“Cerys is awesome! I've booked her twice and will book her again for sure. From the second she met with us during the meet&greet, I could tell her and Diesel were bonded. She was receptive to all the information and "quirks" that Diesel has and worked with her. She didn't take the shortcut and just take Diesel to the park. She ran her as far as Diesel wanted to go. Diesel is so happy to see Cerys anytime she came by for a walk.”


“Jordan came over for initially a one day, 3 walks with my dog Zeke and he absolutely loved her. At the end of day three I ended up asking her if she could do a last-minute addition for the next morning, and she was amazing and super accommodating, you can tell Jordan really loves the dog she works with and got some of the most best photos of my pup!! I would recommend her to anyone I know and will be booking again, Zeke gave two paws up ?”

About: Began working in animal hospitals when I was 12… love caring for fur-babies! I hold a doctorate in a public health field & a degree in animal sciences/pre-veterinary medicine (was accepted into multiple veterinary schools). I recently moved, & saw an opportunity to return to caring for animals. I provide what I looked for when I used sitters for my pets: reliability, responsiveness, & and animal lover. Happy to play with active pets, patient with those who need to warm up, & love cuddling the couch loungers. I have experience with animals from birth to senior years & various health conditions. I follow your directions as you know your pet(s) best. From cuddles and walks to surgery and inpatient care - I have experience. In addition to working in pet hospitals, I have had my own pets, from small to very large (other animals in photos… Rover is only for dog/cat/housesitting & I have to abide by TOS). I look forward to bonding with your fur-family members so you can relax with the assurance your pets are in good hands. Hablo español (Costarricense) I am currently 100% dedicated to caring for your fur-babies. My daughter lives on her own (in college), so there are no children or pets in my home. This is my daily & weekly routine :) I follow your instructions for your pet(s). I am adaptable. There is a mini dog-park here & lots of green space for walks! I’m happy to provide a more comfortable experience for your pets while you’re away than traditional boarding via housesitting, boarding, & drop-ins. I recently moved to the area so am in an apartment (and why boarding large dogs is a case-by-case basis), but also am a homeowner, so understand entrusting your home to a house-sitter. Safety & a good experience for your pet(s) is my priority.

About: Your fur babies will be in good hands, I work from home and have time to take care of them ,I currently don’t have pets of my own and I really would enjoy some fur friends. I will make sure to get are treated as family. I currently work from home so I have time to dedicate to your pet during day time and since I don’t have pets if my own at the moment I am eager to enjoy some quality time with some fur friends. I am available to walk your pet for the time needed making sure we have plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors and exercise for a healthy time, also, I can drop in visit to make sure they have company and share each others company.

“Cate was responsive, communicative, and super easy to work with! She sent the sweetest pictures showing Teddy clearly having fun with her! We’d definitely love to have Cate walk Teddy again!”


About: Disclaimer: At this time I ask that first-time clients DO NOT contact me if you are not 100% comfortable with my pricing. I totally understand that EVERYTHING is expensive these days and more people have a tighter budget. Sitting is my only form of income at the moment, so it is not sustainable for me to lower my prices. It is VERY important to me that I am able to provide the highest level of care possible while also being able to keep myself financially afloat. I also want to make sure that my clients are comfortable and confident in my abilities and pricing. Thank you so much for viewing my profile and keeping this detail in your consideration! - 5 years combined experience in daycare, boarding, and veterinary assistance - worked in many different roles within the field - up to managerial in dc/boarding - experience with pets with various medical, dietary, or other special needs - received pet CPR training during previous employment I recently finished my B.S. in Forensic Science and, while I am waiting on job opportunities in the field, will have a very open schedule for the foreseeable future. I am very flexible and open to working in whatever way/time fits best with your schedule and your pets' particular lifestyle and needs! I can offer day through night house-sitting, drop-ins up to every two hours, walks, or a combination, depending on what works best for you and your pet(s). With working in the daycare and boarding field for so long, I take the safety of and trust between myself, you, and your pet(s) very seriously. I have experience monitoring multi-pet households, in which different safety concerns or special needs per pet must be monitored. I also have a special love for senior pets and am more than happy to cater to their needs, whether that means slower or more frequent walks, special diets, or extra medical needs. I am able to give oral and injectable medications and have general knowledge on things such as: commonly used medications and monitoring potential concerns, such as abnormal stool, to determine if at-home care options are possible or if symptoms could indicate something that may need Veterinary Care. In the case of multi-day care or if you have specific concerns, I can provide detailed daily notes, regarding eating, medication, bathroom habits, behavior, etc., and pictures of your pet. ** Please note that I am more than happy to stay at your home full-time (24/7), but this will incur variations in my nightly rate which can be discussed at the time of the meet and greet.

