Pups loved Robin. This was our first try with a drop in and her ability to deal with two very active dogs with food, meds, and getting them out and back in was perfect. We will definitely use Robin again.

I have been using for a couple of times now. She is 💯 reliable and I can always count on her to giving loving far to my cat Rin. I wanted a sitter that can give lots of cuddles and love in addition to providing care ( cleaning litter, water etc). She is the person.

About: 💸 New Rover clients: $20 off with code ELENAC26419 My goal is to treat every dog like they’re my own—keeping them happy, safe, and relaxed while giving owners peace of mind. I focus on providing calm, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions during every walk or visit so pets feel comfortable and secure.😊 I’m currently working part-time as a registered nurse. I have plenty of time and energy to spend with your pets! I offer a flexible and reliable walking schedule to fit your dog’s needs and routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks, including recurring daily or weekly visits. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions from the owner. I also give plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation through play and interaction, while respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries.

Stephanie was very punctual, professional, and left detailed notes after every visit so I always had the peace of mind while out of town. She even let me know when the cats spilled some water from their bowl and tidied up the eating space! Thanks for going above and beyond - I certainly know who to trust with my cats in the future.

Highly recommend Mariah. She has done walks and drop in visits with our dogs for years. She is always reliable and responds quickly. We end up making last-minute bookings often because of our work schedules and she always gets back to us right away. Most importantly our dogs love her!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love and patience I bring to every dog I meet. I don’t just watch pets—I care for them like they’re my own. With experience ranging from energetic puppies who need structure and play, to senior dogs who need extra comfort and gentle attention, I know how to meet each dog where they are. I’m attentive to their routines, signals, and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. My goal isn’t just to be a sitter, but a trusted companion for your furry family member. I have a free schedule during the day until the evening and what better way to spend my day then to be with a furry friend In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where dogs can feel at ease. I stick closely to their routines—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or downtime—and give them plenty of love and attention. I make sure they get both exercise and enrichment, while also providing cozy rest time so they feel balanced and cared for. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect and follow the routines and rules their pets are already used to. I make sure they feel secure in their own space, keeping everything consistent from feeding schedules to playtime. I also give updates and pictures so owners know their pets are not just cared for, but happy and comfortable while they’re away.

About: I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work. If you have small animals that need baby sitting my home is open to them and I have experience with a variety of small animals. I'm located off a major highway making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I fit every animals needs and put them into my regular routine. I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.

About: I have been caring for dogs of all ages my entire life. I like to focus on making sure your dogs are comfortable when you are away. It can be a hard adjustment for both pet and owner to be separated, but I’m here to make everything easier! I’m currently working part time and am working on an online degree, so I will have a lot of time to spend with your pet! I have a large fenced in yard and a large home for the dogs to play and roam. Dogs are family in my house and are allowed on couches and beds. Water is always out in the open and access to the yard is freely given (unless otherwise specified). I try to play with the dogs and give each and every one special attention.

About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.

About: Hi! I’m Sammy! I’ve always loved animals since I was a little kid. I even studied animal science at a vocational high school were I interacted with all kinds of animals ranging from quail, to bunnies, to dogs. My first job was also at a doggy day care! I’m excited to use my passion and experience to help those in need of a sitter or walker! I have a flexible full time, hybrid work schedule that allows me to be home Wednesday night till Monday morning. I do require advanced prior knowledge so I can adjust my weekend accordingly. I live a very active lifestyle that includes lots of long walks, runs, and hikes so energetic dogs will receive the necessary exercise and enrichment they need! As a pet owner, I know how each pet needs individualized care. So, leave me with detailed instructions on how best to care for your pet and I’ll ensure it gets done.
