About: I grew up in a house with a dog and cats. Since I was young, I have helped out family, friends, and neighbors with pet care. I have done everything from drop ins for socializing cats to watching 4 big dogs (and some birds) for a week! For many years, I had several families who counted on me to watch their animals while they were on vacations. I don’t have any pets of my own, so I would be so happy to give your animals some love and care! I can offer transparent and frequent communication, as desired, about how your pet is doing (+ pics of course!) I currently work standard 9-5 on weekdays. I am happy to provide more attentive care evenings and weekends! Outside of work hours, I can commit to around the clock attention as needed :) My apartment is animal safe and provides plenty of space for cats and small/medium dogs. I have a courtyard area, but it is not fenced in. I also in a great area for walking and close to a park.

About: Hi, my name is Trista and I am a dog lover through and through! My love for animals began at a very young age. Growing up, my family welcomed both dogs and cats from local shelters. I was raised loving animals and that love continues today! As a pet lover, I understand how difficult it can be to find someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. My clients can rest assure that they will be provided with the utmost professionalism and heartfelt pet care for their four-legged loved ones. Furthermore, I believe that all pets are unique and deserving of my undivided attention on any walk or playdate. I am eager to provide any pet care service including walks, play, feeding, cleaning, application of medicine, etc!

About: Hello! My prices are low because I genuinely love taking care of dogs. It is a breeze. I have been a pet owner, and also sat for Rover for around 2 years. It is such a joy and honor to work for great families and great pets. Usually, I take dogs out at least two times a day and give them a lot of love at home. I hope that I can be your dream pet sitter! Feel free to reach out. Thank you so much! Have a good day. 😄 Currently, I am not working but searching for employment. Schedule may change but am still willing to take on clients regardless. I am currently living in an apartment on Southern Pkwy. We will be leashed and ready to go before leaving to avoid chaos living on a busy road. I currently am not working so I have a lot of time to devote to paying attention to your furry friend. We can spend time taking long walks and doing fun activities while at home. I live in a second floor apartment so there is a second door which is closed in the front of my building if my front door were to open for any reason. The back door leads to a porch with steps and a driveway and ally which is relatively calm and not busy, but I always keep my doors closed and locked.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and ages for several years. Most recently, I provided long term care for an elderly dog with high anxiety. She required extra patience and special care— two things that I would be able to provide your animal as well! I am available before or after work on weekdays for drop-in visits or walks. I am available full-time on weekends for the same two services. I offer updates to pet owners after every drop-in visit or walk. I prioritize safety and wellness with constant supervision and being mindful of my surroundings.

About: I grew up with pets and have cared for a variety of animals for friends and neighbors, including dogs with specialized dietary needs. I love getting outside for long walks and hikes, and I’m patient and attentive with every animal in my care. I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, especially over the summer. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and giving animals the attention they deserve When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to learn their routine, dietary needs, and any safety considerations before the visit. I’ll always ask for emergency contacts and vet information, and I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve been a pet sitter since high school and love every minute of it! I have a cat named Stitch who’s my best friend, and I enjoy spending time outdoors—so walking your pet is the perfect way for us to both get some fresh air and fun. I treat every pet like my own, giving them love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, usually only two classes a day, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I always double check that every gate is closed and that your friend is in no danger. I am very vigilant and always make sure everything is locked and secure before I leave

First time Rover user - and boy am I glad I booked with Becca. Becca was absolutely wonderful for Walker’s first Rover stay! From the start, her communication was excellent, which made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. Knowing Walker was in such good hands gave me total peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats the animals she watches like her own. The best part was getting pictures of Walker in the middle of my workday — it completely made my day and reassured me that he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time.I’m so grateful for the care she gave him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Becca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!

Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs while we were away. One dog is nervous around new people and pretty much anybody who isn’t us, and that in turn makes our other dog anxious as well. Jessica was gentle, resourceful, and creative in managing them and their drop-in visits. She also communicated well with us, so we felt our dogs were safe and in good hands. Thank you!

Jules is the best pet sitter I’ve had since I’ve been using Rover. She checked in on my old girly 3 times a week for me for 4 weeks while our schedules lined up. She was super attentive to Zoe and let me know anytime there was something that may have been wrong or slightly off. I always felt super comfortable knowing Jules was checking in on Zoe for me because I felt it was obvious she truly cared. I also appreciate that Jules was super patient with me with some of my last minute schedule changes I had. I’m gonna miss having her checking in on my girly.
