“Charles did an excellent job at taking care of our very senior dog. He sent pics every day and updated us to how he was doing, how he was responding to him and his dog, and that he seemed comfortable with his surroundings. I really do appreciate his caring attitude toward Zeus; that gave us peace of mind while we were vacationing. We will definitely ask him to care for Zeus on our next vacation, and I will pass on to my friends that Charles is a wonderful canine caregiver. I appreciate Charles and Rover!”
“Myra is amazing! She was reliable, caring and kept me update about my two dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed and on their normal routine. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with them again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking from someone dependable and compassionate to care for their pets.”
“Teddy and Rumi absolutely love Ms. Karen and her family! She is very flexible, reliable, and truly cares for them as if they were her own. I always feel at ease knowing they are in a safe, loving, and attentive environment. Karen provides updates and makes sure their needs are met, which means so much to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. We are so grateful to have found her!”
“This was my first time leaving Lulu with anyone other than friends or family, since adopting her 2+ years ago. I was extremelyyyy nervous about leaving her, but Kathy sent daily texts and photos to put my mind at ease. She even let us pick up Lulu on the last day at 10PM, and greeted me with chocolate! Who doesn't love that? My first DogVacay experience was a great one, and we will definitely be using Kathy again!”
“Tonya took excellent care of my diabetic cat for 10 days. She gave her the shots that she needed and sent me pictures and let her have her own space to stay in. Tonya lives on a nice farm with other animals around and she is a total professional. Very glad we met you, Tonya!”
“We highly recommend Donald. He is Duke’s favorite sitter. Donald takes excellent care of our labradoodle and is extremely responsive. We appreciate the pictures and twice daily updates. We will continue to be a repeat customer.”
“If you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you! It was such a blessing to go on vacation and not worry about my pet! My dog is old, blind and deaf, so I do worry when I go on vacation. If I am not near, he gets very anxious. And it is hard for him to navigate a new place. But after our meet and greet, my own anxiety began to leave. Rachel and Donald sent more than one daily update with pictures. For once, I was not in a hurry to get back home! When I picked him up, he acted like he would have been fine to stay longer. I could tell they loved on and cared for my dog as well as I do. I will definitely use Rachel and Donald every time I go out of town. Again, if you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you.”
“I’m so glad I found Laura! We recently moved from out of state and so needed to start over with a trusted dog sitter for our 2 littles. They had been with the same sitter for several years so this would be a big change for them. Laura immediately set me at ease with her immaculate home and her calm manner. While Luna and Ruby were in high alert with the new house, they settled in quickly. Laura sent many updates and pics which was reassuring. We are confident we have found our new permanent sitter! Thank you, Laura for taking good care of our girls!”
“Brooke and her family were very sweet! I am so glad they were available last minute to watch our pup. Fozzie even whined in the car when we left, I can tell he enjoyed himself!!”
“Jill was our first experience with Rover and she was amazing! Between almost daily updates along with adorable photos, we can tell Tallula had a great time with Jill and her family! I would highly recommend using Jill and will definitely keep her in mind the next time we’re out of town! ?”
“I recently hired Michelle to care for my dog, and it was an amazing experience! From our first meeting, it was clear that Michelle is a true dog lover. She took the time to understand my dog's needs, which made me feel at ease. Throughout the stay, Michelle provided excellent care, ensuring my dog received plenty of love, exercise, and attention. She sent regular updates and adorable photos, and videos showing that my dog was enjoying his time. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle for anyone needing a caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my dog!”

“I felt so confident about my cat Turtle’s care while I was away because Madison was watching her. She is very reliable and was so good to Turtle. She sent me lots of pictures and a little report twice a day on how Turtle was doing. I would definitely recommend Madison to anyone needing loving, attentive care for their kitties while they are away.”
“Christina cared for a stray cat who has lived around the exterior of our house for 3 years. He is our "outside" cat and we love him very much. Christina made sure he had refreshed food and water daily. We are very happy with our Rover experience. :)”
“This was our first time using Alyssa, and she was easily the best cat sitter we've ever had. She gave us details and pictures of everything she did at each visit. I can tell she provided the kitties with a lot of love and attention, because they were very relaxed when we got home.”
