“Paige was a wonderful sitter! She was so kind and communicative, leaving us great updates and pictures from her visits. We didn’t worry about our boys at all! Would definitely recommend Paige😺”

About: I've taken care of a variety of advanced reptiles since I was twelve, and have experience walking dogs for the better part of three years. I currently work with two senior dogs (lab and golden retriever), and assist with: daily walking, brushing, and feeding. I have a part-time job, but I'm more than happy to spend my afternoons helping with anything pup-related! With proper notice, I have exceptional availability for a variety of tasks! I believe the compassion, respect, and structure are the cardinal rules of pet care, and strive to demonstrate those with each and every client. My ultimate goal is to do what's right for the animals in my care, including fostering a good relationship with the human guardians of my clients.
“Leah is absolutely wonderful with our dog Dylan! From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly has such a natural way with animals. Dylan felt comfortable with her right away, and we loved the updates and photos Leah shared while we were gone it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and cared for. Leah is responsible, trustworthy, and treats pets like her own. We couldn’t recommend her more highly and are so thankful to have found her!”

“Samantha has been taking care of this little fur family in various forms for a couple years now. I always feel confident that she is making sure they are getting what is needed and all the snuggles. Thank you!”

“Elizabeth is great! She’s so friendly and was excellent with our 5 month old puppy. She’s prompt, respectful, and very dedicated to what she does. Highly recommend her for your next Rover.”

“Cari-Ana has been extremely helpful and patient with my dog. He is very nervous, and she was gentle and patient with him. I feel extremely confident leaving my dog in her care! She is knowledgeable, caring, and great to work with!”

About: I’ve always loved working with animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and even a couple of guinea pigs from as young as 10 years old. I love getting to know pets, their personality, and what makes them the most comfortable. I have a lot of experience in pet sitting, as well as pet photography, and I love adding photos to my collection while giving you nice photos of your pets. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to hang with your pets. My schedule is a little all over the place, but I don't work anything more than a 6-hour shift, so your pet won't be waiting long. I have a large fenced-in backyard with many toys to help your pet feel comfortable. I also have two cats who love interacting with other animals but know when to stay away.
About: I’ve taken care of friends & family’s pets for years, where I grew special connections with each of the animals. This past summer I fostered an 8 mon. old deaf dog - I have some training/consistency skills in my back pocket. I am currently in the middle of job searching, but I plan to do shift work (12 hr shifts); 2-3 days off from work per week. I will update my calendar when I know more about my work schedule. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment on the ground floor - an easy place to let your pet out to go potty. There is a large area for potty time and an area to play/socialize with other dogs (if permitted, depending on dog’s temperament). There is a small park close by that doggies love that sniff around at and watch the birds and squirrels.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dogs and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dogs. One of my little ones loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have 2 of my own small pups (one that is a couch potato and the other loves to play, but isn’t pushy) and work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dogs).

About: Quality, flexible, loving animal care from a lifelong dog lover and animal enthusiast. Providing quality communication for your fur babies, because I know how hard it can be to be away! Before & after work caring for fur babies, animal care is a passion of mine! Adding on joy, flexibility, and love to my daily schedule. Meeting their needs the best I can with flexibility, love, communication, and quality. Always communicating to the best of my ability to provide quality care for their fur babies.
“Kristin was wonderful and made it very clear that she cared about our kitty and his wellbeing! He is on medication right now and doesn’t cooperate very well, but she was able to get it in him :) would definitely recommend booking her. Thank you, Kristin!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since i was a teen! I’ve had animals come to my house but now that I drive I mostly go and stay at the animals house. I’ve done drop offs to feed and walk dogs too. I’m experienced in giving medication to animals (pills or liquids) and i’ve worked with elder dogs as well. I had a bunny for 8 years and a childhood dog also. I did just get a new job as an activity coordinator at an elderly home so I do have 8 hour shifts that I will be starting. I am a home body so i’m home quite a bit to keep and eye on the animals. Fenced in yards are nice but i’m very open on walking the dogs to go to the bathroom too. Scooping litter boxes also is a very familiar task for me.
“I couldn't be happier with the experience! She provided updates and adorable photos, which put my mind at ease. My dogs were happy and well-cared for, and I could tell they received plenty of attention and playtime. Payton was very responsible, sticking to my dog's routine and ensuring they felt comfortable throughout the time. I highly recommend for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely book them again in the future!”

