About: I have been walking an awesome dog almost daily, he is a very energetic and adorable 8 year old Pitbull/Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue mix named Chewy and I have loved every minute. He has taught me how important it is that dogs get their daily walks and experience adventure! Looking to help other pet owners give their dog a hopeful moment in their day by getting outside - rain or shine! I’m currently working part-time, and I am incredibly flexible. I have a very reliable, pet friendly, Subaru that can drive in any weather. I am the type of person that you can text me an hour before and I will be there! Always happy to help in a pinch. I respect all spaces and homes the same. I understand owning pets can be messy and I’m not afraid to step up and help calm the storm however I can. I do not mind showing up to a home to help care for a pet, happy to help in any way I can!
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including overnight stays with large breeds. I also provide daily care for a dog, including potty breaks and administering eye drops. In addition, I have plenty of experience caring for cats. I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved! I work until 12 at the latest, so I’m available for pet sitting almost every day after work. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and will make sure your pets get the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. Whether you need a quick drop in, a walk or even a longer visit. I’m unable to care for pets in my own home because I have two dogs of my own, but I’m more than happy to provide care in your home. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I’ll be mindful of your space, follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“It was great working with Jennifer. She really helped my dad out when he needed it. And Winner (his dog) seemed to have a great time, too. Will definitely work with her again.”
About: I've been around cats and dogs since I was a kid, and right now, I've got my own cat and a cute rabbit. Honestly, animals are my life – I adore them. Whenever my friends need a hand with dog-sitting, I'm the go-to person. Making sure these furballs are happy and safe is like a hobby to me. So, I'm super excited to bring my pet care vibes to Rover and give every pet the TLC they deserve. 🐾 I currently work from home full time and I can usually drop in between meetings. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are my busiest work days so it may be harder to get there in the afternoon. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their safety by pet-proofing my space and maintaining a clean, hazard-free environment. I build trust through regular interaction, playtime, and clear communication with pet owners. In a client's home, I adapt to the pet's routine and surroundings, ensuring safety, cleanliness, and adherence to their schedule. Trust is established by following care instructions, engaging in activities the pet enjoys, and providing consistent updates to the owner. My goal is to create a secure and comfortable environment, whether in my home or theirs, that promotes the well-being of the pets and peace of mind for their owners.
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a teen. I would volunteer to care for pets all the time. I have taken care of all kinds of pets such as dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, salamander bearded dragon and chickens. Tell me what their needs are and I will make sure fur baby is well taken care of. It’s my responsibility to make sure that each fur baby is happy and safe. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your fur baby gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. It gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your fur baby and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners to learn more about your fur baby. I am available to care for your fur baby all day as my main focus is caring for fur babies! I work from my home part-time so I’m always available to provide love and attention to your fur baby. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to play and 1 dog to keep your fur baby company. If needed, I have the ability to crate your fur baby.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, both within my family and for others outside of it. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, sizes, and needs, which has made me comfortable and confident handling all kinds of dogs. In addition to dogs, I’ve regularly cared for cats, including those with medical conditions that required administering medication. I understand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and gentle,especially when pets need extra care and consistency. I also have a dog of my own, so I know firsthand the level of love, responsibility, and attention pets deserve every day. I treat every animal I care for like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from 9 AM to 2 PM four days a week, which leaves me available for morning and afternoon/evening visits, walks, and check-ins. I’m very active and walk about 5 miles every day, so I’m always happy to include dogs in my routine to make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, a longer outing, or just spending time keeping your pet company, I can easily incorporate pet care into my schedule and stay consistent and reliable. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or their own. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care needs. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, along with regular walks and bathroom breaks. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I make sure they get lots of attention, daily walks, and supervision throughout their stay. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including administering medication when required. My goal is always to make sure each pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind.
