Chelsea was awesome with Waffle! She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear Waffle was having a great time. Chelsea was easy to communicate with, reliable, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Waffle in her care. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!

I had Ivy stay with my girl Cassie for 3 nights. She did a great job! Cassie and I loved her on our meet and greet. She was very respectful of my home as well. She took the time to write down all feeding and medication times because she knew how important it was to give her medication every 12 hours. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. I get nervous leaving Cassie when I have to travel for work, but Ivy staying with her definitely put my mind at ease. I will be using her again for my next trip in a few weeks!

About: Where I live I’m not allowed to have any animals which is not a dream however, I get to live out my dream when I get to care and enjoy your animals while you are gone for the day or on trips! I work part time and I am a student. I like to keep the animals on the same timeline as you have them if I can. I will make the best accommodation I can! I enjoy playing and have fun while keeping the pet active. I try to keep everyone on their normal routine just with a spin of fun!

About: I have 5 pets of my own; 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are my world, truly. I have had pets most of my life, and have watched other peoples pets previously. Comfortable giving meds, feeding, playing, snuggling, etc. Certified in Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross). Have assisted with dog rescues & fosters. No matter the age or what special care is needed, I am on board. I can be available after 6pm on weekdays, flexible on weekends. I do work full time, so this will be a side job for me. At home we have an electric fence for the dogs, and our cats are strictly indoors. At a client’s home, I will provide all the necessary and recommended care asked from the parents. I am very respectful and responsible. You wouldn’t even know I was there; respecting others’ property is important for me. Remain clean, professional, and respectful.

About: Hello friends, furry and small, hairless or tall! My name is Anthony, and I have been in love with animals of all kinds since childhood. I would always be the family member to watch others' households and pets while they were away. As of recently I've maintained a household of my two dogs, Eve (Lab-Pit Mix; 36lbs.) & Wall-E (Lab-Border Collie Mix, 55lbs.), and my two cats, Salem (Short Hair; 9lbs.) & Loki (Short Hair; 16lbs.), and I have successfully fostered several other animals. I have experience in caring for all dogs of all kinds, conditions and sizes, and the same for cats! I tend to care for animals as best they should be, focusing on their mental, emotional and of course their physical health with diet, snacks, exercise, grooming and any other special need! I am often willing to share my thoughts, concerns or suggestions making sure you understand everything I am offering you and your pets and what ever other ways I can help. I am CPR certified for both pets & humans, and I have some veterinary assistance experience. I have a flexible schedule currently as I am not working a full time job, I can't wait to meet you & your pets! I'm currently working part time and I have a very flexible schedule I can move things around if need be to accommodate almost any need! I have years of experience going into the home while following any previous instructions if necessary. I can also feed, exercise, play or just sit with your pet or however to best suit yours & your pets' needs!

About: New to Rover, but not to pets! I’m offering an introductory rate while I build up my reviews on the platform. See my background in professional pet care below! I bring over three years of professional experience from multiple dog boarding and daycare facilities, in addition to living with my own furry family members since childhood. This background gives me both the technical skills to handle logistics - from managing high-energy playgroups to following strict feeding, and cleaning protocols - and the genuine heart to treat every guest like one of my own. My time at D.A.R.G. (Domestic Animal Rescue Group) in South Africa further sharpened my ability to connect with animals from all walks of life. Special Skills: Medical & Senior Care: I am comfortable and experienced in administering medications. Behavioral Awareness: Having worked with challenging temperaments and diverse energy levels, I know how to read body language and provide the right environment for shy, reactive, or high-energy pets. Cat Specialist: I understand that cats are unique. I approach them with patience and respect - always on their terms - ensuring they feel secure in their own space. Training Basics: I can reinforce basic commands and maintain the structure you’ve already established for your pet. ✨ Why Pet Owners Choose Me • Experienced with both dogs and cats • Comfortable with a wide range of personalities and behaviors • Patient and attentive - great with shy, energetic, or more sensitive pets • Able to administer medications if needed • Reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented • You’ll always receive updates and photos! 📸 Pet care is a consistent part of my daily life. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or helping out friends, I prioritize routine and reliability. My current schedule allows me the flexibility to provide dedicated check-ins, walks, and attentive overnight care. Because I’m used to the fast-paced environment of professional daycares, I’m excellent at time management and ensuring every "potty break" and meal happens right on time. My priority is making sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I show your pets. My Safety Protocol: Detailed Updates: You’ll receive regular updates with photos and videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Routine-Focused: I mirror your pet's existing schedule to minimize any "vacation anxiety." Attentive & Alert: My background in professional boarding has trained me to be hyper-aware of environmental hazards and subtle changes in a pet's behavior or health. Calm Presence: I provide a peaceful environment for more sensitive animals while offering fun, active engagement for those who need to burn off energy.

