About: I haven’t had cats of my own since I was a kid but have loved on them when given the chance. I’ve worked with cats in a clinic environment, when they aren’t so happy to be there! Ha ha! But I’ve also had the pleasure of hanging out with some sweet cats in their own environment.
About: I’ve had cats since i was 13 years old. I’ve dealt with different diets (wet,dry,mix,toppers, etc…) I currently have Joey my 1.5 year old shorthair. he’s is my pride and joy and the most lovely guy ever. I am versed well with kittens and bottle feeding. also with administering medications and scooping/cleaning litter boxes.
“Amy was an absolute lifesaver when she extended for a week when I was delayed coming home due to a family illness - thanks so much, Amy!! She was so patient with our skittish kitty, finally winning her over, ending with pets and lap naps! I highly recommend this wonderful lady!”
“Victoria and her family did a great job with our cats while we were away. She was quick to respond and patient when learning the different needs of our cats ! She communicated about times and showed up exactly as she stated she would. Our minds were at ease with her watching the cats and we will rebook when traveling again :)”
“My boys had so much fun with Alexis. I loved seeing their photos! This was the first time leaving my pups with anyone besides family and Alexis made me feel so at ease the whole time! ?”
“Mary did an amazing job! While we were on our trip, several states away, our AC broke and Mary went above and beyond to look after our pets while we tried to coordinate a repair. With all that stress, knowing someone was doing such a good job looking after our pets was so appreciated.”

I can help with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddles, and making sure your cat feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I understand that every cat is different, and I’ll treat yours with love and care like they’re my own.
About: I have always had pets in my life since I was at a very young age. I recently moved to Princeton with my family and we are animal lovers all the way! I currently work from home, I and my wife also have a dog Luka who is 3 y/o and would love some company to play and exercise. We live on a nice apartment property, located super close to Carrollton Blue and Orange trails and outdoor. We always clean up and respect our four-legged friends. I have a very flexible job, that allows me to take many breaks during the day, allowing me to look after the doggies. I usually have smooth music for Luka while I'm on a call, but 80% of the time we just hang out until the next break to go out and walk around. On weekends we like going to the outdoors to get that extra excersice when needed. I take care with the basics needs first, always filtered water and safe to use toys, I like keeping them entertained with toys or a comfy sofa to lay down. I like taking them on walks nearby, as our apartment isn't fenced I like to keep him on a leash until we go to a park where they can run a little and stretch those legs.
About: Dear Pet Owner, I am a dedicated animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals of all shapes, sizes, and needs. Having grown up on a farm, I developed a deep passion and expertise in animal care from an early age, working with horses, dogs, and many other animals. My experience includes everything from daily feeding, walking, and training to professional pet sitting. I offer flexible scheduling and am committed to providing your pets with the highest level of care, attention, and affection. I would be honored to have the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you're away. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Deana Nelson I have a flexible part-time schedule that allows me to be available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give your pet the dedicated attention and care they deserve. I always follow your specific instructions and your pet’s established routine to minimize stress and maintain consistency. This includes feeding according to your schedule and dietary requirements, administering medications or supplements (I’m experienced with oral meds, injections, and special-needs care), daily walks, playtime, and exercise suited to your pet’s energy level and abilities, and litter box or potty break management. I will take care of your fur baby with the same care and attention that I do with my own.

About: I've worked with all kinds of cats at the veterinary clinic i used to work for. Mean, nice, aggressive, scared, etc. I've cut their toenails and given vaccines.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Merit
“Simba had a wonderful day with Mary! He came home relaxed, happy, and without any anxiety. From the updates we received, it looked like he had plenty of playtime and fun throughout the day. He clearly enjoyed his time and came back tired in the best way. We’re very thankful for the great care he received. Highly recommend Mary as a sitter!”
“She is absolutely amazing and she takes such good care of my animals and she communicates and keeps me updated so well I really think my animal is progressing and being so wonderfully handled”
“Damon and Danyale were amazing when I needed a last minute day sitter when our original sitter was not available. I’ve been needed to find a back up one close to home and definitely will be using again when needed. Damon sent many photos throughout the 2 days he was there. Highly recommend.”
“They take such good care of my dogs. My girl is very sensitive so I can always tell if someone scares her. Both my dogs are always bouncing off the walls when I come to pick them up. 🥰”
About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.
“Yesterday’s visit went smoothly! The dogs were well cared for and came home happy. I loved receiving photo updates throughout the day—it gave me peace of mind. We’ll definitely use Deepa again! Highly recommend! ❤️”
About: I have been a professional full time dog trainer for over 20 years. I opened my home to in-home boarding and day care a few years ago and absolutely love it. We treat all the animals that stay with us like they are part of our family until their loved ones come back! I send multiple updates a day, pictures and videos as well. I have many references I can offer you as well! It’s very rare that someone is not home with the animals. We spend our days going outside to play (weather permitting), and playing inside as well. The dogs are allowed to veg on the couch (if that’s allowed at their home!), and enjoy spending time with us! We have a 3 acre fenced yard. The dogs love it very much for running and playing. They are never outside unsupervised for any amount of time! Our property is perfect for endless dog fun. 🐾
“As someone new in town, trusting someone with my furbabies wasn’t easy. I found Brenda on this app and our first meet and greet went wonderfully. She was amazing with my furbabies, and I loved receiving updates on how they were doing. You can truly feel the care and warmth she provides. Brenda gets a 5-star rating and my full recommendation!”
“I highly recommend Michael for pet sitting/daycare! He did a tremendous job taking care of our dog and showing him the best time! He got along great with his dog and I received regular video and photo updates. Thank you so much Michael!”

