About: My momma hated animals while growing up, and you know why? Shedding, mortal enemy of every pet owner. We changed her mind and finally convinced her to adopt a dog when I turned 19, and wouldn’t you know it, she also fell in love. Now, we’ve got 4 dogs in the family. Life happened and I had to move from AL to PA. It definitely broke my heart that I’d also part ways with the family doggos. But dont worry, folks, I found a way to bring some animals back into my life. My partner and I got a playful kitty and fluffy corgi! If you dont know how it feels to have a cat purring on your lap while your doggo is snoring by your feet, you haven’t lived. 🥲😂 Life’s just way better with animals! On the weekdays, I work remotely, and I’m available for boarding check in after 1 pm and after noon during weekends. Please let me know if there are medications or other special care for your babies. Our house is fenced and has a mini fence wherein your doggo and mine could play together or do their business. A crate is also available if necessary.
“From start to finish, working with Wade was a pleasure. Not only is Wade professional, courteous, and communicative, he also has a natural patience and kindness to animals. We booked him for a week for to stay at our house to watch our dogs and cats and he gave detailed reports of their well-being every day, including photos. There wasn't a moment that we didn't feel comfortable using Wade's service and will be happy to book him again soon!”

About: Being a child of a veterinarian, i have a life time experience understanding how to understand and take care of a variety of animal especially dogs and cats. I have a lot of patience when it comes to puppies tho I do not have experience in training. But I have experience in specialized senior care. I do have some recorded vet assistant qualifications, I am able to administer many medication up to and including SQ fluids with confidence. It depends on the temper of the animal but I am willing to do basic grooming like nails, basic bathing and brushing. I am not a professional groomer but I have patience, skills and the love to keep animals clean and happy. I am an undergraduate student who is balancing classes and a part time job. Night time, mid day if possible, and morning check ups are going to be a constant schedule and easy for me to get to without much negotiation. Longer to overnight stays are possible but I have to disclose that it would be difficult to stay 100% with the animal especially during the week. I personally live in a small apartment with a cat so I would prefer to work out of clients homes if possible. I think it is important for any animal to feel comfortable, being in their own home would be the most comfortable environment for a pet when the owners are away. If at a clients house, I will follow what the animals personal schedule. For an example, if they get up at 7am every day and go outside to do their business, I will be there at 6:45 to make sure they go out on time. My first priority is the animals comfort and health and I believe that can be achieved with understanding how their life is when the owners are home. Routine is important to animals, even more important for senior animals.
About: Hi! I am Kayla and I have a tiny obsession with animals. I am currently the mother to an 1yr old cat named Plum. I am looking for some furry friends to take along on hikes and runs this winter. I am also available for pet sitting (personal experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs and fish). My special skills include running the pent up energy out of your pup, smothering your cat with love (even if he pretends to hate it) and getting just as much out of my relationships with fur babies as I put in to it. When your pet is in my care you won’t have to worry if they are getting enough attention and love. Photo text updates available upon request. I work part time, so I will be home most of time with your fur baby. When I have to be out of the house, I have my “poochini vision” camera set up to keep and eye on your baby while I’m out. I live right by a beautiful walking/biking trail that I love to explore with my rover pups. I have a young kitten that loves to play with the dogs, but if they need separated for any reason, I keep the kitten upstairs while your pooch has the reign of the downstairs.
“Jamie went above and beyond for my senior pup! She stayed at my place while I went out of town for a wedding. She gave him medicine daily and lots of love and cuddles. She was great at communicating with me throughout the days. I even ran into flight complications and she was so incredibly flexible to keep my dog safe and happy. I cannot recommend Jamie enough!”
“Joudi was truly a last minute godsend. Right before my wedding we got a horrifying diagnosis of CHF for our one cat. (we have four) With this new diagnosis and treatment regimen we desperately needed someone with the experience, skills and overall caring attitude that is Joudi. She was seriously amazing and allowed us the much needed peace of mind over our wedding weekend. I literally can't recommend her enough, our kitties miss her already! I could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover!”