Brooke is an all around wonderful person and it translates over to the way she cares for dogs. Our dog, Chancha, had the best time with her! It was a last minute booking, too! My boyfriend took me on a surprise trip to propose and if it weren’t for Brooke’s quick response and willingness to dog sit, he might’ve haven’t had that chance or made this trip happen! So, thank you beyond words!!! She is responsible, compassionate, and truly someone that loves dogs. I wouldn’t skip her over! She is 6 stars out of 5.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, starting with pet sitting for family and friends and later working as a dog groomer in high school. My dog Bailey really shaped how I connect with animals and understand their needs. Now, I work with dogs regularly through shelter photography and in home sessions, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, temperaments, and routines. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is super flexible for your pup’s needs! I work Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday getting out by 4 PM on Sunday and Saturday and 6 PM on Mondays and Tuesdays. The rest of the week? I’m all yours! I’m also a total morning person, so even on workdays, I’m available for early walks and drop-ins before 9AM. Whether your pup needs some morning playtime or midday company, I’ve got the time (and energy!) to make it happen. After losing my dog Bailey, who was truly my best friend, I realized just how deeply I care for animals and how important it is to treat every pet like they’re your own. I’m incredibly attentive when I’m pet sitting always checking in to make sure your pup is happy, comfortable, and safe. I go on lots of hikes and adventures, but I never go unprepared I always bring an emergency kit and usually have a buddy with me, just in case. I also volunteer at shelters as a photographer, so I’m constantly meeting new dogs and have a lot of patience for pups with big personalities or nerves. Whether it’s cuddles, structure, or a good game of fetch, your dog’s needs always come first with me.

About: I've walked dogs (both my own and friends/customers) for the last few years. I've also previously owned my own dog for a few years. I'm able to keep your pups healthy, happy and well cared for while you are away. I am happy to provide walks, brush their hair, maintain routines, administer medication and feed. I promise to treat your dogs like they are my own. I work full-time in Soho and have a pretty flexible schedule. Although I don't have the same days off every week, I will update my schedule on the app accordingly. I have a fenced porch and live in a duplex apartment. I do have a cat in the apartment but she is timid and typically stays to herself. There are lots of parks nearby for dogs to play or be walked in.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was very young and have raised dogs & cats from kittens/pups to seniors. I love working with animals, and I’d love to work with yours! I work a part-time job as a tutor, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pups and kitties! I’m typically available most of the week, and most if not all of the weekend as well. I make sure that each pet is cared for the way they need it, according to their pet owner’s specifications. Some pets require nearly nonstop attention or walking outside around the clock while others only need to taken outside every few hours between naps. I follow the animal’s lead— but I always make sure that safety and health comes first.

About: My friends used to call my house a zoo. In all, I have cared for dogs, a beardie, a ferret, fish, birds, hamsters, you name it. The only animal I really don't have experience with is a snake, but I have always admired their beauty. No matter what species you love, I will love and acre for them just as much! I am a teacher, and therefore am available after 4 PM on weekdays, and on the weekends. I am available during Christmas break and all federal holidays. If we live within a few miles of each other, I can make myself available between 5-6:30 AM. I am open to coming to you, or keeping your beloved fur baby with me! I do not crate (unless of course you request it), and I do not have a fenced-in yard just yet, but we are on .25 acres (your love-bug would reside with myself and my boyfriend, who has 2 Golden Retrievers and 2 orange cats at his family's house). If you don't normally have your furbaby in bed with you, we will follow that plan, but I have no issue with a bad night's sleep if it means I get to cuddle them.

I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease.

I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.

Julia was such a great find! We hired her last minute to pet sit our dog when our Christmas travel plans changed, and she couldn’t have been easier to work with. She communicated clearly, responded quickly, and proactively shared updates. She was kind and professional, and I felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home. I’d absolutely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
