“Christa was phenomenal! Her communication was excellent and she took time to understand the needs of each pet and how to care for them. She dropped in for an hour visit and made sure my pets received the best care. I would absolutely recommend Christa to anyone.”

“Miranda took care of our cat Tiny Tom during a short trip to Boston. Miranda left very detailed notes and lots of pictures of our boy. She was very responsive and we knew we left him in great hands! We will definitely reach out to Miranda in the future. Thank you!!!”

“Karren was awesome! Was prompt and flexible with scheduling a meet and greet which gave me major peace of mind to see my kitty get comfortable with the space. Took care of my senior kitty like her own - can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve been a devoted cat mama for my whole adult life, and I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re well cared for while you’re away. I promise to give your cats the same loving attention and care that I give to my own! I currently work part-time and have Mondays and Fridays totally free for drop-in visits. I also have some flexibility with my schedule on the other days of the week. I’ll follow your cat’s regular routines and do everything I can to help them feel at ease, whether that’s cuddles and playtime or giving them their space.

About: Extensive animal care experience. Animal science college major, veterinary technician experience for 3 years. Knowledgeable and capable of handling any kind of dog or cat, experience with small pets as well and birds. Compassionate with all animals, patient and understanding of animal behavior. Loves all breeds of dog or cat. I work full time but am free afternoons and evenings and most weekends. I work from home Wednesdays and Fridays so I have more flexibility those days. I am a 35 year old responsible home owner and animal lover looking to provide the right care where needed. I am easy going with a calm personality which is well received by pets. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am always responsive and accessible via my phone. I have a m-f full time job but can care for pets before and/ or after work. The time I go to work and return home has some flexibility. I work from home Wednesday and Friday and have a little more flexibility on those days. I’m available most weekends too. I can accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I am open to house sitting and overnights as well as walks. I’m comfortable providing care for all types of pets. I have a very large crate at my house if a house stay requires the pet be crated. I’m happy to stay at a house if need be to provide care. I have two cats at my house that I would keep separate if I were pet sitting at my own house.

“Magnum was super happy to have a first visit with Laura! He did so well eating and playing. He can be shy so having him comfortable right off the bat made us feel great. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind, from my family dog to my friend’s dogs with special behavioral needs. My family and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and give medication to their dogs and cats. I currently work part time at a dance studio for children that is mainly open during the evenings, allowing me to have a flexible schedule during the day for more walks and playtime. I can walk, feed, play with, and give medications to your fur baby to give them the extra love and attention they want during the day.

“Kira was fabulous! She posted pix of my baby every day and let me know, through the Rover app, when she was visiting my Jerry. She always updated me on how he was doing and what she did during the visit. I couldn’t have asked for more.”

About: Hi! I’m Alexandra, a lifelong animal lover and sitter of dogs🐾 I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pets, so I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I would want someone to give my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines—from playful puppies who need lots of attention and potty breaks to adult dogs who are happiest going for a walk and curling up on the couch afterward. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow your normal feeding schedule, walking routine, training cues, crate routine, medication instructions, or any other preferences that help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I work remotely, so your dog will always have a companion home with them to make sure they are getting all the love and attention they need. I’ve always been the go-to person for my family and friends when they need someone they trust to care for their pets, but my experience goes beyond pet sitting. When I lived in Austin, Texas, I spent about a year fostering dogs and puppies, which gave me hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. That’s actually how I ended up with my dog Cosmo—I was a proud “foster fail” and couldn’t bring myself to let him go! If I had the space, I probably would have adopted every foster dog and cat that came through my home. These days, pet sitting gives me the perfect excuse to spend time with more animals without constantly bringing another one home. 😂 I genuinely love caring for pets and treat every animal like they’re one of my own. As a pet parent myself, I also know how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone new. I’m very communicative and will happily send plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. 📸💕 Outside of pet sitting, I work professionally as a program and events coordinator, so being organized, dependable, communicative, and attentive to details is a huge part of my everyday life. In my free time, I love spending time with my dogs, baking, doing crafts and nails, traveling, building LEGO sets, and relaxing at home. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and completely spoiled. 🐶💗 I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine since I have two dogs of my own. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, training, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m also very much a homebody, so when I’m not working or running an occasional errand, I’m usually at home with my pets. Adding another furry guest into my routine comes very naturally to me, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule around their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. 🐾💕 I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate routines, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences. I know every pet has their own personality, so I adjust my care depending on whether they love constant attention and cuddles or prefer a little more space and independence. When pets stay in my home, safety is my biggest priority. I have dogs of my own, but I always keep my pets separated from my guests’ pets rather than assuming unfamiliar animals will get along. This allows every pet to have their own comfortable, safe space and gives owners peace of mind. My apartment complex also has a dog park, so if you are comfortable with your dog using it, I’m happy to take them there for some extra exercise and playtime. If dog parks aren’t your preference, that’s completely fine too! I’m more than happy to take them on long walks and strolls around my complex or visit nearby parks instead. I’ll always follow whatever you feel is safest and most appropriate for your dog. I’m very attentive and spend plenty of time checking in, playing, walking, cuddling, and making sure pets are comfortable throughout their stay. I also send regular photos and updates because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away. 🐾💕

