“Holly is fantastic, and takes such great care with my pup. She is gentle, and takes the time to take lovely pictures for updates, showing how much she knows that I care about my dog. She is prompt in responding, and absolutely professional, she is very diligent in asking questions when you first week to make sure she takes care of your pets needs. I have used Rover for years now, and I have never found a better caregiver for my dog. I recommend Holly to everyone I know who needs these pet services!”


About: I absolutely adore animals. I have four children who are also huge animal lovers so if you board with us in home your pet will be absolutely doted on. Pet parents will be hard pressed to find a family that will take better care of your pet or give them as much love and attention. I love being outside and going on long walks and would love to accompany your dog on their daily walk. We have a tremendous amount of time to play with your pet, take them on walks, and give them the attention they not only require but also deserve. We have a decent sized fenced in yard which is perfect for lots of play time! We are very attentive to animals and have experience giving medication including shots.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was very young, I grew up my whole life with dogs and cats, of all ages (puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats), I absolutely love animals, and am flexible to adjust to your pets specific needs 😊 I am currently working as a Private Investigator part time, and am joining the Marine Corps, however, I know my schedule in advance and am pretty much 100% free whenever you need someone to look after your baby! I am very flexible and understand that pets can be spontaneous sometimes! I am able to adjust to whatever you and your pets needs are!
“Jessica is very sweet and took the time to let our dog warm up to her. She took great care of our pup and kept us updated on the walk from when she got there until the end. We would definitely use her again for the future!”

About: I love pets! I will make sure your pet is well taken of and loved while you are away from your home! I have taken care of a few different pets! I have a busy schedule, but I can make accommodations as needed :) I’m mainly available on Mondays and Thursdays and during the evenings anytime. I make sure your pet is fed and well loved. I will walk your pet 2-3 times a day. I also will spend lots of time with your pet, so that they don’t feel alone.
About: I have many years of experience, taking care of my own animals and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs and a passion for reptiles. I also have experienced fostering dogs from a local rescue with references upon request for animal care. I am currently looking for part-time pet care positions. I have flexibility, transportation, reliable, responsible, punctual, and will work around a variety schedules as needed! I will treat your animal that you were home the way I would treat my own animal in my home. I will follow all of the guidelines that you provide for how you love your pet to be cared for and follow them meticulously.
About: I began caring for my cat, Tori, who has allergies and respiratory issues, and through that experience I learned how to give medication, monitor breathing, and provide gentle emotional support. Taking care of her taught me how deeply pets trust us and how important consistent, loving care is. I want to bring that same compassion to every pet I look after. I currently don’t work part time or attend school, so I have plenty of time every day, including weekends, to care for your pets with full attention and love. 1️⃣ Clean, safe, and caring pet care 2️⃣ Safe, gentle, and loving care 3️⃣ Hygienic and caring pet service 4️⃣ Clean hands, safe pets, happy hearts 5️⃣ Gentle care with safety first
“Barbara has been a God send. I was worried about leaving my pups at home all day but I don’t worry anymore. My dogs are small and don’t trust right away but Barbara has a magic touch—love. They know she is a good person and look forward to walking with her. I can’t say enough about the way she cares for my dogs. She’s a welcome addition to our family.”

About: I have a lifetime experience with multiple kinds of pets. I grew up with multiple dogs in the household, a few had behavioral issues but I loved them and I worked with them all the same. I now have an amazing rescue boy, Moose, a high energy black mouth cur. He is amazing. I’ve also had experience administering medications to dogs and caring for my parents elderly black lab. I also currently have four domestic rats: Theo, mouse, Baxter and Nibbles (1-3 years old). So I have experience in the small animal department as well. I have also cared for my sisters cats Beethoven and Chai whenever she is out of town. Feeding, cleaning and administering eye drops and medications. I am open to caring for any animal. I look forward to meeting your furry friend/s. I am currently in between jobs and am looking to supplement my income. I have a daughter who is in school from 730-330 so I am free to care for your pets in between those hours. If needed outside of those hours we would have to talk further and I may be able to accommodate. I just moved into a new apartment so I don’t have the set up to care for your pets at my home (exception, I have a room I could house your small animal/s for a short time). I am working on getting set up for home care. I currently am available to come to you to care for your fur babies. My sister has been very happy with my care of her cats and if you want you can reach out to her for a recommendation, just let me know.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!

