“Casilya has been a god send. Shes deal with our last minute cancellations and additional requests like a champ. She is flexible whenever we need and has made multiple trips when I accidentally locked her out preventing the walk. She could have gone home and charged us anyways but she didn’t she came back to give my pup a much needed walk after I ran home on lunch to unlock the dog patio.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.

“Another great dog walking experience with Sage! She took my pup on walks this week, was super communicative during a thunderstorm, and sent the cutest pictures of my cat too :) thanks, Sage!”

“LeNai is awesome! She was able to work both with my shy/timid mutt and my social butterfly. She came by to meet my babies and kept in excellent communication.”

“This was our first Rover walk for Coug. He can be nervous with new people, and Rachel was patient, kind, and understanding of his personality. She communicated well and made me feel comfortable knowing he was being cared for. I would happily book with Rachel again.”

About: I have experience with kittens, pregnant cats and senior cats. Your pet will get perfect care and attention ❤️ I would be happy to help you with anything you need.

About: I am a dog lover and empath with 2 rescue pitbulls of my own. They’re favorite cousin is a chihuahua. I’ve loved and taken care of large and small dogs for most of my life. I’m a true introverted home-body. I work from home and so my availability is very flexible. I generally only leave the home for a few hours at a time and/or for short evening/weekend socializing I’m very sensitive to a dog’s mood and natural anxieties and so I don’t take unnecessary risks. Any boarded pets would have their own private bedroom and will be kept separate even for potty breaks in my fenced yard.

About: I absolutely adore dogs and have been around them my whole life. I currently have two small dogs; a 10 year old male chiweenie, Nalu and an almost 6 year old female mini dachshund, Harlie. We have a doggie door that allows our dogs (and yours if they’re small enough) to go in and out as they please. The backyard is fully fenced and there js plenty of room for sniffing and roaming! I currently work part time from home so I have plenty of time to give your dog all the attention, potty breaks, treats, and love they deserve. I have a fully fenced yard and two dogs of my own. I keep my dogs on a schedule to help with stability and predictability. We go on two walks each day and we’d be happy to bring your pup along, too!

About: I have spent most of my 36 years caring for animals of all species. As a pet owner of 7 fur babies, one quilled and several feathered friends, I put pet care at the top of my list. As a business owner, working from home I have plenty of time to devote to committing to caring for your pets. My schedule is flexible. Every pet and pet owner has their own unique preferences and needs. I will care for someone else’s pets following specific instructions requested. Beyond a provided guideline, I will pay attention to each pets body language and environmental need. I will provide safe and thorough assistance.

“Diem was GREAT checking in on our dog and taking her for walks. She is extremely respectful of our home, communicated well, sent sweet notes and pictures on the app, and our dog loved her. Will book again!”

“Dominique was so wonderful! Angus absolutely loved his daily walks with her. Her clear communication and fun pictures made my day! I cannot wait for Angus to have an opportunity to spend time with Dominique in the future!!”

About: Hey everyone! I am a huge animal lover. I have always had a dog in my home whether it be a family dog or my personal dog. Currently, I have two big, high energy dogs of my own a golden retriever and a husky! I love animals and understand needing to feel like your pet is safe and loved while you’re away! I will treat your furry friends just as I would my own 🩵 I am currently on summer break for work and have open availability for scheduling! Doggy daycare is now available me for the summer to book! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly, high energy dogs as well as a one year old son who loves dogs. My dogs are good with other dogs and children as well. They enjoy playing and running around together! I also have a large crate available for us if your animal is used to being crated. We do walk and lots of play time outside in our backyard.

“When we returned home my Speck acted like we were never gone which means he had plenty of attention. Thank you for taking such good care or Speck.”

About: Hi, I’m Ellie! Growing up in North Carolina gave me a lifelong love for animals, and I’ve spent almost 10 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful pups to seniors needing extra care. What sets me apart is my focus on peace of mind and clear communication. I love walking, running, playing, cuddling and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also inclusive and compassionate, non-ableist, and always respectful of boundaries. For me, treating both pets and people with kindness is what makes this work so rewarding. I CAN ONLY DO HOUSE SITTING SERVICES FROM 6AM-6PM. IF NEEDED LATER/EARLIER I MUST STAY OVERNIGHT! My eyesight is bad and I cannot drive in the dark. Caring for animals has always been a central comfort in my life. Working with pets brings me joy, structure, and a sense of purpose, which is why I’ve chosen to pursue pet care full-time through Rover. • My schedule is very flexible! Allowing me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or extended care as needed if discussed! • As an autistic adult, I value clear communication and comfort in my routine, and I do my best to create the same sense of calm and consistency for the pets I care for. I want to be fully transparent: while very rare, there may be times I need to cancel a booking due to personal mental health needs or if a situation feels unsafe. In those cases, Rover's cancellation policy will ensure you're refunded appropriately. Furthermore I’m working to build strong, lasting friendships your fur-babies and you! I truly appreciate your patience and understanding as my client, thank you for considering hiring me despite my struggles. I bring compassion, reliability, and a deep love for animals fit for every client. If you’re looking for someone kind, attentive, and flexible I’d love the chance to work with you and your pups! How I help being the best care to my clients is by build trust, boundaries, strong communication, and familiarity with each person/pet when accepting new clients into my books! I'm always excited to work through challenges, try new things, and learn new things.

“Genuine affection and love for taking care of animals 🕺🕺🐶 my go-to sitter and walker”

About: I’ve raised five rescue dogs and two rescue cats over the years. I currently have two pups: my Lola, a working breed with many VERY important jobs that the future of this country depends on (if you ask her) and Linus, my funemployed couch potato. My dogs are my life and they’re spoiled for it is their God-given right. I extend that same God-given right to every pet I care for :) They deserve the best in life! They’ll get as much walking, snuggling, fetch, or enrichment if they need their minds kept busy. I also sing opera and jazz to them but will stop if they tell me to 🙂‍↕️ I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs: high energy herding/working breeds, snuggly companion breeds, 70 lb lapdogs, dogs with separation anxiety, dogs with eccentricities that we don’t judge - this is a safe space. I’ve watched so many dogs that make me crack up with their antics. I’m also a big cat lover. I have experience with social cats who need to help out when I’m doing yoga or cooking or just want to snuggle and watch movies. I also have experience with divas and independent cats who lurk and come out when and if they feel like it. I know it can be tough when you’re away from your pets, so I do everything I can to keep their routines consistent and comforting. On the first day of a house sit, I’ll usually work a half day so I can spend extra time helping them settle in or get their new person excitement out. After that, I work a flexible 9-5ish from your home, so they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I leave to walk my dogs and run errands but aside from that I’m with your pets. I prefer at least a couple days notice but can occasionally do last minute so don’t be afraid to ask! I’m comfortable pet sitting at your home and will follow the routine your pet is used to. Unfortunately, I can’t offer boarding at my house.

“Have used Chelsea many times now and she always goes above and beyond. Love her and the care she take of my Honey. First choice when it comes to rebooking!”
