About: Hi, this is Sara! :) We live in a townhouse with an small fenced yard where pups can play. The area is very nice to walk around and peaceful. I’ve always been an animal lover, especially dogs. I have over 3 years of dog sitting experience and walking. I will love and treat your dog like it was my own! I am very responsible, helpful, friendly and loving person. I have no issues with being in contact and sending pictures all the time to the dog’s parents. I have a part-time job from home. I have tons of time off during the day and weekends! I would have a lot of time to be with your pup! The area we currently live is very nice to walk around and even if the pups want to be in the yard it’s fenced and safe.

About: My name is Susan K. I have owned dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 dogs. I love taking selfies with dogs. I can handle small and large dogs. I can also take care of cats and fish and am willing to learn how to take care of reptiles. I am available days nights and weekends. I can take your dogs for walks and play with them to allow them to release their energy. I can play tug of war or fetch with your dog. I can also play with your cats as well because cats are fun too.

About: Growing up in the Philippines with 16 guard dogs shaped my deep love for animals. I truly believe pets are precious and deserve kindness and respect. Hi, I’m Mesh! I have years of experience caring for dogs and genuinely enjoy giving them love, attention, and playtime. We have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, laid-back cat named Mow-Mow. My husband works for the Government remotely, and I’m a stay-at-home mom of three, so your fur baby will receive plenty of time, care, and supervision. I provide regular potty breaks, outdoor play, and always make sure pets stay cool and comfortable, especially on hot days. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy so you can relax while you’re away, I’d love to help. We will love your fur baby like our own! PLEASE NOTE: A meet and greet is required with a physical presence of your dog before any booking is confirmed. Without a meet and greet, I am unable to accept bookings. Feel free to reach out anytime 🐾 My husband works remotely and I am a stay-at-home mom. And I guarantee a 24/7 on hand pet care for your pups. I update my availability every now and then.. And I accept booking on weekends.. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. In our home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and loving environment with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. I supervise all outdoor time and never leave pets unattended outside. Potty breaks are provided every 1–2 hours or as needed, and I carefully monitor each pet’s behavior to ensure they are comfortable and stress-free. Inside the home, pets have a cool, safe space to relax, especially during hot weather. Fresh water is always available, and I follow feeding schedules exactly as instructed. I can also administer basic medications if needed and follow any special care instructions you provide. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Building trust with both pets and owners is very important to me. I treat every pet as if they are my own — with patience, love, and full attention.

About: Experienced pet sitter with three long-term family clients, including a pack of three dogs who keep me on my toes! I raised and trained my own dog since she was 7 weeks old, so I’m very comfortable with puppies, routines, training basics, and lots of zoomies. I’ve also been a long-term cat sitter, so whether your pet barks, meows, or judges me from across the room, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule because I work part-time shifts that are typically either 11am–4pm or 4pm–9pm. I also have flexibility during the day for bathroom breaks, walks, feeding, and check-ins, so pets won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they stay comfortable and cared for. I care for pets by keeping them on their normal routine with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and affection so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About: As a dedicated dog owner, I understand that pet care is about much more than feeding and walks. It's about providing comfort, consistency, and peace of mind. Caring for my own 4-year-old Maltese/Shih Tzu has taught me patience, responsibility, and how important routine is for a happy pet. As a college student, I also understand what it's like to rely on trusted pet care when life gets busy. That's why I strive to create a positive experience for both pets and their owners by providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention while families are away. Every pet has a unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy building those relationships while creating a safe, loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a college student on summer break with a flexible schedule allowing me to dedicate time to walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and reliability are when it comes to pet care. I have a 4-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix that I care for daily, and I’ll treat every pet with the same attention, patience, and love I give my own dog.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of raising my dog from a puppy to now an almost senior dog! He’s been through some challenging health issues, and through it all, I’ve been his caregiver and more. He’s inspired me to return to school to study veterinary medicine and pursue oncology. I’m working towards paying for veterinary assistant program while in school and would love to get more experience in the process! I’m currently taking some courses and have more availability after 11 am on weekdays. I am also available mornings and evenings on weekends! I would say I’m pretty flexible :) I always try my best to keep my dog active, inside and outside of the house. This usually involves going on walks and or doing activities of enrichment at home