“Chris was excellent and our chocolate lab loved him! We really appreciate his attention to River, promptness on his drop-in visits and feedback after each visit! We will definitely use Chris again and highly recommend him for dog care!”
“Jenna has been great with our pup! We were so grateful that she was available on short notice for this stay. She continues to love our pup as if he were her own. She gives me the peace of mind I need to know that our dog is taken care of while we are away.”
“Ella has been great with the pups stopping by multiple times a day and playing with them and treating them as her own she is great with the dogs I'll definitely be using her again...”
About: Hi! I am Alanie, I hope to meet you and your (fur) baby soon! Here is a little more about me: I have owned animals my entire life. While I am partial to dogs, I am my friend's cat's favorite auntie. To know more about me as someone providing care for your pet, it is important that you know about mine! Athena (also answers to Wiggle Butt, Feenie Weenie, and Miss Afeenz) is my ultimate side-kick. She is truly the highlight of my day and I treat her as family (because she is!). Through having Athena, I know the love of a pet parent. There is nothing I would not do to make sure she is safe, happy, and healthy. I do not trust her with just anyone, therefore I completely understand the trust and bravery it takes allowing someone else to care for your (fur) baby. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care that I give my own Athena, because that is what I would want from anyone watching her. <3 Aside from caring for Athena, I have cared for several dogs (and cats alike!) for overnight care when parents are out of town, daily walks, feeding schedules, and plenty of pets and playtime. I have experience supporting the puppy training process and am happy to care for puppers and kittens alike. I currently work 8-5pm, however, can provide potty breaks and play time with flexibility throughout the day. Additionally, I am happy to provide early morning walks, evening walks, and overnight stays to ensure your family member can relax at home while you're away. Please note, I am only able to accept weekday bookings for dogs that can be left unattended for at least 4 hours at a time. Throughout the weekend, I am more flexible and can be present with your fur baby and all their needs. My services would be best suited for someone who works overnights or odd schedules that want extra support at home through serving kibble dinner, evening strolls, play time and belly rubs, as well as overnight stays. I am also able to provide weekend care. Planning a beach trip this summer? Don't worry about your furry friends. I am happy to provide overnight care as long as your baby can stay home throughout the day for at least 4 hours without a potty break. If you have any questions about whether your needs would be a good fit with my availability, please feel free to message me. At this time, I am offering care in the pet's home environment. This is easiest for both myself and your fury friend - there's no place like home! I am happy to keep your pet's daily/weekly schedule as closely followed as possible. Walks around the neighborhood? Let's go. Fenced in yard for ample ball time? Happy to do so! If your pet is typically crated throughout the day, I can also assist with this. I am also used to and happy to allow your pet to free roam with as much (or as little) supervision as they are used to having when Mom and Dad are home. I can also provide light routine grooming (brushing, etc) depending on your pet's needs while you're away. I am also happy to provide other typical daily needs (feeding, providing medication, etc). Just let me know how best to serve your pet in their environment and we can make it happen. They won't even notice you're not home! (just kidding).
About: I have experience with all kinds of pet care. From cats and dogs to chinchillas and bearded dragons. I am experience with medication and well as behavioral I work PRN at 2 nursing homes and I am in school for 13.5 hours a week! I do make my own schedule for the most part so providing adequate care has never been an issue. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am also fire/flood trained. I have been told I am a perfectionist and I do hyperfocus but since I am watching your pets that is a good thing!
