About: I’m a retired medic and have training and experience in animal care, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, some small reptiles, mice and rats. I’ve got you! I’m a non-smoker and married so not looking to party. I will love your home and babies and I am very responsible. Please reach out I’d love to help if I can.

I generally care for animals in their home. I am flexible, I only prefer to come to your home because it’s easier on your pets. I will not bring my own pets unless requested.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs, and I have experience administering prescription medications to both dogs and cats. I am currently a part-time remote student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! This allows me to easily accommodate pet care needs throughout the day, whether that’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications. I’m able to provide consistent companionship and care, especially for pets who need a little extra attention or have specific routines. I’m also available during weekdays, evenings, and weekends, which helps me adapt to each pet’s unique schedule. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs—whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. In Your Home: I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure and relaxed while you're away. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication (if needed), and of course, lots of attention and affection! I also make sure your home stays tidy and your pet feels safe and loved in their familiar environment. In My Home (if applicable): My home is a calm, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for. I keep a clean, safe environment and follow your instructions closely when it comes to food, exercise, crate time, or special needs. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure each one gets plenty of one-on-one time and care. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family—with patience, love, and attention to detail.
About: Dogs and cats have always been part of my heart. I don’t remember a time in my life without my beloved pets by my side. I grew up with both dogs and cats — caring for puppies and kittens to golden-agers — so I speak fluent meow, bark, tail wags, zoomies, and nose boops. Now I share my days with my sweet (and slightly naughty) 7-year-old, rescue cat, Thackery Binx. Calm, gentle energy and positive patience are my superpowers. I treat every furry friend with tenderness, respect, and love — just like my own! I’m self-employed and work from home, so my schedule is very very flexible. Available weekdays and weekends for dog walks, plus dog and cat home check ins. I treat every furry friend with tenderness, respect, and love — just like my own! Calm, gentle energy and positive patience are my superpowers. A pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I can not think of a time when pets have not been a major part of my life. I’ve been around dogs since I was a toddler and have not been without a dog since. I currently have a 2yr old border collie mix puppy and my mom’s 12yr old english bulldog at home. My dad also has a pitbull mix rescue that I care for frequently. I’ve cared for my titi’s black lab, beagle, and whippet mix rescue as well. I do have past experience pet sitting a mixed breed rescue and a Maltese cat for a friend on a weekly basis. I am an instructional aide and retail employee with an extremely flexible summer schedule. As an aide I have the summers off and only work about 3-4 days a week in retail. I have tons of free time to care for fur babies! I currently live with my mom in a 4-bedroom home with a fenced in back yard, walking trails, and a small park. My mom loves dogs more than anything but her bulldog is particular about other dogs. My border collie gets along with any other pup and loves to play! In the past, I have usually cared for pets at the clients home or done drop ins.

Please let me know if you need a dog sitter. We are flexible throughout the week and can have at least one of us at home. We have a dog park nearby, and we can walk your dog as much as you love to.

