About: For the past two years, I have been pet sitting for my neighbors pups whenever she is out of town. She has one small pup and one large pup. I am comfortable with any pup, no matter the size, the breed, or the age! I understand how important it is to keep a routine and make them feel comfortable while their parent is away. I love pups, and make it my top priority to make sure your babies feel comfortable and safe while you’re gone🤍 I am currently available full time! My schedule is very open. I am available Sunday-Saturday. I’m willing to do early mornings, overnights, late night if needed, etc. I am happy to work with your schedule! I think animals are the happiest when their everyday routine is maintained. I will carefully follow all care instructions, and make sure pets receive plenty of care, affection, attention, exercise, and enrichment while their parent is away. I’ll take the time to build trust with your fur baby! I will keep an eye out for changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated with messages and photos during visits. I will treat every home with respect and animals as my own.
“Colby did an AMAZING job looking after our 2 dogs and cat. They were so happy to see her every-time she showed up and the communication/pictures about our animals was excellent. I would highly recommend her to watch after any of your animals!”

About: I work hybrid remotely, so my job allows me to plan my own schedule. I’ve loved animals literally forever and I think they deserve good care!! I’ve been taking care of them since I was 14 (I’m 22) so quite a while now. I work hybrid remotely, so I’m very flexible! I build my own schedule for my job, so I clock in and out at my leisure. I go to your home so your pet is more comfortable! I do walks, clean up, play with them (if they want to, haha), brush, and even bathe if they need it.
“Morgan was fabulous and visited twice a day at the appointed and times to visit and feed the dogs ! She was very responsive and trustworthy! Feel confident to Hire her anytime is my rec!!”

“Our trip to Cabo was very relaxing knowing that Dee was here for Marvin. When we returned home he was relaxed, happy to see us and well taken care of. Thanks once again Dee for taking care of our boy!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personal attention and care I give to each pet. I take time to learn their routine, quirks and comfort needs so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I have experience with both tiny puppies and kittens feeding bottles. To senior pets who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and treat every animal like my own—making sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and comfort no matter their age or energy level. While working part- time at D6 teaching. I take on a few side jobs, I am a nanny, house sitter and decal maker have more free time and availability! I have one dog and three outdoor cats. I also have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to play and make themselves at home!
About: Thank you so much for your interest in trusting us with your animals. We know that our animals are not just our pets, they are valued members of our family. We’d be thrilled and honored to meet you and your animal(s) to see if we are a good fit. I, Rachel have been blessed to love so many wonderful animals that I've got to call family in my life including dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters. My husband, Triston and I are failed foster parents and currently have 4 cats, two of which who we raised as feral kittens from birth. Our love for animals is why we've decided to offer pet care on Rover. After watching several friends and neighbors pets, we thought it was time to make an official account. I'm trustworthy, reliable and responsible. My clients value that I'm very attentive, responsive and always ensure to communicate clearly. My husband may join me in sitting or dog walking. He trained as a Veterinary Technician before landing as a Wildlife Biologist. He also volunteered with the SPCA for over 5 years. He has more specialized knowledge and experience giving injections, medication or love to animals who require special attention. We would love to care for your fluffy family members and ensure that they are well loved and taken care of whether it's a walk, drop in or boarding at our home. We are well versed in the needs of animals ranging from younger pets with high energy to aging pets with medical conditions. Sometimes my two year old daughter will join me, however I will always ask permission first. She is very sweet, gentle and kind to animals. She shares a love for animals just like her parents. Her favorite thing is to give hugs and gentle pets to animals who like attention. *To secure a reservation, an upfront payment is necessary. This policy ensures that your spot is reserved and guaranteed. Rover will hold onto the payment until 3-4 days after the booking is complete before sending to me. In the event that immediate payment is not feasible, it's important to be aware that the reservation may be subject to availability. Additionally, a 24 hour cancellation policy applies to all services with the exception of dog-walking and drop-in visits. I work from home with the ability to have a flexible schedule. I'm happy to meet your pet care needs whether it's early morning, afternoon or evening. My husband and I use our bonus room as our boarding room where we can care for pets in our home. It's a relatively large bedroom with carpet and a couch. This room is the dedicated pet room. We have blankets and toys for your animals, however we always encourage clients to bring toys, blankets that anything else that may smell like home and that your animal is familiar with to help with the transition. We also have a huge yard and would love to go on long walks with your dog. Whether in your home or ours, we always respect and reinforce whatever rules and training you have in place for your animals, whether it's no jumping on the furniture or anything else.
“Jonathan is so communicative, reliable and helpful. Our cats have been taken care of so well. We’ve had the privilege of him sitting a few times for a us and we will continue to do when we need someone!”

About: Mama to 8 - 4 humans, 3 dogs, 1 cat 💕 I will treat your baby like my own. References available upon request. I truly love animals and cant wait to meet yours! I limit the clients I accept to ensure service for pets and pet parents are top notch. When I commit to a service, I will provide it. I have a fenced yard with other dogs. Our dogs typically sleep in the kennel but are allowed to roam during the day. We do have separate spaces so we can separate as needed. You dogs saftey and happiness is my top priority!
“Irma did a great job taking care of the boys. It had also been a while since they met her so she made sure to come over to the house a few days before to re-introduce herself to them which I appreciated. She was great at communicating with me on her arrival and sending pics!”

About: I am passionate about providing excellent pet care and ensuring that every animal feels safe, healthy, and loved. I have experience caring for pets by feeding them, maintaining clean living spaces, providing exercise, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique needs, making their comfort and well-being my top priority. Whether caring for dogs, cats, or other animals, I am dedicated to creating a positive and nurturing environment for every pet in my care! I am currently home full time so I am always available if you need me for your pet care needs! Even if there might be some time adjustments I will always find a way to take care of your fur babies! In my home they will get tons of walks and play time and have very comfortable spots to nap! I do not currently have a fenced in yard but will hopefully have one soon. In others homes I will do my absolute best to love and care for your fur babies! I will make sure all instructions are followed exactly as written and that they will get all the attention!
About: I have had pets in my home since I was a youth. I take pride in protecting, caring, and loving (including spoiling) all breeds and sizes. I currently work full time from home. I will be able to safely care for your pet. My care includes 2 daily walks and 2 feedings and snack time. My home has 3 pets. My puppy is crate trained (still learning), I have a 16 year old ( she is the boss), and a 6 year old cat (lives in my room).
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. My grandma has 8 dogs, 6 cats, and 5 guineau pigs! I guess her children stuck with being surrounded by animals as my mom has 14 cats and 1 dog so I was always being loved on by at least one fur baby. My aunts and uncles have several animals as well and I am always the one who takes care of them and gives them love while they are on vacation. I am a stay at home mom so your baby will never be alone! I will always be at home available to give plenty of love, play, and take them out to use the restroom. I am a mommy two beautiful little girls and one handsome boy who absolutely adore animals and love watching them play so I would definitely play with your baby often. I love to snuggle with fur babies as they are allowed on my couch and free to roam around my home.
“Eleanor was amazing! Great communication, loved the photos she took and sent everyday. She's very sweet and you can tell she loves animals. Will definitely use her again! Thank you again for watching our furbabies!!”
“Danielle comes by twice a week to check in on my pup while I’m at work and I get such peace of mind from her frequent updates and pictures. My dog also gets so excited to see her each week! I find it difficult to trust people with my dog but Danielle is very trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable on dogs/dog behaviors.”
