About: I have Pet Sitting Insurance, WFH, & accept only one furry friend at a time! For safety reasons, please do not book me if your dog is not leash trained. My name is Ericka and I got my first dog, Sadie, at 16. When I was 21, I got my own dog Frannie while in college. I have been pet sitting for friends and family the past five years and have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety and senior dogs. I have experience with giving dogs eyedrops and pills via pill pockets. I can administer medication like these. I would need to know if your dog has any aggression towards receiving medication or if they like to sneakily spit pills out. I currently work from home full time, so your furry friend will be constantly supervised! I will be able to play with them when they want and provide many potty breaks throughout the day. I live in a second floor apartment where there are stairs. If your dog is not crate trained that is okay - I work from home and your dog will be constantly supervised.

“Bayli did a wonderful job with my pups!! We had her come for several home visits a day to care for my senior dogs. She was fantastic about sending me great photos of them and giving them lots of love. I was nervous to leave them as one of my dogs has an illness that requires some special care. Bayli took such good care of her that I was able to be away from home without being constantly worried. I would use her again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her services, I was very impressed!”
“Gianna is absolutely wonderful! She took such beautiful care of my kitty, and was so understanding and communicative with some last minute unforeseen changes. I’m looking forward to my next trip so Tom (Kitty) can visit with her again!”

“I love Mariah she is the best she communicates a lot with me about the safety of my baby any questions she has she also updates me on everything if my baby is eating or not if she uses the bathroom she also lets me know when she is on the way to my house when she leaves and where she leaves all my baby stuff she goes above and beyond ur missing out if u don’t book with her”
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.
“Brandon provided exceptional service, and I would highly recommend him. He went above and beyond to ensure our pet, Bruno, was well cared for, and we truly couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. Despite the short notice, Brandon made himself available, which allowed us to proceed with our trip when we thought it might not be possible. He checked on Bruno in our home, and we felt completely comfortable and confident having him there. We are very grateful to have found Brandon and would confidently recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated pet sitter.”


“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!”

I can't say enough good things about our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our German Shepherd, Remi, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt connected while we were away. Remi absolutely adored her! What really stood out was the attention to detail: she always left long, thoughtful notes about how the day went, if Remi ate or drank, and even little things like how long they played outside. On top of that, she sent tons of adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she truly cared about Remi, not just as a job but as a genuine animal lover. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and incredibly thorough. Remi can’t wait to see her again!

Elizabeth is the BEST!!! She's kind and super dependable!!! I went through a few Rover sitters and Elizabeth was the best fit for us!

She gets 10 stars on a 5 star scale from us! Thank you Liz! You are AMAZING!!!!!!! We really appreciate you.

OMG! Elizabeth is the best!!! She is kind, she's dependable and she loves our doggies and boy do they live her! We are SO grateful for her.
