About: Ever since I was a little girl I have cared for my three dogs. They’re beyond a human’s best friend, they’re our companions! I have a genuine love and passion for our four legged friends and I cannot wait to love and care for your puppies like I love and care for mine! I would like to say I am very attentive to a dog’s needs whether they need a run or a ball thrown, even a good scratch! I’d also say I have a way of gaging if they’re tired and need to head back from a walk. Since I have grown up around dogs, I believe I have ample experience of playing, feeding, cuddling, walking and running with these buddies. I’m a crazy dog lover that would love to help out anyone with a doggie!!

“Piper walked our dog this week as one of us was out of town and the other slammed at work. Piper was perfect! Punctual, super communicative, and our dog loved her! (and even one of our cats did too, though she was only over to walk the dog!). Highly recommend!”

“Eli did a fantastic job with my dog, Spot! Eli showed up on time, paid close attention to details about caring for Spot, appeared genuinely interested in Spot’s personality and needs, was kind and caring while demonstrating an ability to manage Spot with safety in mind. I will definitely rebook with Eli!”

About: I've always loved animals since I was a kid, and I'd really enjoy spending time getting to know and taking care of your pets. It's something I genuinely enjoy doing. I usually work in the mornings, so I can take care of your pets in the afternoons or on weekends. Let me know what works best for you! This is my first time using a sitting app, but I own two cats and have taken care of many kittens. I'd love to hear your input on how I can become a better sitter for you. Your pets' well-being is my top priority, and I'm committed to providing the best care.

“Jacob walked our dog, Bruno while we were out of town for 4 days. He was punctual and his communication was extremely appreciated. This was the first time having someone else walk our dog and my wife and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his very capable hands. He took Bruno on different walks each day and sent us pictures of his adventures! We would be thrilled to have Jacob take care or walk Bruno in the future. Thanks for taking such good care of our boy, Jacob!”

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.

About: With over 15 years of active pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring compassion, playful attentiveness, and calm confidence to every home I visit. In 2024, I spent four months road-tripping across the U.S., housesitting along the way and caring for 7 cats and 14 dogs in 10 households—ranging widely in breed, age, temperament, and needs. This experience left me especially comfortable quickly building trusting relationships with new animals and adapting to their individual personalities. I have extensive experience with medically complex pets, including administering pills and liquid medications, giving injections, and providing wound care. I understand the importance of consistent routines, detailed observation, and gentle handling when working with animals who require special attention. Whether caring for playful puppies, senior cats, or anything in between, I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work four days a week, Thurs-Sun in the afternoon and evening. On work days, I am available in the morning and late-evening. Mon-Wed I have full availability for all types of care. I prioritize safety and active stimulation for my own pets and those I care for. In addition to maintaining feeding schedules and security, I make sure those animals in my care receive exercise and mental stimulation, depending on their needs.

“Patricia is wonderful. Gives great updates and gives real good quality time to you. Will definitely use again.”

About: Hi, I love all pets! I provide the utmost care for your pet in my home or yours. I know how difficult it can be to make plans to leave your fur babies as I have one of my own. When I travel, my plans always involve finding a great person/place to leave my dog. I usually can't relax on a trip unless I know for certain my pets are well taken care off, in other words, taken care of, like I would take care of them. My dog is a rescue that I adopted from a shelter and she has very specific needs, like only going potty on a leash because she is blind. Despite the extra stuff I have to do for her, I wouldn't trade her for the world! She is fantastic with other dogs, cats, and birds, as she has been around all and gets on well with all of the above. I am excited that there is now a service like this where I can leave my dog with a trusted person and offer the same in return. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! -Cyndy I work from home so I’m home all day with my own doggo. We love to have other dogs around. My dog is laid back and not overly social with other dogs so it’s nice to have other dogs around. I have a fenced back yard. My dog is also crate trained. Our neighborhood has sidewalks and we take frequent walks, although she prefers to be carried in her dog backpack.

“Katelyn is great with our fur child Quigley! She is dependable and has excellent communication! Quigley can be hesitant to go on walks and she has been patient and so helpful with him! 🐾 We love having her as a dog walker!”

“Tori was very confident with Zara, who cooperated with Tori immediately. Tori arrives on time, knows the neighborhood walking areas well, and is flexible when possible.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a young girl. I’m an active person looking to add another high energy dog to my beach walks and backyard romps with my Irish Setter. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages and don’t mind giving baths, distributing medication or work on training. I’m currently a stay at home mom, every morning I take my dog to swim and run on the beach, or play catch in the backyard. My schedule is fairly flexible while my children are in school and of course they also adore animals and love to play and cuddle dogs of all shapes and sizes. My Irish Setter Deja, is submissive but high energy and would love a playmate to help tire her out. I have quiet spaces in my house to rest with two available dog crates or baskets with beds. Outside we have a doggie splash pad and over a half an acre of open, grassy area to run and play. Our yard is equipped with an in ground electric fence and we have an extra collar that other dogs have adjusted to very quickly. We exercise rain or shine and paws are rinsed after being out in the yard and entire body shampooed and rinsed if we take a trip to the beach. I’m prepared to offer overnight and extended stays, our car has a safety dog gate for safe transportation. Please reach out to me if you have any questions and feel free to stop by and take a look at the property!

About: I grew up with a dog, rescued a 12-year old senior with lots of medical needs, foster as often as I can (the weeks-old litters are especially fun!), and have had both small and large dogs. I have experience taking care of young puppies to sweet seniors. My husband and I have 3 seniors (12+) who are all rescues. If you are considering me for a service at our home, please know that your pet will need to get along with them. I look forward to a meet and greet so that our pets can get acquainted. For longer stays, I have a questionnaire that covers lots of details, so I'll be sure to share that with you to cover a lot of questions. Thanks for considering me and I hope to meet you soon! ======= First time considering Rover? Use my discount code for $20 off: NORAK01278 I have an open and flexible schedule and can accommodate to your pet’s typical day. Generally speaking, morning and evening walks, with a longer mid-day run or play. Potty-trained and friendly dogs are welcome to slumber party over here with our 3 seniors (20-25 lbs). If yours is better as a solo dog, let me know your needs and maybe we can find a solution.

“Marlene has been very consistent and flexible. I was hesitant to have someone walk my dog. But I can see how my dog gets super excited when, he sees her. She is now walking Iman on a weekly basis. And that gives me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her 💯.”
