About: Hi! I will be attending college in August for a biology/pre-veterinary degree. After owning pets my entire life, such as 1 dog, 2 cats, fish, mice, and a hedgehog, I am well-versed in all kinds of animals. However, I specialize in senior care or animals with disabilities since a few of my own pets suffer from chronic illnesses. Additionally, I have the necessary time and patience to look after very young animals who require constant attention and interaction. Furthermore, I have pet-sitting experience after pet-sitting for my neighbors for years. My passion for animals and skill set makes me an excellent candidate, thank you! Since this is a summer job, I will be doing this as often as possible with full availability with the exception of June 11-14th and a few other days in June that have not yet been secured. I will be able to take the animal on multiple walks a day as well as playing with the animal as often as needed. Additionally, any medical requirements or medications is something I can certainly handle.

“Ramajana is very attentive and caring! Ramajana goes out of their way to make sure your pets feel welcome, even going above and beyond by hand feeding when my Aussie was on food strike. Thank you for everything that you do :)”

“I recently had the pleasure of booking Anthony as a dog sitter for my two pups, Shiloh and Noël, through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Anthony was absolutely fantastic—professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. He took the time to understand Shiloh and Noël’s unique personalities and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and happy while I was away. Anthony kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. The dogs were clearly having a blast on their walks, and it was obvious they were getting plenty of love and attention. When I returned, Shiloh and Noël were relaxed, well-cared-for, and their tails were wagging like crazy! I highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter.

About: I’ve been dog sitting or living with dogs since 2013. I’ve taken care of both small dogs and dogs up to 120 pounds. I would love to get to know your dog, take them for a walk, or toss their favorite ball or toy to help them burn off some energy. I work from home and am usually done in the early afternoon. I would love to come stop by and check on your pet during lunch or after work! I treat each pet like my own spoiled baby. I want to learn the way they want to be loved and which toys are their favorite. I have a cat who doesn’t like to be pet to I understand each pet is unique and want to make sure they are all comfortable.

About: Animals have been a big part of my life growing up and I love making connections with them. I did some pet sitting during high school and through college. I have two animals of my own and I love them so much. I work from home full time so I can provide exercise and play time often to make sure your animals are happy and healthy with my flexible schedule. I work from home and can bring my laptop anywhere. I need to be more active during my day instead of sitting and this would provide me a way to get moving! Mutually beneficial! I have a fob access secure apartment. I am surrounded by a lot of walkable areas and parks. my own animals are on a feeding schedule so I can easily follow others. Giving animals the stimulation they need is important to me.

About: As a kid I cared for my dog, Pixie a Jack Russel mix for ten years. I have done volunteer at the SPCA and had experience working with large animals such as horses. Every now and then I help my friend walk two, one hundred plus Rottweilers. I currently have a job where I work on Monday through Friday 8 am to 5pm. I am available anytime after five pm. Weekends I am free all day. I make sure pets have water and that the dogs are let out at least every two to four hours. If the own has left any instances, I will be sure to follow them

“Jeremy is the best! My dog loves him. He’s super consistent and friendly, clearly very knowledgeable about taking care of all kinds of doggos. Glad we found him!”

Sadie H.Star Sitter
“Sadie is our awesome next-door neighbor, and she’s been our go-to cat sitter for years anytime we head out of town. She adores our cats—like, truly looooooooves them—and the feeling is mutual. Sometimes she even asks to stop by just to hang out with them when we’re home, which says a lot about how much she genuinely enjoys their company (and vice versa!). Sadie is incredibly smart, super dependable, and has a calm, gentle way with animals that makes her a natural caregiver. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust her with even the most sensitive or high-maintenance pets. We’re so lucky to have her close by—she’s part of our extended furry family!”
