“Wow my Maxie’s 1st daycare stay was phenomenal thanks to Tracy and Brian! The videos were so comforting and Maxie seemed very comfortable. I love how she took to Tracy also. I was so nervous to leave my baby and was immediately calmed in Tracy’s serene presence. She was very amenable to my schedule and flexible to possible changes. I am forever grateful!”

“Yuhan was very good with my dog Teddy, and too him on short notice as I had a last minute event to attend. She was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures which I loved. She's a lovely person and filled me in everything about my pet when I picked him up.”

About: Hi there! I am Barb, and I'm thrilled to share my passion for animals with you. At 30 years old, I recently took a bold leap and left my corporate job to pursue what I truly love: caring for and helping animals. While I dreamt of becoming a veterinarian, I realized that needles and blood aren't my strong suit. That’s why I decided to focus on pet sitting and dog walking, where I can provide the love and care our furry friends deserve without that aspect of veterinary work. I've been part of the Rover community since 2018, working as a side gig while maintaining my corporate job. Now that I’ve transitioned to full-time pet services, I have the flexibility to accommodate your schedules and ensure your pets receive the attention they need. My experience and dedication to animal welfare only enhance my commitment to providing a safe and loving environment for your beloved pets. I’m excited to build lasting relationships with you and your pets. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! Feel free to reach out—I’m here to help! As a full-time pet sitter, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate same-day and last-minute bookings, ensuring I can provide exceptional care whenever needed. Each day offers new opportunities to connect with furry friends, whether it's taking them for walks or simply enjoying their company. I specialize in providing trustworthy and attentive pet care in the comfort of your homes since 2018. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are in caring hands. I like to focus on maintaining routine and comfort for each pet, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I understand the value of a clean space and make it my mission to leave your home exactly as I found it. My extensive experience in house sitting has equipped me with the skills to handle any situation with professionalism and care, ensuring that both pets and homes are well looked after. Your trust is paramount, and I am dedicated to exceeding your expectations every time.

“Melody was absolutely amazing! I initially booked a last-minute dog-sitting appointment, and she accommodated me with no issues. She kept me updated throughout the day, letting me know when my pup went potty or had a meal, and even helped with crate training. I noticed positive changes in my pup—he was much calmer upon pick-up, which showed how well he was cared for. Melody was incredibly reliable, watching my pup for a full two weeks, and I never once had to worry about his well-being. She even assisted with food changes, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”

“We did a trial stay with Gabriella before leaving our dog for a week in November. Kira was walked twice, had lunch, a nap and went on a little car ride. She was very happy when she got home. Gabriella was wonderful with her and it makes us feel much less anxious about leaving her.”

Experience with rambunctious kittens and puppies as well as elderly cats and dogs who need peace, quiet and 24/7 care. Available 24/7 365 if schedules align. Ideal for pets who are used to having someone with them all day. Willing to customize schedule to pet parents needs including weekends and holidays. All pets are treated with love and respect as precious as if they were my own. I provide services according to pet parents detailed instructions just as I would need and expect when trusting another person with mime.

About: Hi! I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident their companions are in caring, trustworthy hands — and that’s the exact peace of mind I strive to provide. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether it's administering medication, following a feeding schedule, or just offering lots of affection and playtime, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also comfortable handling last-minute changes, special instructions, and multiple pets. Clients appreciate my dependability, clear communication, and genuine bond with their pets. I know how valuable it is to keep owners updated and reassured while they’re away — and I take pride in going the extra mile to make both pets and their humans feel at ease. I would love the opportunity to bring my calm, attentive care and love for animals to your team. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to speak with you soon! I work from home Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I’m in the office for part of the day on Mondays and Thursdays (about 4–6 hours) and I can leave earlier if needed on a case by case. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve throughout the day. I have over 10 years of pet sitting experience, taking care of my neighbors and friend's pets, doing long term and short term fostering pups through rescue that need a little extra TLC as well as my own foster fails. Seniors have a special place in my heart as my two senior babies passed last year. Every pup is different in what they need during a stressful time and I am great at those cues to be able to provide them with all the showering of love they could want or the space they need until they get more comfortable. I take pleasure in filling in those gaps - keeping their routine, loving on them, playing with them in the house or yard, giving them treats, taking them for walks etc. Your babies will be treated how I would expect someone to love and respect my babies.

About: I have adored and loved pets all my life. I believe they deserve to be cherished, nurtured, and protected. I love caring for them a lot! Pet care fits perfectly well. I am able to provide excellent care and protection for dogs. I can provide walks, feedings and lots of love. I will care for pets with lost of love and attention to detail. I'll ensure they are safe, entertained, and protected according to their needs.

“Hanna was amazing at providing updates she dog sat my dog for the day and was wonderful, will definitely book again. Thanks again!”

“Mumbo had a great time with Kaylah! Kaylah was excellent about sending updates and coordinating times to meet. She even reached out during the stay when she noticed Mumbo was having a little issue with his leg (a problem he does have occasionally). The leg issue turned out fine but it was great to know Kaylah was paying such close attention to him. We felt very comfortable knowing Mumbo was in such a loving home!”

About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I always wanted a dog but wasn’t allowed. Growing up I had a few animals cats, Guinea pigs, ferrets, Gerbil, Bird and fish. I would always feed the stray cats in my neighborhood and cared for stray kittens. Unfortunately, now I can’t have cats because my son’s allergy. We have a wonderful dog now.. Her name is Kyra. She’s one years old. She is considered a teddy bear dog, her breed is call shih-poo. She brings me so much joy and comfort.. I love her dearly. Having her make me want more dogs. My best option is pet sitting. I’ve cared for many of my family pets. I love spending time with them and caring for them. I look forward to meeting many new buddies. I work at a school. I am currently not working for the summer. Right now, My availability is flexible until I go back to work I live in a house with a backyard not fenced. I have a porch that has a porch potty. I will also take your dog for walks occasionally walks.

“She had great availability, and my dog loved playing with hers. She was flexible about dietary things (like my dog on a raw meat diet). She took cute pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s urination and bowel movements. She was kind, kept a clean house, had fenced in space outdoors for the dogs to play and get some exercise, movement and sunlight. She was reliable and felt safe with my dog in her care.”

“Hoda is great. We were in town for an event and she took great care of Piper and made her feel relaxed from the get go even though it was a new environment. We would not hesitate to book Hoda again!”

About: My friends literally refer to be as the professional dog/cat sitter . I love taking care of animals! All my friends who have pets depend on me pretty much to take care of their house/pets when they’re away and someone mentioned this app to me and I was like “no way I pretty much already do that” so I figured I try and go pro with it lol I’m currently working part time and am a personal trainer in the area so much schedule is extremely flexible plus I usually stay home on the weekends and don’t travel much so I’m super reliable I simply do whatever the owner wants from me and just make sure I play with the pet and let it know I’m there to take care of them and there not with a stranger .
