“Ruth has been amazing the last two times she has taken care of my babies! Sends pictures and updates each time, makes sure they’re in a good spot before she leaves, and is very flexible and on time each visit.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 5 years old! I’ve taken my time to learn animal behaviors and I can assure your pet will be in good hands. I have had the chance of taking care of multiple animals! Ranging from dogs, cats, goats, pigs, many kinds of birds, reptiles, amphibians and many more. Ive also taken care of many animals of many ages in life. I am mostly always free! I am a student just earning money and experience to become a future veterinarian. I have a great passion for all things animal related so I hope to have the greatest opportunity to take care of your pets! (Hablo español) (I cannot stay overnight!) I am currently a student just earning money and studying. So I am almost always free! (unless my parents planned something.) If anything comes up I will always let you know! I have a dog of my own that is very friendly! If you'd like to socialize your pet I can help! I don't mind buying things to ensure your pets needs are met. (within reason and budget of course)

About: I have worked with animals for approximately 9 years. I have cared for birds, fish, small animals, lizards, farm animals and the like, both personally and professionally. I have experience in everything from the smallest mouse to the largest bull. I have worked in Veterinary Clinics, Shelters, and taken care of pets in a professional at home setting. I have also bred hamsters and parakeets professionally. I volunteer in shelters in my spare time as well. I love animals, and I can't think of a better way to give back than caring for them. I am an at home wife, and looking for a from-home type of work. I Am available and flexible based on client's wishes. Aside from grocery or errand runs, I am pretty available and flexible. I live in a first floor apartment, in a gated community. I have a 5x3 fenced patio. I have a dog park approximately 300 feet from my house, inside the gated community. My husband is transitioning from an office job to a from-home job. He love animals and is excited to play and take care of the animals and any other animals I live in a quaint gated community. There is a dog park a stone's throw away from my apartment. We also have a lake right near the residence, and we can do lake side walks. I am very playful and energetic so chasing, fetch, ticklefights and snuggles will be a very common occurrence. Apartment has an open/minimal layout, which is perfect for ample play room. The patio is gated and chest level, so the dogs would be able to spend time in the sun if it's not too hot. I also provide snacks (with owner's permission). Both me and my husband are stay at home workers and we are available all times for sitting. I am a night owl and he is an early bird, so we have all day coverage. An open layout apartment with open playroom. We have a fenced in patio area, which puppers can use if it's not too hot. We have a dog park a few hundred feet from the residence and we take dogs there at least 1 times per day if weather permits. On top from the 3 daily walks.it
“Alberto was wonderful! Warm, friendly, fantastic with my dogs and extremely knowledgeable with tons of experience. He is very trustworthy, professional and easy to communicate with. He showed up when scheduled and my dogs loved getting to spend time with him---plus he brought treats! I highly recommend!”
About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all. I'm retired, so I can easily work in walks, drop-ins, and sittings during my days. Most days I'm available after 10 A.M., but I'm flexible. I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.
About: I am an animal lover who’s enjoys playing and cuddling with all the fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual needs of every animal I care for! I have experience with puppies to elder dogs and give medication if needed. Routine schedules, play time and potty schedule is ideal. I do try to stick to the routines of the animals so they know what’s coming. I am available most mornings, evenings and weekends. I’m currently working full time but available in the morning, evening and weekends. I live with my boyfriend who is home most days and own a crate to crate while gone. I have a very friendly dog named stitch who is eager to play with your babies! When in thw back yard your baby will be on a leash to use the potty.

Typically, I also do plant care as well if I am pet sitting in your home.
“Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!”


“Our cats were very well taken care of by Vanessa. She was able to drop in last minute, voiced any concerns quickly, and even made us feel great about our home. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 11 years. Currently, I have a Boston Terrier who I helped potty train. I also have an Island dog known as a pot cake. I enjoy walking them and playing frisbee, tug, ball etc. with them. I will take excellent care of your pets, and I am reliable, and trustworthy. I am attending college but will have a lot of free time before or after classes, and I am available on the weekends and holidays. I have a fenced in yard.

“Samantha was wonderful with our two dogs! She was friendly, on time, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her visits, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and happy. We highly recommend Samantha and would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. As a foster family for the SPCA, I learned to be tender and caring with animals, while walking large dogs has taught me the importance of discipline. Walks usually go around Lake Hollingsworth or to the park! My schedule is flexible. I should be able to meet you and your pets needs and fit your schedule. I look forward to helping out however I can. Walks route through neighborhoods, lakes, or parks, allowing time for exercise, sniffing, and bathroom breaks. I monitor their behavior closely, ensure they stay hydrated, and keep them focused on the workout. If a dog moves unpredictably (or chases squirells etc.) I adjust the route or pace to keep the pet comfortable and safe.
About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.
Kathleen pet parents share their Rover experiences
T.J was the perfect match for my high energy fur baby Isabella, she was given all his attention from playtime to potty time. He followed all her feeding routines for her and my baby kitten Levi very well. Sent me pics and messages throughout his time with them. Felt very comfortable especially knowing he gave me his time to meet her prior to booking which was wonderful. Highly recommend
