About: I’ve had pets in my life for as long as I can remember. My first childhood pet was a sweet dachshund named Greta. In my adulthood, I have been caring for my own pets for the past 26 years. We love to have our dogs Bertie and Chester near us wherever we are, indoors and outdoors. More recently, we have welcomed two incredible cats, Belle and Zesty, into our family as well. In my experience, having pets truly makes life better. I would welcome spending time with your pet, whether in your home or out on a walk, and would care for them as I would one of the pets in my own family. I am comfortable caring for active pets as well as seniors who are moving a little slower these days. I am taking some sabbatical time away from my full-time profession, so I have lots of time and energy available to care for your furry friends (as well as my own dogs and cats). I believe that pets make our lives better, and in turn I am committed to making their lives as comfortable and enjoyable as I possibly can. You can depend on me being detail-oriented and conscientious; I will stick closely to the instructions you share with me about how best to provide for your pet’s needs while you are away (as regards schedule for feeding, cat litter box tending, dogs being taken outside, medications to administer, and so on). As someone who has entrusted my own pets to the care of sitters over the years, I understand the importance of making sure my clients’ dogs and cats get lots of loving care and undivided attention, in addition to providing for their physical needs.

About: As a responsible, middle-aged professional with a lifelong love of animals, I bring maturity, trustworthiness, and genuine care to every pet I look after. Whether you’re heading out for a few hours or a full vacation, you can count on me to treat your pet like they’re my own—with affection, structure, and plenty of playtime. I work from home, which means I can often adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs—whether that’s a midday walk, drop-in visit, or extended overnight care. I’m especially available on evenings and weekends, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate special requests. I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their home environment and understand the importance of respecting your space. I’m confident with crate-trained pets, administering basic medications, and making sure everything is secure when I leave. Cleanliness, safety, and attention to detail are always my priorities.

About: I love dogs and have taken care of them all my life! I recently lost my companion of 12 years in April 2026, Finley, who passed onto the rainbow bridge due to old age. Finley was a 120lb gentle giant, so I am highly experienced with large breeds and dogs of all sizes. Whether you have a Great Dane or a Pomeranian, I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. Being a dog lover while no longer having one has been heartbreaking for me, but it also means that I now have the opportunity to hangout with your pup! :) I only ask for a week in advance notice and prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand to see if we align. Take a look at my calendar and see what works for you! I work my day job Thursday through Sunday and am currently available for house sitting Sunday night through Thursday morning and drop-in visits M, T, W. I am available to come to your home or your dog is welcome to stay at mine! I live in a 900 Sq. Ft. apartment with plenty of space for a small or medium dog or a low activity older large breed. I have two orthopedic beds that are cleaned thoroughly after each stay and two dog bowls.

About: I had a pet-sitting service for 15 years, and then I started caring for dogs in my home through Dog Vacay. I took a break to care for my ailing mother and then I became a Nanny to a newborn boy. He is now 4 years old and my services are no longer needed. I am also a missionary to Uganda. I've been helping with a woman's ministry since 2007. I can not be idle, so I'm reactivating my Rover profile. I’m available for Drop-In visits or House Sitting. I am retiring as a Nanny and I am reactivating my Rover account. I’m not taking care of pets in my home, but I can come to you; Drop-Ins and House Sitting. While I am in your home, I will also bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, and bring in or take out your trash bins. I can come to you, Drop-Ins or House Sitting. While I’m there with your pets, I will also bring in your mail, trash in & out, water your plants, etc.

“Jessica is great! Out of all the pet sitters we’ve had, our animals like her the most. She’s very patient with our anxious dog and elderly cat. She’s also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fish and aquatic creatures! Whenever she house sits for us I know we’ll be coming home to a very clean house as well. She is punctual, personable, great with communication, sends pictures and updates, and it’s obvious that she loves animals. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have had pets all my life. I have 2 dogs and 1 cats they get a long with all their pet friends. We have regulars that come over for the holidays and vacations. My home is open to all pets no restrictions. We like to make it feel like home when they are here. I work from home so there is lots of love thru out the day and play time outside. We have a dog door so they can go outside when they want and come in when wanting to hang out in the A/C. Also there is a pool for pups to swim and have fun if they want. I am so super flexible with times and making it easier on everyone.

“So happy Ute was able to pick up my last minute request to walk my day midday! Amazing!”

About: I grew up with and have cared and loved for a variety of dogs for my whole life. I am patient and capable of taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently working from home and have availability during the day and I am available to watch your pets overnight in the comfort of your home. I can provide appropriate care for your dogs in your home or take them on a fun walk during the day. I will love them as I love our dogs.

