About: Being a dog owner of 15 years, while having many other wonderful pets I have always been around animals. Whether it is my own or my relatives pets and my friends pets as well. I always had an inclination to want to help and care for their animals if they ever needed help because I understand that they are family to us and I am someone who will care for your animal as if it were my very own. I work full time. I get back from work usually between 4:15pm and 4:45pm. But that doesn’t mean I won’t take the time out of my day to take great care of your pets! I am available Monday-Friday 5pm and 10pm. Saturdays 11am-5pm Sundays 10pm-6pm I value respecting one’s pet or pets as if they are family. I will treat your pet/s with respect, love, and care. I will do exactly the same In regards to respecting your home, belongings and privacy.

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.


“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”


About: I've always loved dogs since I was little but never actually had one. On a drive up to my dad's job, is when my birthday wishes had finally come true. My dad and I had rescued my dog, Ebby, from a busy nearby highway and since that day my love for dogs has grown even more. All I've ever wanted to do was make them as happy as they made me. I've owned my dog for nearly 10 years now and our bond is still strong, even after my four years spent up at college. I look forward to walking a bunch of dogs using this Rover app and I am also willing to take them on little runs if it's okay with the owners!

“Nieves is a wonderful caregiver. She is very thoughtful and goes beyond expectations. We are extremely fortunate to have found her.”


“Andie has been so sweet with Oreo, and I would happily have her watch him again!”


About: I started taking care of my friends dog for about a year now. Before going on vacation, they would bring their dogs care stuff and a scheduled list and times he would eat. I would play, feed and bathe the dog. I work per diem at the hospital so I take care of your dog anytime. I’m flexible. Just let me know ahead of time so I can coordinate with my work schedule. I have a fence and a decent size backyard. I can follow a scheduled regime for your dogs needs. I used to have a dog so I understand the importance of taking care of your dog with the upmost care.

About: I have 4 cats. I have lived with cats most of my life and I have taken care of them for over 15 years. I am also a dog lover. I have cared for multiple cats for a rescue at Petco. Friends, neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets as well, mostly cats. I am currently working in the dental field and I have time for my passion of taking care of pets, especially cats. I have little restrictions, as I am not married and have no children, however, I do have 4 cats of my own. I would prefer to take care of pets at the client's home, as I have 4 cats that live with me in my lovely home.

About: I have two cats and one dog who I have taken care of since I was in elementary school. I'm very compassionate and alert to their needs and love to play with them and give them lots of love I am currently a 21 year old college student who attends University of Delaware. This is my third summer doing Rover. I had an amazing experience last summer and it was super fun! I will follow your guidance as to what your pets needs are and take the time to get to know your individual pets temperament. I will also make sure your pets have lots of fun!

About: I have had pet cats and dogs for most of my life, have been focused on taking care of them as soon as I became 12. I have had cats, dogs, fish, all with varying health conditions. I know how to feed a pet pills, when to, how to keep a schedule for them, to care for them with love, spend time with them, and just to be around to help them. My Chocolate Labrador I had suffered from an enlarged esophagus, she had to eat in a specific way or she wouldn't keep down her food. She lived long and happy, even though most vets said to put her down when she was a puppy. I do not give up on a pet that wants to live, and will work happily to care and recuperate it. My current pet, a Russian Blue cat, has a problem with his thyroid, where he has to be given a pill every dinner and breakfast. I am able to sneak the pill easily into his food so he can eat it easily. I keep a tight schedule in feeding him that doesn't intrude on my other work or chores. I have driven my cat from veterinarians office to my home on several occasions, including my dog, and always drive easy and comfortable so that my pets won't get worried on the trip, or get tossed around. I even go on test drives for my cat so he gets comfortable in a moving car and doesn't worry about where he is going. I treat my pets with care, love and respect, and I treat my job entirely important and work as if I was working for myself. I will follow any and every rule you set for your pet, and treat them as my own. If you need me to drive them, walk them, care for them with medicine, their is nothing I won't be able to do for you and your pet.

About: I’ve always been a reliable and dependable pet helper over the years. Whether it’s going away on vacations, being stuck late night at work, or whatever other various issues keep owners from their dogs, I’ve been called upon to care for my closest friends and family’s best fur friends! I have a boxer myself, and she gets her exercise! We walk and play regularly, and she is such a good girl. I look forward to care for your pets the same way I do mine. Right now, Wed & Thu I’m free from 4-8, Sat 12-5, and Sun 10-2. I am a teacher, so as the school year comes to a close and summer heats up, I will adjust my availability during the week. I have experience with crate training as I’ve personally done that with my dog. Between play, walks, and meals, I will make sure your dog is cared for properly and with love.
