Personalized care for your dog or cat - Onondaga
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Onondaga
“Brooklyn is super sweet and was very communicative which I really appreciate! I’ve never used Rover or any other site to find someone to watch my baby (my elderly cat) so I was pretty anxious, but Brooklyn was great and I will definitely be booking her again if I need someone to watch my baby!”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“My dog,Archie, loves staying at Christina’s. He can’t wait to get out of the car to go play and make new friends. He literally drags me to her door. I can always trust he is in good hands with her”
“Jackie is very sweet and kind. She took wonderful care of Luna for 10 days while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and sent pictures to show us how Luna was doing. I'll definitely call on Jackie again in the future.”
“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”
“This was the longest we’ve ever left Jamaica with someone outside of family, and we didn’t have to worry at all. Just like on our shorter trips leading up to this one, she couldn’t wait to see Amber again—she ran right over and barely looked back at us! It’s clear she absolutely loves spending time with Amber, which gives us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely continue booking with Amber for as long as she’s offering Rover services.”
“As any pet owner knows, finding a sitter you can completely trust is like striking gold. It’s not just about a service—it’s about finding someone who genuinely cares for your furry family member. I recently had the incredible good fortune to find Haley, who took amazing care of our dog, Polly. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. From the start, Haley was an amazing communicator, providing us with updates that let us know Polly was happy, safe, and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares deeply about every animal she welcomes into her home. Polly was happy and well-adjusted upon her return, which is the best indicator of the loving and attentive environment Haley provides. We are truly beyond grateful for her exceptional care. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. We're already looking forward to Polly's next stay with her in the near future!”
“Rodney took such great care of my worrisome Weimaraner, while we were out of town. I am so glad I was able to find such a compassionate and laid back dog lover, who is willing to care for someone else’s pets the way we do in our own homes. I don’t think I would ever feel comfortable leaving my dog with anyone else, after I have met Rod and his pack. Thank you again for EVERYTHING!!!”
“Lily, our 1 yr old golden stayed overnight with Kasey he dog Gracie and 3 cats. She had a great time as Kasey was welcoming and provided excellent care for her. Kasey also has a large fenced yard so lily had a lot of apace to explore. I’m super comfortable with Kasey and plan to have lily stay with her for several days while on vacation.”
“Belle was very wel cadred for ad had a great time at Krista's. She and her husband bonded quickly with her and made her feel at home. . Belle had a blast playing with the household dogs in a huge fenced yard.”
“Fabulous sitter! She was quick to reply and took care of our babe last minute. She even went out of her way to drop him off for us, and waited 5-10 minutes extra due to our event not being done yet. HIGHLY recommend! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Amazing environment. My dog has lots of room to run around as well as another playful dog so he was always active. Kimberly sent lots of pictures and my dog looked happy in every one of them.”
“Kathy was terrific with our dog. We got texts and pictures daily letting us know how things were going. She was also very accommodating with our drop off and pick up. Our family will definitely use Kathy again in the future.”
“Olivia was wonderful. She watched our dog for 5 days and sent great updates. She also gave him an oatmeal bath bc he was itchy and bought him toys. Would absolutely recommend booking with her.”
“Alice was great this weekend while I was out of town for two days! My two dogs appeared to be very happy with her and were happy as usual when I picked them up! Alice is a great communicator, shared fun pics of my pups while I was gone and was informative. I will happily use her services again!”
“Always an amazing experience with Brooke! My guys are simply part of her family at this point. She will make your pups feel like one of her own. Highly recommended!”
“Very responsive to messages! I appreciated the pictures of our dog while they were there and could see how happy Coco was being there! Thank you again! An absolute pleasure and will definitely book again if needed!”

