About: I have grown up with dogs, and have years of experience volunteering at humane societies. I have handled dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and I love them all! I am currently going back to school and have availability on most days, although it does vary by semester. Animals are a huge part of my life and I cherish the time I get to spend with them and strive to provide them with the best possible care. It can be stressful when their owners are gone, so making their experience special and something to look forward to is important to me. Pet safety always comes first. I make sure animals are secure in their leash, do not escape, are kept at a distance from other animals (unless socialization is requested), and do not ingest anything dangerous. I am careful about keeping germs from spreading between pets and will always wash or sanitize my hands before touching your pet, will sanitize any toys I bring, and only use clean towels if they are necessary. Cat and dog body language is a special interest of mine, and I make an effort to interpret the signals of your animal and adjust my behavior to make them more comfortable if necessary. I believe in being gentle, kind, and encouraging with my tone of voice and actions. Pets pay a lot of attention to people, and can be sensitive to their reactions. For dogs: -I will follow your instructions for any walks/feeding/playtime -Unless instructed otherwise, I like to let dogs make a lot of the decisions about where we go on a walk and have lots of opportunities to stop and sniff. Smells are so important to dogs and are a major way their brain stays active and enriched. -I can handle strong pullers and fast walkers. -I am happy to reinforce any training goals or commands that you are working on with your dog if you would like. -I supply my own poop bags. -I have a couple of kong balls that I will bring (sanitized between dogs) if you are ok with your dog playing with them at our visits. I find for ball-motivated dogs, it can be a useful distraction and also a fun way to make their visit more exciting with a novel toy. -If approved by the owner, I bring 100% chicken treats that I can use to make them more comfortable or reward good behavior. -I will keep you updated on the appearance of their stool to make sure you know if anything is out of the ordinary for them. -I monitor how much panting and heavy breathing a dog is showing in the heat, especially in short-faced dog breeds. -If we walk through mud or rain, I bring a towel to wipe paws and towel off before coming inside. -I am experienced with elderly dogs and am careful of their joints and hips when handling them or asking them for certain movements. -I have experience with reactive and resource-guarding dogs. I pay extra close attention to any body language and the dog's individual cues in these cases, and have protective gloves if they are necessary in an emergency. For cats: -Cats have a very special place in my heart. They are all so unique, which makes getting to know each individual so rewarding. -I approach each cat at their comfort level. Sometimes a cat needs to watch me in their environment for a bit until they feel ready to come close. Some cats can be enticed by play. Some are won over with brushing or petting. Some will not be comfortable to come out for anyone except their person, and that is fine! -If approved by you beforehand, I can bring some of the many toys my personal cats have no interest in (washed before hand) to give them some novel enrichment while you're away. -I can also offer them some 100% chicken treats if you give the ok beforehand. -I have experience giving oral medication, subcutaneous fluids, eye or ear drops, brushing reluctant cats, removing mats, nail trimming, and retrieving cats from hiding places if necessary. I recommend doing a meet and greet session before our first visit, but if you provide me with instructions, I am also comfortable with visiting an animal on short notice. I look forward to meeting your animals! I'm in school and my schedule will vary somewhat each semester, however I currently have lots of availability. Let me know what times you need! I am happy to follow any instructions provided. I will take dogs out for walks for as long as is requested. We will walk close to the dog's preferred pace. I do not allow the dog to interact with other people or pets unless otherwise indicated. I may give the pet a treat at the end if you approve ahead of time. I leave the home in the same condition as it was when I arrived, barring any other requested tasks. If I take your pet for a walk on a muddy day, I will clean them after with my own hypoallergenic pet wipes. If I notice anything amiss, such as a limp while walking or other possible health concern, I will notify you immediately.

About: I’ve owned animals all my life, I worked at a doggy daycare for a few years in college and I’ve done pet sitting for family and friends for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken body language classes (since that’s how our pets communicate with us) and multiple training courses with my own dog. I’ve also owned fish, turtles, several small animals including hedgehogs, hamsters, birds and rabbits. I’m open to any pets not just cats and dogs 🖤 My schedule is mostly anytime around an 8-5 Monday-Friday work schedule since I paint cars at a dealership collision shop during the day. There is no schedule for pet care so I do my best to be open and flexible to drop in on your fur babies whenever they need it. I own a reactive dog, so I understand body language and stress and how it can stack up during the day. A good balance of physical activity, combined with mental stimulation and TLC will help to ease any anxiety your pets might have while you’re gone. Many households (even myself) have cameras inside and out to keep an eye on pets and I always encourage parents to reach out if they think their pet needs an extra drop in regardless of if it’s scheduled or not. Pet sitting isn’t just a “30 minute drop in” it’s much much more to me.

