well as puppies and kittens. I am more than happy to provide updates about your pet during their care, and will always reach out with concerns or questions should they come up to ensure they’re being taken care of in the way that’s best for them. I truly care about animals, and enjoy spending time with them maybe just as much as they enjoy having a pal. I’m excited to get to know new pets and keep them taken care of, safe, entertained, and happy! I’m currently already doing pet care part-time, and am excited to make time for even more furry faces! I am able to take care of pets that need early morning check-ins, as well as pets that need a companion overnight. I always make sure animals have the water, food, and essentials they need, and do what I can to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am just as happy as them to be hanging out and will make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and are okay before bed if it is an overnight stay.

“Isabella was wonderful with my dog while I was gone for the weekend! He's older and picky and needs a little extra care...she was great with drop in visits, giving him extra attention, and making sure he got enough exercise while I was away. Very kind and reliable, will definitely book with Isabella again!”
About: I've been a dog owner since I was 9 years old, so I know how important these furry guys are to their person! I've also volunteered at shelter's and have worked at a pet store giving customers the best advice to my ability and helping them. Be it dog/cat food, toys, collars, pet care, and much more! I will pay attention to your furry one and make them feel loved from the short time that they are away from you and give them the best experience that I can! I'm currently in school studying to become a Veterinarian! My Shih-Tzu Chuey made my life full of good memories and I want to make sure that every dog I can help is helped and lives a life full of love.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including overnight and extended stays in clients’ homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic medications, and following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also a nursing student, so I’m dependable, organized, attentive to details, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and home, so I make communication a priority and am happy to send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. I have pets of my own and understand that every animal has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have flexibility outside of my nursing classes and clinicals. I’m able to plan walks, drop-ins, feeding times, and overnight stays around each pet’s normal routine, and I’m especially available in the evenings and on weekends. When I commit to a booking, I make sure I have enough time to give your pet consistent attention rather than trying to squeeze visits in. I’m also happy to work around specific feeding, medication, or exercise schedules when needed. I currently have online classes Monday and Tuesday mornings, which can be done from home. I have in-person classes Wednesday and Thursday from 10-4 and Friday 7am-1pm. Weekends for me are open! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food are always handled securely. I’m very respectful of both the pet and the home, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy while the owner is away. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Abby came in and did some drop in visits with my dog, while I had a long work day. She took him for a walk, feed him, and kept him company. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and really treated my dog like as if he was her own! I would definitely hire again, and so should you!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes for over 10 years, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I regularly pet sit and dog walk, and I’ve personally trained my own dogs, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and safe, attentive care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, especially right now. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, check-ins, and last-minute needs. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to give pets consistent attention, plenty of exercise, and reliable care throughout the day and week. I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or a client’s. I’m very attentive to safety and routines, especially with dogs who may try to escape. Since I’ve owned an escape-artist dog myself, I double- and triple-check doors, gates, leashes, and fences at all times. I follow each pet’s normal schedule, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Low rate as I acquire clients. I recently came back to this app. Therapist by trade and a pet lover in general :) I have three pets and one of them is a two year old mini Aussie. I regularly support a neighbor with their 11 year old pup and would like the opportunity to support your family in: * Teeth brushing * Crate Training * Baths & Grooming, at your request. * Walks around or in your neighborhood. * Administering medication. * Basic clicker training: I can support you and your pet(s) in reinforcing, sit, wait, spin, drop, high five, recall. * Exposure training for the anxious pups * All the cuddles, playing, and mental stimulation with safety in mind. Right now my availability is flexible after 10am and before 3:30pm. Late evening are open as well for walks. Message me, maybe we can figure something out! I will treat your pet as you do. I’m interested in what their day to day schedule looks like, their likes and dislikes, favorite toys, and how to best earn their trust.
About: My name is Daniella. I am 24 years old and working with animals is what my life is about. All my life I have had my own pets and I have also worked at an animal hospital for the past 8 years! I am a college graduate with a degree in Biology and I’m here to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe! I have lots of experience with animals and I love any kind. You have a cat? No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz
“Tamara dropped in to check on our dog while we were out of town for a week. She came to our home twice a day and sometimes 3 to check on our dog. She was amazing and we felt our pet was well cared for while we were gone. Tamara sent us pictures and videos at every visit. We could tell how much she cared for our dog. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to hire her again.”

I have a fenced yard to allow for safe potty breaks and exercise. I can easily crate a pet if desired or keep in a separate quiet room.
“Zulema has walked out dogs in the past and taken care of our kitties while we were out of town and is always so incredibly helpful and kind. She goes the extra mile every single time, and the pups and kitties respond very well to her! I couldn’t recommend her enough <3”
“Angelina did a fantastic job looking after out ancient and fragile whippet. She looked after his special needs perfectly. When our schedule changed unexpectedly she accommodated the changes easily. I will definitely have Angelina look after him again when I need someone.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Park
Lilian did an amazing job taking care of my dog. She followed all of my instructions carefully and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. At one point, my dog was feeling sad and wouldn’t eat on her own, so Lilian even hand-fed her to make sure she got something to eat. She also sent me photos and kept me updated throughout the entire time. Communication with her was excellent, and I always felt reassured knowing my dog was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and kindness she showed my dog. I would definitely recommend Lilian!
