About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12. Always growing up with 3+ large dogs in my home. I also have helped my sister in the past fostering dogs and finding strays. I currently do not have a full time job and am available pretty much 24/7. I am very flexable and can work around your schedule! I do not care for pets in my personal home but when I am a client's home I am sure to keep a daily routine with the pets and keep them up to there usual activity level.
âMichelle is wonderful! Initially I hired her to stay in my house a few days with my 16.5 yr old dog, but unfortunately he passed away before the trip. Michelle helped change our agreement, and she looked in on our cat and house instead. Great communication and I knew my cat and house was in great hands!â

âThank you being amazing and helping me understand how Rover works. This process was truly seamless. You were great with Boost and he also got to introduce you to his new friends that live next door đ.â

About: My husband & I recently moved to Manhattan! We were dog sitting when we lived in the city & hope to continue here in the suburbs! We are total dog lover and can't wait to spend some time with your furry friend! I currently work full time as a school social worker. Iâm typically away from home until 4pm. I'm confident that I will be able to work around your scheduling needs. I can accommodate to the needs of your dog and home based on your preference! Whatever routine your pup has, I will stick to it!
âDiana was very responsive and easy to work with using the Rover app. She sent photos, and a report every day. My cat even let Diana brush her , which is unusual, so I knew my cat was comfortable with Diana. I will definitely book Diana again for my next trip.â
About: Iâve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I started working at a veterinarian clinic when I was in high school and eventually became a veterinary technician. My time working has allowed me to gain multiple skills from caring for senior animals to administering many different forms of medication. Whatever care your pet needs, Iâll be able to handle it! I am currently a student, so I am mainly free on the weekends. Depending on your location, week nights can possibly work for me as well! When I am with your pet, they will have my undivided attention. Whether they are a youngster who needs a lot of play time, or an older pet who just needs some extra cuddles. I have worked with a wide variety of sizes and types of animals so I can handle just about anything!
About: I have owned and trained myself my border collie, Corduroy for eight years! I am pre-vet in college and am currently working on obtaining my nationally recognized certification in dog training! I work part-time at a restaurant as a server/hostess. I also attend college classes every other day. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to do overnight stays for extra time for pets! I will listen to any instructions and rules provided by any and all pet parents I work for! In your home I will be respectful of not just your pets but your home as well!
About: I have owned my own cats for 15 years now. They are constantly cuddled and pampered. My husband and I adopted our two dogs 10 years ago. They go on car rides with us, and long walks. They love chew toys, and bones. When I lived at home I took care of all of our senior pets. I was raised in a household where pets are family. I would take care of your animals like they were one of my own. I am a teacher full time, but I am available full time during the summers. I am around in the evenings during the school year. I can walk your dogs, let them out in a fenced yard, play with them, and give lots of cuddles. I also love cats and can scoop litter boxes, play with them, and give them cuddles.
âAlyssa was very professional. My shy cat who comes out for no one, came to her when she was there on the first day. She always responded to me very quickly and was always very courteous. Would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.â
â5 Star piece of mind every time I count on Kyle to care for my senior dog. Love the check-ins and it's nice knowing I'll come home to a happy dog! Kyle is the best, hands down.â

âI am so happy I found Delaney on Rover! Delaney took wonderful care of my puppy while I was gone. I look forward to continuing to have Delaney care for him. Delaney is great with dogs and is very caring and responsive. Thank you Delaney!â

