About: Your dog’s adventure buddy while you’re away. Long walks, playtime, cuddles, and dependable care tailored to your pup’s unique personality. I’m here to make your puppers feel safe and be a home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a pet owner myself. I plan my schedule around providing consistent care, exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or check-ins throughout the day, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away.

I follow each baby boy or girl’s routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep owners updated with photos throughout their stay.

“Crystal was amazing! So great at keeping us updated. She had an unforeseeable personal event while we were gone, but was so wonderful at communicating with us about it and ensuring she had a back plan if she could not continue care. Our cat has separation anxiety and typically doesn’t do well when we are away, but seemed very unfazed when we got back this time (and maybe a bit disappointed that it wasn’t Crystal).”
“Elizabeth took excellent care of my cat Beau while I was away for the weekend. Great communication and updates, and I could tell my cat was happy and comfortable from her photos. Highly recommend!”

“Cameron was so great! Mabel was a bit shy with him for the first few days but he did a great job of giving her treats and luring her out with toys! He is super responsive and kept us super updated with Mabel’s care. Highly recommend him and we will be using him again!”
“Sidney is always great! She is very kind and communicative and always sends the cutest pictures of our pets! They love seeing her and we are grateful to have a sitter that we can trust.❤️”
“Callie is wonderful at looking after my cat while I’m out on vacation. Great communications with her, and I really appreciate her daily photos and updates! Knowing that my cat is taken care of by someone trustworthy. Recommend!”
“Ayisha was amazing with all of my fur babies! She is very experienced with caring for kitties who need extra love and attention with medication and those who are shy. She sent lots of pictures which is always a plus when traveling away and missing your babies. She went above and beyond to cater to the fur babies’ needs and to reassure me as well. Will DEFINITELY book with her again as I know my babies are/were in GREAT hands!”
“Ninabelle eases my mind leaving my cat alone for the first time! I loved getting multiple pictures, and how responsive she was about questions, but also with arranging a meetup/key drop off. I hope whenever I leave she’ll be available!”
About: I’ve lived in households with cats through my roommates, so I’m very comfortable caring for and being around them on a daily basis. I know that every cat has its own personality, from independent to very social, and I adjust my approach accordingly. I’m responsible with feeding schedules, litter box care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment
“Della did a great job staying in our apartment and watching our two kitties for 4 days. She came over prior to our departure and met our cats and learned the rules. While we were gone she sent us pictures of the cats daily and checked in with us, and when we came back the cats were happy and healthy and the apartment was in good condition. We are very happy with Della's house and cat-sitting. We would definitely use her again and we recommend her.”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them and understanding their unique personalities. I’ve even trained my own cat to sit before she eats! 🐱💕 I’m also passionate about helping local nonprofits care for stray cats by feeding them and supporting spay and neuter efforts. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Amber was seriously the best sitter. This is the first time I have left my cat with someone other then friends and family, but she went above and beyond in every aspect. She sent lots of pics and even a video of Penelope and which made my anxiety calm down because I knew she was being treated so well. We will definitely be using her again and I can absolutely tell you for a fact Penelope is already missing Amber!”
“Awesome!!! My cats really felt at ease with Lyndsey because I did not get meow yelled at when I returned, just got the “oh you are back look”. Thank you for doing such a great job.”

“Everything went great! Delair was able to day care my dog on the fly for a half day and was even able to feed him. The pictures were greatly appreciated and my dog was happy enough to not want to leave. Definitely recommend”
About: I have taken care of family pets since a very young age. I have three- Effie, 7 (street rescue), Jelly 9, (relinquished) and Herbert, 2(catch and release program). Growing up I've cared for cats, dogs, mice, rats, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, turtles, and birds. I have plenty of experience feeding, watering, and playing with them, but also with administering medications and giving plenty of exercise and learning. I love all critters :) My availability is soon to change, but, I am highly reliable. Prior to Rover I worked as a restaurant manager and worked 50 hours a week. Now I'm open! I will come to you, and will take your fur baby on walks and play. Anything you need! I am changing jobs so my schedule is TBD.
“Sarah was kind, responsive, and took well care of Oreo. Pickup was carried out within the booked booking window, and communication was smooth overall. I appreciate her taking care of my dog :)”
About: First time booking on Rover? Get $20 off! Hi! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three Golden Retrievers, and they truly felt like part of the family. My most recent one recently passed after an illness, so opening my home to care for other dogs feels really special to me. I have experience caring for pets of friends and family, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, comfort, and a safe place to stay. My children also love having dogs around and are gentle and respectful, which helps create a warm, welcoming environment. We do have a Burmese cat in the home, but she has her own space and knows where to go if she prefers not to interact with dogs. Our home includes a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, plus a kiddie pool for those hot days. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog will be treated like family here—with love, patience, and attention. I work part-time from home, so I’m able to give plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My children are homeschooled and home most of the time, creating a calm, family-centered environment. We do leave occasionally for errands, church, or family events, but your dog will still have a consistent, loving, and supervised home most of the day. I also provide overnight boarding, so your dog will be safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, and a calm, family environment with my two children who enjoy giving gentle attention and companionship. If a dog needs a little quiet time or separation, I do have an office space available. For dogs that require crating, I ask that you please provide your own crate so they can feel familiar and secure.
“Jonathan was great with our little guy! He sent lots of pictures and kept us updated throughout his daycare stay. He got lots of play time and a walk! Would book again if we’re ever in the area again!”
“Monica made me feel as though Rosie was in competent hands from the moment I dropped her off. Rosie is very shy and nervous, but Monica was not phased at all. She seemed very comfortable taking charge of Rosie so I could enjoy my day at the ballgame. I got numerous updates throughout the day of Rosie playing in the yard. We will definitely use Monica again when we need a sitter in the future. Thank you, Monica!”
“Phoebe never fails to have the best time playing with all her buddies at Ms. Brenda’s. Perfect day sitting to get that crazy puppy energy out!!♥️”
About: I have been around pets all my life, but only these past couple of years have I started taking care of other’s pets as well! I do have a doggo of my own, so overall I am experienced.