About: I have been pet sitter for several years. I absolutely love animals of all kinds. Growing up, I have had many dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, rabbits and fish in my life. I had 2 Cockatiel birds that had babies and I helped raise them. There is no animal, big or small, that I don't like. I have had experience with Great Danes to Yorkshire Terriers. I love going on walks with them. I have a nice size yard for them to stretch their legs and I also live near a dog park to take them to if they are known to be friendly with other dogs. I have also had plenty of experience with cats, some of which were friendly and some not so friendly. With me and my family, animals are our family, not just pets. We treat all animals with care and respect and love them as if they are our own. There is nothing more fulfilling in life than an animal in your life. ***Just recently, I was asked if I had any special experience handling Pitt Bull terriers. I do not have experience with pure bred Pitt Bull terriers and have had mix bred pups in my care. I am putting this information out on my profile in case anyone else is concerned about my experience with them and only wants experienced Pitt Bull handlers. ***
About: I’ve had multiple dogs in my home since I was very young. From hunting dogs to small dogs I’ve always loved caring and spending time with them. I’m available weekdays and most weekends. I’m a sports writer working from home. My girlfriend also works from home so there will be two caring people to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I do not have a yard but live in a spacious apartment that is on the first floor. There is plenty of space in the apartment complex for your dog to be walked. There are no other pets in the apartment. I don’t take more than one dog at a time because I like think each dog/owner should have my 100% attention.
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, and fish. I volunteer at the West Milord Animal shelter. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I have experience administering medication to all different animals. I've also worked with and trained puppies. I love all animals and taking care of them is my passion. Pet care is my full time job and I love it. This is a daily passion, woven into my routine with morning walks, playtime, and tailored feeding schedules. I'm flexible, adapting to each pet's energy levels and needs, ensuring they receive consistent attention and a safe, loving environment. Evening routines include calming cuddles and preparing for a restful night's sleep, always prioritizing their well-being and happiness. I offer attentive pet care, tailoring my approach to each animal's needs. My routine includes daily essentials like walks, fresh water, and meals; playtime with toys and training; a safe environment; and plenty of love and cuddles. I keep clients updated with photos and notes.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shannon and Justin have been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Aria! They are reliable, communicative, and clearly care so much about the dogs they look after. We always feel at ease knowing Aria is in such good hands. She gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care during their visits, and they give us great updates each time. It’s such a relief to know we can trust them when we’re at work or away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and loving pet sitters!”
“Christine was super friendly and understanding of my pets needs. She sent adorable pics of my dog while on walks which made me feel better about having to be away. Thank you, Christine!”
About: Every dog has their own rhythm and quirks, and understanding those details is what matters most. I offer dependable, attentive sitting tailored to their regular routine, ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and thoroughly loved in their environment. With a flexible schedule, pet care is my central focus throughout the day. I have open availability for daytime walks, mid-day drop-ins, and overnight stays, ensuring your pet receives steady companionship, structured routines, and plenty of focused attention. Safety always comes first. I adhere strictly to leashing protocols, double-check secure gates, and follow feeding or medication instructions to the letter. In your home, I keep spaces clean and calm, treating your environment with total care and respect.
About: I’ve had pets since I was born and have always cared deeply for their happiness and healthiness. I’ve been asked by many friends, family and acquaintances to watch their animals and have always done a wonderful job. Part of what makes me good at it is that I genuinely love each pet I take care of, even if I only see them once. I’m currently unemployed so I would have all the time in the world to play with, feed, take care of, and walk multiple animals a day. I have a partially fenced in yard as well as a dog that loves to play and nap with other animals. He doesn’t have any playmates really so he would have an amazing time getting to know any animal. If I’m caring for your animal in your own home, I’d be sure to dedicate my all to keeping the house clean and the pets safe and happy!
About: I have always walked and house sat for friends and family members that have multiple dogs, cats, rabbits and more. I have my own dog for over a year, and had family animals for my whole life! I will follow your schedule and pets needs as you instruct. I am comfortable walking on a leash, letting out in a yard, bathing and giving medicine as needed. I am a stay at home mom looking to get out of the house and make a few extra bucks at this time so whatever your need is, I will be there! I will make sure to send photos when I get there and communicate through the entire time. Any issues will be problems solved based on our previous conversations or I will reach out with any concerns.
“Alexis was amazing! She came and took my dog out for a walk at the exact time and sent me the sweetest picture of him on his walk! She was super nice and easy to communicate with, I would recommend her to anyone and I would definitely book her again in a heart beat!”
“Madelyn has been very communicative and supportive while working with Dio! I greatly appreciate her patience and kindness when working with Dio who is nervous around new people. I will definitely be working with her again!”

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
