Alexis took such great care of our fur babies while we were gone for the weekend! She went above and beyond for our very high energy golden retriever puppy. I would definitely have her come stay again ❤️

Deisha provided in home pet sitting for us while we were away on our family vacation. She provided excellent care for our fur babies and was extremely responsive even with us having limited cell and internet service while away! She sent updates and pics everytime we were able to connect with her while away. She did a great job of keeping up with our home as well! Highly recommend and will definitely be using her services again!

About: I build relationships with the pets and owners. I pay attention to the small details, like routines, quirks, treat time, and belly rubs. I try my best to make all pets feel special and comfortable while their owners are away My schedule can vary week to week since my work isn’t always consistent, but I’d be happy to check in with you about your dates and see if it’s something I can commit to Since I have two dogs of my own, I usually offer pet care at the owner’s home. It tends to be less stressful for your pet and keeps things simpler on my end too

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to calm seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and flexible to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with administering medications, training basic commands, and handling special diets. My passion is making every pet feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I dedicate specific times each day for walks, play, and feeding to ensure pets get the attention they deserve. I’m flexible with scheduling and can adjust to early mornings, evenings, or weekends to fit your needs. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer stay, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I ensure pets have a clean, secure environment where they can relax and play freely. I keep hazardous items out of reach and closely monitor their behavior to prevent any risks. I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and build trust, so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands

About: I didn’t have pets growing up but I’ve always wanted them! When I started my own family, me and my husband got our first pet cat named Sebastian and we love and care for him as if he was another one of our kids! We also added a dog named Astro to our growing family a couple of years after getting Sebastian, and he is so sweet and friendly. I have learned so much over the past few years about how to care and treat animals and I have enjoyed every minute of it! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m currently working from home from 6am-3pm and I can even stop by on my lunch break! Weekends I have the most flexibility. I will treat your cats/pups with respect and give them the outstanding service(s) they need with a whole lot of love and care! I will take them on long walks and make sure they eat/drink well!

I couldn't of been more grateful to find Chelsea to take care of Butter and Waffles like they were her own! She made sure to give consistent updates and follow their quirky needs/schedule that put my mind to ease. I could tell my kitties were really happy with her care! ☺️ She has such a genuine heart and made sure to leave my home better than when we left which was also SO nice to come back to after a long international flight. She really went above and beyond, I would definitely book with her again! ?

About: Ever since the age of 10 I’ve had responsibilities for our pets; taking them out to potty, playing/exercising, cleaning up any accidents, making sure they have food and water, and bathing. I would be happy to take care of and love on your babies! I’m currently on summer break from college and dog sitting is my only job so I have plenty of time available to care for your pets. I don’t board any pets at my house, but I do go to the client’s home. I can stay over at the house if that’s what the client would prefer, or do drop-ins.

About: I have a lot of time on my hands so taking care of your precious fur child would be of an utmost priority. I know what it's like to not have enough time for your pets and I know you want your dog/cat to be under the best of care. With that said, I've owned animals since I was 4-years-old specifically rats. I currently have 5 cats. 3 are domestic blackies and a pair of twin girls. As a teenager, I had a dog walking/sitting business and since I lived in an apartment building most of my clients were apartment dwellers. I had a few clients that were older dogs so I had to readjust my typical plans. And although each dog is different, they should all be cherished and appreciated. I honestly don't know what my life would be like without dogs and my cats in my life. My schedule is fully open. I freelance so booking somewhat last minute will easily be acceptable. I also only take one client at a time for overnight boarding. At your own home, I would respect your fur babies normal schedule and they would be as safe as possible. I don't have the space to comfortably board at my home and I want to ensure no issues occur while your pets are in my care.

Brooklyn was absolutely phenomenal with my two adult boxers. She came to my house and house sat for a few days. And I will absolutely be using her again. She was super communicative and sent photos of my pups along the way.

About: Dogs are the most awesome pets to have. I love spending every free moment I have with mine Toby and Lance. They bring me happiness whenever I see them. They put me in check with what is important. I would have 20 of these little guys of my own if that would be possible. So instead I decided to become a pet-sitter and enjoy other people's pets. This also gives my dogs play time and social interaction with others. The greatest and most memorable times are the times spent with dogs. These guys deserve the best care and happiness we can provide them. So now Rover.com has provided me the opportunity to share my love for animals. You will not have any worries or doubts your will be in great hands of a responsible and attention to detail pet sitter.. Thanks for checking out my profile. I hope you book me soon for your pets!

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated, long‑time animal care professional with over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and another 5 years working in animal rescue and adoption services. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including seniors, special‑needs pups, and dogs who require behavior‑savvy handling. My vet tech background means I’m comfortable with medication administration, monitoring health changes, basic first aid, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. My rescue work has given me deep experience with fearful, energetic, or previously underserved dogs, and I always meet each dog exactly where they are—patiently and positively. Above all, I’m an all‑around animal person who truly loves building trust and making sure your dog feels safe, understood, and well‑cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or keeping a consistent routine, I’m here to give your pup the same level of care I’d want for my own. I currently work full time but will make your pets a priority. I can drop in any time in the morning/afternoon. Weekends are a breeze and I can do over nights. I can be flexible to any pet parents needs. We have a doggy park, or I can leash walk in my own yard. I have 3 very friendly, senior dogs. I can crate animals or leave them out. I can pretty much do it all in whatever environment if comfortable for clients.

About: I’ve been in pet care for many years taking care of my own pets and other pets in my pre-vet collegiate career. I have background experience in agriculture and large animal care as well. I work from home so my pets are my day long coworkers! They help give me structure and a routine instead of sitting at my desk all day long. Spending time with them is always something to look forward to. I treat any animal the same as I treat my own pets. My dog is the light of my life and I know other pet parents feel the same about their own babies.
