“Summer took great care of my anxious dog. She was patient and kind, so my girl was able to eventually relax. Summer was very responsive, and sent lots of pictures while I was away. I would hire her again.”
“Jess took exceptional care of our older Bernese Mtn dog, Gracie. Just as her background on Rover indicates, Jess is well-versed in special care with administering meds and handling our dog who has some issues with weakness. Her care goes beyond those two qualities! Our dog loved her stay there as to how great she looked when we picked her up! Jess gave us a daily photo update and stayed connected with us about an issue Gracie had, which was quickly resolved. Wonderful peace of mind. We can't say enough great things about Jess. She is the best!”
“Jason was super helpful with our last minute request to have Blu stay with him. He was very understanding of our situation and we really appreciate him helping us out! Will definitely use Jason in the future!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“I was super nervous about leaving my puppy Simba for the first time. Zachary and his family took great care of him. I love that the backyard is fenced in and the dogs are able to run and play. When I picked my puppy up, he wasvery relaxed and calm and you can tell he had a good time I will definitely book with Zachary and his family for all of my future dog sitting needs.”
“Ramona was a lifesaver! I had a sitter booked for Thanksgiving for over a month that cancelled the morning I was supposed to drop my dogs off. Ramona replied quickly, sent lots of pictures, and made sure my dogs were happy and comfortable!”
“Beamer just spent 2 weeks here and had the best time playing with all of his friends. The pictures that we saw showed us how much fun he was having and how hard he was playing.”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim!! She was the perfect fit for my 8yr old Mal-Shi, Ella. She took such good care of my anxious little girl, giving her lots of love & comfort, as well as paying attention to the details of her care. She absolutely treated her like the queen that she is.”
“We had a great experience with Karin! It was our first time boarding our dog, so we were nervous, but Karin sent lots of pictures and updates. Would very happily rebook!!”
“Shayna was incredible at caring for my furbaby. She went above and beyond in her care including always communicating with me through out. I think she is the best on Rover! I was nervous leaving my little one for days without me and in a strangers care, but she clearly made it easier and which gave me the confidence that my doggy would be well cared for! Boy was I right! I will book her again as my Yorkie seemed to love her lots. If you ask me she needs to open her own doggy daycare business!!!! Thank you again Shayna!!! My little one came back so happy and full of joy after being with you!!!”
“Anita was great. We got pictures and updates on how Pepper was doing each day. She is great at communication and did a great job taking care of Pepper. Her kids seem to enjoy having Pepper stay wit them.”
“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
“Kathleen and Nathan took great care of our dog, Ruthie. Lots of pictures and we really felt like they treated her like family. Will definitely ask them to watch Ruthie next time we travel!”
“Samantha was a kind and caring sitter! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She also has 2 small and very well behaved pups and this was great for socialization. Very happy to leave my puppy with Samantha.”
“Katlyn did a wonderful job watching my dog. She was quick to respond to messages, sent lots of picture updates and it was evident she truly cares about animals. We will definitely be using her again!”
“We had a great experience with Chelsea! She was very friendly, easy to communicate with, and took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. We appreciated the updates and could tell our pup was happy and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Lorie took great care of our senior dog who has lots of medical needs. She is warm and compassionate and clearly loves all of the doggies as her own. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. We felt like our dog was in better care with Lorie than when we have boarded him at the vet - and he was definitely more comfortable with a home environment. Thank you, Lorie!”
“Athena is so kind and so compassionate, my dogs loved their time wither her & her family. They loved their new friend Rufus❤️ communication was outstanding, lots of pictures. It was such a comfort knowing how well cared for and loved my boys were while I was away. They were part of her family ❤️❤️❤️”

“Katie was attentive to our two fur babies! She is our first official pet sitter and we are very pleased! We asked for small extras like getting the mail and watering a couple flower baskets during our vacation…she did that and more! She watered all plants during a heat spell and even brought back our garbage bins! Our normally shy kitty always came over to greet Katie upon her arrival. That made us feel very good! We are appreciative of Katie taking care of our two cats!”
