About: Offering a calm, steady, loving and playful approach for you and your pets needs. No breed is too big or small. Growing up around and caring for animals I have a natural love and connection with dogs and cats. I’m here to support you for your needs with walking, playing, exercising, training, overnights and even specialty care as needed. No ask is too big or small. More than just a pet, they are a member of the family! Currently working part time and freelance so have a flexible schedule to accommodate different times and schedules as your needs require. We can come up with a set weekly schedule or on an as needed basis, When visiting with and caring for your animal I provide a calming and steady approach to getting familiar with your animal. I make sure to provide the most pleasant and rewarding experience by sticking to any routines, training, and treats while catering to your animals specific character. While being outside (in the yard or on walks) I ensure that the yard is properly closed off and/or they are wearing the proper gear for the selected activity. I make sure to abide by any food restrictions and that no other dogs or people come in contact with your animal for everyone’s safety.
About: Hello, My name is Maria! I will be going into my senior year of college, after I graduate I hope to continue my studies to become a veterinarian. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, play, and feed their pets while they were away on vacation or at work. Currently I am working at a local animal shelter where I have gained experience handling nervous and reactive dogs, as well as seniors and puppies. I have also been trained to administer medication. I love all dogs and will treat them as my own! During the school year I will only be available during certain hours so please send me a message to discuss what days/times you will be in need of my help! I will be respectful of your home and be inside only during the time of my services. I will leave everything as I found it.

About: I’m currently a college student pursuing a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and have a lot of experience caring for animals since I have four cats of my own. Taking care of them has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand different pet needs. In addition to my love for animals, I also work as a caregiver and a pharmacy technician, which has strengthened my skills in attention to detail, reliability, and compassion. These experiences make me confident that I can provide excellent care and attention to your pets while you’re away. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility. My experience also includes caregiving and working as a pharmacy technician, which means I'm very adaptable and can rearrange my schedule as needed to ensure your pet gets the best possible care. I can be flexible for specific needs. My caregiving experience has exposed me to numerous pets whose owners I cared for, and I assisted in their daily care. . My pharmacy technician background means I'm also comfortable administering medication if necessary. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I also have 4 cats, a bird, a couple of frogs who adore my household.
About: What sets me apart is my deep love and experience with huskies—I’ve proudly cared for three generations of my grandma’s huskies ( and if you know about them is that you NEED love in your heart and patience overall so I can proudly say I can take care of any dog with any necesity), each with their own quirks and needs. Since 2020, I’ve been actively training and dog-sitting, and over time, it’s become more than a job—it’s a passion. My friends even call me their “911” for dog walks and puppy emergencies! I’ve helped guide many first-time puppy parents with easy, effective care tips and routines. On any given day, I’m surrounded by a joyful pack of up to 10 dogs, and nothing makes me happier than sharing my energy, patience, and love with every pup I meet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work online, which gives me a super flexible schedule with free mornings and evenings. That means I’m able to adapt perfectly to your dog’s needs, whether it’s early walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles. Since I already care for a group of dogs daily, I’m used to creating a consistent, loving environment where every pup feels safe and happy. I love being active and outdoors, so spending quality time with dogs isn’t just doable—it’s the best part of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. In my home, I keep a clean, spacious, and dog-friendly environment where pups can play, rest, and feel right at home—especially those with high energy like huskies. I follow feeding schedules, keep water fresh, and make sure each dog gets individual attention, from walks to enrichment time. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care I give my own, sticking to their pet’s routines and preferences. I respect their space, keep communication open, and always leave things better than I found them. Whether it’s a puppy still learning or a senior dog that needs patience, I adapt and give them the love and structure they deserve.
About: I love that no two pets are quite alike, and I find so much joy in getting to know their little quirks and figuring out what makes them happiest! My experience with rescue dogs has taught me the value of patience and earning an animal’s trust. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specialized care instructions, and adapting to different routines! Over the next month, my schedule will be shifting to working at my once full-time corporate job, to working at the same company part-time, on Mondays and Tuesdays. This will leave the rest of my week open for pet care! I’ll be completing self-paced coursework around my pet-sitting commitments, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize visits, accommodate different routines, and spend quality time with the animals in my care! I believe safety starts with being attentive, prepared, and consistent. I listen carefully to owners’ instructions, make sure I understand each pet’s needs, and take extra care with things like leashes, doors, and surroundings. I pay close attention to body language and how dogs respond to unfamiliar situations, adjusting my approach to keep them comfortable and avoid unnecessary stress. I also prioritize clear communication so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter for over 5 years, and during that time I’ve also worked at a pet boarding and daycare, where I gained experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I passionately believe every pet deserves to be treated with love, patience, and respect. I’m certified in first aid for dogs and cats. I absolutely love animals, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a happy pet! I’d love to become your fur baby’s new best friend, or at least their third best friend! I’m available for walks and check-ins on weekday afternoons for dogs and cats. I love having time with some furry friends to elevate my day! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I know how hard it can be to leave your furry friend with someone new, so I’ll do my best to make every visit feel comfortable, fun, and stress-free. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means going for a walk, having some playtime, getting a meal, or simply giving them some extra attention and cuddles. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your pet is safe and supervised during our time together. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away!
About: I have five years of experience caring for pets and looking after homes through numerous house-sitting assignments. I've been surrounded by animals throughout my life. My experience includes caring for cats, dogs, fish, gecko, shrimps, birds, newborn kittens and puppies, as well as pets with additional care needs. I enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality and maintaining their familiar routines while their owners are away. I love animals and they usually love me back. I'm equally attentive to the responsibility of looking after someone's home. I'm an experienced pet & house sitter and yoga instructor with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I specialize in overnight and extended house sitting, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their own homes while their owners travel. I treat every home with care and respect, follow established routines and prioritize clear communication. My goal is to give homeowners peace of mind, knowing that their pets and property are in responsible hands. I offer live-in house sitting exclusively, rather than standalone drop-in visits. I treat every home with respect and every pet as a family member. I carefully follow owners' instructions, maintain established routines, and pay close attention to each pet's health, behavior, and well-being. My five years of house-sitting experience have taught me the importance of reliability, clear communication, and respecting homeowners' privacy. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel secure while their families are away.
“Krystyna was absolutely wonderful with our two kittens! She was caring, attentive, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave them. We would happily recommend Krystyna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”

