I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including energetic breeds, seniors, and pets that need extra patience or routine. I focus on consistency, calm energy, and clear communication so pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions/concerns you may have. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I have flexible availability and can dedicate focused time to your pets throughout the day. I’m available for overnight stays, extended sits, weekends, and weekday care. I prioritize maintaining pets’ normal routines, including walks, meals, playtime, and quiet time, so their days feel familiar and low-stress. • Your pet’s safety and comfort come first • I follow all care instructions closely • Clean, secure home entry every visit • Reliable photo and message updates • Careful with feeding schedules, leashes, and routines • Calm, respectful environment so pets feel at ease

“Maciyah was simply put, amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog alone with someone he didn’t know and Maciyah couldn’t have made the whole process any more perfect. From the meet and greet until the final day of her stay, she was unbelievably helpful and responsive. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave us updates throughout each day. We had so many nerves about the trip until she got there and all our worries were instantly gone thanks to her professional experience with dogs. She left our home in the exact same way she found it. Couldn’t have asked for a better first time using this service all thanks to Maciyah. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“We have had Randi several times to stay at our house with our senior dog Ellie. Randi takes better care of Ellie than we do! She is very good at giving Ellie all of her different medications and taking her out for several walks during the day, she pays attention to exactly how Ellie is feeling and adjusts her care accordingly. She has great advice on healthy snacks for Ellie and non toxic skin care. She truly cares for our dog and we are grateful to know she is in good hands while we are away! Randi is also great with communication, even if I don’t always respond, she still sends me lots of pictures and updates so I know what’s going on. Thank you Randi!!!”

“Charlotte was absolutely wonderful with my dogs, Mabel and Marty. She stayed at my home for 10 days while I was away, and I could immediately tell when I got back that they had been so well cared for. They were calm, happy, and clearly engaged while I was gone — which says everything. Charlotte is incredibly sweet and attentive, and she went above and beyond in every way. She kept my house completely spotless, left the kindest note, and even had calming music and a dog channel playing on the TV when I arrived home so the dogs were comfortable and relaxed. It was such a thoughtful touch after a long trip. I felt totally at ease knowing my dogs and my home were in such great hands. I would 100% trust Charlotte again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly caring and responsible.”

“Bre did an awesome job keeping me updated with everything and anything she did for my dog Bulleit. She made it really easy to go out of town and not have to have any worry or concern on how he was doing. Will be booking again!”

About: Hello! I am new to using the Rover app, but have several years of experience caring for many different breeds and ages of dogs. I’m an active person & work from home, so I can be attentive to your pet’s needs and regular routine. I am happy to provide references if you’d like to learn more from owners I’ve worked with in the past. I work from home and am available to pet sit overnight and during the day. I regularly provide overnight care, daytime walks & runs, and extended stays. I typically come to the pet and stay in your home. I find this is easiest for everyone and keeps the pet(s) in their normal routine. My preference and focus is on maintaining the same level of care you provide your pet, which includes following their schedule and normal activities. Typically, I start with an in person visit to meet you and your pet and learn about their day to day schedule & needs. I’m happy to do trial-runs if that makes you more comfortable before your time away. I am accustomed to taking care of other house needs while you are away, as needed - mail, watering, etc. I clean my way out of the house before I leave.

“Areatha was amazing with my girls! She accepted the job pretty last minute (late request by me, not a late response by her) and kept me up-to-date with photos. Even cleaned up a few litter messes! Highly recommend!”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. From raising dogs from puppyhood to their senior years to caring for my own beloved cats, I understand the deep bond we share with our pets. My flexible work schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furry family members, ensuring they never feel lonely. Through my years of experience with friends' pets and on Rover, I have cared for animals of all ages and temperaments. I am well-equipped to handle: Diverse Needs: Experience with high-energy breeds, high-anxiety personalities, and pets with permanent physical disabilities. Specialized Care: Comfortable with senior needs, administering medications (pill takers), and managing picky eaters. Routine Consistency: I aim to follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and separation anxiety. Frequent Updates: I know how it feels to miss your fur babies, so I prioritize sending plenty of photos and updates to keep your mind at ease. Whether your pet is big or small, they will receive the same patient, loving care I give my own. I look forward to meeting your best friend! Due to my flexible job, I am able to care for a pet any time of day. It's pretty rare for me to have time restrictions. I always do my very best to maintain your pets daily routine so to keep anxiety levels down and make sure both pet and parent feel comfortable.

