About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. From raising dogs from puppyhood to their senior years to caring for my own beloved cats, I understand the deep bond we share with our pets. My flexible work schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furry family members, ensuring they never feel lonely. Through my years of experience with friends' pets and on Rover, I have cared for animals of all ages and temperaments. I am well-equipped to handle: Diverse Needs: Experience with high-energy breeds, high-anxiety personalities, and pets with permanent physical disabilities. Specialized Care: Comfortable with senior needs, administering medications (pill takers), and managing picky eaters. Routine Consistency: I aim to follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and separation anxiety. Frequent Updates: I know how it feels to miss your fur babies, so I prioritize sending plenty of photos and updates to keep your mind at ease. Whether your pet is big or small, they will receive the same patient, loving care I give my own. I look forward to meeting your best friend! Due to my flexible job, I am able to care for a pet any time of day. It's pretty rare for me to have time restrictions. I always do my very best to maintain your pets daily routine so to keep anxiety levels down and make sure both pet and parent feel comfortable.

“Maciyah was super accommodating and helpful when I had to book her last minute. And Duke seemed to really enjoy his stay. She sent tons of pictures and got him lots of walks. I highly recommend boarding with Maciyah.”

About: Hello! I am new to using the Rover app, but have several years of experience caring for many different breeds and ages of dogs. I’m an active person & work from home, so I can be attentive to your pet’s needs and regular routine. I am happy to provide references if you’d like to learn more from owners I’ve worked with in the past. I work from home and am available to pet sit overnight and during the day. I regularly provide overnight care, daytime walks & runs, and extended stays. I typically come to the pet and stay in your home. I find this is easiest for everyone and keeps the pet(s) in their normal routine. My preference and focus is on maintaining the same level of care you provide your pet, which includes following their schedule and normal activities. Typically, I start with an in person visit to meet you and your pet and learn about their day to day schedule & needs. I’m happy to do trial-runs if that makes you more comfortable before your time away. I am accustomed to taking care of other house needs while you are away, as needed - mail, watering, etc. I clean my way out of the house before I leave.

“JJ was so amazing to work with. We had to leave our five month old puppy with a short notice and she stepped up to the occasion. She was able to come do a meet and greet beforehand, and she sent so many updates while we were away. Our pup loves play and enrichment, and she gave him so much time and attention to do his favorite things while we were gone. We highly recommend and had so much peace of mind with her care! Not to mention she’s punctual, a great communicator, and left the house spotless. Thank you, JJ!!”

“Misty was amazing! My dogs immediately bonded with her, even my dog that is sometimes wary of new people. She has a calming personality, sent photos, and always responded quickly! We all loved her. :) 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I’ve worked professionally with dogs in dog daycares in Detroit, Chicago, and New York, and I’ve also spent years as a dedicated dog walker and pet sitter in NYC. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs at once and have safely walked up to four dogs together. I have hands-on experience with leash manners and structured walking, including working alongside trainers who train police dogs. I understand proper leash etiquette, the “heel” command, and how to maintain calm, controlled walks — even with strong or energetic dogs. I’m naturally confident around dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve handled high-energy pups, nervous dogs, senior dogs, and even helped in situations involving illness or end-of-life care. I stay calm, observant, and focused on your dog’s safety and comfort at all times. I have two dogs of my own and truly treat every dog like family. My goal is always safety, a happy dog, and peace of mind for you. I'm a Digital Design contractor who works from home and at my own pace, so I have plenty of time for you and your fur babies and can work around your schedule. I have a large, fenced yard and a playful dog of my own. She is a young great dane, however, so when it comes to pet-sitting in my home, your dog must be comfortable playing with a large (105lbs), energetic, young female. I am happy to come to your home as well. I am respectful of your environment, I keep things clean and tidy, and I'll even water your plants.

“lauri helped us out recently with housesitting and watching our two cats - one of whom required medication twice daily and some other specifications throughout the day. lauri was great with caring for both him and his brother, giving them everything they needed and making sure that they were happy and healthy while we were away. she sent photos and detailed updates and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that she was looking after them. we came home to happy cats and a well taken care of house - i would highly recommend lauri and will be booking with her again!”

“Breanna did a fantastic job caring for our three dogs. One of them had just undergone surgery and needed extra attention, including keeping her cone on and her bandaged leg clean, dry, and properly covered. Breanna handled it all with care and consistency. Our pups are also very energetic and can be a handful at times, but she managed them beautifully—even when a potty accident happened. She also did a great job making sure our indoor-only cat stayed safely inside and collected eggs from the chickens each day. We were truly grateful for her help!”

Alexzandra D.

“Areatha was amazing with my girls! She accepted the job pretty last minute (late request by me, not a late response by her) and kept me up-to-date with photos. Even cleaned up a few litter messes! Highly recommend!”

Abbey Renee C.

“Cheryl is wonderful and very kind. Our dog Bella takes time to warm up to people and she didn’t have a problem warming up to Cheryl and snuggling on the couch with her. I already have her booked to house sit for us before the end of the year. Thank you for your care of our pack, Cheryl!”

“Brandon was awesome 👍 really responsive and cared for my dog great, which was reassuring because this was her first time with a sitter”

“Karina has house sat for me/my pets three times now and each time has been great. She is very respectful of my home and the animals seem to love her. She sends pics daily along with little updates and doesn’t get annoyed by even the neediest creatures (my cat and dog want attention 24/7). I will continue to use her for my pet sitting services in the future!”

“Charlotte was absolutely wonderful with my dogs, Mabel and Marty. She stayed at my home for 10 days while I was away, and I could immediately tell when I got back that they had been so well cared for. They were calm, happy, and clearly engaged while I was gone — which says everything. Charlotte is incredibly sweet and attentive, and she went above and beyond in every way. She kept my house completely spotless, left the kindest note, and even had calming music and a dog channel playing on the TV when I arrived home so the dogs were comfortable and relaxed. It was such a thoughtful touch after a long trip. I felt totally at ease knowing my dogs and my home were in such great hands. I would 100% trust Charlotte again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly caring and responsible.”
