About: If you work long hours you can trust me to come by to let them out, take them for a walk, feed them, or whatever the needs may be. I treat pets like they are my own. As a dog owner my concern and care for your pet will be my first priority. I am a retired Navy Veteran of 27 years and have many references I can furnish. I am married with grown children and 1 grandchild and attend Enon Baptist Church. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands and ready to take care of your pets. I primarily focus on pet drop ins whether it is once during your work day, or multiple times while you are away. I also do dog walking. Your pets safety and well being is my number 1 concern. I will treat your pets like they are my own. If you have long work hours give your pet the break that they deserve...give me a call :)

About: Though I don’t have formal experience, I genuinely love animals and spend a lot of my free time with my brother and sister-in-law’s dog—my “nephew-dog”—who I absolutely adore. Whether it’s going for walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping him company, caring for him has been one of the highlights of my downtime. Hi! I’m a quiet, responsible grad student who loves animals and enjoys helping people. I’m currently offering house sitting and pet sitting services as a way to earn extra income while supporting those who need a trustworthy presence while they travel for work or vacation. I genuinely enjoy calm, peaceful environments and pride myself on being respectful of others’ spaces. While I may not have years of experience, I have a natural sense of care and attention to detail whether it’s making sure your pets are safe and happy, watering plants, or simply keeping your home in good order.
“I am so happy I found Trish on Rover! I had used a few other sitters from the site before but was never really happy with them until I met Trish! She is very responsive when you book and eager to get the ball rolling! From our first encounter at the meet n greet, I knew I had found a sitter that would do what I requested for my fur baby! Trish was happy to accommodate my requests and let me know when she was on the way to check in on my cat. She sent videos and photos of my baby and assured me she was doing well! She updated me on what she did during her visits and asked if I she could do anything else for me while she was there. She loves animals, and you can tell! My cat usually hides under the bed with other sitters, but with Trish, she was out n about more, and it made me happy that my cat liked her! Trish is friendly, outgoing, and dependable. She is my go-to sitter from now on!!”

“Last minute booking. Rachel was sweet and responsive, took care of my puppy well and sent cute photos! (And she didn’t say anything about our messy house!) Thanks again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I currently have two rescue pups of my own. I totally understand each baby has unique needs to live their own best life. I work at an elementary school and am off each day by 3:30 and don’t work weekends so I can spend afternoons and weekends caring for your babies. I also live directly next to a dog park and am happy to take them for an afternoon play! I have spent many years pet sitting in other people’s homes and am used to all different living situations for animals. I have crate trained my own dogs so can assist with that process, as well as take your baby on familiar walks and play time.
About: While I cannot train your precious pet, I am able to offer lots of love and a dog park 2 mins from my door. I also have a dog wash room. I currently work 100% remote. I have a shih tzu/chihuahua who would love to have someone to play with. Instead of another on my own, I might as well help some out and watch their pet while I take care of my own. I have completely potty trained two dogs of my own and understand the importance of keeping up with potty breaks so they do not get curious.
