About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I've always had a dog throughout my life. My family is full of dog lovers! A dog is what makes a home feel like a home 🐾 I am a stay at home mom which means I am home majority (if not all) of the day. I have the availability, time and heart to fit your dog right into my day. I have a fully fenced in yard to run and play. I have kids who adore dogs, who listen and are respectful of their space. Our home is fun and relaxing- plenty of time for both. Our door is always open.

About: I have been pet sitting for my friends and family for the last 7 years. They required me to check in on their pets, feed them, play with them, and walk their dogs. I am currently home from college and I work for a towboat company. I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets! I have two cats at home and we just let them roam around. They don’t need a lot of care but I feed them twice a day and clean their litter box and give them treats whenever. When taking care of my clients pets, I make sure I do exactly as they ask.

About: I love animals of all kinds and have many years of experience with owning, fostering, and pet sitting cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and exotics. I will love your animal as if it were my own and make sure they are having a wonderful time as I tailor to any special requests so that you may have a worry free time away from your best friend. I know how to properly administer medicine, trim nails, and groom. Any question is welcome and I hope to put your mind at ease with my experience and love for animals. I have an open schedule currently. I am very prompt and reliable. I will meet all of your pets needs whether it be walks, playing with toys or running. I can also clean tanks, give baths, trim nails and other services upon negotiation and request. I currently own a high energy Border Collie, Australian Kelpie mix. I take my dog to the state park and hike regularly. She is played with often and given positive reinforcement training. I have owned her for 8 years. For a dog I would give similar treatment and if requested also bring the dog to the park or hiking to expel the extra energy. For a cat I am often well liked and know how to be gentle and careful. For reptiles or birds I am familiar with care and wellness needs. I am open to any special requests and hope to make your pets time with me the best ever!

About: I worked at North Shore Animal League. I love cats and dogs and own 2 cats of my own, they are very sweet. Message me for any questions you may have about my availability, experience or pets and I would love to answer! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible for walks or boarding. I also have separate rooms that I can keep my cats in if your animal prefers to be the only pet. I have plenty of beds/toys for animals. I can bring your dog to for some play time ant a dog park or just for a nice walk. I live in a pet friendly apartment that is nice and quiet. I have leashes and treats as well and have no problem with your dog or cat going on my bed/couch

About: I have years of experience watching/caring for dogs both big and small, and cat sitting as well. I’ve also had pets throughout my whole life I work a 8-5 Monday through Friday, but I am available weekdays after work or early in the morning, and I’m free anytime on the weekends I’m unable to keep others’ pets at my own home, but willing to travel to your house for dog sitting or walking! Willing to go on jogs or walks for dogs:)

About: I've taken care and been around dogs ever since I can remember, and it has been a huge part of my life! I feed, bathe, walk, and cared for my chocolate lab, Mocha, and she has taught me so much about what it means to care for loving and fun animals like herself! It has allowed me to take care of dogs around my neighborhood, doing things like drop in visits or walks while people have been on vacation! I cannot get enough of them, and I hope to make an impact on your loving animals like mine have impacted me! I am going to be home from college all summer, and am looking to do something along with my other part time jobs! I have very flexible availability, as both of my jobs require me to be there at later hours, and are very on and off, so I am free and willing to work with you on time! At your home or around your neighborhood, I am willing to work with you and what is there to offer in terms of walking area and/or yard space, and if needed, I have a very safe and pet-friendly neighborhood with miles of walking ground for your furry friends!

About: We’ve been loving dog parents for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After losing our beloved boy earlier this year, we’ve found ourselves missing the daily joy, snuggles, and companionship that come with having a pet. We’d love to share that love with your furry family member—giving them all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Think of us as your pet’s extra set of grandparents: all the love, cuddles, and spoiling, with a calm, caring presence you can trust. I’m currently working but am winding down a 30+ year career as an educator. I’m available weekends and over the summer right now. My husband is semi-retired and is available Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. One or both of us are also available after 3 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We have a fenced yard and sadly no pets for your baby to play with. We have no children in the house either so your dog will be the only guest and will receive our undivided attention. We will only sit for 1 family at a time to ensure you the highest quality care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old and I love taking them for walks and playing with them I will walk them when ever I get a chance. I work part time so I have plenty of time to come over and help take care for your animals when ever you need help. I have a fenced heard I will make sure they are safe and played with and watched no matter what when they are in the back .

“Jen was an excellent find on Rover for me. She was friendly, easy to work with and she cared for my pup very well for his short visit with her. Jen has a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood and I was very comfortable that he was in a good care. And I got a picture which was a nice surprise! Thank you again Jen!”

About: My name is Hannah. I worked at West hills animal hospital. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 5+ years. i understand the importance of trusting someone to care for you "kids". i grew up with a household of furry friends! Many people thought my family was crazy for having so many pets! But i couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I'm a stay at home mom with a 3 year old, so i have flexible hours, i will be delighted to watch your fur babies! I would like to keep your fur babies as close to their schedule as possible, I would love taking them for walks! I want them to feel as close to home as i possibly could!

About: I’d rather spend time with dogs rather than humans. Every animal is special and deserves to be treated as such. Even my husband knows my dog comes first! I am very familiar with dogs. If I wasn’t a teacher, I would work with animals. I am available to help you. I love animals and would do anything for them. I’m that person who pulls over to return stray/ lost dogs. I am excited to walk your dog! I can provide any services. I have administered medicine, I am able to drive safely with an animal in the car, and I take their well-being my top priority.

“Shelby was so great with my dogs and left detailed reports of their walks! She was so sweet and accommodating - will definitely be using her again!!”