About: Since I was young I’ve been raised around cats and dogs (12 to be exact), loving animals is a lifetime commitment to me! Whenever my parents would go out of town, I would be in charge of keeping the house safe and our pets. This includes the typical responsibilities as well as providing medical care to our older pets, diabetes shots daily, hip and joint treats with every dinner, even temporary medicines after small procedures. Since I was young, my mother and I were a part of a nonprofit organization run by her best friend called pawsitive difference in Las Vegas, this entailed, not only volunteering at adoption meets, but also even as far as picking up strays off the street taking them to get medical care and fostering until we found them homes. I’ve loved every pet I’ve had temporarily and long-term, along with all the ones I’ve yet to meet! As far as my experience goes, I’ve pet sit for my own as well as friends of the family and for other great dog sitters. I’m doing this until I get my own dog just because I miss having one in the house since moving and I would love nothing more to help your fur babies in any way I can! I’m currently always home taking care of house day-to-day errands until I start hair school in a few months so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I live in suburban neighborhood of mostly families, which is great for walking dogs and lots of grass to play in. I do like to walk with a leash just for safety purposes, even if your pets are trained to not need one to prevent any unnecessary issues. I do have a friendly very old cat, but she mostly stays in my roommates bedroom sleeping the day away, so there won’t be much contact with her and your pet will have my full attention!

About: I have taken care of animals most of my life i am new the Rover community but I do have kennel technician experience and dog bather experience along with drop by visits. I do have to walk or be driven by my mother since I don't have a license and or car because I have epilepsy and hydrocephalus. Despite my disabilities I am a very hard worker and always make sure the fur babies are safe and taken care of. I do have four dogs and a cat also. I have been around all sorts of dogs and or cats along with other animals so I don't scare easily and I am very patient with them. If you are willing to take a chance on me I will not let you down I wake up and take care of my five dogs as soon as I get up. Two of them take meds and I give it to them if my grandma doesn't do it for her two Goldens I let them outside feed them give them water give them their medicine and make sure they are taken care of. If something is wrong with one of them I will find it

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for well over 10 years now. I have 1 dog that is a rescue, so I have experience with working with reactive, timid dogs. Growing up, I also had a dog with severe diabetes, so I am familiar with administering insulin shots as well. I work hybrid-remote, so the days I’ve listed as available for walks and drop-ins are super flexible and I’m happy to coordinate with customers to find the best times that fit their dog’s needs! I love it when pet owners leave me notes on the specific things their pets might need! I’m happy to follow all directions, regularly feed and take them out to the bathroom if necessary, and play with them/spend time with them!

“Connie goes the extra mile with Scrubs. Being a night shift nurse my schedule can be crazy. Connie has always been understanding and compassionate. She sends me fun photos and gives me a wonderful update about Scrubs. She walks her, plays with her and gives her lots of love. Could not ask for anyone better! Carrie C.”

“Kaylene was amazing! My original Rover Walker bailed the first day. I was frantic! Kaylene responded quickly and was able to start the next day! Piper loved having Kaylene for walks every day. Informative notes, many pictures, and genuine care for our pup. Awesome service and just friendly and kind!!”

About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I'm one of those people who, before I came out of my shell, spent more time with animals than people. Sometimes I still do. I've had dogs and cats all my life, and also rode horses starting just before I was 4. I have 9 years of experience on Rover and another 2 independently dog walking and sitting before that. I’ve cared for many kinds of dogs and cats, fish, turtles, donkeys, a family of racoons, and more. And I have a lot of experience caring for older animals and animals with medical conditions. I also used to volunteer with my mom transporting rescue dogs with Echo Dog White German Shepherd rescue. I am a homebody for the most part, so once I'm there I'm probably not going anywhere. My capital W Work is writing - I'm 13 years into an elven magic realism epic screenplay/novel series, it is my passion project and pet/housesitting gives me the time to tend to that vision, and fur babies to keep me company! Walking and playing with them keeps me active and in my beloved nature. It is a great joy to give people peace of mind while they travel, knowing their home and furbabies are in good hands. I know how stressful it can be - I was born in the Northeast and then moved to Nashville when I was 12 so my mom and I would drive up there to visit family, but we would often bring our dog and cats with us on that 13 hr ride because we didn’t have anyone we trusted to watch them. It’s a great time, unless it’s a family emergency. Now, I get to be that person for other people! My clients relaxing, knowing that they can have fun or do what needs doing and that their fur babies are taken care of at home - that is priceless and never gets old. If you have 3 or more pets, I'm happy to give a discount. I know how hard it can be trying to find care for them when you have many. Feel free to reach out! Pets are family. I will make sure they receive the best care possible! I'm a night owl myself when I'm home but whatever their routine is, I will stick to that as much as I can. For dogs, walks are included in housesitting if you want that. And any plant and garden care etc. Totally depends on your and your pet's needs. I'm so excited to look after your fur baby!