Melissa was amazing doing a drop-in visit for our four doggies while we were out all day! We have one dog who is pretty shy as she was feral, and I loved seeing a photo where she actually was by Melissa! Shows us Melissa has great vibes and energy, and when the dogs approve, so do us humans! Thank you so much Melissa!!💜

About: I’ve had cats since I was born, so I am literally a lifelong cat aficionado! Currently, I live with five cats. But I love dogs too and all animals! Throughout my life, I’ve had just about every type of pet you could imagine: fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, a hedgehog, birds, and more. I have had two dogs (both special needs) but growing up I was also entrusted to pet sit dogs of different neighbors and friends. I absolutely love animals and they bring me joy. I’d be honored to be entrusted to care for your pets! I am fully available Wednesday-Sunday every week! I am open to overnight sitting as well as drop in visits for walks, feedings, litter, play, etc. N/A; I am not able to host pets in my own home at this time. I need to use enough characters, so I will say that I have a fenced backyard.

Camila filled in for my regular person for a week on just a couple days' notice. She took excellent care of my 15-year-old Beagle mix with in-home visits while I was at work during the day. She sent sweet, reassuring photos and gave me a daily report on how my little guy was doing that day. I highly recommend Camila; she's a professional, responsible, friendly, and very dog-loving sitter.

About: My daughter's dream job is pet sitting so I am allowing her to be my assistant. We both LOVE all fury friends. I have had pets my whole life. Growing up in the country (NWPA), we had dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, and ducks. I learned alot about basic care as well as successfully treating various health conditions holistically because vets were not well versed in small animal care where I grew up so my mom and I learned alot of homeopathy, herbal, and flower remedies supporting the health of our pets over the years. I can also offer reiki for calming pets that are hyper or in poor health. I was very active in rabbit and dog 4H as a kid and learned dog training at the age of 12. My darling 9yo daughter Denise is an aspiring pet sitter and we are both available to offer much love and care to your fur babies. I also love gardening and can look after plants too. :-) I am currently working part time from home with flexibility in my schedule so we can be available as needed for your convenience. We would love to offer drop in visits but eventually can offer boarding as well. We are available to check in on your fur babies, offer fresh food/water, dog walks, play breaks, administer meds, and can send picture updates via text.

We are very happy we used Emily to sit for our cat Lola. Lola is a shy cat, and can have some food-motivated aggression at times, but Emily handled this so well! She sent great pictures and updates every visit that made us feel that Lola was in great hands while we were away. She also left our house in tip-top shape. We would love to book with her again

Andrew is an absolute dream dog walker! He’s communicative, takes fantastic pics of our pups, and executed lots of complex instructions on short notice. He came to meet our pups before a week away and they love him. We are definitely going to request him again for future needs!

This was my first time using Rover, I also needed a dog sitter really last minute so I was pretty nervous but Brenda put me at absolute ease with clear communication from the start. My dog is kind of a handful because she’s only 9 months old & this was the first time she had been taken care of by a stranger but I don’t think there could have been someone better than Brenda. She understood all the details, asked the right questions during our virtual meet & greet, & provided me with all the useful information I needed to have as a first time user. She took such good care of my pup, we will definitely book her again. Thank you so much Brenda for being so accommodating & kind, we had a wonderful experience.

Mahiya is a superstar dog sitter, there are not enough stars to rate her. Our dogs are a part of her family as they are of ours. She creates an environment that meet the dogs needs and more. She’s always accommodating and very flexible. Her home is a second home for our dogs, it is not a sitter’s home.
