“Liz took great care of our Lily by walking her around. I was very surprised to hear she did not pull. She came back a happy pup and got to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air and made a new friend.”


“Maria has been great for me and my dogs. She immediately won them over during our meet and greet. She send regular updates and photos which are much appreciated while I’m gone. I can also tell she truly cares by the questions she asks regarding the dogs needs.”


About: I have had a dog my whole life. They truly are man's best friend. Now that I live away from my family's dog, I realize how important dogs are in providing companionship. I would be honored to look after and care for your best friend, aka your dog. I have also be caring for neighbors' dogs since I was 13 years old. I know what it takes to care for and look after your pup. From ensuring correct food portions at dinner time, to giving them time to play outside, to making sure they are comfortable when they go to sleep, I am able to flexibly cater to your and your dog's specific needs. I am responsible, energetic, and prompt. I am currently a researcher at a local university and deal with people all day. They are, more often than not, more difficult to deal with than most dogs! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or inquiries you may have. I can't wait to meet you and your dog! I currently work from home 3 days out of the week, on most weeks. This usually gives me a lot of flexibility to stop by for walks, drop-ins, or other care. I treat each person's home and their pets as I would my own: consideration, respect, and dignity. Safety and wellbeing for your fur babies and residence is my main priority.

About: I grew up in a house full of animals. My spouse and I currently have 3 cats, 2 rats, and a snake, and we look forward to adding a dog to our family soon. I love puppies! (But who doesn’t?) Having already raised two of my own, I have experience working through the potty-training phase and can facilitate basic obedience while you’re away. I have also cared for a variety of less-conventional pets, including birds, turtles, lizards, and rabbits. I’m confident when it comes to pet care and I’m willing to take on any exotic pet! I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to choose a rate that is tailored to both my responsibilities and your budget. I understand that your pets are a part of your family, and I look forward to treating them like a member of my own. As a freelancer, my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m available any day of the week, any time of day. If your puppy needs a potty break at midnight, I’m available. Whether I’m taking your pup for a walk or hanging out in your home for a drop-in, I’m sure to take good care of not only your animals, but your space, too. I’ll send update photos so you can see your best friend, and send you a message to let you know how things are going.

“Heather is the best! She is compassionate and takes the time to get to know you and your pets. She is so wonderful with my older golden. She helps him to his feet and really loves him like her own. I can't say enough great about her. I am so glad to found her!”


About: My parents got our 1st dog when I was only in Kindergarten and we grew up side by side, which is why I love dogs! Consequently, I started pet sitting about 15 years ago when I was still in high school. Taking care of my friends' and neighbors' pets helped me raise money for summer service trips. During college and into my adulthood, I cared for our family dogs as they grew old and more needy. Through the years, I have gotten to know many cute fur babies and I would love to meet yours! **Unfortunately, due to a cat allergy, I am not able to accept cat sitting requests.** I am currently between jobs, so my schedule is generally open. I am plenty available to spend some quality time with your pets while you're away! Please let me know if your dog is afraid of any particular people, animals, or inanimate objects i.e.( men, thunderstorms, vacuums). I will always have your dog leashed as we take walks. If your dog also uses a harness, I am happy to accommodate that as well. Sadly, if you also have cats in your home, I cannot provide you with my services due to a cat allergy. **Unfortunately, due to a cat allergy, I am not able to accept cat sitting requests.**

“Zana is an incredible pet sitter/walker who we’ve used multiple times. Our dog loves when she comes over and she sends many updates and pictures. We look forward to using her in the future.”


“Amazing service and a friendly personality. I reached out to Adriana because I had a last minute cancellation. She was able to accept my request and was in my house in 10 minutes. She had a nice walk with my dog. She provided me with pictures and videos of their walk. Adriana even spent extra time with my dog. I honestly want message anyone else but her. Highly recommended”


About: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!

About: Growing up there has never been a moment where I haven't had at least a pet dog. Since then I've had the pleasure of experiences various different breeds and learning about all that goes into caring for an animal. All of the dogs I've had have been rescues from nearby shelters so being able to create a loving home is extremely important to me. Additionally, with my previous experience of caring for other's dogs, I've been able to work with anxious and high-energy animals in a capacity that puts them first. I'm currently working part time as a lifeguard, however my schedule is quite flexible which allows me to care for your animal on their time. As for me, I live with two dogs and three cats so caring for pets is a regular for me. Due to that, pet care fits regularly into my daily routine, while also allowing me the opportunity to care for other's animals when needed. I've grown up with various animals my whole life ranging from typical childhood pets like hamsters, to cats and dogs. I understand that like every pet parent, each animal is unique in how they wish to be cared for and loved. I'm free to meet prior to any official stay to understand the specifics about your pet. I'm more than comfortable taking animals for walks or playing with them in other areas to get their energy out. Additionally, I aim to take care of your pet the same way I would mine with care and attention to detail.

