About: My Husband and I welcomed my dog 7 years back in the family when we had no plan to have a pet but we just had to bring her home. I have trained her all by myself and received many compliments on how well-behaved my pet is. I have taken care of my friend's fur friends multiple times. Zusa gets along with pretty much everyone with a condition of them remembering who the queen is in the house lol there’s 40% chance of her playing with your pet but she’ll mostly mind her own business which noting everyone who stopped by- by the bay window that’s 10ft long. Your fur baby will be allowed there too after 24hrs of stay😊 we enjoy pets more than humans😜 which is why your pets likely to be cuddled here not just for the show. They’ll be treated as a cousin of Zusa visiting and nothing less than that. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to entertain your fur friend! I'm available on weekdays anytime after 10 am and accommodate them over weekends with some heads up. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, and a Shitzu to give your pet company. I do have pretty much everything but a crate, so if you believe your pet will be more comfortable with that, then please bring it with you.

“Annie & Dustin have been walking our dog for us for about a month now. They are AWESOME! They are very nice, helpful, responsive, etc, etc., etc.! Thanks you two!!”

“A God send to Oscar and I. Thank you.”

About: Hello! I’m an experienced pet sitter with several years working in a kennel environment and as a groomer. I also enjoy fostering/training dogs for local shelters! I have experience with behaviorally complex dogs as well as working and giant breeds. In addition to professional experience caring for dogs, I also have three personal dogs that I train, show, and trial with in sports! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m generally not out of the house for more than an hour or two each day. I want your dogs to feel at home here! My three bedroom home has a fully fenced yard and is set up to be safe and comfortable for pets. Dogs who prefer to be the only pet are welcome to solo access to the back yard and one on one time in the house with me! Safety is always my first priority, so all dogs are crated for meal times and when unsupervised/over night. Please note that we have one adult cat in the house! While she is very dog savvy, I’m happy to ensure she is in a separate space if needed.

About: I had a German Shepherd Husky of my own for 12.5 years where I cared for him day in & day out, walked him, took him on trips with me & spent our days playing together. I am now the go to for all of my friends' & families' pet sitting needs. I love on every animal I encounter. I just recently adopted a German shepherd - his name is Hank, he was born on 5/3/26. He is incredibly curious, loving, happy, smart & wants to be friends with everyone! I work 7-4 M-F but am available evenings & weekends. I have open availability to spend time with your furry loved ones! I am also available on short notice as I understand life can get hectic sometimes. I have a fenced in yard for your pets to run around in. I am familiar with most training styles so I can adjust to your preferred method. I do not have any other animals, children or people living with me so my full attention can be on your fur baby!

“Katie was super friendly and great with the pups, and was so patient even when my puppy gave her a hard time. She sends photos while she’s there and is great with communicating with you. She rocks!”

Lexi W.

“Jessica is amazing! She has excellent communication and asked questions prior to Maya's first walk about which routes she likes and any routines that she has. She arrived on time and was very sweet with Maya as soon as they met for the walk. She gave her lots of love and Maya got a great walk in. Our sweet girl came home with her tail wagging and is asleep now. I had surgery last week, so as I heal, this made life easier for us and for our dog, while it's still so important to us that she feels good and gets exercise. ❤️. We will definitely use Jessica again and highly recommend her for any service that she offers! Thanks so much, Jessica!”

About: Hi! I'm Rachel, a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet just needs someone dependable while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My passion for animals extends beyond pet sitting. I'm the founder of a nonprofit dedicated to helping animal shelters save more lives through technology, partnerships, and adoption support. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely care about every day. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while giving your pet a fun, safe, and loving experience. Experience giving medication, comfortable with senior pets and puppies, experience with anxious or shy animals. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I'm currently working remotely part time, so my schedule is flexible! I'm happy to work with you on scheduling and I will give 2 weeks' notice when I plan to go out of town. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll take the time to learn your pet's schedule, feeding routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. Whether that's a long walk, a game of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I'll provide the care that's best for them. I know how important communication is, so I'll send regular updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing. If I notice anything unusual, I'll contact you right away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and complete peace of mind.

