“I was worried about leaving my cats under the care of a stranger. But Kristen took excellent care of them and they are happy and healthy. I will use her services again.”


About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs and cats in my lifetime as well as reptiles like iguanas bearded dragons, and small animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different animals and I’ve always wanted to be a vet growing up, but I decided to go into nursing and this is my one way to be able to help others and take care of animals the best I can. I have a very flexible job Monday through Friday and I do not work on weekends so I’m available most nights and weekends. I do require some notice but I am very flexible with even like a day or two notice ahead of time. Depending on if I come to you or you utilize my home, I have lots of toys I have crates for the animals. I have a backyard for the animals to run free and I have no problem doing the messy work and cleaning up poop when they need to go They will have lots of love and if you are OK with it, I also have older children that love animals just as much as I do so that means extra love to your fur babies

About: I bring a level of responsibility and trust that sets me apart. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from cuddly cats to quirky dogs — in homes across the U.S. I’m calm, attentive, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I'm also neat, reliable, and communicative, so you'll always know your pets and home are in good hands. What sets me apart? 👉 Life experience 👉 Flexibility to travel 👉 A deep love for animals (and the quiet joy of daily routines) Whether it’s meds, snuggles, or just holding down the fort — I’ve got it covered. I’m a retired real estate agent turned full-time traveler, so my schedule is wide open — no 9–5, no rush. Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle. I enjoy quiet mornings, long walks (with or without a leash in hand), and cozy evenings in. Because I work remotely and love slow travel, I’m able to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, I don’t party, and I’m happy sticking to your pet’s routine — whether that’s sunrise feedings, mid-day meds, or nightly snuggles. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to security routines — and I’m extremely mindful about keeping doors locked, floors clean, and pets safe. I believe in calm, consistent environments, especially for animals. I keep noise to a minimum, never invite guests over, and I’m happy to update you with daily messages or photos so you always know your pets are well. Trust and safety are my top priorities — both for your animals and your home.

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for six years, and have had in home pets my whole life! I have experience with senior pets and am happy to help with any mobility needs. I am open to caring for puppies and kittens, but they must be potty trained. I work 8am-4pm and can take a lunch break to let pets out as needed! Happy to spend the night with a pet, or just pop for a bathroom break! I am not able to care for pets at my house at this time, however I am happy to spend the night somewhere else if need be (after being able to visit with the pet parents present). I am also happy to walk or play with pets to get them some exercise!

“Brilliant, Alicia made sure to update me on every visit and sent me pictures of my cat every time. When she noticed something odd, she immediately notified me about the issue; she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to properly care for their pets while they’re away.”

“She is awesome. Jasper was well taken care of. I will use her again. Elizabeth is a kind, happy young lady who truly loves animals. It was a pleasure to meet her. Reliable / Trustworthy / Fair. I sis not have to worry about Jasper while I was away from home.”


About: I have taken care of dogs for many years ! While I am most experienced with golden retrievers and helped train them for two years, I am comfortable with any and all dog breeds and sizes. Love going on car rides with a dog in my back seat !! Can’t wait to snuggle your furry friend. :) I work night shift at Starbucks, so I am able to pop in most mornings and early afternoons as well as after 9 PM for a late night visit ! If looking for extensive care over a period of time, I am more then willing to request time off specifically for your buddy. I am comfortable with crate trained dogs as well as free roam friends ! I will make sure to clean up after your friend and ensure they are safe and cozy while you’re gone.

“We had a last minute drop in request for the holidays since we didn't get our own work schedules until later on, but Sunny was thankfully available and able to fit us into their schedule. Our works are often fluid and sometimes change so we feel bad for last minute requests but Sunny was super great to work with. We have a lot of kiddos, feline and doggo, and some have very particular personalities, so we are always cautious of having new people work with them since we don't expect them to know all the intricacies of every personality in just a single meetngreet etc. Thankfully the kids all seemed happy and well taken care of when we returned and Sunny did a great job at communicating with us, sent plenty of photos and let us know how all the kids were doing, even the ones who didn't want much to do with them lol. Others were super happy to have some extra attention during the day and you can definitely tell from the photos we got, so we are happy to have Sunny take care of them again when the need arises and you should feel comfortable reaching out, too!”


