“Elaina is the absolute best! I have used her services repeatedly now, and could not be more grateful to have found her here on Rover. She is extremely accommodating, responsive, and genuinely a kind human. Someone you would want to leave your pup with, and feel very comfortable doing so! I could not recommend Elaina enough.”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friend, family and neighbors have trusted me to look after their pets. From daily walks and trips to the park to feeding, bathing and overnight care, I've gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and size. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive love, attention, and the care they deserve. Whether it's an energetic pup who loves playtime or a senior dog needing extra patience, I'm committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for every pet in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dog walking, check-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. Whether it's a morning or evening walk, a midday check-up, or extended overnight stay, I ensure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I love spending time with furry companions, so pet care doesn't feel like work it's something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. Whether in my home or a client's home, I ensure that every pet feels comfortable, safe and well care for. I live in an apartment, so I provide a clean and cozy indoor environment where pets have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime and quiet space to relax. Pets staying in my home will have regular walks and exercise, and I follow their routine as per the clients request to make sure they feel at home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I stick to their usual schedule to maintain consistency, ensuring they are fed, have fresh water, and get plenty of walks and attention. My goal is to make each pet feel at ease and cared for, whether they're staying with me or in their own familiar space.

“Rachel is the best! She is super friendly and responsible. She not only took care of my cat Mimi very well, and also helped with troubleshoot my pet camera, and watering plants. It’s really appreciated.”

“She is wonderful. So reliable, communicative, and caring. I had total peace of mind while I was away knowing she was caring for Maggieour cat. She got her to play everyday which I'm sure she loved. Everything was clean and tidy when we came back. Maggie was happy and healthy and at ease. Thank you so much Adora.”

About: Cozy area, lots of attention, run with dog, walk around yard, can meet my dogs! Lots of playtime, food & water, outside time. I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years in my family, I’ve dogsat before in a clients home for a week, whom was also a diabetic, so I had to also give insulin. I am a huge dog lover, and always love being around them. We can go to dog parks, take plenty of walks around the neighborhood, and have great treats! I hope to provide great hospitality for your dog or dogs, and have them enjoy their time just as much as I would be. By letting me watch your dogs, I will make sure we all have the best time together! **I have unavailable during the week, but am available in the evenings on weekdays, there’s just no option for that on here** I have a full time job during the week.. On weekdays I am usually available on Mondays after 6pm, Tuesdays after 5pm, and Fridays after 5pm! Weekends vary, I’ll do my best to keep my calendar updated! It depends on what the client wants me to do to care for them! Making sure they go to the bathroom, hanging out with them inside, taking them for a walk, etc. overall, I like to make sure the pet(s) are getting attention and being entertained.

“She's terrific. Kobe was in excellent hands . Will use her again without hesitation”

“Heeyoung was awesome. We had a wedding to go to and realized last minute that we needed someone to watch Ollie, our 4 month old Basenji. We contacted Heeyoung the day before, she responded so quickly and was able to come to our house, meet Ollie, go over all the instructions and we were all set. She came on the night of the wedding, texted us when she got to our house, she also texted us all the details of her visit, and then again when she left. Such a terrific experience and Heeyoung was so gentle and caring with Ollie. Will definitely will be using Heeyoung for future dog sitting and will be meeting with her over the summer to discuss boarding Ollie when we go on vacation. Thank you Heeyoung!!”

About: I have decades of experience caring for pets, mostly my own. I grew up in a house full of dogs and have maintained that my whole life. Also had a great cat, hamsters and other pets. I believe animals deserve the best care possible as our “best friends” and beloved family members. I have extensive experience too in customer service and am highly solution-oriented. If you need me in a moments notice, always happy to do it if available. I have many years of experience also serving on boards at various animal shelters as well as volunteering to walk/care for dogs and cats and these locations. Even ran the NYC marathon as a top fundraiser for the ASCPA. My priorities in order are: god, pets, then people. Think I’ve got that in good order! 🥰 Currently between full time jobs and looking for a change of pace as well as to build a business that can extend into charitable resources beyond my income to help animals in need. I will follow your instructions exactly as detailed as well as use my years of experience should something occur or I notice a need/potential issue. My goal is to make the visit as enriching for your pet as possible. I think they sense that on me as animals tend to gravitate toward me, even the most shy and skittish. We live a nice life but my dogs probably even better than I. I provide them with superior care and lots of love. Animals are very perceptive and so I work to extend that same level of connection to all animals I meet, which would include yours if you select me for your pet care needs. Thank you!

