About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I especially enjoy birds. I had a dove that lived 8 years past the normal lifespan. I work as a school bus driver so I am completely free during the summer. During the school year I am just available on weekends and holidays. I would not mind working for you over winter break. I will take very good care of your home and leave it just as I found it (or maybe better). I take care of pets by prioritizing their needs.
About: Hi! I’m Andrea. I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve raised and loved Great Danes, golden retrievers, chihuahuas, and several cat breeds, so I’m comfortable with everything from big gentle giants to tiny divas. I’ve also personally pet sat for a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including senior pets and animals with behavioral challenges. Whether your pup needs patience and structure or your cat just wants quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for like family. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I’m free all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so I have plenty of time for longer visits, walks, or overnight stays. During the week, I get off work around 4:30 p.m. and can also stop by during my lunch break if needed. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own space. I stick to their usual routine, whether that’s a morning walk, cuddles on the couch, or just quiet company, and follow any instructions you leave to a T. I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for mine, and I’ll always keep you in the loop with sweet updates and photos. My goal is to make things as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets while you’re away!
“Alex was awesome with my dog! She sent pictures and notes with how things were going regularly. I was so nervous to leave him with a stranger but I was quickly relieved once Alex started sharing pictures. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: In addition to owning cats and dogs my whole life, I work at an emergency vet clinic. I love all animals and can't wait to meet yours :) I work full-time at a veterinary hospital while preparing for veterinary school. On my days off, I am available for drop-in visits as well :) I unfortunately can't take any additional pets into my home, but I love to meet pets at their level. Sitting on the floor with a dog is one of life's true delights.
About: Hey there! I’m JinAe-a lifelong dog lover to my core & a proud parent to a playful 1 year old pup who believes every dog is a potential new best friend. I've had dogs throughout my life from a spirited Irish Setter to a reactive rescue who needed extra TLC, plus many more. Whether your dog is up for a calm walk, game of chase, or a good old-fashioned nap, I’m here to offer care that feels like home-belly rubs included. First time using Rover? Click on the link for $20 off! Happy you are here! https://www.rover.com/sit/jinaeb95494 Caring for dogs isn’t a side gig, it’s part of my who I am. Every morning starts with a walk (rain or shine!), a round of play, and cuddles with my own dog before I dive into the day. I carve out time daily & weekly for client pups, whether it’s neighborhood strolls, park play dates, or home visits. I thrive on the structure & joy that dog care brings-it’s a welcome constant in my schedule. I plan my calendar around wagging tails & happy paws and wouldn’t have it any other way. Pet safety, comfort, & happiness are my top priorities-always. In my home pets are treated like family, with cozy spaces to relax, regular playtime, & routines to help them feel secure and loved. I maintain a clean, pet friendly environment and tailor each day to fit their individual needs. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same attentive approach: following instructions closely, keeping schedules consistent, & making sure pets feel calm & cared for, even when their owner’s are away. For anxious pups, I bring extra patience & calm energy. I avoid overwhelming stimulation, offer gentle reassurance & give them time to adjust at their own pace. Whether it’s using their favorite toy, a scent from home, or simply sitting nearby, I focus on what makes them feel safe. I’ve found that a steady routine & lots of positive reinforcement go a long way in helping nervous dogs build trust and relax.
“We love Teresa! She is a treasure! She is very conscientious and took great care of Remy, our Golden Retriever, and of our house while we were away for 10 days. Teresa sent us daily updates, photos and videos, so we didn’t ever need to worry about Remy at all. When we returned, we could tell that he had received the best care. We will definitely want to receive Teresa’s dog-sitting services again! Thank you, Teresa!”
About: I have a German shepherd who is amazing and also dog reactive so Ive gotten good at walking her and learning how to deal with her reactive behavior I have to take care of my puppy and adding another dog to the schedule isn’t very hard for me to do. I will always make time to hang out and take care of animals I have my dog in my house with me and if there is an issue with my dog not getting along with yours I’m able to keep them separate. I will be around pretty much the whole time while I’m caring for your dog.
About: I’ve been taking care of my neighbors and friends dogs for about 5 years now. I have my own dog as well that is now turning 8 this year. I am a very reliable and trustworthy person to look after your dog(s). I see them as equals. I love walking dogs, having play time together and of course the scratchys. I know dogs can have different personalities and I am someone you can rely on to take care of them. I am currently looking for a part-time job for the summer so as of right now I am completely free throughout the week to take care of your animals! I will care for your pets as my own. Will help them when needed. I will take them on daily walks, play with them, follow the instructions that you will give me throughly, and keep them safe from other animals, cars and anything else that will harm them. When I am doing an overnight watch I will let them go outside before bed (at anytime you instruct me to) and let them outside right away in the morning(or anytime you instruct me to) I will take care of your animals like my own.
