“Emalee did everything as instructed. I only wish she mentioned the smell of uneaten food rotting in the kitchen trash can, so it could have been properly disposed of outside.”

About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been an important part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese poodle, and helped take care of her as she grew into her senior years. Most of my family members have dogs, and we consider them as family, not just pets. Within the last year, my husband and I got a new puppy, and I'm adoring being a dog mom! With this in mind, don't be afraid to ask if I'm willing to watch your young puppy. Age is not a problem for me, and I am happy to come alongside your training process if you wish. I guarantee that your fluffy friend will be in the best of hands as you come to me for your pet-sitting needs. I will be sure to offer frequent photo updates and check-ins, and my puppy would love to come with me as I care for your pet, providing them with a new fluffy friend! I would love to make quality pet care my part-time job this summer, so I am happy to work with your schedule. I am available any day of the week except for Sundays. My routine with my own pup includes lots of exercise (to get that puppy energy out) and snuggle time too. However, I am happy to cater to your dog's age and stage of life. While walking your furry friend, I will be extra mindful and only take them on routes I know are trustworthy and safe. In your home, you can trust me with all of their needs and to be respectful of your family's space. I will send frequent updates and photos of your pet, and will do my very best to blend in with your pet's pre-established schedule, so their needs will be more than met.

About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals growing up from horses to cat and dogs. I’m very confident in walking any dog any size, since in my school we’ve learned to adjust and adapt on animals behavior. I also can do any grooming needed (nails, brush teeth, bathe) if you can’t or too wary. I’ve also have well experience in cats. Ive owned cats since I was 15 so if needed I can also do any grooming needs as well. With senior dogs I know they may be more work than a normal dog but I’m up to the task without a second thought! I’ve had much experience with senior dogs. I understand that having animal comes with time management and that’s where I can help! I am current in vet tech school so I have the weekends available and Friday after 4:30pm. I am also willing to go after school mon-Friday after 4:30pm. For the animals in my house they get treated just like a member of the family! I make sure my cat and dog are always content, I take my dog out on daily walks and ensure my cat gets his daily play time. For the animals of your home they will be treated just the same.

“Emma is wonderful with our cats and just the sweetest person. We are so thankful to have found her and to have her available when home from school!”

About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.

“Megan took great care of my cat over the holidays. This is our 2nd time using her for drop ins and will be using her again in the future. She was very sweet to my kitty and put up with all the questions I had. Thank you Megan!”

About: Hi! My name is Ruthie, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life (& have adopted my best friend of three years!) From training puppies to caring for senior dogs, I have experience with all stages of a pup’s life. I’ve also pet-sat for family dogs on and off for about two years and have had my own dogs for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I’m patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I also have experience with basic training and can reinforce commands if needed. Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine since I work part-time and take all my university classes online. This gives me the flexibility to schedule walks, playtime, and check-ins without conflicts. I can easily adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care through check-in visits and dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort, ensuring they feel safe and well cared for while their owner is away. Please let me know any important details about your dog or anything I should prepare in advance to help them feel as comfortable as possible.

“Taylor has made such a difference for us as we go on vacations. We know Ollie is not only cared for but loved! And he loves her. He’s so comfortable with her that he gave her an attitude when she had to close his favorite window due to rain lol 😆. Taylor is a blessing!”

“Erika did an amazing job with my dog. It was my first time using Rover and I was hesitate about the process. Erika easily worked me to get both me and my dog comfortable and ready for her drop in visits.I came home to a happy dog! I would highly recommend Erika, I will be using her again! :)”

About: Tyson was my first dog I got when I turned 17. We traveled everywhere together & he showed me how loving an animal can truly be. I am the first one my friends call to watch their animals. I absolutely love taking them on walks & I will love your fur baby like my own. I am currently working part time. I usually work around four to five days a week. And Im usually off Saturdays thru Mondays. Give or take I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.

“Trinity was a life saver. Our house-sitter left early and locked one of our cats in the room and trinity was able to come over for a drop in last minute. She cared for our cats, sent lots of pictures and gave them all the love that we weren't able to while away. We weren't able to meet and greet before hand but during the conversation she just made us feel like she had our home and cats in our best interest! Definitely booking her for regular drop ins.”

