About: I had a dog since I was 9 who sadly passed away after 13 years. Love dogs but can’t get my own until I move out. I watch dogs for family friends on the side. I love all dogs especially high energy dogs who needs long walks. I’m currently in a masters program Monday-Friday 8-5. I nanny kids with special needs through the week on a loose schedule. I’m able to leave school during lunch. I’m great at long runs/walks cuddles my sister has been working on rover for 2 years and we have a dog at our house every day of the year!
“Alexander arrived on time and he was great re-meeting JoJo and making him comfortable. Alexander sent multiple updates on their day and JoJo had a great time. Will definitely have Alexander over again to watch JoJo when I have to leave for long appointments.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Jingying! She took amazing care of our two puppies, Raina and Emma, while we were away for 10 days. Raina, our older girl, needs extra attention and daily medication, and Jingying handled her care with such patience, compassion, and attentiveness. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. Emma, our younger pup, is full of energy, and Jingying made sure she had plenty of playtime and love too. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we came home, both dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Jingying is responsible, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Lilah was AMAZING ! It was our first time using Rover for our little guy and we were so nervous but Lilah made it super easy! She sent lots of pictures and put our minds at ease! Definitely will be using her in the future !”
About: I am more excited to hang out with your pets than you are for your vacation. Grew up with dogs and cats, and I am currently the go-to sitter among my family and friends! I am freelance editor and part-time substitute teacher with 100% control of my schedule. On subbing days, I’m at school from 8:00-2:30; for my freelance projects, I can work anywhere (including your home, with your pets!) The comfort of your pets is my number one priority, and I am happy to accommodate experiences to disrupt their schedules and environment as little as possible, especially for high-stressed friends.
“Jane was absolutely lovely! This was my first time hiring anyone to watch my babies and I felt so confident in Jane to take care of them. From start to finish the process was extremely smooth, especially for my last minute booking. My animals, home, and mind were all taken care of while I went out of state! I appreciate you so much Jane!”
“Joy took good care of our pup while we were away. She was friendly, respectful and responsive. Also provided updates and photos which kept us at ease knowing our boy was doing well. Would love to have her back again!”
About: Animals have an incredible ability to ease the tension they sense in the ones they love, so in turn I would like to provide a sense of safety and love with each encounter with your pet. Your chosen family is often stronger than the one you are born into, and these animals that we have taken into our homes and hearts show it clearly and consistently. I have worked in an animal hospital for about 2 1/2 years and in my time I learned many tools to create a safe and welcoming environment. I can trim nails, clean ears, brush out matts comfortably and give sanitary haircuts. I was trained to give thorough baths to make pets squeaky clean! I can also administer medication and have taken care of pets who are getting up there in years. I have experience watching 20-30 dogs in a group setting and can walk up to 7 dogs comfortably at a time. I have basic dog training knowledge and I am familiar with animal behavior and how to deescalate potential dangerous situations and soothe an anxious animal. I will soon be going back to school and have a part-time job so my schedule is flexible. I am looking to add walking pet sitting and bathing back into my routine. Written instructions on specifics on how to care for your pets are helpful in making sure your standards of care are being met. Trust is a need not a want when it come to animals, some need easing into meeting a new person and some are all in on the initial meeting, whatever the case forcing a connection is the best way to destroy it. Taking time to bond is something essential to animal caregiving.
“I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional care provided by Mattea! This was my first time using her services, and she exceeded all expectations. Not only was she punctual, but her genuine care and attention to detail immediately put both me and my boy at ease. My dog, who struggles with separation anxiety, was comforted and well-cared for throughout the entire time. Mattea demonstrated professionalism and a true passion for animals. Additionally, she kept me updated regularly, providing peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch pet care. We will always resort to you when Mochi needs a sitter. Thank you, Mattea, for your outstanding service!”
“Abigail took great care of our pets Jenna and Celly while house sitting. She sent us photos every day, and left the place nice and clean. She was very respectful and we felt our pets were well cared for! I would recommend her to a friend. Thanks Abigail!”
“Chloe was a wonderful dog sitter! I had NEVER left my 3 old dogs before, one of whom is on cardiac medications. She took excellent care of them and did so much more to look after my house. I loved the photos and videos of them that she faithfully sent twice a day. They really allowed me to relax on my trip because I heard how she talked to them and saw how she loved on them. She is a great communicator and very conscientious. When I got home, they were all well fed, medicated, had been well supervised and very well cared for. I will definitely use Chloe again, and now feel comfortable about being gone from the house, knowing that Chloe will provide the care they need.”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life (19 years and counting!). I’ve had the joy of raising dogs, chickens, birds, rats, mice, a snake, rabbits, and cats. I have worked with multiple rescues, and being around animals is truly a joy to me. I’m skilled in handling special needs animals. I deeply care for all creatures and value making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I understand that every critter has its own personality and needs, so no matter the pet, I’m here to give them the care and attention they deserve! I’m currently working part-time and as a freelance artist, which means plenty of time at home with your animal companions! I do take in fosters, so there will be times that I’m all full. Whenever you need me, we can figure something out! I have a fenced large backyard, five friendly dogs who love new friends and are used to boarding dogs and fosters. Our dogs are crate trained, and we have extras if yours need it. They spend quality time inside with us, and are taken well care of.
About: I am a Registered veterinary technician with 15 plus years of experience working with animals.I Have several years of experience in Emergency and Specialty medicine. In the past I have worked in the neurology department for over 5 years and so I have experience in caring for IVDD dogs and cats, and pets with seizures. My experience makes it easy for me to recognize when a pet is experiencing an emergency. I love taking care of all pets and specialize in the care of pets with special needs. I am currently working from home so I have some extra time during the week and weekends for walks, in house visits and pet sitting. I treat every pet as if it was my own and I am very careful when at the clients home. I will care for and nurture your pet, after all I do this for a living :)

She doesn’t do this to earn a living, she does it because she genuinely loves all the creatures.”
