About: I have many years of experience taking care of dogs, both my own and others. I enjoy spending time with them in different ways- walking, hiking, or just hanging out at home, and I can be flexible to you and their needs and preferences. For many years, I owned a reactive dog with high vulnerability and sensitive needs, which taught me how to be vigilant, patient, and understanding. I am currently working on training my own 2.5 year old big energy dog, and I am strengthening my skills and learning to apply my knowledge in different ways. I understand and value the importance of understanding your environment and preferences for your pet and would be eager to help! I currently work fully-remote and have full control over my schedule of appointments. I am free on weekends with few limitations. My daily schedule for walks and play time can accommodate your preferences. I enjoy neighborhood, park, or forest walks, and I don’t mind the weather. In the home, I use Toys and other enrichment activities to keep your pets brain going. I try to keep your dogs interested and occupied- a tired dog is a happy dog! I also LOVE doggy cuddles and movie time in the case of overnight sitting.

About: I’ve been taking care of all different types of animals from lizards to ferrets to turtles and, of course cats and dogs since before I can remember! All of my life I’ve had and taken care of happy and healthy fur babies of my own that I treat with the utmost love, care, and attention so I’ll definitely treat your fur baby like my own as they should be treated. I’m currently a stay at home mom and I go to school online but outside of that I love taking care of my fur babies and other fur babies as well and have free time and availability to do so! My routine consists of starting the day at 7/8am and taking pup for walks, swimming, the dog park etc. and if you choose me for your pet sitter your baby (unless different needs must be met) will accompany us for a fun-filled day!🥰 I can do all day sits or overnight stays at your home. Or if you prefer me to do drop-ins to your home id be more than happy too! Whatever makes you and your precious fur baby happy.:) Note: I do have a 3.5 year old who usually accompanies me with my regular clients. If you choose me as your sitter this is good to note because I will only be able to be solo on some weekends. She has been around multiple different types of animals big and small since she was born. She is good with being gentle and knowing her boundaries but I recognize she’s still young so I can assure you constant supervision will be had for the safety of your fur baby and my baby. At my home, I also have a boxer who loves small dogs as well! They will be in great company. At your home, I will provide your pet and home with the utmost love and care. I will also be sure to provide you consistent updates to keep your mind at ease because I know how worrisome it could be leaving your fur babies behind and you want to be sure they are being taken care of. So I’ll be sure to show you just that!

Erin has been wonderful! My Litter Robot was acting up and she researched so that she was able to troubleshoot and keep it running. Even my shy cat felt safe with her. If I could rate her services higher than 5 stars, I would!

About: I have taken care of a German Shepherd, Shih Tzus, and chihuahuas as needed for the past couple years. I work part time for a maximum of five hours a day so I am available to provide dogs with attention and care at home the rest of the time. :) I work part time for a maximum of five hours a day, when I am outside of work I spend most of time home. During the time I am at home I’m able to adjust your pets care according to your preference. I live in an apartment and have a small male chihuahua who gets along great with other dogs. I don’t have a restrictive environment and will happily allow your dog to rest on the couches and beds, and roam around the apartment. I don’t have a fenced yard but I can walk and take your dog potty on a leash.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have cared for my neighbors’ dogs for over 6 years. I also frequently volunteer at my local animal shelter, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved. I work part-time so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice long walk! Mornings usually work best for me during the week and I have some availability on the weekends! I have tons of experience walking dogs and always keep caution around busy streets and other dogs. I strive to make sure the pup has a great walking experience!

About: What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals —I focus on making them feel secure, understood, and cared for just like they’re my own. I'm new to Rover as I'm sure my profile shows lol However, Im able to show reviews & plenty of pet love I've given thus far 🥰 This job is equally as enjoyable for mee as the beautiful fur babies ❤️ (maybe more) Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my bookings to make sure each pet gets consistent attention, care, and reliability. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I build my day with their needs in mind so I can provide dependable, stress-free care I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent as possible, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable by following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions, while also giving them plenty of attention and affection.

Thomas was great! He took care of my two dogs when I was away, which wasn’t that easy since one of them has kidney disease and need subcutaneous fluids everyday. Will book again in the future!

About: I have taken care of pets all my life, by 8 years old I had 5 pets to care for. Comfortable around all dogs and cats. Very much a pet person! I currently work a full time job but I can definitely make a schedule that accommodates to your fur baby whether it be walks, check ins, companion time or whatever else I may be able to help with! I am not offering at home care for pets just yet, not able to provide the space in my current home. hoping to very soon.

About: I’ve never been lucky enough to own my own, but I am lucky enough to have tons of friends and family with doggies that I get to care for and love! I only work 3 days a week and it switches every week! Those 3 days are 12 hour shifts from noon until midnight. Can work with you to accommodate schedule! I live in an apartment complex, we have a huge middle area of grass and many places nearby to walk such as neighborhoods or parks.

About: I have over 2 years of dog sitting experience and currently work full time at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m experienced with feeding routines, exercise, and group play, and I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I work full time, five days a week, as an opener at The Mellow Mutt, with typical 6-hour shifts. My schedule can occasionally shift, so a bit of flexibility is helpful, but I do my best to keep things consistent for pet owners. I’m also a full-time online student at SNHU, which allows me to stay flexible and available for house sitting needs. I usually work Wednesday afternoons and most of the day Sunday, and my only consistent day off is Saturday, making me available for extended stays and attentive overnight care. While staying in your home, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their feeding, walking, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very attentive to their behavior and comfort, so I can quickly adjust to their needs and help them feel safe while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and respected, and I’m happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is well cared for.

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep you updated! I’m a college student here in South Carolina who really misses my pets back home, so I’m looking for chances to care for other people’s pets while I’m at school. Spending time with animals — whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or just giving them attention — makes me happy, helps me manage stress, and gives me something meaningful to look forward to outside of my classes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and relaxed environment. I have a friendly golden retriever who’s trained to stay in the yard, and a bunny who’s free to move around the house as he wishes. I make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe, supervise outdoor time, and always follow your care instructions closely—whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, I offer more than just basic sitting — I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I specialize in puppy training, including basic commands and housebreaking, as well as gentle, compassionate support for senior pets who may need medication management, mobility assistance, or extra patience. My background includes working with shy, anxious animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet like family, ensuring they receive the same love, structure, and attention they would at home. I work full-time during the week, but I’m passionate about pet care and am available to help on weekends. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or extended sitting, I’m happy to make weekends all about giving your pets the attention and care they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In your home, I respect your routines and house rules to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I make sure pets are supervised, have access to fresh water, stay on their regular feeding and exercise schedules, and receive plenty of affection and playtime. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with lots of cozy resting areas and secure outdoor time (always supervised). I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether it’s administering medication, accommodating special diets, or simply offering extra patience and love.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
