About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was young. Looking forward to taking care of your fur babies as if they were mine I recently lost my pets and the apartment I live in doesn't allow pets so I look forward to loving your fur babies as if they were my own I'm pretty flexible at dealing with animals I used to have a Australian shepherd and a Shih Tzu Chihuahua mix and two cats so I'm used to taking care of a lot of babies
“Highest recommendation! Penny represents the utmost in professional care for your pets. We had the great fortune of using her in-home pet sitting while away on vacation. From the get-go, Penny set herself apart with highly responsive communication and respectful punctuality. She was immediately at ease with our pets, and provided numerous daily update photos so we knew everything was going well while we were away. Going further, she patiently provided the extra care our senior dog needs in terms of daily medication and food preparation. Penny is everything a great pet sitter should be!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life for as long as I can remember. Anything from horses to rabbits. I also have 5 years of veterinary assistant/tech experience at a small animal veterinary clinic. I’m experienced and comfortable giving pets their medications, injections, nail trims, etc. I’m currently just a homemaker so I have a lot of availability, I would love to spend my free time with animals as they are my passion. Whether I am coming by a couple times a day to take care of your pets or house sitting I am a very by-the-book type of person. I will follow your instruction and guidelines in an organized and detailed manner. My experience in a vet clinic also allows me to feel comfortable with any pet care situation.
About: I have 10+ years experience with animal care. For example: walking, bathing, feeding, cuddling, giving medicine. I have worked in kennels, hospitals, grooming salons and here on Rover for several years. I work for myself so I am available almost 24/7. I have experience with all types of animals but mostly cats and dogs. I'm friendly and patient and just adore animals. There's nothing I wont do for your fur babies!! I am easy to reach by call or text and can send photos with updates at any time. I work from home and I make my own schedule so I am available 24/7. My availability is wide open and I respond quickly to requests. I am very detail oriented and will treat any animal as if they were my own. I am easy to reach via text, call or email.

About: Lifetime dog lover, long-time owner of a pair of rambunctious huskies (RIP), not yet ready for new ones myself, so here I am looking for canine company through caring for yours! When I’m hosting, I’m home full time. I do this because I love spending time quality time with dogs and miss having my own. Your dog will have steady companionship, multiple long walks, and consistent one-on-one engagement. If I do step out, it’s brief and I’m always happy to include them in outings when appropriate. Care is always individualized. I have a strong affinity for intelligent, medium to large breeds, especially working-type and high-energy dogs who need exercise and engaged play. I genuinely enjoy dogs with personality who want to think, move, and interact. A crate is available if needed. I'll follow your routine and use what works best for your dog.
“10/10 will recommend Anamaria any day of the week!! She is amazing. Our Stella was so happy and had the best time with her. Happy and healthy were our main priorities and she exceeded them with her care. Constant updates, great communication, and flexible! She also took care of our crested gecko and his needs. From the first meet and greet when Ana asked detailed and important questions, we knew she’d be a great fit and caring sitter. We are happy to know we have a reliable and go-to person for all future pet needs!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover offering dog walking services for your furry family members. I’m a mom of four, with two dogs of my own—a German Shepherd and a Pomeranian—and two cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. We recently moved from California. I spent my time hiking twice a week with my dogs, alongside my cousin and her Doberman and cattle dog. Staying active and being outdoors is a big part of my life, and I love bringing dogs along! I treat my pets like family so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, exercise, or just some companionship during the day, I’m here to help. My husband and I are currently in the process of buying a home, and I’m looking to earn a little extra income while doing something I love. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am currently a stay at home mom. I will be available during the summer and our youngest will be starting kindergarten so my schedule is open to you and your pets needs for long term! I can come to your home, help administer medications, play with your pets and take them for walks. Available for occasional overnight stays if needed.
About: I have experience with both young and older pets. With puppies and kittens, I stay consistent with routines and can help reinforce basic training like potty habits, feeding schedules, and positive behavior. For senior pets, I’m gentle and attentive to their needs, whether that means giving medication, moving at a slower pace, or just providing extra comfort and companionship. I also make sure pet owners feel at ease by keeping communication open—I can send updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, and I’m consistent with routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra visits, longer walks, or special care. I’m reliable and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and kept on their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions, give fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of exercise and attention. I also provide playtime, affection, and calm companionship so they feel at ease while you’re away. I keep the space clean and always respect the client’s home just like it’s my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs for friends and family when they go on vacation! Whether that is watching a movie or going for a walk! I try to make them feel loved! I go to into work mid mornings and get off in the afternoon/evening. So im able to go for morning walks or nightly jogs. I dont work twice a week so I can spend all the time with them if needed! I have cats and yard! We live near a park so they can go and have fun! The cats have never been around a dog so Im not sure how they would feel.
About: I’ve always been known to have a dog by my side. They were my family and they came first. I cared for them through every stage of life - some adopted as puppies and others rescued in old age. I've trained puppies and administered medications. After loving and losing many dogs, I made a thoughtful decision not to adopt again. Now I devote my time, experience, and full-hearted attention to the daily care of other people’s dogs as I've always done for my own. My goal is to host one dog a day, maybe 2...(if the first parents agree and they enjoy each others' company). I am only available to house-sit in special circumstances and if/when I have no daily doggies who require my attention. Advanced notice is required. I operate as a fully insured limited liability company and provide care in a calm, secure, and attentive home environment. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives my full focus, patience, and respect. My yard is fenced and I have no pets or children living here — just quiet space for your dog. I offer a "day camp," not a kennel. Dogs enjoy a fenced front porch and back yard with full furniture privileges. Dog TV and "Calming Music for Dogs" via Alexa are available throughout the stay.
About: I have been caring for animals for 8 years plus counting and it's by far my favorite kind of job. I'm very comfortable with reactive dogs and can use my training to help better understand their behaviors. I have experience with senior dogs and post surgery care. I am comfortable with pet medication and administering when needed for pets. I'm currently working part-time, so my time is very open. I'm available anytime after 1pm during the weekdays and anytime after 12pm during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and live near a park with trails. I also have 2 crates, a small and large one, if your baby prefers to have their own space. Lots and lots of toys for heavy chewers.
About: I have a dog and two cats of my own and I have a deep love for all of them. I can’t wait to meet some of your animals or pets in the future. I do have school from 8 to 3:10 and involved in extracurricular activities but on the weekends and sometimes throughout the week, I am free. My dog is trained to stay in our yard, but in public, I always walk him on a leash and I would be sure to keep your pets and animals on a leash, unless stated otherwise in your directions.
About: When it comes to pet sitting, my history primarily involves medically fragile animals. Specifically, getting used to taking car of a dog with diabetes and a cat on medication for its allergies. I enjoy animals quite a bit and look forward for a chance to cuddle and play with them. I am currently working part time, and mostly remote, so I will have time to keep an eye on your pets and make sure they get ample attention. It also leaves my schedule rather flexible. I have worked as an EMT, Emergency 911 Operator, and formerly worked IT in a prison. I have been very thoroughly background checked on multiple state and federal levels. You'll find me open, honest, and communicative at every step, especially regarding care and concern for pets and places in my care.
