About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with feeding, walking, and playing with fur babies of all ages. I am currently in my clinical year of PA school. Unfortunately, I don’t have a set schedule as every few weeks my rotation changes and I get a new schedule. However, I am usually free on weekends and am willing to get up early or stay up late any day of the week to care for your pets. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have 1 dog at home who is very friendly as well as two cats who are shy and are usually hiding, but don’t mind other animals.

“Melissa was amazing with our Stella! This was our first time using rover and Melissa made us feel comfortable and secure that Stella was in great hands! We will definitely be using Melissa again and can’t recommend her enough! :)”


“Very good communicator with a very sweet personality, she's very careful with a nervous puppy's space. Thank you for your care of my very, incredibly nervous boy”


“Jess took care of my pup Leia while I was away for the day at a baseball game and sent me update photos each visit and some comments on how the visit went. Leia had a lot of fun. Will definitely use Jess again!”


“Julia is absolutely wonderful with our elderly cats. They instantly took a liking to her. We felt extremely comfortable with her the moment we met her. She is fantastic, polite, on time and overall a great person with a natural ability to take care of animals”


“Sharon took great care of our pups! She did three drop in visits a day. Our doggies loved her and she sent us lots of cute pictures from each visit! She always kept me in the loop and communicates well. We will definitely be asking her to watch our dogs in the future!”


“Jennifer was awesome! Kept with our feeding schedule and shared lots of pics. Both warm and professional! Would absolutely invite her back for another sit!”


About: New to Rover but not new to pet-sitting. I have had pets or been around animals my entire life (including puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, fish, rabbits, and birds) and they have always been considered a part of the family. I love every pet as if they’re my own- prepare for the custody battle 😅. lol jk. In all seriousness, your pets comfort is important to me and I am confident they will feel right at home. I have experience with puppies and all the beautiful challenges that come with that stage, as well as senior care. I have also had experience with adopting my own dog with reactive tendencies which has made me hyper aware of the importance of dogs social cues both with animals and people, and reading their body language/boundaries. Safety for all parties involved is always my top priority. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Walks availability: Anytime Sun-Tues, (Wed-Sat hours fluctuate, will need to discuss exact needs.) Doggy daycare availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) Boarding availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) I currently have boarding slots set up to 4 at a time but feel free to contact me regarding specific availability needs. For example, does your pet require an environment without other animals? Do you have 2 dogs but 3 cats? Based on your pets specific needs, we can discuss alternate solutions. I do require meet & greets for any new clients to ensure it’s a good fit and safety requirements are met for all. We can discuss what works best for your pet. As long as animal is house broken and properly trained, I am flexible with crate/uncrated visits/boarding. My apartment complex is dog friendly but unfenced so would require on leash walks. Property also includes fenced in dog area, or I am open to dog park runs if that is your preference. If scheduling crated boarding, will need to provide own crate.

“Very patient and treats my dog like his own!”


About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs and even had three pigs when I was younger. Over the years, I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors whether that meant walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them love and attention. I now have two dogs of my own who I walk and care for every day. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Your pet will be safe, happy, and treated like family in my care. I currently work a part-time job and am home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and boarding on weekends and evenings. Your pup will get lots of love, attention, and playtime while you’re away. I have a spacious 1.05-acre yard with a secure Fido fence system, my dogs wear collars for safe outdoor time. The pool area is also fenced in with a grassy area for dogs to play. I have two very friendly pups: an 8-year-old teddy bear Yorkie and a playful 1-year-old mini Dachshund. I always ensure clean, supervised environments and can crate your dog if needed. Your fur baby will be treated like family in a safe, loving space.

“Sydney is highly responsive and has a natural love for dogs. Being away for several days I felt 100% at ease that Maya was in great hands. I would highly recommend.”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life through all 24 years. I started helping care for them around the age of 10, including two high energy Australian Shepherds, two cats, a rabbit, and exotic fish. I’m very active, love going on walks, and have been a long distance runner for years. I completed the New York City Half Marathon in spring 2024. I’m happy to do multiple walks a day or long mile walks. I’ve always been an animal lover raised in a home where pets are family. I want your pets to feel just as loved and happy as mine. I work part time and take online classes, so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available for drop ins to give your pets some attention and for dog walking. I’m free Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday any time, Wednesday before 2 PM, and Friday before 11 AM. I am not available Saturday, and Sunday availability varies. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs. I can bring treats if your pet is treat obedient and will always ask about allergies, medications, or anything else important to their care.

“Jason has been absolutely incredible. We needed someone to let our 2 pups out 3x a day and we were in a time crunch. This was my very first time using rover so I was a bit hesitant. Jason came and met the pups and us before booking and right away he had such a professional and mature demeanor. So happy we found Jason and will be using him again for sure!”


“Jaclyn has been my go-to sitter for my cat for the last year. She’s incredibly reliable and I always know my cat is in great hands when she pops in to visit her. She takes great care of her, plays, cuddles, feeds her, and freshens up her water and litter box. She always provides me a great recap of her visit too! Pepper and I love Jaclyn!”


“Brianna was very responsive, easy to communicate with and provided great updates during her visit. We will definitely use her to help with Gigi again.”


About: If you require a morning walker or need someone to run a few miles with your energetic dog, I am your person. I have experience with various types and sizes of pets. I am also very meticulous about their needs and yours. Please let me know their preferences and behaviors so I can best meet their needs. As a student my schedule varies but it I am typically available for morning and afternoon services such as walks and check-ins. I could also accommodate afternoons services depending on the week and request. My weekends are typically free unless specified otherwise. Available to do overday dog sitting on weekends (Friday, Saturday) If you are requesting drop-in services at your house, please let me know what your pet requires. I can offer play time, refill water and food, medication administration, brushing, and complete certain household tasks. Occasionally, if I do overday dog-sitting, your dog will have a fenced-in backyard to run around in.
