“Stacie was awesome, she took really GREAT care of my kitties. We've only had them 3 months and didn't know what to do. We were so glad to have found someone so caring of animals. Loved the selfies, we would use her again. Thank you so much!!!!”
“Julia was amazing! She was great at communicating and giving me updates. She went above and beyond in every step of the process. Not only that, it was clear that she genuinely cared about my fur babies. I highly recommend her for anything you might need.”
“Michelle was great with our cats. I really appreciated that she always sent an update and pictures when she did drop in visits. Great communication and bery easy to work with. I’ll definitely use her again!”
About: My family has had dogs since I was young. I also pet sit for friends and family while they are away on trips. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am a teacher so I am off during the summers. I do tutor but am happy to work with you to see what times will work best for us and your pets :) I am more than happy to play with your pets inside (and outside if able) your home, crate if necessary and take walks as needed.
“Suzanne took such great care of our pets! She was really communicative and let us know she was concerned about one of our cats not eating (due to missing us.) It was the first time we left our pets in the hands of someone through Rover and Suzanne exceeded our expectations! We are so thankful to her.”
About: Hi! Please call me Em! My first dog was a german shepherd at 10 years old. Since then, I've also lived with a black lab. I currently have a 2 year old weimaraner. I have the most experience working with older/senior dogs and administering oral medicine. I'll ensure your pet is comfortable and has its needs met! I'm currently a college student looking for work over the summer. I have plenty of free time to check in on your pets, play with them, and hang out! As long as I get specific instructions and information about your pets, habits, and behavior, they will be taken care of! I'd love to know as much as I can so I can provide the best care for your pets.

I just recently completed a veterinary assistant program (certificate pending) and also an externship at brighton park animal hospital, and I am now eligible to take the NAVTA exam to become an Approved Veterinary Assistant. I love and have a deep respect for all animals and treat them with as much care I would a child. I am available to work on Mondays to Fridays and the weekends are negotiatiable I just need prep time. Looking for part time work as a vets assistant.(would be working weekends) As of right now im not living by myself so I would be strictly be doing house sitting and nearby walks or drop ins.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, and it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I’m confident handling emergency situations and have de-escalated dog fights calmly and safely. I always approach each pup with patience, love, and attentiveness — making sure they feel safe, respected, and genuinely cherished while you’re away. Dogs deserve to be heard. I’m currently self employed, with a flexible schedule. i’m pretty open to anything. My goal is to eventually make this full time so i can solely dedicate myself. I offer safe, fun, and loving care for any dog—whether we’re out on a walk, playing at home, or spending the night together. I always stay aware of our surroundings and adjust based on any dog’s needs, whether that means avoiding crowded areas, managing leash reactivity, or keeping things calm for seniors and anxious pups. At the same time, I love making things fun—whether it’s a game of hide the toy/treat & seek, fetch, long or short walks, or just some cozy snuggle time. Whether I’m visiting for playtime, going for walks, or staying overnight, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and completely loved in any environment. I connect with animals on a deeper level, so my passion for caring pets is genuine. My dogs are literally my soulmate, we understand each other.
About: I have lived with and taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life. Family and friends have relied on me for years to feed, walk, bathe, and play with their pets. I also have personal experience taking care of and training a puppy. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of availability on weekday afternoons, Fridays, and weekends to take care of your pets! I can walk your dog daily in the late afternoons/evenings on weekdays, and at anytime on Fridays, Saturday’s, and Sundays. I can also pet-sit at your home while you are away.