Friends and family trust me wholeheartedly to love and nurture their furry loved ones when they’re away, and I pour my heart into every moment.

I’ve got a fenced-in yard and three super friendly dogs who just love meeting other pups! We enjoy taking neighborhood walks, playing fetch, and having fun tug-of-war matches right in the backyard.

About: My experience comes from caring for the sweetest Pekingese for 15 years. I had her since she was 9 weeks old. She unfortunately has recently passed but it was my greatest honor to care for her. As of March 2026, I currently have a new puppy that I have opened my heart to. I have also had the privilege to help watch several family member and friend's dogs over the years. My fiancé and I both work from home so we will be in the house all day during the work week to have a good eye on your pet.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Merit
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My pets are my children so I love them fiercely. I have worked with and volunteered with animals for the last 15 years. I’ve spent time with pets in a clinic environment as a vet tech, a shelter environment as a kennel tech and dog walker, and a rescue environment as a volunteer. My volunteer time has included transporting pets, walking dogs, helping mamas who just had puppies, and loving on new puppies too! I have flexibility and freedom with my schedule. I can do drop ins, stay and visit with your pet for a bit, and do feedings or give meds if need be. Because my own dogs can be knuckleheads, I can take care of your pets in your home. It might help make their time away from you easier for them anyhow. I can take them for walks, play with them in your yard, take them for car rides, and just hang out with them. My goal would be to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. When they’re happy, you’re happy…and then you can enjoy your time away.
About: I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets for over seven years, including Jonah (Golden Retriever), Jessie (Golden Pyrenees), and Mittens (tuxedo cat). My background includes hands-on experience caring for family animals and taking in rescues reflecting a lifelong dedication to animal care. My current schedule allows for consistent availability throughout the entire week, with mornings/afternoons before 4pm preferred. My availability after 4pm varies daily, so feel free to message to prior to booking! My home is a pet-friendly (and pet filled) environment with a large fenced yard for outdoor play, though most of our time with Mittens is spent indoors surrounded by toys and cozy spots to relax. I have three resident pets — Jonah, a Golden Retriever, Jessie, a Golden Pyrenees, and Mittens, a tuxedo cat — all of whom love playtime and are great company.
About: We enjoy being the first choice for most all of our family and friends when it comes to their pets needs! We like to spend extra time with the animals while their pawrents are away and even enjoy bringing some special homemade treats if allowed! We are a firefighter and homeschool family, so our schedule is extremely flexible. We enjoy spending time with any and all animals. I also have a passion for baking, so bringing an extra homemade treat is allowed is something special too! We have one lab girl who is our four legged princess. As the only other girl in a house of boys, she is 100% spoiled rotten and we wouldn't have it any other way.
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Pumpkin! She walked Pumpkin and made sure he was fed while I was away, giving me total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about pets, and I appreciated her reliability and communication. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“This was my first time using Rover so I didn't know what to expect. Booking was simple with Mary. She is very responsive and flexible. She came by before my travel for a meet and greet with my dog. He liked her and seemed very comfortable. During my trip there was great communication and pictures which showed my dog being very happy to spend time with her. She's a great choice if you're looking for reliability!”

