“Elizabeth took excellent care of my cat and rabbits the second time while I was away. She accommodated all my requests and made sure all of them stayed happy. 🥰🤩She truly cares for the furbabies and it shows! :)”


“Great communicator! Even came by on his own time to meet the dogs for a meet and greet. Look forward to having him take care of our pups again.”


“Elaina is the absolute best! I have used her services repeatedly now, and could not be more grateful to have found her here on Rover. She is extremely accommodating, responsive, and genuinely a kind human. Someone you would want to leave your pup with, and feel very comfortable doing so! I could not recommend Elaina enough.”


About: We are a family of dog lovers! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and though we don’t have pets currently, our love of dogs keeps us pet sitting and dog walking around our neighborhood. We have 3 young children who absolutely adore dogs, and love taking responsibility in taking care of them when we are pet sitting. We have a lot of snuggles to give your pups, and lots of walks to take them on, too! I am a stay at home mom so our schedule is pretty flexible! We are up early, and outside often. Any timing should be fine for us to work around. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your fur baby. We can play fetch with your pup, give them lots of snuggles, and plenty of walks!

About: As a kid, I grew up with a Boxer named Mimi, and fell in love with dogs of all breeds and sizes. As I work towards my goals to raise two great boys and become a children’s book creator, joining Rover is a way I reconnect with a past love. I’ve been with Rover for a little over a year and have been enjoying every walk. I am fully attentive as I walk or jog through your neighborhood--avoiding yard treatments and anything that can be ingested is of utmost importance to me. I would ensure your pet’s face, paws, and anything else that’s needed are wiped after our adventure and refresh his/her water bowl. And yes, I love taking pictures and sharing my experience with your loved one. I also continue to use and learn principles from my time with dogs, other pet parents, and materials by Cesar Milan and Brandon McMillan, to improve my ability to help care for your pet. I look forward to meeting and working with you on your pet-parent journey! I am currently a homemaker with two young children. I would be available when the kids are in school: 9:30am - 3:00pm. I am open to other hours, just send me a message. I do not have pets currently. I would take care of your pets and property as if they were my own. We would essentially be neighbors and I believe in teaming up to create a great community for our families.

“I am so lucky to have gotten Alexandra to pet sit for me! She was able to help me out last second and was incredible at communicating throughout my trip! My 2 cats loved her and I would 100% book again!”


“Linda was great with our dogs. She sent us photos of them and gave us an update on her visit. Upon meeting her, our dogs were instantly in love. We feel worry-free knowing she is going to tend to them when we are away.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my entire life. I have my own dog whom I have trained and take care of. I have worked for Camp Bow Wow where I took care of dogs of all sizes. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day to include regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and check-ins to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it's early morning walks or evening cuddles, I make sure their needs come first. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or training cues. I keep their space clean and safe, and I always give updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort.

“Kate F was more than accommodating! She gained the love of our pup instantly and she really listened to what we feel we wanted our dog to have! I was nervous about leaving for the day and she gave us peace of mind and was trustworthy and loving! 10/10 recommend”


About: I have decades of experience caring for pets, mostly my own. I grew up in a house full of dogs and have maintained that my whole life. Also had a great cat, hamsters and other pets. I believe animals deserve the best care possible as our “best friends” and beloved family members. I have extensive experience too in customer service and am highly solution-oriented. If you need me in a moments notice, always happy to do it if available. I have many years of experience also serving on boards at various animal shelters as well as volunteering to walk/care for dogs and cats and these locations. Even ran the NYC marathon as a top fundraiser for the ASCPA. My priorities in order are: god, pets, then people. Think I’ve got that in good order! 🥰 Currently between full time jobs and looking for a change of pace as well as to build a business that can extend into charitable resources beyond my income to help animals in need. I will follow your instructions exactly as detailed as well as use my years of experience should something occur or I notice a need/potential issue. My goal is to make the visit as enriching for your pet as possible. I think they sense that on me as animals tend to gravitate toward me, even the most shy and skittish. We live a nice life but my dogs probably even better than I. I provide them with superior care and lots of love. Animals are very perceptive and so I work to extend that same level of connection to all animals I meet, which would include yours if you select me for your pet care needs. Thank you!

“Mackenzie was really great! Prioritized my cat and tried to play with her even though my cat is a little shy. She was also very responsive to questions and flexible to any last minute changes!”

About: Hi! My name is Jennifer. I am 33 years old . I majored in business. I am a fun, responsible, caring, loving person. I love animals more than anything!

Medically- I know animal CPR. I know how to give a pet medication. I have taken care of very elderly dogs, handicapped dogs. Deaf or blind. there are pets who are both deaf & blind and I am extra on top of them. I am used to very energetic dogs! So, that is not an issue. I have dealt with very shy & scares dogs as well.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 5 years and I love it everyday. I have a 6 year old dog named Libby and she is the best I’m currently working part time so I have most of the day after school. I love cardio and dogs so what’s more to ask for Only walking.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. My first dog was a Golden Retriever, Max, who is the sole reason for my love for dogs to this day. I also had another Golden named Mickey who we sadly had to put down last year at the age of 16, and a Pitbull Schnauzer mix named Rocky who passed away within a few months of Mickey, at the age of 15. The unconditional love you receive from them is priceless. I will give your dog so much lovin' and I love being active so I will keep the pups running around and busy!

“When my dog Charlie was around 2 months old, Susan volunteered to watch him. Charlie stayed with her and her family for one week. During that time she welcomed Charlie into her home and made him feel comfortable. She bathed him, fed him, took him on walks. She also let Charlie play with her young sons. While I was away Suzanne made sure to update me by sending pictures and kept me informed on how Charlie was doing. Thanks to Suzanne’s help I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Charlie was in good hands. It is wonderful to be able to call Suzanne my neighbor and know that she is there for me.”
