About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends, I’m excited to expand my services on Rover! I offer reliable drop-in visits and walks you can count on—making sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Working from home allows me to maintain a highly flexible schedule, so I can offer morning, midday, and evening visits, ensuring your pets stay comfortable, cared for, and on their routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure environment during every visit and always send photo updates so you can feel confident and reassured.

“Alex was so wonderful while taking care of our sweet boy Charlie. She took great care of him while we were away for the week. She sent great updates, responded to any questions quickly and so we were able to relax on our vacation knowing he was happy and in great hands. We will definitely be rebooking in the future. Thank you Alex!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal ownership and years of helping friends and family with their pets. I am a dog owner myself, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and individualized care. Over the years, I’ve regularly watched friends’ dogs, providing house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, maintaining schedules, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize clear communication with owners for peace of mind. I’m a part-time student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, playtime, and house sitting, and I prioritize sticking to your pet’s normal routine. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I am a patient and attentive sitter, and will do my absolute best to meet all of your pets' needs while they are in my care. I will treat your furry friends as well as I would treat my own. I love to go on walks and play, and of course I love to snuggle as well! I am currently working part time, and will have plenty of time to feed, walk, and care for your pets! I hope to make them feel as at home as they usually do. I will have fluctuating flexibility, as I am also a part time Certified Nursing Assistant. I will keep my undivided attention on your pets if/when I take the outside. I will make sure to keep a harness/leash on at all times while outside, unless in a fenced in area like the backyard or a dog park. I will keep them reined in close to me while on walks to avoid ay possible altercations with other dogs. I will keep unsafe foods (grapes, chocolate, garlic, etc.) away from the pets.

About: I've had my 18+ year old cat since he was a kitten and have been around cats and kittens for most of my life. We also have a 7 year old mini goldendoodle who we've trained and raised since he was a puppy so I'm pretty accustomed to being around animals. I will also send friendly updates with pictures or videos if wanted :) I was recently laid off from my corporate design job so I am free and flexible to help/watch your furry friend(s)! I'm available for walks, checkins, or pet-sitting throughout the week. I am available to come to your house in order to feed, walk, give medications, clean litter boxes, take outside, etc. I'm also available if you need a stay-in caretaker.

About: Chefs Kiss Care is named after my best boy. The one that taught me so much about training, dogs and myself. I’m a passionate dog trainer with over four years of professional experience at one of the currently top rated and award winning doggie day cares, boarding and training facility! My passion has taken me through professional boarding facilities, where I’ve learned the ins and outs of doggy behavior from playful pups, ones that are a little more on the spicy side, to the more reserved ones. what I truly love is helping them thrive. Every dog I meet is treated like family, showered with love, playtime, and plenty of belly rubs! I will happily collaborate with you to create a perfect care plan including enrichment, walks, play time, brain games ect. I have been successfully training dogs for 11 years with the past 4 being in a professional setting. I’m all about clarity, transparency and open communication. I work full time as a dog trainer but I always make time to train and work my own dogs as well as being able to care for others pets. We can discuss your ideal schedule and figure out together the perfect plan. I’m available most evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, long lines and a couple favorite parks! I will always be transparent with pet parents about expectations with their pets. What I would do with a senior pup is different than a young dog. I’m happy to provide my companionship and love for dogs who would rather snuggle and just be around people or play lots of fetch and do lots of brain games for dogs who need that. Usually it’s a mix between the two, some play, lots of love.

“Stephanie was great and really easy to work with!”

“Debdatta was fantastic during her drop-in visits with our dog, Summer. She took great care of her, making sure she was fed, walked, and given plenty of attention. It was clear from her updates and communication that she genuinely cared about Summer’s well-being. We felt completely at ease knowing Summer was in such good hands. I highly recommend Debdatta to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver, and we will definitely be using her again!”

“Michelle was available short notice for a drop in visit with our new puppy. She was prompt and detailed with her communication. I will book her again.”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, and other reptiles. While I don't have professional pet care experience, I'm the person my friends, family, and neighbors trust whenever they need someone reliable to care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own 💛 I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry (or scaly!) family member, and I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work part time in the service industry and on my days off I love to be outside and mobile! My job starts at 6 am most days so even on days that I work, I end up having a lot of free time that I would love to fill working with animals 💛 Each pet takes time to get to know and gain trust! I am excited to meet your fur baby and take that special time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy.

I listen to your instructions and I will then set a phone schedule for each step that needs to be taken for your dog, but will execute it with vim and vigor!

“Carrie was great. She changed out the battery on the garage door opener when it didn't work on her second visit. And she was clearly worried when she couldn't find our super old cat during a couple of her visits. He was fin. We'll be booking her next time we travel.”

About: I have experience with many breeds, temperaments, needs, and ages. I pride myself on patience and grace in all these categories. In addition to my pet care expierence I also work with those grieving the loss of a companion animal or working through the steps of preparing for euthanasia and after care. I am also Fear Free Certified. I love spending my spare time with animals of all kinds! Right now I have the most availability on weekends and evenings for walks and home stays, but soon I hope to have even more time. I have a soft spot for senior dogs or fur babies with a little more maintenance. I have a dog and a cat at home that my son and husband assist in the care of when I am caring for other families’ pets. While I have a routine and expectations of my own animals, I am very flexible and respectful of how others chose to care for their furry companions and will abide whatever instructions I am given to care for each unique pet. I am a frequent Sniff Spot user and love going on adventures but also find just as much enjoyment staying in and snuggling on the couch with a good book or movie.
