“Very caring, prompt, reliable and friendly”
About: I’m experienced with High energy breeds and dogs of all temperaments. I have cared for a spirited German short haired pointer daily since she was a puppy, ensuring her exercise and play needs were met to support her older owner. I’ve also cared for various needy dogs, tailoring playtime to their unique energy levels whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys. Beyond exercise, I provide plenty of cuddles to make dogs feel loved while their owners are away. My goal is to provide your dog with the same love and attention that you do! My schedule is mostly flexible. I am able to accommodate weekday bookings and weekends with advance notice. I can also offer holiday care when requested. I have experience with dogs that have a tendency to pull on the lead during walks. I have learned the best way to handle this is to shorten the leash, offer positive affirmations and treats for good behavior. Tell me more about your dog so I can ensure they will be safe!
About: I have loved animals my entire life. I currently have 8 dogs and 2 cats of my own and foster frequently. I volunteer yearly at an animal sanctuary in UT. I transport dogs and cats for rescues. I have participated in many dog/puppy training classes and would continue any training programs for you while your baby is in my care. I will dispense medications and follow any medical instructions necessary. I am currently retired and love to hike and walk. I have an open schedule in the mornings and afternoons 7 days a week to care for your fur babies. I’m sure they would love to join me on a walk or hike. I have 8 dog friendly dogs that romp at my 7 acre property. My home is often referred to by friends as “Fran’s Dog Park” as visiting dogs are always welcomed. My two cats have learned to tolerate the dog infestation
“Jennifer is amazing and has been extremely patient with our not so easy going, possessive dog. Highly recommend.”
“Mary was incredibly kind and patient with my senior dog. She took the time to earn my dog's trust, thoughtfully bringing treats to the meet and greet. Her dedication and gentle approach made all the difference. I highly recommend Mary—she’s fantastic!”
About: I absolutely love animals!! I will treat your pet as if it was my own baby. I grew up with a dachshund named Ketchup, he was my baby. I had to carry him up and down the stairs. He was a handful, but the best. I currently own two cockapoos Kole and Wallie. They are also a handful, but I love them. Wallie has lot of energy, Kole is pretty chill but so happy. They are old men now- 14 and 12 🙂 I do work full time 8-4:30/5pm. I will be available before and after work for walks or drop bys on my lunch. I have cared for many families pets. I enjoy doing this. I work full time at home. 8-4:30/5. I can do drops in before and after work and lunch time if not booked. I can be flexible. I will treat you pet like my own. I will be caring and loving. I can give snuggles if that’s what they like. Lots of love for your fur babies!
About: I am in the military and want a dog very badly but cannot have one of my own. Dog sitting will help you and me. I have every other weekend off and available anytime. Also every other Monday Tuesday available anytime. Flexible schedule to work with your schedule as well. My apartment complex has a fenced in area for dogs to take care of their business. I am in a very quiet friendly neighbor hood.
“Great job! Thanks again!”
About: I’ve taken care of numerous types of dogs and cats since 2019. I can provide oral medications and injections to animals, as well as care for elderly dogs and dogs with special needs. I am currently a graduate student at the University Of Connecticut. I love taking care of animals when I am not at work or my classes. I work hard to ensure that the animals are well taken care of and given plenty of pets. I also ensure that the houses I stay at are as clean as possible.
