Ali took great care of my 3 cats in Age 14 to 10 months. They have different needs but she made sure they were well fed and less stressed while I was out for vacation. I highly recommend her care.

About: Hello! my name is Ellie and I: -Grew up on a hobby farm and have been responsible for the care of cats, dogs, goats, chickens and other birds. -House sat for other families and have taken care of their dogs, cats and other animals. -I have a huge love for animals -I genuinely want to do my best in taking care of your pets<3 I am currently working on growing my small business as an artist from home so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I can come any day of the week except Sunday mornings. But please try to give me as much warning as possible so that I can be sure I don't plan something else on that day. I am sorry but I do not offer bording, overnight house sitting, or doggy daycare services. I do offer dog walking and drop in visits though.

About: I prefer to dog sit in my own home or offer drop in service as I have dogs of my own at home. I know how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pet is well loved and cared for while you're away from home and to be able to have that peace of mind. My baby (4 y/o spayed female) gets along well with any size/breed of dog and would LOVE to make new friends! Let me help you put your mind at ease and love on your 4 legged friend or friends. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! 💞 I work from home so I am present all day, not usually gone for more than a couple hours in the evening if at all. At home, I am present all day for bathroom breaks and playtime (or sun naps) in the fenced backyard. I do not force my dog to stay off furniture or out of the bed but can easily crate your baby if needed/required. My dog is crate trained but free roams while I'm away unless I'm dog sitting where crating is needed. In your home, I'll do as asked. I prefer to spend some play time with them rather than just potty and leave where possible to make sure they are getting exercise and attention while you're away.

About: Friends have relied on me to take care of their furry friends. I’ve watched small and medium dogs, as well as a kitten. The longest I have stayed at a house is for 5 days. I feed, walk, and play with pets. I am available evenings Tuesday - Saturday and all day Sunday and Monday. I work 8-4:30 throughout the week so I am available to walk dogs or do daycare at 5 pm. I take dogs out on walks, feed them, and occasionally cuddle with them on the couch as we watch reality tv shows. I have plenty of blankets so your pet will be nice and cozy!

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

Lucia was the best pet sitter for our kitty cat Sai. She went above and beyond and picked him up and dropped him off. She sent pics often and I was able to relax knowing he was in great hands. Lucia also just has a kind and friendly personality. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I am very happy with our experience.

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlyn and I’ve been a full time Vet Tech for the past 4 years and the Lead Tech for the last year. I absolutely adore my job! I know how to properly administer medication and insulin and I’m trained to know when a pet is feeling sick or injured. I work from 7:30am-6pm from Tuesday-Friday I have every other Saturday off and my days off are Sundays and Mondays. You can always message me and ask about my availability! As a Vet Tech, I’m always working with animals at my job daily while I also dog/cat sit as a little side job. I’m devoted in aiding all animals and making sure that they receive the proper care needed in my presence. How I care for your pet will depend on your pet’s health, personality, and what they like to do! All animals are different and have different wants and needs. I’m comfortable and familiar with caring for all pets whether your pet is young with high energy, or if your pet is old and blind. Pets will be watched thoroughly throughout the day and will be let out several times a day to avoid any damages to my property, however; owner’s will be responsible for paying for any damages that may be done by their pet. Urinating and defecating on furniture, chewing on furniture, ripping up carpet, etc. To avoid damages when I’m not home, I recommend bringing a crate that I can put your pet in while I’m away (if they do well in crates). Pets must be up to date on core vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella). They also must be on flea and tick preventative and have a negative fecal check (no intestinal parasites).

About: I have had dogs my entire life. That’s a long time! I assure you your dog would be in good hands! I will love them like they were mine! I stay home now so I’m available pretty much anytime. I’m willing to go to your home if it’s not to far away. Just ask I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs. One has a crate and one doesn’t. They both sleep where they want. I crate one only sometimes.

Sam was so fantastic with our two cats while we were away on vacation! Although our kitties are pretty low maintenance, she spent quality time with them while taking care of their needs. Our cats are normally antisocial, but we received several pictures during our time away that would prove otherwise! They were obviously happy to have her visit, and we received great updates to help alleviate the pet guilt that comes with vacation. We will definitely be contacting her next time we are away!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the experience I’ve had caring for dogs from a young age. I’ve always helped take care of my uncle’s dog, making sure she was fed, taken out to go potty, and had someone to play with. I’m very patient and always pay attention to what each dog needs—whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and do my best to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to care for pets, especially dogs. I really enjoy being around animals—it gives me a chance to get outside, stay active, and do something I love. Spending time with pets is not only fun for me, but it also helps me stay balanced and happy during the week. When caring for pets, I always make sure their needs come first. With my own dog, I take him outside regularly—whether it’s for potty breaks or just to enjoy some fresh air. I stay by his side the whole time to make sure he feels safe, loved, and not alone. Whether I’m at home or at a client’s home, I give the same level of attention, making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I’m always patient and gentle, and I make sure to show them lots of love and affection.

About: As someone who has been around dogs since the age of 9, pet care comes naturally to me. I have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals, and have made it my mission to care for them intentionally. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and basic grooming. I take pride in providing the highest level of care for every pet I encounter, and strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. My passion for animal welfare drives me to always go above and beyond for the pets under my care, ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve. Dog sitting is a great option for me. I can easily take care of the dog during the day while I work, and have plenty of time to spend with them on the weekends. Plus, since I'm already at home, it's convenient for me to give the dog the attention and care they need throughout the day. When entrusted to care for a dog owner's pet in their home while they are away, I provide attentive and responsible care. This involves following the owner's instructions for feeding, exercise, and any medication or special needs the pet may have. I also make sure the pet receives plenty of love and attention, with regular playtime and cuddles. Additionally, I keep the home clean and tidy, and communicate with the owner as needed to ensure they have peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Nicole took such wonderful care of Tinkerbell while we were away. They provided regular updates, photos, and made sure she got plenty of love and attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in caring and capable hands. Nicole was also very professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We came home to a happy, relaxed [pet], and we’ll absolutely be booking again in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.

I highly recommend Fatima as a pet babysitter. She really loves animals, especially dogs. She has a dog named Bruno, and she takes great care of him. She always makes sure he’s fed, takes him outside when he needs to go potty, and gives him lots of love and attention. Fatima is always happy to spend time with him, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just being there. I know she would treat any pet like her own and make sure they feel safe and cared for.

Sasha was an amazing sitter for my dog Ziggy. He is a 5 yr old 95 lbs boxer. I used her services for a week while I was out of town. Frequently, she would send photos of him. She kept my home neat and clean. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.

About: I've had my own dogs and cats since I was a kid. Family and friends call on me for help and guidance with their pets. Anything from feedings, baths, nail trims and health questions. I am currently working full time. I will be available after work during the week. Weekends, I am available to spend time interacting, playing and taking care of your dogs/cats. I can, feed, bathe, play with your pets. Go on walks or play in a yard. If crating is needed I'm able to do that as well.
