About: Hello, Pet Parent! 🐾 I'm Shar! I'm a movement educator, yoga instructor, running coach, certified dog trainer and, above all, a genuine animal person. Even though I’m new to Rover, I’m a highly experienced (16+ years) pet caregiver and am ready to share my love and expertise with your pet. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just cuddles, your pet will be treated like family in the most caring hands. Animals hold a special place in my heart. I cared for my own baby boy, Bear, for over 14 wonderful years, until his recent passing. I even used to pet-sit with my little sidekick, making lots of new furry friends along the way! I’m experienced with both dogs and cats, comfortable administering medication, skilled at handling dogs with reactive behavior, and I have a soft spot for senior pets who deserve that extra TLC. As an avid lover of the outdoors, your pet will enjoy lots of fresh air, happy walks, and exciting sniffing adventures. I offer exclusive, individualized pet care. I do not walk or care for multiple pets at the same time, unless it’s approved by the pet parent beforehand. I’ll send you daily photo/video updates and am happy to hop on a live FaceTime call so you can check in on your baby whenever you miss them. I am self-employed and work from home in the wellness and fitness industry, which gives me the flexibility to adapt to both your and your pet's needs. My schedule is flexible and can easily be adjusted to ensure your pet receives the best care possible, including frequent walks, human companionship, and plenty of attention. FYI: At the moment, I’m not accepting regular dog-walking clients, but I’m happy to take your fur baby out occasionally! I offer exclusive, individualized walks and/or hikes tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m experienced with reactive dogs, hyperactive pups, non-stop barkers, and more. Some pet parents ask me to take their more energetic dogs on 2-3 hour hikes in the woods. I call it a "Doggie Spa Day in the Forest," and the pups absolutely love it! I have easy access to several spacious parks and scenic tree-lined areas right outside my door, perfect for adventurous walks or playtime. If your dog enjoys exercise, I’m an avid runner and would be more than happy to take them on a run, a long hike, or a fun, active outing to burn off some energy. Whether it’s exploring trails or enjoying the open air, your dog will have a blast. At home, they’ll be showered with plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and cozy moments, making it feel like a relaxing vacation away from home. And, of course, they’ll be rewarded with treats for being the sweet lovebug they are!
“Kim takes excellent care of our kitties when we’re away. I’m confident they’re in good hands and she sends me photos and updates each day. Kim is also a great communicator and I always feel like we’re on the same page. Book Kim today, she’s wonderful.”
“Megan was great and very attentive. She was prompt and took great pics of my cats and was very much in touch with me the whole time I was away”
“Shelly has been checking on my doggie, few times per week on regular basis, for the past few weeks. She is very kind, caring, reliable and on time... My puppy has had some GI issues couple of times during this time and Shelly has been very caring for her. My little pooch luvs Shelly so much! she looks at the door, excited, looking for Shelly when ever I mention Shelly’s name! I’ve been feeling really at ease and peaceful, when I know she is coming to check on my doggie. Thank you very much Shelly :)”
About: I owned two dogs up until the age of 16 and loved them dearly. I often took my dogs out for long walks and played with them to make sure they were always active & engaged. Since then, I’ve dog/cat sat for numerous friends and neighbors throughout and post college. I always treat others’ animals with the same love and care as I did with my own! I currently work from home, so I have the flexibility to walk or play with your dog before 9am or in the afternoon and evenings if needed! Unfortunately I am unable to host at this time due to my resistance not allowing dogs, but I am available to dog sit in your home! I will ensure the comfort and safety of your dog at all times in a clean environment and can provide any specific additional/necessary support needed!
About: My mother taught me everything I know about taking care of animals ever since I was eight years old, and I haven't stopped. To this day I have a 12 year old Great Dane that I take care of that requires specifics. I am currently working with my Great Dane, Mia, a dog that has incontinence that requires many walks, taking care of her diapers and cleaning up after her bed if needed. It's a daily thing that I need to work around along with school work in college. While my apartment isn't something that I can do. But I am more than willing to stay at home, I have worked in other people's home before, personal friends and I have an easy time adjusting to any environment.
“Fallon was a wonderful sitter. She took great care of our cat and sent us pictures of her while we were away. She was very considerate and communicative, from our initial conversations through the end of the booking. We would definitely ask her to sit for us again in a heartbeat.”
About: A sun filled home where we are dedicated to providing a safe and loving space for your dog. Ensuring they feel secure and at ease while exploring their surroundings. ❤️ Rover is my main focus day to day. The care and well-being of your pet is my full time priority. My schedule will be built around the needs of your dog specifically. Your dog will be treated as family. They may sleep in the bed, lay on the couch and use all toys available as well as blankets and pillows. All feeding and care instructions will be followed to a T.
“Great pet sitter. My cat was always very happy to see him. He was great with communication and willing to go above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. Will definitely use again when needed.”
