About: We are a family of animal lovers. We have a 10-year old Husky mix and an 11-year old long haired cat (but both stay in other parts of the house). Every time we go away we struggle to find trustworthy people to care for our pets and decided we want to help others in need. I work from home and my office is in the petsitting area so I get to spend all day with the pets and take care of anything they need. Our finished basement is sectioned off from the rest of the house and the pets have ample space to play inside, as well as a 1/2 acre fenced-in yard for their exercise!

About: Hi, I’m Erick! I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood and have years of experience walking, sitting, and getting to know pups of all kinds. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I focus on making each one feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve built strong bonds with many dogs through Rover, and you can see some of the pups I’ve cared for on my Instagram page: @TheKairoCup. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or house sitting, I’ll treat your dog like family and give them the attention they deserve. Right now I’m focused on pet care full time. I’ll be starting a school bus driver job soon for the benefits, but I’ll still have plenty of time before, in between, and after shifts to care for pets. Driving a school bus shows the responsibility and patience I bring to the job, and I put that same care into looking after animals. I’ll get on the ground with your dog, ensuring they feel comfortable and engaged. I provide walks at least four times a day, or more if needed, and make sure they’re fed two to three times daily—or as often as you prefer.

“I was extremely satisfied with my experience using Karen to feed my two cats while I was on vacation. She is a very caring person and really connected with my cats. I really appreciated the updates and pictures with every visit. I intend to book her services again.”

“Shalen was a great sitter to our cat. She made sure he was well cared for and happy while we were away. We’d certainly book Shalen again in future. Many thanks!”

“Kathryn was amazing, highly recommend! She was very responsive from the very first message and throughout her care taking of my cat, Violet. She did daily drop ins on my cat over the course of 2 weeks. My cat sitter fell through last minute and Kathryn saved the day! She is great with animals & I trust her completely.”

As a young 25 year old college student pursuing Sociology, I have had the honor of traveling the country, including international travel to Ghana, West Africa. Working with a non-profit organization called Hearts of Fire, since age 12, I have gotten to cultivate, share, and grow in my passion in arts including drama, drums, and meeting new people.

About: Hello, I've had a variety of four leggers (doggos and cats) during my time as a two legger on this Earth. All of them have been cared for from tiny handful through elder years. We're currently down to one doggo right now, and this affords me some opportunity to hulp (as the doggos like to say) with your four legger. Open to walking, sitting, and short home stays. Will to provide more serious walks that include running/jogging for compatible working and herding doggos. We like to say in our house that an exhausted dog is a good dog. I'm an experienced user of Rover also, so I know what is expected for caring for your four legger. I look forward to the opportunity to bring them some happiness. I currently work from home and have a great deal of flexibility during weekdays. I do travel for work on occasion and keep my availability updated. I am available for last minute and emergency care if local. When caring for pets in my own or client's home, I prioritize their well-being and comfort above all else. I ensure a safe and happy environment by providing regular exercise, healthy feeding habits, and plenty of love and attention.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets, I deeply understand our strong bond with our animals. I used to work part-time as a vet assistant, regularly interacting with cats and dogs, strengthening my skills and fueling my passion for animal care. I’m skilled in cleaning and maintaining ears, trimming nails, administering oral medications, and providing other essential care. Your pet deserves the best, and I’m here to offer it with a combination of compassion, expertise, and dedication. I will treat your pets as my own, giving them the attention and care they deserve. I kindly ask not to request me if you know you're never going to reply back, it messes up the scheduling. I am usually available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. If anything arises, I will notify you in advance, though it is rare for anything to come up at the last minute. Also, I take same-day bookings. As someone who truly understands the bond between pets and their owners, I want to assure you that I will care for your pet as if it were my own. My experience caring for my dog has equipped me with the skills, responsibility, and dedication necessary to provide exceptional care for your furry friend. In my home, I always prioritized my dog’s well-being—ensuring his food bowl was filled after our morning walks, providing healthy snacks like Greenies for his dental health, and taking him out for walks three times a day to keep him active and happy. He had a cosy bed, engaging toys, and plenty of affection. I also ensured his health by regularly taking him for vet check-ups and grooming him to keep him looking great. By choosing me to care for your pet, you can trust that they will receive the same level of love, attention, and care. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will be my top priority, and I will provide them with a safe, loving environment in which to thrive.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with two years of hands-on experience working in a private pet sitting business—learning everything from body language and behavior to positive reinforcement training. I specialize in the playful and misunderstood. With a background in healthcare for the elderly, I bring a ton of patience, empathy, and intuition to my work—whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between. I’m passionate about building trust, keeping things fun, and creating a little community through wagging tails and happy purrs. I am available every weekend from Friday evening to Sunday. I am also available weekday evenings @ 6PM or later for drop-ins and walks. House sitting can be any time as long as your fur baby is safe and adjusted to being alone during weekday business hours (9-5). I have my own car and have been driving for nearly a decade. I can no longer have my own pets due to apartment rules, so I’m more dedicated than ever to care for yours. I can make the most of your living space or explore your neighborhood and local parks.
