About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer dependable, attentive care with a calm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walks, administering basic medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with senior animals who need a little extra care and attention. I had my precious doggy (the yellow guy) for over 17 years and held him until his last breath. He was a larger breed and I didn’t expect him to live that long! I also brought my Persian kitty (almost quite literally) back to life after he was badly injured-likely a car accident. He was on a feeding tube for months and I cleaned and dressed his wounds, prepared his liquid food and kept him going when I was 8 years old. He eventually moved out with me to my first house and peacefully passed away on my bed ❤️‍🩹 As a mom, I bring a natural level of responsibility, awareness, and consistency into everything I do. You can trust that your pets—and your home—are in caring, capable hands. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about being reliable and consistent. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, evening, or nighttime visits. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and ensure doors, gates, and pets are always secure. I prioritize calm, attentive care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you’re away.

Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.

Larry is amazing! He quickly established a rapport with my skittish Goldendoodle, and my big dog (96 lbs) is putty in his hands. Larry even put my trash bins away, which is huge considering I'm on crutches. My animals know they can fully trust Larry, and so do I.

About: I have lived in homes with 5+ pets, caring for cats, dogs, and seniors. My soft, patient approach helps anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. Because I’m focused on studying right now, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be consistently available and provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I prioritize frequent check-ins and staying in the same room when possible, ensuring pets feel secure, comfortable, and supported while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free.

About: I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital and have over 2 years of experience in that field. I have administered medication, vaccines, cared for sick animals that require extra attention, and have a vast knowledge of animal welfare. I have been a pet owner since I could walk. I have always cared for dogs from my own family, to relatives, to friends of the family. I helped my dog Lily give birth to her puppies and made sure they were always fed and safe, since Lily was only a year old herself and wasn't sure what to do. I'm able to give baths, I love cuddling and providing plenty of play time, and I will happily give treats to the best boys and girls I care for (that's all of them!) I provide a lot of pictures during my visits because I know how much trust it takes for someone to take care of your baby while you're gone, and I want to provide as much peace of mind as I can that they are being well cared for and loved. I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital, but have temporarily gone part-time to finish my Bachelor's in Animal Science, so I have fairly open availability to care for your baby during the week. I am very flexible and can work with you on providing times for care that work best for you and your fur baby! I have vast experience caring for animals in my own home, as I am also a foster mom for my hospital's rescue from time to time! I have cared for several people's animals in the comfort of their own homes as well! I have moved into a house, so I have a nice, unfenced yard for potty breaks and play time, or we can always go for walks at the park! I provide a lot of pictures during my visits because I know how much trust it takes for someone to take care of your baby while you're gone, and I want to provide as much peace of mind as I can that they are being well cared for and loved.

Anastasiya took our girl Charlotte (5 year old Shepsky) for walks while my wife and I went out of town for 4 days. Charlotte can pull from time to time while walking, Anastasiya handled the walks like a pro. She took excellent care of our pup. She was punctual, affordable, dependable, communicated well and went above and beyond for our girl. She will be who we use anytime we go out of town! Thanks Anastasiya!

About: I’ve been providing loving pet care and dog walking services since 2010, with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My background started in childcare as a nanny, where caring for the family’s pets naturally became part of the role. Over the years, that grew into extensive pet care experience including walks, drop-in visits, in-home care, vet visits, administering medications, basic training reinforcement, and grooming support. Caring for animals is more than just a side job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I love building trust with both pets and their owners, and I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, routine care, or just a reliable person while you’re away, I’m here to help and treat them like family. I had the pleasure of being a stay-at-home mom to my 3 children for the last 12 years. I'm slowly merging back into the working world (part-time for now), but my dream would be to care for pets full-time. Currently, I'm available during the days my children are at school (8:30a.m.- 4p.m.) Monday-Friday. And 2 weekends out of the month, I'm completely available. Please let me know what you're looking for and there's a good chance I can make it happen, even outside these hours. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by adhering to their usual routines, whether that's in my home or yours. I will follow all instructions carefully--feeding schedules, medication needs, potty breaks, walks, etc. In a client's home, I'm very respectful of your space. I keep things clean, stick to agreed-upon areas, and make sure everything is left exactly how I found it. Safety and security for both you and your pet is my priority. I will monitor gates and doors, making sure they are secured as need be. When walking, I stay alert in the environment, monitoring all my surroundings. Your pet(s) will get plenty of TLC, attention, and playtime, taking note of their individual temperament and what it's calling for. Communication is very important to me. I will always send updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they're away.

I would love to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have trained as a marathon runner in the past so I love taking animals for walks or runs. This is my only job so I have open availability 7 days a week for help care for your pet, as well as most hours of the day. Safety is always a priority for me.

About: Hello! My name is Kathleen and I am 23 years old and I do rover full time! I have been in the pet care industry for about 9 years now and would love to have the chance to help you and your fur babies! I currently offer boarding, walking, and daycare. I am pretty much always available so last minute bookings are not an issue at all. I have experience with all breed sizes and ages. My partner is a dog trainer as well so we are used to all types of temperaments and can accommodate dogs for any special treatment they may need (Ex. Not friendly with cats or other dogs). I hope I can help, I love doing this as my job! Since I do rover full time the animals I watch live just like mine! They go out when mine do and have access to the backyard whenever they would like to go out. I usually keep the back door open all day for sunbathing or potty time. I usually have trouble getting dogs in because they love it outside so much! I will follow all instructions given by the owner and treat them like they are my own babies. In my home depending on their temperament they are allowed to roam free and have access to everything my dogs do.