About: As an outdoorsy animal lover with years of experience, I am able to keep up with high energy and dogs of all sizes! I love to spend my free time with my 6 yr old German Shepherd by going on walks, hikes, and all kinds of adventures. I am currently on summer break from college with little to no commitment, so I have a very open schedule. I am open for mornings, afternoons, and evenings during weekdays and most weekends. I have large fenced-in backyard and a separate fenced-in play area intended for running laps with my dog. My German Shepherd is very friendly and loves to play with others.

About: I have one year of experience caring for my aunt’s Husky, along with eight years of experience owning my cat Yogi. Caring for pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of making animals feel safe and comfortable. I will follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I plan my schedule to make time for pet care. I’m available on Mondays after class, Thursdays after 3:00PM, and Saturday mornings. I’ll make sure to communicate clearly with pet owners and provide reliable care during agreed-upon times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are important to me. I will follow your care instructions, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and make sure they have fresh water, food, attention, and a comfortable environment. I’ll respect your home, communicate updates, and contact you if I notice anything unusual.

About: Hi, my name is James and I am an active and energetic animal lover that has had dogs and cats my entire life. In addition to my own pets, my wife and I have fostered with local dog and cat rescues for the past 10 years. My love for animals doesn't stop there, I have worked in the zoological industry for the past 20 years. My first 15 years as a zookeeper and the last 5 as a zoo curator. If you have domestic farm animals or exotics of any kind, I am very comfortable caring for them. I have experience administering medications and specialized diets, as well as, giving injections as needed. If you are looking for someone with a wealth of experience in caring for animals, please reach out. I am working full time, but am still able to overnight, if needed. Otherwise, I am available for any morning and evening care that is wanted. I'd prefer not to take care of any pets in my home for the time being due to the fact that we have several fosters, as well as our own pets.

“Alex was very responsive and reliable. He communicated when he got there and how the visit went.”

About: My love for animals has been a defining part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started my pet-care journey at just 10 years old, looking after my neighbors' dogs and building a foundation of trust within my local community. Over the years, that childhood passion evolved into professional expertise. For the past four years, I have worked as a seasonal dog handler at my local animal inn. This professional background has equipped me to handle everything from standard pet sitting to complex canine behaviors and specialized medical needs. A core part of my training includes an extensive understanding of canine body language. I am highly skilled at reading subtle signs of stress, fear, or discomfort, allowing me to intervene before a dog becomes overly anxious or potentially aggressive. I use this knowledge every single day to ensure that walks and play sessions remain entirely safe and low-stress. I am incredibly comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and strengths. I have hands-on experience utilizing a variety of specialized walking gear safely and correctly, including martingale collars, gentle leaders, and various types of harnesses. Whether your dog is a puller or needs a specific setup for safety, I know how to manage them on a leash. I have worked with an incredibly diverse range of breeds, from tiny pugs to giant Irish wolfhounds. Through my professional training, I have successfully managed and de-escalated challenging behaviors, including: - Food aggression and resource guarding - Fence fighting and dog-to-dog aggression - People-selective behaviors and high-anxiety pets Beyond behavioral management, I am highly experienced in handling special medical accommodations. I have safely cared for dogs managing a variety of health issues, including blindness, severe arthritis, infectious illnesses, and pets requiring strict medication schedules. I am also completely unfazed by the less-glamorous parts of pet care. I am always prompt, thorough, and sanitary when it comes to cleaning up vomit, poop, or any unexpected accidents inside the house. Additionally, I have extensive experience doing in-home drop-ins and overnights through a professional service similar to Rover. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect. You can look forward to meticulous attention to detail: I always ensure the home is left exactly as I entered it, and I have a strict double-check protocol to ensure all doors and entryways are completely locked and secured before I leave. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, strict behavior management, gentle senior care, or just a safe and secure environment while you are away, I am dedicated to providing the highest standard of professional care! I'm currently working as a lab technician from Monday to Wednesday, so I'll be able to take care of your pet after 5:30 pm! From Thursday to Saturday, I work a part-time job, so my hours can vary! However, I can be flexible, and as long as I'm notified in advance, I can figure out accommodations to take care of your pet! My Sundays are always free to take care of your fur baby. I like to make sure the pet is as comfortable as they can be, and I'm good at following directions. If you are currently crate training or getting personal training for your animal, I will ensure that I'm following your directions to ensure that your pet's training is reinforced. I always ensure that your house is properly secured when entering and exiting the home.

“Great meet and greet and excited to have someone available for pet sitting when we go out of time.”

Brian P.

“Outstanding sitter and communicator!”