About: I love all kinds of animals, and I've found that spending time with them boosts my mood and theirs. I grew up with two small dogs, and most of my extended family members have had dogs as well. My friends and I joke that when I go to their houses I spend more time with their pets than I do with them! I'm happy to play with your pets if they want to play, or just sit with them and pet them and give them all the love they could ever need. I understand that it can be scary to leave your pet in the care of a person you may not know well, because they truly do become a family member, but I promise to do everything in my power to provide a comfortable and safe experience for both you and your pet. I’m currently working from home, so I am happy to walk your pets between meetings, or to come work at your place during the day so I can keep your pets company/they can keep ME company! I am an attentive caretaker for all animals, and will follow any instructions left for me very carefully. I don’t just do the bare minimum— I spend quality time with pets and make sure they feel safe and loved.
About: I grew up working at a boarding kennel with large dogs and have had my own pets in the city for 10+ years now. Lots of dog walking experience of different kinds of dogs over the years, but I love my current neighborhood because it is ideal for dogs with parks and fenced in runs steps away. I have lots of perches up for my cat and multiple spaces for animals to coexist in. I wake up each morning to feed my cat and spend time with her before work from home and then will help walk neighbors pets from time to time when they have a need as well. I have multiple areas setup depending on your pets mood or temperament. I love dogs and cats and any that like to cuddle are welcome to sit on my lap if they fit or next to me on the couch while I work. They will get at least 3 walks a day, preferably 4 to make sure they don't have any accidents and get their energy out. Animals with issues can use pee pads and I'll be able to manage that as I work from home. I put on soothing background music and nature videos for my rescue cat already who mostly sleeps in the window and am happy to play any specific type of music or sound for your pet if they are a sensitive baby. I can also give a pet a wide berth and private area to relax if they prefer their space and be sure to give them lots of treats and toys to make their stay relaxing and not stressful.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13 (and finally convinced my parents to let me get a dog af 15)! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their furry friends. I connect with every animal I meet. I am a full time college student, so my class schedule changes semesterly. I am extremely flexible! I am available all holidays and weekends. Throughout the summer I will have only online classes, so I am free. I live in an apartment that is both child and pet free. I constantly clean to leave places better than the way I found it. Because I am constantly pet sitting, I have tons of pet gear to make your furry friend's stay the best ever!
“As usual, Nicole took excellent care of our elderly cat, Asia, when my partner and I were away for Thanksgiving. Nicole is thorough during her visits and has always taken great care of our cat.”
“Manny was a great communicator and we returned to find our cats happy. We were away for a week with Manny doing once-a-day visits. He checked in with us regularly and shared photos. Thanks, Manny!”
“So reliable and helpful. Our cat had some scabs that opened and Kasey had her first aid kit that was able to make sure our kitty was taken care of! Very communicative and responsive. Will be reaching out again!”
“Tiffany is great: sensitive, engaged, dog-savvy, trustworthy. I’m always grateful when she’s available.”
“Lalita took excellent care of my cats!! They loved her straight away”
About: I’m never in a rush, if they’re curious about something, I’ll let them check it out. If they need a break, I’ll give them a break! It fits perfectly, I usually have nothing going on. Somedays I’ll be doing my own but I can always squeeze time to walk your pet! I’m very flexible I simply read them. I read what they want. I love to play, listen to music and talk with them. I’m very patient and understanding with the animals.
“As always, our Ricochet had a wonderful time with Isabella! No issues at all and communication was frequent and easy. It’s such a peace of mind to know that Ricky is well-cared for when we are away!”
About: I am patient, compassionate and very detail-oriented when taking care of furry friends. I have experience administering medication and providing outlets and games for dogs to get their energy out. I have a remote administrative work that I can do around my rover bookings. I enjoy being with animals and look forward to this part of my work life because I get to bond with pets and be playful. I have a dedicated room to board pets, I have 2 cats myself and understand that it might be stressful for pets to be around other pets (especially cats). So I have the visitor pet in a dedicated space with water, food and toys. I take great responsibility and pride in caring for people's fur babies so I like to spend time with them and take them on potty breaks in the fenced-in backyard or on walks.

“We absolutely love Shar as our pet sitter! Our senior mutt Wesley can be a bit temperamental, but Shar has such a calm and patient way with him that it’s honestly impressive. She gets along with him so well, even managing to give him his meds daily without any trouble, all while encouraging good behavior. Wesley always gets so excited when he knows he’ll be spending time with Shar, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving, capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

12. Michael H.
“Michael was a wonderful sitter for my pup Winston. I was out of the country for 5 days and didn't have to worry for a moment that Winston was well cared for. Michael was extremely responsive when I would check in. He sent pictures and video each day that let me know Winston was still happy and maybe not even missing me! Michael followed all of the feeding/walking instructions I left for him and went above and beyond to make sure Winston got a good amount of exercise and some extra love. Winston still gets very excited to see Michael when he stops by the building for a visit. Would highly recommend Michael if you need a sitter!”
