About: My family and I have had pets ever since I was born. Currently, I have a German Shepard and 3 cats. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and keeping kitties company. I worked with a “puppies and yoga” business where I had to handle 6-10 puppies for 8 hours a day. One of my cats has diabetes and I have been administering insulin for almost a year. I can follow a feeding schedule, am flexible and all ages and sizes are fine with me! I am searching for a side gig to compliment my 30 hour work week at Whole Foods Market. I have my own pet care routine daily at home. Whatever the owner needs, I will take into serious consideration since I know what it is like to love and cherish our pets. I am trustworthy and find importance in keeping things tidy and organized.
“Kelly is wonderful. My pup wasn't feeling well. I really hated leaving her but was so relieved to have Kelly care for her while I was away! Excellent care! Thanks Kellt!”
About: I am a dog lover who will care for your dog either big or small. I have a 10 pound Hienz 57 dog that loves to play with other dogs and is also a great hostess. Your dog will be able to have fun around the house, allowed on furniture, and can play in the fenced in backyard. I will supervise play time in the backyard. This is the perfect place for your dog. Your dog will have my undivided attention. This is a very safe environment for your dog, and I pay special attention to safety. Pictures can be sent to you so you know you do not have to worry about your fur baby. I offer boarding or doggie daycare. My dog Arya will be here. Your dog is allowed on the furniture if you like, but if you don't want them on the furniture I will guide them to stay off of the furniture. Your dog is allowed anywhere in my home. If you have a special needs dog I will follow your instructions and take care of your dog. I have a large deck in the backyard for sunbathing. I have a small fenced in yard for potty breaks. I have a seperate large fenced in back yard if you would like your dog to have access to a larger yard area. I will supervise your dog in the yard. If you want your dog to be walked this is the perfect neighborhood for a dog walk. It's a low traffic, dog loving neighborhood.
About: I’m a calm, gentle, and intuitive animal caregiver with experience ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles, rodents and even farm animals! (This profile only covers "other" animals allowed by Rover, of course.) I’ve always felt a natural connection with animals, and I’m great at interpreting body language, understanding their perspective, and helping shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m walking a dog, checking on a reptile enclosure, or caring for a small herd of farm animals, I bring patience, attention to detail, and a strong focus on safety. I’m observant, reliable, and committed to providing thorough, individualized care for every animal I meet. I currently have flexible availability and offer a fully customizable experience — photos, videos, calls, detailed updates, whatever helps you feel connected and confident while you’re away! I’m also happy to work with budgets when possible, because quality care should be accessible. Animals are truly my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own!! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly rhythm. I structure my days around animal needs, whether that’s morning dog walks, midday check‑ins, or evening visits for cats or other small creatures. I currently have flexible availability, so I’m able to accommodate a wide range of visit times. As my schedule evolves, I’ll continue keeping my calendar updated and prioritizing consistent, reliable care for my regular clients. No matter what my week looks like, caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make space for every day! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my focus is always on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, comfort level, and communication style so I can meet them exactly where they are — whether that means quiet companionship, structured play, or giving them space to warm up at their own pace. For dogs, I follow their usual walking, feeding, and enrichment routines, and I’m attentive to body language, energy levels, and any changes in behavior. I offer walks, drop‑ins, hikes, and even social play dates with my own friendly dog if requested. For cats, I respect their unique boundaries and personalities. I provide gentle, patient care with litter maintenance, feeding, enrichment, and plenty of observation to ensure they feel secure. I’m confident with shy or anxious cats and let them set the tone for each visit. For other pets, I pay close attention to habitat conditions, feeding schedules, lighting/heat requirements, and species‑specific behaviors. I’m experienced with reptiles, small animals, and farm animals, and I take great care to follow detailed instructions and maintain safe, stable environments. Must not be a prohibited species per Rover policies. Across all species, I’m observant, safety‑minded, and detail‑oriented. I provide thorough updates with photos, videos, or calls — whatever helps you feel connected and reassured! My goal is always to offer reliable, compassionate care that keeps your pets comfortable and your home respected while you’re away.