About: I’ve house/dog sitted for a boxer for two weeks where I also did general house work (water plants, clean the house, and other house work). I’ve always lived with a cat or dog. I currently live with a two and half year old dalmatian. I’m pursuing a career in writing, so that gives me a lot of freedom to take care of any furry little friends. I’m used to living with dogs, so I know what to keep out of reach and how to do so. I’ve lived with all small, medium, and large size dogs so I’m used to dealing with all kinds.
About: Having owned numerous dogs since a very young age, I have always been highly responsible in caring for my fur babies. I have also pet sit for many years, caring for both dogs and cats, as well as dog walking! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities (30 - 100lbs) and am very good at reading dogs behaviors to avoid any potential issues that may arise. At one point I looked after four dogs of my own: a senior Boxer dog, a young crazy French Mastiff, and two anti-social French Bulldogs. I am confident I’d be able to help you and your dogs in any way possible! I have plenty of availability with an open schedule! Can do walks morning, middays or night. Whatever would be best to help you and your fur baby, let me know! I like to ensure dogs are as calm and relaxed as possible while in my car. I understand they all have different personalities but I aim to keep them in their routine as much as possible to ease their discomfort while away from their owners.
About: I have lots of experience with dogs, from small dogs to big dogs and anything in between. I have experience in potty training, and taking care of my high energy Belgian Shepherd Husky mix. I’m good at dog sitting, walking dogs, running them, as well as checking in on them when needed. I ensure the dogs are comfortable to the best of my ability and to the owners desire. I will have plenty of time to spend with the dogs needs and owners desires for their pet. I am free all day most of the time on weekends and am usually free all week. I have a safe environment in my backyard, with my friendly dog and can ensure your dog keeps busy. I know multiple parks with a lot of experience taking my dog to, with plenty of friendly people and dogs to meet and greet with yours if need be.
About: Hello! I’ve cared for animals since I was young and genuinely love spending time with them. I work from home so I can drop in to check on your fur baby often or can stay over in the afternoon/ evenings. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I currently work full time from home on Central hours and can check on your furry friend often, generally every 4-6 hour, or more often as needed I will follow your instructions to the T for how to care for your pet. In my house, my dog is allowed on the bed and can sleep with me so if that’s okay with you, that’s okay with me!
About: I am very organized when it comes to administrating medication, exercise schedules, feeding schedules, and training schedules. Being a dog mom myself, I know how important schedules and routines are to lessen anxiety and keep each doggo happy and care-free! I am a dog mom myself and my boy loves his routine! Eat every morning at 7:30am, walk from 8am-8:45am, dinner at 4:30pm, afternoon walk 5pm-5:45pm In my home, my dog comes first. Any plans, trips, or time out of the house are all planned around his schedule. I am highly respectful of each client’s home. I would love to do a walkthrough, if applicable, to get to know you and your pet, their space, and any special requests you may need. I do not drink, I do not party, and I’m usually in bed by 9pm.

Highly recommend Annette for all your pet care needs!”

Mckaela & Tom S.
“McKaela is one of the kindest pet owners that I know to her beautiful husky mix Aspen. She grew up with dogs in her house which have always been well behaved, nice dogs and her involvement in their lives is very much a reason for that. I could not recommend her more highly to be a dog care giver.”
Elise S.
“Lets face it, our beloved pets take top priority when we are planning a vacation, have an emergency causing us to leave abruptly or just needing someone to walk when one cannot. Peace of mind and trust go hand in hand with hiring Elise to dog sit for my Samson. She is very responsible, pays attention to Samson while walking. Knows her surroundings, pays attention to Samson's body language and can handle his 84 pound strength with unforeseen circumstances. Samson absolutely loves Elise and feels at ease, doesn't hesitate leaving the house with her as some dogs look for their owners before venturing out. Elise follows instructions of amount of food and treats Samson gets, makes sure there is always water available and keeps the schedule she has been given for walking times. I highly recommend Elise for your pet's needs.”
San Luis Rey dog parents share their Rover experiences
We’ve had the pleasure of having Susan take care of our pets on several occasions, and she never disappoints. This time, she was the real hero watching our two high-energy huskies. In addition to our cats (including our newly adopted kitten), and we were extremely happy with the care she provided. Our huskies are full of energy, and Susan did a great job keeping them active with daily walks and playtime. We returned to two tired, happy dogs who had clearly gotten plenty of exercise. In addition to the dogs, Susan also took great care of our cats. She made sure to spend time with them and kept them entertained while we were away. It was a relief knowing both the dogs and the cats were in such capable hands. Our home is a zoo, so Susan’s reliability is something we really appreciate. We never had to worry about a thing while we were away. She sent us regular updates and pictures of the dogs and cats, so we could stay connected and see how everything was going. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Susan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable pet sitter. She’s become our go-to for pet care, and we’ll definitely be booking her again for any future trips if she agrees to grace us with her benevolent presence! :D Susan really is THE best.
First time I used Callon and he was great. Stepped in when the dog walker I'd booked weeks in advance for a trip out of the country cancelled at 1:30am. I hurriedly got on rover and found Callon who agreed to come later that day and the next 5 mornings. Great job and I'd defienetly use him again.
