I have a furry companion of my own, taking care of him is one of my favorite things to do everyday. I always have time to play with him and take a run or walk with him.

About: I have a catahula that is now 8 years old I stayed up with day and night caring for him at 7 months old from parvo. I have grown up with multiple dogs at a time throughout my life. I have also saved many dogs off the side of the road and made sure they were given to a forever home. I don't have a preference in a size of dogs I enjoy all sizes and personalities I believe every dog is important and I think of them as children. My mom has 2 dogs that I keep when she goes out of town for business but they don't get in the way of my scheduling. I love all dogs the same I just prefer to not work with aggressive dogs. If pick up is after 8 pm will be charged a extra night I am a stay at home mom so I have open availability. I’m always home unless taking my kids to and from school or out running errands I have a fenced yard and 2 other dogs to keep your company. I also have 2 toddlers and 2 babies to keep them cuddled and loved!

About: ***I did just have a baby so I may not be taking certain bookings for reasons such as distance, time, and whether the animal is friendly with children. Thank you!!*** Hi there! I'm Paige, and my passion for animals has been with me for as long as I can remember. I've always been the one to befriend any creature, big or small – yes, even bugs! Over the years, I've been entrusted with the care of friends' beloved pets, and I've relished getting to know each one's unique personality. My experience is extensive, having worked in two reputable kennels and a lively doggie daycare. On top of that, I have regularly volunteered at a local farm, so I'm no stranger to getting my hands dirty in the name of furry friends. When you choose me, you're not just getting a pet sitter – you're getting someone who will go the extra mile to understand and meet your pet's needs. Your furry family member will feel right at home with me. Let's create a pawsitive experience for your pet together! I am currently staying at home raising my baby boy and trying to achieve my other main goal in life, caring for animals full time. I hope to one day open a facility of my own, most of my time is fully open for rover opportunities. I currently have three wonderful pets in my life: Sonny, my dashing 5-year-old cat, Night my handsome 1 yr old cat, and Lucky my energetic 1yr old pup (🌈 Abby, my lovely 13-year-old dog🌈). Caring for them is a central part of my daily routine. I'm always on the lookout for the well-being of my fur babies, just as I would be for yours. I find joy in interactive playtime with my kitty and enjoy taking my dog on exciting adventures, including trips to the dog park, long walks, and even hikes! My approach to pet care varies depending on the setting. When it comes to walking dogs, whether it's in my home or at a client's place, I prefer taking leisurely strolls around the block. My top priority is ensuring the comfort and happiness of my furry companions, both at home and with clients. I'm committed to going the extra mile to provide exceptional care for your beloved pets, just as I do for my own.

“Neysha is very great. I love interacting with her. She took water for the dog with her so she could feed my dog water. That’s super thoughtful. She gave my dog water break when she walked him so he didn’t get thirsty to death after walking. Super sweet. Will come back to book her again.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs belonging to family, friends, and coworkers, providing dependable and attentive care while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic routines, and making sure each dog feels safe and loved in my care. Fridays and Saturdays are typically more flexible for me, allowing for extended time, additional walks, and more one-on-one attention for your dog happy, active, and comfortable. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay attention to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet, relaxed setting, I provide patient, attentive care to help them feel right at home.

“Sheridan pours such love into Coco! I love getting the pictures and seeing how my sweet dog is so happy.”

About: I grew up helping take care of the family pets; we had cats, dogs, fish, & rabbits! I’ve always loved taking care of pets and will never say no to an opportunity to meet new ones :) I’m currently unemployed due to the turbulent job market, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets. When I’m not home taking care of my own animals, I’m out looking for work or a new place to volunteer. I’m always making sure there’s no choking hazards on my pets toys & making sure their water & food are always topped off. They always get extra love & brushing at the end of the day. (And maybe a couple extra treats if they’ve been good)

About: I’ve been caring for animals, both personally and professionally for more than 30 years. I’ve worked closely with trainers, vets and clients to learn and properly care for a variety of animals and their humans. I am partial to large breeds, but will cuddle and play with all paw sizes. I’m completely comfortable with giving meds, going to vet appointments, special needs, etc. I’m a reliable pet/ house sitter, as I treat both as they’re my own. After many years of opening restaurants, traveling as a consultant and managing an exclusive resort clubhouse, my primary job is now organizing homes/ offices and often people’s lives. From pets to meal preparation, holiday shopping and home decor, I can help make your life easier! Recommendations available upon request. My full time job is currently on hold, so I have open availability at the moment. Let me help make your life easier and your pets happy I prefer to care for pets in their own home, as it’s far less stressful for them. I treat all pets and homes as if they are my own

