About: I ran a pet nutritional building for two years, I also was in charge of feline foster care, as well as walking dogs in our neighborhood in Pennsylvania.

Whatever is most convenient for your needs. I do not normally do in-home pet care, I will sit during the day, but I will not do overnights in house unless special request. I will do walks, and drop in visits make sure your baby gets lots of energy burnt out.
“Ashley and Rowan were excellent. They communicated with me every day letting me know how Romeo was doing. They also sent pictures. They were very patient with him as he was not used to being with strangers. I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again. Cheryl C”
“Amber was so fantastic. My cat has feline idiopathic cystitis and is prone to blockages due to stress and separation anxiety so it was very important to have a caring pet sitter to spend time with him and give him his medication while I was out of town. Amber was so great about keeping me updated with his litter and letting me know everyday if he had peed. It eased so much of my anxiety and I know my cats too. She also sent lots of pictures of my sweet boy while I was gone looking happy and healthy. Will definitely be booking her again next time I go out of town.”
About: I’ve always loved caring for cats and have experience looking after my own cat. I’m comfortable feeding, playing with, and giving cats attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to follow each pet’s routine and individual needs.
About: I care for many feline friends in the workplace, giving me the medical experience to safely administer oral, topical, and injectable medications even if a feline feels a bit spicy. I own two cats; a three-year-old orange tabby and a 1-year-old calico. Both of my cats have been a bundle of joy and I have enjoyed pampering my cats for the past year and a half. I go above and beyond to ensure they are always comfortable and satisfied in their home.
About: My family are very much dog enthusiast though I've been more drawn to cats ever seen I had my first cat at 9 years old. I own five cats at the moment though one of them acts like a caine. My cats are friendly and mind their business when I overnight board other animals. Cleaning after cats do not bother me. I daily change 6 cat litter boxes. I love to play with cats or give them their space as needed. When I'm left clear instructions the job is done efficiently every time.
About: The great thing about cats is that the more time you spend with them, the more affectionate they become! I'm actually currently cat and house sitting, and I love it more everytime as the sweet kitties get more comfortable and loving with me😻I've been taking care of both cats and dogs for 25 years now, and there's nothing that I haven't done or am unwilling to do, for these majestic and awesome creatures.

Whatever you or your animals need, I'm up to the task! I'm honest, friendly, a very hard worker and I have an infinite love for all animals. Please let me love your pet like they're my own, and give them a safe & nurturing feeling of home, even when you can't be with them💜 your pets and I are already best friends, we just haven't met yet😁 Thank you for your consideration -Kelly

About: I’m putting myself through college, so everything I make from Rover goes towards my tuition. I have had pets, especially dogs since I can remember as a kid. I’ve also worked for a pet sitting company for 2+ years. For a typical day, I’m highly adaptable to whatever schedule your pets are on. This tends to keep them more comfortable in their home and routine while you’re away! I typically leave in the morning time, then do a drop in visit in the afternoon for at least an hour. I come back at dinner time to spend the evening and night with your furbaby. However, that schedule can be changed to fit your pets specific needs. I’m well versed in many different animals, and am always willing to learn ones that I am not. I try to keep pets I sit as close to their typical routine as possible, and am constantly taking pictures to update their pawrents. Feel free to contact me and set up a meet & greet to see if I would be a good fit!

