About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and curious kittens to calm senior pets, both as a loving pet parent and as a sitter for friends and family. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand how important routines and affection are, and I’m happy to tailor care to their unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog needs an active walking partner or your cat just wants a cozy lap to curl up on, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and share updates, pics, and stories while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my full attention to caring for your furry baby, this includes regular potty breaks, multiple walks per day, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s specific routine and needs. I don’t have any pets of my own and only care for one at a time, so your furry baby will have my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. I live in a pet-friendly house with a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely play and explore. I always follow care instructions closely and take extra precautions during walks and potty breaks to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

About: I have a kind heart to animals, I will treat them like my own. I worked in a veterinary hospital and their safety will always be a priority when they’re with me. I am a stay at home mom, and wanted to keep busy while my energetic daughter is at school. I am reliable and trustworthy. Also, I love taking pictures, you’ll be getting fun, creative pictures during the time you book me. ♥️ I am a clean well organized person and taking care of an animal is just like having a child. My home is safe from anything they can get into, so you wouldn’t have to worry. 🥰

About: I absolutely ❤️ animals and have "always" had pets in my life from the very beginning. I've cared for SO many different animals in my life; such as: dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, fish, etc. Over my adult years, I've cared for friends and family members pets when needed. 5 years back, I took on the responsibility of caring for grandpa's dog due to his increasing illness. Bottom line, I love animals and want them all to get the love and attention that they want and deserve whether from their parent/parents or from myself in the short amount of time they grace us with in this world. I'm currently a freelancer, so I make my own schedule. Thus, I can move things around to better fit the needs of you and your fur babies if needed. Then, I don't travel much and can be there for those who do. Safety is of the utmost importance to me because it's what I'd want for all my babies, weather it's my 2 legged or my 4 legged child. I'd make sure things that may be harmful are always put up and put aways. Before walking, I'd make sure the area is safe and animals are always leashed up for the entire walk.

About: My specialty and what I excel at is taking care of sick pets. I am able to give cats oral medication and subcutaneous fluid treatments and give oral medication to dogs as well. I started off pet sitting for dogs 7 years ago but have recently started watching more dogs. I am able to take dogs for walks, feed, give oral medication, & play with them. If your dog needs medication from a shot, I am able to learn that as well. I have a certificate of completion from Fear Free Shelters, which teaches techniques to help elevate stress in cats and dogs at shelters. This training has also come in handy with scared house pets. I also volunteer at a cat rescue and have 2 rescue cats of my own. (Half Pint and Nesta). I am available to feed ferals cats at a discounted rate, so your ferals can eat while you're away. I treat everyone’s pets like I want my pets to be treated with kindness, love, & playtime. I look forward to being your Whisker Watcher. I do have a full-time job, but I am able to do drop ins before and after work. On Thursday's and Friday's, I am also able to do drop ins on my lunch hour, as I work from home. I treat everyone’s pet the way I want my pets to be treated, with patience, kindness, love, & playtime. I follow directions well and appreciate as much information as I can get about your pet.

About: Hi there furry friends! For the past years I have been taking care of our family Shih tzu, Chihuahua and Dachshunds loving pets! I am loving, caring, detail oriented and patient. I grew up with pets and comes natural to me to cuddle and snuggle! Love taking my furry friends for walks and play. I’m currently doing Rover full time. All my attention and focus is on my current and future furry friends and their pawrents. Making long term connections allows us to get to know each other better and cater to your preferences. I’m detail oriented, and like to have a meet and greet before taking care of your loving pets. Communication is key and going over your pets preferences is a base for your peace of mind while away from home. Sending updates and pictures to make you feel at ease is a must.

“Michael was responsive to my texts and emails in a timely manner. He provided photos and updated me on her food and water intake and her bathroom breaks. I would recommend Michael and would use him again.”


“Elissa overall was outstanding. First time using the rover app. I was a little nervous. And not sure how it all worked. Elissa communicated very well. Sent me photos. Will definitely book Elissa again.”


“Shannon came faithfully and walked my two dogs (even the feisty chihuahua, who can get nippy if rushed)—even in the rain. I think there was some initial miscommunication regarding the walking schedule, but in the end, the dogs were always walked, I always got the walking report, and Shannon regularly communicated her ETA. As a dog mom—my two dogs are like my little babies—I may have left notes that were too detailed, but ultimately everything turned out great.”


