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.

“Jordan was fantastic and very responsive!”

“We LOVE Connie ! We have two large dogs she walks on a regular basis & they love her too. She even kept our garage from flooding during a horrible rain storm due to a plugged drain while we were gone ( she unplugged the drain because she was worried the dogs would get flooded and even ruined her umbrella in the process ) . She clearly goes above & beyond for her customers! She is the best !”

“Kathy provides exceptional care to my girl Charlie with every walk! She always provides detailed updates that puts me at ease, takes Charlie on long walks, pays attention to the little things, and always goes above and beyond what I ask of her. She is truly the best and highly recommend to anyone!”

Lindsey S.

“She is amazing. Very responsive. Sends lots of pictures and updates about the walk. I appreciate getting know how long the walk was, the distance, and if they went to the bathroom. She goes above and beyond with washing dog bowls and even changing his clothes”

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: 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 2016, I can not be idle, so I'm reactivating my Rover profile so that I can care for dogs in my home, or care for cats and dogs in your home. When I care for dogs in my home, they are treated as family. No crates, just cuddles. I am retiring as a Nanny and I am reactivating my Rover account. I can take care of your pups in my home while you are away. No crates, just cuddles. I'm also available to come to your home to care for your pets, whether for daily walks or around-the-clock care. I care for cats as well as dogs. 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 have a fenced-in yard area. I will never leave your pups in the yard alone. I always sit with them. I can take them for daily walks as well. I don't use crates/kennels in my home. Your pet will be treated as my two Maltese dogs are.

“Meaghan was so very patient with Fitzy!”

“Very good and attentive!”

“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: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 10 years, so caring for them is second nature to me. From daily walks to long hikes, I understand their energy, needs, and personalities. Spending time outdoors with dogs has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to keep them safe, happy, and stimulated. I am currently a self-employed seamstress, and work part time for my dad’s business Bham Services. I have lots of time and availability to care for your pets as well as mine. I know it can make our babies nervous meeting new people/furry friends so I make sure to keep a gentle approach. I’ll have them sniff me and get to know me as I get to know them as well. I’m very aware of my surroundings and always want any animal to feel safe around me.

About: I'm a big dog person, and I frequently take care of my family's dog while they're away. While I was in college, I often dog-sat for a family friend, staying in their home and taking care of their pet. I'm home for the summer before heading to graduate school, and would love to spend some time with animals! This summer, I am home for a while with completely open days. I'm happy to take on summer holidays or help with mid-day walks, etc. I love to let animals spend their time outside in a safe way, either with a fence or on a leash. I'm also happy to hang out indoors if the dog prefers, and ensure everything is taken care of!

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes and sizes—especially big breeds like my own Great Dane! I treat every animal like family and love getting to know their unique routines and quirks. My calm energy helps pets feel safe and happy. Whether your pup is full of zoomies or just wants cozy cuddles, I’m ready to meet them where they are and give them the love they deserve! I’m here for you and your fur babies!! I do holidays and same day appointments unless i am already booked! I’m here for your emergencies! When I’m in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine like it’s my own. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels safe and relaxed. Whether it’s feedings, walks, medications, or just quality time, I follow your instructions to the letter and give your pet all the love and attention they’re used to.

About: Caring for animals is my jam. My experience is with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I've had my own dogs for over 30 years. Most all animals I come in contact with have a natural understanding that I am safe, caring person. Dog walking, pet sitting, drop-ins, vet appointments, etc. I do it all. One time, I brought a pet fish back to life with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. I’m available to care for your pets in your home, for drop-ins and overnights. I have a flexible, part time job that I can schedule around pet sitting days. I will be available to care for pets in your home according to your schedule. Whether it’s drop-ins, overnights or taking them to their appointments, I’m available and committed to working on your pets’ schedules.

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: I grew up with dogs and started taking care of them at about age 12. I've also taken care of many friend's dogs over the years. I've stayed at their homes to care for them, walked them, and checked in on them. I love dogs and would love to meet and care for yours! I am a college student so pet care fits very well into my schedule since I have a lot of open gaps for walks and check ins! If my housesitting hours don’t fit what you need feel free to contact me and we can try to see if I can make it happen! I promise to care for your pet exactly how you ask. Mostly of course that's making sure they're fed, hydrated, walked, and let out to do their business! But also making sure they are happy and know I'm their friend.

About: I have experience caring for cats, including those with anxiety and overgrooming. I currently care for my own cat and focus on keeping a calm, consistent environment. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, medications, and paying attention to behavior changes. I take time to build trust with each cat and always provide updates and photos. I also grew up with puppies. I have experienced walking, going potty, and playing! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially in the evenings and on weekends. I have a consistent schedule and am available Wednesday through Friday in the evenings and Saturdays during the day. I already care for my own cat daily, so feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with pets is something I’m used to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care and attention. In a client’s home, I follow your cat’s normal routine to keep things as stress-free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and playtime or quiet companionship depending on your cat’s personality. I take a calm, patient approach, especially with shy or anxious cats, and never force interaction. I also monitor behavior, administer medications if needed, and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and grew up helping care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. My dad owns a farm, so I’m very comfortable around larger dogs, including our Bernese Mountain Dog and two German Shepherd mixes, while also caring for smaller breeds like my Yorkie. Over the years, I’ve helped with feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and everyday care, so I’m confident handling different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’ve also dog-sat multiple times for family friends, many of whom have continued to use my services year after year, which I believe speaks to my reliability and trustworthiness. In addition, I have experience caring for multiple pets at once, including senior dogs and households with different types of animals, such as dogs and birds together. These experiences have made me patient, attentive, adaptable, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule. I’ve also grown up around animals my whole life, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and checking in on pets are already a normal part of my day. I enjoy being active and spending time outside, and I’m reliable when it comes to maintaining routines and making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and well attended to. Safety, trust, and comfort are the most important parts of pet care to me. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and cared for in a calm and positive environment. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, feeding instructions, and any special needs to help pets feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owners are away. I also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home. I’m dependable, respectful, and communicative, and I always strive to treat every pet and home with care. Having experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and ages—including senior dogs—has taught me to be patient, attentive, and adaptable in different situations.