About: I have many years of pet care experience with dogs and cats. I've raised puppies and also taken care of senior dogs including my own dog, Scarlet. Currently retired so flexible as far as availability. Am a morning person so I can do early appointments. Nights also not a problem if needed. I would like to care for your pet in your home environment as that would be the least stressful option available to care for your pet.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats since I was young. Although I’m mildly allergic to furs and therefore do not have pets of my own, I absolutely want to spend more time with others’ pets! I currently work remote at home. I have a rather flexible schedule to walk/care for pets on a daily basis, during the workday and potentially the weekends. I offer pet care for both dogs and cats and maybe other small mammals as well. I do not bring pets back to my home but am more than willing to spend time at the owner’s place based on needs.

“Not only is Sam my partner, but she has so much love to give and is amazing with Milo. She loves him like her own and he reciprocates with loyalty. For the last year he has been doing things I’ve never seen him do in the 9 years he was alive prior; he makes her follow him outside to play after he does his business in the yard, waits outside her shower, runs onto her lap once we sit outside, checks to see if she’s with me every time I get home, sleeps guarding the bedroom door, and he finally can withstand a car ride! Oh, and Milo hates the groomer so Sam learned how to groom him so he can still see, run, play, and go #2 without his coat getting in the way.”

About: I grew up with having dogs and cats where I learned the importance of feeding, watering, cleaning, walking, bathing, and sometimes medicating (when sick) but most importantly playing with them through their different stages of life. I'm currently working remotely, leaving me plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available for petsitting on the weekends and general pet care on weekdays in the evening. Consistency is vital for pets, understanding the daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and special requirements.By sticking to a daily routine will help ensure comfort and well-being.

About: Since grade school I have been taking care of my families animals. I have experience with puppies and kittens. In the past I have been done extended pet sitting for weeks at a time. My girlfriend and I currently have two young cats (Bob & Paolo). I am excited to match your fur babies energy whether that’s going on long walks or being couch potato’s together. You tell me! My girlfriend and I have recently moved to New York from Wichita, KS so she can finish up med school. Leaving my previous job behind I am currently available for what works for you! From previous pet sittings I am used to giving medication, adding raw food to kibble, & going on long walks. I took care of my sisters prehistoric 14 year old Frenchie who was very high maintenance. Just let me know what your fur baby needs!

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner of a Goldendoodle for 9 years, I bring patience, reliability, and real hands-on experience to every walk and visit. I’m currently looking for full-time work and working part-time currently, so I am very flexible with my timing. I am around during the week and most weekends. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with space to play and relax. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I give lots of attention, maintain routines, and keep pet parents updated with photos and notes.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life of all ages and cared for my friends and others along the way. Dogs have always been a part of my life. And I have developed a new found love for cats since becoming a cat aunt. I’m a therapist who works different hours than regular 9-5 which allows me to have my mornings and early afternoons most days. It’s always been a side job of mine. Dog safety is priority. Dogs are part of the family in my home and are always monitored while either in the yard or house. Time is usually spent alongside dog.

“I had a wonderful experience with Julia caring for my dogs and cat while I was away. From the start, she was extremely punctual and professional. She even took the time to visit beforehand to learn exactly where everything was,like the food, water bowls, and cat litter showing how committed she was to making sure everything would be perfect. During her time with my pets, Julia stayed in great communication, sending me regular updates and the cutest photos that really put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared about my animals and took her responsibility seriously. I highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking since I’m 10. I have two of my own dogs and have had many rodents and have cared for cats and birds. I can provide in your home pet sitting/ house sitting, where I can play and care for your pet while you’re away making sure they are getting plenty of attention. I walk dogs and make sure they get the exercise they need. I can dog walk daily. I have experience with rescues and troubled dogs as well, I am an armature trainer. I have taken animal behavior classes and learned training methods of sea mammals at an aquarium which transfers well. I am not a certified groomer but I am very comfortable providing bathes for dogs. I have always loved animals which is why I am studying pre-veterinary medicine at the University of Delaware. I am very flexible and can turn on a dime need be. You can be assured I will care and love your furry friend like I love mine. I am going to be working in a lab during the day but am available weekends and after lab (hours TBD). This would allow me to do drop in and home stays for dogs that are used to be home during the work day I follow the instructions provided by the owner. If the prefer crate training that works and if they despise it that’s also fine. The owner knows their pet and I will respect that.