About: Hi, I’m Isabel Duke — and caring for animals is something I take to heart. I’ve spent years looking after dogs and reptiles, both my own and others’, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s a daily check-in or an extended stay, I focus on routines, comfort, and making your pet feel safe and seen. 🐾 Services I Offer For Dogs: • Walks, playtime, feeding, and meds • Keeping routines consistent and stress low • Crate-trained, leash-trained, and high-energy friendly For Reptiles: • Experienced with geckos, bearded dragons & similar species • Feeding (live/frozen), misting, cleaning, and care checks • Comfortable with exotic pet needs like heat, light, and humidity A Little More About Me When I’m not working or caring for pets, I collect rocks for a hobby (being a geologist does that to ya!) exploring nature, and nerding out over D&D. I believe animals can tell when they’re in good hands, and I always aim to be someone they can trust. Let’s chat if you think I’d be a good match for your pet! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I have two dogs of my own, so feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship are already built into my routine. My lifestyle is built around caring for animals, and I’m committed to making sure every pet I look after feels safe, stimulated, and loved—whether it’s part of my routine or a special visit. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets’ routines consistent and stress-free. At my home, they’ll enjoy a calm space, a fenced yard for supervised play, and respectful introductions to my two friendly dogs. In your home, I follow all care instructions closely. Wherever they are, your pet gets personalized attention, love, and a safe place to relax.

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was 10 years old. I’ve had horses, dogs, cats, and more. I have experience taking care of puppies and with senior care. Pets are family- and I will treat yours like my own! I have recently retired. This gives me the flexibility to meet all of your pet care needs and more! I accept same day pet services and can be available 7 days a week. I can take care of all of your pet needs the way that you do. I understand that some pets need time to warm up to strangers and I have the patience for that. I will also meet clients prior to make sure that you feel safe with me in your home and taking care of your pet.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I tailor my care to each dog’s personality and routine. My services include daily walks, feeding, and playtime. I prioritize safety, consistency, and affection to ensure every dog feels secure and happy in my care. Whether in your home or on daily walks, your dog will receive attentive, reliable, and loving care. I just completed my first year as a Kindergarten teacher! Aside from vacationing, I’ll be relaxing and hope to be loving on your pets! I have lots of open time this summer, Sunday-Saturday! I provide attentive, customized care based on each pet’s routine, temperament, and needs. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s familiar environment, following their regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime. I also keep the home secure and tidy, bringing in mail, watering plants, and following any specific instructions.

“Kara did a great job of taking care of my fur baby, she took her out for a walk and got her energy out while I was at work. She took her to our neighborhood dog park, let her run around and have a great time, and sent me pictures to let me know how it went. I recommend Kara to anyone who needs someone reliable and trustworthy to watch their pup, I will definitely be rebooking with her!”


About: I grew up on a farm and I love all animals! I have three cats now but no room for a dog in my apartment. Hopefully one day I'll have the space for one. I love dogs and can not wait to watch your dog! We will have a lot of fun and I will give them a lot of love when you aren’t available. I have experience with all different types of dogs. One of my cats was feral so I also know how to deal with animals that can be scared of people. I know you would love to let me watch your dog. I bond well with other animals and dogs always love me. I can't wait to meet your dog(s) and maybe cats?! I’m still working from home since the pandemic! My cats are very self sufficient with their automatic feeder and litter box. But, since I do work at home, I’m very available to take care of your pets! In my house, I have 2 stories so my cats get a ton of exercise. I’m always very careful when watching my friends dogs. Always go outside with them and play and pick up poop. You name it, I’ve done it!

About: I am a HUGE dog lover who enjoys dogs of all breeds. I have cared for dogs of all ages, breeds and needs. I have experience with dogs with health concerns such as arthritis, seizures, anxiety etc. My experience also includes dogs of all personalities as I have been caring for dogs in different capacities for 12 years. I grew up with dogs and have experience with fostering, as well. My most recent experience has been with a one year old Pit Bull and a six month old Australian Shepard. I strive to provide the same care for your dog that you would. I will love and care for your dog like he/she is my own! I do have an Australian Sheppard puppy. He is house trained and gets along well with other dogs. He loves to play and would love to have a friend visit!

About: I’ve babysat for my cousins dog while she went out of town for a week. I made sure that her dog was fed at the right times and make sure he went out at least three times for the bathroom. I also make sure that dogs have fun in a new environment by playing with them and making sure they don’t get scared. I’m currently working Monday through Friday from 9 am to 1pm. On my weekends I don’t have anything planned. I would like to start here on Rover as a little part time job. I am also looking to raise a little money to help me for college. The way I care for animals is by following the rules I’m given by the owner. At my own home we make sure that the dog is in a nice comfortable environment. We make sure to take her outside to use the bathroom and eating at reasonable times.
