“Meghan was awesome! We had to go to a wedding and we're unsure of whether or not we'd need to stay overnight. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate us for the extra day. My dogs LOVE her and took to her immediately- which says a lot, as my chihuahua is not the friendliest. Will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”


“Tyler was wonderful with our dog Chase, would definitely use Tyler again.”

“Aletris was amazing! They were incredibly attentive and sweet with our kitty and went above and beyond our expectations. Aletris took the job very seriously and made sure nothing would get in their way of taking care of our fur baby, (even if that means resorting to biking to our house when their family needed their car)! We can’t express how happy we are to have found Aletris and I know our kitty felt the same way! Will definitely be hiring them again for future pet sitting needs!”

About: Hello my name is Megan and I can provider quality dog care. Since 2021 I’ve completed several sits and walks on Rover, including a long term house sit and daily walking. It’s been a lot of fun to meet new dogs and stay active with them! I've also had many jobs over the past few years working and volunteering with animals, most notably working as a sled dog handler at a kennel in Alaska this summer. I cared for 25 adult dogs and 8 puppies! I'd be happy to care for your pets, ensure they're getting quality exercise, or just hang out with them. Services And Training: I am able to help with feeding, long walks, and maintaining a clean environment for pets. I am relatively flexible with scheduling. I have other prior commitments that can generally be worked around, and I keep my availability calendar up to date. I will work with you and your pet to learn the best way to provide a safe and comfortable environment based on the pet's individual needs. My dog has all his quirks that I've learned to accommodate, and I can do the same for yours!

About: I am a certified Veterinary Assistant/Technician and have my Animal CPR certificate. I have worked in both general practice and emergency and are ready for all your animals needs. I am able to give insulin to diabetics and fluids to those with kidney disease. Over the years I have cared for all my family's and friends pets for weeks at a time. With every pet having the best experience and given the utmost care. I currently work part time at a restaurant a few nights a week and weekend nights. It is only for a few hours a day and I would never be later than 10pm. This leaves plenty of time to play, feed, and walk your pets! I can take them out into the yard for hours of play or I would be willing to take them to the dog park too! I am available early in the morning so if your pet is on any medication I can be there to give it to them. I am unable to offer boarding to my place of residence unless it was only for a day. I have a fenced in yard with a pool but cannot do overnight boarding. I am up early in the morning to feed breakfast to your pet and take them for their first walk/outside time. Depending on the energy level of your pet we can have a couple hours of play time. I would be there for lunch and dinner and one more walk before bedtime.

About: Hello! My name is Casey I am a part time nurse that just finished my masters degree I now have some extra time during the week and I absolutely love dogs so I figured this would be the perfect thing to do with my extra time! I have always had dogs growing up and I have a pitbull named Blondie who is the sweetest dog ever! I actually use this app for the days that I work for Blondie and I liked how smoothly everything went! I am currently a part time nurse and just finished my masters so I have 2 days off during the week for some extra work! I have a pitbull named Blondie she is amazing with other dogs. She is bell trained and I walk her everyday. If I was pet sitting it would be on a day that I am home all day.

About: Hello! I’m Tara I’ve been taking care of pets since I was kid. I have 3 of my own. An active large dog and two sweet cats. I’m adaptive and really love animals. I work in the film industry and have insane hours. Rover has been a life saver for me. I understand the need for sitter and how important it is to have somebody treat your pets with the same love and care you do. I could help fill in for regular walkers or give full time care at the moment. My dog blue gets walked 5-10 times a week and on the weekends we plan fun hikes. I’m experienced with pet sitting in other homes or even taking pets overnight if you’re comfortable with that and if our animals get along. My dog has insane allergies and I’m used to administering medications. I follow directions very well and promise to give your pet the care they deserve. I’ll take your pup on adventures or even just come by to keep them company and let them out. My dog is always on a leash in public places. My care can vary to you and your pets specific needs! I’m here for all the funny quirks and specific personalities of any pet. I’m experienced with cats, dogs, bunnies, and even reptiles! Heck I’ll water you plants too lol. I’m here for it all and to be the support you need in any given day. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets while you work or go away. I will give your furry friends the time of their life because I’ll love them like my own!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 6 years! I am always the neighbor you call if you need anything. From walks to sitting while you are gone, I will care for them with love. I provide many hugs and many head scratches. 🫶🏻 I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for anytime on weekends, Mondays and Fridays. Im also available anytime after 3 on Wednesdays and Thursdays! I treat my clients' homes with respect and care for their animals with love. I ensure that all tasks are handled with attention to detail, prioritizing the pets' well-being and happiness. I take care of everything that needs to be done in a timely manner, ensuring their routines remain consistent while providing a nurturing environment.

