About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently work at a doggy daycare part time ( Dogtopia of deer park) I like to say I’m really good with dog body language and know how to read a dog. I love every dog there as if they are my own. I have such a strong love for dogs. Dogs are my happy place. I currently have a really flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care most weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work with your routine to keep things consistent for your pup. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions, keep a close eye on behavior, and always make sure pets are safe on walks and in the home. I’m really big on transparency so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos

Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!

Monica was amazing! This was our first time having someone come to our house to let our puppy out and she made us feel very comfortable. She was very responsive and sent us pictures while she was there. We are definitely going to ask Monica to do more drop in visits in the future!

Grace is awesome! She saved us for a last minute visit for our older dog who needed a midday bathroom break. She came out the night before after working all day to meet us and our pets and go over our pets needs. During the first visit we got a video, photos and report card from the visit. She was very personable and we could tell in the video our pets were excited to see her when she arrived. Just know if you hire Grace, your pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Currently live with 2 dogs and 2 cats, and my family has 3 other dogs! I’ve dog-sat for many years, both staying at homes and frequently checking in. I have a natural way of connecting with animals, and I love spending time with them! During the summer, I will have availability to walk dogs, let dogs out, and care for pets during the day and evenings on weekdays. June weekdays I am available after 12, and July weekdays I am available all day. Weekend availability is not consistent throughout the summer. I live with two dogs and two cats. I walk the dogs frequently, feed them breakfast and dinner, and keep their spaces clean and safe! I monitor pets as they chew on toys, and throw away toys that could be dangerous. Managing 4 pets is a handful, but I love it!

About: My boyfriend, Joe, and I both have huge hearts for animals and enjoy taking on Rover jobs together! Being in our mid 20s, we have plenty of free time and we both have extremely flexible work schedules; this enable us to give the attention and time that your pets deserve! About Haley: My love for animals started from a young age; I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I was raised with 2 cats, a Golden Retriever, 2 Bull Terrier Mixes, and a Miniature Pinscher. I currently have 2 Chihuahuas and I’m hoping to add a Corgi and/or Bernese Mountain Dog to the family in the future! About Joe: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with a Weimaraner named Wimzy! She passed early last year after spending 13 wonderful years with my family. Haley: My flexible work schedule allows me to take care of pets at any time during the day or night. Joe: I work a non-traditional corporate work schedule. I am in the office Wednesday thru Saturday from 3am to the early afternoon. This gives me a pretty empty schedule to help with Rover cares or to stop by if Haley gets called into to work on short notice. We work as a team which really allows us to give the upmost care for your pet while they’re with us. We have a large yard, while it is unfenced, it is in a quiet neighborhood. Dogs will always be leashed for potty breaks for safety. If your dogs needs to unleash their zoomies there is a fenced in dog park just a short 5-minute walk away! Cats will find comfort in our quiet home with many cozy windowsills to snuggle up on. Toys & treats (with owner’s permission) are always provided!

I could not have asked for a better first experience with Rover. Mary was absolutely a dream to have come over and take care of my boys. She sent me a bunch of pictures of both of my dogs and made sure that they were loved while we were away. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I feel blessed to have found her.

We were so lucky to find Kaitlyn! She responded quickly and was able to take on the job with very short notice, which we really appreciated. From the start, her communication was incredible—she sent detailed updates every visit along with adorable photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Not only did she take great care of our cats, but she also went above and beyond by bringing in our packages and even cleaning up without us asking. It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful and thorough. We’ll absolutely be using Kaitlyn again and couldn’t recommend her more!

Cici is very thoughtful and caring. She has the experience and kindness that is most welcome when leaving a puppy home for the first full day without Mom and Dad. I will be looking forward to another outing and the reassurance of Cici taking care of our dog.

About: I can use any training tools you use on walks to continue their training. I can take your pup for a run if they have extra energy they need to burn too! I have a part time job allowing me time to walk your furry friend most afternoons/evenings with the occasional morning or weekend walk if needed! I have a dog if your pup wants a friend on their walk or if they need a solo walk that works too! I stay within your neighborhood so we are never far from home keeping the doggies calmer.

About: “Dog fever” doesn’t even begin to cover it — my girlfriend and I are counting down the days until we can bring home a new puppy. I’m the kind of person who can’t pass a dog on the street without stopping to say hello, so you can imagine how excited I get around animals. I’m a private contractor working remotely with a very flexible schedule. I can shift my day to day schedule and adapt to most needs you may have. I am a very attentive person with patience and much affection. I hope to keep your pets routine consistent & stress-free with exercise, playtime, or just extra attention.

About: I'm an animal lover with a natural way with animals. Though I've only cared for roommates' pets in the past, I love to pay it forwards to everyone! In between jobs right now, I have open availability and am happy to be the last minute sitter you hope you never needed and are glad to have. Keeping them in a routine is important. I'm respectful of my clients' property and loving of their animals while also providing structure to them all

Marcy has been great, we have used her services several times the last few months and have all good things to say. The biggest help is being able to work with the short notices due to my work schedule. Her flexibility has been awesome. My dogs seem to really enjoy her and Marcy has been wonderful to my pups.....

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and over the years I’ve turned that love into hands-on experience working in both boarding facilities and pet retail. Always looking for a reason to be around more adorable fur faces! I have both a cat and a dog and make sure they’re fully prioritized after I get home from work because they’re the best friends anyone could ask for! I care for pets based on their routine and personality, keeping things consistent and stress-free while you’re away. In your home, I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and keep spaces clean (like litter boxes and water). I’m attentive to behavior and provide regular updates with photos.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs since I was little and have loved every second. I was always helping out my family’s and neighbor’s pets - and now I finally got my own puppy in August of 2025. Trained him all on my own and he is the sweetest boy! I work at a kindergarten with special education during the school year. Once June hits, I will be officially out for summer break and plan on focusing all my attention on Rover. I will have all the time on my hands to drop in and take care of your pets! My 10 month old dachshund is very well taken care of. He is my pride and joy - always getting all the cuddles and exercise he needs. I believe that all pets require the same love and attention that humans do and I treat them with that idea in mind.
