About: Not only have I owned my own dogs but I have been in the pet training business for 15 years. I have even trained service dogs for wounded Veterans. Most of my time is dedicated to training service dogs so I am pretty flexible with my time and can walk and care for your pets. I would care for clients pets as if they were my own with love and great attention to their needs. Examples include make sure they are in a safe environment, feed, watered, give medication if needed, walked, loved and happy.
About: My wife and I have had paws in our house almost from day 1. Over the years we have had 6 dogs and 7 cats, all of which came on board as puppies or kittens, and they all lived long and happy lives. Currently we have 1 dog and 2 cats. I am now retired, so I have maximum flexibility to schedule sitting/walking times. The biggest competitors for my time are the grandkids, and the lawnmower in the summer and snow shovel in the winter. Our cats are indoor cats with access to a screen porch to satisfy their outdoor desires. We have used the Invisible Fence for our previous larger dogs. The client would set the requirements for care at the pet's home. I also have walking shoes and a leash for doggie exercise. I have not signed up to care for client's animals at our house.
About: Hey there! I’m JinAe-a lifelong dog lover to my core & a proud parent to a playful 1 year old pup who believes every dog is a potential new best friend. I've had dogs throughout my life from a spirited Irish Setter to a reactive rescue who needed extra TLC, plus many more. Whether your dog is up for a calm walk, game of chase, or a good old-fashioned nap, I’m here to offer care that feels like home-belly rubs included. First time using Rover? Click on the link for $20 off! Happy you are here! https://www.rover.com/sit/jinaeb95494 Caring for dogs isn’t a side gig, it’s part of my who I am. Every morning starts with a walk (rain or shine!), a round of play, and cuddles with my own dog before I dive into the day. I carve out time daily & weekly for client pups, whether it’s neighborhood strolls, park play dates, or home visits. I thrive on the structure & joy that dog care brings-it’s a welcome constant in my schedule. I plan my calendar around wagging tails & happy paws and wouldn’t have it any other way. Pet safety, comfort, & happiness are my top priorities-always. In my home pets are treated like family, with cozy spaces to relax, regular playtime, & routines to help them feel secure and loved. I maintain a clean, pet friendly environment and tailor each day to fit their individual needs. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same attentive approach: following instructions closely, keeping schedules consistent, & making sure pets feel calm & cared for, even when their owner’s are away. For anxious pups, I bring extra patience & calm energy. I avoid overwhelming stimulation, offer gentle reassurance & give them time to adjust at their own pace. Whether it’s using their favorite toy, a scent from home, or simply sitting nearby, I focus on what makes them feel safe. I’ve found that a steady routine & lots of positive reinforcement go a long way in helping nervous dogs build trust and relax.
“Courtney was a wonderful caregiver for Buddy while we were out of town for a long weekend. Buddy had clearly been well looked after. Calm, mellow and happy when we returned! We look forward to having Courtney look after Buddy again.”
“Kelly provided great care for my cat, Ruthie, while I was out of town for a long weekend. She sent lots of pictures and videos, had great communication, and even cleaned Ruthie's box without me asking! Thanks Kelly!”
About: I have a German shepherd who is amazing and also dog reactive so Ive gotten good at walking her and learning how to deal with her reactive behavior I have to take care of my puppy and adding another dog to the schedule isn’t very hard for me to do. I will always make time to hang out and take care of animals I have my dog in my house with me and if there is an issue with my dog not getting along with yours I’m able to keep them separate. I will be around pretty much the whole time while I’m caring for your dog.
About: I have been a dog / cat sitter for my friends, family and neighbors since I was 13. My family had both dogs and cats in the house when I was growing up. I love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I especially enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them outside to help expend their energy. I currently work from home in a corporate position. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend some of it taking care of animals. Typically, I am staying over at the client’s home for the duration of their trip / vacation. The client will often have me over to their home prior to their departure to meet the animal(s) and go over their needs and any other special requests they may have. It is very important to me that the client feels safe entrusting me to stay in their home and take care of their pets.
“Pat was flexible with some unforeseen changes and willing to help out if she could. Good communication, even crawled next to the bed where one of my cats was hiding to give her some love. My other cat wasn't as shy and Pat gave her lots of love and belly rubs.”

“Eleanor is wonderful. She is kind and responsive to our requests. Both of our doggie enjoyed their time with her. I highly recommend Eleanor. Thank you”
Hannah P.
“Hannah is a great candidate for Rover. Her “super power” is her ability to connect with animals. She adores pets and they seem to trust and love her. She has worked in pet stores and has trained dogs, including many service dogs. While we have not had a dog since we moved out of the family home into a townhouse, I would have no qualms about entrusting my pet’s care to Hannah. She puts the animal first. I have seen her working with service animals in training as well as around other pets in the home environment. Hannah is kind, conscientious and always eager to learn more to add to her knowledge of animals.”
Dave M.
“I've known Dave for over 40 years, watching him love and care for several generations of family dogs and cats including mixed breed terriers, pure bred goldens, and stray kittens who were lucky enough to find their way to his garage! He's the kind of guy who always stops to talk to dog owners, scratch their pups ears, and savor wags and kisses. When an original pet sitter fell through for me, I was lucky enough to know that Dave would step in and care for my dog until I could get home. I don't know any pet lover with more patience, kindness, and "animal connection" than Dave”
JinAe B.
“I can’t say enough good things about JinAe. She took care of my senior, blind dog who wears diapers—and she handled everything with incredible kindness, patience, and professionalism. From the start, she was attentive to all of my dog’s special needs. She took the time to understand his routine, his comfort items, and how to properly change his diapers. I received regular updates and photos that reassured me he was not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. It was clear he felt safe and calm in her care. It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with an older pet, especially one with extra needs, but JinAe went above and beyond. I came home to a happy dog and complete peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone—especially if you have a senior or special-needs dog. JinAe is a rare find!”