“Kelly and Taylor did a great job caring for our beloved cats! We were very nervous since this is the first time we’ve left for a trip in years, but they reassured us with texts and photos and generally being very responsive. We will use them again!”
“Gina is the best. She always takes wonderful care of our kitty. Confirms the booking ahead of time, sends pictures during her stay and sends great notes. We could never ask for better care❤️❤️”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I got my first cat Oreo a tuxedo cat when I was 5. I’ve had all sorts of pets, from cats and dogs, to hamsters and horses. I have experience with anything from neonatal kittens to senior pets. I’m a major empath and have a soft spot for all animals and creatures. I’m looking forward to caring for your fur babies ☺️
About: While I’m new to caring for other people’s cats, I share my home with two of my own—and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that cats have their own rules. I know how to give them space when they want it, attention when they ask for it, and how to spot the little signs that tell you something’s off. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a fellow cat parent who gets it.
“I could not recommend Tracy enough. She was great checking in on our cat, making sure she was ok and giving her extra attention. Tracy communicates well and sends wonderful pics of our kitty. Highly recommend her services!!”
“Brooklyn is super sweet and was very communicative which I really appreciate! I’ve never used Rover or any other site to find someone to watch my baby (my elderly cat) so I was pretty anxious, but Brooklyn was great and I will definitely be booking her again if I need someone to watch my baby!”
“Jessica did an excellent job looking after my cat while I was gone! She came to my house twice per day to feed my cat, clean her litter, etc. Jessica was thoughtful and gave my cat some new toys for Christmas! While I was gone, Jessica gave me updates each day on how my cat was doing. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I grew up having at least one dog in my house at all times, and I have taken care of a variety of dogs for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school. I have experience with different breeds, temperaments, and sizes of dogs in all walks of life. I am well equipped to go on long walks, enjoy some playtime and enrichment, give lots of cuddles, and spend time loving your dog the way you do while you're gone! I am working part-time and have a flexible schedule to spend time with your pets! I am available during the day to give your pups the loving they need in your absence, whatever that may be. I am a capable caregiver with a lot of personal experience. I prioritize maintaining the rhythm and routine your pets prefer, whether that be long walks, the safety of a crate, enriching play time, or lots of lovin'. I am a quick learner and I am intentional in how I go about giving your dog what they need. I can manage medicine, and most special needs, just let me know in advance!
“Hunter did a great job on the first drop-in visit for my elderly, diabetic cat. She was very caring and attentive, and Cane was in perfect shape when I returned home. Hunter sent cute pics and a detailed report. I highly recommend her, and hope she'll be available next time I need a sitter!”

About: Ever since I was a child I've been taking care of both cats and dogs. I can take care of your friends in any condition! I also specialize in command training alongside discipline in puppies!! I currently work part time at Meijer in the grocery department. My schedule consists of working Friday-Monday or Thursdays-Monday. I work the morning shift for the store which is 4am-12pm. Which will give me the rest of the day to play and care for your furry family members!!

If they need to be crated I can do that too. I will make sure to my fullest ability for your pet to be safe around each other and me during the process.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, and started helping care for them as soon as I was about 12 years old.

I’m also the designated cat sitter for my friends and family and have lots of experience administering medications (my cat has high blood pressure and kidney disease).

