About: Hi, I'm Erin! Before I entered the world of office work, I was walking dogs and pet sitting professionally for local businesses in Richmond, VA and Naperville, IL. I have 6 years of experience in pet care, including some experience at a groomer and daycare. I love all animals and have worked with and owned all kinds, from exotics, birds, cats, and dogs. I've cared for little puppies still figuring things out as well as the sweet seniors that need a little help eating and getting around. I've also rescued and fostered kittens! I have a personal interest in positive reinforcement training and use it on my own dog. I have been trained to orally medicate, administer shots, and have experience with first aid/CPR. I have a Chihuahua mix who is my heart and soul, so I understand what concerns a pet parent may have. In my free time I like to bike, paint, read, watch movies, go birding, and play video games. I place security and safety of your pet and home at top priority and like to leave things just as good or better than when I came. You'll get photos and updates with each visit if requested so you can rest easy while away. Please don't hesitate to reach out of you have any questions or concerns! I'm available most of the week except for Monday-Friday 6:30am-3:30pm where I work my full time job in medical billing. I work from home so I can be flexible if you are in the area as I have some downtime. I like to leave your house as I found it or better. If there are special instructions (such as door codes, house or pet quirks, crate or feeding instructions) please provide them prior to the visit. If your pup would like some socialization, I'd be happy to bring Mavis along for walks. If you need trash taken out, plants watered, litter boxes scooped, please let me know and I'll take care of it. If you're out of town for a while I like to rotate lights in the house to make it look lived in. Food and water will be checked every visit. I also don't like to use flexi leashes due to possible risks and will use my own 6 ft leash just in case you don't own one. If your pet has any favorite toys, activities, or other special info let me know!

“Leila is fabulous! We need a last second walk for our pups. She came to our house to get the pups. Our friend that was there earlier in the day left the leashes in the wrong place and Leila was patient enough to search for them. It delayed her walk quite a bit but she didn’t shorten their walk. She took great care of our pups and gave them treats. Her report was thorough and detailed, which helped alleviate any worry I had for our pups. Thanks Leila!”

I am available for house sitting , check ins and walks throughout the week, working with your schedule and pet care needs. I have consistent transportation and as well as coming to your home, I can also pick up your dog from the boarders/groomers if a pickup is more convenient for you and your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. I just graduated with a Master’s of Social Work. Before beginning my career, I’m taking some down time and taking care of animals. This gives me the ability to prioritize your pets needs! My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.
About: I've taken care of my family's pets over the years. 1 dog and 8 cats. Pet sitting for my siblings taking care of mostly cata and some guinea pigs. I'm available most weekdays and weekends to take care of your pets. I prefer to work in the mornings from 8 am to 3 pm I have a fenced yard so if your dog stays with me can run around. I like to know your pets personality and patterns to help keep them safe
“Cristian is great! We needed some help with lunchtime walks 3x a week for a couple months after a foot surgery, and we feel so lucky to have found Cristian. He is super communicative, took great pics every visit, and wrote up thorough notes about our girl. He is super patient with our high energy girl, and would even jog with her on some days to tire her out! We highly recommend Cristian and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future when we need a dogwalker!”
About: Hi my name is Angie. I actually have about 2 years of professional experience working with both cats and dogs. I worked in a dog hotel and a dog kennel which both took cats and dogs So I know how to interact with both, How to introduce myself to them, giving shots and medication if needed. I also know some basic training techniques. Im very good at reading animals and just tend to have a natural bond with them. Im very comfortable with all size dogs. Please feel free to msg me if you hav any questions I have open availability and don’t mind traveling. I also have experience bathing, blow drying and clipping nails if interested. I can guarantee you pet will definitely be in great hands with me. ☺️ I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups 🐶 so for the most part I’m gone maybe about 4 hours a day. I have a fenced in yard and two large fields next door for them to take long walks in & have a puppy who loves to make new friends. 🐶
About: I am an educator by training. I am looking for extra work during the summer and school year away from the classroom. I dog and cat sat and dog walked throughout college for four years. I cared for a 15-year-old labrapoodle and I cared for a 7-year-old bordie collie for a combined 5 years. I took them on daily walks, fed them according to a strict meal regimen, and made sure they were safe. The 15-year-old dog had health issues so I have experience in responding to health crisis with elderly dogs and know how to respond in case of an emergency. I am willing to commute, but have limited availability with overnight visits as I have a 19 month old and 7 month old at home.I also have experience with cats! I personally have four cats (ages 2,2, 2, and 4) who I love dearly. I’m able to administer medicine, feed, and care for all breeds and ages of cats. Generally, I do have a full-time job so pet care is part time for me. I’m saving to buy a house and go on a trip so I’m really looking for extra income. Work takes up my time during the day, but I’m available in the evenings and weekends for pet sitting. I’m also available during holidays and the summer. As of 12/2/25: I am currently not working so I have open availability. I have cats so animals need to be friendly with cats. We dog sat for a few weeks and my cats were friendly with the dogs. If the animals must stay with me, I prefer cats as my schedule makes dog walking from my home challenging. I can do drop ins!

