About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I got my first dog at 12 years old, and my love for animals has only grown since then. Friends, family, neighbors, and others have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I recently graduated from college, which gives me a very open and flexible schedule! So I have plenty of availability to care for your pets throughout the week. My schedule can vary slightly depending on the week, but I’m very flexible and always willing to work with pet owners to find times that fit best! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have experience caring for both my own dogs and others’ pets, and I always make sure they are supervised, safe, and well cared for in any environment.

About: I have 15 years of pet care experience. Growing up my grandmother always needed help with her cat and dog, whether it was feeding them or walking Spuds! I have experience in bathing both cats and dogs and I personally give my cats a quarterly wash-down. I am comfortable with administering topical ointments or giving shots if needed. I assisted many times with my local TNR program and have great experience with cats specifically. I am currently a part-time student and working an internship that is based on the EST time zone. So I am up early and ready to go at all hours. I am work from home and my classes are also online so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I will always animal proof homes regardless if it’s mine or not. Pets having access to fresh water is always a must. Caring for pets is a case by case as all of them have their own personalities! If they need quiet, that’s cool or if they’re more rowdy I can get down with that too!

Jamie went above and beyond while we were away for ten days. She watered plants and tended to our new garden with the sprinkler. Plus took such good care of our sweet kitty. As always we truly appreciate Jamie and her care!

Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!

Isabella was wonderful with my dog, Louie! She watched him for an hour each day over two days and made sure he got a nice walk and plenty of love. She was very sweet, attentive, and really helped keep him calm and happy while we were away. We felt very comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a 7 year old shepherd lab mix and a rescue Yorkie mix (age unknown but at least 5 years old). I grew up with dogs and have experience with many breeds and many mixed breeds. I have experience with oral medications and special needs as well. I live on a small hobby farm and own a horse, 2 mischevious goats, a couple kitties and some chickens along with my 2 rescue dogs. I grew up on a farm and have taken care of many farm animals as well as house pets. I am currently working from home and would love an opportunity to meet and help others with their pets while they are away from home.

About: (My boyfriend’s little sister is 11 and heading into middle school, during this summer break she wants to earn some money so I agreed to let her tag along with me and care for pets. She has a huge heart for all kinds of animals and has a golden retriever of her own she loves to take on walks) Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet lover who enjoys working with both dogs and cats equally. I grew up with multiple pets, including having three dogs at once, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also have experience caring for a dog with cancer, including giving medication and providing extra attention and comfort. Because of that, I understand how important patience, gentleness, and trust are when it comes to pet care—especially for animals that may need a little extra support. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, from small to large, as well as puppies and kittens. I truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just relaxing with them. One of my favorite things is seeing their personalities come out, from their funny habits to their curiosity about everything around them. I currently have an orange cat named Poseidon, so I’m very familiar with daily care routines and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m always reliable, attentive, and communicative. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule because I currently do not have a job, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. I am able to give the pet constant attention, regular feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and any additional care they may need. Since my schedule is flexible, I can quickly respond to the pet’s needs and make sure they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I pride myself on creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and comfort levels to make sure they feel secure and at ease at all times. I always follow any specific instructions closely, keep a clean and pet-friendly space, and take extra care with things like doors, leashes, and feeding routines to ensure safety. I approach every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, allowing them to warm up at their own pace and building trust naturally. My goal is to make your pet feel just as comfortable and cared for with me as they do with you.

About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was born! Part of my chores was taking care of them. I love taking dogs on walks and playing at the doggy park! I also love giving dogs the best care I can! I personally try to stay updated on the best ways to care for dogs, instead of sticking to old ways of taking care of them. I have a part time job, I only work Sunday, Monday, and Tuesdays! But, I might have some weeks where my schedule looks different. I don’t mind waking up early or staying out late to take care of your babies! I can crate if your dog needs to be, I can also create enrichment items for them to have some fun! I’ll measure out food, take them outside, or walk them at a certain time. When it comes to pet care, I keep it simple yet fun to have a relaxing time. As well as if there needs to be strict rules, I’ll follow that as well!

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!

We started using rover because we got our new dachshund puppy a few weeks ago. We wanted someone to help us keep up with his training when we both worked. Jade has been such a big help with Murphy’s training! She’s gone above and beyond what we expected of her and we are excited to keep having her help us! She’s great!

About: Hello! I've taken care of dogs since I was 13. I worked in dog boarding and grooming for about a year and I've been a veterinary Technician for around 2 years! I am experienced in walking, feeding, bathing, and giving medications to dogs of all sizes. I am also certified fear free! I'm currently working full time so I would be unable to take any pets out during the day so most of what I can do would be in the morning or evening. I am happy to stay over at your home to take care of any pets as well. I do have 2 week days off a week so I'm free on those days. I have my own yard so my dog has his own area to play and potty. I also have a stand alone house so I don't share a wall with any neighbors so barking is never an issue for me.

About: I've taken care of my late dog Freckles for 14 years. Walks and feedings every day. Played with her as a puppy. I'm available any time except Thursday and Friday nights until 9 pm as I have a scheduled job during that time. I currently work part time and from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggo. I will occasionally go out just for groceries. Food, water, lots of pets, cuddles and playtime. I want to make sure your furry friend is happy and comfy during your absence. Dog walks will be daily.

About: I've cared for animals since I was young, whether petsitting or volunteering. I can take of animals at any age level. I want to be a veterinarian after school so I'm very passionate about taking care of animals. I'm very flexible, I do my own things on my own time and have a bunch of time during the week. So any day at anytime works well for me! I have a fenced backyard as well as many toys. With pets, I do feed them, take them on walks, play with them, and also care for them. Whether that's giving them baths, brushing them, etc.

About: My family always owned pets and I'm the only person that my old roommate trusts to dogsit for them. I love the company of pets. I work fully remote from anywhere with cellular coverage or WiFi and only have rare times when I absolutely have to be in meetings so I have a lot of flexibility to make time for other things. If it's okay with you, I would like to let your pet free to roam around your house just as if you were home. I love petting them and having chats while I'm working. I always set reminders for the meal times and potty breaks you request to make sure they are pampered as much as you want. No sharing of human food, only their approved diest and treats.

Madison did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog Bodhi and my guinea pigs while I was out of town. She updated me on everything while she was there and also noticed that Bodhii had a rash so she gave him a bath. She went above and beyond to care for my pets.
