About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I've owned and cared for dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, personalities, and temperaments. Along with dogs, I've cared for cats throughout my life and have completed extended cat-sitting assignments lasting up to 8 months. My animal experience doesn't stop there—I have also cared for exotic pets, including lizards, reptiles, and birds, and have owned birds myself. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I pride myself on adapting my care to each pet's personality and routine. One of my specialties is working with larger reactive dogs. As the owner of a reactive dog myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, reading body language, and maintaining a safe environment. Safety is something I take extremely seriously—for your pet, for myself, and for everyone around us. I always follow owner instructions carefully and prioritize responsible handling practices during walks, drop-ins, and house sits. Over the years, I've provided house-sitting and drop-in care for many friends and their pets, giving me experience adapting to different homes, schedules, and care requirements. Whether your pet needs a high-energy play session, medication reminders, quiet companionship, or a structured routine, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. As an added bonus, my apartment complex has a dog washing station available for baths if requested. I also love building genuine bonds with the animals I care for and occasionally leave owner-approved treats or small gifts for pets I've gotten to know well. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or scaled family members! My schedule is perfect for pet care throughout the week! I'm available on weekdays before 10:00 AM and again after 5:00 PM for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. On weekends, I have open availability and can provide care at any time of day. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible, whether they need an early morning visit, evening care, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. Feel free to reach out with your needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule! I provide pet care directly in your home, helping your pet stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you're away. This includes drop-in visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and any other routine care your pet needs. Staying in their own home helps reduce stress for pets, especially cats and animals that do better with consistency. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure everything stays as close to their normal routine as possible while you're gone.

About: I am fairly new to the pet care industry, I have experience in taking care and training pets my family have owned. I am very good at bonding with any animal I meet and making sure all needs and responsibilities are taken care of. I look forward getting more experience and am super excited to work with you and your pets! Because I work a busy schedule during the week, I dedicate my entire weekend to pet sitting! I have full, uninterrupted availability from Friday evening through Sunday night, meaning your pet will get my 100% undivided attention, long walks, and constant companionship Your pet's safety is my absolute top priority. I tend to never rush through care routines or try to juggle multiple tasks. I strictly follow your specific feeding, walking, and medication instructions to keep your pet's routine consistent. I am highly attentive during neighborhood walks, always keeping dogs on a secure safe leesh and avoid interactions with unknown animals. You will receive frequent photo and text updates throughout the weekend so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and thriving.

About: I have great flexibility in my schedule this summer vacation. I can even possibly extend care into the school year come August. I am looking forward to getting to know your pets! I am a teacher and I will be on summer break after June 18. I will have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to help take care of dogs and cats. I can come to your home for in home dog or cat care. I can also offer to walk your dog to get them out and exercise.

“Ashley was awesome and very reliable. Will reuse her help in the future.”

“Rene is absolutely fantastic. She was always prompt, diligent and so caring for our cat. This was our first time leaving Milo. Rene immediately put us at ease. She communicated constantly. She came prior to the scheduled visits to meet Milo, who loved Rene instantly. During the visits, Rene sent us pictures of Milo. She did “all the things” (litterbox, food, water etc), probably more carefully than we do at home haha. Rene even brushed Milo, which was above and beyond. We are so happy Rene took care of our pet. We can’t say enough good things about Rene.”

“Lynnette was fantastic with our 5 Yorkies! We had never used Rover before but we were so happy we did. She took excellent care of our fur babies and easily won them all over. We could enjoy our vacation knowing they were in her care!”

About: Hi! I'm Darling, and I'm someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. While I'm new to Rover, I've always loved spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'm responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddle time, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I know every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to make sure each one feels comfortable and receives the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I'm currently available with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or plenty of playtime, I'm happy to work around their routine.

I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“Jina was an amazing sitter to my cat and dog. She sends thorough report cards and lots of pics. She helped with a couple small tasks of home care since it was an extended trip and was just a trustworthy and wonderful person to work with. Highly recommend and we will definitely use her again!!”

About: Hi! My name is Amy! I grew up with dogs around me. I rescued my dog from Lucky Dog Rescue, Sadie, my black lab mix who I recently lost. I now have a mini golden doodle who is very playful. I have 10+ years of walking my dog, taking her to the dog park and giving her ALL the LOVE. All of that being said, I love dogs and look forward to sharing your dog's story as we take walks. I'm big on taking pictures, always loved getting them from my dog walker and doggy daycare and will be sure to share pics with you! Can't wait to meet you and your pup! I currently work full time but I have my afternoons and weekends free and would love to offer your dog short or long walks. Would also be happy to have your pup stay with me for the weekend! I have a small yard and with a fence. I have a very friendly dog neighborhood with great places to walk as well. I will make sure your dog feels just at home as my own dog.

“Jay is wonderful with my dogs. They are always so happy when he shows up and my little one eats better for him than she does me. Lol. It's so wonderful to come home to healthy happy dogs who didn't have to be kenneled because we went away. Jay is a Godsend in our busy lives and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting great care for their babies.”

“Max took great care of my two dogs for 6 days. Was prompt with the visits, took them on occasional walks and kept me updated on the dogs with pictures and feedback.”

About: I’ve had at least 1 dog in the house since 2016, I love taking care of pets and being present with them. I love their unconditional love and would love to help as many as possible!🙏🏾 I’m currently a student at Stonehill College and we have scheduled breaks. For now, when I am home on breaks, my schedule is wide open. I have a pretty consistent unofficial routine of going on runs, lifting weights, and hanging out with my girlfriend Personally, I have one dog at home and when I get back I love to take him on long walks. I also just have a mental clock of refilling his food and water. Every other week or so we get him showered and cleaned up. I’ve also helped take care of other peoples pets stopping by and taking them on walks.

About: We understand the stress of trying to find a place for your pup. We have teo dogs, Mocha (a miniature Schnauzer) and Luka (a mix Lab). Having dogs has given my kids the confidence to feel comfortable around pets and lately we have been sharing our love with other dogs that we have cared for. The day starts with a walk, feeding, a later stroll down to the park (to play outside-based on weather), afternoon feed and a later walk. But if you feel this is too much for your dog, don't worry, we adapt and do what your dog likes best....We will take care of your dog with diligence and plenty of love. We have plenty of love to give. Morning feeding and walk. Mid day snack and playtime (outside, if weather permits). In the afternoon, a walk or playtime (if weather permits) and evening ends with a feeding and a walk. Again, we adjust based on each dog's needs. We board pups in our home. We have a fenced yard for supervised playtime and we keep your pup with the same that they have in your home. They will be loved!

“We have a fear reactive pup and Kira has gone above and beyond our expectations to work with her. She has taken the time to get to know Sadie and give her a chance to show her true colors. We were hesitant of Rover with a reactive dog, but couldn’t have found a better fit for our pups! We cannot recommend be her enough!”

“Anna is great! I’m so happy to have someone I’m comfortable with coming over and hanging out with my boys! My lab is SO shy, and he took to her right away.”

“Allison did drop-in visits to feed/check in on my young and energetic cat while I was away for a week. He was well taken care of. Allison gave me daily picture and updates, and I particularly appreciated these updates including notes about checking for a potential health issue that flares up on occasion. I would certainly recommend her and would use her again in the future!”