About: What truly sets me apart is that animal care isn’t something I learned — it’s something I was raised in. Growing up in a home that served as a proxy animal shelter, I was immersed in the care of a wide variety of animals from birth, including fosters, rescues, and pets with both physical disabilities and special needs. That real-world, hands-on experience goes far beyond what most sitters can offer. Some key skills and experiences that set me apart: Special Needs & Disabled Animal Care: — I have extensive experience caring for animals with physical disabilities and health challenges, ensuring they receive patient, tailored attention and any necessary accommodations. Rescue & Foster Animal Handling: — Having grown up surrounded by rescue and foster animals, I understand the unique behavioral and emotional needs of animals that may have experienced trauma or instability. Multi-Pet Household Management: — Living with 5 cats, I’m highly skilled at managing the dynamics of a multi-pet environment, including feeding, space management, and monitoring individual health and behavior. Behavioral Awareness: — Years of experience with diverse animals has sharpened my ability to read body language and recognize early signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. Senior & Vulnerable Animal Care: — My shelter upbringing included caring for older and medically fragile animals, giving me the compassion and knowledge to handle their specific needs with gentleness and expertise. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just hiring a sitter. you’re entrusting them to someone who has lived and breathed animal care their entire life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is deeply woven into my daily life and personal history. I was born into an animal rescue family, raised in a home that functioned as a proxy shelter — caring for fosters, rescues, and animals of all abilities, both healthy and disabled. That upbringing gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and needs from a very young age. Today, I share my home with 5 cats, so feeding, playing, cleaning, and monitoring health and behavior is simply part of my everyday rhythm. Animals have always been my normal, and giving them attentive, compassionate care comes as naturally to me as breathing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Having grown up in a household that operated as a proxy animal shelter, caring for pets in a home environment is second nature to me. I currently live with 5 cats, so maintaining a clean, safe, and enriching home space for animals is something I practice every single day. I’m well versed in managing feeding schedules, litter maintenance, behavioral monitoring, and providing both physical and emotional stimulation through play and companionship. When it comes to caring for pets in a client’s home, I believe in respecting the animal’s established routine as closely as possible. Animals feel most secure in familiar environments with consistent schedules, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions precisely — from feeding times and portion sizes to preferred play styles and any special medical or dietary needs. My background with rescue animals also means I’m comfortable and experienced with pets that may have disabilities, anxiety, or special requirements. Whether it’s administering medication, providing extra patience for a nervous animal, or adapting care for a physically disabled pet, I approach every situation with calm, attentive, and compassionate care. Every pet deserves to feel safe and loved, whether I’m in my home or theirs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: I’ve always grown up with multiple dogs at a time. My parents currently love a 5 year old German shepherd, an 8 year old English shepherd, and an 8 year old Staffordshire terrier. I myself now love a 2 year old Irish setter doodle that I have well trained with my boyfriend, and a 3 year old orange tabby kitten! I work in the medical sales industry, so no two days are the same. I usually don’t have a full day however, so if I’m scheduled with your pet, they have my full attention! I currently love a 2 year old male Irish doodle puppy and a 3 year old female orange tabby kitten. They are very friendly with each other and everyone who visits. We think it's important to have rules and structure so they are both trained and well behaved but thoroughly loved and cared for. l am comfortable with putting dogs in crates, letting them out, feeding, and administering medication if necessary; really whatever attending to their normal schedule.

“First time using Rover. I was nervous but working with Lavina was awesome with my 1 year old energetic puppy!!! I’ll definitely be back. Thank you!!!”

“Dante was responsive and dealt with our non-standard situation (MIL was dog sitting, but she's pushing 80 and can't walk a tiny dog, much less our rescue maybe 2 year old, kind of unruly, giant 90+ pound Poofoundland) well. He went over the 30 minute walk time every time, he was friendly and responsive with both me and MIL.”

Lenora S.

“Ashley has been great to work with. On time, flexible and the dogs love her.”

