About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, I bring a lifetime of dedication, reliability, and deep animal understanding to every visit. What sets me apart is not just my longevity in the field, but the personalized attention and calm, confident care I provide. From energetic puppies needing structure and training, to senior pets requiring patience, medication, and gentle handling—I’ve done it all. I specialize in reading animal behavior, easing anxiety in shy or rescue pets, and creating a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Your pet’s routine, health, and happiness are always my top priority. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, special needs care, or just keeping your pets company, you can count on me to treat them like family—because to me, they are. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, medication needs, play sessions, and quiet companionship, ensuring each pet receives the attention and consistency they thrive on. Whether it’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being as if they were my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s woven into my lifestyle, bringing joy, purpose, and a calming rhythm to each day. I have a large fenced in backyard that has ample room to run and play. I also have a Great Dane who loves all animals. In my clients’ homes, I provide personalized, stress-free care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or cuddle sessions—ensuring they feel secure and cared for in your absence. I keep things tidy, stick to household rules, and maintain open communication with daily updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, consistent presence that pets trust and look forward to, so you can travel or work worry-free knowing they’re in capable, loving hands.

About: I have a passion for animals and I would like to work closely with them as much as possible. When your pets are under my supervision, you will never have to worry for their care. I will make sure to take them on at least two walks a day and feed them under any diet regiments that you find necessary. I have cared for animals in my past. I am looking to continue on with this line of work.

“Our shy kitties loved their visits from Gaby, she made sure they were well loved, fed and taken care of while we were away, which we are so appreciative of! They were in great hands!”


About: Hi! I’m Emily — a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet care pro. I work weekdays from 8–5, but I’m flexible and happy to collaborate on timing that works for you. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekend care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. I offer drop-ins, walks, and pet adventure packages with plenty of photo updates so you never miss a tail wag or silly face. You’ll get peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and having a great time. With 7+ years in pet care (including time at a busy pet hotel) and a current home full of chaos—one dog and four cats—I’ve worked with animals of all ages, temperaments, and needs. From zoomy puppies to shy senior cats, I adjust my approach to help each pet feel seen, safe, and calm. If your pup would benefit from a social walk, my dog Charlie may join — she’s polite, playful, and great at reading other dogs’ vibes. But solo care is always available too! New to Rover, but not new to pets. I’m here to connect with your furry family and make your time away feel a little easier — for both of you. 💬 My messages are always open — reach out anytime! I work full-time during the weekdays but have a flexible schedule after 5 PM for evening walks, check-ins, or cuddles. I also have open availability every other weekend and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits during those times. If your pet needs a consistent routine or you have special scheduling requests, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I believe in personalized, intuitive care—every animal is different, and I take the time to learn what works best for your furry friend. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I’ll be highly selective to ensure a good fit for both your pet and my own crew. I require a meet-and-greet in advance, so I can understand your pet’s needs, temperament, and routine—and make the proper adjustments in my home to keep everyone happy and stress-free. If I’m visiting your home, I ask for a pre-meeting with your pup, ideally including a walk and a conversation about your expectations, your pet’s routine, and any special needs. I want to make sure we’re all comfortable and on the same page before you head out. I provide calm, consistent care, always attuned to your pet’s behavior and emotional needs. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, an energetic hike, or just some quiet company, I tailor every visit to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood.

About: We have been pet owners all our lives until recently. We have experience looking after dogs and cats. We would love to fill the gap by helping you out with pet sitting needs. Your fur baby will be treated as part of our family! My husband and I work full time, some days from home. My work is just few minutes away so I am able do potty breaks and walk during lunch. Our schedules are flexible and we can adapt to your needs. We currently don't have any pets at the house. Our yard not fenced but the neighborhood is very dog friendly with a little nature trail for walks.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel just as loved and comfortable as my own two dogs. I’m very patient, so if your pet is shy or a bit energetic on the leash, that’s no problem—we’ll take things at their pace! I currently work part-time remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility to help care for your pet! I'm available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, and I’m happy to adjust those hours if you need care a little earlier or later. I have a strong attention to detail, so you can trust that I’ll carefully follow any instructions you leave to ensure your pet’s routine is kept just the way they like it.

“Brandi is top notch in my opinion. Every time she has came over she makes it a point to spend time with my dog and keep on furthering the good manners I’m trying to teach her. I’d recommend here to everyone!!”


About: I have about 10 years of experience pet/house/babysitting around my neighborhood and local community. I am known as very responsible and reliable. My kind gentle demeanor and love for activity and adventure combined with my years of experience make me the ideal pal for any furry friend! I do have a bit of medical/first aid experience in my background. While mainly trained for human medical care I am confident in my ability to correctly administer necessary medication to your pet. I am 20 years old and currently advancing my education while also working part time as a server. My classes are online and serving job is very flexible, meaning I’m able to set my schedule around pet sitting commitments. I would like to expand my network of clients and am looking forward to building long term partnerships and making more fluffy friends.:) I live at home with my parents and ideally would prefer pet sitting in home for clients. This provides me with freedom away from home while still being near, as well as saving the gas of driving back and forth between drop ins. Since my classes are online I am able to be physically present at all times and give your pet my constant attention and affection. I value cleanliness, communication and respect. It is always my goal to leave your home better than entered.

“Makes the extra effort. Extremely kind! Helped take out a snake from my home while I was gone and letting my pups out! She’s tougher than me! Been using her for awhile now and not one complaint! Highly recommend!”
