“Nancy was so kind to fit us in last minute. She was so friendly and sent me cute pics and updates of my dog. Maxi loved her and I would book her again any time!”

About: I am new to Rover, but not new to dog sitting! As a dog owner for majority of life, I have been without a canine companion for the last couple years after my last dog passed. Due to some newer work travel obligations, I don’t feel confident in owning a dog at the moment, so getting a quality fix while caring for other families’ doggos! Young puppies to senior dogs, I have had them all. From a 30-lb Shepard/chow/hound mix (Lucy) to a 100-lb chocolate lab (Belle) and a few in between (Irish setter,lab mix), I have had solo dogs and multiple dogs in the household at once. I am an active person who will hike / run / walk as each dog is interested or able to. For overnights, my house is a small two-story home. I have a fully fenced yard area, too compact an area for a dog to get up to full speed, but definitely large enough to accommodate a quality case of the zoomies. For drop-ins and pet walks, I am punctual, thorough, and a happy walker. And willing to jog with dogs who benefit from the extra cardio… I work full-time with a large degree of flexibility. Partially remote, partially in office on no “fixed” schedule. If I am booked, I am committed to working my schedule around the needs of the dog(s) to be home, to walk, to feed, etc. For overnights, my house is a small two-story home. I have a fully fenced yard area, too compact and area for a dog to get up to full speed, but definitely large enough to accommodate a quality case of the zoomies. No dogs in the household (hence the Rover profile!).

“Theodrick is a great guy, reliable and my dog loved him. Definitely rebooking. Thank you soo much 🫶”

About: Hey there! My name is Natasha and I have been an avid dog lover since I was young. My partner and I both WFH and we have a fully fenced in front and backyard for the pups to play and roam. With my 8+ years of dog care experience, it's my pleasure to make our house your dog's favorite home away from home! A little about me: My first dog was a Christmas gift when I was 16. Despite being on crutches, I learned a lot about dog training and care. Fast forward to 7 years ago, I rescued my border collie and trained her to become a service dog. We go everywhere and do (almost) everything together - including taking care of other dogs! I also now have a Foster dog, Ashe, who is very docile, gentle, and sweet. She's just happy to be here! I am also happy to watch your pet(s) at your home as my partner can take care of the gang here at home while I'm away. Whatever works best for you! Either way - your pets will be loved, mentally and physically engaged, and cared for however long you need! I work remote full-time and set my own schedule. Nyla joins me for runs, frisbee sessions at the park, hikes, and fetch 5-6 days a week. After that, it’s all cuddle puddle. We also do some training on our walks for breakfast! We go for a long walk in the morning and evening, with plenty of short breaks throughout the day - or one of the aforementioned activities! Safety is of utmost importance to me. I know many dogs have lots of ways they communicate their boundaries and I keep a close eye for any or all of them your dog may show. We have a fully fenced in front and backyard, a way to divide the two, and live in a residential neighborhood. I work with each pet to learn their comfort level and earn their trust on their terms and timetable. Nyla and our foster are both crate trained so separation is always available if need be!

“Jade has been a great companion for Ace! She has been reliable and flexible with our schedule. It’s nice to get a report and pics with each visit.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up in a home where they were truly part of the family. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones while they’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. I also have a dog of my own, Lev, a 6-year-old male who has taught me a lot about patience, communication, and positive reinforcement training. Because Lev can be leash reactive, I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and handling walks calmly and safely. Through consistent positive reinforcement, we’ve built successful and enjoyable walks together. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and fun experience for every pup in my care. I currently WFH full-time! Afternoon/evenings between 3-7pm on weekdays are ideal times for walks and visits. Weekends would vary, but I have pretty open availability in general! My own pup gets at least three walks a day—a long walk first thing in the morning and another before bed, plus a midday walk for some relief and fresh air. We often go on other adventures, including the beach and the dog park, but this our typical schedule. Because of this routine, I’m very accustomed to walking during high dog-traffic times and always prioritize safe, attentive handling. I stay aware of our surroundings, read dog body language, and use positive reinforcement to keep walks calm, structured, and enjoyable for every pup.

“Daniel took great care of our 75 lbs pit bull, Rosie! He is very comfortable with large breed dogs and Rosie loved him. We booked 3 days in a row and will book again!”