About: I have a Master’s degree in Biology and currently work in a management role, bringing reliability, organization, and strong communication skills to everything I do—including pet care. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even bunnies. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting for a wide variety of animals throughout college and beyond. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered my time walking dogs at a local animal shelter and have supported animal welfare through holiday donation drives. Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I genuinely value. I’m also an active runner currently training for a half marathon, so I’d be more than happy to take high-energy dogs out for runs or extra-long walks to help them burn off energy and stay happy and healthy. I’m using Rover as a way to give back while doing something I love. I’m fundraising for two meaningful causes as part of my upcoming runDisney half marathon at Disney World: Hope Story, which supports individuals with Down syndrome, and Experience Camps, which provides free camps for children who have lost a parent or sibling. I’m just $1195 away from my goal, and every booking helps me get closer while continuing to provide loving, dependable care for pets. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. My son will be attending school this summer and I’m looking for additional ways to earn some extra money. I have a rescue pit-mix named Jetta who enjoys our acre and a half backyard. I am reliable and will show respect in client homes, if drop in visits are preferred.

“We were thoroughly pleased with Jean, and our first experience with Rover. She obviously loves what she is doing, and that showed in her photos of our dog (Rusty). The text communications were appreciated, and we felt pleased that Rusty had been cared for well. Thank you!”

“Jackie is GREAT! She is punctual and very sweet with my pups. She took the time to learn their personalities which is helping them feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Jackie for your pet care needs.”

“We’ve recently contacted Kacie for over night stays but also for walks. She is kind and very responsive. I’m excited for our pup Kiki to be in such good care. Thank you Kacie!”

About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.

“Mary is wonderful! Our dog loves her and so do we.”

About: I have been a dog lover my whole life, I treat them like they are my babies! I'm available almost all day, and love to cuddle and play with the dogs in my care. I currently have a pitbull named Stella, and 2 granddogs that do not live with me. My family shares my love of dogs, and will give extra cuddles and pets when we have company. I will make your pup forget that that are missing their parents while they are away. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and most dogs are drawn to me when we first meet. Hopefully it's okay if I pup talk to your dog!? It's a great way to bond with them! Thank for reading! Sara

About: I trained my dog starting from when she was 8 weeks old to be potty trained and how to do several tricks, in less than 6 months. I'm a new college graduate with a flexible schedule, leaving plenty of time to care for pets. I'm available at all times during the day. I am very observant when it comes to pets. My dog has been an escape artist and liked to try and eat everything in sight, so I've always kept good attention to pets.

“My dog Fergus and I are very pleased with Nicole. It’s obvious she likes and understands dogs. Fergus is a large, 90 pound black lab and she manages him well. She does a great job of communicating arrival times, etc. We look forward to many more walks!!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I’ve had both dogs and cats in my home since birth, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. Currently, I share my home with a Standard Poodle, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and two dog-friendly cats who are all well-socialized and used to visiting pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I’m always happy to arrange a video call or an in-person meet and greet beforehand — whatever helps give you peace of mind. Why pet parents choose me: • Your dog will enjoy a comfortable, home-like environment with plenty of love and attention — not long hours outside unsupervised or crated unnecessarily. • I only board for one family at a time, which allows me to give your pet individualized care and attention while also limiting exposure to unfamiliar animals. • I work full-time from home, so your pet will rarely, if ever, be left alone. • As a Rover customer myself, I know how reassuring regular communication can be. I’m happy to send frequent photo updates and check-ins while you’re away. • I pride myself on being dependable, reliable, and attentive. Whether it’s boarding, walks, or drop-ins, you can count on me to be punctual and fully committed to your pet’s care. • I do not require crating for dogs who are not normally crated at home. I want your pet to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during their stay. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they’re with me — and for you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for like family. I work full-time from home Monday - Friday, but I am able walk and care for pets on my breaks and lunch hour. My work schedule is extremely flexible. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means belly rubs, head scratches, cuddles, treats, playtime, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to your pet’s individual personality and needs. And if your pet prefers their space or is more independent, I’ll always respect their boundaries and comfort level. For drop-in visits, I’m open to watering plants, taking out trash, bringing in mail etc. in addition to caring for your pet(s). Just let me know what you need done!

“Lauren has been wonderful with Ike. She is very responsive, communicates clearly, and is always patient with him. Since Ike is a shy boy, I really appreciate the time and effort she puts into helping him feel comfortable. With each visit, Ike has become more relaxed and confident around her, which speaks volumes about her caring and gentle approach. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
