About: I have been with rover, dog bording, since 2018. I love animals, they are my favorite. I pet every dog I see. I have also been around animals my whole life. When I was younger I had a dog named rocky, he was a cocker spaniel and a beagle mix, I had him for 13 years. When we had to put him down part of my soul left, he was my best friend. I know what its like to love your beautiful animals, through hard times they are always there for us. They are all created with beautiful souls, we are so lucky to have something like that by our sides. With that being said, I would love to take in your pet as if it were my own. Thank you for reading. Ps.I do NOT have cats or any animals. For some reason it says I have cats. 🤷‍♀️ I currently am a stay at home mom so I am able to be with your pups all day! I am able to get to know your dog and they dont think im a stranger when they come back! I have a lot of space to take your dog for a walk. We walk in the morning and I take them for a long walk before bed, and to crate if needed.

About: I've been around cats and critters my whole life. Right now I have my sweet Torti Twix and Noche, my mama's boy. I recently lost my soul kitty, Bronson, and would love to be surrounded by more kitties again. I used to have a leopard gecko named Pedro, so bring on your scaled friends as well. Rats, buns, whatever you have! I accept ALL dog breeds! Find me on Facebook at Lor's Pet Sitting! I also volunteer at a no-kill shelter called Focus on Ferals. I have experience humanely administering pills/oral medication. *Trained in feline first aid* A drop-in includes: feeding, potty time/litterbox cleaning, playtime, love & cuddles, enrichment activities, medication administration (if needed), light housework (sweeping, trash, counters, etc), and daily updates with photos/videos. Rover is my full-time gig, which means I'm flexible with my schedule. I'm available mainly for overnight cat boarding and cat/dog drop-ins. I'd also love to walk your dog, whether they're big or small (I love them all)! Please inquire about services provided. I accept ALL dog breeds! My specialty is working with shy or skittish kitties. I'm patient enough to get on their level, approach slowly, earn their trust, and let them know I'm a safe person. It's incredibly rewarding work. I'm also a sucker for the elderly pets.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. Family friends woukd trust me to to take care of their cats and dogs when they went away for a while. I would help take care of the house as well. I love to go for walks with my dogs and go about 3 days a week with my dog Remi. I can watch dogs and cats when my family friends need me too. But also work part time at Pet Supplies Plus so I need a bit more time to plan when I work and when I can stop by and take care of pets. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, follow their normal feeding schedule, provide exercise and playtime, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also administer medication if instructed, keep their environment clean and safe, and update owners with photos and messages. In a client's home, I respect their routines and care instructions to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been responsible for friends and family’s pets since roughly 16, more recently cats in the last 4 years. Plenty of experience all the way from small skittish beagles to large reactive pit mix’s. The key is patience and that’s one thing I can promise with your pet, understanding and dealing with different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors and sometimes even disabilities/health concerns (we love em all). Also have experience with cats, all the way to senior cats with disabilities/health concerns (hearing & kidney failure) to fat cats with spicy attitude, I would like to say I have a plethora of different experience to care for your pet. Lastly, I think I would be a great sitter by being patient and simply understanding what pets mean to people! I do work full time in office but have work from home flexibility, as well as I pick my hours so can be available if needed. I prefer boarding on the weekends but can be available during the week! I can be available to let your dog out every 2 hours if needed, as well as give medication, feed them, and play with them as well. I live in a 1BR Deluxe duplex, have half of the first floor house to myself, so ample room for another or two. Do have liter box, as well as enough space for another if needed. As well as enough space for a dog crate and their favorite toys, food and treats :) My young pit mix has plenty of space shared with Gibby my cat, but they always choose to lay on the same bed together !

About: I work remote so my days are flexible! Please reach out to confirm availability during weekdays. I have raised my own puppy in my own, and grew up with dogs cats. I have experience training and living with large dogs and cats! I am new to offering help professionally, but would love the opportunity to work with animals in my community. I am comfortable with dogs big and small and all activity levels! I am fully remote, so I do have some availability for drop-ins Monday through Friday but it will be dependent on my work schedule! Please reach out and I can confirm if I’m available to check in on your pet. :) I adhere to all instructions you provide me with, whether it’s using a harness, crating dogs, and ensuring no interaction with others if we are out on a walk to avoid any risks if you have a reactive pet. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to your pet.

“Our little Cavapoo loved having Julia stop by to take her for a walk and have some playtime. Julia was very punctual, she took note of all of our instructions, and provided excellent care for our girl. She sent us a great update after the walk with detailed info on the visit and some great pictures of our happy dog. I know our pup is going to look forward to Julia’s next visit!”

About: Grew up with a house full of pets, including several Greyhounds & chickens. 15+ years pet-sitting experience. Former therapy dog handler. Proud cat mom to 11-year-old Finley.

About: Hi there! My name is Madeline and I’m a high school teacher with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with both dogs and cats, as well as a variety of small caged pets, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. One of the dogs I grew up with was blind and had ongoing health issues, so I am very comfortable administering medication and providing patient, attentive care. I now live in a clean, pet-friendly condo with my two friendly cats. One is four years old and the other is two. They are both sweet, social, and used to being around other animals. I have flexible hours and open evenings, which allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and love they need. I am reliable, trustworthy, and truly care about creating a safe and comfortable environment for your furry family members. I work till 3pm on weekdays so I am home a lot. I am a teacher so I work school hours and will be home for the rest of the day. Summer time will provide a lot more flexibility. I have two cats at home who are spoiled to the max. I am a very attentive owner who likes to keep my pets stimulated.

About: If my husband would let me, I’d buy a zoo (come on powerball). I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve never met a pet that I didn’t want to spoil and cuddle. My daughter calls me a “stay at home pet mom”. Most days I’m home all day, with the exception of an occasional errand, appointment, drop ins for other dogs, or maybe a date night. We have 3 rescue kitties, who are like my tiny babies, very spoiled. Bam- who loves to help walk all the pups, and my girls- Pumpkin, and Elsa- who try to avoid visiting dogs at ALL cost. Basically I’m their “do-girl”. They all know how to talk me into extra treats. We also have Cash- a 1.5 year old, 30lb. Cocker Spaniel- who likes to think he’s a 125lb Husky. He hasn’t met a dog, big or small, he doesn’t like. We have a new pup, a female cocker spaniel, Carter. She’s 8 months now, she has appointed herself Official Play Time Supervisor of any and all dog guest- your pups will go home tired. Occasionally our daughter’s Boston Terrier, Franklin will visit, he hasn’t met a person, dog, or cat, he doesn’t like. He’s truly the best boy. I have had to administer meds in the past and don’t mind doing so. Animal caretaking is my full time job and my family is 1000% okay with that. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t want to bring home with me. We just moved from Sparta to Ravenna, and we’re now on 3 acres. Your fur baby is invited and encouraged to make our house their home away from home. They will be well spoiled and loved, as my entire family will be doting on them.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
