About: I currently have two dogs. My miniature Aussie, Bonnie, is a 12 year old pup who I have had since she was a puppy. My other pup is a black lab named Spade and she is 13 years old. Caring for these two girls brings me so much happiness that I decided to branch out and offer pet care services. I currently care for one other dog, a vizsla, that is almost 3 years old. He stays overnight with us when his parents are out of town. I also babysit a 10 week old black lab puppy at my house whenever her parents are busy.

Our two dogs love the yard and spend a lot of time out there whenever we are home. We have ample toys to share for entertainment! Our dogs love to bring their toys outside to play. The two other dogs I care for love playing in the yard as well. It is never a dull moment with this crew! I do allow our two dogs to lay on the couches with us as well as the other two pups I care for sometimes. I use harnesses on my two dogs for their walks around the neighborhood. I live in a low traffic neighborhood that is great for walking around. I can offer drop ins as well to walk, feed, or play with your pup.

About: Well honestly I just love dogs. I've had once since i was a kid. As well as hamsters and gerbles. I love to interact with them. I also love house cleaning and decorating for events. I feel like they are fur babies. They want love and attention just like us humans. Im also a Grandma of 4. My hours are very flexible. As long as I set my schedule every week I can assist with taking care of animals. I'm able to manage my time wisely. I've only taken care of one elder dog while she went to Mexico for a month. He was 12 yeats old at the time. I offer services that are needed for the dogs.

About: I’ve only had one dog but I’ve been around dogs, big and small, my whole life. I’ve worked at a doggy day care where I supervised dogs as well as groomed and bathed. I currently work at a vet clinic where we not only examine dogs but also board and bath! I’m currently in college full time and work at a vet clinic so I’m very well experienced with pets! I work part time so I still have days off and work short shifts! I currently have a whole room dedicated to my cats with all of their needs and this is really their house I’m just living in it! I have plenty of pet shampoo and grooming tools if needed as well.

About: Hello, Furbaby Parents!!! I love and treat my furbabies like human babies...and, to me, they are. A baby is a baby. They need love, nourishment, direction, and laughter and that is what your baby will get while at our home. 🐈🐕😍 I try to only keep 1 dog at a time, in addition to our 2. I find it helps ease any new pup's anxiety if only 1 new personality is added at a time...to our melting pot of permanent characters. Lol I know that it is difficult to leave your pet with someone new but I can promise you that they will be loved, cared for and treated with the utmost respect. And they will not be kept in a kennel unless specified by you! Our home will be their new vacation spot. I hope they love to play with cats! 🐈 All rates are negotiable depending upon the situation or circumstance. I'm here to help!! I am currently taking time off to stay at home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available 7 days a week, anytime of day or night. I have a yard and 2 friendly pups to play with your baby. I also have kitties to keep your pup entertained. Nothing but excitement over here!

About: My family has always had multiple dogs, and at the age of ten i received my own puppy, a black lab named Tucker. We currently have eight dogs, all varying from small to large and young to old. Although i have more experience with dogs, we had our fair share of cats and kittens too. I have my own mobile massage business, so my schedule is flexible for a variety of pet services. Some of my hobbies include pole fitness, and going on adventures with my dog and boyfriend. I understand how important it is for our fur babies to have interaction during the day, so that they don’t get bored and destroy property. Please consider me for your next Rover job. I take my pup on a walk most mornings during the week and we go to the dog park most weekends. Play time is essential! When we go to sleep and when we leave the house my dog goes into the kennel, but if he’s allowed to come i will most likely bring him. My dog gets fed once a day.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, including a Labrador, several chihuahuas, and mixed breed cats. I have also volunteered at several animal shelters, working with dogs and cats of various sizes. I am fearless when it comes to cleaning up bathroom breaks and other various incidents. I love playing with animals and making sure that they get their daily dose of exercise, because it is just as important for them as it is for humans. I take great pleasure in helping those that are completely helpless without the kindness of people. I am an activist in the animal community, working with shelters to help them spread awareness about adoption and helping pets find their forever home. I have just moved to a new city, and freelance jobs like this are exactly what help me keep dinner on the table. Right now, I have more time than I know what to do with. I feed my own twice a day, and I have three with very different diets, and I clean out their litter boxes daily. Of course, pet care includes play time, which they receive daily through playing with teaser toys and doing tricks for treats--what few tricks they would learn! I can provide any and all specialized care because each animal is an individual and requires something different to live a healthy, happy life. I can take dogs on walks as often as needed and play with them to help release pent-up energy. I am meticulous about logging when I do what for each pet I am pet-sitting, and I am more than willing to share such a log with the owner if they would like.

About: I have always has a love for animals. Even as young as 5, I realized animal care was my passion. I turned that passion into a career and worked in vet medicine for close to 10 years. I have experience in all stages of life from puppy to senior care with everything in between. With my background I also have experience in quite a few diseases including diabetes and heart failure. I am not stranger to giving medications in creative ways. All animals deserve respect and I strive to give them the same care their parents provide. I love learning their personalities so I can provide exactly what they need, in the way they need it. I own a nutrition business, loaded tea and protein shakes. The hours are 7a-3p so I have afternoons available, everyday. Some days I do not come in my shop at all and have more availability during the morning but mostly every afternoon and weekend I have time to go play with your pups and take them on walks! I have a fenced in yard that has been made escape proof. It was not an easy task considering 2 of my babies are the sneakiest escape artist.

“Devan was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her. She walked my dog and gave her as much love as I do. I appreciated the pics as well. She is very flexible, dependable and responsible. My dog Beauty loves her. It really takes a lot of stress out of trying to juggle a busy schedule and not having to worry about “how I’m going to walk my dog ” on a day when I need to be away from home for longer hours than normal. Devan is close by, she can walk my dog and I have peace of mind knowing my dog will be walked, fed and comfortable when I return home. That’s what’s most important to me. I will continue to use her in the future! Thanks ?”

Mia P.
“Mia is a wonderful pet sitter and I highly recommend her. She has always been my go to person for taking care of my Corgi when I’m away. I can always enjoy my time away when I know she’s the one caring for my dog, because I know that she genuinely cares about my pet’s well-being. This is clear to me, as she’s always very attentive to any of their needs and she always goes the extra mile to make sure their happy and content.”


Rachel W.
“I have had Rachel pet-sitting for me since she was ten years old. I frequently am away for business trips and she is always reliably available whenever I need her to be.

She was loved by my pets as soon as they met her and I have yet to find a pet that did not like her.”


Maggie C.
“Between her experience as a veterinary technician and her compassion for not just her own but towards every animal she meets, Maggie has been my number one resource for anything related to my pets for more than 15 years now. I often go to her for a first opinion before I go to my own veterinarian if I have any questions or need advice about my pets, and I know that I can always rely on her if I need any help in taking care of my critters.”


Victoria P.
“Victoria did a wonderful job looking after my two med/large dogs. I planned ahead and every time I needed her to look after them she conveniently for me was available or could work it into her schedule. She communicated any schedule issues (I.e. if she had to be an hour later due to conflict) to ensure it wouldn’t be an problem in advance. My dogs clearly enjoyed her visits and they were well taken care of. Honestly disappointed she has moved further away, but she still fills in when she can make it work. Always grateful when you find a reliable and trustworthy individual and cringe when you lose them. Not an ounce of hesitation recommending her to others!”


Olivia B.
“Olivia is an outstanding pet and house sitter. She has taken great care of our now-senior, special needs dog many times over the years. She’s responsible, friendly, and a real animal lover.”