“Sammy went above and beyond during her drop in visits this week with my kitty while I was out of town. She gave me great updates and she had no issues using an inhaler with Benny for the first time. She went overtime during her last visit when Benny had an accident just when she was about to leave my apartment for the final visit. I really appreciate her willingness to clean him and my apartment up as best as she could and to protect my couches from any unwanted stains until I could return. She was very professional about the accident and didn't complain once for having to stay 30 minutes longer. This is why Sammy is my go to sitter!”

About: Not your average dog caretaker! I am a big dog lover! I have experience walking and taking care of dogs, puppies as well as seniors, small, medium sized and with a high energy level. Walking with your dog is not just a good exercise, it is also a good opportunity to show them attention and affection. I take a trust based approach to dogs and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved when they are with me. My goal is to leave you with a happy dog and to leave your dog with a satisfied owner. Animal care is a big part of my daily routine, and I love spending time with dogs. With my flexible schedule, I can provide walks, sitting, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and safe while their owners are away. I provide personalized care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and a safe environment. My husband and I live in a pet friendly, cozy bungalow with a lot of grass areas. Whether in my home or a client’s, I follow their routine to keep pets happy and well cared for.

“Jazmin did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. She communicated well and sent great photos. She also responded to additional requests promptly. I will be asking for her help in the future!”

“Tyra was friendly, responsible, and communicative. My piggies got lots of treats, hay, water, and pellets. Tyra sent lots of pics and was there on time both days!”

About: I had my 16 year old dog Dakota since she was a puppy until she passed away earlier this year and I've fostered multiple senior dogs over the last couple of years for Frosted Faces. I only accept small dogs (under 16lbs) for daycare and boarding with a max of 3 dogs at any given time so you can be sure your dog will get dedicated attention and not be overwhelmed. If you need your dog(s) to be the only one in the home please let me know if the request message. If this is your first time using rover you can sign up via https://www.rover.com/sit/melant42759 or use promo code MELANT42759 for $20 off your first booking. I work full time from home and my schedule is pretty flexible - I can take breaks as needed to take care of the dogs. I live in a one bedroom apartment, there is no fenced in yard but the door always remains closed. I wouldn't take any dogs out without their collar and leash on. There is a set of stairs to get up to my apartment (~12 steps), I can carry dogs up and down if needed. The apartment itself is one level and I have doggy stairs to get on the couch as well as a gate to keep them in a carpeted area if they need that for balance or anything.

About: Hello there! 👋😃 I am excited to connect with you and learn about your precious fur babies! 🥰 My name is Jess and I am a lifelong cat and dog mom. With 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 2 fish at home, it’s safe to say I am a devout animal lover who cares deeply for our dear companions. I value safety, trust, communication, respect, and over-the-top high level, heartfelt care. Our animals are family, and I don’t take it lightly when I am entrusted with the safety and care of a sweet, precious little being! 🐕‍🦺🐾 I work for myself & remotely, so I have complete control over my schedule! This allows for maximum flexibility and enables me to come most anytime you’d need me. It is important to me to treat your space with the same love, respect, and care with which I treat my own home. I adhere to your house rules and have a personal policy of leaving a space better than I find it.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 years old and I’ve always had a genuine love for animals. Over the years I’ve looked after pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ve volunteered at adoption and rescue centers. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I treat all pets like they’re a part of the family. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to providing loving care while you’re away. Although I am not a certified trainer, I happen to be very committed to become one and I think taking care of your best friend will help me get there. I am currently working a full-time job and I am available on the following days: Monday-Friday 6PM-10PM And Sunday 10AM- 8PM Please don’t feel discouraged to reach out on a day not listed! I live in a pet friendly apartment community with a dedicated dog spa, so your best friend can enjoy a bath if needed. I also have two friendly puppies fully vaccinated who can provide companionship for social pets. If your dog prefers their own space or has a different energy level I am able to safely crate or separate them to ensure every pet is comfortable, relaxed, and receives personalized care based on individual needs.

“Yuma is the best! I highly recommend her for your pet needs. Thanks so much!”

About: Have had family dogs all my life and my little guy for almost 5 years. I know the amount of work and dedication it takes to give them a happy and full life. I have also pet sit for friends both dogs and cats over the years. My friends know I’m someone they can depend on. I work from home primarily east coast hours so can be flexible in the afternoons/evenings. If your home is close can also work around meetings earlier in the day! I want to make sure your pet has a relaxed and comfortable time with me. I personally get pretty anxious when someone is checking in or taking care of my pet so I will do my best to ease that feeling for others.
