I had a great experience with Glen as my dog sitter. He was extremely reliable and attentive, especially when it came to administering medication, including eye drops, to my dogs. Not only did he take great care of my dogs, but he also kept the house tidy. I really appreciated how he sent frequent updates and pictures of my dogs, which put my mind at ease while I was away. I would highly recommend Glen to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old,I've also taken care of special needs dogs and other animals as I am an animal lover. I am actually majoring in animal biology and veterinary medicine so that I can become a veterinarian. I was president of my animal club all through high school where I would set up and host adoption events, set up volunteer days at the human society and other animal shelters. There were even days I would set aside to make treats, toys and blankets for shelter dogs and other animals. I am usually free 24/7 so I'll have a bunch of free time to play and love on your fur babies, especially if they have a lot of energy and need to burn it off and run around. I do not start school until the fall but even then it is online so I will still have plenty of time to give them all my attention. I can easily crate your pup if need be and I also have doggy gates so they won't be able to run out of the door. I always have treats and toys on me and I stay by a dog friendly park to keep your dog occupied and engaging in some sort activity.

Mia was superb, wonderful and both of our dogs warmed up to her on the short moment of meet and greet. I was worried to leave them with a stranger; however, it worked out and felt at ease and not had to worry because Mia took care of what our dogs important needs were -feeding them 2x a day on a timely manner, walked them and kept them company too. Both were well taken care of because they were super happy when I came home. Also the living room was in order and not disarray like our big toys who likes to make a mess -dog toys weren't all over the place. I would use here again in the future ! Thank you.

About: Hello, my name is Angel and I’m excited to care for your cats and dogs! I have about 6 years of experience with cats, thanks to raising and caring for my own kitty, and 2 years of experience with dogs. While cats are my specialty, I’m also eager to continue building my dog care skills and I love spending time with pups of all ages, including puppies. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable with feeding, cleaning up after them, playing, and following any specific instructions you provide. If you book dog walking, I can take your pup on walks or even light jogs for exercise. I don’t currently drive, so I may use public transit or rideshare; this means arrival times can vary slightly. Meet and greets are required so your pet and I can get comfortable first! I am currently enrolled in hybrid and online college classes, which means I have almost full availability for bookings. My schedule is flexible unless otherwise stated in advance. I care for my own kitty with lots of love and attention, and I would do the same for your lovable fur baby. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are always my top priorities when pet sitting.😊🤗

About: My parents have a farm with three big dogs and many small ones, I’ve taken care of them many times over the years. I have neighbors and friends reaching out to care for their furry friends while they are out of town. I promise to give your loved furry one the love they would expect on a day to day basis I work from home so if I need to spend the day with your pet I can be there for them as I work! Outside of work hours I can give long walks and tons of play time. If you pet needs extra attention I can provide lots of head pets or give them space if they like to spend their time alone.

Nancy did a fantastic job caring for my dog and cat while my wife and I were out of town for a couple of days. She treated our boys like her own pets and made sure she understood all of their care details during our meet and greet. She's very communicative and sent us plenty of updates with photos while we were away. And, she was a great guest while she stayed at our home. I'll definitely be requesting Nancy to care for our pets in the future!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a gentler touch, I’m comfortable with all personalities and energy levels. For the past two years, I’ve also house sat for my neighbors’ cats, making sure they’re well-fed, loved, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and at home. I’m home for the holidays, so I’m free to dedicate my days to taking care of your furry family members! I love walking (even if it’s cold out) and playing with pets. I am very attentive and hands-on with pets. I am able to detect when animals are uncomfortable. I also have experience administering medicine for pets!

About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.

About: Hi there! I’m Laura — a lifelong animal lover with over 14 years of professional pet sitting and dog walking experience. I have been a pet mom to dogs, hamsters, horses, fish, and a turtle. Whether it’s a playful pup, a cuddly cat, or a critter with special needs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. I love taking great care of these precious pets and their families that love them so much! I’m Red Cross certified in Dog and Cat CPR and First Aid, and I have extensive experience giving medications — including insulin injections — so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. I have attended the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behavior and completed the Dog Trainer Foundations course. I believe pets are family, and I treat every dog and cat I care for like one of my own. From long walks and playtime to quiet companionship and snuggles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether you need daily dog walks, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting, I’ll keep your pets comfortable, cared for, and smiling. 🐶🐾🐱 Reliable. Certified. Experienced. Most of all — pet-obsessed! I am a full time dog walker and pet sitter and just joined Rover. Walks/visits can be scheduled for anytime of day. I am happy to do as many visits per day as needed. I always do my best to accommodate last minute requests! Pet parents appreciate my professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care. I take time to learn each pet’s needs, quirks, and favorite routines. You can always count on me for clear communication, daily updates, and adorable photo check-ins. I’ve built lasting relationships with clients who know their pets are in trusted, loving hands — and I’m honored to be part of so many furry families’ lives.

She sent a summary of how it went along with cute pictures of my pups looking extremely content! She is kind, very responsive and followed all of the instructions I left as both my dogs have specific routines and medications they are on. We will definitely be using her for future dog sitting!

Jing is an excellent house sitter. She watched my two dogs while I was overseas for the Holiday break. She provided multiple photos throughout each day and even cleared snow on the back deck and steps so my senior dog could make it back easier to the door. She was very attentive to their needs and compassionate. I would definitely recommend Jing!! Thank you Jing 🤙

The GOAT of pet sitters! Valarie has been doing drop in visits on our dogs and cats for a few years and has always been so great. This time she stayed at our home while we traveled and it was the first time in years I didn’t have a worry about my home and fur babies. She’s a good communicator with daily pictures and always responsive. Trust and reliability is hard to find and I’ve found it consistently with Valarie.