About: I've never owned a dog but I've always been around family dogs and have given basic dog care over the years. Including walking and dog sitting. I'm currently not working so I have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs. My schedule is very flexible and I'm sure we could find a fit. I currently only offer in client home sitting. I will follow guidelines set by the pet parents in regards to walks and feeding times, etc.

About: I can let out/play/walk with dogs during anytime of the day. I love animals and no dog is too big or small. I also am totally understanding of some of the complicated needs of some pets because I have fostered sick/disabled dogs growing up and still to this day. I am a college student with lots of breaks in between classes. I am really familiar with the erie area and LOVE walks with dogs! I have a fenced in yard with two dogs and cats. They are all friendly but I can keep them separate in the house with no problem

About: Hi, I’m Julie—your dog’s new best friend! I’ve always had a soft spot for pups of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a quiet companion, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work part-time from home, so your dog will get lots of attention, snuggles, and care. Currently only working part time and have open availability - my work schedule is Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday 3-8 so anytime in between I can be available Open to taking dogs for walks and checking in.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. They light up my day like no other. I’ve watched over and taken care of friends and family dogs. I would do anything for animals from feeding, to bathing, plenty of treats of course. Any animals in my car have been left as happy pets. My schedule is open for dogs and cats. Every week day of course. I will work around schedules and help the best that I can. When other animals are in my care i’m very cautious to ensure safety in the pet. I’ve walked dogs before and I kept them close on a leash gently of course. I’ve been with dogs that aren’t necessarily delightful with other people or other dogs and I ensured their safety in that circumstance as well. I have a cat at home and I give her all my love and treats and I play fetch with her whenever she wants. :)

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve fostered dogs and cats of all ages through Humane Animal Rescue in Pittsburgh, which taught me how to care for pets with unique needs and personalities. I’ve been pet sitting for many years and have had my own pets throughout my life, so I know how important it is to provide reliable and loving care. I recently graduated from Pitt and have a completely open and flexible schedule right now. I’m focusing on doing something I truly enjoy spending time with animals while I look for my next job. This means I can fully adapt to your pet’s daily routine, whether it’s daycare, walks, or overnight stays. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can play safely, as well as a friendly dog who can keep your pup company if you’d like. I can easily crate your dog if needed and love working on basic commands to keep pets engaged and happy. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat their pets and space with the same respect and care as I would my own.

About: I've had my cat for about 10 years now so I understand how much love & care an animal needs. I love dogs just as much but don't have the time for my own at the moment so that's why I love to take care of dogs! My expirence has been mostly taking care of family pets & family friends pets until I started Rover & have had a ton of connections and experience through this app. I have taken care of multiple people's pets in the past mostly doing drop in visits, walks, and over night stays. I really love animals and always take care of them like their my own. I currently looking for a full time job so my schedule is pretty free for the most part. I usually take last minute jobs most of the times I'm requested. I am very respectful when I am in your home, I make sure I'll keep your place tidy. I currently do not take animals in my home but I will stay at yours if needed!

About: I grew up with cats and have experience with dogs from anywhere from Pomeranians to Great Pyrenees. I have also watched six dogs at once with to include 30 chickens. I treat every fur baby like it’s my own. I currently work full-time from 6am-2pm and can check on animals anytime after two but my weekends are completely free! so anytime between Friday evening to Monday morning. I take care of my own pets by giving them attention when needed. I will try to take my dog for walks play with my cat and just try to keep them busy throughout the day but I also love a good afternoon nap with them. I always will follow any customers request for their dog if they asked to go on walks twice a day or if there’s any special food or snacks or any special treatment that your animal needs, I will give it to them.

Monica C.
“Monica and I bonded over a cat with special needs--a daily responsibility, which Monica embraced with gusto. Meantime, she was not just accommodating but encouraging her other cats' individual personalities. In other words, she gets two very important things. First, the key to good critter health and happiness lies in the everyday details, and she is dedicated to fulfilling them every single time. Second, enrichment is everything--and also most of the fun for all involved.”

“Julie is one of the most considerate and compassionate people i know. Her love and care for animals and people exceeds the norm. She is responsible and thoughtful and goes the extra mile for everyone she has any commitment to with no exception. She is very resourceful and heart centered. I have watched her take every consideration for her own pets and the pets of others. If there is an animal in need that crosses Julies path she is taking action. I highly reccomend Julie as an outstanding human being and as someone who holds reverence for animals. Thank you”
