Xin is beyond amazing. She cared for my 2 kittens as if they were her own. She’s wonderful with them, shared lots of pics and updates and they loved her. It was clear they were in good hands and I had nothing to worry about. Highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

About: I’ve had quite a lot of pups in my life! I have rescued 5 dogs from the street and got 4 rehomed! The first who I rescued, Paisley, was thrown out of a truck and I raised her in a dorm room! She needed lots of medicine so I can perform any medical treatment needed! And I also get the ups and downs of raising a puppy! I am a professional athlete and love that Rover lets me fit jobs into my schedule! I have always loved animals so this was something that never felt like work! Because of all my animals here, I tend to go to your place! I can make frequent stops or stay the night! Small animals I do take here!

We are so lucky to have been connected with Jennifer! She’s a caring and dedicated pet companion and we have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands while we are away. Our eldest cat can be a handful and she is very understanding of that. In addition, she’s great at communication. This was our third vacation having her as a sitter and we have a fourth one booked for the near future.

This is my first time using Rover and Ashley has been fantastic to work with. We have a young puppy and a shy adult dog and we need weekly visits. Ashley has been helpful and supportive working out a schedule, knowing it will evolve as the puppy gets older. She's responsive, flexible, and has given us good ideas on how these visits can meet the needs of both dogs and keep them happy and comfortable.

Magda is an amazing sitter. She watched our 4 cats for the first time over Christmas break. She is incredibly punctual and attentive to all of our cats special needs and even brought potential house issues to our attention. Her communication is on point, from the meet and greet throughout the actual sitting. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 17. Family, neighbors, and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, clean up after, and comfort their pets while they’re away. Whether it’s a snuggly cat or an energetic pup, I always approach animals with patience and love. I currently work part-time, so I’m flexible and can make time for drop-in visits or overnight stays at your home. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2PM. I’ll treat your home with care—and your pets like family. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I provide thoughtful, reliable care in your space—where your pets feel most secure. I respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and ensure they feel safe, soothed, and seen while you’re away.

About: I love dogs and they seem to love me...cats, too! I am currently looking for pet sitting clients, in my home or the client's home. I live on a peaceful, private and safe property, bordered by the woods and a lake in Brookeville. I have cared for my own pets for most of my life and have also worked as a dog walker and dog hander at a dog daycare center. I have also fostered and rescued dogs and cats. I have an extensive background in unrelated fields, such as music, graphics/video, real estate, property management and working as a home healthcare aide. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Best ~ Mark I can always put my pet clients and visitors first. Outside of working with animals, I work on music, home renovations, read, etc. My home is a large garage that I converted into a guest house with a recording studio. The house where I have pet guests is a private home near the woods. I have over 2 acres where I can walk dogs, plus 80 acres of woods behind the house for hikes. I have security cameras at the property. There is only one neighbor nearby and it is a very quiet and peaceful area. I am completely trustworthy as far as caring for client's pets. I have worked as a guitar teacher and pet handler, various other jobs that required background checks.

Destiny provided perfect care for my two cats. She was accommodating of all my requests and did a stellar job. One of my cats is not the friendliest, but Destiny was able to handle the interactions with patience and understanding. Her updates put me at ease during my vacation, knowing my cats were in good hands.

Yutong did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 Shiba Inu boys while we were out of town for a couple of days. He was incredibly responsive, sent loads of photos and videos, and made us feel very sure that our dogs were happy and well cared for. We will certainly be reaching out to him again to take care of our dogs!

About: I bring a mix of playful energy and reliable care, so pets get both attention and consistency while their owners are away. I naturally tune into each pet’s personality and demeanor—whether they’re excited, shy, anxious, or somewhere in between—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable and understood. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs up to 15 years old, and I’m comfortable following clear instructions for feeding, litter care, and medications when needed. I pay close attention to routines and small changes in behavior, especially after I’ve spent a visit or two with a pet, which helps me quickly pick up on what they need. And yes, I fully believe in zoomies, cuddle breaks, and earning a pet’s trust through snacks and patience. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I’m able to provide consistent drop-in visits and walks while maintaining a flexible schedule that allows me to be reliable for pet parents. I focus on consistency, attentiveness, and following each pet’s routine exactly as provided. During walks and drop-in visits, I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so I can respond appropriately and keep them relaxed and secure. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, leash safety, and home care details, and I take my time getting to know each pet so I can notice what is normal for them and quickly spot any changes. My goal is to build trust through calm, reliable care so pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years now with plenty of experience with most breeds, ages, and personalities! Coming from a family with 5 dogs, I have plenty of experience with handling multiple dogs schedules, feeding times, and medications. I also have plenty of experience with puppies, as well as senior dogs! I walk about 4-5 miles daily, so I am always active and ready to play with your pup! I have a true passion and love for dogs and want to share that to help others! :) I am currently working part time at a restaurant and med spa, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to travel and do overnight stays! I have a fenced in backyard with one mini dachshund at home. I am able to come to your house or bring a dog to me!