About: My name is Siera, I’m 26, I live in an apartment in Conover with my roommate Savannah. We have a big backyard for playing and there’s a nearby park. I love pet sitting and I need to make a little extra money for tuition and student loans. I am prepared to show your pups a loving and fun time. I can sit for a few types of pets including cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, as well as house sitting with basic household tasks. Willing to help as often as needed. I am willing to accommodate for special needs. I love to go on runs, so dog walking is right up my alley. Caring, loving and fun your fur babies will enjoy time and time again. Contact me if you have any questions. Thank you. I currently work in home with clients from 3:30-6:30 M-F. So I am not available for Pick Up during this time. Ask any additional questions as needed. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual routine and needs. In my client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal schedule by providing fresh food and water, daily walks, exercise, playtime, medication administration (if needed), litter box or yard cleanup, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also keep the home tidy by cleaning up after pets, bringing in mail or packages, watering plants if requested, and ensuring the home remains secure while the owner is away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with regular feeding, exercise, enrichment activities, and constant supervision. I treat every pet like family, paying close attention to their behavior and well-being to ensure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their pets are receiving reliable, personalized care.
“Iliana took great care of my cat while I was out of town! She made sure he had everything he needed and was easy to communicate with. I got updates every day, which gave me peace of mind. I'll be booking with her again!”
“This was our first experience with Rover.com and with Arthur D.; we could not have been more pleased. We had recently and unexpectedly said goodbye to our four-year-old cat after a sudden illness, and we weren’t even sure we would be able to take our planned trip. Arthur went above and beyond, adjusting his schedule on very short notice to accommodate us. Communicating with Arthur through the Rover platform was as easy as replying to a text message. The updates following each visit far exceeded our expectations and included pictures of every pet, along with thoughtful details about their eating, behavior, and overall well-being. Arthur was attentive, dependable, and genuinely kind during a very difficult time for our family. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy caregiver for their pets.”

About: I have had, rescued, and taken care of a wide variety of dogs from smaller malti-poos to a Dane who had been living on the street, was skin and bones, and ended up 188 lbs. Currently I have Pippa, a 7-year-old Labrador who is allergic to chicken, so I make part of her food. I am home most of the time, except when I host overly-complex board games at the Hickory Library or the Highland Rec Center -- and those sessions are at most 3 hours long. I am home most days, except when I am hosting 3-hour board games at the local library and rec center. Otherwise, I take care of our house and rental properties. I have a large fenced yard -- especially-so since my house sits along North Center Street. I also use carabiners to make sure that gates are locked.
“I came up to North Carolina to spend the summer in the cooler weather. Being by myself with a senior dog meant that I would have to constantly care for him. I decided to look for somebody that I could trust that was loving and caring and had dog whisperer vibes, especially when it comes to senior dogs. I am lucky to have met Jenny. From the moment of our meet and greet , Shemp , who is usually a high anxiety dog was calm and happy. She updated me with pictures, walked him and gave me the peace of mind to know that my dog will be well cared for, which he was. I will definitely be using Jenny again and would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect person to care for their pets.”

“Sherrie was so sweet to my young dog! I dropped my dog, Rosie, off for doggy daycare while I went to work. I picked her up around 4pm and she was exhausted! Sherrie has a great outdoor space with a huge yard and kept me updated with pictures of her playing fetch with my dog all day! She was a phenomenal Rover!”
“Laura watched our 3 year old Golden Retriever for a couple hours while we were dropping our kids off at a nearby camp. She was very kind and responsive and took great care of him! Thank you!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, giving me about 20 years of experience. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am confident with playful puppies, calm senior pets, and even shy or anxious animals. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. Daily walks, playtime, and feeding can easily be adjusted around my routine, so your pets always get the attention they need. Whether mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I am available to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry family members I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed.

About: I’ve owned or taken care of dogs for over 50 years. Friends and family are very comfortable calling on me to care for their dogs. Currently, I am fully retired and miss my own little fur baby. I would love to snuggle and care for your dog. My hours are very flexible to suit your needs. I regularly walk dogs out doors and give them much attention. In my neighborhood all dogs will be kept on a leash as per the law.

“Kassie was awesome. Buddy had a blast & enjoyed the day there. Kassie & her crew of furry friends were great hosts. The ONLY thing that prevents a 5 star rating is a lack of a fence. Kassie took Buddy for great walks, provided a great indoor environment, but he got close to the road when we left. That was on me as I didn’t have him leashed up. If Kassie ever gets a fence in the equation, it would be a “6l” on a scale to 5. Definitely will ask Kassie to Buddy watch again.”