“Jacklyn, did an amazing job for us. We were gone for a week. We hated to leave our cat for so long. Jacklyn came to our house 3 days and fed her and would spend a 1/2 hour at the house. It was really nice to be on vacation and know someone was checking in on our girl. I highly recommend Jacklyn!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Onondaga
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs for over 30 years and have provided backup support for a very successful petting sitting service for over 7 years. I’m currently working part-time. I’m a widow with grown children that live on their own. I have a Pomeranian of my own who is 10 years old. I’m available often. I have a small dog of my own to keep your pup company. Your pup will be leashed when walked around my circular HOA community
“Alice did an amazing job with Oreo! She was so kind, patient and gentle with her. She clearly communicated with me about how her day went and asked questions about her needs. Her utmost priority is safety of the dogs in her care, which also made me feel very comfortable! Thank you so much, Alice :)”
“Nicole and her family were amazing with our puppy. She even made a concerted effort to try to use the same methods of training we have been using at home. My kids and puppy love her. As someone from out of state with no friends or family in the area, Nicole will be my first "go to" for the future! It's hard to trust folks with your lil ones sometimes!”
About: I have offered animal care services for 15 years. My experience includes daycare, medication administration, drop in visits, dog walks, and care for other animals such as cats, chickens, and other farm animals! I have little kids so services I offer require your dog be comfortable around kids, although their direct interaction will be limited. I have 2 dogs at my home. I currently work from home and have open availability. I am typically awake early, and can adjust my schedule around your needs with the exception of my kids bedtime routine :) I have a fenced in yard. I offer a crate if needed for eating or breaks. I offer baby gates if needed. I have many years experience and both of my parents have worked in the animal field for all my life.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have a 12 year old Doberman, a 2 year old pitbull mix, 4 black cats, 2 donkeys, 6 chickens and a parakeet. In the recent past, I worked as a temporary Animal Care Technician at the Ingham County Animal Control which gave me experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and cats with different behaviors. I also learned a lot about giving medications and vaccines, animal enrichment, feeding guidelines and more. I am very interested in dog training so your dogs will get some free training as I am sure I will be practicing any new techniques I learn with my clients! Recently I opened a small dog daycare a mile down the road from my home. Any dog that stays with me will likely get to go down to play with other dogs during the day. If you would like to learn more, just ask! Pet Care is my full time job. I love what I do. Please see my calendar or check with me on my availability for specific dates and times. BOARDING: Any dog I board must get along with my dogs. We will set up a free Meet and Greet at my home before the visit gets booked to make sure it will be a good fit. I have a large fenced in back yard but can also take your dog for daily walks if you prefer. We do also have 2 donkeys that share a fence line with our backyard area. They are used to dogs and have never broken through the fence. I always treat others pets as my own. I interact with them with patience, gentleness and love. I only use positive reinforcement. I am an active person and love to play ball and go for walks or slow jogs, but I also love to cuddle with any furry friends. Pets are family!
“Jason and Kristen have taken such great care of our dog Eddie. He usually has separation anxiety, but always RUNS to their door to be played with and cared for by this family. My requests and quirks are respected, photos are sent and communication response is as close to immediate as one can be. I rest easily knowing my dog is in responsible, caring hands!!”
About: Your dog will be my dog while in my care. I am a huge animal lover who has always made my animals a part of my family, not just an animal. Starting May 4th, I will be training for a new job. My training hours will be 8-5, if you can work around those time please reach out. My yard is not fenced so your babies will only be outside when I am out there with them, leashed if required. I do not agree with leaving a dog alone all night when they are already seeing a difference with their family being gone. If they are dog friendly they would have socialization as well with my friends and family dogs so they could get some interaction and extra exercise! I currently work from home so frequent potty breaks or administration of medication would not be an issue. We would be one big happy family all day long My dogs are not crated when I leave the house but do have an extra large one if required for your baby. If you need me to do a drop in visit, my hours for availability are in the air for the next couple of weeks until I am given my new works hours.
“Kasey is absolutely incredible. As a first-time pet parent, I’m naturally a little anxious, but she made the entire experience seamless and reassuring from start to finish. Rosie had such wonderful, positive exposure to her two sweet dogs and even her kitty — which was so important to me. I could tell Rosie was not only safe, but genuinely thriving in a well-balanced, loving environment. The socialization alone is priceless. Kasey’s communication is top-tier. She sent consistent updates and videos that gave me total peace of mind. Seeing Rosie playing, exploring, and happily interacting made all the difference. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which I truly appreciated. I feel so lucky to have found her and will absolutely be requesting her for all future needs. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾”
About: Been around dogs since birth. I understand dogs better than I understand people. Trained my dogs to do basic stuff within first couple days of having them and won't have a problem doing the same with yours if wanted. Open to any dates at any time of the day. Currently this is my only job to try to get enough experience to open my own board and train My dogs free roam around the yard. Neither of them step outside the boundaries I have established for them. No shock collars, no invisible fence needed just a firm understanding between my dogs and I
“Victoria & Rishi are incredible. They were responsive, kind, thoughtful about their day report back, and overall lovely folks. Their home was clean and perfectly organized for pup play. They were thoughtful to integrate their own dogs slowly on Winston’s behalf. Overall, I am SO grateful I found them. I completely trust their discretion and never once felt myself worried about leaving Winston in their care. In addition, Winston was so exhausted after daycare, which means he was able to play hard. I cannot recommend these two enough! I will definitely use their services again in the future.”
“Jessica was great, helped ease he introduction of our dogs and was very gentle and patient with my Bodie. She sent photos and the dogs looked like they were having a fun time. He came home happy and tired.”
“Ellen is super responsive and gets back to you right away! We recently moved into town and needed a sitter with one week notice. Ellen set up a meet and greet prior to our daycare date with us as soon as possible. Kiwi came back happy and tired! Ellen provided photos and updates throughout the day too!”
“Quinn ran in the door heading straight for the toys Yulia had prepared. He enjoyed himself, went right to sleep as soon as we got home. We will definitely check if Yulia is available if we need day care in Michigan again.”

