About: Growing up with dogs in and around the family, I am no stranger to caring for them. From dog sitting to daily walks to simple check ins, I’ve done the lot. I truly enjoy treating every dog with the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working in a flexible, part time capacity, so I’ll have plenty of time to walk and play with the pups as needed! I always make sure to be respectful and courteous of the clients home. Don’t touch unless express consent is given, and leave things as I found them!

“Jessica took great care of our cats while we were away for a long weekend. She was very professional and reliable, and the kitties enjoyed her company — even the timid one! Thanks again!”

“Riley was just who we needed to watch our cat Kelly for a few weeks while we were away! She was tentative and always gave us updates on how things were going. We will definitely use Riley again for when other sitter needs come up :)”

“Patrick is meticulous. He went above and beyond and loved taking care of my cat Snickers! Her coat was so clean too as he brushed her. He gave her her insulin shots and left my place clean as a whistle! He certainly loves pet sitting! I highly recommend him.”

About: I am a kind and caring person to all animals. I’ve housesat and taken care of neighbors dogs and cats when they were away. I have experience with heat-sensitive pets so I have experience gauging pets’ comfort level in relation to outside weather. I'm free mostly anytime, I’m extremely responsible and will take careful and loving care of all animals that I take care of through rover. I’ve always loved animals and rover is a great opportunity to earn money while having fun. Dogs would get my undivided attention during walks and other services. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I truly love animals and I have time to give them the care they need. Thank you for the consideration! I currently work remote so I am flexible in regards to when a pet needs care at any time. I also have availability on the weekends. I have ample space for pets to enjoy and run around. I live in a friendly neighborhood with minimal car traffic for walks. Open backyard as well.

About: I'm an animal lover and have grown up with all types of animals. I have been trusted taking care of neighbors, friends, and families pets for many years. My sister is a veterinarian so I often get the pet questions. I will go above and beyond for your pet. I work from home Monday and Tuesday so I am free to go for walks and drop by your house most of the time these days. I am in the office Wednesday through Friday and will have less time but still available. Weekends are free unless I'm away. I live on an acre of land. It is not a fully fenced yard but it is set back in a small, quiet neighborhood on a dead end road. I have an indoor cat.

About: Hi there — I’m a dedicated, experienced pet sitter with 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to our pets—every dog has their own routines, quirks, comfort levels, and needs, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes your pup feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful, shy and cautious, older and in need of a slower pace, or has specific behavioral or medical needs, communication is everything. Please share any concerns, routines, triggers, fears, or special requests ahead of time—we’ll work together to make their stay as stress-free and personalized as possible. My home offers a large yard for supervised outdoor time, plenty of love, structure, and attention. I’m also a mom to two amazing kids (ages 5 and 7) who have been raised around animals and are very respectful of pet boundaries, body language, and personal space. For overnight stays, I do recommend bringing your dog’s crate if they’re crate-trained or may need a familiar, secure space for bedtime or decompression. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for—while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I can do overnights Wednesday Thursday and Fridays! Just reach out to me, schedule updated weekly for other services - overnights stay the same. Thanks! Your pet - your rules! I can play, snuggle, walk, feed, bathe your pet. I can crate your pet if requested. What you say goes!

“Great communication and care as always!”

About: Pets (and their people!) can sense my reliability, warmth, and attention to detail right away. I think it's because I'm a natural "pet magnet" - peaceful & present with animals of all kinds. I never cut corners when it comes to pet care or comfort. Whether it's extra snuggles, sticking to a precise routine, or noticing small changes in behavior, I bring a watchful eye and a caring heart to every visit. At home, I have hands-on experience with a variety of dogs. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, from toy breeds to large companions. I’ve also cared for cats, fish, and birds for years, so you can call on me for a wide range of companion animal needs. The safety, happiness, and well-being of your pets are my top priorities. I am ever-mindful of how much they mean to you, and that informs the care I provide. I have lots of flexibility with scheduling at this time. Just as long as another owner hasn't booked me already, I am available seven days a week. I will follow your instructions for how you keep your pets in your home. Feeding routines, potty routines, play-time and walks, whether or not they're allowed on furniture - you call the shots!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was very young, always having family pets. I’m patient and enjoy having a furry companion at my side. I’m trustworthy and ready to help you with your pet care needs. I’m semi-retired and am available for playtime, walks or overnights. My routine is generally flexible making me available throughout the day or evenings as needed. I will give your pet my undivided attention and follow your instructions to the letter. I want both you and your pet to know I can be counted on for safety and peace of mind. I’ll also give your fur baby plenty of love and attention.

About: Hi there! I’m Enzo, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets—dogs (from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors), cats, farm animals, and even reptiles. I love making sure every animal gets the attention and care they deserve! I’m also the proud owner of my dog, Vito! We stay active with hikes, mountain biking, training sessions, and plenty of other outdoor adventures. If your dog loves exploring, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation! I also offer leash training as a service, so pups can have fun while learning good habits. And if your pet prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy providing calm walks and relaxed companionship. Whether it’s a walk through the neighborhood, an adventure in the woods, or a home visit, your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities! I take the time to earn their trust and always treat them with respect, so they feel comfortable, confident, and cared for while you’re away! I can be very flexible and accommodating for your pets needs, whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or midday walks. Let me know your pet's routine and I'll be happy to accommodate! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I create a loving, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel safe and cared for. I’ll take the time to earn their trust, respect their personality, and make sure every walk or visit is fun, relaxing, and stress-free!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my French Bulldog, Buoy. Being his owner has given me hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and all the little details that keep dogs happy, healthy, and comfortable. In addition to caring for my own pup, work as a babysitter, and many of the families I work with have both dogs and cats. I regularly help care for their pets as part of my time with them—whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company while their owners are away. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m very comfortable balancing both child and pet care in a calm, attentive way. I’ve also spent a lot of time helping family members with their dogs, including energetic Labs and a sweet Dachshund, so I’m familiar with a range of sizes, temperaments, and exercise needs. I’m reliable, patient, and tuned into each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, slow sniff-filled strolls, or just a little extra attention—or your cat prefers a calm, gentle approach—I’m here to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. I work as a teacher, so am primarily looking to find pet care jobs on the weekends, but would potentially have availability during the weekday evenings if needed. I like to take the time to really get to know each animal and understand their personality, routine, and comfort level. Every pet is different, and I want them to feel safe and relaxed with me from the start. I prefer to schedule a meet and greet with both the pet and owner before beginning any drop-in visits or walks. This gives me a chance to learn their routine, go over any specific needs or preferences, and make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. It also helps your pet feel more comfortable since we’ve already met in a familiar environment.