“Highly recommended on time and caring towards our fur baby”

About: I’ve always cared well for my pets - most of which were dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, rats, mice, and when I was young this included whatever wild animals I snuck into the house - snakes, frogs, lizards, worms, ants, spiders, baby birds and bunnies and so on. I still remember my pet's names: Maggie, Romeo, Alice, TJ, Corky, Tommy, Bruce, Annie, Guy, Quito, Slinky, Tilly, Tikka, Raja, and Jet... and some of the wild ones, including "George Cooney" the baby raccoon. I'm also familiar with many different types of products and methods associated with the care of both domestic and wild animals. I spent six weeks volunteering at Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue in AZ. The work included things like cleaning kennels, holding and comforting rescue dogs during medical procedures, walking them, training them, bathing, feeding, and breaking down kennels. During this time I worked to rehabilitate a 95 lb blue pitty named Vinnie. The goal was for him to be a bit more gentle and easy to walk. He spent the first 2 years of his life pulling skateboarders. To him, a leash meant “pull hard.” His training involved daily sessions of at least 45 minutes for about six weeks. By the end he would reliably respond to “heel, sit, paw, down, come, and stay.” He could also lay down and stay put calmly for up to an hour, even off leash if need be. This is what I do for work, so I will try my best to be available whenever you need me to be. Wherever schedule conflicts arise, I try hard to be easy to work with. My pups don't use a crate but in the past I've had pups that preferred it. I let them choose as they grew up. For your pups, I will do as you ask, just as I have for every pet I've ever cared for that did not belong to me... Give me a list, and I will carefully follow your instructions while being a good caretaker, instructor, exerciser, and friend for them. My routines allow me to be flexible with my schedule, which makes it possible to provide for your pet’s needs at the time that’s most convenient for you and for them. I understand that different people and pets have different needs and will care for them the way in which I am instructed. I love the animals in my care and want to make sure they and you are comfortable with the way I’m doing things.

About: I have had both cats and dogs all my life and love interacting with all kinds of furry friends. I took care of my senior childhood dog until last year. I made sure he was happy and got the exercise he needed safely and comfortably. I am a UH grad and currently caring for my little cat, Piper. I have a pretty open schedule at the moment. Let me know what you need and I will most likely be able to accommodate. I am recovering from a knee surgery in October and am looking to use dog walking as part of my recovery. I have a car and a transportation crate for medium/large dogs. I can make sure they get potty breaks/walks at intervals of your choosing, give medication, have playtime, and care for your animal just like you would.

“Kimberly was so sweet and communicative about everything from finding my apartment to my dog’s preferences. I could tell my dog had a great walk with her when I got home. Would highly recommend!! :)”

About: I have been a dog owner for 8 plus years. Currently I have 4 rescue dogs. Dogs bring me joy and I love their different personalities. I enjoy playing with them, walking and having cuddle time. I currently have older kids that don’t require much time thus available during the week and weekends to help out with pets. My schedule is flexible. I have a large fenced in yard and a doggy door that allows my fur babies to go in and out as they please. I also watch the dogs as they are outside.

About: I’ve been on Rover for about a year now, but I’ve been caring for pets much longer through word-of-mouth and outside bookings. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels—from calm seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, crate training, and giving pets the attention and love they need while their owners are away. I’m a college student taking classes online and living at home with my parents, so my schedule is very open and flexible considering I try to do this pretty full time! That means I can provide walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays with lots of availability—especially during the weekdays. Your pet won’t be waiting long for care or attention! The only places I really travel to during bookings are to other drop ins and the gym but I can ensure not to be gone longer than 4-5 hours! I treat every client’s home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I always follow any rules or instructions you leave, keep your pet’s routines consistent, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. I’m very mindful of safety—whether that’s locking up properly, keeping pups secure on walks, or making sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t.

About: I’m a responsible young adult who’s been taking care of pets for 8+ years. I’ve been caring for all kinds of dogs, from German shepherds to teacup golden doodles. I’m currently an online college student and will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will be available to work weekdays and weekends. I have a one acre fenced yard perfect for running around. Five small dogs to keep your dog company. I do have a dog pen if needed.

About: I have had animals my entire life from cats and dogs to horses and goats. I work in healthcare and can follow diet and medication instructions easily. I am currently available everyday. I can sit late afternoons or evenings as well. I also do overnights and weekends. If you need drop-ins or walks I can arrange that too. I have a 4 acre yard including a large fenced in area and also a smaller kennel area if needed for outside animals. Inside animals are welcome as I have an extra room with bedding, toys, leashes, and crates. If your animal does not use a crate for sleep that is fine also. They can sleep on their bed or pillow in the common area.