“Amber is an amazing sitter. She will drop in on my pets and give them food and cuddles as well as send me updates and pictures, my pets absolutely loved her!”
“Maria was outstanding. My cats were chill and happy when I arrived home. She even refilled my bird feeders. Much gratitude for her love and care of Bodhi and Bear. Will definitely use again and highly recommend 💜”
“Keerie was very compassionate and professional! She was very attentive and gentle with my senior cats. I am so happy to have her care for them and will absolutely request her services in the future!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Nicole — a lifelong animal lover and self‑proclaimed helicopter dog parent. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. My babies are in heaven now so I’ve joined rover as a pet sitter. **I kindly request if you’d like to book me, please have your rover profile filled out and photos uploaded.** I’ve spent the last decade-plus loving and supporting two very different pups with very different needs. My 16‑year‑old baby boy chihuahua Harley taught me everything about caring for a truly high‑maintenance senior dog. From medications and special feeding routines to extra snuggles, slow walks, and getting bossed around. ;) I also shared my life with my 11 year old Labrador-baby girl Lexi- who recently passed away from cancer on 5/19. Navigating that journey with her taught me deep compassion, vigilance, and emotional care. I became an expert in monitoring comfort levels, adjusting daily routines, and making every moment count. These experiences shaped the way I care for every dog who comes into my home: with attentiveness, understanding, and the same level of devotion I have given my own. • I treat your dog the way I treat mine — like family. • I am extremely attentive and present. If your pup needs something, I’m there. • Senior dogs and high‑maintenance fur babies are welcome. I get them. • Dogs are absolutely allowed on furniture — cuddles are encouraged here. • We don’t have a fence, but I’m a safety‑first sitter. I leash dogs for every potty break and stay right with them. • Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be left alone. • My home is calm, cozy, and dog friendly. I call myself a helicopter dog parent because I am very cautious- I am checking the pavement temp before walks, we aren’t walking on lawns that have chemical lawn treatment flags, I have a car hammock and dog seatbelt for rides, if I run an errand the dryer won’t be on, etc. Why I Do This I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. They’re your heart. Your family. Your little shadow. I’ve been in your shoes many times, I’ve used Rover in the past and my goal is to give you that same peace of mind I always looked for — knowing your pup is safe, loved, and truly understood. On weekdays I go to the gym early in the morning and telework daily in my private office with a comfy dog friendly couch. Sometimes I am home on the weekends and sometimes not so it depends on when you need care. If you’re unsure just message me and I can see if I am free. :) if your dog can join us on the boat or on camping trips I can be more flexible with you. Our non-smoking home is pet friendly and I have a 12 year old daughter who loves animals. I do not have any animals in my home. For potty breaks your pet would be leashed.
“So glad I came across Lindsay, I had to head out of town last minute and she came in clutch. We weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand but we were able to figure something out and everything turned out fine. Will definitely keep her mind for the future!”
“Halie is an exceptional person and sitter!! We are so appreciative of her kindness to our 4 rescue cats. They all loved her and that’s saying a lot as one of our babies is super duper skittish. Cat moms and dads- totally book with Halie! So grateful for her and so happy to have the peace of mind that comes with complete trust of your fur babies when you go out of town!! 10/10!! Thank you so much Halie!!!!”
“Taylor was so great with my Cleo! She was available on short notice and was willing to meet us prior to going away for a few days. I was really worried how Cleo would react, he is an older dog and protective, but she handled him so very well! Thank so much Taylor! I will be reaching out again!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I am a true cat lady at heart and I’ve been a cat lover since I could walk. I’ve found homes for strays and helped feed and care for them in my neighborhood. Cats are pretty independent and easy to care for, but I have experience with administering specific medications and can help depending on if your pet tolerates it! Can clean cat boxes, feed, water, play and cuddle your pet if you’re away!
