Our puppy Kimber loves Madeline! She’s always excited to see her and she comes back tired and ready for a nap. We know Madeline truly cares for our pup and her safety.

About: From fur to feathers & scales I’ve cared for all kinds of animals for 10 years. I am experienced with administering medications (topical, pills, drops, etc).I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet(s) behind, but have no fear this animal lover will care for them until your return! I am currently stay at home, so I am available during the day, weekends, and night time if needed. I can work with your routine if your pet has a set schedule. I have a fenced yard, and 2 friendly pups if your pet likes to socialize. If your pet prefers to be alone I can schedule individual yard time for them. I do have a separate room for those that prefer to be crated or are not use to free roaming. If pets prefer to stay at their homes I can keep them company for however long they require, along with making sure their needs are taken care of (food, water, potty time, playtime).

Allana exceeded expectations and helped put my mind at ease while my dog was home alone. She's an excellent communicator with prompt responses. Will definitely utilize her again in the future if a situation arises.

We needed someone to walk our GSD at lunchtime for us. My daughter suggested using the Rover app. We were so lucky to have found Chloe! Hey and my fur baby hit it right off. Chloe is absolutely wonderful! Very prompt and great communication ! We appreciate all she does for us and our Jameson, we asked her to dog sit as well. She loves our fur baby and she loves her too! Thank you Chloe!!!

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs for about 2 years now I have a dog of my own and she is a handful and I would love to be of help to anyone I can I work part time at a grocery store. I mainly work nights so I get off anywhere between 9 and 11pm. So when trying to schedule check ins I would recommend scheduling the first check in later in the morning so there is less time in between each check in. I have a fenced in yard it’s fairly large enough room to run and play if needed I feel confident in my abilities to safely get your dog in a crate

About: I also work in a boarding and doggy daycare facility. I am trained in medicine administration. I work daily around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and medical needs. I do have certifications in dog behavior. I work around 6 hours a day with my current facility and am always upfront and honest about my availability. I normally find out a week out what the following schedule for me will be like, if I make a commitment I always make sure to stick to it. I follow instructions set by owners depending on how strict you would like to be. I can normally get a dogs vibe and learn who I have to be slow and gentle with and which dog is super friendly and ready to play right away! I follow set times for feedings, vitamins, meds, etc.

About: As a previous dog owner myself, I know that dogs love attention and playing, even sometimes just want to be held. Given that I had to give my dog away due to my profession, please allow me to take care of your dog, care for it, and love it on the days you have things going on. I'm available at night on the weekends and all day on the weekends. Also if any special requests like washing or brushing are needed, I can do those too! Anything like special food, specific acitivty time, or anything of the like apply to your pet, I'm willing to abide to give your pet the best experience yet and to give piece to your mind while you go out and have fun! I do currently work full time as a civilian on base. My schedule is normally 6am-2pm, depending on what’s needed for the pet I can try my best to adapt my schedule as need be! Currently I won’t be able to house any pets in my home, my complex doesn’t allow pet sitting for my apartment unit (dogs and cats) I’m 100% okay with being able to come by and see your pet, if you’re pet is in a mobile cage I don’t mind having it inside as long as everything is provided to care for the animal (I’m thinking gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, etc.).

About: Pet care isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. I grew up rescuing dogs and cats, rehabilitating raccoons, and working alongside horses, and that passion has never left me. Today, I volunteer with local pet rescues and share my home with two rescue dogs of my own: a Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd mix who ultimately inspired me to change careers and work directly with the animals I love. One of the most meaningful parts of my journey has been caring for hospice pets. These are animals in the final chapter of their lives, and they deserve nothing less than comfort, dignity, and unconditional love. It is both a heartbreaking and deeply fulfilling calling — one that has taught me more about love and presence than almost anything else. I can’t tell my story without speaking about Criolo — my soul dog. A retired multipurpose canine, he was my introduction to working dogs, a world full of misunderstood and underappreciated animals. He lived to ten years old, and not a day goes by that I don’t carry a piece of him with me. His greatest lesson? To spend more time living like a dog — present, loyal, and full of heart. Because pet care is what I do full-time, I have the flexibility to work around your lifestyle — giving you peace of mind that your pet is in caring, dedicated hands. I provide attentive care in your home- reducing the anxiety that comes with unfamiliar places and maintaining their routine even when you can’t be there.

About: Hey there, I'm Joyce and I've been taking care of my neighbors and friends animals for most of my life (25+ years). I do have limited availability for weekends until April 2026, but if your pets are flexible - we can make it work! Just ask ❤️ I am partial to dogs, but guess who can change a litter box too? Me! I also love cats and other critters. I also use Rover when I'm out of town, so I know what it's like. I hold high standards for myself and the care of your pet(s). Your pet will be treated like my own (I have 3), with respect and a lot of love! FRIDAY: I have limited availability in the afternoon. I will be available 6am to 3pm. And will be available again for a late night visit at 11pm (earlier if I am able). *SAT/SUNDAY* I AM available for an early morning visit (6:00am) and then anytime after 4:30pm-9:30 pm I'm looking for part-time work as I want to go back to school this fall. I love animals , the outdoors, and a good walk! (I have limited availability on the weekends, please inquire and we may be able to make it work!) Overnight stays: I will try to spend as much time at your house as you want me to, but I may have a few errands to run during the day and make sure my own dogs stretch their legs too. In your home, I'm a well-mannered guest. I don't have to stay in your home if you don't need me to. Your animals will be treated with respect.

About: Growing up I would pet sit for family friends and family members. Which lead to being referred to outside family relationships! I have over 10 years of experience. I have trained my very own puppy along with family members. I run my own business and have a pretty open schedule during this off season. Would love to occupy my time helping others and to meet new furry friends. 😁 I make sure to spend a decent amount of time with the animals during drop ins. I follow instructions on feeding times and make sure to run them out and love on them before putting away again. For walks, we’d go for about 30-hour depending on the energy level of the pooch :).

I take the time to understand feeding schedules, training cues, exercise needs, and any special instructions to ensure your pets receive consistent, familiar care. By maintaining your established routines and using your preferred techniques, I help your pets feel secure, comfortable, and well-cared-for while you’re away.

I booked Kaycie for three midday walks very last minute. I peeped at my dog camera for like a minute and my boy was so excited to see her. She made sure to walk and play with him, and topped his water off before leaving. I would definitely book her again!

About: I have taken care of pets, my own and others, since I was very young. Family and friends rely on me regularly to care for their fur babies. Being retired allows me to be available most days. Taking care of pets keeps me active and gives the pets and their humans a feeling of security. At a client's home I walk dogs, feed them, give belly rubs and administer meds if necessary. For cats, the same minus the walks. I send photos and updates to clients.
