About: Hello! I’ve been taking care of pups one way or another for about the last 12 years. I used to dog sit a lot back in high school, and now that I have more free time I’d love to get back into it. We have our own 2 dogs that we are very diligent with regarding food and walking schedule. Very patient, extremely loving and the best part we keep lots of toys around! I currently work full time, around 35 hours a week and 6-7 hours a day. I follow a strict daily routine with my own 2 dogs so ideally your dog would also be okay with being alone from approximately 8am-3:30pm Monday-Friday given my current work schedule. Saturday and Sunday will be dedicated to hanging with pups! I live in a townhome with no fenced yard. I understand this may be a deal breaker for some people but let me reassure you! My dogs are crate trained while no one is home and ideally yours would be as well. However this is not mandatory! Dogs are fed around 5-6am and briefly walked shortly after every morning before going to their crate. As soon as I get home, dogs go for a 20-30 minute walk. Our dogs eat dinner in halves. First half around 4/4:30 and the second half around 5/5:30. We have found this works best for our dogs to digest their food! Dogs are allowed on our couch and they are allowed to sleep wherever we are during the nighttime! Rest assured this actually benefits in monitoring bathroom habits and keeping a closer eye on your pup!
“Lila was a great find! I don’t leave my older dog very often, but sometimes he simply can’t join me on trips; and he often doesn’t eat much while I’m gone out of anxiety. Lila got him eating! He was so well taken care of and truly cares about the animals. Will definitely use her again!”
“Tara was so great sending pictures and really enjoying the time spent with my girls, they were mich less stressed with her coming to visit each day while I was away.”
“We are so appreciative that Curtis took care of our pups, Koa and Leo, during a family wedding. Curtis is super organzied - asks all the questions on things I forgot to share. I would never hesitate to have him be our Rover favorite dog caregiver. Thank you so much, Curtis!!”
“Cole is kind, conscientious and reliable. Prior to starting, he came over to meet us to make sure that he and my dog were compatible companions. His visits allow my dog to get outside for a bit during the day while I’m at work, which allows me to do my job without the stress or anxiety of worrying about my dog and constantly having to rush to leave/return as soon as possible. Grateful to have his help and appreciate that he is so awesome!”
“Hanna did an amazing job checking in on my dog and cat with my last minute check-in request. Followed my instructions to a T and left the house in great shape. They also went above and beyond, taking care of our foster dog esp. with some complicated health stuff/instructions. Great communication. Will rebook again in the future.”
“Anna has consistently looked after my cat Julius whenever I am away and does an amazing job every time! I highly recommend Anna for any of your pet needs, she always provided timely updates with lots of photos from her visits so I can see how Julius is doing while I’m away.”
“Chelsea is awesome! We have a GSP puppy who can be a bit needy and difficult and Chelsea was accommodating and reliable. I know our pup is in good hands with her and we will definitely continue to work with her in the future.”
“Rachael is amazing- she is prompt, courteous, communicative, knoweldgable and so sweet with our 11 week old Chocolate Lab. She has taken wonderful care of her, helped her adjust to her crate with lots of extra help that she went out of her way to do. We trust her in our home and would 100% recommend and will use her again. Thank you so much, Rachael :) - Charlie & The Gibbs”
“Alyson was so wonderful to work with and so attentive! She took such great care of my little dog while I was away. I will definitely be contacting her again in the future!”
“Dan is a great sitter. He was punctual, thorough and very informative while posting pics and texting updates while we were gone. We're going to book Dan again this summer. Thanks, Dan!”
“Riley was amazing. Very attentive and thorough. Lots of pictures. This is my First time using Rover and I will continue to be very happy with the service if everyone treats my sweet pup like Riley did.”
“THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING! The pictures. communication. everything! Hope you have a great week and we will definitely hit you up in the future if you are willing :)”
About: I’ve owned 3 dogs over my life time and my parents just now adopted a 4th one I will be taking care of part time. Two of the boys passed at the same ages of 13 and Pete is now 11 doing great. Reggie is 15 weeks old and is the best boy in the world. I am free every day right now as I’m off from school for the semester. I can wrap my schedule around your and your pups needs. Morning, noon, or night I can be there. When it comes to taking care of other people’s dogs, I treat them as if they are my own. I make sure they are taken care of in any way I need to or feel needs to be done.
About: I have over 10 years of personal experience caring for my own cat, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding animals’ individual personalities. In addition to feline care, I’ve also looked after guinea pigs during spring break, ensuring they had a clean habitat, fresh veggies, and plenty of gentle attention. I’ve cared for dogs belonging to family friends, helping with feeding, walks, and playtime, always making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I’ve also had the opportunity to watch over a variety of pets for a few hours at a time, adapting quickly to their needs and routines. No matter the species, I approach every pet with kindness, respect, and a genuine love for animals. I’m currently enrolled in online college courses, which gives me the flexibility to create a balanced and adaptable schedule. Since my classes are self-paced and remote, I’m available for pet care throughout the week—mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Typical Daily Routine: • Morning (8am–11am): Morning walks, feedings, litter box cleanings, or drop-in visits • Midday (11am–3pm): Pet sitting, extended playtime, companionship, or check-ins (can adjust as needed) • Afternoon/Evening (3pm–8pm): Walks, dinner feeding, medication (if needed), or overnight care setups • Night (8pm onward): Available for overnight care, evening check-ins, or late-night drop-ins (on request) Weekly Flexibility: I’m available 7 days a week and can adjust my schedule based on your pet’s needs—whether it’s a one-time drop-in, recurring walks, weekend sitting, or extended stays. My online classes allow me to stay local and dependable all summer long. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and safety always come first. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care that fits smoothly into both of our routines. Why You Can Trust Me with Your Pet As a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for my own cat, as well as looking after dogs, guinea pigs, and a variety of other pets, I understand how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your furry family member. Whether I’m welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in yours, I make safety, comfort, and reliability my top priorities. In Your Home: When I pet sit in your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I keep things tidy, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and ensure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Dog Walking: For dog walks, I always use secure leashes and harnesses and choose safe walking routes based on your dog’s size, energy level, and comfort. I take the time to build trust with each dog, making sure every walk is not just good exercise but also a positive experience. However, I own a cat who doesn’t like strangers or strange animal that come in her home With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I’m committed to giving your pet the same care and attention I’d give my own. You can trust that they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for—whether it’s for an afternoon walk or a week-long stay.

Colleen was excellent with my one year old cat Sunrise. She was very communicative, showed up at the agreed times, took very good care of him, and left the house very clean. My sweet kitty likes to throw cat litter and water from his dish all over! Highly recommend Colleen for taking care of your kitties! She was also very friendly and nice!
Candy was great for checking in on our cat while we were out of town. She kept him company and shared brief descriptions for how he was doing and photos each time which I really appreciated. The house was safely secured and all of Jabba’s food, water and litter were in good condition. Thank you!
Madeleine was awesome with our cat Cloud! His attitude can change day to day but she took it in stride and I think he even warmed up to her by the end. She clearly knows how to care for (and deal with) cats - this was shown even more when I got home to find that she had taken out the litter trash, cleaned all the food bowls, and refilled both the litter and his water fountain when I never asked her to do any of that! She was always communicative from the first meeting to the last check in with Cloud. Booking her was the best decision!
Curtis is amazing, he communicates well and as often as the situation may demand. H e figures out what to do without bothering , but keeps you informed as to what is going on. Curtis cleaned up our pups's vomit the other night, and told me where it occurred so I could give the floor extra attention. Our pup is currently under the care of our vet. Cutis performed some pre-approved grooming on Winnie. Curtis is always up-beat and pleased to help.