“Booking Jennifer for dog sitting was a fantastic decision. Her attentiveness to my dog gave me complete peace of mind, and her super quick responses to my messages were a huge plus. I'd absolutely choose her again for future sitting needs.”
“Ashley is amazing and was able to take my girls on short notice! They love spending time with Ashley and her daughter Marina and I know they are super well cared for! 🐾💜”
“Kyla was awesome! My dog seemed like she really enjoyed her stay. She also sent daily updates which included pictures and videos. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ruben did such a lovely job caring for our pittie, Aegon, in a small, mixed dog environment. We got a happy pup back and he had a chance to socialize in a safe setting while we were away. Totally confidence to use Ruben again for our pups.”
“Karia took great care of Lovie, he had lots of yard space to run around in and other dogs to play with. Karia was also great with communication, and provided frequent updates on Lovie's stay. Would highly recommend and will be reaching out again when I need a dog sitter in the area.”
“Lech was brave enough to take care of my bulldogs for three days. He did a great job checking in and sending pics. More importantly, when Francis and Mr Wrinkles got home, they didn't seem to have been stressed out or anything, which has happened with sitters in the past. Further, Lech was able to take care of my "special needs" dog who is def. And, he was available to pick up and drop off the pair which saved me tons of time. Will def look to book again!”
“She was an amazing choice and Bailey loved being with her and her doggo. If you want a safe sitter and one that will give all their love and attention to them, she is the one! I will most definitely be rebooking again.”
“So friendly and accommodating to me and my Santi boy. He seemed so happy and comfortable arriving home so i KNOW he had a great time. Charise is a true dog lover and i look forward to booking with her again. Thank you!!”
“Can’t thank Nina enough for the awesome care she took of my dog for a holiday weekend! She sent so many great pics and videos that made it clear my dog was having a great time. I am THRILLED I found her on Rover!!”
“Great Care! Manuel was professional and caring. He communicated throughout the day, sending updates and pictures. He went above and beyond caring for Levi. She was extremely happy and tired when I picked he up. I would highly recommend Manuel to take care of your Furbaby!”
“Amazing sitter for our dog! This was our first time leaving her for so many days not with family. Christina was great about sending updates and took wonderful care of Gobi. Will absolutely book with her again!!”
“Teddy is our 150lb Bullmastiff and EK and her family welcomed him like the rest of the tiny tots that are looked after daily. She is trustworthy and reliable. We hadn't been on a real vacation in 2yrs we had no issues or worries while gone.”
“Christine did an amazing job caring for my senior dog. He does need extra patience and attention, and she provided just that. She kept me updated on his daily activities, giving me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”
“Sophia and Andy were super accommodating. Never had to ask for a picture because they were on top of it. You can tell how much they care for pets. Made me feel like my dog Morrie was really well taken care of. Morrie came back happy and content :) Definitely recommend. Thanks so much again”
“I have been going to Bola for quite some time now and she is very accommodating when it comes to my 90 pound Goldendoodle. I truly appreciate her flexibility and support in watching him from time to time as I navigate my first pregnancy,”
“Barbara is a great dog sitter! Kaiser had a wonderful time with her. She was always in touch, kept us updated, and made us feel very comfortable while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Shout out to Jasmine! Such a great experience with her! My dog Bulleit is a high-maintenance Border Collie who needs a lot of attention from his humans, so finding the right sitter has always been challenging and honestly gives me a lot of anxiety. And Bulleit said Jasmine is his favorite sitter, since he usually roasts me and barks at me for at least 1mins upon his pickup from daycare/boarding, but this time there’s no complaint🤣 Jasmine made everything so easy for me😭She’s incredibly caring and loving, and she kept me updated on how my dog was doing with lots of cute pictures. You can also tell that she has plenty of experience with different kinds of dogs and really knows how to make them feel comfortable. And doggos don’t lie, you can simply tell from their behavior whether they like their sitter and whether they’ve been treated well. I could tell that my dog felt genuinely happy, comfortable, and secure staying with Jasmine. For the first time, I was actually able to relax while I was away instead of constantly worrying about him. Highly recommend!! ❤️🐶”
