“Steven was such a pleasure to meet and was extremely accommodating to a complicated drop in situation. He communicated extremely well and was really easy to work with. He even came up with ideas that made leaving our cat and dog even easier. He provided detailed notes with funny commentary, which I appreciated. He treated our pets as if they were his own and we can’t wait to work with him again! Highly recommend giving Steven a try.”

“Paola was great with my dogs. She was on time. Communicated well. This was very last minute and she was very accommodating. My dogs are worn out and sleeping great tonight. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again.”

“We highly recommend Krystin. She went above and beyond when it came to taking care of our dog, even getting her a little goody. She was very flexible with our schedule and her communication throughout the week she took care of our dog let us relax throughout our vacation. Will be using her services in the future for sure.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 13 or 14, starting with my family dog & my neighbors’ pets when they needed an extra hand. Since then, I’ve looked after labs, husky mixes, frenchies, schnoodles, and just about every kind of breed in between. I love getting to know each dog’s personality — whether they’re playful and energetic or calm and easygoing. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I work full-time during the week (9–5), so I’m available for pet care on weekday evenings and weekends. I spend my free time with animals whenever I can — whether it’s taking dogs for evening walks, dropping in for dinner-time visits, or providing weekend care when you’re away. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays at your home. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets, so I always treat them like my own — with patience, care, and attention to their routine. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Ja’Lynn was the best! She took very good care of my boy Kilo. She sent photos every day & he always looked happy in every photo! It was nice knowing he was very well taken care of. Will definitely use Ja’Lynn again!”

“This was my first week having Matthew do daily drop-ins to check on my girls since I am returning to work full-time. Communication from Matthew is top notch, I got amazing photos and videos, and I knew my girls loved their time with him. I was such a comfort knowing they were in good hands. Matthew was also kind enough to make a couple minor adjustments to their routine that I threw at him mid-week. I’m very grateful to know Matthew will be spending time with my girls when I’m in the office!”

“Jessica gives excellent service. She is committed, respectful, flexible with her schedule if possible, and tends to one’s needs. Most importantly, she loves pets and that really made me feel good while I was gone. I’ll definitely book her again if she’s available. I recommend her to anyone in this area looking for some help with their pets :)”

“Jessica did a fantastic job looking after my 2 cats. She made a real effort to engage with them and I could tell they really enjoyed spending time with her. She also followed my instructions perfectly. Thanks so much!! :)”

About: I absolutely adore every single animal I have had the pleasure of watching! From training puppies to carrying seniors down stairs, cuddling with love bugs to providing a safe space for anxious doggies, lazing around with couch potatoes to going on runs with pups who have endless energy. I have seen it all, and I love it all. I want your friend(s) to feel happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away; I will do anything and everything to help them feel that way! Experience: I have had 3 amazing years on Rover! I don't plan to stop anytime soon, so you can be sure that I'm available whenever you need me. With my level of experience, I know what to expect, and more importantly, how to react. My time in the military has given me the skills I need to handle tasks under pressure. IF anything were to go wrong, you can trust that I will responsibly act in you and your pets' best interest. I have cared for over 35 families' and I have and will always provide dedicated and detailed service. I respect your home, your rules, and of course, your animals. Rover is my full-time job, so thankfully I am completely available to be friendly company for your furry (or maybe hairless) friends! I only ever leave the house 1-3 hours at a time for meals or errands. If I need to be gone longer, I will always check-in with pet parents, as your pets' needs come first! I am in the Air National Guard, so I have mandatory drill weekends; but I have marked those dates as unavailable on my calendar, so that should not pose a problem. About my rates: my rates are based off the wage I should be paid for my level of expertise - for a full day of work - as I am providing overnight care + staying in the home almost all day. They must also take into account the 20% Rover takes out of my paycheck + the taxes I have to pay on my income. I will fulfill all of your furry friends’ needs and wants! I want to keep your pups' routine the same, so they feel some sense of normalcy while you're gone. If you could please leave instructions on the daily care you would like me to provide: feeding/potty schedules, commands, what your pets like/dislike, etc. on paper or through messages, I would highly appreciate that! I am also experienced in reading dog and cat body language. If they have boundaries: no touching, no fast movements, don't like being pet in certain places -- I am skilled at reading and respecting those boundaries. If your pet does have boundaries like these, it's much better to let me know in advance though!
“Juan helped me ensure the two ferals I feed were kept on their feeding schedule when I made an unplanned trip. He sent daily updates and brought over extra food. I’m so thankful for his help and would definitely book with him again.”

About: As a pet owner myself, of an energetic poodle, I understand the importance of maintaining open communication while your pet is in the care of another person. I work 100% remotely, which allows me the flexibility to cuddle, play, and care for your pet. I have a set schedule for walks but can also accommodate as needed. Pets are not allowed in my bedroom or bathroom in my home but are welcome to the rest of the home. They’ll also have their own room to safely sleep, play or relax.
About: My family has always had animals and I've been learning to care for them since I was young. Cats are more my strong suit, but I love to meet and hang out with dogs, too! I'm free for the vast majority of the day and currently have two clingy kitties who follow me around my house if I leave a room for more than five minutes, one of whom likes to hang out on the couch and watch TV with me. I have a very flexible schedule and will often be available to care for and spend time with pets after 12:30 P.M. I am unable to care for pets in my own home at this time. In clients' homes, I will greet pets with the same love I give my own, and follow any instructions left by their humans. I am not comfortable giving medication to pets, as I do not currently have the skill to minimize stress while doing so.
“Michaela was so great! Very kind and attentive to my old cat. She was super communicative and did an awesome job. I’d definitely rebook with her and would absolutely recommend her!”

About: Experience with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. I’ve had dogs my whole life, and love getting to interact with them when I can. I’m currently available throughout the day and at night within reason but I am flexible. Early mornings are also available if needed, as well as feedings. I have a fenced in backyard that borders up to a state park for all the walks your pet may need. Potty breaks, or just basking in the sun are readily available. There are currently no animals in my home.
About: Spouse and I both retired military with over 30 years experience caring for your dog. Work from home and can care for your animal around the clock. Fenced in doggie patio.

A fenced in patio and area setup in the sunroom for dogs to play and relax. Plenty of room to separate animals if need be.
About: Since the age of 5, I have been a dog owner and since the age of 17, I have worked with dogs in a professional manner. From working in doggy daycares to kennels to house sitting for pet owners. I have plenty of knowledge and love to take care of your fur babies! I have a pretty flexible schedule as I am a college student. For dog walking and potty breaks, standing appointments are preferred (daily, weekly, certain days throughout the week) however all non standing bookings are also welcomed. I have open availability Fri-Sun. Overnight/multiple night bookings need to be scheduled at least a week prior to drop off date. I will do a meet and greet with your dog prior to performing any service. Any medical conditions, dietary restrictions, personalized household rules should be disclosed during the meet and greet to ensure all parties' expectations are met.
About: I’ve taken care of any kind of pet, my close relatives trust that I walk, feed at the right amount that suit their healthy life. I’m part-timer so I have a flexible schedule, my calendar may change, but I always let you know in advance with any concerns with booking. I’m always aware with my surroundings and maintain a secure, neat environment for your pets safety that can potentially risk your pets at any moment.