About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.
About: I have nearly 10 years of experience with dogs. For the last 4 years I have been running my own business where I breed health tested and titled AKC Labrador Retrievers. All of my dogs live in my home. They are our “kids” and our entire world revolves around them. Prior to this I managed 2 different boarding/daycare/training facilities, one in Wilmington NC and one in Catawba NC. Due to this experience, I have learned so much about dog behavior, training, proper structure within a household and/or pack of dogs, etc. I take pride in how well behaved my own dogs are as well as how they are able to co-exist with all dogs. My entire life revolves around my dogs and any dogs that stay with us. I am home 24/7 with the occasional hour or two of running errands so you wouldn’t have to worry about your pup(s) being left for hours on end. I always make sure your dog(s) energy/training needs are met - mentally and physically. I also (as long as approved by the you/the owner) am happy to allow play time with our dogs under my supervision! We do require your dog(s) to be up to date on parvo and rabies vaccines or titer testing. We thoroughly clean crates/floors/toys every day to ensure we are keeping a sanitary and sickness free environment.
“Dawn was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. She was friendly and easy to communicate with. My dogs were very happy when I picked them up and were exhausted on the drive home. Very pleased.”
About: My family has animals and I have spent 9 years helping take care of their dogs and two cats. I have two dogs of my own and I have trained them myself as well as knowing when they need space, fed, or walked.

I walk my animals 4 times a day or 3 times day depending on the day. I also help my family with their animals and have been for 9 years

“Jimena and her daughter are delightful dog sitters! This is an incredibly clean place. Beautiful outdoor space shade and then a great indoor kennel that’s quite large. Clean beds everywhere everything neat and clean. I was comfortable, leaving our princess pup there. Only 7 pounds are a little Papillion velt comfortable especially in a care of the owner. Lots of photos and check-in. Highly recommend.”
About: Because I work remotely, pets are never left alone! I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and energy levels. from a senior dog who became blind and deaf, which taught me patience and gentle, consistent care, to my current puppy, where I focus on training, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement for high-energy needs. I also have two cats with very different personalities, so I am very attentive to body language and always respect each pet’s comfort level, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I work remotely and am home all day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship without your pet being left alone for long periods. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment.
“Lawrence was great with my pup, and Sully absolutely loved him! He was super easygoing, attentive, and followed all of my care instructions perfectly. I never had to worry while I was away because I knew Sully was in great hands. I really appreciated the updates and the care he gave my dog. I’ll definitely be booking with Lawrence again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Drew was really punctual and went out of his way to have a meet & greet with our pup prior to doing a Walking for us. Smidge is a sweet girl but a watch dog atvheart so she can be leery of new people. Drew started as a stranger to her and ended as a buddy. Would deffinately recommend Drew for your fur baby(ies).

About: I have had dogs in my life as long as I can remember. I love all kinds of dogs. I have a small chocolate lab (1 year) and a Lab mix (approx 3 years). My life basically revolves around them. I am now a retired teacher looking for something to do. Since I love dogs and people need help with their dogs I figured I can do that and still love what I do. I am willing to come walk and play with your dog. Board your dog at my house, as long as out dogs get along. I would prefer dogs that are crate trained but if they are not we can discuss. I can come pick up your dog and take it to doggie day care and go pick it up and bring it back. Im pretty flexible. I worked with Hartmans Haven dog rescue as a foster and have had many different types of dogs in my care. I have had senior dogs and dogs recovering from surgery. I am happy to help. I love puppies and Seniors!! I have no experience on Rover.com but I have been taking care of my friends animals for many years. I can be chill and just sit and snuggle or I can take your dog for a walk. I love to throw the ball and play tug -o-war. Just let me know what you need. As of now I am at home most of the time the day. I am currently looking for part time work. I am usually up by 9:00 if I don't have anything to do. My dogs get me up by 7:00 most mornings. My dogs go out when they get up and come back in for breakfast. When weather is good they go outside and play. I often take them to day care to get them socialized. I do have a few side gigs Im working on but for the most part my schedule is flexible. The day usually ends by around 10;00pm I do not have a fenced yard yet. I am working on that. I would be leash walking your pet. My pets are crate trained when I am gone and out when I am home. They have dog beds to lay on but prefer the couch and chair. They sleep in my bed. If your dog is crate trained I have space for that based on their needs. My two dogs are dog friendly but I always want to do a meet and greet first. I am able to follow your in home routine as requested. If I have concerns I will ask you before accepting.