About: I’ve loved all animals my entire life, and have always had atleast one dog of my own. I have been in the petcare business for over ten years now. I started out in grooming a bit over ten years ago, later on l was the boarding supervisor at a dog daycare pool and boarding facility. I later went back to grooming while also doing Rover dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting and boarding at my house. I moved to Nebraska and became the Kennel manager at Town and Country humane society where l helped save and rehome lots of dogs. While at Town and Country l completed and internship with Wildling Dog training and have been training dogs professionally ever since. I have worked with dogs on all ends of the spectrum, from dog/people reactive dogs to overly confident and exited pups. I’m currently enrolled at UNOmaha studying biology and environmental sciences. I am a young, passionate and energetic guy; with a positive attitude and an immense love for animals. I speak spanish and a bit of french so l can absolutely accommodate for a language barrier. In my time working with animals(especially dogs) l have been able yo spend thousands of hours studying dog behaviors and body language. I have had lots of experience administering medications and feeding dogs with special needs. Over all, l have a deep passion for animals and their care. I live by the belief that we must protectand speak for animals as they have no voices of their own. I am available to take care of your babies as needed and l can work around your schedule. I would prefer that you please let me know if you’ll need my services a week in advance, however l am absolutely willing to make room in case of emergency and short notice cases. We have a fenced in yard at home which we allow the dogs to play in ONLY under supervision. I keep a very close eye on all my pups and other critters.
About: I've had different dogs in the house for my whole life. As a kid my family brought dogs in for foster care. We've taken care of multiple dogs with disabilities, including deaf dogs and partially blind dogs. Dogs get along with me well and I'm good at getting shy dogs to warm up to me. I've also volunteered with the Jackson County Animal Shelter, working with the cats at PetSmart. I've also taken care of relatives'/friends'/neighbors' pets. Currently I spend most of my time at home working on my online classes so I will have plenty of time to spend caring for your dog. On the rare chance that I'm not home at least one of my parents are in the house and will be able to fill in for me while I'm out. The dogs that I own eat at the same time everyday and go out as needed, but if your dogs need to be treated differently it will be easy to change things for them. Just fill me in on what your pet needs to be taken care of properly and I should be able to get it done.
About: Hi! My name is Kylee, and I'm a reliable and experienced pet caregiver with 6+ years of dog handling and training experience, 13 years of cat care experience, and 5 years of caring for guinea pigs and other small animals. I am also CPR and First Aid certified for cats and dogs, and I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every visit. I prefer in-home pet care only (at the client's home), as I have my own pets at home, including 5 dogs and 3 cats. My services include drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, litter box and cage cleaning, medication administration, puppy care, and overnight stays. I have experience with large and small dogs, leash training, basic obedience reinforcement, and high-needs care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. I am dependable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide attentive, compassionate care so pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. My schedule is completely open on the weekends and Wednesdays, and I work part-time Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. But I am available after 4:30 those days. I am only comfortable caring for your animals in their home as I have 5 dogs and 3 cats of my own. All animals are treated as they are my own babies.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Onondaga
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child in 4H. I’ve had all sorts of pets, from cats and dogs, to hamsters and horses. I have experience with anything from neonatal kittens to senior pets. I’m a major empath and have a soft spot for all animals and creatures. I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own,with compassion and common sense. I’m looking forward to caring for your fur babies ☺️ I actually just moved to the area fairly recently from New Jersey, and I work from home so this would be an ideal way to fill my spare time. ☺️ I come equipped with experience with all kinds of pets, along with common sense and basic compassion for animals. I treat my pets like my children, and I would treat yours with those same standards.
About: Hi! I’m Mariah, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to a big, goofy dog and two sweet cats. While I’m new to professional pet care, I’ve spent years caring for my own animals and know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting—and I bring a calm, playful, and structured approach to every visit. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a good walk, or keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal like one of my own: with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind—and your pets a new friend they can feel safe and happy with. I currently am a Preschool Teacher so I work Monday-Friday 8am-4:30. So I’m available on weekends. Summers I’m off so I will adjust my days and times when summer draws nearer. Whether I’m visiting your home for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I do everything I can to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—mealtimes, meds, playtime, litter boxes, the works—and always give your pet the attention, affection, and patience they deserve. For dogs, I bring a calm, structured energy to walks and make sure they get both exercise and fun. For cats, I understand that comfort and familiarity are everything—I move at their pace and respect their boundaries while still making time for play or snuggles if they’re into it. Every visit is about making your pet feel safe, seen, and loved—just like they would with you

