Max is fantastic! Great communication and observant of Nox’s needs. He overheats quickly and Max was considerate to ask if he is ok or if he should end the walk early. Much appreciated will book again 😁

About: While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and helping with family animals, including feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care. Love nothing more! I’m working part time, so I have plenty of time to be with the pups! Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday are my most available days! No times are an issue with me! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, food, exercise, attention, and a safe environment at all times. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, energy levels, and surroundings to keep them safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of each owner’s instructions and home, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I’ve become the go-to person among my friends for pets that need extra care or have specific routines. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s normal schedule. As a dog owner myself, I truly empathize with how it feels to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I prioritize clear, thoughtful communication—keeping you updated and reassured, while also giving you peace of mind to enjoy your time away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available during weekday and weekend afternoons, and I truly enjoy being around dogs. 😊 I’m very mindful and respectful of a dog’s home environment and personal space. I take my time building trust and focus on creating a calm, safe presence so they feel comfortable and secure.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of dogs, including seniors, high-energy breeds, rescue dogs, and pets that require extra patients or special attention. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Safety is always my top priority, whether we are going on walks, spending time, outdoors, or relaxing at home. I’m attentive to details, reliable schedules, and committed to providing loving, dependable care. I’m especially good with anxious or rescue dogs who may need a calmer, reassuring presence. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I treat every animal as if they were my own; with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply quiet, companionship, I’m happy to provide the care attention that helps them feel happy and secure. I know pets are family, and I’ll care for yours with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I am currently a college student, with my classes being fully remote, so I have no restrictive schedule for pet care. My assignments are completed from home, so I do not have a travel period. Currently, I am not offering pet care from my home, as I have two dogs already living there. When it comes to my client’s home, I ensure all entrances and exists are secure as to prevent pets from leaving. I keep easily accessible spaces clean from items the pets may try to come in contact with. I am more than happy to accommodate for my clients with specialities they require for their pets.

Meghan is the absolute best caring human for us and our skittish dog. She goes the extra mile to put the dog at ease and always shows added compassion. We are so very grateful to her, to the person she is, and for being the best possible caregiver to our shy dog. We found an angel. Thanks for all that you do for putting our hearts and minds at ease. You are so appreciated. Sheena is so glad to have you in her life and so are we.

Keith is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. He’s kind, patient, confident and calm. I have two young dogs and they both instantly loved him. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my young puppy with him for a walk. I knew she would not only be safe, but have a fun and enriching experience. Highly recommend!

Nicholas was terrific! Prompt, friendly and reliable. I had Nicholas walk my dog every morning for a week just after I had back surgery. My dog took to him right away and got so excited to see him every morning. Nicholas took different waking routes but preferred taking my dog to the field which he most enjoyed. Great guy. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I’ve been dog and cat sitting for over 10 years for wonderful families in my community. I recently joined Rover to connect with more pet parents and expand my pet care services. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s long walks, playing fetch, sticking to feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so if I board your pet, I’ll be home with them throughout the day, giving them plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I work from home so if I'm boarding your pet I will be with them all day giving them lots of walks and attention throughout the day. I care for pets as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, and lots of exercise through walks and playtime. I work from home, so I’m able to be with them throughout the day, provide timely meals, potty breaks, and make sure they feel comfortable and settled.

About: I provide calm, high-quality pet care for dogs and cats who deserve thoughtful, attentive companionship while you’re away. With over a decade of experience caring for senior, medically sensitive, and young animals, I approach each pet with patience, structure, and emotional awareness. I grew up with two dogs and now share my home with three cats, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I am deeply committed to giving them abundant love, attention, and a safe, nurturing environment — and I extend that same care to every pet I look after. I have hands-on experience supporting senior cats with complex health needs, including kidney care, digestive sensitivities, medication routines, and careful monitoring of appetite, hydration, and litter habits. I understand how essential consistency and routine are for older pets and those managing chronic conditions. I am comfortable administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions with precision, gentleness, and reliability — ensuring your pet’s routine remains stable, calm, and stress-free in your absence. I’m currently enrolled in a master’s program with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets in my care. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their established routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. I follow detailed feeding schedules, provide fresh water, structured walks or playtime, and keep litter or potty areas clean and well-maintained. I pay close attention to appetite, hydration, energy levels, and behavior to catch any subtle changes early. For pets with medical needs, I carefully follow all medication instructions and monitor them closely. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment so your pet experiences as little stress as possible while you’re away.

First time meeting Petey. She is great! He was a little reluctant to walk, he barked at first. Food motivated so a little treat at introduction and now he knows who she is, and it was a really good first time walk. 👍🏼😊

We couldn’t be happier with Katie! She’s been absolutely wonderful with our large (and sometimes stubborn) golden retriever. Not only does she take him on walks, but she also stays to play with him afterward, which he loves. Katie is reliable, kind, and great with big dogs. Highly recommend!!!