My home offers a calm, safe environment with a large fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I intentionally limit the number of boarding dogs so each pet receives personalized attention. Crating is used only if preferred by the owner. For drop-in visits, I take great care to respect your home while ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine.
About: I have been a dedicated animal lover for as long as I can remember, beginning my journey at age twelve with a neighborhood dog-walking business. Having owned both dogs and cats for most of my life, I am comfortable with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I recognize that every dog is unique; for instance, my own Boxer’s love for "tug" has certainly kept me on my toes and built my strength! While I am confident in my ability to bond with almost any animal, I prioritize transparency above all else. If I ever feel I am not the perfect match for your pet’s specific needs, I will communicate that immediately to ensure the safety and well-being of your dog. Professional Availability & Approach: I have recently moved back to the Hickory area and am open to taking on new clients. I prefer to discuss your specific needs and expectations upfront to ensure we are a mutual fit for a successful partnership. My philosophy is that a walk should be much more than a bathroom break—it is a vital source of fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation. Whether your dog loves playing with a favorite toy or requires consistency with basic command training, I am happy to integrate those needs into our time together. I look forward to meeting your pet and building a meaningful bond. I have open availability right now! I am ready to take any dog or cat and meet with new clients we my availability has opened . My approach to drop-in visits is centered on environmental continuity and specialized feline safety. Because I only provide care within the client’s home, I ensure your cat’s or dogs routine remains undisturbed while prioritizing the security of your property.
About: Hey everyone! My name is Luke and I graduated with my degree in Zoology from NC State University, and I absolutely love animals! I've worked at zoos, taught kids, done research in the Amazon rainforest, and worked as a vet technician. I'm pretty flexible and would love to be of help to you and your adorable pets! I have two Madagascar ground geckos and two tiger-legged tree frogs myself, and live in a house of animal lovers. I don't have any fears of dogs or cats, so that's no issue! Please reach out if you have any questions or want to know anything additional. Thanks! Luke I basically am always caring for animals in some sort of capacity. This is why I love being a Zoologist and where my love for animals come from. I take rules, and specific needs for your pets very serious. I understand that each and every pet has their own needs and working at the Zoo and Vet Clinic with all kinds of animals we required many regulations to keep all the animals safe and happy.
About: Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m a huge animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your fur babies, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide that care. I’ll also make sure you stay updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I treat every pet like they’re my own! My sister has also taught me some training skills that could be helpful. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out with any questions! I am currently working full time, however i am off on Fridays weekends. If requested or needed I could be available during the week depending on the day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. At this time I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and, depending on the day, house sitting in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I also check that everything in the home is safe and secure before leaving. If your pet enjoys walks, play, or just some company, I’m happy to spend that time with them. As I do not prefer staying in a client’s home, if it is requested I can make accommodation. I will do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions if needed, and any specific care instructions you provide. I also send photo updates and messages so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I respect your home and your pet’s space and always aim to provide reliable, trustworthy care
About: I’ve taken care of my shihtzu since he was born. He is now 6! I also recently adopted a border collie mix! I love caring for animals and seeing them thrive and grow! I work hybrid so I have a lot of free time to care for my own pets these days, as well as for others pets. I have very friendly dogs that could play with your fur baby! I love to play with frisbees or various rope toys. I have water bowls, leashes, everything a pet may need.