About: Dogs show us the true meaning of actions speak louder than words. They love so hard without even telling us, but showing us every day. Before 4 I have open availability M-F so I can go spend all the time I can with everyone. We can go on walks, go find new adventures. With time management and care. They are like children, then need a set schedule. I would love to make schedules for everyone so that they are calm and collected.
“Tonie was incredible! She responded super quickly to my last minute dog walking request and treated my puppy with much care. She was also super communicative and I’ll be asking her to look after him again :)”

About: Hello! Whether you need someone to walk your dogs twice a day, check on your kitty, or house sit for a week, I’d love to help! I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats at various shelters including the SPCA and Burlington Animal Services. In addition to basic pet care including feeding, cleaning, and socializing, I have quite a bit of experience being a medical foster. Caring for injured animals and administering medications isn’t an issue for me. I’ve owned cats, dogs, and various farm animals throughout my life so I’m very comfortable caring for any animal’s needs. If you have a pet I haven’t yet cared for I would be more than happy to learn how to care for your baby as well as you would. I'm also happy to bathe your pets for free, I just clean their shampoo and brush. I absolutely adore animals and am really looking forward to getting to know yours! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! I grew up with four high-energy terriers, so I’m very used to making sure that both pets and people are always safe in any given area. When I enter a home, I always open the door slowly with my leg blocking the gap to prevent excited pets from rushing out. Food or choking hazards are always kept out of reach either on counters or in cabinets and I’m completely comfortable with security measures like alarms and in-home cameras. My pets are a huge part of my life so I completely understand wanting to protect them to the best of your ability. I’m a full-time Rover sitter, so my schedule is super open. I know how hectic life can be and accept last-minute bookings, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! When housesitting, at least 80% of my time will be dedicated to your pets. I have to run errands from time to time, but other than that, I stay focused on them! I lock all doors and windows when I leave, at night, and generally during the day, and your home will look exactly how you left it! Regardless of the type of booking, I’m always very careful when I walk in to prevent animals from bolting outside.
About: I worked at an animal hospital for 5 years out of high school. I just love animals overall. They’re family so they should be treated as such. I work from home on my on business so my time is very flexible. I can usually make arrangements pretty quickly if anything should come up. I have a big living area, and a 1 year old poodle girl who loves to play. If your pup needs it, I also have a family sized crate. Plenty of comfortable blankets and toys all around. For potty time we can either go outdoor or indoors on puppy pads.

“Paige is so flexible and understanding. I had to cancel a couple hours before because my husband got sick. She graciously made the changes. She’s also fantastic with our pup. I highly recommend her.”


About: I have had about 9 years of dog care with one big pup and one little. When I was very young my sister and I started a dog walking company throughout our neighborhood, so I guess you could say I have always loved being around dogs/animals. Throughout the years we have had all different types of animals from Nigerian Uromastyx Lizards to kitties/dogs and hamsters. I think that animals are very special because they stick with you through thick and thin. There is no better type of love than the love of an animal. Since we have had many animals throughout my life, I automatically know what to do if a certain situation arises (accidents, etc.). The little things are whats most important to me when I am with my animals. Hanging out, watching tv, or just simply being in their presence is enough for me. My family and I love animals and they all hold a special place in our hearts as I’m sure they do for you too!

“Allie came by to meet our pup before taking care of him, which we really appreciated! She spent extra time with Teddy and made sure he was walked and fed. Will definitely be using her again!”
