About: I follow instructions that are left for the pet, I interact with the pet alot and treat it as my own. I make sure it is given unconditional love and care that all animals deserve!! Part time in the afternoons or on the weekends with advanced notice. During the week after 5pm and on the weekends between 10am-9pm, unless it’s overnight then the hours are more flexible. I am in an enclosed apartment, that is spacious and has a patio for the pet to chill with fresh air. I also have a lot of areas to play around the complex that is friendly to four legged creatures, I live near numerous outdoor amenities including parks and beaches for the pet to explore. The entire neighborhood is very welcoming to pets and it could easily make a play date.
“Brandi took care of my three pups for the day recently. She was very thorough and conscientious. My oldest dog had just had surgery so there was extra concern there about trying to keep them from playing too rough. It also involves keeping them I. Separate sleeping areas so that the other two wouldn’t lick his sutures. She handled all of this extra work very well.”

“"Absolutely incredible experience! Hannah was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our 100-pound Newfoundland, Arto, absolutely adored them. They were reliable, professional, and managed Arto’s size and energy with ease. It’s not always easy to find someone who can handle such a large dog, but Hannah made it look effortless. They kept us updated with pictures and notes, and we could tell Arto was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again—highly recommend!"”

“Laura is absolutely amazing! Not only did she inform us of our baby but took the most amazing care of him! Wish I could give 10 stars! We will definitely be hiring Laura for the future!”
About: From fish and frogs and hamsters to dogs and cats I have had and also taken care of many different animals. I had a yellow lab growing up for 17 years and she was mine and my family’s whole world. Now I spend my time taking care of friends pets when they are away and my neighbors two adorable cats. One of which was adopted as an outdoor stray so he sometimes comes over to my house for some food, belly rubs, and a nap. I was always the go to person for my neighbors for pet sitting and I hope to expand my services and love for animals to a wider range. I work as a chemistry teacher and do not currently have a Summer job so my availability is flexible. There are times where I may have other obligations so clear and advanced communication is greatly appreciated! I am available to visit 1-4 times a day and happy to go for walks twice a day. I will typically visit morning/early afternoon to later afternoon/early evening. But I can stop by at different times if needed such as for specific feeding or medicine times. From past experience I know that every animal is different in both personality and needs. Whether that is feeding at certain times, certain food preparation, or just having a calm demeanor. Just like being a teacher, I am accommodating and would love to provide proper care for each individual animals needs. I also check and double check any directions and will make sure to provide the care that your pet needs.
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets' specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. I have time at the moment to help as many pets as possible. I can try my best to accommodate whatever time you may need. I am unable to host pets in my apartment. So while I miss my own pets back home, I can help some busy owners give some attention and enrichment to their pets.
About: I’ve owned my late dog Rudy for 20 years. My neighbors have relied on me before to pet sit & walk their dogs! As old as Rudy’s lived to be he has required medication, and I have always been able to administer these to him as needed. I also have experience with active dogs; I currently own a 4 year old German Shepherd! I’m working full time with a flexible schedule! I work a 4 day work week and so can be completely available Saturday, Sunday, or Mondays (and am able to alternate Mondays and Fridays depending on the amount of notice I am provided). While I do offer stay-overs, at this point in time if you would like for me to do a stay-over, please note that I will need my dog to come as he has no other caretaker. He is crated when I am not in home (I will bring my own crate). He also eats in his crate. I would like for our dogs to also be able to meet to see how they interact prior to the stay! Important: He is not neutered. Lots of love and attention, plenty of walks and grooming, and my dog is always fed on schedule! Whatever you need, I can do—just let me know your own preferences for your pooch!
About: I have always lived with pets, including dogs and cats. I am responsible for walking, feeding, and taking out dogs of all sizes. I love to make animals feel loved, youthful, and happy. I’m currently a full time student during the fall and spring. I work part-time in the summer. I am available most nights of the summer and some days. I am willing to run around with wild pets, or comfort older/anxious dogs. I can bring toys for your dog to play with and treats for them to enjoy.

Also she is not only trustworthy but treats your dog like her own which builds peace of mind as a pet owner. Dogs absolutely love her, and it’s clear she loves them right back!”

Heather L.
“Heather is the best pet sitter we have ever had! We have a lot of pets with a lot of personalities and needs, she is very mindful and attentive to each of them individually. We have left our 5 cats and big dog with her for both short overnighters and long 2+ week trips and we always come home to happy animals who are still comfortably within their routines. Our dog Bean loves Heather and our finicky cats warmed up to her very quickly. We always felt safe and comfortable leaving our babies in her care!”

Danielle W.
“If you are in need of a carer for your pets, look no further. I have known Danielle for over a decade and in that time I saw her care for her elderly dog, befriend a neighborhood cat who now visits almost daily, and saw her interact with my own animals. The care she gave to her elderly dog is how I want to be treated when I am up there in my years, the neighborhood cat at this point has basically adopted Danielle, and there is no one I would trust more than Danielle to take care of my adorable pup.”
Brian P.
“I have 5 dogs with my wife and I and Brian is always the first person I call when we need a dog sitter. My dogs love him and he always cares for my dogs like his own. There is never a problem when we're away and I know my dogs will be safe with him. It's hard to trust people to care for your dogs the same as you do but I feel Brian goes above and beyond to put my dogs first and give us peace of mind.”
Kirsten S.
“Kirstin is a lovely person who I've known for three years now. She's looked after my dog Henry and his best friend Gatsby many, many times and it's been an excellent experience every time! I'm sure your pet would feel the love and be snuggled up or playing with Kirstin the whole time you're gone. I didn't feel guilty leaving my pet home because I knew he'd be having a great time. She sent pictures and updates without me even asking. 10/10 would recommend.”

Great River cat parents share their Rover experiences
We are very grateful with Steff. Our cat is quite shy with new people, and Steff had the patience and touch to make him feel comfortable. A great service, with daily updates. For sure we recommend her!
Steff was amazing! I booked her services while I was away in Egypt, and having her care for Mylo while I was on the other side of the world gave me so much peace of mind. She was responsive, reliable, and did her best to bond with my skittish cat. I really appreciated the updates and photos of him too. Highly recommend and will book her again in the future! ❤️