About: My husband and I recently returned from Costa Rica where we volunteered on a dog farm assisting with bathing, grooming and giving lots of love to almost 2,000 rescued dogs that live there. My husband also has a separate rover account under Maxi S. During my high school/college years my mother trained 5 different dogs for guiding eyes for the blind which I helped in the training process as well while home. I also started housesitting and caring for pets of local neighbors at the young age of 10. We have always had dogs in my home. I couldn’t imagine living without a dog. I have experience with dogs of all ages, puppies to senior dogs. I myself have a 9 year old cocker spaniel who thinks she is a human. I understand all pet owners and their pets have different needs and will respect any rules required to give your pet the care they need. I will treat your dog like my own. My family just returned from Costa Rica. My husband and I are both looking for flexible part time work which allow us to still care for our 1.5 year old son. You can also find my husbands separate rover account under maxi S. At the moment our schedule is open and flexible but as we find work our schedules will be changing depending. We have a good sized yard which is not fenced in but in a quiet neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. I don’t usually crate my dog, but if your dogs are crated I am familiar with crate training. I am a flexible person and am able to modify based on your pets needs.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them never feels like work—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve spent a lot of time with pets and I love getting to know their individual quirks and personalities. Whether it’s a playful pup, an older dog, or a cat, I take the time to connect and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I believe pets deserve our full attention and respect, and that’s exactly how I approach every visit. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m here to make that easy for you. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I do work part time but I’m able plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully available and focused during each visit or walk, and I always allow time for travel, play, and updates to pet parents. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need—no rushing, just quality time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep their pet comfortable and stress-free. I take time to understand feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions so everything stays consistent. I make sure pets feel safe, respected, and loved in their own space—whether that means going for a walk, playing, or simply being a calm presence. At home, I have a dog who I adore. Caring for him daily has taught me how important it is to give pets the attention, structure, and love they need. I make sure he’s well-fed, gets his favorite treats, and always feels included and cared for. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Cleanliness and communication are also important to me. I keep things tidy and will always give updates with photos or notes, so owners know their pet is in good hands.

“Darcy is great with my 2 girls! On nights when I work late it's awesome to get some cute pics during the middle of the day letting me know they got out and had some fresh air. I could tell immediately she was a true dog lover! Very quick to answer any messages I send, checks they have water before she leaves, and always sends me a report of what they did that day as well as multiple pictures ☺ thank you so much Darcy!”
About: Since I was 5, I have always had pet dogs and was independently caring for them since high school. I have had dogs weighing 6 lbs through 90 lbs, including my current dogs, a rescued pit bull, rescued puggle, and rescued Great Pyrenees mix. I have been caring not only for my own dogs but friends and neighbors dogs as well. I am a teacher on summer break and would love to spend my time playing with pups! I am more than willing to go see dogs where they are most comfortable, or I will take them into my house! All of my dogs get along with other dogs, go to doggy daycare and love snuggles and playtime. I have no predetermined views about specific breeds; if they have fur, a tail, and paws I tend to love them! I also have experience taking care of other animals, like cats, rabbits and guinea pigs.
About: Hello everyone, My name is Kristen, I'm an outdoorsy, fitness fanatic with a love and passion for animals! I grew up with lots of dogs, my experience in pet care is from years of caring for my own animals, friends and family's too, as well as volunteering at animal shelters over the years. My husband and I recently decided to start a family, so I decided to focus on animal care full time instead of my busy office job. On the side of watching pups, I am a personal trainer, I would absolutely love taking your dog/dogs on walks, runs, hikes. We have a beautiful house on almost 2 acres of land. I live near multiple parks (and dog parks) and scenic walking/hiking trails. I love animals and I can't wait to care for yours! As long as I have a day of notice, I should be able to accommodate your schedule. I'm an early riser as well, so early drop offs is no problem. I'll have eyes on your pup the whole time, I do not leave dogs alone. The dogs are more than welcome to sleep in my bedroom as well as long as they are behaved enough to do so, they are also welcomed on the couches and all areas of the home

“Very caring, prompt, reliable and friendly”
Tyler R.
“Tyler has always shown a deep compassion towards animals and will be a great hire to take care of your pets. He helped take care of our two childhood golden retrievers, and more recently has helped care for two GSP dogs. Outside of his ability to care for pets, especially dogs, Tyler's compassion is what makes him stand out. When visiting me, he would immediately gravitate towards my husband and mine's two senior cats, providing them with the love they desired. In particular, we had one very shy cat and Tyler immediately picked up on that and simply sat near him until our shy cat was ready to engage. When my husband and I have used Rover for our cat care, our preferred caretakers were those who clearly loved animals and went above and beyond to give our animals love, as opposed to simply stopping by to check food/water and then leave. I am very confident Tyler will be a caretaker who will not only ensure your pets have what they need, but he will provide them with all the love and affection that they want. If you're looking for a true animal lover to trust with the care of your fur-babies, Tyler is a great pick!”
