About: If you are new to Rover, use this link to get $20 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/chris24494 I can offer dependable, loving care for your pet while you are away. I have experience with my own pets as well as taking care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I also have experience with rescue dogs in my home, although I am taking a break from rescues for the time being (it's so hard to let them go!) I am comfortable caring for pets with anxiety and medical needs such as medication, eye drops, ear drops, and medical crating. With a genuine passion for animals, i can offer care and attention while you are away. My schedule varies so reach out to let me know what you need. I am often available during the day, but early mornings, evenings, and nights are my most consistently available times. I am available to work weekdays, weekends, summers, and most holidays. I am currently not caring for pets in my home but I am happy to come to you for drop-in care, play time, medication management, and of course walks.

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for a wide range of pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for animals of all kinds. Along with dogs and cats, I’ve cared for rabbits, baby chicks, fish, turtles, birds, and even small insects — each one unique and special in their own way. Animals tend to naturally gravitate toward me, likely sensing my calm and caring nature. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they always feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. If I were to hire a babysitter for my pupper, I would hire myself! I work in a flexible full time remote position, so rover fits perfectly into my ability to travel and be flexible with babysitting options as well as midday gigs Although I don’t have my own place just yet as an option for babysitting, safety is first and as long as you can provide any safety details, I’ll be attentive to make sure no escapes and accidents happen.

“Alyssa is simply one in a million! She took care all four of my girls (2 dogs, one cat and a macaw). She took the dogs for long walks, talked with them, fed them and spoiled them with attention and love. My shy cat loves Alyssa as well and my grumpy macaw. I think my girls were rather disappointed to have me back. We are loyal customers of her for sure, she is going to be our go-to person for pet care. Alyssa gave detailed daily reports on the girls, what they were like, what she did with them and updated us with daily pictures, our girls had big smiles on their faces every day we were away. Thank you Alyssa!”

About: I am an animal lover of all shapes and sizes. I am a mom of 2 bully breeds and do not discriminate! I would love to meet and care for all fur babies. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and anything else you may need! I have also had multiple senior family dogs and puppies throughout my 25 years. I am a recent graduate studying for my licensing exam and would love an excuse to meet and be outside with animals. My schedule is pretty flexible currently. Your home, your rules. It will be like I was never there. My goal is to care for your pets just as you would. Specific goals for walks or home will be upheld!

About: Hello! My name is Purav and I am a Senior in high school. I run track and like photography. I'm an athlete and love to get my cardio in with dogs. I have three years of experience from my pups and I want to give your dogs the love I was able to show mine. Do let me know if your dog has any food aggressions, what their exercise routine is like and where they like to be scratched the most! Here is my availability Walks/Runs Monday to Friday - 1:00pm to 10:00pm Saturday & Sunday - 11:00am to 9:00pm Pet Sitting I am willing to pet sit if you need somebody to look after your pet when you are out-of-town. Do let me know well in advance so I can plan my schedule. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine right now. I’m interning part time and only have a few 2‑hour art classes spread throughout the week, so I have plenty of open blocks of time to focus on your pet. That flexibility lets me stick closely to your cat or dog’s usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and check‑ins, rather than squeezing them into a packed day. Pet safety and comfort are the top priorities in both my home and my clients’ homes. I have a fenced side yard where dogs can safely get fresh air and potty breaks without the risk of wandering off. ​ I live right next to a park and a jogging path, which is great for structured walks, light jogs, and enrichment time while still keeping your pet on leash and under control. My house is plenty big for pets to walk around freely, with lots of windows so they can relax and watch the outside world from a safe, comfy spot. It’s quiet near my place and I live at the end of the neighborhood, so there are rarely any cars passing by, which helps keep things calm for more sensitive or anxious pets. In your home, I follow your rules and routines closely—doors and gates secured, leashes on outside, and clear boundaries—so your pet feels safe, and you can trust they’re cared for just the way you prefer.

About: I've volunteered at shelters, babysit family / friends dogs, and been working with dogs officially for a year, also I have 1 dog and 3 cats. I'm currently learning how to train dogs.

I am able to come check in mornings I have to work, and come back at 1. every thursday I am off along with another day. I live In a pretty spacious apartment. If need I can crate and / or separate my animals. We have a nice trail in the back, along with a dog park right in the front. I have spare dog beds, bowls, toys if needed, and I don’t mind going to the store.

I can provide bath and nutritious home cooked meal for your pet on request. I understand pets are like our babies and need the same care and love. I would be happy to note down all their requirements and follow their daily routine so that they do not feel anxiety in your absence. I stay in a big house with a fenced yard and with lots of walking and playing space all around.

About: I'm a life long animal lover with a big heart for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. At home, my wife Amanda and I care for a full crew: a 10 year old Lab mix named Cali, two cats named Milo (12) and Binx (9) - and a 32 year old Senegal parrot named Bubba. Having a multi-pet household myself means I'm comfortable juggling different routines and energy levels. I currently work a 4 day work week with my usually shift being 8am-6pm. I am available all day on Sundays and Tuesdays consistently, however my third day off sometimes differs. My dog and I take walks through the Firewheel mall area as we live in the mall itself. Our apartment complex also offers two different dog parks on the back side of the building.

About: I am an at home baker with two kids. I have previously boarded animals in an apartment but now I have a house with more room! I have owned all types of pets from frogs to guinea pigs to cats and dogs. I will treat your pet as I do my own. I'm an at home baker so I have plenty of time to watch your pets. Only occasionally will I leave to run errands or deliver an order or take the kids out for a bit. I have a house with a wood fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I also have two pets an aquatic turtle and a rabbit that can easily be put in a cage and in another room if need be.

“Nicole walked my big dog while I was gone for a weekend. She was very thoughtful to make sure my dog had everything she needed and that they walked places where my older dog is comfortable. I would definitely recommend.”
