Devinder is great with my dog. He takes the time to connect with Baloo and gives him the mid-day attention and care needed while I'm at work. Devinder is very reliable and is very good at communicating. I would highly recommend!

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on professional experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I previously worked at a kennel-free dog boarding facility, where I helped care for multiple dogs at once in a safe, supervised environment. I’ve also worked as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, providing daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, and lots of attention and playtime. Animals have always been part of my life—I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently care for my own pets as well. Because of my background in both professional animal care and customer service, I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. What you can expect when your pet is with me: • Reliable, on-time care • Regular photo and text updates • Safe handling for dogs with different temperaments • Experience with multi-dog households • Lots of attention, enrichment, and play Whether your dog needs a walk while you’re at work, drop-in visits while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid office jobs with very flexible hours. When I do go into the office, my office is dog friendly so I can bring a furry friend along if they enjoy the socialization! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and enrichment they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just companionship. I also make sure basics like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and litter boxes are taken care of. For dog walks, I focus on safe handling, appropriate exercise for your dog’s energy level, and making sure they return home happy and settled. I always send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while keeping you informed and at ease.

About: I am a musician, property manager, & ex-software dev who enjoys taking care of animals. One of my favorite experiences was caring for a small farm (dogs, cats, horses, and chickens!) in Kentucky. I love taking dogs on walks around town & to explore the river! I am committed to consistent and clear communication; I place a high value on the professional relationship between house-sitter and host. I love sending daily updates as requested. I don't work during the day, so I can accommodate feedings, med delivery, walks, and playtime all day long! I try to structure my day around the client's schedule, so that the animals don't experience a disruption in their normal routine. I love doing overnight sits for pets in the environment they are most comfortable in — their own home. I find it easy to adapt to a pet’s schedule and routine and I love exploring new places around town via walks!

Emily was absolutely amazing! She was great at communicating, and even helped out with some Doug chores after a chaotic morning for my boyfriend and me! As a first time Rover-user, Emily made me feel at ease with all of the pictures she shared of Doug! Doug absolutely LOVED his walks and would be passed out whenever I got home. Whenever we need a dog walker, Emily will definitely be top of our list!

About: I have over eight years of hands on pet care experience, including caring for a diabetic dog requiring consistent monitoring and medication management. I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs, as well as cats and other household pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a dog of my own. I’m available for regular walks, check ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day, with extra time on weekends for long walks, dog parks, and outdoor play. Whether in my home or a client’s home, the pet’s safety, comfort, and well being always come first. I follow their routine closely, maintain a clean environment, provide attentive supervision, and ensure they feel secure and cared for at all times.

About: From pint-sized 5lb Yorkies with fabulous hair to giant 130lb Goldens with a fluffy tail. I’ve loved and cared for them all! I adapt to every pup’s vibe: ready to hit the trail for a run, wander the park for a sniff-filled stroll, or curl up under a cozy blanket for cuddle time. As a true outdoors lover, I’m happiest when tails are wagging, noses are twitching, and pups feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work from home MWF and off on the weekends , so your dog will have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband and I are active and love going on walks, exploring parks, and enjoying outdoor adventures. Perfect opportunities for your pup to join in on the fun. Whether it’s morning playtime, mid-day potty breaks, or evening strolls, we make sure pets are engaged, exercised, and happy. Of course, we also love cozy downtime, so there’s always space for blanket cuddles and belly rubs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, with a balance of activity, companionship, and comfort. In your home, we stick to all your guidelines and expectations, making sure everything stays secure and exactly as we found it. At our house, we ask that pups are potty trained since we have carpet upstairs, but don’t worry, I work from home, so your dog can enjoy frequent trips to our fenced backyard for playtime, potty breaks, or fresh-air fun. Whether at your home or ours, your pup will get lots of love, attention, and wag-worthy adventures!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I have a senior dog of my own who is my whole world! I’m used to providing special services such as medication administration. I pride myself on treating every pet as if they were my own, and enjoy every second I get to spend with them! I am a nurse, so I normally only work 3 days a week and am free to walk and care for your pet on my days off! I take your dogs safety seriously when on walks, always keep them leashed, and avoid other animals while on walks just for safety! I am familiar with reactive dogs, and give plenty of space for your dog to feel safe and comfortable while walking!

About: I've always loved dogs of all shapes and sizes. I ask to pet every one I see and ache when its a service dog that I have to ignore. I'm often asked to help train puppies, teaching them bite inhibition, socializing them, and keeping up with their clockwork schedule of energy and naps. I've once been bitten by a dog (just a nip, really) and I apologized to it because I was the one who spooked it on accident! The amount of patience and love I have for these animals is endless. I've worked with dogs of all kinds! Anxious, lazy, energetic, you name it. I will care for a dog of any shape or size and make sure they are happy and feel safe. I work very part time, so my schedule is very flexible. Bouncing around taking care of dogs is basically a hobby for me more than anything. I adapt to a dogs needs and personality. Overall, I want any pet I care for to feel comfortable and I want to make sure the pet is cared for the way its owners prefer.

About: My love for animals began when I was around 5. In the past I've had my own pets such as cats, dogs, rats and squirrels and I've worked with small animals, live stock, cats, dogs and reptiles. I am very adaptable with any animals needs and can handle anxious pets with grace. Giving out medications is not an issue for me as I've done it in the past. I am currently self employed so my availability is flexible. My partner and I have a cleaning and pet care business called Hygeia and Artemis, if you're interested in having your home cleaned during a sit we can discuss in person. It's always nice to come home to a clean home and happy animal companions. Boarding at my house is very rare, please inquire with questions. I am self employed and my schedule is flexible I always make time to dedicate to caring for pets, walking, overnights etc. Animals are one of my greatest loves and this job feeds my soul. I both understand elderly animals as well as puppies and everything in between! My goal is always to fulfill the needs of the animal and respect my clients requests. In your home I always respect the space by keeping it clean and caring for your animals needs by following a care guide so I can understand your pets needs and routines as that can help with any anxiety your pet may have.

About: Hi! My name is Mary and I love working with cats and dogs! I have had two dogs and I currently have two cats so I know how to handle each pet. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs. I am part time working so I am flexible with hours. Growing up I have always had some type of pet so I am very used to being around with animals and taking care of them. I know how to clean a litter box, feed dogs/cats, etc. I am looking to dog/cat sit so I can make some extra money, and I am very flexible with schedules. I am very responsible and am good at taking care of things/pets. I prefer dogs who do not pull when walking. I am part time working so I am very flexible! I can do middle of the day if that is what a pet parents needs! I make my pets feel super special. Since I live in the city I have a harness for my cat and I take her out once a day!

About: As a child, I had a small dog named Nike! She was the cutest little Shih Tzu. Having her at a young age taught me responsibility first and foremost, but it also taught me how to appreciate and be patient with animals. I have fond memories of walking her around the neighborhood, being sure she had food and plenty of water in her bowls, and running around with her outside! She also got ENDLESS cuddle time. She was my first best friend, and although she’s not here with me in my adult years, I’ve come to love and value ALL animals, from playful cats, to everyday animals like squirrels and birds, lol. I’m a college student, graduating in the fall next year, and I have many breaks where I’m home. When home, I am fully available everyday, anytime to care for pets! I follow instructions EXACTLY as they’re given to me. Special instructions? No problem! Dinner time at 6? Done and done. I’ll be sure your fur baby has plenty of play time and cuddles as well! Rest assured knowing they’re in good hands!
