About: I have over five years of pet sitting experience and began caring for pets back in high school, where I built a pet sitting business of my own. Through that experience, I learned how important reliability, communication, patience, and personalized care are for both pets and their owners. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, multiple-pet households, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing companionship. I also have many past clients in Florida who would gladly speak highly of my care and professionalism. As a pet owner myself with two dogs and one cat, I understand that pets are family and deserve genuine love and attention. I will be relocating to Homewood in mid-May and will have a very flexible summer schedule while taking online classes. This allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and last-minute needs. Because I travel by bike or electric scooter, I’m focusing on nearby clients so I can provide dependable, punctual care and consistent availability. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household preferences to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings are secure at all times. I provide gentle attention, exercise, companionship, and updates so owners feel confident knowing their pets are in caring and reliable hands.

Kristen is wonderful with my German Shepard. Kristen treated her as if she was her own pet. I am very lucky to find a great Rover walker for my pet. I would definitely recommend her and use her services on the future!

Mayela was great with our dogs and even went the extra mile bringing our runaway cat in and cleaning up after him. She just went above and beyond all our expectations.

Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.

Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊

About: Ive owned so many variety's of pets from cats and dogs to gerbils, hamsters, mice, and turtles from 8-18 years old. I love animals and will always put their well-being first in any situation. I am currently a student at Fox working towards my Veterinary Technicians License. I speak Spanish and English! I am currently a full time student-but am available between the hours of 5pm-9pm after school hours and available between 6am-8pm on weekends. I know precisely how to read and animals body language and know when something is wrong. An animal can let me know when they feel uncomfortable and I can let the owner know right away. I have handled many shelter animals and pets and can know when something is not right or if they feel uncomfortable.

I give Iman 5 stars times 20. This is my first time using Rover and I selected Iman for home drop in visits for the week I was on work related travel. To say I was nervous is an understatement. However, from the time I met Iman I knew she was the right choice. I perceived her to be a gentle, compassionate and honest person. This was important to me considering the temperament of my fur babies. One is a rescue due to abuse and none have ever been border and I wanted them to stay in the comfort of their own home. Yes I got that vibe from just meeting her. Very positive ora and energy. Iman exceeded my expectation. My 4 fur babies took to her right away and she cared for them as I would. You can tell this is not just work for Iman it’s what she loves. She absolutely has a love for and way with animals.t antisocial cats were even drawn to her. She made sure the house was locked and secured each time and that the alarm was set. I will definitely continue to utilize her services for my fur babies. I can’t express my gratitude enough for having such an amazing and outstanding sitter. Also, they loved her dog food. ❤️

About: I’ve always loved taking care of my furry and not so furry friends!! I grew up in a home full of dogs and a vast range of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, and other aquatic life etc. I’m currently working from home so my schedule is generally open as far as Monday-Friday. I’m available throughout the entire weekend as well. I like to keep the animals in my care on a schedule so they aren’t stressed, I prioritize (the animal’s) comfortability and structure because that’s just what makes sense. It’s my duty to ensure your furry friend can have fun AND be safe so please bombard me with any and all information!!!

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience in pet care, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. I pride myself on having a strong sense of animal behavior and adjusting care accordingly to each individual pet’s temperament. I have a great deal of experience with senior pets and/or pets with a strict medication regimen. I understand that these animals often need additional patience and compassion and I am always striving to reliably provide such care. This includes administering edible, topical, and injectable medications. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats and small animals (birds, fish, reptiles, etc) so you can rest assured that your beloved critters are in good hands! I do my best to be communicative so I am always willing to discuss any additional details or concerns with my clients. My main goal in pet care is to provide reliable and respectful service that keeps your furry friend happy and gives you peace of mind in knowing they are properly cared for while you are away. I hope that I get to meet you and your pets very soon! Pet care is currently my main focus so my weekly schedule is almost always open. I am extremely flexible with scheduling which means I will be available to do reoccurring visits or extended pet sitting if need be. I have my own transportation so I am happy to make visits that are a bit out of my area as well. I have worked in professional pet care for 7+ years which has including both daily dog walking and overnight house-sitting. Being respectful of my client’s pets and their homes is of utmost importance to me. As well as pet sitting I am more than happy to take on other house-sitting responsibilities such as watering plants and bringing in mail/packages. I always appreciate strong communication and always do my best to provide prompt updates while you are away

I’m so happy we were referred to Cindy! Today was the first time she was helped us and my dog turned into a hot mess :) Poor Cindy was just going to let her out for 30 minutes so she wouldn’t be in the crate too long without a break. Instead, due to a serious of minor mishaps our girl caused, Cindy ended up having to clean up multiple messes (in an unfamiliar house no less) and then took her for a walk to calm her down and get her back in the crate without stressing her out. She filled me in on everything that happened and even offered to check on her again before we got home, if we needed. She was so nice despite all the chaos and even complimented our Belle (she’s a handful, but a sweet one!) I highly recommend Cindy!!

About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life ranging from fish, amphibians, rodents, birds, cats, and dogs. I love connecting with animals and giving them all the love they deserve! I also am a former vet assistant (I now work at a vet lab) so I have experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and health statuses. My priority is the pets’ safety and comfort, and will work with them to ensure we have a foundation of trust. I also can work enrichment into my visits to get their minds more stimulated or just give them a 15 minute belly rub if that’s more up their alley. I’ve also trained many of my pets so I can help introduce basic commands to puppies or reinforce commands and manners from older pets. I’m available pretty much every day for the summer. Once mid-August comes around, I’ll be available Sunday-Tuesday at all times and Wednesday-Saturday from 9-11 AM I can come in let the pets out, clean up messes from them, feed/water, play enrichment games or work on training, and give them lots of love!

About: 🐶❤️ I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for friends, family, and neighbors, making sure they receive the attention and care they need. I provide feeding and fresh water 🥣, walks and exercise 🚶‍♂️🐕, playtime 🎾, and lots of love and companionship 🐾. I'm reliable ✅, responsible ⭐, and always follow owners' instructions carefully to keep pets safe and happy. Whether it's an energetic puppy or a senior dog, I make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their family is away Free pretty much all the time especially during summer sometimes I have to make emergency trips to New York for short periods of time but not often! I have a fenced yard, huge backyard for the pups to play in and have fun as well as toys and more my neighborhood is pretty secure and safe. As far as pups being in my home they will be treated as my own food water the essentials many belly rubs playing around and naps so much more. I currently have a very small pit bull he’s very friendly and he’s just a baby so he’s harmless.

Rachel was great. Tootsie is very skittish but didn’t run from her. She did a great job cleaning and feeding. She also exercises patience with my alarm situation. Next time, I’ll book longer visits to give Tootsie time to get to know her.