“Lisa was fabulous (: We could tell that Cosmo and Charlotte were immediately comfortable in Lisa’s beautiful home and with Lisa & her husband. The backyard is securely fenced with plenty of room for the dogs to play, and Lisa’s home is meticulously kept. From the photos she sent, I could see they were very happy while staying there! We haven’t left them with anyone since Cosmo joined our family and we are so happy to find Lisa. Not only is she conveniently located to us, reasonably priced, and a star sitter with Rover, but our dogs seemed to enjoy their time away. Yay! Thank you, Lisa!”
“Katharine was amazing at accommodating a last minute request for care. Our 2 dogs had a great time and loved her spacious yard from the moment we arrived. She was great with updates and photos through day of our fur babies and they came home exhausted after a day of playing. We will be booking her again !”
“They took good care of my boy everyone hit it off right from the start Max and their dog Rockey were instant buds. When I picked him up I could tell by Max's affection toward Rachel and her husband they are sweet dog lovers this was a playdate but have them booked for watching him when we go on vacation”
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”
“Mariana was such a WONDERFUL sitter for old Hilbert!! She took him for 2 walks, dried him off after getting stuck in the rain, and treated him like he belonged to her! If we are ever in St Augustine again, I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I spent 6 years at PetSmart caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals, 2 years working at k9’s for warriors. Working with service animals, administering meds, caring for sick/disabled dogs. I’ve also volunteered with local shelters and at Grace Haven Homestead, where I cared for animals ranging from farm dogs and donkeys to foxes. I’ve been around all kinds of animals and personalities, and I love getting to know each one. My goal is simple: to give your pets a safe, cozy place where they feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom who homeschools my two boys, so we spend most of our days at home. Pet care fits naturally into our routine because I’m already here throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and company while we go about our normal day. Including any special needs they may need. My kids also love animals, and have been around many to know how to respect them. So having pets around feels like a fun addition to our home rather than a job I’m trying to fit in. I will be the sole caretaker of your animal(s) when here. Caring for pets in my home will depend on if your furry friend is good with kids under 5. My boys are very respectful of dogs and will not bother them. But there will be running, yelling, jumping, playing. Know if your dog is good around kids. We have an acre fenced in yard, plenty of space to run contained. Lots of tree coverage on hot days. Cozy beanbag bed for dogs. We’ll make them feel like family! We have a valley bulldog, cat, and bearded dragon! We love all animals. We look forward to meet yours. Smoke free home. I will be the sole caretaker when your animal(s) are here, the kids will just add love comfort, and fun if they want it!

“I really appreciate Samantha helping my boy on a last minute notice over the holiday weekend. I was out of town and she was nice enough to feed him and clean up his accident without asking. It was more than just a walk. I would recommend her services if you need someone to look after your dog. I hope to hire her in the future.”

About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.
About: We go by Bark Haven Ballers ! 🏀" "Hi there! I absolutely love animals and care for a variety of them on my personal farm right here at home. Because my own farm requires regular attention, I am not able to offer overnight house-sitting, even though my profile may suggest it.Instead, I proudly offer dedicated 1-hour drop-in visits twice a day. These hour-long visits are perfect for ensuring your pets get plenty of playtime, feedings, and potty breaks. If your pet needs extra attention or you require more time, just let me know! We can easily add extra time or visits to your booking for a small adjusted fee to fit your pet's exact routine." ⭐ Transparency is important to me! You might notice a few recent cancellations on my profilethese were due to an unexpected, one-time emergency that temporarily impacted my schedule. I am back to my regular routine and fully ready to provide safe, reliable care for your fur babies. I have spent years perfecting my pet sitting skills, and I’m now offering that experience to you as a solo, mobile provider. Whether you need a consistent walker, a drop-in visit, or a trusted sitter, I bring the care directly to you.Having transitioned from a partner-based service, I now bring a more personalized, one-on-one approach to pet care. I am fully committed to delivering a safe, engaging, and loving experience for your pet For added safety and reliability, I operate as a two-person team. Having a partner involved in the care process provides an extra layer of security and ensures that your pet’s schedule,from feedings to medication,is always managed with a 'second set of eyes' for total accuracy and peace of mind."
About: Growing up my family always had cats and dogs, so I’ve been around them my whole life. Pets bring so much love and fun into your life, they are a part of the family and they are so important. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have a 6 year old poodle named Lola who I love with my whole heart. My qualifications- I’ve taken care of older cats for a neighbor, I’ve housesat for friends and family who have pets, and I volunteered at an animal shelter for over a year, where I would clean kennels, take dogs on walks, play with cats, and organize and paint the shelter. Thank you for considering me as your pet-sitter! ❤️ I have flexible hours, because I work as a door dasher, but pet-sitting/walking is my preferred job, so I can be available whenever I am needed. In my home, my dog Lola has access to food and water 24/7, and I take her outside every 4 hours or so during the day. She lets me know when she needs to go outside. In your home, I can provide any feeding/walking schedule that your pet is used to. I’m very easy-going and adaptable to anything.
About: Since middle school, I have grown up caring for many different animals. I was responsible for the care of my pets; including two rabbits, three guinea pigs, a leopard gecko, and four snakes. All of these pets lived a very lavish and spoiled life. During high school, I used my volunteer hours fostering dogs, rehabilitating them for their forever homes. The care for these dogs included feeding, walking/playing, training, and medical care. I started working in the veterinary medicine field almost two years ago. This field has given me the experience of providing compassionate medical care, no matter the patient. I am now a full time student studying for radiology. I am a full time student, in which I attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am free in the early mornings and late afternoons of those two days. The rest of the week is completely free besides the 2-3 hours I spend studying for school. I tend to be very watchful with pets and do not like to let animals out without some sort of lead unless your yard is fenced in. I will always prioritize safety over anything else to ensure a safe and positive experience for all parties involved. I also ask that I be either provided an emergency contact and/or a preferred veterinary caretaker in case (god forbid) an emergency does come up. I also ask that if a pet is receiving medications, there are clear directions with clear times to administer medications.
About: I have experience caring for my own dog and cat, as well as helping take care of my family’s pets.

