About: I’ve had dogs in my home for 14 years and cats my whole life. I’ve had dogs of small and large sizes and can handle a dog of any personality I am working part time right now but looking to care for cats and dogs on the side through walks or drop ins when available I do not offer in home service at this time. I can provide walks and drop ins only! sorry if this is inconvenient, thank you.

About: Insured with Pet Care Insurance Pet CPR & First aid certified I've been the primary person caring for the household dog for over five years now. I have a keen eye for details and a high sense of responsibility when it comes to the care of those who cannot speak for themselves. I also have experience hosting for multi-day sleepovers and managing the dynamics of a small (2-3 dog) temporary pack. I no longer accept clients who have heavy smells in their homes. This includes, but is not limited to, cigarette smoke, urine, and plug in wall scents. Rates subject to change based on your pets needs. I work full time during the week, but am available all major holidays and weekends. I currently walk and feed my dog twice a day, so adding your pup to the routine would be a breeze! Although I don't have a fenced in yard, there is a safe neighborhood nearby where we walk our dog daily. I have one dog currently who has loved every other dog he's ever met and would be happy to share his toys! We do allow pets on the couches & beds, but would be able to crate at night if that is preferred.

About: My name is Carla, I have over four years of pet care experience (working in pet stores, vet clinic's, and volunteering for local shelters. I also am mom to 3 fur babies of my own: My senior dog Dino, my rescue Darla, and my youngest daughter Appa. I have a genuine love for animals and will ensure that your pet receives the love and care they deserve. I will walk, feed, and play with your pet to help you give them the extra care they need while you work or take that vacation. I enjoy being active especially with animals so long walks are a favorite past time of mine even during the cold weather months. I look forward to working with you and loving your pets! Thank you for your time! Carla C. I work from home during the week and have the weekends free! I have plenty of time to drop-in and walk your pets if needed. My dogs are crated during the day while I work. Darla gets 3-4 bathroom breaks, while Appa is still being house broken. As far as my client’s home, all I need to know is what their routine is and I go from there.

About: We have two dogs that are well loved and I know that your dogs are part of your family as well. Pets deserve to have the best care that is more than meeting basic needs. Your furry friend should feel safe, be cared for and enjoy playful interactions while you’re away on business or vacation. I will be attentive to their cues, will spend time playing and making sure their well being is top priority. Most importantly, I will follow your instructions to make sure that I provide seamless care for your pet that meets your needs and follows your household and pet’s routine uninterrupted. I have just graduated college so I am available immediately. I’d love to help in anyway I can. Please contact me if you have any questions! I can visit your home multiple times per day, or I can come and spend time at your home so your pups can be fed, walked and played with. Please contact me if you have any special requests!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have watched friend’s, family’s, and neighbor’s pets for many years. I’m finishing up my PhD in coral reef conservation, so I’m doing Rover to make some extra cash while getting in some work breaks with some furry friends! I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible. I work part time and my hours are flexible so I can accommodate your pets schedule. Happy to go for walks during the work day or on weekends and can feed any time of day. I’m happy to come to your home to take care of your pets, but cannot host them at my current place. I always treat your home with full respect, and happy to help with other housesitting related things like getting your mail or watering plants.

About: Hello ! My name is Annie and I am a long time owner and lover of pets. Since I was 10 years old, I have pet sat for neighbors and families when they went away on vacation or other various outings. As a child, this taught me valuable skills on learning to care for our beloved furry friends, as well as gaining confidence in my abilities to care for different breeds. I have carried these skills and abilities well into my adulthood. I would love to be the helping hand that you need for your pet ! I am currently working as a nanny part-time Mon-Fri. I am available every evening after 4pm. Regarding the weekends, I am available anytime that you need me. My weekend availability is very flexible. I would feel most comfortable caring for the clients pet in the comfort of their home because that is an environment that they know and love. Additionally, I do not have a fence at my house so I think that would be safest option for both the sitter and client.

Samantha was terrific. Chewy our 90+lb Rottweiler/hound absolutely adored her. Samantha was very reliable and communicated with us everyday. She walked Chewy for 8 days while we were gone. My parents who were watching Chewy while we were gone liked Samantha also.

About: I absolutely LOVE dogs! I’m the type of girl to ask you what your dogs name is and if I can pet them! 🥰 Since I was born, I’ve been surrounded by dogs. We always had several family dogs, all of my friends had dogs, my neighbors had dogs, etc. I grew up taking care of everyone’s dogs - neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I will be using Rover as a side job. I will work on certain days each week and it will be scheduled around my full time job. I understand that to a lot of people, animals are their best friend, their baby, their child… because of this, I will work 100% with you to accommodate your needs to make you comfortable!