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my entire life. Growing up with dogs and cats of all sizes—from tiny Shih Tzus to massive Mastiffs—has given me firsthand experience in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Since my teens, I’ve volunteered at a kennel and the Humane Society, deepening my skills and love for working with pets. As a reliable and attentive pet sitter, I’ll treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether they need cuddles, exercise, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide the care and attention they deserve. Let me know how I can help give you peace of mind while you’re away! Currently, I have just moved into the area and have lots of availability! I also am currently going to school online, so that helps free my schedule. Willing to book unanticipated appointments as well :) In my client’s home, I focus on providing attentive, personalized care. I ensure pets stay on their feeding schedules, can administer oral medications responsibly, and adapt to their unique needs—whether that means long walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.
About: All my life I have been taking care of dogs, whether it’s puppies or senior dogs. I find dogs interesting and I love watching them in their natural setting. I can definitely tune into your dog’s body language and give them what they need. And my friends and family are always asking me for help with their pets! As of right now I’m available Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday all day! Then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday I’m only available until two. This will soon change! I don’t offer pets in my home, but I will be glad to come to yours and take care of all your pets needs! If you have pets that require special care, even medication, I will be happy to accommodate that. Or if they just need playtime or to use the bathroom. I’m happy to do whatever you need!
About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m a dependable, structured sitter who understands that pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and cared for—just like at home. As a busy mom managing a full household, I naturally bring consistency, patience, and attention to detail into everything I do—including pet care. I’m especially great with dogs who: • prefer routine • have a little anxiety • need calm, steady energy You can expect: ✔ timely communication ✔ daily photo + message updates ✔ a clean, safe, low-stress environment ✔ someone who treats your pet like family—but with structure I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and I take that seriously. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of companionship for your pet. I walk often myself so I’d be happy to exercise with your pet as well. I have a large yard that is unfenced. I’m open to coming to your home as well. I also have two daughters that are dog lovers that can’t wait to play with and love on your pets!
About: I have taken care of many animals. I was raised on a dairy farm and my family has had dogs my whole life. My family currently has 3 dogs. I am currently working part time in Onondaga so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I enjoy spending my free time with animals. I live on a farm so I have plenty of room for pups to run around. I also have a fenced in area if needed.
“Brooklyn was flexible and easy to work with. I will certainly look for her again next time. We met prior to her scheduled walking of my Pomsky, Razia to give her access to my apartment and discuss details. She is very nice and professional. Thanks, again!”

I’m happy to help keep your pets happy and cared for whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities.

About: As a kid i’ve always been surrounded by animals, all kinds! I’ve worked with dogs learning how to shake, sit and lay! I’ve dog sat for multiple families and friends and have extended experience. I’ve also volunteered since middleschool to help animals on the streets and many rescues! Dog sitting isn’t just something to do for money, but for love and a hobby! I am a college student who works part time, so working around my schedule will be pretty easy! I often find myself with free time and would love to use it with animals! I’m a very patient person when it comes to animals, my yard is not fenced but I am more than willing to take a walk as many times as needed!
About: I grew up having at least one dog in my house at all times, and I have taken care of a variety of dogs for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school. I have experience with different breeds, temperaments, and sizes of dogs in all walks of life. I am well equipped to go on long walks, enjoy some playtime and enrichment, give lots of cuddles, and spend time loving your dog the way you do while you're gone! I am working part-time and have a flexible schedule to spend time with your pets! I am available during the day to give your pups the loving they need in your absence, whatever that may be. I am a capable caregiver with a lot of personal experience. I prioritize maintaining the rhythm and routine your pets prefer, whether that be long walks, the safety of a crate, enriching play time, or lots of lovin'. I am a quick learner and I am intentional in how I go about giving your dog what they need. I can manage medicine, and most special needs, just let me know in advance!
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs for over 30 years and have provided backup support for a very successful petting sitting service for over 7 years. I’m currently working part-time. I’m a widow with grown children that live on their own. I have a Pomeranian of my own who is 10 years old. I’m available often. I have a small dog of my own to keep your pup company. Your pup will be leashed when walked around my circular HOA community