“This was my first time using Rover & what an amazing experience Katie provided! She’s incredible communicative, sent us cute pictures of our cats at each drop in, and was overall just a very kind & reliable person to work with. Absolutely would recommend Katie and I know we’ll be reaching out to her again in the future to come hang with our cats :)”
About: I am a caring and dependable dog walker with a genuine love and respect for animals. I currently walk two dogs Tuesday through Friday and have built a strong bond with them. One was shy and barked at me at first, but now happily runs up to greet me—an experience I truly value. I also volunteer at the Humane Society animal shelter, where I help feed cats, clean their cages, and walk dogs. At times, my responsible and gentle 14-year-old son assists me on walks, offering extra attention and care to the dogs. As a tutor and substitute teacher with a flexible schedule and summers off, I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My flexible schedule as a tutor and substitute teacher allows me free time to do pet sitting and dog walking. I tend to walk dogs between 8am to 11am and then do my substitute teaching job between 11:45 to 3:15pm and after that will walk a dog as needed. During the summer time Im free all day for walks and for house sitting. I will make sure to follow any instructions or recommendations from the client concerning the well being of their pet. I typically give the dog daily exercise 4 to 7 times per day. With the owner permission I will take dog to the dog park and keep a watchful eye on the dog at all times there. If I feel another dog is getting aggressive I will immediately remove the dog so nothing escalates.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life and I’ve been taking care of other people’s pets since I was in high school and have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m a stay at home mom with a husband who works remote so I’m very flexible! This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision and companionship while in my care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. I always keep pets supervised, ensure doors and gates are secure, and pay close attention during walks and outdoor time. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: Nice to meet you! I've personally had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I currently have 3 dogs who I love to the moon. I am my family and friends go to when/if they need someone to take care of their animals-whether it be dropping in for potty breaks and/or walks during busy days or dog sitting when on vacations, I know what it takes to love and care for my own animals and can provide the same care for your own pup. Let me help take the stress out of finding reliable care! I have experience with all ages and am comfortable with learning and catering to your cat's specific needs and routines.
About: Hello! I have had a love for pets my whole life! Starting when I was 12 I began to check in on my neighbor's and family member's animals. I would walk them, feed them, stay the night with them, and love on them! As a recent high school graduate, I am free both weekdays and weekends for the summer and can put my full attention and energy into watching your pet! I always make sure that my animal's needs are taken care of first! I take them on nice long walks and play with them and give them as much attention as possible! I make sure to take them out every few hours depending on how big or small!
“Melody was so amazing with my cat. She made me feel so comfortable being away from home. The pictures she sent while I was gone made me know that my cat and home were in good hands. She left me a wonderful note about her time at my house which was so comforting to come home to. And she left a little special toy for my cat. I will definitely have Melody stay again. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve had a variety of pets my whole life; dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, lizards, turtles, rats, ferrets, and fish! I’m very comfortable being around animals. I am currently a nurse but enjoy being around these furry creatures so much that I wanted to do this on the side! I promise you your pet is in good hands with me. This will be more a reward for me than a job!

“Marie took the time to meet with us the day before we dropped our poodle off. She was very polite and took the time to let us get acquainted with herself, her own dogs, and some of the other dogs in her care. She was very receptive to the tips we gave her regarding his normal routine, how our poodle normally behaves in certain novel situations and what actions bring about positive outcomes. Marie clearly has a good understanding of how to monitor a dog's behavior and how it is interacting with the environment and other dogs. We could see that she has established a good set up for pet sitting; and it incorporates safety and pleasure for the dogs. Marie was more than gracious with her time and we were thankful to have a trustworthy person to leave our poodle with while we attended a wedding.”