About: I’m a dog owner of a 4-year-old German Shepherd with epilepsy and an 8-year-old Beagle. Caring for my Shepherd has given me hands-on experience administering medication on a consistent schedule, monitoring for seizures and staying calm and responsive if one occurs. My dogs are also decently trained, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic commands and maintaining structure. Having two completely different types of breeds also gives me experience with a different energy level and the attention to both of their different needs. Together they’ve taught me how to balance exercise, rest, mental stimulation, and individualized care for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. Being a military veteran I am also reliable, and consistent. I have lived with dogs all of my life and love meeting all kinds of different breeds. I’m happy to follow your routines closely, send regular updates and photos, and provide the calm, consistent care that helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently on terminal leave from the military and will be starting my graduate program soon, with classes only on Wednesdays and Thursdays. This gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of free time on the other weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m available for sitting, and walks most days and can easily adjust around my class times to provide pet care. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and temperaments and will follow your routines, medication needs, and any special instructions closely. I can crate when needed and always prioritize supervision, safety, and lots of positive interaction so your pup feels comfortable and well cared for.
About: I’ve owned or taken care of dogs for over 50 years. Friends and family are very comfortable calling on me to care for their dogs. Currently, I am fully retired and miss my own little fur baby. I would love to snuggle and care for your dog. My hours are very flexible to suit your needs. I regularly walk dogs out doors and give them much attention. In my neighborhood all dogs will be kept on a leash as per the law.
About: I've taken care of my pets since I was 5, dogs and cats. I have bathed, fed, and consistently walked my dogs and played with my cats. I'm currently taking care of my daughter, but she has daycare 9-12 Mon-Thursday, and in the afternoons I can ask my boyfriend to take care of our daughter. I plan to take care of your pets in the client's home, and do whatever is needed to help offer the best care for your pets.
About: I am 27 year old business analyst looking for a part time job. I love pets and people so I thought this would be a great fit for me. I am a kind, determined young professional that is easy going, but also determined. I recently moved to the city from New York. In New York my parents have a golden retriever that I helped raise and look after. My roommates also had a cat on college that I helped assist. I look forward to this new opportunity and will be as polite and careful with your pets as possible. To me animals are like mini people that require a certain level of responsible. Thank you for the opportunity to look after your pets and work with you. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I am also mobile. I do have a job, but it is very flexible. Thank you. I have a fenced yard. My house is very clean and there are no hazardous materials or items around. I am very friendly and will treat your pets with the utmost kindness.
About: Hi pet-parent! I'm Coryne (pronounced "Kor-in" technically), and I'm starting a brand new career as a mental health therapist, which means I both don't have space for my own pets and need a little extra cash -- as a lifelong pet parent and animal lover who grew up around all sorts of animals; from cats and dogs, to horses and parrots, this is the first time, I'm not able to have pets of my own for awhile... so I have a big ol' hole in my heart to fill and I'm hoping you let me fill it with your friends while you're away! EXPERIENCE: - Primary professional and personal experience: dogs, cats, horses - Additional (minor) experience: bunnies and birds - Experience administering oral/topical meds, I know all the tricks, and happy to learn yours! - Experience with animal-reactive pets. I know how to dance the dance with them with multi-pet households where not everyone gets along perfectly. - Experience thinking on my feet when the unexpected happens, you can rely on me to figure it out, even if you forgot to write that one thing down. HIRING ME: - I'm happy sleeping on the couch, no need to make up a bed for me unless your pets prefer it. <3 - I will need some strong wi-fi for that remote work life, but that's about it. - Some pets are a bit wary of males, but are typically still comfortable with me even though I'm more male-presenting. - If you want pictures while you're away, I'm happy to blow up your phone with pictures and updates - my phone is full of 'em already and I love it! I work remotely, so pet care is easily something I can work into my routine in nearly any shape that takes for your own pets. I go above and beyond for my own pets, and I'd hope anyone watching them would do the same. So, I hope to provide that to your pets in any way you deem fit. I'm pretty good at learning and mimicking your routines with them so they feel as at ease as possible while you're away. Tell me all the funny little steps you have; even if they're crazy, tell me, and I'll do my best to make it happen.

