About: I am an animal lover, and most importantly when it comes to your pet, I will love and take care of them as if they were my own. I have had all types of pets such as dogs, hamsters, and even bunnies. It is a passion of mine, and I am looking forward to providing a loving, fun experience for your best friend! I have two amazing dogs of my own, walking, feeding, loving, and playing with them is priority. I will do the same with your dogs. I have a fenced yard, huge neighborhood to take dogs for a walk. I am willing to come to your neck of the woods if need be!

About: I've worked with animals my entire life, from my own personal pets to working in pet boarding facilities, grooming salons, pet stores, vets office & volunteering with rescue groups. I even ran my own pet sitting business for 5 years, which became highly demanding. Thanks to Rover, I'm looking forward to getting back into pet sitting part time as I love caring for all types of animals. I have experience with everything from dogs and cats to exotic animals and even farm animals. I have more than enough experience to care for your pets and home while you're away. I’m self-employed and structure my schedule around providing consistent, dependable pet care. Because I manage my own time, I’m able to prioritize visits, maintain routines, and be flexible when pets need extra attention. Pet care is a core part of my weekly routine, not something I squeeze in. I focus on reliability, clear communication, and making sure pets experience as little disruption as possible while their owners are away. My background in client-facing, responsibility-driven work strongly shapes how I approach pet care. I believe pets are most comfortable when they can stay in their own environment and follow their usual routine. My goal during drop-in visits is to mirror what they’re used to as closely as possible to reduce stress and anxiety. I take trust seriously when working inside clients’ homes. In addition to pet care, I’m happy to bring in mail or packages and tend to small household needs like watering plants if requested. I approach every visit with respect for both the pet and the home.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles and farm animals since I was young! I currently own my own business so my schedule is very flexible. Perfect for those last minute occasions that pop up. Available whenever needed to take care of your fur baby! The health, wellbeing and safety of your animal is of my utmost concern. I’ll always have your dog on a leash outside (unless you have a fenced in yard) and monitor their reaction to the environment. If there’s anything “off” about your pet I’ll notify you ASAP.

Johnny is great! Johnny understands how to build a relationship with dogs and their owner. In one week he has built a strong bond with my dog and she looks forward to her walks with him. He also takes the time to hang out with my dog rather than taking her out for 5 minutes and leaving. Johnny is very professional, responsive and communicates effectively. He is always punctual and will let you know ahead of time if anything has come up on his calendar. He sends pictures daily of my dog and gives me details of anything that went on during their walk. I cannot recommend Johnny enough. Very lucky to have found him!

Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.

About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.

About: Hi! I’m Nikki. I’ve lived with dogs of all sizes my whole life and have been providing pet care for several years. I’m a true dog enthusiast who also studies canine behavior and training—so I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on keeping them safe, relaxed, and set up for success while they’re with me. I’m experienced with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I’m comfortable supporting basic manners and routine-based training during a stay (sit, down, leash manners, calm greetings, etc.). I’m also very familiar with crate training and can help keep your dog’s home routine consistent—whether they’re crated at night, have structured rest breaks, or need extra support settling in a new environment. My goal is simple: your dog feels secure, enriched, and cared for—and you feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care is a consistent part of my weekly routine. I’m home most of the day and plan my schedule around feeding, potty breaks, walks, and supervised outdoor time. I’m able to accommodate most drop-off/pick-up times with a little notice, and I keep dogs on a structured daily routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced front and back yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs are always supervised and brought inside as needed (weather, energy level, or comfort). My home is structured and calm. I can offer private time and separation at any point, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routines and boundaries. Dogs can sleep crated, in a safe room, or in another arrangement you prefer. I also have two stable, friendly medium-sized dogs. If your dog enjoys social time, we can do carefully managed introductions and supervised play. If your dog prefers space—or does best as a solo guest—I can absolutely accommodate that too. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and anxiety, and I aim to make your dog’s stay peaceful and predictable.

I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to giving your dog a consistent and enjoyable routine Your dog’s safety is my top priority during every walk. I pay close attention to surroundings, avoid risky situations, and ensure secure leash handling at all times. I follow your instructions carefully and respect your dog’s routine and personality.

About: I have experience working at animal shelters and cat rescues! Working with animals is my favorite thing to do. Brings me so much joy!

About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.

When Nena's regular sitter was hospitalized right before a business trip we were completely lost and in a panic. Andrea to the rescue! Andrea was super quick and responding to my inquiry for availability, and setting up a meet and greet. Nena was extremely happy and pampered my entire trip, and I came home to a pup that was grinning from ear to ear! Great communication, updates and pictures everyday while I was away. Nena definitely has a new friend in Andrea!

Shelby was awesome. He took such great care of my chihuahua while I was away, even though my pup can be… A LOT. He kept me in the loop the whole time with photos and updates, which made being away so much easier. You can tell he really cares and knows what he’s doing. Super reliable, super kind, and honestly just great to work with. Highly recommend Shelby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and phenomenal with pets. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Woof! Hi, it’s me, Lucy. I am using my hooman’s phonr (don’t ask how) because I simply must leave a review for my Rover sitter, Jenna. First of all, when my hooman left, I thought “oh no…”. But the Jenna walked in, smelled like treats, sunshine, and someone who definitely knows how to scratch behind my ears properly. Jenna walked me and even threw the ball for me at the park! I even got a belly rub when we got back. Now that is service! Can’t wait for Jenna to walk me again! A++++
