About: Hiya! I’ve been pet sitting for the last 15 years! Can’t have my own pets, would love to love on yours! Let’s chat and see how I can help you. I am currently starting my own business and I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to help you in whatever ways you need. Unfortunately, I can not have pets in my home. But I am more than happy to keep your pets routine with extra walks and snuggles.

About: ​Hi, I’m Erika! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I bring that lifetime of comfort and familiarity into caring for your fur baby. ​Currently, my days are filled with pet care. I am a proud cat parent, so I am completely in tune with feline body language, routines, and the exact spot they like to be scratched. I also care for my neighbor’s dog on a part time basis. This means lots of walks (I love trails!), dog parks, playtime and providing companionship! ​Because pet care is a natural part of my everyday life, you can head out the door with total peace of mind knowing your pet will receive reliable, attentive, and tailored care that keeps their usual routine perfectly on track. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have a very flexible schedule and would love to walk/care for your doggo! It helps me get my steps in along with getting your dogs energy out! ​Whether caring for your fur baby in your home, walking them, or doing a drop in, my top priority is maintaining their absolute comfort and security. I strictly follow the routine you’ve established by keeping feeding, medication, and walk times exactly as they are used to so their stress is minimized while you're away. ​I treat your home with the highest level of respect, ensuring it stays clean, quiet, and secure. You can also count on regular updates and photos after our visits so you always have total peace of mind knowing your pet and your home are in safe, responsible hands

About: I can offer specialized care for puppies, seniors, and high-needs pets. My experience started with helping friends and family as both a boarder and pet sitter. Now through Rover, I have worked with many different families and met so many furry friends! I have experience walking many different dogs and feel comfortable walking larger breeds. Growing up surrounded by pets, particularly rescued ones, I've developed a deep connection with animals. I genuinely respect each pet's unique personality, and provide attentive care while respecting their boundaries. I'm working primarily as a pet sitter. I usually have other personal projects I work on during the day so I will leave from time to time, but never for longer than your pet is used to. The rest of the time I'm happy spend however you usually do with your pet. If you have a high needs pet that requires close to 24/7 attention I would love to help, but I will need to ask for additional compensation. Safety and trust are my top priorities when providing personal in-home care for your pet. I will always prioritize your pet's well-being and respect your home. I want to build a genuine bond with your pet to make them comfortable during our time together. I am happy to send you pictures while I'm with your pet!

“Jenna did a great job taking care of our dog (Great Pyrenees) and our cat. This was my first time using Rover and I had a very positive experience.”

About: I have experience providing both overnight pet care and daily drop-in/walk visits for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and ages. I enjoy caring for animals and believe dogs thrive with consistent attention, daily exercise, and loving care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work in a school, so I currently have weekends available and I will have summer available to provide daily walks in a few weeks. Safety and fulfilling needs is my number one priority when I have a pet in my care. I will ensure that walks or visits are safe for your pet and that its needs are being met.

About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.

About: I have two cats and a crested gecko, so I’m used to complex pet care. As a nursing student, I also have general medical knowledge as well as compassion. I’ve grown up near my grandparents who always have a dog, and over the past several months I have helped care for their mini golden doodle puppy. I work 2-3 twelve hour shifts per week at the hospital, leaving the rest of my week completely open. I’m available any day of the week at any time. I am able to crate your dog in your home, bring them in/outside, and I’m always up for a good cuddle session or some playtime!

“Hanna was very attentive and responsive. We needed care last minute and she was able to respond right away and confirm all the information. Both our dogs had a great time in Hanna care.”

About: I have been taking care of my family’s and our friend’s dogs since I was 13. I have been able to take care of many different dogs, most with varying levels of basic medical needs such as medication, or a specialized diet. I will be working part-time, so I will not be able to be in the house all day. This will not stop me from giving your dog the utmost care they deserve. I am happy to share my work schedule just to give an idea of my availability during the sitting period. I have no problem tending to any dogs’ needs whether that be lots of attention, medication, regular walks, or providing an enriching space for them to play. I have taken care of many dogs with varying levels of needs, so this is no problem at all.

About: Is your dog: - High Energy? - Destructive During the Day? - A Little Chonky? Let me help you come home to a happy, tired, fit pup! As an avid runner, I'd love to take your pooch for a long run, chill stroll or anything in between! I'm also willing to do some light housekeeping during drop-in visits. For 11 years I worked at a pet specialty store educating customers about the best ways to care for their pets - dogs, cats, birds, fish, geckos/bearded dragons and small animals. During that time I also worked briefly as a dog trainer. I have dogs and cats of my own, and previously kept freshwater fish, an axolotle, Syrian hamsters, anoles, chinchillas and a tree frog. I currently have some early morning availability (6-7) and evening/night availability (after 4:00) during the week. Saturday and Sunday I am generally open and have more availability. Pet safety is my top priority. I always make sure doors and/or gates are secure and that dogs have their collar on when going outside.

“Jennifer was always on time and did an excellent job taking care of our dogs, Storm and Sage. I’d absolutely hire her to care for our dogs again!”

“Jasmine was my first encounter with this app and hiring a sitter. She set my mind at ease. She is very nice and caring. Our bulldog Lola seems to really like her! I will be reaching out to her again in the future when we need it.”

I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m available during the afternoon (sometimes early morning)and on most holidays.

You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands 🐾 Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet! I currently work during the day, so I offer pet care mainly on my days off and when I have daytime availability. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m an animal lover and enjoy spending time with dogs. I make sure to plan my schedule so each pet gets enough attention, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime. I keep my availability realistic so I can provide reliable, consistent care for every booking. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and any specific care needs. I also spend time giving attention, play, and companionship so they don’t feel alone while their owner is away. I pay close attention to safety, making sure doors, leashes, and environments are secure during visits and walks. I also keep the home tidy and respect the client’s space. I provide updates and photos after visits so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for 🐾

“April did a wonderful job watching our 2 cats. Our home was left exactly as we left it and my cats were both very happy. She also sent several photos after each daily check-in, which was a wonderful addition to the visits.”
