About: Ever since I was a kid I have been taking care of pets. From fish, to hermit crabs, to birds, to hamsters, to cats, to dogs, I have a lot of experience when it comes to taking care of animals. I have about 2 years of dog sitting experience under my belt, and I make it a priority to leave a home nice and in order. I am willing to walk dogs, care for cats, and watch your house while you're away. I am available 7 days a week to care for your pets. I will be working as a full-time sitter for the summer so just check the calendar and reach out! As a sitter, I will ensure that your pet is well fed, well loved, and well taken care of. I am flexible to you and your pet's needs.

About: I was working in a Dog daycare for 5 years before I started my own business. In that time I also received my dog training certificate. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs in my time working with animals. Pet care is my full time job. All I need are the days you're looking for and I can add you onto my schedule. I also offer limited services on the weekends I travel to my clients for the services requested. Depending on the set up of the clients house determines how I go about looking after the animal. I always request that vet information be readily available just incase anything happens and I generally like to meet the animal first to make sure they are comfortable with me before I commit to working with them.

About: My aunt would bring her dog over when she would go on vacation and I'd take care of her. I would watch my grandma's dog for her on vacation. My partner has a dog thats now ours and I'm trusted with them. I just love animals. I'm off every single Tuesday so I'll be free from 8:00 until 3:00 pm and then 5:00-10:00 pm to come play with your babies. I'm usually off on Wednesday as well but sometimes it's a Monday, depends on my work schedule for the week. But I'll have it 3 weeks in advance to fit your babies into my routine to make sure they're well taken care of. I'll make sure your baby is fed, watered, walked and played with. I can crate them if needed. If they're good with other animals, I'd be more than willing to take them and my little one on a walk in a park together, I love taking mine to wildwood.

About: I've been taking care of dogs nearly my whole life. I grew up with a HUGE Rottweiler named Thor who weighed 120 lbs! I know, what a genetic freak of a puppy! When it comes to my personal experience taking care of pets it started roughly 8 years ago when I was trusted to watch my families' pets, neighbors, close friends, and people who just needed a sitter. As of 3 years ago, I finally became a cat dad. I now have 3 little rascals, all rescues, and love them to death. Always had a sweet spot for kitties for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately my mom and sister are allergic so took a while until I could have some cats in my life. My overall experience is in dog walking, pet-sitting, and of course playing with pets and staying the nights with them so they wouldn't feel lonely. If it is specifically cats, I always do the full shebang with feeding, playing ,and cleaning the litter upfront. I'm not just here to simply go through the motions, I know what some pet owners are looking for and things that they are worried about when needing a sitter. I do my best to keep clear communication, take TONS of photos and give plenty of updates so you can relax. The goal is to ensure your precious family members are kept safe and happy. I have a full-time career that spans from Wednesday-Saturday overnight. ALL of my services have 2 variants to availabilities. If you need me during my workdays, I am ONLY available from a time range of 5:30AM-10:30AM OR 2PM-4PM, this is on a case by case. On my days off which would be Sunday-Tuesday, I am available from 6AM-12PM & 6PM-4AM. Of course please message ahead if you need me during any other time on my days off and I can see what I can do. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets in my own home, I do however do House Sitting and Drop-In Visits. I understand a lot of what goes into what people are looking for when wanting their pets watched at home. I provide my own garbage bags, can offer cleaning services if necessary or wanted, and do my best to give updates on both your pets and your home if requested. When looking after your pets, I make sure to follow all procedures and rules listed. I wish to make sure your pet(s) feels comforted and calm so that they do not feel stressed, lonely, or unsafe. I ALWAYS know the greatest fear is making sure they are fed and have water so rest assured I will always make sure that is a priority along with playing with them and cleaning up after. I wish to make the process feel as calm and serene as possible for all parties included.

Shoot me a message and I can accommodate to your wants and needs. I have a fenced in yard, but I know dogs prefer to stay on their own home so I am open to accommodating whatever they need.

About: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like. I am currently working full-time (about 15 minutes away from home), but my boyfriend (also a Rover sitter) works from home and can do daily potty breaks if needed.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was in the 5th grade, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two of my own, a playful Frenchie puppy and a sweet 5-year-old Pit Bull/Bulldog mix, so I’m very familiar with different energy levels, temperaments, and stages of life. I’ve cared for everything from puppies who need structure and patience, to senior dogs who require a gentle touch and a slower pace. I’m calm, attentive, and treat every dog like family. You can count on me to follow routines, read behavior cues, and send updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. Pet care is part of my everyday life, it’s second nature to me. With three dogs of my own, my day naturally revolves around walks, feedings, playtime, training, and lots of love and attention. I’m already in the routine of caring for dogs with different needs and energy levels, so adding another pup into that rhythm feels seamless. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or overnight care, I plan my schedule to make sure each dog gets the time and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. In my home, pets have a cozy, dog-friendly space with plenty of room to relax, play, and feel at home. I slowly introduce them to my own dogs to make sure everyone gets along in a calm, supervised way. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their regular routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medication, or bedtime rituals. I make sure their space stays clean, calm, and familiar, and I always send updates and photos to keep you in the loop. I’m respectful of your home and treat every dog with the same love and attention I give my own.

About: I have spent a lot of time with animals of all kinds. I have worked at animal shelters with animals of all needs. Whatever kind of care your pet requires I can provide! I love caring for animals! I am an occupational therapy student that is working a part time job. I do a lot of driving all over so I really am okay with driving a bit to take care of some pets! I have two dogs of my own, that I take on leashed walks frequently, it helps me to get out of my schoolwork and walk with my pups. I have a park not far from my house that has a trail for walking dogs as well. I love to play with my puppies and spend time getting to know their personalities! I love to take care of them, but really they are taking care of me too!

Alexis P.
“Alexis took care of my furry baby as if it were her own. She played with her, snuggled with her and gave her anything she needed.