About: Hello, I've had dogs my whole life. I currently have one little Frenchie and sometimes help with my daughter’s father’s dog training facility. I’m open to walking and boarding dogs if needed. I currently work from home and live right by a huge dog friendly park. Very easy to take them out as I already take mines out about 4 or 5 times a day. I live in a one story house with a fenced yard and your fur babies are free to roam around or which ever you prefer.

About: I own 2 cats with my family and we all take care of them seriously. We do feed any stray cats outside our neighborhood too. I'm currently working on my own online shop so I have plenty of time on the weekdays to take care of your pets. I'm mostly available in the afternoon and evening during weekdays and weekends. I would regularly feed my cats with appropriate amounts and upon their health needs. I would regularly have playtime with them and grooming them including brushing their fur and, trimming their nails as well. Lastly, of course, ensure pets are safe even at home is the most important thing for them. Let me know if your pets needs more attention to any specific enquiries.

About: Give me a chance to take care of your furry family. I will treat him/her like my own, Spoiled! I will do my best to take care of any special requests that is needed. I do have a flexible accommodating schedule and if possible I would like a meet and greet with my Boston Terrier & Min Pin that live in my home. All dogs have different personalities and want all to be safe. I do have a fenced yard for a safe space for your baby. There are trails that are walking distance and several parks close to my home. But will only sit furry babies 50lbs and under and will need a meet and greet with my Boston terrier & Min Pin, both are neutered.

“Carla walked my two dogs for more than a week and was continuously punctual and communicative. I was uneasy about using Rover but her responsiveness and follow through day after day put me at ease.”


“Alex was great with our Benji!!! Communicative and Reliable just like he says in his bio. I would absolutely re book with him again in the future. He sent us updates and pics of our boy, and helped us feel at ease with leaving Benji with someone new.”


About: As a pet sitter, my experience revolves around maintaining a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable environment for pets while their owners are away. The day typically begins with feeding according to the pet's dietary schedule, ensuring that water bowls are always filled with fresh water. Regular walks and playtime are essential to keep the pets physically active and mentally engaged. Beyond basic care, I also take time to bond with the pets, offering companionship, affection, and positive reinforcement to ease any anxiety they might feel from their owner's absence. My goal is not only just to take care for the pet, but also to make sure they feel loved and secure until their family returns. Both me and my wife are self-employed and working from home full time. We have plenty of time to walk with the dogs at least two times a day, and play with them throughout the day. I don't have my own pets in the home right now. I have a fenced yard that can prevent pets run away. I always check my surrounding before I opened the door make sure no pets can run out. I always keep the leash on while I am walking the dog.

About: It’s a passion of mine to care. I’ve taken care of my own two dogs back at home. Your fur babies will be in very good hands. I’m currently going to school so taking care of pets will help with giving them all of my attention, care and needs when I don’t have homework. I care for pets very seriously & treat equivalent like a new born / child in hand. You’ll be supporting me in return for my amazing services that you’ll pet leave with fun memories & a wonderful environment. My apartment is very safe. I don’t leave any pets unattended. Follow all schedules as needed & ensure they are given proper care + love.

About: I currently work as a Vet Assistant which means I have plenty of experience handling and caring for cats and dogs. I am familiar with any health issue that may come up with your dog and will promote their well-being. Working in the ER, I know how to deal with many diseases so I can ensure your loved one is well taken care of. I can proficiently administer oral and injectable medications if needed. Aside from my medical background, I enjoy exercise and spending time outdoors and will therefore ensure that your pet is well taken care of physically through runs, walks, hikes- whatever it is that they enjoy. I've been a dog owner since I was a young kid and have always loved spending time with the four legged creatures. I will ensure that your pet is loved as if they were my very own pet. I work 4 days a week, 10 hours but am still available to drop by if needed either in the mornings or evening or in between work if it’s nearby. I’m mostly available at any time Friday-Sunday, I can set time aside to be fully devoted to your pet. I will ensure they’re as comfortable as they have been when the owner is home. Allowing them to have their routine. I will ensure I don’t disturb their usual spots and allow them to roam as they are allowed regularly.
