About: I've taken care of my late dog Freckles for 14 years. Walks and feedings every day. Played with her as a puppy. I'm available any time except Thursday and Friday nights until 9 pm as I have a scheduled job during that time. I currently work part time and from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggo. I will occasionally go out just for groceries. Food, water, lots of pets, cuddles and playtime. I want to make sure your furry friend is happy and comfy during your absence. Dog walks will be daily.

“Absolutely lovely to work with and very communicative!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the genuine love and lifelong experience I have with animals. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and to me, pets are family. My own dogs are truly like my children, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Growing up, we always had dogs in our home, and having animals as part of the family was something I always wanted to continue in my own life. Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring when leaving your pet with someone else. I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel at home and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home during the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a doggie door, so dogs are able to safely go outside whenever they need to, making it easy for them to stay active and comfortable on their own schedule. Our dogs are truly part of our family, so caring for animals is already built into our everyday life. They have their own routines and habits, especially at bedtime. Every night when we take our son upstairs for bed, our dogs follow right along. One of them is usually waiting by the stairs looking at us like, “Come on, it’s bedtime!” It’s those little moments that show how loved and comfortable they are in our home, and I want every dog staying with us to feel that same sense of comfort and belonging. When pets are in my home, they will be treated like part of the family—just like my own dogs. My priority is always making sure they are safe, comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. I want pets to feel relaxed and at home in our environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand the importance of being respectful of both their home and their pet’s routine. I will follow any instructions carefully to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment while also maintaining the same level of care, attention, and safety. No matter where I am caring for a pet, I believe trust is the most important thing. Animals need to feel safe with the person caring for them, and I always strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet I look after.

About: I had a dog of my own for about 13 years that I have played with, fed, and taken on walks many times. I have also been asked to dog sit from a few neighbors and friends. I have been on Rover for about 2 years now and love taking care of all animals! I am currently attending college so I am home for summer breaks, some weekends, and winter break. I will usually be available anytime you need some help! I will be able to provide care for animals that may need any extra attention or assistance. I have a senior dog of my own so I am experienced with extra care.

About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.

“John met us on his own time to get acquainted to the house and acclimated with the dogs. One of our dogs was very shy but John took the time and care to get her warmed up to him so she could comfortably walk with them. He's been on time every day and willing to work with our schedule even if there are last minute changes. You can tell he is doing this because he really enjoys and cares about the animals. Make sure to book him quick if he's still available!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for the most of my life and genuinely love spending time with animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they are away. I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’ll treat them like family and provide the love and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals.

I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks on most weekends and weekdays, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a clean, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly dogs that enjoy companionship and play. I can also crate your dog if preferred or needed for their routine. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and individual needs to help pets feel relaxed and at home. I’ll care for your pet with patience, love, and the same attention I would give my own animals.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life! Neighbors, friends and family have always trusted me to take great care of there pups! I love all dogs but prefer big dogs!

About: I bring a fun, bubbly personality to every visit—but what truly sets me apart is the way I understand animal behavior. As a psychology major, I’ve trained my own dogs using positive reinforcement and classical conditioning (Pavlov’s principles), focusing on consistency, trust, and communication rather than punishment. Because of this approach, my dogs were well-mannered, confident, and happy: they never chewed household items, had house accidents, or developed anxiety-based behaviors. I believe great pet care is about more than supervision—it’s about guiding behavior with patience, encouragement, and love! I work a couple hours during the day and take care of my two kids (3 and 6) at the house. I often have online classes so there’s always something to do for me at home! My kids miss having our dog, Big Boy, around to pet and snuggle. He was 16 when he passed away.😥 We have a lot of love to give and miss having a dog! I am a non-smoker with a clean house. I have white carpet😂 but have a handy carpet cleaner in case your pet has an accident😜 I also have multiple dog leashes and couplers so can walk three dogs at a time. I have carpeted stairs- which is easier for older pups. I do have large crates if your pup needs to be crated (unless they are potty trained -then that would not be necessary). Dogs are allowed on my couches. I have lots of cozy blankets! It’s a quiet end of street neighborhood. Dogs are all “puppies” to me and I love them!

About: I currently have an 13year old English Bulldog, Roxy! She has always been pretty easy to please, make sure her food and water are full and her bed is available 😃 I have 4grandpups that live in Cincinnati. They know when they get to Grandma's neighborhood, they start getting excited and restless in the car. I also have 2 grand cats. They are two of the most laid back cats I have ever met. I watch them for my daughter when she has to travel.I also have a Bearded Dragon, Jose. He is probably 7years old. I'm looking to blend my free time with my love for dogs and really all animals (I don't do snakes 😬) . I do work during the week so would be able to do more evening and weekend walks, drop-in, etc.. I look forward to meeting you!! I get an hour lunch at my Monday -Thursday job. I have some flexibility to go home and give a potty break. I am pretty flexible with a sleep schedule also. We have a fenced backyard and own our home. I also have a 13 year old English Bulldog, Roxy, that gets along with our 4grandpups.