About: I am the go to pet sitter for all my friends and family, whether itâs vacation or work. Your pet will not be bored with me . I provide the best physical and mental stimulation for your fur babies! I have a very open and flexible schedule and am willing to work around your routine and schedule. Rain snow or shine! Iâll be there! I can completely adhere to your rules and provide them the utmost comfort, safety and love. Safety is my number one priority in any situation!
About: I've owned a cat for 10 years now and in those years I taught her how to sit and high five. I also grew up with animals in my household since I was born. I've sitted my grandpas dog for a week at his house while he was away and took care of my moms dog for a weekend. I also volunteered at a few shelters, the most recent one being NAWS. I just got a new job so my schedule for January is currently unknown. They still need to get back on me for the date that ill start but itll be 5 days a week for 8 hours a day when it does. While I'm at the client's home I would treat their pets as if they were my own. In my household I always make sure to spend as my time with my cat as I can. With my cat I fill up her bowl and when it gets low I usually fill it once more, this is because she doesn't eat much in a day and never finishes. If the client has a certain feeding schedule I would make sure to feed the animal at the times the client requires. With a dog I would take them on walks atleast twice a day, if the client doesn't have a yard or has a certain walk schedule for their animal I would take them on as many walks as needed. With cats depending on how long the client is gone I will make sure the litter is cleaned once a day and replace it every week.
About: Hello! My names Brittany! I am a mother to an 18 month old boy with a 3 year old Anatolian Shepard and two cats! I work from home 3 days a week and would love to help out in the area where I can! If there are any questions or comments, please let me know and I will gladly get back to you in a timely manner! Hope to hear from you soon! Itâs part of my daily routine with a dog and two cats! Cats get for every morning and then they all eat at 3pm for dinner. No comment. No in home care will be part of my services. Sorry about that & thank you for understanding as itâs hard on my cats.
About: Although I have one year of paid experience, during that time Iâve consistently cared for four familiesâ petsâincluding seven dogs, two cats, two bearded dragons, and a hamsterâand continue to do so. I also have five animals of my ownâthree dogs (boxers) and two cats (hypoallergenic Siberians). I have experience caring for pets of all agesâfrom playful puppies to senior companionsâand of all sizes, from mini poodle mixes to boxers and pit bulls. Iâm comfortable with both rescue and bred pets, and have hands-on experience managing a wide range of health conditions, including: ⢠Feline heart and liver failure ⢠Canine kidney failure ⢠Intervertebral disc disease ⢠Spinal arthritis ⢠Degenerative myelopathy ⢠Cancer ⢠Pancreatitis (canine and feline) ⢠Paralysis ⢠Open, healing wounds ⢠Unhealthy/sick puppies ⢠Allergies ⢠Weight management ⢠Special/dieted food (personalized, KD, ID, etc.) Being around animals has become second nature to me. I donât see pets as propertyâtheyâre family. A house doesnât truly feel like a home until youâve got permanently dented couch cushions and the daily struggle of brushing fur off your clothes while trying (and failing) to keep more from sticking. PLEASE NOTE: Rates on my profile may not always reflect the most up-to-date pricing, as they can occasionally update automatically (the app itself changes them randomly). Feel free to ask about rates, services, and what each entailsâI will happily provide the document information! If you feel Iâd be a good fit for your little (or large) zoo, I kindly ask that you be prepared to complete a couple of quick forms: ⢠A Pet Intake Form, which helps me get to know your pet(s) and provide the best, most personalized care possible. ⢠An Emergency Authorization Form, which allows me to seek veterinary care if needed, since Iâm not their legal owner. These help ensure your pet(s) stays happy, safe, and well cared for while youâre away! I am currently working part-timeâlate afternoons to early eveningsâso, I will have plenty of time to ensure your fur baby(ies) get the utmost attention and care they need to feel the best they can! When caring for pets in my home or a clientâs home, my approach is always centered around making your pet(s) feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In your home, I stick closely to your routinesâfeeding schedules, walks, playtime, sleep arrangementsâso your pet(s) experiences as little disruption as possible. I also keep your space clean and secure, and Iâm happy to send updates or photos so you have peace of mind while youâre away.

âTaylor was so awesome and Phoenix (who is an extremely shy cat with strangers usually) warmed instantly!! Sent me photo updates and even offered to turn on my AC for me on a day that particularly warm. Will definitely contact in the future as well.â
