About: Hi there! **I’m happy to house sit in any city** I’m experienced in pet sitting and house sitting. I love animals and would delight in caring for your furry family and home. I have a worldpackers profile (work/lodge exchange app) with almost 15 5-star reviews as well as another pet/house sitters account with a current 5 star rating. I don't mind traveling further distances. Thank you for your consideration. :) I am a remote college student who enjoys spending most of my time in solitude and/or with furry companions. I also enjoy reading, writing, nature, music, and more! I am happy to do drop ins, walking services, in house sits and more. I currently am not able to host them in my home.
About: What sets me apart is the deep-rooted experience and love I have for animals. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, from walking neighborhood pups to helping with family pets. I’ve also fostered dogs, which taught me how to care for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs—from playful puppies to more reserved or nervous dogs. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or extra patience and comfort, I provide care that’s attentive, loving, and tailored to them. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way. I'm currently working a full time internship, 9-5 pm during the weekdays. I'm available after 5pm for evening care/walks, and have more availability on the weekends! In my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. I stick closely to their normal routines—mealtimes, walk schedules, playtime, and any special care instructions—so they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it's keeping things tidy, giving lots of affection, or making sure they get plenty of exercise, I’m all about giving personalized care that matches each pet’s needs. Communication is important to me too, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos!
“Michaela took great care of my babies while I was away for the weekend! I had to tell her the day she was arriving that one of my dogs needed meds as a result of an appt that morning and she happily administered her meds! She sent photos and updates and I never worried about their care while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Michaela for future services.”
“Cher watched our 2 labs and cat for us while we were away and was absolutely fantastic to have in our home. She was an unbelievable communicator…sending photos and text updates. The house was clean/well kept and the pups/cat were happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful to her and I’m looking forward to having her help us again soon!! Highly recommend!!”
“Kelly was fantastic with my dogs, Bailey and Benji! I honestly think my dogs wouldn’t have cared if I came home. Would definitely book with her again:)”
“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”
About: I have 4 years of animal shelter experience so I'm professionally trained in animal behavior and training. And I won rookie of the year with the county for being the best of the bunch and being so reliable and friendly and genuine! I have a 9-5 regular job and I'm free on the weekends and after work! And I truly miss working with animals and working on their behavior and basic training. I follow instructions really well and if your pet has a routine and a training system I will follow it to the tea! And I have 4 years of professional animal shelter experience
“Danielle did a great job with my 1 year old Aussie and 4 month old puppy for 2 nights! She sent many check in pictures and kept me in the loop with very quick response times to any of my questions. I also returned to the house to it being as clean as I left it. She had laundry going, garbage taken out, and dishes done. I will definitely be using Danielle again and would highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Bella and I am new to rover! I have 3 years of experience pet sitting and would love to take care of your furry friends! I’ve always had a love for all animals and have cared for senior animals as well! Looking forward to hearing from you! I’m working part time and have flexible hours so I can be available anytime you need me! I like pet sitting because I get to meet new people and their fur babies. Since I work from home it’s a good opportunity to get out of the house too! I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for in my company. I will send updates as frequently as you would like and stay with them as long as you’d like!
About: I’ve taken care of furry friends since I was 14. I was raised around cats and dogs since I was a little girl and have grown to love caring for and getting to know all sorts of furry friends. I’ve been able to develop skills in befriending and caring for even the most skittish of pets. I do work full time, but my job has flexible hours in which I would be able to spend the afternoons and evenings with your pets. I have plenty of experience with all sorts of pets, from skittish, to the friendliest of furry friends. Within your home I would be able to quickly adapt to their routine and understand what their needs would be, whether it is playtime before bed, or if it’s a little snuggle on the couch.
“Marissa was excellent house sitting and taking care of Sophie for 5 days. We will definitely use her agan”
“Great communication. Took excellent care of our two goldendoodles! Highly recommended. Kevin”
“Alex was great with my 3 dogs. We had a last minute change with the care of our dogs and he came to the rescue. Sent pictures, videos and updates each time he was at the house. He would let us know if he was going to run a few minutes late or if he needed anything. Will contact him again if we go out if town.”
“Michelle was very responsible, attentive with great communication. Her calm demeanor rubbed off on the dogs and they completely relaxed around her. She easily followed our care instructions while spoiling our dogs with frequent walks and treating our home as she would her own. She has our highest recommendation!”
“Sandra is THE BEST! This was our first time using Rover and leaving the pups with someone who wasn’t my mom or sister. I was terrified. We met Sandra and the worries went completely away! The dogs instantly loved her. They miss her already. Sandra is the best and an incredible dog person. My larger dog is a rescue with quirks and Sandra was amazing at handling them. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. Sandra is officially our go-to dog sitter!”
About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.
About: I’ve provided in-home pet care for many neighbors and family friends over the years, caring for everything from energetic doodles to laid-back bulldogs and lovable mixed breeds. I treat every furry friend like family, giving them the same love, attention, and care I’d want for my own dogs. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or keeping to their routine, your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I’ve been a reliable sitter for many years and have countless repeat furry friends because our bonds stay strong. I work from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. When pet sitting in your home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for your pet. I follow your routines and house rules closely to ensure consistency and reduce stress. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully monitor their behavior, provide lots of love and attention, and keep their space clean and secure while you’re away.

“Ky took care of my dog Gracie, an 80 pound lab, and housesat for me over 10 days. He is a thoughtful and caring dog sitter. He asked all the right questions, such as how long it was okay to leave Gracie alone, and provided updates over text on a regular basis which I specified. When I got home, Gracie was happy and well taken care of. I would most definitely ask Ky to take care of her again.”
Kacie M.
“I can't say enough good things about Kacie as a pet caregiver. She watched my golden retriever, Charlie, while I was out of town, and I was beyond impressed with the level of care and attention she gave him. From the moment they met, it was obvious she has a real love for animals. She was incredibly reliable and communicative throughout the entire stay. I received daily updates and photos that clearly showed how happy and comfortable Charlie was in her care. She stuck to his routine perfectly--morning walks, playtime, mealtimes you name it. When I came home, Charlie was relaxed, happy, and clearly had been very well loved while I was away. It's such a relief to know I can travel without worrying, because I know he's in great hands with Kacie. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and responsible pet sitter!”

Not only was Daelia extremely reliable, she maintained great communication with every visit, and went above and beyond to show our sweet pup love and attention. She frequently spent extra time playing with our pup, especially on days with bad weather when she couldn't be outside for very long. We were heartbroken when Daelia said she was moving and she is without a doubt someone we would recommend to watch your furry loved one.”