About: I have had dogs since I was born. I have experience dealing with training puppies as well as dealing with senior dogs. I will follow your instructions for care to the T because I know how important it is for dogs to have stable training and schedules. I will take your dog to the park, out on a walk, on a run, or with me around town. In my mind dogs are part of the family and I will treat them as one of my own for as long as I have the privilege to take care of them. I have two rescues, both fixed that get along great with other dogs. I foster for several rescues so i know how to deal with different temperaments of dogs. Your dog will receive the same care as mine and all the same walks/runs/play time. I work from home so I am able to take your dog outside, for walks, and ensure they are getting the exercise they need to thrive. I have a fenced in yard, gated front porch, and a gate on the stairs. The dogs will have full access to the basement (dog proofed) and first floor. Access to the top floor will be for bedtime (if the routine is the dog sleeps in the bed). We also have a playpen and crates here at the house.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I've had love and fascination for all kinds of animals - including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, snakes, crickets, even fishflies! I understood from a young age that each living creature has a place and a purpose on this planet, and that it's our job as humans to respect them. My home and life have been full of canine love since 2021. My first furry soulmate is Pumpkin, a smushy-faced Shar Pei pitt who loves carrots, long walks, and couch patrol. Years later, at the beginning of 2026, Frankie, a German Shepherd -Lab, came into my life after being a stray for over a year. Her spunk, sweetness, and intelligence taught me very important lessons on acclimation, reactivity training, and understanding a dog's needs on a deeper level. Most recently, a puppy has joined the pack - Violet, in all her piggy glory! She has been Frankie's favorite playmate and Pumpkin's favorite snuggle buddy. I have been sitting on Rover since Fall 2025, and I am overwhelmingly grateful not only for the abundance of wonderful animals that I have had the pleasure of caring for, but also for their owners who have trusted them in my hands. With each booking, I devote my attention to ensuring that the pets are well fed and hydrated, they've received appropriate stimuli from either walks or playtime, and that they've received extra snuggles (if they want them!) I understand that it's also important to take care of the pets' owners as well, so I've prided myself in being an excellent communicator. In this past year, I have cared for all kinds of dogs - puppies, seniors, special needs, bonded pairs, high- and low- energy, you name it! I have also gleefully enjoyed the presence of several cats and even a few bunnies! Whatever the breed or species may be, I do not discriminate one bit :) In short, I have had quite a few years of experience with taking care of pets, and I have proven myself to be communicative and reliable. I have a big heart for all creatures, big & small, and I have more than enough love to go around! I work remotely and I live in a walkable area, so whether I am needed for a quick walk/drop-in while the pet owner is out of the house or at work, I have ample time throughout the day to take care of the pet. For any new pet, I understand that a bit of acclimation is necessary to gain the pet's trust. If the owner would like, I can meet the pet ahead of time to determine its temperance level and I'll respect any special needs that the pet has. I will cater my behavior and energy level towards the pet so that it doesn't become overwhelmed. I also have the strength and endurance to take pets for long walks and maintain good leash control. Lastly, I know a number of First Aid / CPR tactics for both dogs & cats alike, and I have the aptitude to learn anything else that is necessary for the pet's care.

“Sarah has been coming daily to walk my dog Molly while I recover from surgery. It has been great knowing Molly still gets her exercise and bathroom breaks while I recover. I am so thankful to have found Sarah . She really is fantastic!!”

About: i’ve owned and taken care of pets since a young kid, my friends and family have entrusted me to take good care of their fur babies and doggos, have had cats for 12 years and took care of a dog at my dads as a young teen! huge cat person, but an animal lover and enthusiast in general! all paws are welcome! I am currently unemployed and struggling to find a typical job so I am just doing Rover, and only deal with occasional doctors appointments and such as of right now, so I have plenty of time in my schedule to take care of your babies! I have two indoor cats that get nice wet food in the morning and at night, and dry food as needed throughout the day without overfeeding, I spend time with my babies daily and take great care of them. As for when I took care of the dogs, I would take my old dog annie on a walk every morning along with me, then play fetch with her or whatever she wants to do for a half hour or so when we arrive at the park mid walk. I’d then come home, feed her some water and wet food and do my thing while she hung with me in my room, I had my own basket of a couple bones and some DIY toys i made for her when she was alive and i was living there still, and then at night id take her on my run to get some exercise with me and feed her again for dinner when we get back. You can be rest assured I will provide passionate, serious and loving care for your pets 😊❤️

About: I’ve been on Wag for a while and loved it so I wanted to expand my business to Rover! I’m looking forward to becoming a regular caretaker for your furry friend. I’ve done drop-ins for friends, families and clients on vacations. I make sure they get some loving and pets during each drop-in. I also have been volunteering at cat and animal shelters since high school. I love dogs and I like to run with dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs that pull. A little about me. I’m a Master’s student studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I currently work with children with Autism. Other than that, I love being active and enjoying nature. I am patient and understanding of any specific request you would want! I adore animals so I assure the best quality of care possible! I currently work part-time so I’m always looking for walks on my off-time. I’m available for sittings/boardings everyday unless I’m on vacation! I have a clean studio. I have a balcony, large windows and a big windowsill for your cat to sunbathe in. I have space for all of your cats’ needs!
