About: I've always loved animals and adopted my 2-year-old dog Winnie when she was a puppy from Awesome Paws Rescue. I'm my friends and families go to pet sitter for all animals, from dogs, cats, to even axolotls! I work 100% remote with flexible breaks to drop in or take a nice leisurely walk! If your dog needs some socializing my dog is unemployed and ready to play! Animals are family and are loved (and spoiled) as such! Any dog will be adored and taken care of like I would my own fur baby.
About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I am currently working a job during the afternoon on the weekdays and the weekends but I will still be available to play with your pups on the weekdays some mornings :) I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.
“Nafisa was wonderful all week long! She showed up on time or early every day. She was kind enough to give me a heads up before she arrived everyday to give me time to make it to the door and have my dog ready. They bonded immediately and my neighbors noticed how well she manages his large size and energy.”
“So personable, professional, and so thankful she was able to walk our dog on short notice. Highly recommend and will be using again!!”
“Darrean was professional and prompt! Also I asked her last second for an hour walk and she was available so if you’re in a pinch then she is your go to. I needed someone to tire my dog out while I worked a 12 hour shift. Thanks!!!”
About: Hello! I'm a teacher and a mom and I'm looking to make some extra money while meeting some great pets! I've have pets my whole life! Hello! I'm a teacher and a mom and I'm looking to make some extra money while meeting some great pets! I start summer break 6/28!! So I will be home more often during the day! I have two kiddos - 5 and 7. We would love to watch your pet at our home if they need more than a potty and play break!
“This was my first time using Rover and it was just a day before I went out of town for 2 days. She replied within minutes of the initial request and asked to stop by that afternoon to meet my fluffy one and see if it was a good fit. I'm glad it was. She was very communicative and she eased my first-time-leaving-my-dog-with- a-stranger nerves. We chatted about how hot it would be (90+) and she took the dog where they didn't have to walk on the hot pavement much and had some shade. She paid attention to how my dog was handling the heat and when my dog wanted to head home. She sent pictures and updates for each walk. I will absolutely use her again when the need arises.”

Callie S.Star Sitter
“As her parent, I’ve had the unique privilege of watching my daughter grow into the compassionate, responsible, and driven young woman she is today—especially when it comes to animals. From a very young age, she showed a natural connection with pets. Whether it was calming a nervous rescue dog, bottle-feeding kittens, or learning everything she could about animal behavior, her passion has always been crystal clear. Now, as a college freshman majoring in Canine Training and Management, she’s taken that love and turned it into something truly professional. What sets her apart is not just her knowledge, but her heart. She approaches every animal with a deep sense of empathy, patience, and respect for their unique personalities and needs. I’ve seen her spend hours working with dogs who were anxious or reactive, earning their trust with quiet persistence and care. At home, she’s always been the go-to caregiver for our own pets—a high-energy German Shepherd–Chihuahua mix, two senior cats, and even the occasional foster animal. She’s organized, attentive, and never cuts corners. She takes the time to understand routines, asks the right questions, and ensures every pet feels safe and loved. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family—someone who’s not only educated but genuinely devoted—you won’t find a better fit. I trust her fully with any animal, and I know she’ll bring that same level of dedication to your furry family member.”
Tatiana D.
“Tatiana was amazing!! My dog Jack is a rescue dog from Thailand. He is very nervous and requires a lot of patience. She did great!! She got him to come out on walks and definitely had his trust. She set up a little bed for him in the spot he liked and her kids were wonderful and patient as well! Would definitely go to her again. Lots of love, attention, exercise and understanding. I would definitely recommend her!”
Donna L.
“Donna has an energy that all animals magnetize toward. It’s amazing to witness. Our dog gets so excited to see her! It gives me full trust in her abilities to take the best care of our pup.”

Triniti F.
“Triniti is an amazing pet caregiver! She balances raising her own three well-trained dogs while in medical school, with each learning their own tricks! She’s consistent with routines, grooming, medical care, and socializing her pups with people and other dogs. I’ve trusted her to watch my dog multiple times, and every time my pup comes home happier, better behaved, and even learning new tricks. Triniti has even helped ease her separation anxiety. She’s responsible, loving, and incredibly dedicated your pets will be in great hands with her!”

“Sam took such great care of my fur babies and my home while I was out of the country and to Disney World for long stretches of time. The animals were very well cared for and loved and she gave me constant updates on them to let me know how their day was going. We have two dogs, one elderly mix breed and one more active Husky as well as a Maine Coon Cat. She was able to handle them with ease while still keeping the house tidy. We appreciate her so much for all her hard work and care for our beloved pets. Highly recommend her!”
