About: I would love to be able to spend my extra time taking care of animals. I have been taking care of many pets since I was younger, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, lizards, and chickens. I have dogsat many times before as well as taken them for walks. I'm a very energetic person so I would have no problem running around and playing with any pets. However, I also would not mind relaxing and giving attention to an older pet who just needs some care and company. I have my own car so transportation is not a problem, and I am also willing to transport pets if needed. Some of my other hobbies include several different art projects, photography, hiking, yoga and dancing. I am working on creating my own freelancing schedule of pet care, yoga classes and home caregiving, so I am available whenever possibly during the week or weekends. I do not currently offer pet sitting at my personal home but am open to pet sitting at the client’s home. I believe it is important that the pet has a familiar environment and friendly face while their owners are away.
“Jordan did a great job watching our cat, Cleo. Her daily report card was thorough including pictures of Cleo getting some pets which surprises us because she's usually a shy cat. We would happily have Jordan pretty sit again.”

“Brittany was great! She took good care of our two cats the week we were away and sent daily updates when she popped in to feed them. She came to meet them and us before our trip which was really nice and I appreciate how clean the place was when we got home. Definitely recommend and will book again!”

About: I have personally had five family rescue dogs since the 1980s. The majority taken in from puppy stage up to 4 years of age. Most stayed with us through their senior years. I am retired from work and am available with a reliable vehicle equipped with pet crates for safe transportation or can travel to your home as necessary. I can care for your pet in my home on a 1-acre lot on a private road/area. Or, I can travel to your home as necessary.
About: I volunteer at my local animal shelter and I am great with both dogs and cats. I grew up with my cat, Hepsiba, born before me who died when I was nearly 20 years of age. We were best friends before I knew what that was. Then at the age of 12 or so, my parents adopted 2 English cocker spaniels, brother and sister. Robbie and Flora. So I was taking care of three pets. Then I raised Bruce, a rescued black lab mix from August 2013 until 2025 with some breaks for the US Army. And I taught him very well; he passed in June 2025 but he will always be my companion at my side. For some time I carried him, 120 lbs, up and down flights of stairs. Sometimes from here to there, carefully, comfortably, gingerly. I have a background in psychology, and I’m a dog trainer and a bit of a behaviorist. I’ve taken care of pets for family members and friends. And did so professionally in the past prior to Rover, after friends got me into it, which I started in August 2025. I’m great with animals. After spending even just a short time with them we can often establish a connection or rapport, especially when training a younger pet (or caring for an older dog). I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, I could run with your dog, play with them, but mostly we’ll be doing what they want - within reason. I will basically be spending the entire time with your pets. We’ll wake up between five to eight in the morning, and we’ll go bed between eight and eleven at night. I’ll be up with them as they need and we’ll be in and out much more than is required. I am delicate and meticulous and believe in leaving no trace that I was there. I want my client after their time away from home and their animals to not be met with the mess that I could be leaving behind. I am committed to performing an act of cleaning based on the tools available.
About: Hi! I am Lakshmi and I personally have 7yrs of experience with dogs of all kinds. Me and my husband both love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. We would love to take care of your pooch while you are away. We promise to provide brisk walks, fun playtime, and of course belly rubs and cuddling for your beloved dog. So that you can have a guilt free vacation of your own :) Our schedule is flexible and your dog will never be home alone for long. The couch and bed are never off-limits. We separate the dogs during feeding times and ** safety is out top priority**. So we make it a point to do a meet and greet for all the first time clients. We have a six-year-old Labrador retriever boy named "Bruno" whom we adore! He is neutered and is very friendly. We fully understand all the hard work, effort, and commitment which goes into raising our fur babies. I totally understand how much difficult it can be to be away from your pet. We will do our best to make your vacation stress free by giving regular updates on your pooch is doing. We both have our own full time jobs and I work from home. So, rest assured that your dog is never unattended for more than 2 hours except when we are at the gym or have some errands to run. We have a friendly dog of our own at home to keep your dog company 24/7. There is no fenced yard but we live in a beautiful community and we do long walks and park visits(when the weather permits).
About: I’m not just a dog sitter—I’m a partner in your dog’s happiness. With the experience of training and graduating three service dogs, I bring patience, compassion, and structure to every pup I care for. Your dog isn’t just another appointment on my calendar—they’re family, and I treat them that way. From walks to training to daily love, I help dogs feel safe, confident, and understood. Caring for dogs isn’t my side gig—it’s my full-time commitment. As a business owner, I have the freedom and flexibility to dedicate my days to providing top-quality care for dogs. That means your dog isn’t squeezed into a busy schedule—they get my full attention, patience, and time. This isn’t just a job, it’s my life’s passion, and it shows in the way I care for every pup as if they were my own.” Full-Time Care, Full-Time Love—Because Dogs Deserve More Than a Side Gig.” Every dog in my care gets more than the basics—they get a home. At my single-family house, dogs enjoy a safe, spacious fenced-in yard where they can run, play, and explore freely. Inside, they’re treated like part of the family, with comfort, structure, and plenty of attention. From walks and playtime to training reinforcement and quiet downtime, I tailor the experience to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves fetch, belly rubs, or simply lounging in the sun, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for—just like they would at home.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and get plenty of attention while in my care. I am currently enrolled in an automotive program! I am looking for a job where I can temporarily make my own schedule. I am available most days after 3:30pm, depending on location. I have availability everyday except sundays. My home is very safe for animals. I live in a douplex with other family members. I have my own floor separated from all of the animals. I live in a neighborhood where I can walk them, and I am very close to a nice walking trail as well! I do live on the third floor so animals with bad hips may not be a good fit!
About: I am a veterinary assistant (with some technician training) who specializes in radiology at an emergency animal hospital. I have animal care experience for the last 5 years PLUS pet sitting for the last 4.5 years! I am fun, young, caring, and loving; no animal is out of my consideration or ability. I have experience administering medications to dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs :) I also can do injectables. Senior care is no issue here! I always grew up with animals all around me and had a special bond with them, leading to me knowing I was destined to end up working with them in as many ways as possible. I would love to make your life a little easier, and have you feel good about the care they’re in! I work full-time currently in Boston, working towards becoming a CVT! I have the time in my schedule most days (post/prior to work) or on my weekends to assist with any needs that may have to be met for pet care! I am alright with whatever makes clients (you!) feel most comfortable! I can do routine check-ins, or I could stay in house and overnight with your pet. Everyone has a preference and I am very “go-with-the-flow”. I think it is very important to try to keep the animals as comfortable as possible and safe and happy in their home throughout the service <3. I will not be offering pet boarding services in my home due to living in a second floor studio apartment, so staying in client's homes is my usual service.