“Really a great experience and grateful that she was able to fill in so last minute. Lord seemed to really like her through watching videos and I like how detailed she is on her visits.”
About: I am caring and love to be around animals. There's nothing better than being around a cute fluffy that cares to just be fed and have fun! I have always been around animals and enjoy them! I will promise to make sure they have fun and are safe! I have a cocker spaniel who loves to play and have fun.. If you need your dog watched for a couple days or just walked and feed, I'll help you out! I am currently working full time but looking to help with any fur babies as their mommy or daddy needs to travel or need some assistance with taking you for a walk, etc. I currently only live in an apartment with my own fur baby who is 14 years old. I am willing to check on your babies and make adjustments as needed!
“She’s amazing! She’s very friendly and very gentle with dogs, she even let me schedule on the last last minute and I’m truly happy I did with her! My dog was very happy and tired after he walked with her, she’s good communicating and overall I would book a service again in the future with her! Thank you so much, Ashley! 🫶🏻”
About: I genuinely love animals so this isn’t even a job for me, I’m just happy to be able to do it! I’ve been caring for family pets and pet sitting since I was a child. I’m very flexible and understanding. I love all breeds, sizes, young, old, hyper, or calm! I can take them to the park, beach, walks whatever you’d like. I’m here to make them happy and give them the care they need while you are away. I currently work a part time job so I have flexibility. I’m available most days, and have availability the days I’m working my other job as long as it is before/after my shift. I treat animals with the respect and care they deserve. Having animals of my own I know how I want them to be treated and care for others pets as my own.
About: I have worked at animal hospital for 6 years to be involved in treatment of dogs and cats after that, worked at veterinary University as researcher for four years. I'm currently working full time on weekdays, but my job is flexible. I am also happy to take care of dogs and cats on weekend and have your pet at our house over weekend. I can have a small dog at our house and take care of any dogs and cats at your house. My house has only one hamster that stay inside the cage, therefore there is no chance for your pet to interfere with other animals. Around our house, there is no busy traffic, therefore we can take dogs a walk safety.
About: With over 15 years of pet care experience, I have a special love for big dogs and older pets who need a little extra patience and TLC.

From 170+ lbs dogs to senior feline care, my experiences ranges as far as my years. I can provide liquid and pill medications, grooming services, and any extra care as needed. I treat every animal like my own — your pet’s comfort and happiness is always my top priority. References are available upon request, so you can feel confident leaving your furry family member in good hands. I am currently open and available for the summer. My job is remote and flexible, so it can work around my petsitting schedule. I can do overnights or come by as needed. I follow owner instructions to a T. No matter what is needed, being a proper guest and caretaker in a client's home is my top priority. I am clean, organized. and diligent everywhere I go. I can provide plant care as needed as well.
“This was our first time using Rover and Beverly exceeded our expectations. Our dog can be a bit unpredictable but she handled him fantastically. We would happily book Beverly again in the future!”
“Kaylee was an excellent dog walker for our beloved senior dog. Kaylee always provided a nice note and picture of our dog after each walk to include letting us know if there were any health concerns during the walk. She was always responsive to messages and pleasant to speak with. We are very grateful to have had Kaylee as a dog walker and our only regret is that we didn't reach out to her sooner.”
“On time, long walk, didn’t rob me or cause any issues. My dog was so happy when I got home (I assume since he had such a fun midday walk with Nathan). Provided pictures and poop updates (so essential). Very happy with Nathan’s services :)”

I had to leave out of town on short notice. I reached out to Alexis and she was very responsive and willing to help. She took amazing care of my dog Zeus, making sure he had everything he needed and walked him perfectly. Definitely recommend booking with Alexis, I will be for sure.
Darlene did an excellent job caring for my dog while I was gone —- she made it extremely easy for me to get out of town even though my digital key did not work for her. So she offered to meet me to get my key, even though it was pouring rain. She sent great updates on every walk and was very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Tamar is the best dog walker out there! She’s a wonderful person and even more wonderful with your pets! Our dog had some health issues and she took great care of her and was very on top of keeping us updated with her care. She also takes the time to keep you updated with notes and pictures of your dog during their walks. She is attentive and will easily become your pet’s new best friend!