“Excellent service. Zach and his daughter were great with my dog Rex! Great setup with a tall fence and Rex loved playing with their dogs.This was a same day booking and they were able to accommodate us last minute and also the following day. I had only left my dog one day at a kennel his whole life so was nervous and within minutes knew I had made the correct choice with Zach and his home!”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for more than five years and understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I’m home most of the time, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. What sets me apart is the home environment I provide. I have a friendly, well-socialized host dog who loves meeting and playing with other dogs, helping visiting pups feel comfortable and included. I focus on creating a safe, fun, and low-stress experience where dogs can play, relax, and feel like part of the family. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they enjoy active play, social interaction, or a quieter environment. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Being a school teacher has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to create a safe, positive environment—qualities that I bring to caring for every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a virtual teacher, I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care enjoy regular outdoor time in my fenced yard, playtime with my friendly host dog, and plenty of opportunities to relax indoors. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to closely monitor each dog’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and included. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, my schedule is even more flexible, allowing for extra playtime, and one-on-one attention Your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a safe, welcoming home environment with a fenced yard and plenty of opportunities for play, rest, and companionship. Because I work from home, I am able to be present and attentive throughout the day. I take the time to understand each dog's personality and needs, helping them feel comfortable and cared for while away from home. My goal is to create a positive experience where dogs feel safe, happy, and part of the family.
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and now that I’m recently retired, I have the time to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I treat every dog like part of the family—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. With a calm, patient nature and a flexible schedule, I can focus fully on your pet’s needs and routines. You can rest easy knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I am recently retired and am available all of the time. I currently have two small dogs of my own and watching an additional dog would be no trouble at all. If you dog stays with me, they will be treated just like my own pet. I am able to walk them, feed them special diets, or administer oral medication. I am home almost all of the time and can give them the attention they need.
“Bean loved her time here and I loved getting pictures/videos/updates! We booked again immediately. ☺️ It was all good vibes from beginning to end and Bean slept sooooooo well when she got home. Thanks and see you again soon!”
“Thor had a great time with Swetha and her family. He must have played a lot with their dog Tucker, because he was wiped out once he got home. I was very happy Swetha sent me updates and pictures of Thor. Thor will definitely be going back!”
“Communicated very well with us, our dog has some special needs and requires medication and Susan was very accommodating with that. Our pup is a little timid and enjoys cuddling and she and her husband both made sure our pup was comfortable.”
“Alamelu and her family are absolutely wonderful! They took excellent care of my dog, Pepper, for the day. She sent me pictures and updates, took him for walks, and made sure that he was comfortable in their home. Pepper came home very happy and tired out :) This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. I truly cannot recommend Alamelu enough! When we are away, I will definitely have Alamelu take care of Pepper.”
About: I have always had pets of all kinds growing up along with much love for all wildlife. Currently I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 fish and many snails, and a lot of plants! My dog growing up became diabetic (also blind) and I provided him supportive care for the remaining 5 years he had (including special meals and insulin shots)! I have rescued several cats and found loving homes after getting them medical care (I always keep in touch). One of my cats was a bottle baby after finding her on the side of the road at only 3 weeks old, she is now almost 2. I also provided supportive care for my two eldest cats (11years) after their major surgeries (perineal urethrostomy and gallbladder removal). I am also in the process of obtaining my wildlife rehabilitation permit for I always seem to be brought animals to care for and I would like to do more for them than just transporting to a rehabilitator! I have a lot of room at my house which includes the finished basement area with separate rooms, a mudroom, a large fenced in backyard, and kennels if needed. I'm willing to travel to you, or care for your animals here! All my animals are friendly (successfully introduced and integrated) but if yours needs some privacy I can absolutely provide it. I'm here to help, I hope it's clear how important your fur babies would be to me! I would love to make whatever it is you need happen. I am currently a stay at home mom with my own fur babies. My day starts at 6AM when I wake up to feed and walk the dogs and check to see if the cats need anything. I would be more than happy to care for your animal(s) here or get out of the house and care for them in their home! I have a large fenced in yard, a finished basement with separate rooms, a separate mudroom, and kennels if needed! My 4 cats and 2 dogs roam the house and would love to make new friends, but if your animals are shy, we have plenty of space to accommodate. All I ask is for a clear set of instructions if caring for your pet in your home and you can expect those instructions to be carried out with love and respect for your animal(s) and property. I am also insured for pet care/housesitting through PCI.
