“I’ve been using Kristen for almost 2 months 4 days a week. Kristen is reliable and very flexible with my schedule. She has a nice relationship with my dog and knows how to handle multiple dogs at the same time. Kristen’s uses sound judgment when all the dogs play.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and rodents. I have also watched dogs for friends and family. I stop to pet every dog I come across out in the world, with the owner’s permission of course. I’m always looking to make friends with animals. My dog passed away at 17 in November 2024, so I would love to fill some time with more animals until I’m ready to adopt again. I’m currently self-employed and working part time, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furbabies! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially for the rest of this year. Outside of your home I can take your pup to a local dog park, or take them for nice walks on some local trails, or even around your neighborhood.
“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of our dog and provided peace of mind while our family was on vacation. She was incredibly reliable and thoughtful when it came to our pet, and will be our go to sitter in the future!”
“Samantha helped to drop visit our cats for a week. She was kind and easy to communicate, also was experienced for cat daily care. She even helped us to bring in the packages while we’re away. Appreciate her help and care!”
“Teresa is outstanding. We are very confident when traveling that our cats are shown love and affection, and that their needs are met. It was the little things she did for them/us is why we will continue to utilize Teresa. We highly recommend her.”
“Jessica was great from the beginning. She contacted me immediately after I reached out. Very responsive and communicated well throughout the process. My cats were in great hands! I highly recommend Jessica for any house sitting needs.”
About: I’ve grown up with and rescued dogs for the past 25 years and currently have a high energy Chesapeake/Border Collie mix and 12 yr old chocolate lab. I believe the best behaved and happiest dogs are those who have regular exercise and stimulation. The best part of my day is spending time playing and interacting with dogs!! I deeply respect individual needs and instructions provided by pet owners who entrust me with their pet. I’m happy to provide references and meet with you to ensure you’re comfortable with me as your walker and/or sitter. I am able to go as fast pace or as leisurely as your pup needs! I truly enjoy walking, running, playing and interacting with any breed and size dog. I am flexible with a variety of personalities and behaviors. Please let me know of any behaviors you think I should know so I can make the time with your pet a super positive experience. Medications given orally or otherwise are not a problem, I’m comfortable with medication administration. I've recently left a 30 year professional career to discover "phase 2" of life. Care and training of dogs is where I'd like to spend much of my time alongside gardening, learning and community. I have a flexible schedule to meet your needs for the care and attention of your dog. I walk my dogs to the beach or take them to parks to run everyday. Typically we go out at least 4 times a day for a total of 2 hours or more.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both cats and dogs. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent many years caring for pets in a home environment—growing up with two cats and a sweet family dog who truly felt like part of the family. I’ve always been the go-to person among friends and family for feeding, walking, and spending time with their pets when they’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to look after your furry loved ones—and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, calm companionship, or just someone to play fetch with, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of and treated like my own. I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I’m excited to meet new pets and their people—and I look forward to helping however I can! My schedule is very flexible (usually available at all hours), which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening feeding, I make time for each pet and treat every visit with the attention it deserves. I always treat pets and their homes with the utmost respect. I follow all owner instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and make sure pets feel calm, secure, and loved. I never leave a pet unsupervised outside, and I clean up after them to keep things tidy. My goal is to make the experience stress free for both the pet and the owner.
“Jennifer is amazing! She cared for our two Olde English Bulldogs who are a little apprehensive with new people, but both dogs were ate ease with her right away. Her attention to detail for each dog was great and I got several photos of them during the time she cared for them. I would highly recommend Jennifer to care for your four-legged friends, her love for animals shines through in the care for your own. Thank you, Jennifer!”
About: I love being active and caring for animals. I will be very attentive and provide your dog with lots of exercise, love & joy. I am available during the week and weekends for overnights/walks. I have been taking care of Friend’s Dogs and my own dog for over 20+ years. You will be assured your dog will be tired and in good care with me. I am an abstract artist and would love this opportunity to supplement my income. My schedule is very flexible and would love to put you at ease caring for your pet while away. I have lots of energy and love to spend time outside with your dog. I assure you will be in great hands when you leave your pet home with me!
About: I love cats and dogs, my family has owned many pets my whole life. I have a lot of experience in how to care for them. I recently graduated from college and moved home and I'm currently working a part-time Summer job so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I have two cats at home right now so I cannot board any animals, but I have a car and would love to take yours on walks or at home sitting.

Her last pup was her life - she prioritized her in ways that most of us cannot understand - and her love for animals is unmatched.

Laney L.
“Laney has always had pets in her life that she took responsibility for with pleasure; especially cats(4), but also bunnies(5), ducks from eggs(5), and Guinee pigs(2). She has also provided pet care for several families long and short term (mostly dogs). She is caring, empathetic to their needs, and playful. Pets instinctually recognize her love of animals because she puts their needs before hers.”