“Amber was Awesome. We contacted her on short notice,and she showed up right away to meet everyone on our little farm. Rynn our little 6lb Shorkie Poo took to her right away and he is usually the hard one because he is the boss, and Bodie the 100 lb Lab loves everyone. Plus the cat, bird and 11 ducks all loved her. We even found some of her own little treats she brought for he kids. If you are looking for a loving, caring, respectful person for your fur babies Amber is the one for you. Thanks you so much Amber Dave & Jen”
About: My family has owned numerous of dogs in our large family. From my Uncle's Dobermann trio to my mother small Pomsky (Pomeranian and Husky mix) I've taken care of them all. The dogs in our family are tired of me before I've run out of steam to play or walk. I own five cats at the moment though one of them acts like a caine. My cats are friendly and mind their business when I overnight board my mother's Pomsky or my sister's Old lab mix girl for a few days. Cleaning after animals do not bother me. I daily change 6 cat litter boxes. When I'm left clear instructions the job is done efficiently every time. I work from home full time and I'm awake before the sun come up. I'm ready to get the job done early and my job is flexible about my breaks. I can visit your pets anytime designated as I have my own vehicle. I have a open yard that's not fenced in though only one neighbor with a dog behind a fence. I'm working to fence my yard in the future as I like the idea to give sitted dogs that open space. For now know your dog will become part of my workouts and I love to walk about 3-5 miles daily. At my home your dog will be welcome to chill with us though during the night will board in the spare room in or out of any provided crates.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover who treats every pet like family. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, even over nights all while giving lots of love while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’d love to meet your furry friend! I currently work from home so it’s easier for me to naturally fit pet care into my daily routine. I plan my schedule so I can give pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s morning and evening walks, feeding times, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m used to building my day around making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I keep a clean, safe environment and always watch for any changes in behavior or needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect their space and follow any specific instructions they provide so their pet feels secure in their familiar environment.
About: I'm a professional and responsible caretaker of 25 years now, of dogs, cats, children, the elderly and residential family homes as well as commercial properties, and I love it more with each passing year! I am a personable and energetic companion, with an infinite amount of love for all animals. There's nothing that I'm unable to do and no job too big or too small. I value this opportunity to be your best friend's home away from home and give them all of the love that you would give to them, because they deserve it and so do you! It such a rewarding and touching experience to enjoy the same animals loving me more and more over time, and eventually just being affectionate as can be! I love knowing that I can send you pictures(as often as you'd like) of your fur baby, giving you relief and knowing that not only is your dog safe and nurtured, but happy and loved! I've always said that I just want to cuddle with dogs all day and still pay my bills haha. Although I was mostly joking, how amazing is it that I can actually make that dream a reality!!😻 Maybe mans' best friend but your dog is also my best friend too...if you could please just help to introduce us to each other. Thank you for your consideration Best Kelly I am fully open and available for any booking, for any period of time, for any amount of pets! The more animals I get to see in a day, the better! I treat every animal as if they were my own child! It's hard enough to be away from their parents at all, so I am just as positive, affectionate, loving and comforting as I can possibly be, so your pets feel comfortable and at peace. I communicate with the pet and/ or homeowner to find out exactly what they expect from me, and always write down all of the specifics of animal care(food & water and frequency, medicines, restrictions, if they go outside or stay inside, things they like or find comfort in like their favorite toy or treat to ensure that feel as much at home as I can make them feel) so I don't forget anything important! I usually reread the list everyday that I'm there, just to be sure not to miss anything. Lastly I always spend the last hour or day cleaning up after myself & the pet, to leave things nicer than I found them. Whether it's taking their trashcan to the road and gathering their mail, along with washing their dishes and making sure the bathroom and kitchen are nice & clean for them to come home to. Or it could be giving the dog a bath if I'm not house sitting as well. Basically if you're going to pay me to do something, I'm going to make it worth your while and be as helpful, clean and efficient as possible! Just a basic rundown in addition to feeding and walking and picking up after said animal, I like to go above and beyond what is expected of me. I reach for the best customer service I can possibly provide, to hopefully create a very happy dog and parents, as well as a repeat customer! If you hire me, you will not regret it! Thank you for your consideration -Kelly