About: I have grown up with cats my entire life. We always had a house full of cats! Now I am on my own and have 2 cats of my own. Cats have been my favorite animal since I was a little girl. They all have such different personalities and are full of life. It's my dream to own a cat sanctuary one day. I will play with your cat, pet him, snuggle and give him all the love in the world! I have so much experience in how to deal with them in doing their litter, wet food, kibble, changing their water, etc. I also have much experience in dogs. I grew up with a therapy dog and have experience in walking, feeding and playing with dogs! I work fully remotely, which allows me the flexibility to tailor my schedule to your needs. Whether you’d like me to stop in for a couple of hours in the morning, drop by during the day, or stay into the evening, I’m happy to accommodate. I can easily bring my laptop, set up, and stay for as long as you'd like me to spend time with your babies. I will be very patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or scared. Pets are sensitive to change and may be missing their family. I will be sure to maintain their schedule as much as possible. I will send lots of pictures and videos to you daily to help keep you comfortable. I will also write out each visit via text or notepad to let you know how much they ate, drank and how often they went potty between each visit.

About: I’ve had dogs, bunnies, and other animals my whole life! I just graduated college, and am looking for a good way to spend my extra time right now:) I currently have a very open schedule, so there’s not much that wouldn’t fit into my routine right now. Pet care would be the perfect addition to my routine:) I have a lot of experience caring for pets in other peoples homes. I love taking dogs for walks, and playing with them especially when the weather is nice!

About: I am a multi-business and farm owner south of Chicago. I have lots of animals and lots of love. I used to use this app to walk, and care for other pets. Now I am just a customer. I work a remote job, so I am extremely flexible with your needs. I take care of my cats bright and early and throughout the day. I practice proper training, obedience, proper health care, lots of love and more. I expect my care provider to do the same for fur babies.

About: I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am a responsible, energetic, caring person that would love to take care of your pet! Your pets are part of the family, just like mine. I have experience dog sitting small to medium sized dogs. I am not strong enough to walk or care for larger dogs (unless of course they are great on the leash walking). I do not discriminate against any kind of breeds. I have two dogs of my own that are chihuahua and chihuahua mix. I have cared for small chihuahuas to larger pit bulls. Just message me with your needs as I work part time as a dental hygienist so I will work around my hours. I, also, volunteer at a wild animal rescue where I get to care for raccoons, foxes, deer, possums, squirrels and rabbits under the supervision of a veterinarian. I love animals of all kinds! Caring for animals is a passion of mine !

About: I am an animal science student with a concentration in animal behavior and wellbeing. In the agricultural community, I raised and showed an award winning rabbit. Last semester, I was an animal care intern at Columbian Park Zoo. I have nearly a decade experience working in pet care. In addition, my family fosters animals. I am seeking employment in pet care to fill my spare time with a furry companion. I have a flexible schedule in the morning and evening during the week. I am available Thursday-Sunday for weekend stays. When I was in third grade, my family opened our home to foster animals. Throughout the last 11 years, we have cared for animals with parvo, double ear infections, malnourishment, etc. The foster organization trusts us to nourish these animals back to health and prepare them for their forever homes. When I visit client homes, I spend quality time with animals providing them with enrichment. I pride myself on reliability, my clients trust and depend on me to care for their beloved pets. In addition to my experiences, my coursework focuses on animal behavior and wellbeing which helps enhance my services.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid and love running, walking, and playing with animals all the time. I’ve cared for pets ranging from small dogs to large dogs of different breeds and ages. I’ve cared for puppies my dog has had and I’ve cared for a dog until it’s end of life. I’m currently a full time college student with with classes Monday through Friday and I work every other weekend. Monday I have one class from 10-10:50 am and have a completely free day other than that. I love going on walks and runs any time of day! I care for pets in clients homes by ensuring I strictly follow their rules. I would make sure to keep a constant eye on the dog and do only what I am asked to do.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. In my spare time I volunteer with a pitbull rescue but in the past I have volunteered with several shelters. I have an anxious dog so I understand the importance of patience and routines. I also understand the stress that leaving your animals can create, so that’s why I’m here to help you feel less stress and more confident in your animals care while you’re away! I work full time but I get home by 5:10 at the latest and have an hour lunch break. On weekends I only work occasional Saturday’s until noon. I understand the importance of feeling comfortable opening your home to a stranger but prior to booking we can schedule a meet up to ensure you are as comfortable as possible! I am happy to provide check in, feedings, refilling water, bathroom breaks, walks, and of course lots of loving if they are comfortable with that. I’m happy to help in any way!

About: In the past I’ve had foster dogs from the shelters and they would ask me for more help if they were needing extra help with the dogs. I’m available almost anytime after noon. I am looking for a new thing to start doing I love animals and I have experience with watching dogs and cats. If needed I can train the dogs and watch the house if my clients need me to. I can clean up messes if an accident occurs.
