“Monica did a great job taking care of our cat. She was on time and responsive and very friendly with us and our cat. I highly recommend hiring her to take care of your pet!”


“Shannon was so lovely to work with and did an amazing job checking in on my cat, Waffles when I was out of town for several days. I would definitely ask her to drop by again in the future. It was so reassuring to know Shannon would be checking in on her daily, and Shannon provided great updates and was very communicative.”


“Francine was such a blessing to find ! She was very communicative and easy to work with even on short notice. She was punctual, professional and polite, and took time each day to let me know how my kitty was doing by sending me photos to enjoy. I was able to relax and appreciate my vacation so much more knowing my cat was in good hands while I was gone. I happily recommend her !”


About: I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby home alone. One of the biggest concerns pet owners have is trust: Will my sitter be careful? Will my pet be safe and loved? That’s exactly what I offer—peace of mind. I’m dependable, no-nonsense, and I’ll treat your pet like family. I care for animals of all kinds, from yappers to deep howlers, shy cats to cuddle monsters, and even our little loves like guinea pigs and fish. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a game of fetch, or just quiet companionship, I’m there. And when it comes to feline royalty, I respect boundaries and give love on their terms. Services include: * Dog walking & playtime * Cat care & companionship * Feeding, medication, litter & cleanup * Daily check-ins or overnight stays * Lots of love, attention, and belly rubs Hi, I’m Annie! I’m a 35-year-old union plumber by trade and a lifelong animal lover with a heart full of care and compassion. I work from 6am to 2:30pm M-F I’m available to drop in anytime after 3pm during the week. Weekends are open. I don’t drink or smoke, and I take pet care seriously—your furry (or scaly, feathered, or hooved) family members will be treated like my own! I currently care for two beloved chihuahuas, including one senior pup who is deaf and requires daily medication, so I’m very experienced with elder pets and special needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from fish to steers and just about everything in between. Whether it’s walks, feeding, medication, playtime, or just good company, I offer dependable and loving care while you’re away.

“Jessica is wonderful and reliable dog sitter/walker. She has been coming to me house twice a week for a month to interact with my 10 month old hyper puppy. Lucy actually loves her and misses her on her off days. I would definitely recommend Jessica for your dog sitting!!”


“Thank you for being so amazing! I appreciate your quick help. I will add you to my favorite list.”


About: I grew up in a house where we always had pets. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals starting with my own 2 pups I have helped raise since I was 10! One of which lived to be 15 years old. I have experience caring for senior cats, large breed dogs, puppies, a bunny, and even some chickens! Whether it’s going for a walk or just keeping your pet company, I treat any pet like family. Big or small, young or senior. I hope you can consider helping me get started on the Rover app! I’m currently volunteering in a research lab as I prepare for graduate school, which gives me a flexible weekly schedule. This allows me to dedicate focused, reliable care to the pets I work with. I’m happy to adjust my availability week to week to best support you and your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and calm, you know them best! I am committed to building trust through clear communication and dependable care.

About: Hi ya! I've been a pet owner since I was a little kid. I've been around all different breeds, sizes and ages, and have yet to meet a doggy I didn't like. I currently work remotely in a spacious clean apartment. Although I don't have my own companion at the moment, I am able to spend time assisting others with their pet's needs. I think the most important thing is that these family members feel loved and get the attention they deserve. Thank you! I work from home in a project based job. I can work from anywhere as long as my laptop can come along. It’s just me on my own for most of the day so I have plenty of time to step away and keep an eye on any furry friends. I live in a second story apartment with a small patio. For the most part, pets would remain inside supervised. On walks, this small community has plenty of yardage, away from busy streets and high traffic areas.

About: Experienced, reliable, and loving pet care for all breeds and ages—walks, playtime, meds, walks and more. Compassionate, attentive, and always putting your pet’s safety first. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to love and care for your furry family members. I can spend as much or as little time with them needed. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and administering any medications as instructed. I also provide regular updates with photos and notes, so you feel connected while you’re away. I respect your home—cleaning up after pets, securing doors, and maintaining a calm, safe environment at all times.

“She was amazing with my dog patient, kind, and went above and beyond to make my dog comfortable. Really appreciate her care! Highly recommend.”


“She did fantastic! Was very polite and respectful, and I know my dogs had a great time with her. Would 10/10 book again!”

I work 3 days a week so I’m available at all kinds of weird hours for walks or drop ins! Unfortunately I cannot board animals in my home at this time but am flexible and able to come to you. If I'm off work, I am typically free at all hours of the day. I’ll play with your kitties in the home and take your dogs on walks all over the neighborhood! I also am open to taking them to dog parks if that is something you are interested in. I will ensure that your pet is comfortable and safe always.

About: I have a wide range of experiences and skills ranging from puppies and kittens to senior dogs that need medication and reptiles that need constant humidity. I am a professional house and pet sitter as my main source of income so I'm available to dedicate as much time as needed to your pets and furry family members. This is what I do! I watch pets and homes 24/7/365. Never hesitate to reach out for last minute needs or extended stays in your home with or without defined end dates. I do not host at my home but prefer to meet animals where they are most comfortable. I'm also very open to minor house cleaning and/repair requests if it is within my capacity.

About: I’ve always had pets since I was a kid. My current pup is 15 and she’s been with me since her litter was rescued 15 years ago.

I take pride in giving any pet their best life and loving on them! Even if it’s just for a day! Any chance I get to hang out with fur babies, I take it! I work 3 nights a week so I have a pretty flexible schedule. It rotates and it gives me plenty of time to be at home and available for pet care My pup is my best friend. I also have 2 cats which I am actually allergic to, so I am very particular on keeping a clean home so that everyone can live in harmony. And that will carry over to my care for you furry friends. My focus is to take the best care of them while also maintaining a neat and tidy space for them and you!

“If you need a pet sitter who is reliable, responsible and caring, you won't find a better person than Annie. Annie has cared for our 2 elderly Corgis for their entire lives when we travel, or are otherwise unable to be at home to meet their needs. One is on a special diet, and both take medication. I trust her 100% to feed and medicate them properly. She is also very alert to changes in their health status. Our dogs love her, and get excited when we say her name. We never worry when they are in her care. Annie is a dog lover herself, and she won't let you or your pets down.”

Irania N.
“Irania will be an amazing dog sitter and any dog will be lucky to be under her care. She is an extremely kind, dedicated, and responsible young lady. For as long as I can remember I have always seen Irania caring for a pet. She seems very comfortable with animals and knows how to attend to their needs...and the pups love her! From a very young age she was responsible for pets. Given that she is the youngest in her family the pets always became her responsibility. She would play with them, walk them, groom them, and cuddle with them at night. Her last dog was literally obsessed with her. He would refuse to let anybody get on her bed besides him and he would attempt to run away from home when Irania was at school. Aside from caring for her pets, Irania would also manage to care for her family. She has helped raise her 8 year old nephew from the moment he was born and he absolutely adores her. She is a very responsible and caring person and any pet (or child) would be lucky to have her as a sitter.”