“Kayleigh was so great with my dogs and she went above and beyond to care for my senior dog. Communication was top notch and she kept me updated about everything. She’s great and we can’t wait to see her again.”
About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and energy levels, from puppies to senior dogs with special needs such as blindness and medications. I understand that every dog has unique personality and routine and I make it priority to provide consistent and attentive care that is tailored to each pup’s needs. My goal is to provide a safe and positive environment where dogs feel loved and secure while providing daily walks, playtime, feedings, administering medications, and offering comfort and companionship. I am attentive to behavioral cues and always prioritize their well-being so you can feel confident knowing that your pup is in good hands! I am currently working part-time from home and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My hours are quite flexible and include weekends and nights. I do not currently have pets in my home which will allow me to provide all of my attention to your pet! I have a large fenced yard and space to separate dogs if needed,
About: I grew up in East Texas with 3 Bengal tigers in my front yard and a minuture potbelly pig named Bubba in our home. I currently have a Exotic Micro Bully named Gucci who loves all other animals. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is Gucci and we would love to have your animal and promise to keep them safe. They will be walked and entertained. If your pet doesn't like other pets then we might not be the best fit. Gucci can handle just about anything but he is so socialized that I don't think he would defend himself even if he needed too. Please only other animals that are completely okay with other pets. We go to the Westmoreland County Dog Obodeience School once a week and will pass on all knowledge we learn to those that will let us teach them. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is non stop pet care. You will have no worries of your pet being left unattended. Gucci is never left alone and neither will your pet. Lots of walks and love! If you would like your pet crated for whatever reason please provide it. We are a crate free home. I live in an apartment but it's a big one and we take lots of walks.

“George did a fantastic job staying with all our furkids! He sent daily updates/pictures and worked hard to make sure they all had stellar care! We had zero worries while on our trip!”

About: I have a farm and have taken care of all animals since I was a little girl! I especially love dogs, cats and horses. Can’t wait to meet your fluffy friends ps I also love walking dogs! I currently work part time as a hairstylist! I create my own schedule and am pretty flexible. Your pets are my main priority. So I will work around whatever best works for them! I will suit to the needs of your pet. Whatever makes the owner and the animal happy. I love spending quality time with the animals!
About: Experienced with animals of all ages and types. Disabilities or hyperactive. No matter the personality type, I’m sure your pet(s) and I will vibe :) I’ve been traveling the world for 6 years now and it seems everywhere I go, an animal in need finds its way to me. In my album of photos, you’ll see the kitten with big ears who we rescued from a trash can in Colombia & found a home for. The stray momma dog who kept following us home & had 8 puppies while in our care in Guatemala who we then found a foster home for. The two kittens we found along the highway in Mexico after our car broke down (coincidence… I think not!) and my sister now cares for. The big dog with the messed up eye who we rescued along with 3 kittens & 5 puppies and found homes for them all & the big dog has his eye back :) along with various other strays who we’ve taken in, found homes for or simply gave tons of love (and food) to along our travels. I don’t have any pets of my own since I just moved here and travel often, which is why I’m on this app, looking to give some love and care to animals while their owners are away :) I am a mural artist and mostly do gig work that fulfills my soul such as animal interactions such as this app provides here :) Open to having pets stay with me if needed or able to go to your home to care for them. When I had my dog, I made her homemade raw food, so if this is something you do and would want me to do while you’re away, it wouldn’t be a problem. Would love to take them hiking or on walks as well!
About: I have had dogs and cats ever since I was 4. However, at age 12 I got my first dog just for me. I took it very serious and have loved taking care of dogs and cats ever since. I have raised a few dogs and cats of my own since they were young, some since actual birth. I have also taken care of a family dog whom was blind and deaf due to being very old. I currently can’t welcome pets into my own home, but I love caring for dogs so I wanted to still find a way to care for them! On days like now when it’s cold and everyone is busy, I have no issue walking your dog and ensuring they still get the outside experience without you worrying about their safety. I am big on giving regular updates and treating every pet as if they are my own. I’m a part time college student! Pretty much free with all online classes. I occasionally go to the gym but besides that, I’m always home. Think of it like if I’m babysitting someone’s child. It pretty much is for many dog owners, I would know as my dog Nya was very much my daughter lol. But it’s very important that I ask all the necessary questions so I can care for your pet the same way you would. If you give them treated only during certain behavior than I will too. If you only walk them in certain areas then I will too. It’s important to not only make every pet feel safe and comfortable, but to create an experience that doesn’t feel to far from home. That way not only does the pet feel happy, but once they are back to their owner it feels like they never left.

