I knew that my cats were in good hands under Julie's care. She was very cognizant of the timing of the medication that one of my cats needs and kept me updated on how they were doing. Photos were received every day so I could see how the fun they were having with her. I will definitely look to Julie to come take care of my cats again.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my family my whole life. I currently have a 6 year old dog, a 5 year old dog, and a 3 year old cat and I love them all so much. My wife and I both trained our dogs the basics as in sit, shake, down, and potty training and with all that we found out our dogs are very food oriented. As for our cat we honestly didn’t train him at all but he does run the house. I currently have two jobs. One is Mon-fri from 6pm-9:30pm and the other is an overnight wed-sat from 10pm-7am. Sunday I am free starting from 2pm, Mon-wed I am free from anytime in the morning to 5pm. I can also do any drop ins early in the morning after work if requested thurs-sun. I will typically take care of all the pets in the mornings after work and then in the evenings before work. When I not able to during the days when I work graveyard shifts my wife and siblings are always home to help take care of all the pets. I have a closed off backyard for my doggos and plenty of room for them to run around and play together. Also have plenty of treats and toys for them inside the house as well.

About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, since I was about 5 years old, I’ve cared for 7 of my own, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds like Dobermans. I’ve raised all of them from puppies, including two full litters, so I understand the patience and consistency needed for training and socialization. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs with medical needs and disabilities, giving me the skills to provide attentive, gentle, and reliable care for pets of all ages and conditions. I’m currently a full time student! Taking a couple classes! I have many days where i’m not busy! So i decided to give away my time ! I always prioritize pets’ safety, comfort, and routines. In your home, I follow feeding, meds, and schedules carefully. With me, pets get a safe, loving environment tailored to their needs, whether playful puppies, seniors, or special care. Every pet is treated like family.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep respect, love, and attention I give every animal in my care. I truly believe animals show us how to love, live in the moment, and connect with the world around us. Because of that, I see caring for pets as more than a job — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a relationship I genuinely value. My dedication to their care, comfort, and protection makes me a strong advocate for their joy and safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs so they feel secure, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets who need patience, consistency, and exercise, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentleness, extra monitoring, slower walks, medication support, and calm companionship. Whether a pet wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply rest quietly nearby, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, loving environment where pets are treated like family and owners feel complete peace of mind. Every day starts with pets first. The morning begins with fresh water, a snack if needed, and then straight outside to the fenced backyard for a potty break. For dogs, the next part of the routine is one of my favorites — a 3–4 mile walk to help them get exercise, stimulation, and a happy start to their day. After the walk, we settle in for breakfast if that’s part of their routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are never left without attention for long. While I’m cleaning, kitchen prepping, or working around the house, I take frequent breaks for cuddles, playtime, and backyard visits. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I make sure every pet gets regular affection, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I care with attention, intention and detail. I check in often and spend time just sitting with and talking to. I give So much LOVE.

About: Hello all! Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! A little about me is that I am a huge animal lover (especially a dog lover) so much so that I began watching dogs for many family and friends and from there I became the go-to dog sitter in my area! What I enjoyed about it was spending time with different breeds and learning about their unique personalities. So, I decided to gain clientele once I heard about rover. I now have a pup that is a little over 3 years old and he is very sweet and loves all people and gets along with other dogs. My goal for your pets stay is for you and your pup to feel comfortable and safe, as I would want for my own dog. I send various updates and am open to special requests. I promise you, your pup will be in great hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule-so I am completely free to care for your pets most of the day. Working from home gives me the flexibility to accommodate to your dogs schedule by making sure they stick to a similar routine that they are used to at your home. I have a very friendly pup that would love to be friends with your pup! We have a fenced in yard for them to enjoy. I am very knowledgeable on body language when it comes to dogs socializing together and will never leave your dog unattended with mine just to be extra cautious. However; a meet and greet is recommended before booking overnight stays to ensure our pups will do well together. Still unsure if I’m the right choice for your pet? No worries! I am available to take any questions you may have!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was in middle school. Everyone in my neighborhood asks me to dog sit and I love it!! I make my schedule around the pets I care for, they are my first priority! I promise to make time for whatever the pup I’m taking care of needs. I have a fenced yard and one medium sized pup at home. I love to play with dogs so the more playful the better! I also live right in front of the desert and love to walk down there everyday!

Amy did a great job watching our cat. Our cat can be a bit elusive, but Amy made an extra effort to connect with him and make him comfortable. She was also very helpful in offering to take care of plants & bring in package delivery. Daily pictures & texts made us feel comfortable. I would definately recommend Amy.

About: I’ve gained most of my experience working directly with animals in a veterinary clinic, where I assist with daily care, handling, and monitoring of pets. I regularly work with dogs of all sizes and personalities everything from playful puppies to senior dogs that need a gentler approach. A big part of my role is also helping care for boarding pets at the clinic. I assist with feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring medications are given accurately and on schedule. This has given me strong experience maintaining routines and providing attentive, reliable care for pets staying away from home. Outside of the clinic, I’ve also cared for pets in home settings, making sure they stay on their normal routine, get proper exercise, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to balance structure with a calm, loving environment. I am a pre vet college student right, I have lots of free time during the weekend. I am available to house sit in the comfort of your home on the weekends Friday-sundays. I also offer dog walk during the week, more availability in the weekends. I approach pet care with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I work closely with each pet parent to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and needs. My goal is to create a calm, secure environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. Every dog is different, so I take time to build trust and adjust my care based on their personality. Whether it’s sticking to their walk schedule, maintaining their feeding routine, or helping them feel less anxious while you’re away — I work with you to create a plan that supports their well-being.

About: I've been taking care of pets about as far back as I can remember. My family had six dogs for most of my life, alongside a variety of other pets such as cats, guinea pigs, birds, hermit crabs, fish, snakes, and more. I was the primary caretaker of all of these animals, and have amassed a lot of experience in pet care. I love animals more than anything, and I get along amazing with most animals I meet, even the timid ones. I've worked a variety of pet-sitting and dog walking jobs over the years, and am now doing some pet care as an in between while I am job searching. I am happy to accept any request within the next 1-2 weeks. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As I am only doing Rover currently, I will be able to fit your pets into my schedule almost anytime with ease, at the behest of your schedule. Wherever your pet is housed, I will accompany them 24/7 to ensure their safety and happiness. They'll get to spend plenty of time exploring outside, and I'll make sure that your dogs will have plenty of fun and exercise. I am committed to three basics of pet care: a safe, clean, and fun environment.

Pam and Kath were absolutely wonderful. We needed a mid-day visit because we didn't want to leave our dog alone. They stayed with her an hour, which was exactly what we needed. Later in the day they checked in with us to make sure we were back home. That's incredibly thoughtful and showed us how responsible and caring they are.

Kellie was absolutely wonderful. She did a great job of updating me and providing pics of my dogs to let me know they were doing well. When I got back they were happy and healthy. She saved my bacon, allowing me to go to my sister's wedding, while putting my mind at ease that my dogs were getting the necessary care. She went above and beyond on that front, and I'm incredibly grateful for her care of my dogs.
