“Annadel was so sweet and patient. I’ve never used Rover before and she helped me every step of the way. We’ve never used a over night sitter before so my nerves were through the roof. But her constant updates quickly calmed me. Bonnie will definitely be back. Thankyou to you and your family for being so inviting to my baby”

About: Hello! I’m a first year veterinary student with 3 years experience as a veterinary assistant at a small animal general practice. I’m skilled in safe animal handling, physical restraint, preventative care, and administering medications. I’m Fear Free Certified and always prioritize low-stress, compassionate care. Moreover, I’m comfortable with sitting for senior pets with medical needs. I have personal experience managing chronic illness in my own dog for 2+ years, including giving at-home subcutaneous fluids and consistent oral medications. I have experience with bathing and would be more than happy to offer baths or nail trims upon request for an additional charge. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. As a student, I attend classes during the weekday, but my schedule allows me to run home during lunch breaks and between classes for potty breaks, feedings, and check-ins. My evenings are completely free, so your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship during the evening hours and will not be left alone. My home is a townhome with no pets and no children, providing a calm and controlled environment. There is plenty of space for pets to move around comfortably, and I can easily accommodate crates or set up separate areas if needed. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s established routines and household rules, including furniture access and sleeping arrangements, to help them feel at home.
“Gloria was fantastic with my dog, Chewie! She and her husband have set up a wonderfully calm and loving environment for pups in their home and I am so glad that I found her. Thank you, Gloria!”

“Meghan took care of our dog while we are traveling over the holidays. When we had a family emergency come up and couldn't get back, she kindly offered to continue looking after him. We appreciate knowing that our dog is well taken care of in a difficult time. Will definitely book again.”

“Kellie was wonderful! She was thoughtful and asked all the right questions to make sure she could give my dog Jersey the best care possible. I'll definitely be looking to Kellie for my future pet-sitting needs!”

“We could not be happier in finding Feiran and Jiaxu to watch over our boy. We had plenty of pictures and even videos throughout the day of our boy! It was great to see and knowing how much they take great care of him puts our mind at ease! Their lab, Yami got along wonderfully with Simba too! Feiran was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I have. We will definitely be boarding Simba here again. :D”
“Rachel was absolutely fantastic with our dog Mika during his 9-day stay. She took Mika on amazing adventures and walks, and we received pictures and updates every day, which kept us reassured and relaxed throughout our vacation. Knowing Mika was in such good hands made our time away stress-free. We highly recommend Rachel for her exceptional care and attention!”

“Elaine was great! Chili had a great time with her. She was informative and sent lots of pictures/videos to us. She was also flexible and easy to book with. I will be using her again!”

“Julie and Cole amazing! We used them our wedding weekend to watch Cora and was very impressed. This time around Cole took Cora to the store! She looked like she was strutting her stuff. They will send you pictures and videos and keep you updated. Cora was having a blast and she loves being there. Thanks for watching her while I had to have eye surgery.”

I send regular photos/videos of your fur babies, take dogs for walks twice a day, trim cats’ nails, brush both cats and dogs daily, and bathe dogs too. work part-time and have plenty of flexible time for pet care! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week, with full availability on weekends and after 2 pm on weekdays to care for your furry friends. With 1 year of pet-sitting experience (4 years with cats, 6 months with dogs), I provide a safe, loving home. I offer daily walks, grooming, nail trimming, and regular photo/video updates for total peace of mind.
“Rae took such good care of our girls. They went on lots of walks! One of our dogs is diabetic and she gave her insulin twice a day. She sent lots of pictures and reported how they were doing. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: Your fur baby is free to roam and explore my home. Unlike other sitters I bake dog treats 🙂 and I’ll bathe them if needed. If your dog has a medical condition and takes medication I’m comfortable giving them medication. I work from home so your dog will never be alone. I have a miniature schnauzer, her name is Scarlett and she is full of personality! Together, we play fetch, eat treats, take naps, snuggle, I read her bedtime stories, and go for walks. I have a lot of space inside and outside for playtime- together we get our exercise in. I like to bake dog treats and play hide and seek out the treats! When I dog sit, you will get daily pictures and videos of all the fun things that they do while with their auntie Q. I can even teach you dog how to shake with both paws 🐾. Your fur baby will be cared for like I care for my own. I always take the dogs out for a walk morning, noon and evening. I make sure your fur baby feels comfortable in the house by making sure toys, water, food are always available. I live alone so no one else has access to my home. You have to have a key to enter my building. I live beside a library in a peaceful neighborhood with wonderful neighbors. I can also crate your dog if you prefer.
“Sarah was a great companion for my furbaby while I was away! She was very communicative throughout the duration of the boarding service, and I felt comfortable and at ease with having my dog in her care.”

About: We’re a dedicated two-person team, so your dog gets more consistent attention, love, and supervision than they would with a single sitter. We’re known for being patient, gentle, and extremely reliable — we always stick to your dog’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable. And we send regular photos and updates so you never have to worry about how your pup is doing. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work from home. I’m around throughout the day, my partner and I also share responsibilities. So there’s always someone available for walks, playtime, or cuddles. In my home, pets get a calm, safe, and supervised environment. I have two friendly dogs and a bunny, so visiting pets are never lonely — but I always introduce animals slowly and safely to make sure everyone is comfortable. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and set up with separate spaces in case a dog needs quiet time, their own area, or a break from other pets.
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my adult life. Throughout the years I’ve had 3 large mixed breed dogs all adopted from shelters. I have also had 2 cats. I will welcome your potty trained dog into my home. We have a nice sized , fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walks. I’m currently working part time . I am off in the summer. When I work it is no longer then 4-5 hours (usually much shorter) so I can be home for your dog’s bathroom breaks. I welcome all house trained, non destructive dogs into my home. I have a fenced yard and can crate your dog if that is what your dog is used to . I don’t have a crate but you would be welcome to bring one over.
“She knows what she’s doing! Took care of our dogs for four days without any issues and even took them on walks. She sent pictures and updates everyday which really took away any worries we had. Thank you Nina!”

About: Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pet family members for years and I have recently decided to expand my services through Rover! With over 20 years experience caring for cats, and dogs from small to large, I have enjoyed the connections made with each and every one of these sweet critters. I look forward to meeting and caring for your fur babies, too! I have a flexible schedule and work from home so caring for pets can easily fit in my day to day routine. Let me know your needs. I have two friendly pets and a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby happy or I can easily crate your pet ifyou prefer.

No matter what kind of services you are looking for, we can guarantee that your fur-child will spend their day(s) enjoying supervised play at a local fenced in, safe dog park or anywhere you prefer. We’ll make sure your fur-child feels welcomed, comfortable, loved, and safe even when you can’t be with them. We are easy to reach and fast to respond, we look forward to hearing from you soon :) COVID-19*** Jedidiah and Esther are both vaccinated. In regards to house sitting services, we are allowing them, however we will not be offering to sleep in our client's home's over night to ensure full safety for all parties. For further questions/clarifications, please do not hesitate to reach out. Esther is currently working a part time job. Her availability is subject to constraints, but they are generally amenable to providing assistance when requests are made promptly, contingent upon their current schedules.
