About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs since I was a kid! Additionally, I’ve worked at a Puppies & Yoga studio where I spent most of my time with puppies. Im currently fresh out of college, so I have plenty of time to dig-sit/walk your pets! On weekends, I am available post noon. I’m always vigilant while walking dogs, especially while interacting with other pets and people, and making sure they are leashed at all times. I closely follow your exact feeding, walking, and medication schedules to maintain consistency with your routine.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10, and have had dogs my whole life. I have experience with elderly animals, and some experience with training and reinforcement of training. I have experience caring for animals with separation anxiety and can follow any special instructions you may have regarding your pet! I am a part-time student taking online classes and have a very flexible schedule. I am generally available at any time of day, any day of the week. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, and will treat your home with the upmost respect. I understand that your home is where your pet feels the most comfortable, so I will do my best not to disturb that environment and ensure both their comfort and safety while you are away.

About: I've always loved spending time with animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I regularly cat sit for friends while they're on vacation, making sure their cats are well cared for, comfortable, and able to stick to their usual routines. I also lived with a corgi for two years, which gave me experience with daily walks, playtime, feeding, and all the little things that come with caring for a dog. I'm dependable, attentive, and always willing to learn. I'll take the time to understand your pet's routine and personality so they receive the care and attention they're used to while you're away. I work four days a week and typically spend about eight hours in the office on those days. However, I have the flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to spend more time with your pets during house sits and longer bookings. My days off also give me additional availability for drop-in visits and dog walks. I look forward to learning about your pet's schedule and needs, and I will always be upfront about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. I understand that every pet has their own routines, preferences, and comfort level, so I always take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether I'm house sitting, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or taking your dog for a walk, my goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible and help them feel safe and comfortable. I'll treat both your pets and your home with respect, provide regular photo and message updates, and communicate promptly if I have any questions or concerns. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, and I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring, reliable hands.

Amy is awesome! Let me explain. I was very trepidatious my first time using Rover. It was a scary proposition letting a stranger into my home to care for my cat while I was away. But her countless recent and excellent reviews and her great first impression gave me faith. Amy did not disappoint. She sent updates with feedback to me every day. She even left a Polaroid style photo of Toph on the counter, a very sweet touch. Amy is also super quick to respond. When I returned to my home, my cat was as energetic as ever. Infinitely better than boarding in a kennel. Thank you, Amy!

About: I've had pets since I was little. I started cat sitting and pet sitting for neighbors once I graduated high school, animals are a big part life! I'm working full time, so I'll be able to work from 8am-9pm Sunday through Saturday for pet sitting and walking! House sitting can be any hours. My home has a grey kitty who's not the biggest fan of other animals, I'll be working outside of it! Whatever is needed, I will happily do in my client's house and neighborhood.

About: I've taken care of people's pets, and my own, since childhood. From dogs of all sizes, to bunnies, and more, I'm comfortable with it all! I look forward to caring for your furry loved ones! I currently have a relatively open schedule to meet your pet or house sitting needs. Let me know and I can likely accommodate your requests! I hope to bring a kind and fun presence for your pet in their own home and am well versed in gentle introductions. I know every pet has their own preferences and needs, and I enjoy both a calm, relaxing drop in visit, and an energetic trek through the park, depending on what's best for them!

About: Hi! My name is Emery, and I have several years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Ever since I was young, I’ve helped my aunt care for dogs and cats through her in-home pet care and boarding business, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets and their individual needs. My passion for animal care began while helping care for my own elderly dog, which taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and paying close attention to each pet’s comfort. I also have experience administering oral medications, including providing my elderly dog with GABA as part of his care. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or is a senior who needs a slower pace and extra support, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. If your older dog still enjoys getting outside but can’t walk long distances, I’m more than willing to accommodate them, even if that means using a stroller so they can safely enjoy some fresh air. I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine consistent, so I’m committed to carefully following all instructions and preferences you provide. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also love keeping owners connected while they’re away and am happy to send regular updates and plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, a drop-in visit, or extended care, my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and secure. I would be honored to care for your furry family member and look forward to meeting both you and your pet! I’m a college student and am currently only taking classes from 6-8:30 pm, Monday and Wednesday. Outside these windows of time I have plenty of availability! I am comfortable walking your dog outside and have had experience with protecting my own dog in hostile situations whether that be at a dog park or on a walk. I am able to crate your dog based on their needs, administer medication as needed (capsule or oral), or even follow strict feeding regimens.

Olena was absolutely wonderful! This was my dog Charlie’s first time staying home alone, and she completely put my mind at ease. She was prompt, reliable, and incredibly responsive throughout every visit. I loved receiving photos and updates, which helped me feel connected and reassured while I was away. Olena made sure Charlie got his walks, plenty of attention, and lots of love during her check-ins. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and comfort. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands made all the difference. I would absolutely book with Olena again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Olena, for taking such great care of Charlie! 💕

Victoria was great! Attentive, communicative, timely, and most importantly she gave the dogs really good quality outside time— threw a ball for Vesa and tried to engage juni (who probably just wanted to get out of the cold since hunting wasn’t on the table)— the dogs look happy. We appreciate you!

TingTing is such a wonderful cat sitter. She was very caring to our older cat and she was a great communicator letting us know how everything was going. I especially appreciate how accommodating she was of his special needs as an older cat. She helped encourage him to eat and drink which gave me a lot of peace of mind while away. I would definitely hope to have TingTing care for our cat in the future.

Zephyr's a sweetheart! My cat was shy at first and very unhappy about me being gone, but Zephyr still managed to get on his good side while I was gone. This was my first time hiring a sitter, so I really appreciate Zephyr coming over with their own checklist of things to discuss - half of which I hadn't even thought of before they brought it up. Thanks again for taking care of Bugaboo!

Kailee was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! Her communication was amazing—she consistently sent updates and photos that always put my mind at ease. You could tell just from the pictures how happy and relaxed my cats were with her. My male cat can be quite shy around new people, but Kailee was so patient and gentle that she completely cracked through his shell, making him feel safe and comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again. Highly recommend!

Noie did such a good job caring for our cat, Olive. So many pictures of great play times, snuggles, and pets. Noie was also able to administer Olive’s asthma medication (inhaler). It was great knowing Olive was in good hands and well cared for while we were away.

We'd worked multiple times with Clive, because we* (*including our cats) love him so much. He once again went above and beyond every day, although we had to book on a rather short notice this time. Some of the time coincided with a heatwave too, but he never missed a beat. He always gives our cats quality play time with plenty of pets. One of our cats is a little shy and he never comes out when there is a visitor, but Clive is a cat whisperer, so he comes out and rubs all over Clive (even shows his belly!). We trust Clive with all our heart, and highly recommend him if you ever need someone trustworthy, kind, and fun to look after your fur babies while you are gone.