About: Due to my current employment situation, I have lots of schedule flexibility to suit the needs of your animals. I have been caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes since I was young and have done it on a more regular basis over the past 8 years. I have grown up always having dogs and cats so I am extremely familiar with caring for animals. Even the most skeptical dogs quickly trust me for my loving nature. I am always prepared to pay full attention to any animals in my care and to respond to any challenging situations that may come up. I truly love animals and am very excited at the opportunity to help others with the care and support of their furry friends! Your pet’s day will look exactly like it does when you’re with them! I pride myself on helping dogs to keep their routines. I am happy to offer whatever enrichment activities we discuss for your pet such as car rides, dog parks, play dates etc but also understand these are not for every dog so will never do anything we didn’t explicitly clear. I am very adamant about understanding the ways you keep your pet safe at home. I am extremely cautious when coming and going. I keep an eye on all pets in yards, even when they don’t typically require this. In 15 years of dogsitting, I have only had one dog slip away from me and handled it quickly and safely.
About: Since I was young, I’ve had a passion for taking care of pets and animals. In my own home, we had 3 cats and 2 dogs, including a Black Labrador and a French Bulldog/Pitbull mix. I’ve also looked after my friends’ and neighbors’ pets, including a senior dog who needed medicine administered and special care. This also includes cats, dogs, birds, and bearded dragons. I truly adore all animals (except mosquitos! lol) and consider it a privilege to care for them. I value honesty, reliability, and quality treatment for both people and animals alike. This is why five star service is guaranteed when you book with me 😊 I currently work in an office Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm. I usually keep my nights and weekends free for any bookings. I will care for your pet inside your home by of course being respectful of your space, making sure any unsafe foods or items are out of reach, all gates or fences are closed to ensure they don’t escape, their food/medicine is on time and prepared *EXACTLY* as instructed. I can also promise snuggles, play time, and plenty of attention!
About: Hi, I’m McKenzie! I’ve been around pets for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. As a proud dog mom to my 3-year-old French Bulldog, Prada, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Prada is very friendly, loves to play, and honestly, she’s my daughter in dog form! I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am already a dedicated dog mom to my 3-year-old French Bulldog, Prada. My day revolves around making sure she is happy, healthy, and well cared for through regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. Since caring for pets is already a part of my everyday life, welcoming and caring for other dogs comes naturally to me. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Prada is very friendly, loves to play, and enjoys the company of other dogs, making our home a fun and welcoming place for your furry friend. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I live in a spacious apartment in Randolph, which gives dogs plenty of room to move around and feel at home. For exercise and potty breaks, we regularly go on walks around the block. We also have access to a large open field where dogs can run around, play, and get their energy out. On most days, we take Prada to the dog park for additional socialization and exercise. Inside the home, dogs are treated like family. Prada is free to roam around the apartment, and visiting pets are welcome to do the same unless owners request otherwise. Prada even has her own bed, and I make sure every pet has a comfortable space to rest, relax, and feel secure. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I will maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and happy.
“Erika was great. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring. She provided regular updates with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a tidy space. I highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From daily routines to lots of love and attention, I understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. I have a flexible schedule and am available all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. On all other days, I am available after 3:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended care while meeting all of your pets routine needs :) I have a pet-friendly home with a yard for outdoor breaks (no fence, so all outdoor time is fully supervised). I currently have two sweet female Labs and two cats who are friendly and used to being around other pets.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Marion choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
