About: Hi, I'm Sofia. One of my goals in life is to give my dog (ESA) the best life. That means providing enrichment through sniff-walks, exploring new parks, and introducing him to furry pals. We go almost everywhere together, wherever he is allowed - camping, hiking, run clubs. I've used Rover in the past to find dog sitters for my dog, and they have all provided top-notch service. Now, I find myself in a new apartment that is dog friendly and want to host other small, well-mannered, dog and apt-friendly dogs. My dog has some leash reactivity, we are working on it (he was a rescue), but he is super chill once they have been properly introduced in a neutral place. He loves cuddling with his pals, he has predominantly stayed with sitters that have other dogs and it has gone really well. Rest assure, when your furry friend stays with us, we will take him in as one of our furry pals. We do not have a yard, just a small front porch, where my dog loves sunbathing. We have a private entrance. As such, we go on at least 3 walks a day for potty breaks. A good fit would be furry friend that: 1. Gets along with my dog 2. Is potty trained 3. Is up-to-date with vaccinations (e.g. rabies) 4. Is not destructive of property 5. Can stay alone (with my dog) for several hours 6. Is on flea and tick preventative I work from home on Fridays, and can take care of your dog starting at 4pm. Just be sure to pack their favorite stuff and food for drop off at my place. Pick up and drop off time can be flexible I prefer to take care of my furry clients at home. Where i can also have my dog be a friendly companion to your furry friend and we know the neighborhood and the best spots to go on walks.

“Cassandra is fantastic and our boys love her!”

About: I have experience caring for furry dog friends. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, giving medication, and providing attention and playtime. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Hi, my name is G'la! I'm excited to meet new pets and provide them with loving, reliable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping a furry friend company, I truly enjoy making pets a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication, and plenty of companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, enrichment, and supervision. I keep to their feeding and exercise schedule and give them lots of affection and attention to help them feel at ease while they're away from home.

About: Hello! I’m Alicia and I am starting out as a Rover sitter! Lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I treat every dog like family—yours will be in great hands! I work part-time from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and love. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and welcoming environment where they’ll feel right at home. I have two friendly dogs of my own and also care for my housemate’s dog and cat, so I’m experienced in managing multiple pets with different needs and personalities. You can trust that your pup will be treated with love, respect, and constant supervision while in my care.

“Elyse took care of my two kittens for just under two weeks and did an amazing job. She was super reliable and communicative. The kittens seemed healthy, happy and relaxed when I got home, so it was obvious they were in good hands. Would definitely request for her help again in the future.”

About: I grew up with few family dogs and cared for the dogs of my neighbors and friends as an adult. My presence draws animals of all ages and backgrounds to me and I love seeing the world from the perspective of a dog. During the pandemic I trained my neighbor dog and she still counts on me for discipline and affection. You and your dog can rely on me to provide care that ensures their well being and safety. I am a part time student at a local buddhist seminary learning to be a spiritual care provider. So I am available Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. On Tuesdays I am available from 12-6. On the weekends, if you want to take a trip, then I can house sit or pop in for walk or visit. I make it a priority to meet owners with their pets to establish rapport with the human and 4 legged being. I want to understand what motivates the dog and what the dog is sensitive to. I care for dogs by giving them walks, play, touch, positive regard and correction. I am patient and firm. I meet dogs where they are at emotionally, spiritually, and physically for them to do what I am asking. If I can't meet the pet owner, then leaving something like a "sub plan" for me to orient myself to your home, pet, and leash would be great. I skilled at making good first impressions, learning my way throughout a home, and messaging priority questions.

About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things pup, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your dog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then it’s breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rocky’s. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge 😎. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.

“Lauren is awesome! She was available to meet last minute as I had some weekend plans that I needed doggy care for. She’s very kind and detailed and I van tell Noodles feels really comfortable around her gentle nature!”

About: Free Meet & Greets! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From growing up with dogs and cats to caring for senior pets and high energy puppies. I’m the kind of person who talks to animals like they’re family, and I treat each pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. What sets me apart? I pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs and energy. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn energy, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your senior dog needs slow, gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable administering medications, sticking to specific feeding or care routines, and keeping communication open with you so you feel at ease while you're away. I want every pup (and parent!) to feel safe, happy, and cared for. To keep things smooth and stress-free, here are a few simple guidelines: ⏰ Daycare Hours Daycare includes up to 9 hours of care (a full workday). Please confirm your drop-off and pickup times when booking. If care is needed beyond 9 hours, there is an $8/hour late pickup fee. For pickups after 9 PM, please book an overnight stay instead so your pup can stay comfortable. 🤝 Meet & Greets For all new pups, I require a quick meet & greet to make sure everyone is comfortable and a good fit. 💉 Health & Safety Dogs must be up to date on vaccines and on flea/tick prevention for everyone’s wellbeing. 🎒 What to Bring Please pack your pup’s leash, harness, food, and any meds they’ll need during the day. Familiar items help them feel right at home. 🔄 Cancellations I follow Rover’s standard cancellation policy, but I always appreciate as much notice as possible if plans change. 🐕 Behavior For safety, I cannot host dogs who show aggressive behavior toward people or other pets. I’m currently fully available and have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got the time and energy to be there when you need me. Your pet will get consistent care and attention, every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable. I keep spaces clean, remove any hazards, and never leave pets unsupervised in situations that could be unsafe (like off-leash unless fenced). In your home, I respect your space just as much as I respect your pet—I treat it with care and leave things just as I found them (or cleaner!). I know it takes trust to let someone care for your furry family, and I take that seriously. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care are what I bring every time.

About: Understanding a pet, by thinking a few steps ahead and whispering back. Planning thoughtful interactions can be much more intriguing to your pet! The overall mental well-being can be difficult for a pet left alone or Un walked. I can walk you pet and visit it your pet. Something simple and attentive so when you return they have the utmost excitement. Energy to smile back you but being happy. Something a simple walk during the day can help with. To be fed and the mind interactive with what is on the other side of the window during each long day. I have a day off per week and plan to walk one dog or visit one pet. On my time, so that we share that special moment of leisure together. By making everyone’s life a bit happier and I am at your service. I am very serious about others property and when dog walk am aware of indecent objects on the ground. Things that pets enjoy consuming but your pets walk or visit will be performed professionally.