“Very satisfied with the care Ramona gave to my pup. It was the first time so she was a little timid but the pictures Ramona sent me showed that she was just fine. I would not hesitate to contact Ramona again when I need care for my pup.”
“Brittany was great with Bruno and super communicative throughout the day. She was flexible for a last minute booking and kind and we felt totally comfortable leaving our dog there. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I offer a premium pet sitting/walking experience because of my hands on experience in many different dog environments. I have trained service dogs through 4 Paws for Ability, worked in a busy dog daycare, volunteered in shelters, and competed in agility. These experiences help me understand behavior, manage different energy levels, and support dogs with unique needs. I am dependable, organized, and attentive to every detail of your dog’s routine. I also make communication a priority and provide frequent updates, photos, and notes so you always feel connected to your dog while you are away. If you choose to trust me with your dog, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable and caring hands. I work remotely so I am able to offer drop in and dog walking services weekdays before 8:45 AM, during my lunch break most days, and after 4:30 PM. I also have availability most weekends. For select dogs, I may consider overnight or weekday daycare in my own home on a case-by-case basis, dependent on my own dogs getting along with yours and the behavior of your dog(s) - must be house trained and non-destructive. I would only take dog(s) from ONE client in home at a time (in addition to my own two dogs). Please reach out to discuss this further. The safety and health of your pets is my number one priority. From shifting to indoor activities on days when the temperature is dangerously hot to double checking that the harness/collar is fitted properly before going outside, I do everything in my power to keep your dogs happy and healthy. Additionally, positive reinforcement is the foundation of how I train and interact with animals. I use it with my own dogs and with the service dogs I’ve helped train, and I’m happy to continue that approach with your pets. This means no yelling, “punishing”, or other harsh corrective methods will be used.
“Regina sent me tons of photos of Bambi while he was in her care and I greatly enjoyed seeing how much fun he was having. I will definitely be working with her again in the future. Thank you so much Regina!!”
“Stephanie does amazing with my two dogs, including one being a young puppy! She is very kind and communicates often with many pictures. Definitely recommend Stephanie!”

About: I’ve had numerous gigs babysitting neighbors pets over the years; from dogs and cats to turtles and fish. I love spending time with all animals and I’m always looking out for the happiness and safety of your animals no matter the size :) Currently I’m a student at The University of Akron which gives me spare time in between classes. I’m usually free during the week and have no problem taking a break in my day to go check on your pets!

We routinely walk our dogs twice a day and make sure to feed morning and night. I love spending time outside with my dogs and getting all their energy out before bedtime.

I love to be outside, whether it be playing, walking, going on runs, etc. I hope you choose me the next time you are looking for someone to take extra good care of your animals!
“Halie is a great dog walker. Piper absolutely loves her and waits by the door when she knows it is time for Halie to come get her. Halie is very knowledgeable about animals so l don’t worry about Piper when she is with Halie. Halie is dependable and always on time. I highly recommend her. Jan Pontbriand”

“Katie was incredible, as always. Great communication, great with my dog… super reliable. I never have to worry about things when she is scheduled to come over. Highly recommend Katie!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I've cared for a variety of pets: seniors, puppies, cats, kittens, high energy, shy or anxious. I’m patient, gentle, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s needs and routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always keep their comfort, safety, and happiness as my top priorities. I currently am a pharmacy technician full time but I typically have 3 days off weekly and time before and after work available for your pets needs. I’m someone who believes pets deserve the same comfort, safety, and love they get at home. When your pet stays with me, they’re not just being “watched”—they’re being cared for thoughtfully and responsibly.