About: There has never been a time in my life that I can’t remember not having a dog, I have owned many breeds, from a 2lb Pomeranian to a Great Pyrenees, from puppies to seniors I enjoy them all. Hi there! I took a short break from Rover for a few months, but I’m excited to be back and accepting bookings again. I’m now home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I have a fenced backyard and three dogs to help keep your dog company. We have a built in doggie door so your dog will be able to go in and out as they want to, should they choose to use it.

“Jessica is a 5 star. She is great with our dog and super friendly. We will definitely use her again . She is also very responsible and dependable.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up around them my whole life. As a proud pet owner of a Goldendoodle, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring looking after your pets. I genuinely enjoy walking dogs, spending time with them, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I am currently a full-time nursing student, so my schedule can change about every couple of months depending on my classes and clinicals. In my free time, I’m looking to walk dogs and provide pet sitting because I truly enjoy caring for animals. I will always be open and honest about my availability and make sure to communicate clearly so pet owners can feel comfortable and confident leaving their pets in my care. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-in visits, sitting, or overnight stays, I give pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also making sure they are fed, hydrated, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs and will always communicate with owners through updates and photos so they can feel at ease while away.

About: Trusted pet sitter with years of rescue & foster experience. Specializing in cats and small-to-medium dogs—including terriers, labs, retrievers & hounds. As a long-time animal lover, foster, and rescue volunteer, I understand how much your pets mean to you because mine mean the world to me, too. Over the years, I’ve welcomed dogs and cats from all walks of life into my home, offering patience, care, and love while they wait for their families, whether for the weekend or forever. At home, I share life with two wonderful companions: Gus, my gentle Maine Coon mix who became my gardening sidekick after finding me one summer in the Franklin Park neighborhood, and Dennis, my sweet and shy miniature poodle whom I fostered and then adopted. I’ve fostered several dogs this year and have loved and learned from them all. Each has their own story, and together they remind me daily of the joy pets bring into our lives. I’ve cared for many animals over the years, from Jack Russell mixes Daisy and her daughter Pearl, to a big-hearted hound named Andy, to rescued puppy-mill survivors like Dennis. My rescue work includes everything from daily feeding and walks to helping shy or fearful dogs feel safe again. I even keep a carrier in my car just in case I come across a lost animal because I believe in helping wherever I can. I’ve also had unique opportunities, like caring for two cavapoos during a stay in Washington State. Experiences like these deepened my love for one-on-one pet care, especially calm walks, drop-in visits, and creating safe, low-stress environments. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. Between caring for my own pets and fostering through rescue, my days already include walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of cuddles. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit in drop-in visits and walks throughout the day or evening. Weekends are often open for longer visits or extra time with your pets. Because I live with both cats and a small dog, I’m experienced at balancing different needs and personalities, and I always bring that same patience and consistency to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a quick midday walk, a calm evening check-in, or weekend companionship, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and part of my daily rhythm. I care for my own pets — and those in my home — with love, attentiveness, and respect for their unique routines. I follow my housemate’s preferences when caring for her cat, just as I did in my previous home with three beloved dogs, each with their own needs and quirks. I bring that same level of care to every client visit. Whether I'm walking your pup or dropping in to check on your cat, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and happy in your absence. Providing a detailed list of your pet’s routine and preferences helps me deliver the best possible care and gives us both peace of mind. Finally, I’m currently pursuing Red Cross Pet First Aid certification to provide an extra layer of safety and peace of mind for the pets I care for. While I already bring years of foster and rescue experience, I believe in always learning more to give every pet the best possible care.

About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their furry family members! I take great pride in being able to take care of your family's four legged member! I'm currently just doing this as freelance so my schedule is very open. I am willing to stay at your home for extra, if need be. I am willing to come to your house up to 3 times a day, if need be. I am a college student as well, so I have plenty of work to be done online. With that being said, I am okay with hanging out for a little bit!

About: With my eight years of experience, I have cared for mammals as-well as reptiles. I am highly dependable, caring and trustworthy for your pets! I’m currently part-time but typically available a lot throughout the week to spend time with your animals to give them the company they need while you’re busy! A have a large open yard that needs to be leashed in, I have cats of my own friendly and welcoming! Anything they can’t have or isn’t part of their diet will not be in reach or given to.

“Kyla has been wonderful to work with! Our energetic pup has lots of rules after training and Kyla was very open to learning our expectations for him. She already has been perpetuating his training. She has our dog walking right next to her like he does with us. Highly recommend!”
