About: I have owned all kinds of pets my whole life! Cats, dogs, guinea pigs, etc… besides that, I’ve also volunteered at many animal shelters! I frequently pet sit for friends and family with all kinds of furry family members! I’m currently in school, and entering my sophomore year! I’m home for the summer, and looking for something I know I would love to do! I have very open availability, and I’m willing to come to you! Even though I’d love to bring your furry friends home with me, I have to put the well being of my doggy first in her home.

At home, we have one German Shepherd who does everything with me! From going on walks, to going to get a coffee, she never leaves my sight! I am completely prepared to give the same love to any animal!!

I have a friendly dog that would love to play or just hang out with your fur baby. As well as, living in an area with walking trails. I have a available room that works as a kennel if needed.

About: I am new to Rover, but have been a pet/housesitter with TrustedHousesitters since 2018 and MindMyHouse since 2022. I am available for long term (7+days) in home pet sits anywhere.

Just send me a message and we can figure it out. I am a social introvert, who enjoys spending time with animals, volunteering, babysitting, exploring, reading, gardening, photography and using my creative side as much as possible. I LOVE going on adventures with the pups that I sit for. Everywhere outdoors that I go, they go (if the pet owner approves). I am also just as content cuddling up with them at home. I bring over 30 years of experience in house/pet sitting.

I worked as a florist for 10 years and have always had a garden and eclectic selection of plants of my own. Finally, I love photography and will most likely send you lots of cute photos of your pets. I work remotely five days a week and am able to be around your pets throughout the day to ensure they have the love and attention that they need.

About: I grew up with all kinds of different animals. Dogs, Cats, Rats, Ferrets, Iguanas etc. Some may even say it was like I lived in a zoo. I currently am a college student who works part time. I have time in between to make sure your pet is taken care of. We can work with mine and your schedule to make sure your pet has the best care possible! I am a very adhd young energetic guy. I will use all my energy to make sure your animal is the time of its life.

About: Hey guys! My name is Amy King and I'm the owner of Eel Lady Aquatics. When I'm not busy writing and working with fish, I'm home taking care of our animals and family. I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, animals would just find me. It's safe to say that not much has changed into my adulthood. I am everyone's "go to," whenever it comes to helping our friends, families, and neighbors, take care of their beloved pets. The last year (2024) has been rough. While we did welcome a special needs puppy into our life, we also lost all three of our adopted senior dogs. Losing a family member, even a "pet," is devastating. Our hearts and home are a little bit emptier now. Animals are a blessing. We truly feel that they are genuine, pure soles. Helping to make someone's life a little bit easier, by simply showing an animal or two some extra love, is really no problem at all. One thing that I knew when I became a mother, is that I never wanted to miss the important moments. So rather than working for someone, I became my own boss. My schedule. My time. My family. My schedule offers me unlimited flexibility. This offers me lots of extra opportunities to helping provide extra care to those who need it. While our yard is not fenced, we live on half an acre in a very quiet neighborhood. When it's time to take our dogs outside, we simply go out with them. We currently have a deaf puppy who would love to have someone to play or even just snuggle with.

“Amy is an amazing pet caregiver, and also just an overall swell human being. She's punctual, thorough, knowledgeable about animal care, and is happy to follow any specific instructions you may have. She's respectful of your space and takes full ownership of her responsibilities, leaving nothing to chance. I've relied on her to care for my household of animals (2 dogs, 3 fish, & 75gal aquarium) many times over the last several years, and there is no one I would rather entrust with their well-being than her. 10/10!”