About: I love animals and always have. I am not partial to only dogs or only cats, I love them equally but have the most experience with cats. I have had small dogs/cats/small animals since I was child. The pets in my life have always been very happy and healthy and lived well into their old age. I currently have a 10 year old cat, a 2 year old cat and 5 year old special needs cat. The vet is always surprised with how young my pets seem based on their health. I have past experience as a kennel tech at RBARI during college and comfortable with administering meds to kitties. I’ve also had kitty clients need insulin and administered that to them twice daily. My initial rate is higher as I offer a full hour visit the first time to ensure the pet is comfortable with me. After the first visit, if an hour is not needed, rates can be adjusted. *** Important Note about Availability*** July 1-5 I will be in bedside Brooklyn and only available in that region. Thank you! My work schedule varies from month to month. Please check my calendar for the most up-to-date schedule. I try to keep it as updated as possible. However, you are free to reach out and ask for dates that are booked as there may be changes that I didn’t get a chance to update. Thank you! I will treat your pets with the same love I would treat my own! I am only available in your home. I love being active and will be happy to go on lots of walks and play with your dog or cat regularly.

About: My husband and I have had dogs our whole lives. We recently lost our dog of 12 years. We have experience with puppies to senior care including bathing, meds, strict feeding schedules and allergies. We are both educators. We are free after 3:30 most days and all day on weekends. We have a flexible schedule and we can discuss any needs you may have! We currently have no pets to interfere with caring for your fur baby. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space in our home to play.

About: Even without owning a pet of my own, my love for animals shines through every time I would visit a friend's house with pets. I may not have years of pet care experience, but my genuine affection for animals makes me a natural caregiver. Whenever I come across a furry friend, I quickly become their best friend, showering them with love and affection. I take the time to get to know their unique personalities, preferences, and needs. I enjoy playing with them, giving them attention, and even taking them for walks. I have had experience with dog, cat and bunny sitting! I work part time Monday-Wednesday but only 4 hours a day. This would fit perfectly in my schedule since I can be some-what flexible. I would not be able to do Wednesday nights. Thursdays and Saturdays I can do some evenings. We would keep the pet inside with us. At our home it's just my wife and I. My wife absolutely loves dogs! We would be so happy to provide a home for a night.

About: I've taken care of dogs since an early age having grown up with 2-3 dogs at a time, administered meds for my own pets as well as neighbors, have volunteered at rescue clinics throughout the years starting in High School, have frequented many dog parks and currently am the proud owner of a rescue. I am a young, recent retiree who likes to do yoga and paint. I am available every day except Sunday. I volunteer 1 day a week doing a work study program at a local Yoga studio for 3 hrs. I am very flexible. I have a fur baby to keep yours company if i am hosting. I will go with the flow of your dog. If they like to play and run around, we will do that. If they prefer to take leisurely sniffing walks we will do that. Consider a booking with me like a retreat for your pet, they will get 5 star treatment and you will come home to a happy, fulfilled pet.


About: Hi there! My name is Meredith. I have owned a variety of pups, my current dog is a pit/lab/boxer mix who's energy is rivaled by none. I love dogs and am not scared of a challenge. I have had both small dogs and cared for dog aggressive pups. If you want a regular sitter who knows how to handle crazy critters than I am your gal. (This is starting to sound salesmanish..) I love dogs and believe that the phrase, "variety is the spice of life" applies to our four legged friends as much as it applies to ourselves. By the end of our walk, your dog will have learned a new fact and memorized at least one new mathematical formula. (Just kidding.) Hope to hear from you and your pup soon!
