About: I was raised with pets. They are a part of the family. I did in home pet sitting for about 3 years. I can easily do so for you. I have spent the past summer traveling Europe dog and house sitting. In May I had the house sitter taking care of my babies do a boarding. He received a bad review. Please don't let a bad review scare you away. I am retired, so I will be home with the fur babies. My pets sleep in the bed with me, your's will be more than welcome. I live on a quiet street. Plus I do have a fenced backyard. If you prefer I stay at your home, I can do that also.

About: From a teacup poodle to a big mastiff, I've had pets of various sizes. I've pet-sit (or "cat-sat"), my friends and families pets whenever they needed so I'd be happy to do that as well. I'm also no stranger to helping feed pets their nasty medicine as well. I'm currently looking for a job as I've just moved down here! That being the case, I've got plenty of time (with almost an entirely free schedule), to walk and play with your pups! I have met dogs and cats of all energy levels, from pups that have high energy to those who like to make their daily rounds before plopping down for a nap. Whatever their needs are, I am happy to comply. Their comfort and enjoyment is my top priority!

“Cathy dropped in on our dogs to let them out while I was out of town for work and my wife wouldn’t be home until very late. Was a great experience just like before and will book again!”


“She took care of my joy just as if I was there taking care of her myself. She kept me informed on everything the whole time and left me plenty of pictures and videos. I would recommend her to anyone on this app she is top tier in my book.”


About: Hi! I'm Rachel, I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and helping friends and family with theirs, and now I’m excited to offer that same love and attention to your furry family members! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I treat every animal like my own—with patience, kindness, and tons of belly rubs (if they’re into that). I do my best to make it an stress-free and comfortable experience for both you and your fur babies. I’m reliable, friendly, and genuinely care about the pets I look after. I have a 9-year-old chocolate lab named Roux—she’s very friendly and generally gets along with any pet. I do always take it slow when introducing her to new animals though to ensure things always go smoothly. I have open availability and have a reliable vehicle to be able to get to and from where I’m needed. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or someone to hang out while you’re away I make sure your pet has the BEST time doing it! I’ve got plenty of toys to keep them entertained, and with living on 10 acres of land, there’s lots of space for them to run, play, and burn off some energy in a safe environment (but also can leash them based on each specific scenario). I’m also happy to stick to your pet’s routine, give updates and photos, and make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. When you book with me, I’ll always be upfront about my availability. I’m usually pretty open (as I work from home) unless I’m fully booked, and if I can’t make something work, I’ll let you know right away. I try to stay flexible and am happy to work with you to find a good time. I think it’s really important to connect before a booking—whether that’s meeting in person or hopping on a quick FaceTime. It helps me get to know your pet, understand their needs, and make sure they’re comfortable with me. That way, everything goes smoothly and you can feel confident while you're away. I highly recommend this with any sitter you choose! Okay, let’s chat—I’d love to meet your pet and learn how I can help! :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I’m someone who thrives on structure and responsibility, so scheduling walks, feedings, or check-ins is something I look forward to and easily plan my day around. Whether it’s early morning, midday, or evening, I make time for pet care like I would for any other important commitment—and it never feels like a chore. I love the mix of routine and connection that comes with spending time with pets. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment—whether the pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keeping their routine consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keep things clean and secure, and make sure pets feel at ease by sticking to their familiar environment. If pets are staying with me, I provide a cozy space, lots of attention, and regular updates so owners feel confident and connected. My goal is always to make the pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—like they’re with family.

About: Since childhood, I’ve always cared for dogs. After losing my beloved dog, I’ve longed to feel that special connection again, and I’m ready to give your pup the love they deserve. I work part-time, so I can take your dog out during the morning shift or lunch breaks, ensuring they get the attention they deserve while you’re at work. My home is pet-friendly with a secure, fenced yard where dogs can roam freely and safely. I provide the same care and attention when walking dogs in their own home, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved in a familiar environment.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. From training and raising my own dog to be a service dog to watching and walking friends and families dogs, horses, fishes, and rats. I’ve done it all! I can be there morning, afternoon, or evening to check on, walk, feed, and love on your pet! I also offer grooming services! Please reach out to me if you are looking to get your dog groomed. 😊 I have a fenced in yard, a dog, and a cat to keep your fur baby company while you’re away. I am also able to crate your pet if necessary!

About: I've have two dogs of my own, one is a blue heeler/ rottweiler named Tak and the other is a Vizla whos name is Haruko. Which means sunlight child in Japanese. He has the more golden glowing eyes! I also have been around dogs most of my life, my partners mom got us into volunteering at The Bully Project and we go and walk the dogs just because.My partners mom use to work there too. I also grew up with close to around 20-30 cats at once when I was a little girl, I was always so use to being surrounded by them in my yard and hanging out with them as much as I possibly could. Ive always been real sensitive to animals and their feelings, it's literally a sixth sense. I was currently managing and running my own professional wedding photography business but have slowed down drastically to focus on the little things. Im interested in dog/cat sitting and getting into learning how to grow a garden. Im wanting to take a huge break from social media and work more in the physical world. I also have two dogs of my own so its always been in my routine to care my my pets and take care of them. I have a huge open availability this whole year. I don't recommend having them stay at my own home just because of how high energy my Vizsla is. I do however recommend I come to your home to watch them. I promise to make sure your pets are comfortable with me there, make sure they go outside as frequently as needed to go to the bathroom, take medication, have cuddles, and watch for all the little things. Even keep the active on commands/tricks if they use any, that way they are consistently engaged. Im always outside the entire time with my dogs even though we have a fenced in yard because I want to make sure they don't dig under the fence and escape and that they are truly looked after in the best possible way.

About: I've helped care for not only pets, but also my younger siblings since a young age. I have a kitten named Shiva and my family recently cared for a mother and son pair of husky/German Shepherd mixed. Sadly, due to our situation at home, we couldn't keep the dogs with us. But, due to my love for animals, my friend recommended I apply to be a pet sitter on Rover. I have some experience with injured animals and caring for them. I also have experience working with other people's animals. My schedule tends to be pretty flexible. My schedule tends to be pretty flexible. At least one or two Thursday nights of each month i like to go home and spend time with my family. Due to my home situation, I won't be able to have animals in my home. Therefore, I won't be offering boarding or day care services in my home.