About: Retired RN with 40+ years of experience caring for my own, family and friends’ pets, from puppy/kitty stages to senior years. Offering care to any aged pet with fun playtime thrown in too! Enjoying a walk with your dog at the pace that best suits them will be a priority. I also have a small dog who can accompany us on walks if your dog needs/enjoys social interaction. My main goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, well cared for and loved, treating them with the same dependability, warmth & attention as I would my own. Another aim is to keep pet owners informed and follow any specific needs/directions requested, including any medication administration to ensure a great visit. I will also take care of your home with the same respect as your pets - cleaning up after your pets & wiping dogs’ paws after a rainy, snowy, muddy walk! You and your pet can count on me to be reliable, consistent, friendly and on time. Retired with availability on both weekdays and weekends for drop -in visits and dog walking for the furry members of your family. Drop-in visits and dog walks are usually 30 minutes, but I have flexibility to increase the length to 60 minutes (see extended care) Your trust and your pet’s safety are very important to me. While caring for your pets in your home I will respect your space, follow your instructions & always make sure that doors, crates and gates are closed. On walks I’ll make sure to keep an eye on your dog’s body language, needs and have water & treats available to ensure that it is fun, safe and filled with some good sniffing time too!
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover based in the Akron/Cuyahoga Falls area. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all personalities and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have pets of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, litter/cleanup, playtime, medication schedules, and giving animals patience and attention. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel at ease while you’re away from home. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for drop-ins, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 It fits in perfectly! I am currently doing mostly freelance work right now so this type of flexible schedule is just the right fit for me! I will provide extra toys, lots of love and snuggles, and I am open to discussing providing more if that is of interest to you!
About: I’ve had a variety of pets my whole life; dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, lizards, turtles, rats, ferrets, and fish! I’m very comfortable being around animals. I am currently a nurse but enjoy being around these furry creatures so much that I wanted to do this on the side! I promise you your pet is in good hands with me. This will be more a reward for me than a job ❤️ Weekdays after 3 I’m typically always available. Other times throughout the day and weekends will vary, so please just ask! I will do what I can :) I can work with you and your pets needs. Whether they use an automatic feeder or need manually fed, I can provide what is needed.
About: I am a caring and dependable dog walker with a genuine love and respect for animals. I currently walk two dogs Tuesday through Friday and have built a strong bond with them. One was shy and barked at me at first, but now happily runs up to greet me—an experience I truly value. I also volunteer at the Humane Society animal shelter, where I help feed cats, clean their cages, and walk dogs. At times, my responsible and gentle 14-year-old son assists me on walks, offering extra attention and care to the dogs. As a tutor and substitute teacher with a flexible schedule and summers off, I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My flexible schedule as a tutor and substitute teacher allows me free time to do pet sitting and dog walking. I tend to walk dogs between 8am to 11am and then do my substitute teaching job between 11:45 to 3:15pm and after that will walk a dog as needed. During the summer time Im free all day for walks and for house sitting. I will make sure to follow any instructions or recommendations from the client concerning the well being of their pet. I typically give the dog daily exercise 4 to 7 times per day. With the owner permission I will take dog to the dog park and keep a watchful eye on the dog at all times there. If I feel another dog is getting aggressive I will immediately remove the dog so nothing escalates.
About: I’ve taken care of friends pets and animals for around nine years! It truly brings so much joy to the season. Dogs are my favorite animal and I am passionate about all breeds. I can take care of your pet any time you need whether it’s daily or weekly! This includes overnight stays or daily walks any number of times. I can ensure your dog is fed and has water on top of exercise if needed! If your dog needs crated I am able to do so. I can take them out regardless if your yard is fenced.

“Jess took exceptional care of our older Bernese Mtn dog, Gracie. Just as her background on Rover indicates, Jess is well-versed in special care with administering meds and handling our dog who has some issues with weakness. Her care goes beyond those two qualities! Our dog loved her stay there as to how great she looked when we picked her up! Jess gave us a daily photo update and stayed connected with us about an issue Gracie had, which was quickly resolved. Wonderful peace of mind. We can't say enough great things about Jess. She is the best!”
“Jason was super helpful with our last minute request to have Blu stay with him. He was very understanding of our situation and we really appreciate him helping us out! Will definitely use Jason in the future!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“I was super nervous about leaving my puppy Simba for the first time. Zachary and his family took great care of him. I love that the backyard is fenced in and the dogs are able to run and play. When I picked my puppy up, he wasvery relaxed and calm and you can tell he had a good time I will definitely book with Zachary and his family for all of my future dog sitting needs.”
