“Christine was great. She was very communicative, the dogs loved her, even my cat did. Sent plenty of videos and pictures and made me feel as if my furry babies were in complete comfort and care. Would definitely recommend! We already booked her for another visit!”


“Donovan was great with our pets! We have a dog and three cats at home and he took care of all of them for the weekend. Our dog Odin was especially happy to see him each visit. Thank you Donovan!”


“She’s amazing! Always on time for scheduled visits and she truly cares about animals. My cats Mango and Chai loved her, I always got photos for every visit. I will definitely be asking for her to take care of my cats again!!”


“I am so grateful. Elisa was so patient, kind, and considerate. My dog is 105 and wasn’t doing well with his family being gone. Elisa brought us some peace of mind with her patience and kindness for boo boo. She made sure he was comfortable, and helped relieve some of his stress. I will definitely rebook with her. Thank you again for everything you have done for boo boo.”


About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my patient, attentive care style. I’ve had and babysat several dogs over the years, so I understand the unique personalities and needs each pup can have. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who need a little extra love and gentle handling. I treat every dog like family—whether we’re going on a walk, having playtime, or just relaxing together. You can count on me for dependable, loving care and consistent communication while you're away. As a private contractor, I have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which makes pet care a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. I’m able to dedicate focused time throughout the day for walks, visits, and quality one-on-one attention. Whether it's a morning check-in, mid-day play session, or evening cuddle time, I can easily work around each pet’s needs and schedule. This flexibility allows me to provide dependable, personalized care without ever feeling rushed. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding and walks to playtime and medications—and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you feel confident while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or overnight stay, I’m all about creating a calm, caring experience for your pet.

About: I have experience caring for a wide range of pets—including dogs and cats of all ages, as well as small animals like hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even chickens. Whether it’s walking energetic pups, providing calm companionship for senior pets, or making sure small animals are safe and comfortable, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine care to every visit. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s medication routines, special diets, or just knowing when they need a little extra love and attention. I really take the time to get to know each pet and what makes them feel safe and happy. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and I’m committed to providing a stress-free, trustworthy experience for both pets and their families. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I only work a few hours a day, so I have plenty of free time to give pets the attention they need. I’m home most of the day and always happy to accommodate different schedules, whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m used to managing multiple pets with different needs. Caring for animals isn’t just part of my day, it’s something I truly enjoy. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pet can feel comfortable. I live with two friendly dogs, a social cat, and a bunny who are all used to being around other animals. My backyard is fully fenced, with a small garden, and a tree for shade, perfect for supervised outdoor time. Inside, I keep things clean and relaxed. I can easily separate pets if needed and set up playpens or cozy areas depending on your dog’s comfort level. Whether your pet is playful or prefers their own space, I’m happy to adjust to their needs and make sure they’re always safe and well cared for. I also follow any instructions closely in clients’ homes to maintain routines and comfort.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I have dedicated my career to pet care, transforming my extensive experience into a professional service. Having cared for various pets, from dogs and cats to exotic animals, I have honed my skills through years of pet sitting for family and friends. My commitment to the well-being of animals drives my work, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention and care. I am excited to bring my expertise and love for animals to your home, providing a safe and nurturing environment for your beloved companions. As a dedicated pet caretaker pursuing an online photography course, I offer flexible availability that allows me to provide exceptional one-on-one care for your pets. My goal is to create a fun and loving environment for your furry friend while ensuring their needs are met. With my commitment to individualized attention, your pets will receive the highest level of care and engagement. Let me help you give your pets the attention they deserve while I save towards my future aspirations. Your pets will thrive in my care! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize safety and comfort above all else. I ensure that pets have fresh water at all times and that their living space is tidy and organized. I carefully check for any hazards, removing objects from the floor that could pose a risk to their safety. Treating every animal as if they were my own, I am attentive to their needs and behaviors, allowing me to quickly identify any unusual signs or issues. My genuine love for animals drives me to provide not just care, but a nurturing environment where pets feel secure and happy. Your peace of mind is my priority while your pets are in my care!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and care for animals. I make sure pets have a fun and engaging time while getting their exercise as well. I also have experience with special feeding needs. For example, my senior dog cannot eat alone , so I know how to feed pets gently and safely by hand if necessary. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and try to understand exactly what they need to feel comfortable and happy. As a female college student , I fit my pet care into my weekly routine by dedicating Tuesday and Thursday for house sittings and other services . On those days, I give my full attention to our furry friends, including feeding , exercise, and making sure they are happy, healthy and comfortable. I care for my pets at home by giving them a lot of love, attention, walks , and meals. I have a senior dog and a puppy , and ensure they’re happy and healthy!!

About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was 10. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, bathe, and feed their pets on numerous occasions. I am a college student attending Florida State University and am down for the holidays to spend time with family. I am available almost anytime. In my clients home my goal is to give them and their best friend a paw-sitive experience. Walks, fetch in the yard, food, lots and lots of pets and reassurance that he/she is a good boy/girl and of course treats (I promise not to give too many treats!).

About: Great at reading what pets need whether it’s calming a nervous pup keeping a playful one busy or giving extra love to seniors. I’m reliable and comfortable with meds or special care. New to Rover but excited to meet your furry friend and treat them like my own! I’m currently between jobs, so I have a flexible schedule, especially in the afternoons. I’m happy to meet wherever works best for you and your pet. Caring for pets fits easily into my routine as I prioritize giving them attention, exercise, and companionship during our time together. I do not offer boarding or care at my family’s home, but I’m happy to provide care at your home or a location that’s convenient for you. I focus on creating a calm, safe space for your pet and follow any specific care instructions closely to ensure their comfort and well-being.