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle.

About: For the past 12 years, I have been training dogs and managing doggie daycares. My main focus over the past 5 years has been getting deeper into the training community, working for local organizations and shelters training service dogs for veterans and opening my dog training company, Palms and Paws Dog Training, LLC. I also have experience in insulin injections and medication in both dogs and cats. My schedule is currently wide open and very flexible! I am able to do new drop in visits, walks and boarding both in my home and at your home. I am married to my wife and currently live in an apartment on the second floor. I have a 14 year old male cat and a 12 German shepherd that get along great. I have done board and trains in the past where dogs came to my home to train so I am familiar with crating and rotating and understand the importance of daily walks and enrichment. I have worked at and managed multiple boarding facilities and am very familiar with all dogs needs both inside and outside of the home as well as their physical, emotional and mental needs. I am equally as passionate about cats and am more than happy to take the time they need to build trust.

I have potty trained and fostered puppies and abused animals from different situations. I am comfortable with administering medicine as well as insulin shots. I own my own home and can sit in my home or yours. When your fur babies are in my home they have full access to the entire home as well as yard. They can sleep in my room with me or if preferred in the living room. I love to drive so I can also pick up or go to appointments if needed. I am retired and have all the time in the world right now to do what makes me smile! That means being an amazing loving dog and cat sitter. I get up every morning take the dogs to the dog park or a good walk We go to the beach and go on trails exploring After a fun day we usually chill out when it’s especially hot and then have a nightly walk before heading to bed.

If I am in your home I will follow any instructions left to insure that they are comfortable and consistent. I own my own home and have 2 fur babies of my own.

About: Dogs have been part of my family my whole life! For the past 20 years, I’ve had 3–4 dogs at home, so caring for multiple dogs is part of my everyday routine. I understand that every dog has their own personality, habits, and needs, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours feel comfortable and loved. One of my dogs is diabetic, so I have hands-on experience giving insulin injections and administering medications. I understand how important it is to follow care instructions carefully and maintain a consistent routine. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, or a little extra patience and attention, I’ll care for them with the same love I give my own. My wife and I both work from home, and we’re homebodies at heart! I love having dogs keep me company throughout the day, whether they’re snoozing nearby or taking a break with me for some playtime. Being home gives me flexibility for regular potty breaks, meals, and plenty of attention. Dogs are already a big part of our daily routine, and I’d love to make yours feel right at home, too. Our home has a fenced yard for supervised play and potty breaks, along with three friendly dogs who are part of our family. I’ll take introductions slowly and give your dog time to settle in at their own pace. I also have crates in several sizes for dogs who are accustomed to them, and I’ll follow your instructions about their use. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll respect your space and keep their familiar routine as consistent as possible, including meals, walks, potty breaks, and any medication needs we discuss beforehand. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secured, give your dog plenty of attention, and send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing. Whether at my home or yours, your dog’s comfort, safety, and individual needs are my priority.
