About: Hi everyone! I wanted to get started on Rover because I have experience watching friends, family, and neighbors dogs and I would love to meet some more furry friends! My first job was working at a vets office walking the dogs in the back and since then I have been walking dogs and dog-sitting around my neighborhood. I also grew up with my amazing dog Maddie, so I understand your pets are more then animals they are truly family. I love creating a calm, loving and happy environment for your babies. I can't wait to meet them! I'm currently working part-time so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able go over and take care of them any date, time, or holiday. Dog Walks- Reliable exercise with care and attention. Check Ins- Feeding, playtime, or quick potty breaks I always want to provide a safe and loving environment. I will handle your fur baby with care, love, and intention. I require that I meet your dog before I take care of them. The most important thing is that there is trust between me and your dog.
“As always, Emma and Trent are the best. We’ve been lucky that they’ve been available when we needed someone to care for our girls while we needed to be away for several hours. We added another pup this time and Emma was welcoming to her as well. Dowdy, my granddaughters Chesapeake Bay Retriever can be a little excitable so we had a short meet and greet before we left for the evening. The meet and greet went exceptionally well so we felt very comfortable leaving all three of our furry girls with Emma and Trent. We highly recommend Emma and Trent to anyone needing a sitter for their furry friends. Our girls live them as well!”
About: I've had ample experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. My experience includes working as a vet assistant at a clinic for cats. I also have experience giving medication to pets (one of my own cats requires daily shots). I am in school part time, so I have lots of availability. I can watch your pets overnight on weekends, and at flexible times during the week. I am not able to board any animals at my home, but I can and will make sure that your home environment is a safe and loving place while your pets are in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs (and other animals!) for many years. Family, friends, and co-workers have relied on me to watch and care for their pets whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, even taking them to the vet. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, from senior bull mastiffs to pugs under a year old. There is no dog too big or too small because they’re all perfect to me. I’ve also found lost dogs and helped them return to their owners! I have experience caring for anxious dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, dogs with mobility issues, and dogs that require medication. Other animals I’ve taken care of include: cats, parrots, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Pets are so precious, they’re such an important source of joy in their family’s lives so it’s such a privilege to be trusted with their care!! :) Pet sitting is currently my full time job, so I have lots of time to give your animals the special care and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around in. I also have a car so I’m able to take dogs to the dog park or dog beaches nearby (if that’s something they would enjoy). At a client’s house I still follow any guidance/schedule given to me. In between I typically take the dog’s lead. I’m at their house so it’s important to me that I respect their space (and the clients above all)! I like to take their cues to make sure that their sense of routine isn’t disrupted.
“Kelly is amazing! She was very quick to respond and was able to help us out when our usual sitter cancelled last minute. She took great care of our puppy and provided lots of updates!”
“Jordan took great care of Mona while I was away for several days. Mona can be sensitive to changes in routine, and Jordan was calm, patient, and very attentive in helping her feel comfortable. She was communicative, reliable, and made sure Mona’s routine stayed consistent, which gave me peace of mind while traveling. I appreciated how thoughtful she was in making sure Mona was well cared for and comfortable. Over the course of the visits, Mona became more relaxed and even playful, which really speaks to Jordan’s approach and attentiveness. Jordan is responsible, kind, and clearly cares about the animals she works with. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly book with her again.”

“Sharon has been great with our 2 dogs, one is almost 2 and the other is about 12 weeks. Always lets us know when she arrives and leaves the house, how they were and sends pictures of our babies. She is extremely accommodating and kind hearted, even agreeing to go back and forth to the house twice a day to help with housebreaking the puppy. Would definitely recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Madison enough. She followed all my instructions perfectly and was amazing with providing updates on my cat. I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again.”
About: I have pet sit other dogs prior but the one dog that sticks out is my sister’s black lab. Shakira was a black lab mutt with an auto immune disease. She needed twice daily medication and to be taken out side frequently. I work nights as a custodian for a school district ! So I’m available early to mid mornings for walks or house sitting over the weekends. As I have a cat, my number one priority for him is always making sure the doors are shut. He’s an indoor kitty and I ensure that it stays that way. Always guaranteed to have food and water and a clean litter box.
“It was so great to have Chelsea visit and hang out with our dog Sunny. We appreciated her flexibility to schedule a meet-and-greet and book our drop-in visit all on short notice. She is quick to respond, takes great pictures, and had such a great interaction with my dog when they met. I would definitely book Chelsea again.”

About: Since I was 4 years old we had dogs at home, a boxer mix and a poodle. Later on when I was 15 my mom got a pug, and then another one while my sister got a big pit mix with special needs. And 7 years ago I adopted a dog of my own, a 60lb hound mix, who's the light of my day. I've walked all the dogs in my family, and taken care of them when needed. With my own dog, I do everything for him, from baths, playtime, walks, roadtrips, cuddle and I love him, his medical care is up to date and I always make sure he's happy and healthy. I've also watched over friends dogs and cats, and follow all the rules I've been given, every dog ans cat is different and unique and deserves the same respect and care. I am available weekdays after 5:30pm (except for Tuesdays) Weekends I'm usually available, I can be flexible with my plans. I do update my schedule regularly. I cannot dog sit in my home. But I will love to walk your dog(s) in your neighborhood, take them on a hike, take them on drives, as well as staying over for a few hours. I'll follow your rules with no problem and I'll give my outmust attention, respect and love to your dog(s). Meet and greets would be preferable. As well as letting me know of any health or behavioral concerns your dog(s) might have so I can give individualized care.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kathy is truly amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! We have four dogs, which is definitely a lot to take on, but Kathy handles them all with so much patience, care, and love. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with not only our dogs, but our home as well. She consistently goes above and beyond what we could ever expect from a pet sitter. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about each of our dogs like they are her own. Having four dogs means four different personalities and needs, and Kathy takes the time to make sure every one of them is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. One of the best parts is the peace of mind she gives us when we’re away. We never have to worry about whether the dogs are okay or being taken care of — we know they are in wonderful hands with Kathy. That kind of trust is priceless when it comes to your pets. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, trustworthy, and willing to go the extra mile, Kathy is absolutely the person you want. We cannot recommend her enough! ❤️🐾
Gerri was,great!! She took such excellent care of my dog.I had never left him before and I was,so happy to have found Gerri.. She is so trustworthy kind, and compassionate. I will definitely use her again whenever I need a dog sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs dog sitting . My dog absolutely loved her. She was able to bond immediately with Champ and you could tell how much h she loved dogs and throughly enjoyed Taking care of him. She is absolutely the best!!
Sydney is wonderful with my pups. My little girl pup is a loving, easy going baby but our boy had a rough start in life. He was neglected and abused so he gets a bit nervous with new people. Sydney really read him well and understood him right away. He warmed up to her very quickly because she gives him the time and space he needs to be able to trust. Having someone in our home when we aren’t was another big deal for us and Sydney really is just so trustworthy and respectful. We are so grateful that she comes and loves our pups when we are at work! I highly recommend reaching out to her if you’re looking for a reliable, responsible and trustworthy person to look after your pets!
D’Andre was a big help, came through last minute for me to take care of Rex while I was away for a trip. He was very nice to Rex, attentive and even took care of doggy spill Rex had. Super communicative during the visit and I’m glad I hired him and will hire him more in the future.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
