We are extremely grateful for her help and I know Kaia enjoys her visits and her departure treats!”

About: I am a five star, exceptional pet sitter . I can send video and pictures every day that I have your pet. I have been a pet owner since I was a little girl. I’ve had several different kinds of dogs all small dogs and also I have cared for the elderly for years. I’m currently not working, I am a caregiver and I take care of an elderly person. I also took care of two little puppies. One is a Maltese and one is a Shih Tzu., I have an apartment, however I do have a small fenced in yard, I have a dog park also, and I have two small dogs that get along great with other animals and also children and also seniors. I have been a dog lover for years.
“Great with my 80 lb, strong willed boy! Friendly and puppy comes home happy and worn out. Everything I could ask for! Will hire Richard again for sure. So glad we got connected with him!”

About: I currently have 2 dogs, a cane corso and french bulldog. I’ve spent my whole life watching over friends/families cats and dogs, ranging from different sizes and breeds. Where I live has a backyard for some outdoor play time and cool air conditioning inside. I love animals and am excited to be doing this because it brings me so much joy!! I am currently in school but am home for most days of the week, so my schedule is super flexible. I will always be around to make sure your pet has the attention they need along with frequent potty breaks and walks! I strive to create the perfect stress free environment for your dogs happiness! Whether this involves treats or frequent cuddles and play time. I do my best to communicate with my clients as well as strictly following instructions.
About: Hi, I’m Caitlin! I provide dependable, attentive pet care and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs—and I always aim to make pets feel comfortable and cared for during every visit. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk around the neighborhood, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and exercise they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide photo updates and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Feel free to reach out to me anytime! I always respond fast. I know it’s important to keep our animals in their routine so I can be flexible with times! I like to keep things as normal as possible for your pets. I can play, let them out, go on walks, give treats, etc. No request is too much when it comes to keeping them in their routine.
“Sandra helped us out with our dog while we were here for 3 months for work. Motley loved his walks with her. She is reliable and always sends good pictures. Highly recommend using her for your pets!”

About: Hi there, I’m Abbygale but go by Ari or Abby! I recently adopted a cat, which is where most of my experience comes from, as well as a different range of animals through Rover itself! My experience leans more basic but I am very open to learning :) I work another full-time job that keeps me occupied during the evenings (roughly 3pm-12am)—my lunch break is not sufficient enough for me to step out and do check-ins/let animals out for bathroom breaks. My schedule is not completely set in stone, however I primarily work weekends. (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Please feel free to ask about my availability or catch me early enough to put in a notice! When it comes to caring for animals, I can only take up to three (3), I’m flexible in some regards but talking it through will result in the best case scenario for both of us! I stick with the schedule, if given, so that the pet doesn’t stress out over it—I’ll be as flexible as given

About: I have had so much fun providing pet care services through Rover and have met some wonderful families! I’ve had dogs in the family my whole life and our cat is a treasure in our home. I’ve recently said goodbye to our sweet elderly dog and my heart yearns for more four-legged friends although I'm not ready to commit to adopting just yet! Caring for other peoples’ pets has helped me mend some cracks in my heart! I started doing Rover since I had experience hosting friends’ dogs during their family trips and helping family and neighbors with their pets. My own family has also included birds and fish if that’s the type of care you need! I have just exited education to go back to school so I have flexible availability for this work. I am currently at home going back to school while my children all attend school during the daytime. It has never been a better time for me to enjoy this type of work! I have a fenced yard with grass and a lovely neighborhood for walking! I have a two story home and dogs are welcome on main level (baby gate on stairs) Hard floors make for easy cleaning.
About: Since I was about 10 years old and had my first dog, a floppy Basset Hound named Happy, I have loved taking care of pets, especially dogs. Just like Happy received, I believe every dog deserves genuine care, attention and affection. I'll be sure to love on and give your dog special care, just like I did Happy. I work from home Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your dog, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home during the week, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I provide a calm, loving environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. In your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’m experienced with high-energy & large dog breeds! I focus on structured, alert walks and attentive supervision. Above all else, I prioritize your dogs routine & safety first. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I tend to be more available in the mornings & afternoons, but am happy to do evening work should the need arise! My schedule tends to vary week to week, but my evenings get busy from Thursday to Saturday. Otherwise, I’m happy to help! Safety, structure, and home security are my highest priorities. For house sittings and drop-ins, I strictly follow the owner's established rules, keep entryways locked, and double-check gates/doors before and after any outing. For walks, I practice active leash management and remain hyper-aware of my surroundings—maintaining safe distances from triggers, bikes, and other dogs. I ensure fresh water is always available, and send detailed updates after every visit so you know your pet and home are completely secure.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I adopted my baby 5 years ago without knowing how close we would be — she’s my baby girl! She’s an apartment dog, so I’m familiar with making sure indoor dogs still get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I walk my piggy atleast twice a day and love spending time with her — she’s my bestie girl! She’s a CHEWER, so I love finding her chewies that last and that she loves. She has two moods — couch potato and wild animal — so I can hang with both! :) I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs — I’m willing and able to follow your instructions to help your doggy feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I have experience in caring for allergies and other health needs, so I’m comfortable following medication instructions, keeping up with special routines, and paying attention to changes in their behavior. My baby is also quite reactive with people and other dogs, so I’m comfortable doing whatever is necessary for them to feel safe and secure when we’re out and about — and will follow any specific instructions you give me! Your baby will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m excited to meet you and your doggy! :) I’m currently building a coffee truck business, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I like to wake up and get my dog moving pretty early in the day, so I’d love to do the same for your baby (or follow any routine they do). :) My biggest priorities for taking care of fur babies are safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll follow the instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any specific needs or preferences your pet has. I’ll be very attentive to your babies! It’s so important to me that they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure doors, gates, and other exits are properly closed. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind and good communication while you’re away!
