“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”
“Jane is really the sweetest and so accommodating. She stays in communication during the walk before and after. Our Pup really enjoys her, so much he couldn’t wait to get in the crate today and have me leave for work so he could go for a walk with her ❤️?”
About: I can’t imagine a day without caring for a dog or a cat. Dogs and cats make our days the best days. I’m available full time this is my passion, I spend everyday working with animals big and small, furry or winged. Yes, I also care for chickens! I care for senior dogs, adult dogs, puppies, all ages and kittens and cats. I have also worked in the past with animals as a Veterinary Assistant. I have time available for your furry friend as needed. Weekdays or on the weekends,I’m available to visit or go out for a walk or play in the yard.Give me a woof or meow. I’ll follow your instructions regarding pet care. I’ll send pictures of your dog or cat during a drop in visit or and on his/her walk and playtime. 🐾
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and horses for as long as I remember. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a few years. Any family pets we've had (cats, dogs, and horses) have lived all the way up to their senior years (and even passed the "intended age range" of their breed). I'm working full time from Wednesday to Saturday 10 am to 8:30 pm (sometimes upwards to an hour longer there) But I'm available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. If it's just to walk your pet or drop in, I can come over before work. I can house sit starting Sunday, but can't stay until I have to go to work Wednesday. I absolutely love pets and will treat them like my own. I can't board or take them to my house. I'll keep them safe while in my care. I have always been an animal lover since I can remember. So their safe in my hands when I'm walking them, coming for a drop in, or house sitting. Due to my work schedule, I am available Sunday through Tuesday for walking, drop ins, and house/dog sitting. I can either spend part of my day or my whole day with your pet. I try to fit in as much time with my animals as I can. Taking my dog for a walk, groom my familys horses, and even cuddle with my cats. I can make some exceptions with house sitting and drop ins. HOUSE SITTING: I'll gladly accept! If i am in college as well, I'll bring my laptop to work on homework. DROP INS: I will come in before work (around 8 am) to feed/walk them and I can come in after work for a check up (around 9 or 10 pm). If your yard is fenced in, I will gladly sit outside with your pet. Maybe even take a book with me so your dog can stretch their legs, play for a little bit and get some fresh air for a while. I will treat your dogs and cats like their my own and give them as much care as I can along with play times.
About: I have worked with dog trainers so I know some training skills needed to help some pups. I also can administer meds if needed. I have had farm animals so I have that experience as well. I am looking to fill some time with some animals because of my love for them. I take care of everything from farm animals to cats. I can watch small dogs at my home. I have gates and a safe environment. I am more than willing to watch pets in the clients home to make them feel safe.
“Derek was great with Jasper. He was able to assist us with walking him on short notice, and was very responsive and communicative. I would recommend Derek to anyone who needs their pup walked!”
“Sabrina has been great with Max; she has taken him on several walks and he is always excited to see her. You can tell she really cares about your pets as if they were her own.”
About: As a veterinary assistant, I bring a strong foundation in animal health and safety to every pet I care for. I’m trained to recognize discomfort, administer medications if needed, and respond calmly and effectively in case of emergencies. Beyond the clinical side, I have a genuine love of spending time with animals and understand the importance of keeping them not only safe but also happy and emotionally supported while their families are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to combine professional veterinary knowledge with a deep sense of compassion. I have experience working with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior pets who may require special accommodations or extra care. I strive to treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them the love, attention, and comfort they deserve. Whether it’s a playful or quiet companion, I adjust my care to suit each pet’s individual personality and needs. As a college student, I am using my free time to maximize community outreach and volunteer experience. My schedule is very flexible and open to accommodations! I typically meet pets where they are, if they prefer to play or just lay down and sleep, I can adjust to them! If needed, I can also be firm in setting boundaries that align with their specific training.
About: Hi, I’ve owned all types of animals my entire life like dogs, cats, bunnies and birds. I currently work at a pet resort, where I look after pets every day, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or feeding time. I treat every animal like my own. I’m also well trained in giving medications or any type of special care! I know how important your pets are, and I’m here to give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work at a pet resort where I work all types of hours, from Tuesday-Saturday. I can work anywhere from 6AM-6PM but I’m very flexible with fitting you and your pups into my schedule! Since I have so much experience with animals, I’m okay with helping out with almost anything you need for your pets! Whether it’s cleaning, potty breaks, playing, feeding, medications. I’d love to just spend some time with your pet and be their friend! I do not take pets to my home as I have reactive animals, but I’m always okay with commuting to yours!
