Anna was absolutely wonderful! She was very friendly and highly skilled with caring for dogs, Anna stayed at my house while I was away, and she bonded with my dog instantly. I was completely impressed with her ability to interact and connect with my dog. Anna was really good with following through with my requests regarding my dogs diet, and she followed up with me right away with any concerns. Anna is very reliable, trustworthy and honest, I highly recommend Anna to care for anyone’s pets. And FYI, she also willingly and lovingly cared for and fed my bird. Leaving my dog is hard for me, my heart aches to leave him behind, I never imagined I would find someone who could love my dog much ad I do, but Anna 100% exceeded my expectations.

Key was very respectful of our home and our pups. She managed our expectations and I think it should be noted here: she does not stay in the home with your dogs, more like drop on visits in bulk. Exactly what we needed. Thank you Key!

Cassaundra was absolutely wonderful. She kept me updated with photos while we were gone and made sure our animals were loved and cared for. She also went the extra mile and cleaned our house which looked even better than when we left it! Will definitely book her again to house sit when we’re out of town.

About: I signed up to help others care for their pets because I use Rover as well. Having a trusted individual available to care for our furry friends is important. I provide excellent pet care service for others. I will inquire about your pet’s personality, special needs, likes and dislikes. I will professionally communicate with you, treat your pet with great care, and your property with respect if welcomed into your home. Thanks for considering my services, I look forward to hearing from you. Here to help. I am employed full time. Any assistance I would be able to provide would be early morning, late evening during the weekdays, and much greater flexibility on the weekend. I will care for your pets and be respectful to your home. For me that begins with good communication between you and me. Setting clear expectations between us and getting to know your pets as best as possible before the first visit.

Words can’t even express how grateful we are that we found Ashley. She truly cares for pets and it was so relieving to know they were well cared for while we had a trip for a family member in the hospital. It was one less thing to worry about, which is exactly what we needed. She was always at our home several times a day and took time with them giving companionship which was so important to us. Our kids really are thankful for her sending updates about their fay and photos & videos of the pets. It made them smile each time. It’s just so sweet to see how much she cares and helped our family.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and caring for animals comes naturally to me. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped raise puppies, supported senior dogs, and provided daily care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, walking, training, or just giving them the love they need, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets, and it brings me so much joy to keep them happy, safe, and healthy! Ive been a stay at home mom for about 6 years now so I have plenty of time! I’m available for drop-ins, daycare for the day, boarding, and cuddles on weekends and weekdays. Whether your fur baby needs mid-day playtime or dinner served with a side of affection, I’ve got it covered! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play, a friendly and well-behaved dog who enjoys having company. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate or crate as needed. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where every animal is treated like family — whether they’re here for a quick visit or an extended stay.

About: I've been involved with dogs for well over 25 years. We first owned a Greyhound for 12-ish years. After that, I volunteered at our local SPCA, providing dogs that were waiting for adoption walks and socialization. Later, I became a foster parent for a Working-Dog training school. As a semi-retired person, I have plenty of time to watch, walk, and play with your loved-one. Let me know if there are specific skills that you wish me to reinforce, or activities that you wish me to do. I will abide by all rules of a clients home and walk/play on a schedule that you set. I can also pick up the mail and bring it in/place it where is goes.

Jennerifer was 20/10. We were struggling to find someone who would stay at our house and hang out with our kids. From the moment we met Jennifer she was so kind, professional, organized, and clearly loved animals. Her communication was phenomenal from the meet and greet to the moment we came home. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. We will 1,000% be asking her to come back in the future!

About: I am a licensed attorney by day and lifelong animal lover at heart. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule while spending time in Virginia helping and supporting my mother as she approaches retirement. My flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day, evenings, and overnight stays. I began my own small dog-walking business in San Francisco while I was in college and later worked through Rover walking large-breed dogs and cat-sitting while studying for the California Bar Exam and working as a paralegal. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs, but I especially love giant breeds like Great Danes. I also adore cats and currently have my own beloved cat, DJ Mustard, who has made me even more attentive to feline personalities, routines, and comfort. Animals have always brought joy and grounding to my life. I believe pets deserve patient, loving, observant care and that owners should feel completely comfortable while away from home. I am calm, responsible, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routines. For overnight stays, I also offer optional extras at a bargain cost including homemade pet treats from recipes I have developed myself as well as seasonal or holiday-themed pet portraits and photos. I offer discounts for teachers and service members in honor of my mother, who is a teacher, and my grandfather, who served in the United States Navy. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, medication, overnight comfort, or simply someone dependable and kind, I would love the opportunity to care for them. As a remote professional with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine through walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, overnight care, and check-ins. Licensed attorney with extensive background checks who provides attentive in-home pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, companionship, overnight support, and thoughtful communication updates.

About: I provide personalized care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, and giving extra patience and attention to senior pets. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring, responsible hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I plan my schedule to allow time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, which helps me provide reliable care for pets with different routines and needs. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets the attention, consistency, and affection they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and comfortable. I keep environments clean, calm, and pet-safe by removing hazards, securing doors and gates, and closely supervising interactions. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care requests exactly as provided. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and connected while they’re away.

Jenna was exactly what our dog needed. She was dependable, caring, and attentive throughout her stay. Because our dog is older, Jenna took extra care to make sure she was comfortable and safe in the heat, including ensuring she could easily get back inside from the backyard. She also went above and beyond in several small ways, which we truly appreciated. Jenna left the house neat and tidy, and we could hardly tell she had been there. Most importantly, our dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned home. We would gladly book Jenna again and highly recommend her to others.