About: Hi, I’m Lineece and I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I grew up with three dogs—Sheba, Midnight and Beck, and have 12+ years of dog-sitting experience. Beck passed away a few years ago and though I haven’t adopted any more dogs just yet, I decided to start pet-sitting in their memory. I also have experience fostering pups and love to care for all breeds and sizes. I take the time to get to know each one and then cater my care to suit their individual needs. I’m a twin mom by heart and soul, and an entrepreneur by trade. Pet-sitting on Rover allows me to not only spend time around my favorite beings, but it also helps me fund my career—a win-win for everyone! My job ensures that I’m home most of the day except for a few hours 3 to 4 times a week. After connecting with my clients and developing an understanding of their specific needs, I create a care plan that includes a healthy mix of exercise, sleep, play and food. Rest assured your pup is in great, loving hands I currently raise a beautiful set of twins, and work from home doing graphic design and crafting skincare products. I usually create my own schedule. I have a partially fenced yard, and plenty of indoor space. I can crate your fur baby if necessary, and my yard accommodates in ground rigging for roaming around outside, freely but in view.

About: Whether you’re traveling for work or just need a helping hand, I provide trustworthy and loving dog sitting in a safe environment. With reliable communication, updates, and plenty of care, your pup will feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I work part-time from home, and my husband also works from home. We have 3 kids who are in school, and love animals as much as we do - so your pets are guaranteed lots of snuggles! We have a fenced-in yard with one indoor/outdoor car, Molly. We offer lots of yard play time, and walks throughout the pet-friendly neighborhood. Molly is used to other animals being around, but can easily enjoy some time in our finished basement, should they have any issues getting along.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals. I’ve raised everything from newborn puppies and kittens to exotic pets, and I understand how to meet each animal’s unique needs. I hold two bachelor’s degrees—one in Biology and one in Animal Behavior—which have deepened my understanding of pet health, behavior, and care. I also work from home full-time, giving me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. In addition to personal experience, I’ve worked in lab settings where I’ve handled animals professionally, used proper PPE, and administered injections—making me especially comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, like diabetes. Whether your pet needs a walk, a cuddle, a meal, or some special attention, I’m here to help them feel safe and loved while you’re away! Pet care is deeply woven into my daily routine. Working from home full-time allows me to give pets consistent care and attention throughout the day—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just some extra love. I already have several pets of my own, so providing structured, attentive care is second nature to me. While I don’t currently offer pet care in my own home, I’m happy to provide care in my clients’ homes through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I follow each pet’s routine closely to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. With my background in animal behavior and biology, I’m attentive to both physical and emotional needs—whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or simply providing companionship and enrichment. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own.

About: I took care of my neighbors pets all my life. House sitting, sometimes just going over to let them outside. I’m trusted with pet care I work full time but off on most weekends, so I’m free most weekends. Usually off during the week by 3:30 pm. Major holidays I’m off as well I prefer to house sitting dogs at the clients place. That is preferred just because the dogs are already in a good environment at their house. I have two dogs currently and my mom lives at home as well.

About: Hello, my name is Emily. I am the proud owner of three cats and a small dog. I have lived with pets of a variety all my life and have been providing animal care professionally for about 30 years now. Animal sitting to me is much more than just feeding and cleaning up after them. Our animals have feelings and needs just like you and I and every animal is different. Anyone can provide feeding/cleaning service, but I will give your pet the attention and love they need to make your absence just a little more bearable for them. I customize my visits based on each individual animals needs to provide the most enriching experience. Because I am a pet owner, my day starts with a routine of walking my dog and feeding all of my animals. And I have a scheduled routine of walks every 4 hours and feeding twice a day along with play time for the cats. It is not difficult to add additional care into that on the hours in-between. I treat every pet like my own and understand that they all have individual needs that I am dedicated to providing. Once you know what those needs are, you can build routines around them to ensure every pet gets the love and attention it needs.

Maria did a amazing job. I appreciate that she took thr time to get to know me so she could better know my dogs. She followed instructions and communicated very well. Which made be be able to relax while gone. She has great energy around my dogs (3) and she proved she is more than capable of walking multiple dogs at a time. This was my first time using her and I will definitely rebook.

Janelle, Joanna and Gwendolyn walk my mom’s dog every Saturday and Sunday. I love that the three of them team together to ensure one is always available. We LOVE them. My mom has granted them granddaughter status and I love them too. They love our dog, Bela and Bela is so excited when she sees them. I highly encourage anyone who is looking for someone reliable and sweet with both animals and people to consider this wonderful team. I can’t recommend them enough.

I had the pleasure of hiring Heather for daily drop-in visit's and I honestly can't say enough good things. She is incredibly reliable, kind, and truly cares about my dog like he was hers. Maverick gets so excited every time I leave for work and tell him that Heather will coming to see him—it’s clear to me just how much trust and affection has built up between them in such a short time! Communication is excellent, with regular report card updates and fun photos from their outings. It's such a relief knowing someone so responsible is helping care for my fur baby . If you're looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and genuinely passionate about animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Heather!

Laura always takes great care of our boxer, Remi, and he always has a fun time when she comes for a walk with him! She is very communicative, always leaving a very detailed note to say how the walk went and how Remi behaved. She provides lots of great pictures as well! Laura is very responsive and flexible when booking. Remi is always happy to see her!