About: I have three dogs of all ages in my home. One of 9, one is 3, and one is 6 months! All dogs all ages and sizes deserve all the love and attention. The trick to dog care is knowing the signs dogs give you. All dogs go at there own speed! I currently have lots of time on my hands therefore gives me a lot of time to get to know and love some fur babies! I believe all dogs are happier when active, weather that's playing fetch or a slow pace walk. Always make sure they get the play time they need and lots of treats of course!
About: I've had animals in my life all 33 years, I love caring for dogs part time to assist others when they need a home for their dogs to relax in, or even in the comfort of their own home! I have cats, so I am VERY used to routine (otherwise I get a paw to the face!) All joking aside, I'd love to work with your animals on the weekends. I am very adaptable to your needs, and I am comfortable with animal care in any way/shape/form. I have several friends that I assist in caring for and can provide references if needed. Thank you.
“I am so glad I found Tiffany on Rover. She’s very knowledgeable and treats Zuko very well. Coming from out of state she had made finding a dog walker super easy. She’s very accommodating and would definitely recommend her!”
About: Although always a pet owner and lover, we have opened our home to foster pets over the last five years. We have had small litters of puppies, kittens, have helped train and socialize and can offer quiet space for shy animals to decompress. We are an active family and would ensure dogs are getting lots of outdoor time in a safe and loving environment. I have the benefit of working from home so I am always available. I have flexibility to take breaks if attention is needed, and have also had experience with plenty of middle of the night wake-ups for puppies not quite ready to make it through the night. Whether in my home or yours, I will always ensure to stick to the pet’s routine and comfort level so that their stress levels are low and their needs are met.
About: Dogs have always been my favorite animal since I can remember! I love all breeds and will walk, feed, play with, cuddle & love every pup I am entrusted with. Working with dogs is my dream job and you can be assured that I will be 100% responsible with your pets. After all- they're part of your family! This is what i do for a living, so i have open availability and have the opportunity to be very flexible! I take care of dogs daily and love it I have a big open yard and field, both with a long run for your dogs to be on outside. I can take them for a walk on the property leashed (unless trained off leash) and can also provide a loving and safe home for them while youre away. I have a crate here and beds! And will always be attentive to their wants and needs.
About: I have had pets in my life since I was a baby. We have enjoyed a lab, standard poodle and currently a mini cocker spaniel poodle mix. I love getting outside and being active with pets. I am at home with my daughter most of the time and I enjoy doing side hustles like selling vintage clothing online and seeking out antiques. We get outside with our dog, Carl often and would love to get a chance to offer outside time and love to other pets on Rover too! I always approach pets slowly with care and love. They feel our energy big time and have so much to share with us when we give them the chance.
About: I’ve had experience watching pets and dog walking for several years. I’m primarily looking to do drop ins or walking in the mornings, but am flexible and open to other offers, especially during the summertime! I am a teacher looking supplement some of my income and fill my time during my summer off. I enjoy being active so I’m very open to caring for energetic dogs and puppies! Your dogs safety will always be my number one priority. I am willing to learn about the individual needs of the pets I care for.
“I am so impressed with Mallory and James! They are so sweet and I can just tell by watching the videos they send me that my dog is so happy and excited to spend time with them! Thank you!”

“Jennifer has loved animals for her entire life. She loves to care for them and genuinely loves spending time with them. When choosing someone to care for your precious pets, you want someone that will care for them as if they were their own. This is 100% the kind of care you will get with Jennifer. That comfort and peace of mine is priceless!”
Lila P.
“We currently have an almost 70lb pitbull mix named Dutchess. She is a sweetheart, snuggle dog. Unfortunately, due to the bad reputation of pitbulls, if Dutchess so much as barks at someone...they automatically fear her. Being a fearful dog herself, she becomes even more defensive. If you don't trust me, why should I even trust you? Lila, however, gave Dutchess a chance. Lila took the time to get to know the true Dutchess showing her compassion, patience, and most importantly trust. I truly appreciate Lila giving Dutchess a chance, something most do not give her the luxury of. Dutchess can also pull at times but with some bribery of treats, it seems Lila is able to manage well. You can tell Lila has a love for animals, you can hear it when she talks about her pets and the other animals she cares for. I would recommend Lila to any others who are in need of someone to take care of their beloved fuzzy, or possibly non fuzzy, family members.”