I have a house with a big .25 acre fenced in backyard with plenty of shade and a dog door which can be closed. I have several tennis balls and other toys, and I love to go for dog walks around the neighborhood & to the dog park. Your fur babies will get plenty of love, attention and cuddles with me! I work from home, so I’m fully dedicated to taking care of your pups! I will make sure they are treated just like my own, and get plenty of walks and playtime. I offer free pickup & drop off as well!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with multiple dogs, one of which I took care of myself once I was older. I had dog sat for friends and even teachers before. I have volunteered at dog shelters to walk and take care of dogs. I love all dogs and dogs love me. I am currently unemployed, searching for a job. I live in an apartment and am able to board a dog at any time of the week. I have room to play with them and for them to rest. My building has dog-walking areas and, in general, is located in a walkable area for dogs.

About: I’ve cared for animals for more than 25 years and have had dogs for most of my life. I currently share my home with Sylvia, my rescue Australian Cattle Dog (Red Heeler). My experience includes dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from playful puppies to senior dogs and from laid-back companions to high-energy working breeds. I grew up on a farm and am comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I enjoy building trust with each pet and providing the attention, structure, and companionship they need to feel safe and comfortable. Special Skills * Positive reinforcement/basic training * Oral medication administration * Experience caring for a certified therapy dog (child-focused) * Puppy care * Senior dog care * High-energy breeds * Shy/anxious dogs * Multiple-dog households * Following detailed feeding and care instructions * Regular updates and communication with owners Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am a teacher, so during the summer I am home full-time and fully available for boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and walks throughout the day. I am able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy having dogs as part of my daily routine, and they are never just “checked on” briefly—they are included in a structured, attentive, and calm home environment. During the school year, I maintain a predictable schedule and can accommodate early morning, evening, and weekend care. In my home, I provide a calm, structured, and dog-friendly environment where safety and comfort are the top priorities. Dogs are supervised throughout the day, and during the summer I am home full-time to provide consistent care, attention, and routine. My home is a one-story space with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor breaks and play. Dogs are welcome on furniture and are treated like part of the family, while also having access to quiet areas for rest or separation if needed. I follow each pet’s specific routine closely, including feeding instructions, medications, exercise needs, and behavioral preferences. I take a careful, respectful approach to introductions between dogs and ensure everyone is comfortable and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the home, follow all instructions closely, and prioritize the pet’s routine and comfort. I also provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

“Crystal and her son are absolute gems (pun intended)! I booked with Crystal very last minute and she accepted with open arms! She is very communicative and a positive person.

I have volunteered at dog shelters to walk and take care of dogs. I love all dogs and dogs love me. I am currently unemployed, searching for a job. I live in an apartment and am able to board a dog at any time of the week. I have room to play with them and for them to rest. My building has dog-walking areas and, in general, is located in a walkable area for dogs.
About: I have one year of hands-on pet care experience assisting with my cousin's pet care business, where I helped care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and providing plenty of attention and affection. In addition to my professional experience, friends and family have regularly trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel right at home. I am flexible with my schedule and can do short notice ! I’m available all day during weekends and early morning or anytime afternoon due to work, my job is close enough to work to drop in and tend to pets during lunch as well I currently do not have any pets living in my home and Pets are free to be on furniture can easily crate pets if needed
“I had to watch my mother in laws pup and needed to head out of town for a night due to an emergency— Ernest was SOOO helpful and awesome with her dog, who has Crohn’s disease and has to take pills, eat special food, and pretty much be watched 24/7 while not in his kennel. We will ABSOLUTELY be back.”