“We had a great experience with Karin! It was our first time boarding our dog, so we were nervous, but Karin sent lots of pictures and updates. Would very happily rebook!!”
“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
“Katlyn did a wonderful job watching my dog. She was quick to respond to messages, sent lots of picture updates and it was evident she truly cares about animals. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Athena is so kind and so compassionate, my dogs loved their time wither her & her family. They loved their new friend Rufus❤️ communication was outstanding, lots of pictures. It was such a comfort knowing how well cared for and loved my boys were while I was away. They were part of her family ❤️❤️❤️”

“Alayna was super kind and responsive. Sent lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone! My dog just ran right into her house when I dropped her off, so I knew it was going to go well. I plan to utilize her services in the future!”

Always has a great time and Swetha is constantly updating us and sending pictures, she’s amazing and I would definitely recommend booking with her!! We’ve been booking with her for 4 years now and he absolutely loves it and has so much fun!”

“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“Angela was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our dog! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely cares about animals. She was attentive, responsible, and kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy and well cared for when we returned. Angela followed all of our instructions perfectly, including feeding instructions and walks. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Takia was very responsive and kind! We received daily updates of our pups and we were able to see that they were being treated very well. We had a hiccup with their pills but it was handled professionally and quickly. We would definitely recommend her and book again with her 💗”
About: Hi, I’m Nicole — a lifelong animal lover and self‑proclaimed helicopter dog parent. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. My babies are in heaven now so I’ve joined rover as a pet sitter. **I kindly request if you’d like to book me, please have your rover profile filled out and photos uploaded.** I’ve spent the last decade-plus loving and supporting two very different pups with very different needs. My 16‑year‑old baby boy chihuahua Harley taught me everything about caring for a truly high‑maintenance senior dog. From medications and special feeding routines to extra snuggles, slow walks, and getting bossed around. ;) I also shared my life with my 11 year old Labrador-baby girl Lexi- who recently passed away from cancer on 5/19. Navigating that journey with her taught me deep compassion, vigilance, and emotional care. I became an expert in monitoring comfort levels, adjusting daily routines, and making every moment count. These experiences shaped the way I care for every dog who comes into my home: with attentiveness, understanding, and the same level of devotion I have given my own. • I treat your dog the way I treat mine — like family. • I am extremely attentive and present. If your pup needs something, I’m there. • Senior dogs and high‑maintenance fur babies are welcome. I get them. • Dogs are absolutely allowed on furniture — cuddles are encouraged here. • We don’t have a fence, but I’m a safety‑first sitter. I leash dogs for every potty break and stay right with them. • Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be left alone. • My home is calm, cozy, and dog friendly. I call myself a helicopter dog parent because I am very cautious- I am checking the pavement temp before walks, we aren’t walking on lawns that have chemical lawn treatment flags, I have a car hammock and dog seatbelt for rides, if I run an errand the dryer won’t be on, etc. Why I Do This I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. They’re your heart. Your family. Your little shadow. I’ve been in your shoes many times, I’ve used Rover in the past and my goal is to give you that same peace of mind I always looked for — knowing your pup is safe, loved, and truly understood. On weekdays I go to the gym early in the morning and telework daily in my private office with a comfy dog friendly couch. Sometimes I am home on the weekends and sometimes not so it depends on when you need care. If you’re unsure just message me and I can see if I am free. :) if your dog can join us on the boat or on camping trips I can be more flexible with you. Our non-smoking home is pet friendly and I have a 12 year old daughter who loves animals. I do not have any animals in my home. For potty breaks your pet would be leashed.
“I love my puppy like a kid and Freddy was happy to see me when we picked him up and cried when we left . I will be happy to have Isabel watch Freddy anytime she is open. She sent us pictures and updates I felt comfortable leaving Freddy with with her .. the down side ? I think Freddy wanted to stay there !!”