About: When I meet someone on the street it's usually because I saw their dog first and wanted to pet it. I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid. From St. Bernards to Rat Terriers and everything in between, I'd love to keep your pet company or take them out to burn off some energy, whatever they may need. I am a homemaker and stay at home mom. My schedule is flexible, just need a day or two notice in order to make a commitment. we have a corgi mix in our house currently, as well as a rescued cat. At this time I am not able to have another dog in my home.
About: I am recent college graduate and a new high school teacher, so my summers are 100% free. Once school begins, I would be doing afternoon walks or weekend overnights. I grew up with 2 Yorkies and rescued my own 150 lb golden retriever the size of a Great Dane in 2014 (now 9 years old). I have a great deal of animal behavior experience from my own pets both big and small. I have done a great deal of training as well from working with dogs through college getting the basic commands, walking on a leash, and potty training. I also have done quite a bit with my rescue who had horrible manners and mild agression, but he know walks without a leash on all types of property and is a completely different dog. I teach outdoor education and physical education, so I love to go on long walks at the forest preserve and would be willing to run with your dogs, walk them around the neighborhood, or take them to the dog park. I have all types of bowls, backpacks, and water containers so no matter where we go they will have the proper hydration. I am a very outgoing and trustworthy person and would do everything possible to keep your pets safe and happy.
About: I've taken care of dogs both large and small breed since I was a kid for myself as well as other family members. Beyond dogs, I grew up raising cattle and have had various small animal pets as well. Currently have a Black Lab (Cruz), who is a gentle giant. I work full-time, but I'm willing to spend my lunch break with your pup. I also have the ability to care for your pup in the evening if needed. Walks, drop-ins, etc! Just let me know how I can help. Each pet has its own "vibe" in my opinion. Prior to caring for your pet, I would ask some questions to help me better understand THEM and their needs. When it is time to take care of them, I would do my best to ensure that they know I'm safe and simply want to be their buddy. Some pets aren't so trusting at first (grew up with a Black Lab like this), so it may take time....and that is perfectly okay. My goal is not to overload them, and let them warm up to me at their own pace.

“Brooklyn is super sweet and was very communicative which I really appreciate! I’ve never used Rover or any other site to find someone to watch my baby (my elderly cat) so I was pretty anxious, but Brooklyn was great and I will definitely be booking her again if I need someone to watch my baby!”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“My dog,Archie, loves staying at Christina’s. He can’t wait to get out of the car to go play and make new friends. He literally drags me to her door. I can always trust he is in good hands with her”
“Jackie is very sweet and kind. She took wonderful care of Luna for 10 days while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and sent pictures to show us how Luna was doing. I'll definitely call on Jackie again in the future.”
“This was the longest we’ve ever left Jamaica with someone outside of family, and we didn’t have to worry at all. Just like on our shorter trips leading up to this one, she couldn’t wait to see Amber again—she ran right over and barely looked back at us! It’s clear she absolutely loves spending time with Amber, which gives us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely continue booking with Amber for as long as she’s offering Rover services.”
“As any pet owner knows, finding a sitter you can completely trust is like striking gold. It’s not just about a service—it’s about finding someone who genuinely cares for your furry family member. I recently had the incredible good fortune to find Haley, who took amazing care of our dog, Polly. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. From the start, Haley was an amazing communicator, providing us with updates that let us know Polly was happy, safe, and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares deeply about every animal she welcomes into her home. Polly was happy and well-adjusted upon her return, which is the best indicator of the loving and attentive environment Haley provides. We are truly beyond grateful for her exceptional care. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. We're already looking forward to Polly's next stay with her in the near future!”
“Rodney took such great care of my worrisome Weimaraner, while we were out of town. I am so glad I was able to find such a compassionate and laid back dog lover, who is willing to care for someone else’s pets the way we do in our own homes. I don’t think I would ever feel comfortable leaving my dog with anyone else, after I have met Rod and his pack. Thank you again for EVERYTHING!!!”