About: It started with a cat and two fish as family pets when I was little, and my love of all creatures has expanded to include even rodents and reptiles. I have fostered many dogs, raised and trained puppies & kittens from 5 weeks old, worked patiently with fearful/anxious dogs to gain their trust, nursed dogs and cats through health crises and the struggles of old age and failing health. I am certified in cat & dog first aid by the Humane Society of America. I’m new to the area and currently establishing my routine, which allows me to offer flexible availability. I am available for sitting in your home any day of the week, including holidays. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and take responsibility seriously. I follow instructions closely and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as my own. My goal is always to keep your pets happy and your space well cared for.

“JJ went above and beyond, sending me updates and plenty of pictures of my cat! It was such a relief to know my cat was taken great care of while I was away!”

Pauline & Michael E.

“THE BEST!!!! Kelly gave our animals the best care! We came back and everything was tidy and orderly and our pets were happy and tuckered out from the walks and playtime. She went above and beyond in the winter storm to help shovel while we were gone. Would welcome her back anytime to watch our furry friends!”

Katie S.

“Misty was amazing! My dogs immediately bonded with her, even my dog that is sometimes wary of new people. She has a calming personality, sent photos, and always responded quickly! We all loved her. :) 10/10 would recommend.”

Michelle L.

“Khelsi was fantastic - highly communicative, prompt, and so warm and cuddly with the dogs. I also appreciated that she came through on short notice. We definitely hope to work with Khelsi again!”

About: I love dogs, I have four of my own. They are super spoiled. Have great experience with puppy care, walks are essential to pet health. I can remove bee stingers and aftercare (plenty of experience with this unfortunately). I also have experience with dog sitting. Can’t wait to meet new dog friends 😊 P.S: Please book me I’m trying to make extra cash to send to Mexico to help pay for my Grandpas convalescent care🙏🏽 My afternoons and weekends are free so I’m super flexible with any needs your dogs have. I can also be available last minute if needed. Unfortunately I can’t onboard dogs. I have four of my own at home and one of them isn’t the friendliest particularly with female dogs. You can trust me in your home if you’d like, I have experience with this as well.

About: I’ve worked professionally with dogs in dog daycares in Detroit, Chicago, and New York, and I’ve also spent years as a dedicated dog walker and pet sitter in NYC. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs at once and have safely walked up to four dogs together. I have hands-on experience with leash manners and structured walking, including working alongside trainers who train police dogs. I understand proper leash etiquette, the “heel” command, and how to maintain calm, controlled walks — even with strong or energetic dogs. I’m naturally confident around dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve handled high-energy pups, nervous dogs, senior dogs, and even helped in situations involving illness or end-of-life care. I stay calm, observant, and focused on your dog’s safety and comfort at all times. I have two dogs of my own and truly treat every dog like family. My goal is always safety, a happy dog, and peace of mind for you. I'm a Digital Design contractor who works from home and at my own pace, so I have plenty of time for you and your fur babies and can work around your schedule. I have a large, fenced yard and a playful dog of my own. She is a young great dane, however, so when it comes to pet-sitting in my home, your dog must be comfortable playing with a large (105lbs), energetic, young female. I am happy to come to your home as well. I am respectful of your environment, I keep things clean and tidy, and I'll even water your plants.

“Karina has house sat for me/my pets three times now and each time has been great. She is very respectful of my home and the animals seem to love her. She sends pics daily along with little updates and doesn’t get annoyed by even the neediest creatures (my cat and dog want attention 24/7). I will continue to use her for my pet sitting services in the future!”

“Lauri was amazing. She was wonderful with my dogs, including my senior who has health issues and takes medications. She gave me frequent, comprehensive updates, and sent plenty of much-appreciated photos of my fur babies (and even of my aquarium and flowers). She took excellent care of the household generally, followed all my instructions/requests, and was very professional and communicative. The dogs were lucky to have her. I'll call on her again in a heartbeat!”
