“Amber watched our kitties for 5 days through drop in visits. From the start, Amber was very communicative and met us and the kitties before our trip! Every day we got at least two photos with descriptions. Amber even communicated with us through WhatsApp to make sure we received updates. It doesn’t stop there- one of our kitties is having trouble pooping in the litter box. Without trouble/hesitation, Amber assured me it wouldn’t be a problem and she made sure to take care of any messes and showed our kitty love. We are so happy that we were able relax knowing our kitties were in good hands!”


“Thank you for all the pictures, updates, and for taking such great care of my pups on such short notice! Dara was very prompt and gave them the full amount of time. I could tell from the pictures that they were their happy selves and really enjoyed making a new friend. I truly appreciate the care and attention Dara gave them!”

“Minty was easy to communicate with and was able to watch our pup, Drexel, last minute which I appreciate so much! She took wonderful care of him and even brought in a package that had been delivered while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their fur baby!”
“Brandon looked and took care of our dogs as if it was his own. He is also very communicative and provided us daily updates. Also went the extra mile and cleaned after our pups even though he didn’t have to…highly recommend! And def would rebook again!”


About: I have grown up having cats and dogs my whole life. I absolutely love taking care of them and giving them as much love as I can all the time. I have experience with walking mine and my friends dogs, and I've also volunteered with dogs and walked dogs from shelters. I currently work part time as a pet counselor at Petland where some of my responsibilities include helping take care of small animals and assisting the kennel technicians with the care of our puppies. I am newly married and am wanting to make some side money while working part time. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my free time than with dogs and cats and loving and caring for them. I am extremely flexible to help out, I was a previous college athlete and I'm very active throughout my day, I can help with dog walking, as well as looking after your pets. I am trustworthy and can guarantee I'll give your dogs/ cats plenty of kisses and cuddles. I love walks myself and love to take dogs on long walks. I can bathe them, brush them, feed them, and overall just play with them and give your dogs and cats lots of attention.
About: I have taken care of family pets since I was a child. As an adult, I have invested my time in rescuing pets that need a little extra time and attention. Currently I have two dogs, Chuck Norris & Winchester, who I adopted from local rescus. I have spent the last 4 years working with Norris on extreme separation anxiety and special dietary needs. My hope is that I can continue helping animals by assisting y'all here on Rover with your pet care needs! If you hire me, I promise your fur babies will be given the time, care and respect I give to mine. I work as a care coordinator, allowing me the ability to make my own schedule. That means I am able to care for your pets at all times throughout the day :) I do not bring pets into my home but will come to yours as many as 3 times per day. I will accept same day bookings but prefer for at least 24 hours notice.
About: I’m a lifetime dog owner with hands-on experience caring for family and friends' pets. I know exactly how to handle both the chaotic energy of puppies and the gentle, slow-paced needs of senior dogs. I accommodate both planned schedules and last-minute requests, making it easy for busy owners when schedules change on a dime. I live right next to dog parks and trails, meaning your dog gets high-quality exercise and adventure rather than just a quick walk around the block. I send regular photo updates so you always know your fur baby is happy, safe, and having fun in real-time. My schedule is wide open, meaning I can easily accommodate regular routines, mid-day breaks, or last-minute, short-notice requests. Im happy to set a routine as well sinc ei know this helps with over all comfort for everyone. I can come for short walks or hour long walks, whatever you need! I can care for your pets at my place—where I live right next to dog parks and trails—or in the comfort of your own home. When caring for pets in your home, I am deeply respectful of your space and always tidy up after myself and your pet so you can come home to a clean house.

“Callie was great with communication and solved a problem with a food mixup to make sure our dogs were taken care of. She is definitely someone I recommend for drop in support. Thanks Callie!”


About: Ive had all kinds of pets my entire life-everything from dogs and cats to hamsters and guinea pigs to lizards and snakes. I love all animals! While I dont have a lot of experience pet sitting, I'm always ready for a challenge. My second ever pet sitting client had 6 dogs! I understand the important of routine for our furry babies and I do my best to follow their regular routine, including meds or other special instructions necessary for their comfort! I am also willing to help with other pets if needed- including rodents, reptiles, and amphibians! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work full time but am able to do drop ins before and after work! My schedule is flexible when I need it to be so mid-day drop ins may be an option if you are near my place of employment. I take special care to follow instructions on how to keep your pets comfy, safe, and secure! I also prefer to meet the pets and owners before I sit so that the pet has an opportunity to meet me with their comfort person around!
About: Rescue and veterinary experience. Skilled with seniors, special needs, and neonates. Comfortable giving medications and injections. Attentive, patient, and focused on keeping pets safe, clean, and stress-free. I currently work part-time in the veterinary field (two days per week), giving me plenty of availability to care for your pets.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and I’ve been taking care of them pretty much since I was able to take care of myself 😂 I love being able to meet new babies and take care of them! I currently work part time and am a part time student, so I have a lot of free time, especially during the day, and I don’t have any pets of my own that I need to take care of at home. Plus, I am able to pop in whenever needed if that’s all you want me to do! I like to think of myself as very good at following instructions, even if your pet won’t 😂 and I like to make sure my job is done right. I’m first and foremost an animal lover, so you can trust that I’ll give them loads of pets and kisses (if they like them) and spend as much time with them as I can.
About: I am very passionate about animals, dogs and cats especially! Love them so much. Your fur babies will be so incredibly loved, adored, spoiled, and so happy by me when I am done with them and they return to you safe and sound. They are so important to me and I will treat them like I would for my own, well disciplined when misbehaving, loved, have fun with them, give them lots of attention and treat them with respect as well. I represent these animals on behalf of them and thier owners since they can't speak for themselves. You will be able to tell the difference in their attitude and behavior of how much love and attention they got from me. I love the outdoors and driving my friends dogs around because I don't like to leave them by themselves all the time. Dogs are family. I have so much passion for these beautiful animals. I hope to have these wonderful opportunity to show you guys. Please note that if there is any messes in my home, there will be a $20 to $30 fee additional to the total cost of my clean up fee. I have to use my cleaning supplies and they are not cheap. I would appreciate your help and understanding with this. I have learned this the hard way and will set this request upfront for pet sitting at my home. I love dogs and cats so very much and am so happy to do thus job. I hope this is a very reasonable request. Thank you all!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I can remember. From family, friends, neighbors and even teachers, they have relied on me to feed, medicate, walk, groom, play and love their babies like my own. Every animal is different, but always loved! I’m currently and fortunately a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open! During the school year, I’m available after 9am and could work afternoon needs around pick up times. School is about to be out, so my schedule would be open! I’m not doing in home services due to my rescue having a bad past and still working on trusting other dogs. In clients homes, I’d make sure to follow all requests, communicate what happened during the visit and have the utmost respect for their home/pet(s).

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly see them as family. I love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

I also love cats and have experience caring for them, including diabetic cats and dogs, as well as pets with other medical needs. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or just have someone to keep them company, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and getting the best care while you’re away.

I’m in an apartment but I can take your pet outside for walks. Still having fun in the house and cuddles! Have two cats if they get along with other animals.

About: I’ve had many pets over the years, and I know how special and important they are in our lives. I have taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors; from puppies/ kittens to very special seniors. My children are adults now, so I am very flexible as far as scheduling goes, in order to meet your and your pet’s needs. I come to you! I will carry out your instructions in your pet’s own environment, and make sure they are safe and happy, keeping feedings in mind, as well as doors or gates that need to stay closed.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