“We feel so comfortable knowing Erin is looking over the boys, and I think they look forward to seeing her, too. It's hard to leave your pets at home, but it makes it so much easier when we know Erin is spending time with them and looking out for them :)”
About: As an owner of a senior puppy-mill-rescued beagle, I'm familiar with some of the difficulties some pets may face in their day to day lives. Pet solutions aren't just one size fits all- and adapting my care style to fit your pet's goals and personality is my specialty. From high energy play sessions to long naps in the yard, I look to give your pet the best experience I can. I'm currently working part time, but my hours are fairly flexible. I have open availabilities on weekdays, specifically mornings, but if your pet needs a little extra attention, I'm more than happy to make more room! I'm available for dog walking, daily visits, and overnight stays for any pet that may need a friend while their main person is away. With over 3 years of professional pet experience (and many more years of being a dog owner) I believe your furry friends deserve the highest care and attention when their people are away. I have experience in dog walking, medicine distribution, behavior analysis, and animal enrichment and engagement. My experience working in an animal shelter gives me a wide view of the different perspectives and angles that care can show up in.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and taking care of them is second nature. I see Rover as a way to interact & keep them in my life while not having one of my own at home. I already routinely take 1 to 2 walks during my day, so the addition dog walking or sitting fits rights into my daily schedule now. In your home, I am clean, orderly, and can clearly follow all instructions given. You will find your fur baby and your home better off than you left them before
About: I’ve always had a love for animals since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats as if they were my own. Family and friends have entrusted me to care for their pets and I’ve given my full attention to them and their needs from playing with high energy dogs to making sure cats are comfortable and safe depending on their mood. I am currently working full time during weekdays but am available after 5pm. I do get every other Friday off and am off weekends. I am available after work for walks or during my days off. Also, for boarding I am available on Fridays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and no kids in my household. That way your pet has all the space and attention I will give him/her. I will treat them as if they are my own and to make sure they are offered the best service, I will accommodate if needed and ask owners all the preferences their pets have.
About: Since I was little my family always had pets and I would be the most eager to care for them- from our Chihuahua to my Saint Bernard and multiple different breeds in between, I have experience with all size dogs. My love for animals grew stronger every summer where I would stay at my cousins who fostered multiple dogs, horses and goats! I have cared for an epileptic dog including administering injections/giving medications, and helped with a dogs recovery from ACL surgery so I’m no stranger to medical intervention! I currently have an open schedule- any time of day works for me. I love to spend my time doing what I love the most- being around dogs and cats :) I currently don’t have a space where I can host pets by me, but I am open to walking/ letting out/ and watching (over night if needed) at your place of residence.
About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life, giving me deep understanding, patience, and care. I prioritize pets’ comfort, routines, and individual personalities. I won’t hesitate to help with medications, potty clean up, nail clipping, or play time! Weekends work best, but evenings on weekdays are workable! I work part time at a restaurant and love the idea of pet sitting in my spare time! I live in an animal friendly neighborhood and plenty of access to parks and greenery. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have leashes and great walking paths.

Katherine G.
“Katherine (Finn) G takes incredible care of animals. They have watched my cats several times, and always do a stellar ob of caring for them, making sure they are fed, watered, cuddled, and of course, spoiled with treats. Finn not only loves on the animals in their care, they also pay incredibly close attention to the health of the pets and monitor for any changes or problems, which makes me feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies in Finn's capable hands”
Jennifer M.
“One thing about Jennifer is she knows that when she's taking care of a dog, not only is she caring for the animal at hand but also for the owner who isn't present. She's super good at sending the owners updates/pictures of their pups. I know this because I have allowed Jennifer to care for my dog. Never once did I feel like she was leaving me in the dark about my dog and was more than willing to send me pictures without even asking. I feel as though Jennifer tends to each dog in the ways that they need since she realizes that every dog has their love language just like a human would. To have her care for your dog would be like sending your dog to day camp. They will receive lots of attention along with lots of mental stimulation so your dog comes home tired and ready for a nap!”
Claudia C.
“Claudia took care of my 2 month kitten when I was on vacation for 5 months. She even took the time to take my kitten to the vet when he was ill.”
Katelyn H.
“I truly don’t know what I would have done without Katelyn over the past five years. From the moment she started caring for my two Labrador retrievers, she became an essential part of our lives. One of my dogs has epilepsy, and her calm, knowledgeable, and attentive approach made all the difference. She always knew how to respond during seizures, kept meticulous notes, and gave me total peace of mind when I couldn’t be there. When my other Lab underwent ACL surgery, she went above and beyond to support his recovery—helping with everything from post-op mobility to administering medications and ensuring he remained calm and comfortable. Her compassion, reliability, and deep understanding of animals make her truly one of a kind. She has not only cared for my dogs—she has loved them like her own. I would have been lost without her, and I’ll always be grateful for the care, reassurance, and kindness she’s given all of us.”
Eliana M.
“Ellie has helped pet sit my cats and she is an absolutely amazing pet sitter! She truly loves and cares for animals, going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Not only is she great at playtime and cuddles, but she also handles the less glamorous side of pet care—grooming, cleaning after potty time, and any messes—with patience and professionalism. I always feel at ease knowing my pets are in her hands because she treats them like her own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and dedicated, Ellie is the perfect choice!”