About: I volunteer with my local animal rescue. I’ve loved animals my whole life and want nothing more than to keep them healthy and happy :) I work a full time 9-5 job so unfortunately I am only available on weekends and in the evening on weekdays. Otherwise I would have a pet of my own! I have a fenced in yard and a very walkable, safe neighborhood. I have watched friends pets so my house is dog/cat safe even though I don’t have a pet of my own.
About: I've cared for animals for most of my life, both as a pet owner myself and as a pet caretaker for family and friends. I love working with dogs and cats alike, and I have experience providing all kinds of basic pet care (feeding, walking, playing, snuggling, basic commands training, etc.). I believe that every pet deserves thoughtful, intentional, compassionate care (and lots of love) to truly thrive, and I am always eager to provide those things for the clients and families I serve when they are away from their furry friends! My availability falls mostly to weeknights and weekends, as I do work full-time. I am happy to provide drop-in care and dog walking services on weeknights from 6-9 pm, and most weekends. I am also available for house sitting/overnight stays most weekends. I love providing care for pets in their own home environment, where they are most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I am happy to come over to feed, walk, play with, and snuggle your furry friends.
About: I had dogs since I was born up until 2018 when my childhood dog, Tyke passed at 15. I now have two cats, Kiwi who I've had for four years and Nala who I've had for three. I cared for my friend's cat and a family's dogs while in college. I now pet sit for a family friend whenever they ask me to and have been for over a year. I am working part time this summer, and doing this for some extra cash! I am a teacher during the school year, so now is the perfect time. I would love to walk dogs whenever I can! When I watch my family friend's dogs, I follow their routine with breakfast, a walk in the morning, letting them out when they need to go, another walk in the afternoon and dinner (and their special late night cheese stick!) So I will follow any routines needed or just go with the flow!
About: I’ve had many animals while growing up. I’ve had 4 dogs, 3 cats, a hamster, a guinea pig, snakes, countless fish, and chickens. I am confident in my abilities to care for any kind of pet. I am able to administer meds, groom, train, etc. I love animals and love working with them! I work part-time as a server, but am very flexible with my schedule outside of that. I’m able to stay late at night and come early mornings if necessary. I am able to stop by during the days and in case your pet needs a friend I can bring my own around! I have a fenced yard as well as invisible fencing. I feed my dogs and cats each day, walk and potty them, and scoop litter. When my older cat was around I administered his meds and helped to keep him clean. Any accidents that happen can be cleaned easily and i love cuddling with the animals!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child. I was raised around dogs, cats, and horses, and have always had pets of my own. I’ve worked with both large and small animals and also studied animal science, which helps me understand their behavior and needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, and I’m comfortable caring for senior pets who may need extra time, gentleness, and consistency. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and keep communication clear with regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding times, playtime, and any special needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. Walks, check-ins, and quality time are part of my everyday life. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet. I have a fenced backyard for secure outdoor time (for dogs), and inside my home is quiet and pet-friendly. For cats, I make sure they have a stress-free space, clean litter boxes, and a consistent routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m very reliable and communicative, sending regular updates and photos so you feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and truly cared for.
Hopkins dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brynn was amazing for our dog! She watched him over our wedding weekend and made sure to always give detailed check-ins and photos. Our dog can be a bit unsure with strangers, but Brynn did a great job getting to know him and making sure he felt comfortable with her. She was responsive in her communication. I highly recommend Brynn if you’re in need of a pet sitter!
