About: I have taken care of my brothers dog who is 8 years old (Rottweiler/Lab 70lbs) for almost three years now. And once in a while I watch over my sisters dog who is a 2 year old American bulldog. I’ve taught my my brothers Rottweiler how to stay, sit. He is a very needy dog but I’ve learned to be patient. I taught my sister puppy to sit, give me his paw and leave it. Doggies can be so energetic but that’s the fun part. I’m currently working overnights (10pm/6am). And my mornings/ evenings are pretty flexible. The only days I wouldn’t be able to be free is on Tuesdays evening. At my apartment building we have a fenced yard made for pets if needed. Otherwise my apartment is pet free and your pet is safe. I can also watch them at your place if needed.

“Shelby is the perfect mix of friendly and attentive. My kitties were cared for while I was gone and they were happy when I got home. She sent so many pictures and videos which helped me feel so good about being so far away from my furbabies!! House was clean when I got home to a lovely thank you card and little gift. Shelby is awesome. So glad her schedule was open!! <3”

About: My family has had dogs my whole life. A couple years ago, I started professionally dog sitting and I greatly enjoy it. I'm patient, I learn each dog's personality, and I make sure they have a safe fun time. I currently balance different self-scheduled gig work. Having no set or minimum hours, my time is highly flexible. I can schedule to fit your needs. I keep a careful eye on pet behavior and surroundings. For yards, I make sure fencing/gates are secure and keep an eye the dogs. For walking, I ensure leashes, collars are comfortable but very secure and tied to my arm as a back up. I keep a bottle of water. I can walk fast and keep pace but also encourage the dog to not wear themself out.

About: I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including seniors and pups with special needs, and I’m great at reading body language to make sure every pet feels at ease. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just keeping their routine steady, I bring patience, reliability, and a whole lot of heart to every visit. I graduated this May and currently hold a part-time position, so my schedule will be fairly open this summer to give your pup the time and attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their usual routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and positive reinforcement to keep them happy and relaxed. I prioritize clear communication with the pet owner to make sure I’m meeting all their needs and providing the best care possible.

About: I have taken care of different animals growing up dog sitting, and dog walking is what I normally did! I love going on walks with dogs combines my two favorite things, the outdoors and animals! I have two other jobs but don’t work full time, I usually have a couple days off. When I’m off i like to be outside and doing things! I help make the animals feel safe! I know how some animals can be with their parents gone and it can make them feel scared or abandoned. So being there with them and playing with them can help calm that sense of abandonment!

“Easily the best sitter I've had from this app. She communicates well, goes above and beyond, sends so many photos, and is a lovely human. I've booked with three pet sitters in total on Rover and she shines above the rest. I can tell she genuinely enjoys this job and cares about my pets well-being. I'm usually so anxious leaving my cats for long periods of time, but not at all with Maegan. I don't think words can properly express how wonderful she is!”

“Tee-Tee overall is an exceptional at her job. She took good care of our dogs while we were away. We trust her coming into our home for the first time and she did not disappoint. Tee-Tee was not on the scheduled time that we both agreed upon. However she did communicate with me each time she was late to perform her duties. Overall I will definitely use her again because we are pleased with her service. :-)”

“Angie was great with new little puppy! She kept me updated and Nala was worn out when we got home! She was accommodating and welcomed Nala right into her home!”

About: I love animals, and have taken care of pets (dogs & cats) for over 20 years, as both a pet owner and shelter volunteer. I have four dogs, ages 16, 15, 15 & 12. My dogs need extra care and attention, and I do my best to make sure they are happy and feel loved. I’ve also recently adopted two kittens. Over the years, I’ve cared for my family and friend’s pets while they have been out of town. I truly love animals, and believe they are part of the family. I work from home, and am able to build time into my schedule to check in with your pets. I’m willing to be flexible, doing my best to accommodate your schedule and pets needs. I have a fenced-in area in my yard, which is a big hit for my small dogs. I’m happy to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was a little girl. We always had animals in our house & I have been a pet sitter for many years. I have experience with dogs, cats, lizards, fish, & smaller animals like hamsters. I love animals of every kind & having many of my own, I understand how important it is to trust who is taking care of your pets. I am currently working full time but my schedule is very flexible so I am able to move things around to accommodate when it is needed. Having pets of my own, I understand different tasks are needed. My services are walks, feeding, watering, letting outside, cleaning up after pets, baths, and pretty much anything needed!

About: I grew up on a farm in Iowa taking care of a variety of animals and it's turned into a passion very quickly. As an adult aside from my own pets I worked for a dog groomer for 5 years and heald many titles! I was personal assistant/ lead bather/ weekend boarder/ vacation boarder for clients going out of town. In my personal life I also did many rescue and rehomes for mainly cats and dogs. Working with animals has helped me so much to have a better understanding of them and how they communicate their comfort zones. I have worked with the sweetest and most cuddly animals to very aggressive and anxious animals of all sizes and breeds over the years and have only had to turn down services a handful of times while offering an owner safer suggestion that could work for them and their fur children. If you are wanting to work on your dogs social skills with other dogs I've got that covered too! My traveling companion is a 8 year old boarder collie mix named Bunny. She is completely submissive to all sizes and breeds. I've worked with her many times with introductions and she is very patient. 🙂 I am free nights and weekends for walks and boarding. I will be attending school M-F 7 to 3:30 so anytime after this I am available. My personal dog is a senior so she does have a special diet. My background in working with animals I am comfortable giving any medications they might need if scheduled at my time of service. I'm open to following any instructions or rules you would like me to as long as I feel that I have built enough trust with your animal to provide this if you are not present.

About: I have worked in many different aspects of caring for animals, from shelters, to a boarding facility. I also volunteer for an animal shelter. I pet sit for friends often and love to do it!! I am obsessed with animals, ask anybody that knows me!! ☺️ I have at least 8 years experience working with animals. I have also had dogs my whole life, and currently have a sheltie puppy named Rosie. I have mainly worked with large breeds of dogs, but I love all dogs! I also have a passion for cats, and love to analyze their behavior and see why they react versus ‘that was bad.’ Please let me know if you are interested in me helping you and your pets! Thank you!
