“Bayli far outdid herself taking care of my furbabies. They got a little rambunctious while their humans were away and created a bit of a mess, with knocking items over and what not. Bayli cleaned up the mess and vacuumed up their sheddings(long hair cats). Not only would I highly recommend her, I will always use her to take care of my littles in the furture!!”

“We were very hesitant using Rover for the first time. Gianna made the process very easy for us, and even wanted to meet our dog before officially booking her. Our dog loves her and was very comfortable. Gianna went above and beyond in every way, and get little assistant was very enthusiastic to take meet Mochi 😂 The first booking went great and I am confident that we will be booking her again again!”

“I have been put completely at ease with securing a sitter for my beloved pups! Mariah is attentive to my dogs needs & regular routine. My pups look forward to seeing her come thru the door. She goes above & beyond the call of duty making sure my pups get ample mental & physical stimulation during her drop in visits. Thank you Mariah for being the best drop in sitter around!”

About: 🐶❤️ I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for friends, family, and neighbors, making sure they receive the attention and care they need. I provide feeding and fresh water 🥣, walks and exercise 🚶♂️🐕, playtime 🎾, and lots of love and companionship 🐾. I'm reliable ✅, responsible ⭐, and always follow owners' instructions carefully to keep pets safe and happy. Whether it's an energetic puppy or a senior dog, I make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their family is away Free pretty much all the time especially during summer sometimes I have to make emergency trips to New York for short periods of time but not often! I have a fenced yard, huge backyard for the pups to play in and have fun as well as toys and more my neighborhood is pretty secure and safe. As far as pups being in my home they will be treated as my own food water the essentials many belly rubs playing around and naps so much more. I currently have a very small pit bull he’s very friendly and he’s just a baby so he’s harmless.

“Kiana took great care of my 5 cats while I was gone for 10 days. She sent me daily updates and photos of my cats. She took the time to play with them. She followed my feeding and cleaning instructions to the letter. My house looked exactly as it did when I left. I will no longer hesitate to go out of town now that I know I can reach out to Kiana.”

“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”

“Alexa was a perfect sitter for us! She is professional, nice, and kept us updated with messages and pictures. And most importantly, our cat absolutely loved her! We will be using her services again.”

About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.
About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.
“Kristen is wonderful with my German Shepard. Kristen treated her as if she was her own pet. I am very lucky to find a great Rover walker for my pet. I would definitely recommend her and use her services on the future!”

About: I've been helping care for animals for as long as I can remember! I have helped my family pet sit, volunteered at the animal shelter, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I am currently working as a freelance artist! Between gigs I have lots of flexible time to come take care of your pets. I am available for drop-ins/walks most days of the week, and I usually have some weekend availability! It's a priority of mine to establish trust with your animals! I am very keen on body language and other behavioral cues that allow me to meet your pets where they're at. If there are special instructions for an animal, I make sure to follow them to the letter.
“Caitlin did a stellar job at establishing a rapport with my dog, and making her feel comfortable around her, as my dog can get quite anxious and excited around new people. She did charge an additional $5 per visit for a travel fee that was not a part of the original visitation fee- it would have been nice to have the price quoted up front. Overall, excellent job.”

“Danielle cuddled with my babies and it was definitely nap time because they were monkeys earlier!! I think they’re going to get warmed up to her right away. They are a good little bunch, but I’m sure they will test her too. So far / so good!”

About: I have cared for a pet since I was 12. Have had dogs, cats, gerbils and cared for ferrets, hamsters, piranha and snakes. No pet is unlovable. I can walk, feed, or bathe your little one😊 I work overnight Monday through Friday, so I am available mornings for walking/ feeding, checking in on pets. I can also pet sit in weekends. Due to fostering a pit bull mix at this time, no boarding I am a wife, mom to three, foster mom to one and cat mom to two. Very dependable and will respect your home as I do my own.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly understand that every pup is different. I trained my own stubborn Yorkie with patience and consistency, and I currently care for my senior Golden Retriever who has hip issues so I’m experienced with both energetic young dogs and gentle, slower-paced seniors. Whether your dog needs structured walks, positive reinforcement, or a calm and patient pace, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy every step of the way. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure you feel completely comfortable while your pup is in my care. I’d love to meet your best friend! 🐶💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prioritize staying active and structured in my days — I regularly go to the gym and attend Bible study — which allows me to consistently plan walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, including weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute or same-day requests when possible. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important trust is, and I treat every dog with the same patience and care I give my own.

About: I will be able to provide one on one care & I have volunteered at South Suburban humane society. I love dogs. Excercise is important and love and caring for a dog is important as well. I will provide both love and excercise for your dog. My services will be done passionately & thoroughly. I understand that dogs deserve the same care as a child. They are dependent on us to make them feel loved and feed them. My home is a cage free home. Your pet will be able to make my house their home away from home. I will take exceptional care of your pet. Available 7 days a week and accept last min bookings. If I’m not physically available I have someone readily available to get your pet until I am available. I am a registered nurse so I work either 8 hours or 12 hours, but I pick the days I want to work . I have a large fenced yard. I am crate free boarding but will crate if you request. We will take 1-2 walks per day & lots of play time in the backyard.

About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.