About: I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the care of someone you trust -someone who's not just reliable, but who genuinely connects with animals. That's the kind of care I provide. I've spent most of my life around pets, especially cats, and I helped raise my brother's golden retriever, Katie, from the time she was a puppy. I was her main caregiver-handling walks, feeding, playtime, and regular visits to the dog park. Katie was sweet but very submissive, which meant she sometimes got overwhelmed in social settings. Through that, I learned to read subtle body language cues and step in calmly when needed. What really sets me apart is my patience and intuitive approach, especially with shy or anxious dogs. I let pets come to me on their own terms, creating space for trust to grow naturally. I've been told I have a calming presence that helps nervous pets relax and feel safe. If you're looking for someone who will treat your animal like a member of the family-and keep your home clean and cared for in the process -I'd love to help. I'll be ready to provide my time to help serve your pet at about 5:00 pm on the weekdays and I have all weekends off. Your pet's emotional well-being is just as important as their physical care. I always approach animals with patience, respect, and kindness. You'll never see me raise my voice or use harsh corrections- because fear doesn't build trust, it breaks it. Instead, I rely on calm communication, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I speak to pets in a moderate, reassuring tone and give them the time they need to feel comfortable. Whether your dog is full of energy or needs extra reassurance, I adapt to their needs to create a low-stress, safe environment where they can feel secure and understood.

“Great personal care taken with Klaus, Mike was very attentive to the instructions left for him! He took great care to ensure Klaus had everything he needed while I was away. He even brought him a tennis ball to play with! I will definitely be re-booking with Mike!”


“Jamie is great! As her profile shows she has a great understanding of cats. She knows how to approach them, their behaviors, and what to look out for. My cats warmed up to her instantly. Her knowledge is apparent in her notes which are detailed. She was able to get even better pictures of them than me. She was easy to work with and has an overall bright personality. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to other pet parents.”

About: Having dogs my entire life has granted me the luxury of being comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently, my mother and I are sharing custody of a rescue mutt. I'm also the go to dog sitter for my brother's pit bull terroir & lab. Just like us, our dogs need food, water, exercise and lots of love! I am happy to assist you with all of this and more. Including giving pet medications from pills to insulin. Open to discussing other needs not listed here! I currently work Monday through Thursday 8-5pm & Fridays 8-3pm in a dog friendly office. I do have an hour lunch break and am willing to use that time to stop by. My after work activities are extremely flexible! Weekends are also flexible and am happy to discuss overnight stays/boarding needs. If you're looking to board, please note that my condo association does not allow for 'large' dogs. There is also a 2 dog max. However, being comfortable with dogs of all sizes, I am sure we can work with my condo limits to meet your needs. If you have a fenced in yard I'm happy to throw a ball around or if your dog loves to destroy plush toys, happy to clean that up too! Hiking is also a personal love of mine and great for high energy pups.
“Daniel cared for my two cats today, and I am impressed! My cats are on two ends of the personality spectrum. One is young and friendly/affectionate, and one is older and, well, not that friendly. Daniel shared a photo of the older one sitting right next to him! She has actually never done that with a "new" person. He was prompt, communicative, responsible, and dependable. We would not hesitate for a moment to hire him again for any pet care needs. Meeting him has taken a later of stress off any future trips we book, and minimized the stress for our cats too, who clearly liked him better than they like us! Thanks Daniel!”
About: Fun, loving, kind to dogs. Love to play with them, been dog walking when my family needs me to experience if dog pulls/starts to run Looking for part time, as long as I can bring my son on weekends it’ll be fine. Weekdays M-F 9am to 2pm availability. Thank you! Enter home through side door and make sure to greet pets before doing whatever is needed to be done. Make sure pets don’t escape. Thanks!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Emily was an amazing cat sitter! She came to our home twice a day for our 5 day trip. Our cats were very well taken care of! One of our cats, Katie, required special medication and Emily administered her medication perfectly. Our cats were very healthy and in great spirits when we returned. We felt very comfortable and was able to enjoy our trip after leaving our fur babies with Emily. She was very communicative via Rover app and text and sent us photos and updates every day. We will be rebooking with Emily again soon!!!!

Faith has taken care of our cat Bella every time we travel, and we always appreciate her help! She is reliable, communicative, and gives us peace of mind while we are away. We are grateful to have someone we can trust to care for Bella and would happily book with her again!

Walter was so courteous and showed up on time every day and I could tell me animals were taken care of. He even offered more support for the animals for an extended period when my travel was impacted by the snow. He came 2x a day for my dogs and played with them and even stayed extra time s few times, and was able to give them medications and feed them, along with my cats as well. He was also very communicative, and followed instructions. I can tell my animals are happy. I will be using Walter again!

Ericka was great: she won Percy over and maintained daily schedule and tasks and kept us regularly informed, going above and beyond when we forgot to replace the battery in the time-release feeder! First time with Rover and Ericka and it was such a relief to entrust our kitty to such good care, now that he's on twice a day thyroid pills. Thank you!

Ann Marie was an amazing sitter for our two kitties! My first time using a sitter but she made the process seamless and gave us peace of mind. She even took time to take photos and give them treats. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely rebook next time we leave for vacation.