About: I’m a pre-vet student with years of experience in vet clinics, pet sitting, retail pet stores, animal shelters, and general pet care! I’m a senior at Slippery Rock University earning my Bachelor’s in Science of Biology, with hopes to attend vet school! For more testimonials feel free to check out my pet sitting business’ Facebook page: Katie’s Pet Care As a full-time student, I try my hardest to fit work into my schedule! As I am currently on Christmas break until January, I have all the available time possible to take care of your pets! I’ve cared for client’s pets for drop-in visits, overnights, all-day visits, walks, administered medications, and so much more! I am willing to work with anyone on any service they may need!
About: Hi, I'm Jen and am a professional dog sitter, not a weekend warrior. I previously provided boarding and daycare services for years on Rover but sold my home and am now providing in-home care via drop-in visits or house sitting. I have one pup, Dave, who is 19 now and loves to have company and snuggle with pups no matter what size they are! Dogs are pack animals and need to have doggie company occasionally, it's good for their soul and temperament and Dave is a great doggie companion and will sit your pup(s) with me. While you are away I will also care for your plants, receive mail/packages and take care of your home. I have cared for pups since I was a kid (that's me in my profile pic aged 10). Rest assured that I am one of the most qualified Rover sitters and will take care for your pups and home better than most. A steady routine is best for pups so we will discuss your pups daily schedule and I will adhere to that (with a ton of extra play and cuddles, of course!). I will need to know their potty, feeding and sleep schedule as well as any medical issues they may have or medicines/vitamins they may take. The more information you provide the better! I am a professional full time sitter and am available to book 7 days a week. I will also care for your home while you are away and will provide all my own necessities. If you have a yard, we will play in the yard if that is your pups speed - if your dog is elderly and is more a sleepy-dog, we'll chill and snuggle. Knowing basic daily routine and habits as well as any medical issues is super important. Keeping your pup on schedule and in his/her daily routine will make his/her time away from you much easier. When I am with your pets they receive my full attention as pet sitting is my full time privilege. I take the care of animals very seriously and will treat your pets as my own. I do not currently sit pets in my home but am happy to sit them in yours via drop-ins or house sitting and will adhere to the care instructions you provide as well as share additional care options that I think may be beneficial to your pet(s), if any.

Im currently looking to take on a few clients (multiple pet families & senior/special needs pets/exotic pets) that require more of my time, training and attention. Some are just puppies lol Unfortunately, this app does not provide a description of your pet or what exactly you are looking for . If you think we would be a good match we can have a screening interview over the phone. And then I'd follow up with a meet and greet to do a hands-on assessment on your pet. And we could review the pet care needs and routine. My specialty is dogs with PTSD/behavior issues. I'm not afraid of aggressive or high maintenance dogs. Working with animals is my greatest passion. Currently available Tuesday-Saturday days, evenings and weekends. Works part time as a dog bather, working to become a dog groomer. Love spending my time w pets. Home/family setting doggie daycare/boarding & pet sitting centered around your pets specific needs. I have extensive experience in dog handling, belly rubs. Stocked up on treats, poop bags & puzzles for dogs & cats, I have a big comfy couch, 3 comfy chairs, a big picture window (nose prints encouraged) & fenced yard with a rabbit run.

Lydia is amazing and we know our fur babies will be well taken care of when she’s with them! We had back to back vacations and the communication before, during and after is superb. We felt so at ease leaving our dogs in her care. Not only does she take such great care of our dogs, but the house is spotless when we return. I’d highly recommend Lydia, she’s the best!

Lydia was amazing from start to finish! Great communication leading up to our trip and while we were gone… daily updates and pictures helped with our anxieties about leaving our guys for the weekend. The house was immaculate when we got home and all the dogs were well cared for. Would highly recommend Lydia 🐾