“Charles did an excellent job at taking care of our very senior dog. He sent pics every day and updated us to how he was doing, how he was responding to him and his dog, and that he seemed comfortable with his surroundings. I really do appreciate his caring attitude toward Zeus; that gave us peace of mind while we were vacationing. We will definitely ask him to care for Zeus on our next vacation, and I will pass on to my friends that Charles is a wonderful canine caregiver. I appreciate Charles and Rover!”
“Tonya took excellent care of my diabetic cat for 10 days. She gave her the shots that she needed and sent me pictures and let her have her own space to stay in. Tonya lives on a nice farm with other animals around and she is a total professional. Very glad we met you, Tonya!”
“We highly recommend Donald. He is Duke’s favorite sitter. Donald takes excellent care of our labradoodle and is extremely responsive. We appreciate the pictures and twice daily updates. We will continue to be a repeat customer.”
“If you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you! It was such a blessing to go on vacation and not worry about my pet! My dog is old, blind and deaf, so I do worry when I go on vacation. If I am not near, he gets very anxious. And it is hard for him to navigate a new place. But after our meet and greet, my own anxiety began to leave. Rachel and Donald sent more than one daily update with pictures. For once, I was not in a hurry to get back home! When I picked him up, he acted like he would have been fine to stay longer. I could tell they loved on and cared for my dog as well as I do. I will definitely use Rachel and Donald every time I go out of town. Again, if you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you.”
“I’m so glad I found Laura! We recently moved from out of state and so needed to start over with a trusted dog sitter for our 2 littles. They had been with the same sitter for several years so this would be a big change for them. Laura immediately set me at ease with her immaculate home and her calm manner. While Luna and Ruby were in high alert with the new house, they settled in quickly. Laura sent many updates and pics which was reassuring. We are confident we have found our new permanent sitter! Thank you, Laura for taking good care of our girls!”
“Brooke and her family were very sweet! I am so glad they were available last minute to watch our pup. Fozzie even whined in the car when we left, I can tell he enjoyed himself!!”
“Jill was our first experience with Rover and she was amazing! Between almost daily updates along with adorable photos, we can tell Tallula had a great time with Jill and her family! I would highly recommend using Jill and will definitely keep her in mind the next time we’re out of town! ?”
“Natalie was great and really sweet. She took care of my cats well and even worked with me on a last minute request! If I ever need boarding again she will be my go to. Thank you Natalie!”
“Ginia and her family were absolutely wonderful! Bentley has never been left with anyone before and she eased my fears with photos and daily updates. Bentley had a great time, I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving environment for their pet!”
“Our family appreciates Jimena opening her home and caring for our fur baby Keanu. Thank you Jimena for the pictures and video you sent. Whenever we are back in town we will be reaching out to Jimena for her exceptional dog sitting services. 💕😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind big or small. I am very gentle and loving towards them. Knowing they hold a special place in my heart every-time I get to play around with my dogs and others I come in contact with. I can walk or play with your dogs throughout the week as well. Depending on the time of day you request I will have my loyal sidekick Colton aka( my son) with me. I am very flexible with hours and schedules. I can drop by for a check in or take them on a walk. I unfortunately do not board any dogs at this time.I am only able to do check ins for cats and dogs or walks for the doggos.
“We were so pleased with Lane watching Roscoe. Roscoe seemed in good spirits when we picked him up. Lane would send us photos which made us feel good. We recommend Lane wholeheartedly. Ray & Jean”
“Ann is wonderful! She sent us daily photos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They had a blast in the doggy pool, made a new friend, and she even let our puppy try sleeping in the bed and it went really well! We will be using Ann in the future.”
“Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.”
“Lawrence was great. He sent pics, video, and updates, and he took great care of my baby. You can tell he really cares about animals. I highly recommend him for your petsitting needs.”
