About: I love hanging out with dogs and getting to know them. I love playing and walking with them and I have a lot of experience doing so. I have been dog sitting for about 4 years now for my families friends and I have taken care of elder dogs and puppies and dogs that have needed to take medication. I do have experience with 100+ pound dogs that pull on the leashes. If you do need me to walk a bigger dog, please tell me what the dog will react to so I can be prepared to walk them. If there are two bigger dogs, I will not book until I know if they are reactive to anything. I am also able to take care of other small animals like amphibians, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals. If you do have farm animals, I do require a meet and greet. i can always take care of your dog after 10am throughout the week and anytime on the weekends. I can also take your dog to a local park or path and walk then there! I will typically go to copus, central park, or east race but whatever is closest I will go to. If you have a recommended place for me to go, I will go there. This will typically take an hour and that includes the drive there and back. This service costs 40 dollars. At my own home, I make sure my pets have a very stimulating environment and I try to play with them as much as a can. I will do the same with your friends. I am also available to water plants, take in the mail, and do other house activities if I am doing a drop in visit only. Just let me know ahead or time or leave me a note, and I will make sure to get the chores done.

“Thanks for taking care of Tango. He loves his walks.”

“Heather does outstanding with my two girls! My littlest baby lupita who has always been very fearful of strangers absolutely loves her. She usually takes a while to warm up to new people but met heather the first day and loved her. My oldest girl Nana is a big love bug so she of course had to be all over her the first day she met her. Heather made the process of trusting someone other than myself to love and care for my babies as I would a very easy and stressless process. She accommodated all the special needs of my girls, checked in frequently, and answered any questions I had. She was very flexible with her schedule when a change of walking time was needed. I have nothing but good things to say about heather and could not have picked a better person to trust my baby girls with.”

“Melissa is fantastic. My little anxious dog is new to drop in visits while I'm gone, but Melissa showed her exactly the patience and kindness she needed to get comfortable. Olive treats her like a great friend every time she sees her now! I'd recommend Melissa to anyone without hesitation.”

About: I know I’d only want the best for my fur babies, so I plan to be that for your pets needs. I have many years of dog obedience classes with two different (sometimes opposite) dogs. I love getting to know the different needs of each dog. They are all individual. I’ve grown up with many animals. I’ve dog sat before and been expected to administer various kinds of medication. I am not a behavior expert. I do have experience dealing with difficult behaviors and will carry out any request you have for training that I am able. Training alignment is important to me. And less confusing for your fur baby I currently have one dog who is very well socialized. Play dates are an option. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I am a teacher looking for summer work. I also work with dogs on the side. I have lots of experience working with all breeds of dogs. Each dog or pet has their own needs and personality. My own dogs need different feeding schedules and training. I know how to differentiate and listen to a pet’s needs.

“Sophia was great. Dexter took to her right away and enjoyed his walks. Will definitely be booking again. Thanks Sophia”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

About: I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands when you’re away - I’ve spent my entire life caring for dogs, cats, and birds I work remotely for the most part so I'm flexible. I can work my other job at my pace and can ensure your fur baby has plenty of attention. My home has a fenced yard. I have a spare room if your animal like their space. I enjoy outside time if your animals likes walks.

About: I have had many kinds of pets, from turtles to birds to cats to dogs to horses. Now that I'm retired, I have time, knowledge and experience to share with others who need support for the care of their pets. A retired teacher who is home most of the time. I have time to give, and I would like to help others with pet care. I love to walk, and I'd love to walk your dog. I have time to stop by and care for your pets in your home. If you need to board your pet, I have a quiet home and would enjoy having your pet in my home. My home is I have a fenced yard for dogs and cozy boxes by windows and two litter boxes for cats. I am careful to follow owner's instructions to follow the routines their pets are used to and to provide visiting pets with any particular medical care they need as well as affectionate attention and exercise.

About: Whether it be dogs, cats, horses, cows, or any animal in-between, I've been raised around animals all of my life. I've had a dog that I've cared for on my own since I was nine years old and couldn't imagine my life without one. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I'm more than comfortable handling your pet from the puppy/kitten stage to their golden senior years, and have experience with medication administration and special care attention. I currently have a three year old Australian Shepherd of my own, and so have no issue handling dogs with a stronger need for mental stimulation and exercise. Whether it be a simple check-in at the home, to a walk around the neighborhood, to taking your dog to the local park or joining me on a run, I'm happy to ensure that we keep your dog to the schedule he/she prefers at your comfort level! If you happen to have a feline friend instead, I have several years experience babysitting for the neighborhood and college friends' cats, and am more than happy to watch over your fur baby while you're away.

“Thanks! I really appreciate -”

About: Hi! My name is Jacee. I’ve had the joy of growing up in a home with at least three dogs at any given time, so I’m very familiar with the care, attention, and love that our furry companions need. More recently, I’ve also started house-sitting for friends with cats, and it’s given me a deeper understanding of how to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their humans are away. Whether it's dogs or cats, I’m confident in my ability to provide the care and attention your fur baby deserves! Pet care fits into my routine in a really natural and enjoyable way. I work full time, but I’m able to step out during my lunch break to take a dog for a walk or spend time with a cat for some play, company, or feeding. On days when I work from home (which happens a few times a week), I have more flexibility and can offer longer visits or more frequent check-ins. I’m also available on weekends, which allows for even more dedicated time with your pet. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love fitting it into my day whenever possible! While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m very comfortable and respectful when caring for pets in their own space. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed in their environment, and I treat every home I enter with the same care and professionalism I’d expect from someone looking after my own. I would be sure to follow any directions exactly!

“She was great with my pups!”

About: I started sitting and walking dogs on Rover six years ago as a way to spend time with pups when I wasn’t in a place to have a dog of my own. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am now a proud dog mom to a young, friendly Bernadoodle. My pup and I love making new doggy friends and spend lots of time outside in our fenced backyard with our Rover dogs. My yard has plenty of space for games of fetch and tug. I limit my Rover sits to one new dog (or new family) at a time in order to ensure your dog’s safety and give your pup as much of my attention as possible. I’m an avid walker and runner, so if you’re not looking for boarding services, I’d love to get some steps with your furry friend. Send me a message and let’s set up a meet and greet 😊 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’ll be around your pup nearly all day if boarded at my place. I’m also able to commute throughout the day for drop in visits and walks. I have a fenced in, grassy backyard that’s perfect for playing with a dog. I live in a quiet, very dog-friendly neighborhood great for walks/runs. Your dog will spend their days playing with my pup and is likely to meet other dogs on our walks. If invited to care for your dog(s) at your own home, I will ensure the utmost level of cleanliness and care for your space.

“Kennedy was responsive and helped us out with little lead time. She followed instructions well and was pleasant to work with.”

About: I’ve owned dogs & cats all my life. I absolutely adore fur babies and can’t get enough of them. I have 2 cats of my own as well! I currently am working full time . With Wednesday and Saturdays off. I am available to stay at pet owners home if dog sitting . I am also able to check in on cats everyday as well. If pet owner lives close (within 5-10min) to my work I am able to let dogs out during my work lunch hour. I am also willing to be flexible as well if I have time in advance to try and work something out with my schedule at work! When I pet sit, I make sure dogs/cats have enough food water and toys. I enjoy playing with the animals as well as making sure I am doing the required tasks the owner has asked. I clean my cats litter box daily and when sitting for dogs I make sure I take dogs out multiple times or when Owener ask. I also love going on walks with dogs!

“Angie walked our dog for four days in a row. She was on time each day, professional & did what was asked of her. Our pup looked for her after the first morning.”
