I started by helping neighbors, friends, and family, and it just turned into something I really enjoy doing.I’m super patient and I pay attention to what each pet needs, because I know every dog is different.

I also know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I’ll always keep you updated and make sure you feel good about everything. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I have a good amount of time to focus on your pet and not rush anything. I’m available most days and can work around your pet’s normal routine, whether that’s walks, feeding times, or just hanging out with them.I’m also good with last-minute bookings when I can, so if you ever need help, I’ll always try my best to make it work.

“Sam was an incredible house sitter for our three dogs over the busy 4th of July weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first message, Sam was responsive, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic about caring for our furry crew. He asked all the right questions about their routines, favorite toys, feeding schedules, and even their individual personalities, which immediately put us at ease. We came home to happy, well-exercised, and totally relaxed dogs who clearly had a blast. Sam sent daily updates with photos and videos, so we never worried once. The house was spotless, all the plants were watered, and he even left a little note thanking us for trusting him with our babies. Our dogs (including our anxious rescue) were calm and content when we returned — a huge win! Sam is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets and home, look no further. We’ll be booking Sam again without hesitation for future trips. Thank you so much, Sam — you’re a 10/10!”

About: As an animal lover, I’m passionate about helping families provide their fur babies with everything they need! I have extensive experience in animal care. During high school and college, I provided dog-sitting services for family and friends. I also worked at a boarding facility, caring for a variety of dogs and cats. Additionally, I spent over eight years working at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with animal behavior, medical needs, and general care. I’ve attended multiple training sessions to enhance my knowledge, particularly in addressing behavioral challenges and specialized care. I’ve worked with animals of all temperaments, including dogs with stranger or dog-related reactivity, as well as those curious hounds who love to stop and sniff everything! I’m confident handling strong breeds, as well as senior pets that may need extra assistance. I’m also comfortable administering medications and working with dogs and cats with behavioral or medical issues. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize providing consistent, quality care to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and well taken care of. walks or playtime, I maintain their pet’s established routines as much as possible to minimize stress. I follow feeding schedules, exercise plans, and any specific instructions provided. I keep the space clean, respect the home, and ensure the pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. Communication is also key—I keep clients updated with pictures or messages so they can feel at ease while I care for their beloved pet.

“Took good care of Fang while I was away. Thanks for the updates and pictures”

About: Hello! I am a young woman, in her early twenties, just trying to make some money while I focus hard on school and eventually get into real estate. I have had several pets that lived long and healthy lives. My oldest was a cat named Ellie who live to 19, the second oldest was Kelli, who recently passed at 17. Both pets I and took care of my whole life, and though I miss them every single day, I now have Nala(5) and Zara(2) who love to hang out with me all day. They especially love being ALL IN my business when I’m in the bathroom or doing yoga😭. I’ve been a house sitter for a few different people in my neighborhood. One family i housesat for not only had two dogs(one senior), but also two cats and large fish tank. I can care for Reptiles too💗 I currently don’t work. I deliver food to make money right now as an income while I am in school, Then I possibly babysit a 4 year old few days a week. I’ve a 8 foot privacy fence around my house and two beautiful Maine Coon cats. Their names are Nala and Zara, and they are let outside in our backyard daily. They have all of their indoor/outdoor shots and all of the other shots they need. The preventative flee medicine we have is applied monthly and have every trinket and product to prevent and rid of flees that you could possibly think of. One of my previous older cats was severely allergic so we became professionals at eradicating them in my household.

“We had a wonderful experience with Elasa and Stephen! They took excellent care of both our dogs and cats, including administering medications without any issues. We really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We were delayed coming home and they came back to check on the dogs. We came home to a clean house and, most importantly, very happy and well-cared-for pets. Highly recommend!”

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable caring for energetic puppies, older pets who need a little extra patience, and pets who may take some time to warm up to new people. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and other care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they can stay as comfortable and consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and keep pets appropriately supervised. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so they can feel safe and relaxed while in my care.

About: I grew up around dogs and animals, as we always had dogs at both of my homes. Being around animals from a young age made me comfortable caring for them and taught me how much patience, responsibility, and attention they require. I’ve also had plenty of experience caring for other people’s pets and children. I’ve babysat for families during date nights, helped parents who needed someone to watch their children and animals, and regularly took dogs on walks and made sure they received the care and attention they needed. One of my biggest experiences was regularly caring for a family’s two dogs and two cats while they were away on vacation. I was responsible for making sure all four pets were fed, cared for, and comfortable while their family was gone. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, caring, and comfortable taking on the responsibility that comes with caring for both pets and children. For the most part at the moment I am just doing side jobs until I move in January! I nanny from 4-8 monday through wednesday, but other than that I typically have all day to fit your animals into my schedule!! I will follow all rules set by owners and I will treat your animal with love and like it is my own! I will make sure your dog gets plenty of playing time, plenty of pets (if that’s what they like!), I will make sure they are fed and cared for the way you intend!

“Aubrey was fantastic! She was able to help out with last second sitting. Very responsive and great with our girls. We will be contacting her again!”

About: I have 2 frenchies, one boy and one girl, some fish, and I regularly pet sit for my friends and neighbors. I'm a current student at TCC and looking to save up for my future semesters. I'm working full time in the morning Wed-Sun, and I have classes at TCC Monday - Wednesday until 6 pm. I am available the most in evenings, however I can make time in mornings. While I'm not looking to keep any more dogs at my house, I love to leave everything looking better than I found it. My frenchies get regular baths, cuddles, walks, and treats, so I love to treat other dogs the same way if not better.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats of all ages since the age of nine. My son is 13 and a very big cat lover! He will not be assisting with pet care, but does reside in the home. We have two cats Everest(8) and Harley(5), and one dog Layla(1). Our home features two large automatic litter boxes, one 5ft scratching post with other small ones throughout the home, enrichment toys, beds, pet blankets, and two filtered water fountains available 24 hours a day. Both cats are on feeding schedules, so your baby will also need to be on a schedule- we can discuss what times work best for your pet! Layla is crate trained and does not free roam without supervision. We also have a spare bedroom for pets that need some time to adjust or need more space away from all the uncertainties of a new home. We will treat your baby like our own and accommodate, so they can feel at ease! *Currently taking the month of September off from my primary job, so will be entirely available for bookings through Rover. I work 4-5 days a week, 5-6 hour days. My schedule can be altered as needed because my pets are just as important as any other family member. My pets are very well cared for and prioritized just as any living being should be. They are treated with kindness and care with regular checkups and special care catered to their individual personalities.

About: i can help with multiple animals! I own three dogs and a horse. I am very good at dealing with hyperactive dogs, as well as anxious. I am pretty flexible. I strongly believe that our fur babies should be mentally engaged throughout the day. This includes walks and playtime. I can also work with your pet on training if they are in the process of it being done. Life would be so dull without our furry friends and i am excited to get to know you and your pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, looking forward to hearing from you! I have a seasonal job that begins after memorial day. Pet care is something I've always had a passion for and now I have even more time to dedicate to it. I have 3 dogs (Reese 1yo, Dozer 1yo, and Apollo 8 yo) as well as a horse. At home, I have a doggy door and shaded areas for my dogs to relax out in the yard. I also have gates for certain areas of the home I prefer no animals to be in.