My dogs are very friendly but also have areas for quiet time if that is needed. If you prefer to stay at your house that is fine too. Retired teacher so my days are pretty open.
About: Hi! 🥰 My name is Rachael! I am a very energetic, patient, and creative person who lives to love and be around animals. Dogs are my favorite animal! I have cared for animals for 13 years. I’ve grown up around many other animals as well and cared for them. Such as cats, fish, and some reptiles. I do offer to bathe your babies if needed. With me, your children will receive appropriate care. Personally, I'm an organizer, planner, and multitasker, and always just a phone call away, face time is also available so minimum supervision is required. With all my skills and experience, I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, fun, and stable environment for your sweet babies!! I look forward to hearing from your families soon! 🐶🥰 I’m currently enrolled at James Madison High School. I do have a lot of free time right now until I reach my money savings goal to continue school. I’m not providing care for animals in my home right away but will provide care in my home as soon as possible for both cats & dogs.
About: What sets me apart is the deep, genuine love I have for every animal in my care. I treat each pet like family, offering personalized attention, patience, and understanding. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, including administering medication and managing mobility issues. Whether it’s training basics, cuddle time, or special needs care, I go the extra mile to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and truly at home. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the pets I care for making sure they get the attention, walks, meals, playtime, and snuggles they need to feel happy and secure. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or cozy evening routines, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with animals. Their wellbeing is a priority, and I make sure my schedule allows for dependable, unrushed, and loving care every time. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a loving, safe space with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. At your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly, ensuring they feel secure and relaxed while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy.
About: I've owned dogs growing up, as well as watched pets(mainly dogs, cats, and snakes) for family and neighbors for about 10 years now! I have walked, fed, bathed, as well as given different medications to pets, and am comfortable with any breed. I am a fresh college graduate, looking for a good summer time gig! Aside from pet sitting, I also do uber eats/doordash. While pet sitting, I do not have to do deliveries if you would prefer! If needed, I can crate your pets. I am able to walk, pick up, and transport pets as needed. I personally have a lot of energy, so I will happily run around with your pets to get the energy out!
About: I have worked at Petsmart before. At Petsmart we are required to know what makes a dog comfortable while at a public place or somewhere other than home. I have watched over puppies 2 and 3 months old for my in laws a couple times now. My parents got a kitten that I helped take care of till I moved out about 10 months later. I own a chinchilla which is an exotic small animal. I’ve had her for a year. I’ve been fascinated by pets since I was a child and always do my research before taking care of an animal. I look forward to being of assistance. I fluctuate between part time and full time. I’m usually free tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays. I can schedule the time off if it’s 3 or 4 weeks in advance. I usually work mornings except for mondays, when I work evenings. I can always visit the pup or kitty during break and then spend the rest of the day with them after work. This will most likely be temporary until I can get a solid schedule here or at Home Depot. My apartment complex is very pet friendly. My building is only a few steps away from a dog park inside of the complex. The clubhouse has dog treats and I can provide as well based on age and diet. I will always ask any questions about what you would prefer for your fur baby. I have a chinchilla that stays in a cage as long as your pet is around. She is curious and will not hurt your pet even if they stick a paw in between the bars, which is hard to do anyways. My living room is a large space for any pet. I’m currently working part time, but I’m willing to do weekly stays with 2-3 weeks in advance notice. I also will require meet ups before every service in a public place. This is not going to be required for existing clients. I live in an apartment so I don’t currently own any pets, but everyone in my direct and extended family either has, or has had one that I’ve grown up with. I’m very familiar with animal routines and attributes. If something is bothering your pet, I will notice. I always keep in constant contact with whoever I petsit or help take care of for anything I may notice. Most of the time it’s things owners are already aware of, but I’ve always found it never hurts to ask and inform.
About: I’ve cared for animals all my life especially dogs,I’m very good with them and can definitely keep up with them and their energy! ,whether it’s just a drop in or watching them for the day they’ll be in great hands!, I’ve also noticed over all my years of anima experience I have a unique way of bonding with them therefore making training even easier,I love building trust and hoping to build some with your four legged babies! I can adjust my schedule to fit your pets needs! They will be exercised as needed/wanted and have lots of fun I’ll even take them on fun rides! I take care of my animals as needed of course with their normal feeding, water, and bathroom routine as well as play with them whether it is fetch, tug of war with their rope, racing, etc!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I currently have my own almost 2-year-old Lab, who is playful, friendly, and used to having other animals around. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to relaxed seniors. My home has a fenced backyard, a doggy door, plenty of space to play and relax, and lots of toys! I’m happy to provide treats when approved by the owner and will always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and care instructions. I’m also soon welcoming a newborn, so creating a calm, loving, and safe environment for every pet in my home is especially important to me. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re staying with family—not just being boarded. ❤️🐾 I currently have a completely open schedule and am not working outside of pet care, so I’m available throughout the day and can work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to accommodate different routines, drop-in times, walks, and boarding stays whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a friendly dog of my own, Maggie, so I’ll always make sure any pets staying in my home are a safe and comfortable match. I’m also expecting a newborn soon, so it’s especially important that all pets in my home are comfortable around babies and that everyone has a safe environment.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for years and years. I’ve been pet sitting for about four years now on and off and would love to take care of yours! I am an insurance agent so I do remote work! I’m available almost 24/7 due to me working from home! I can adjust to whatever schedule is needed so just let me know whatever works for you. I have two cats and one dog in my home currently who are the most loving. They get along with all animals but if you want separation, I have plenty of room to do so!
About: I've had dogs in my life since my infancy and love dogs. I don't have a favorite breed since I think all dogs are special in their own right but I'm a big fan of chihuahuas and bulldogs. I am a freelance artist so I have plenty of time to devote to animal care. I am able to bring my setup for overnight stays so my schedule won't be impacted during pet care. I have a shared two bedroom apartment that is surrounded by plenty of grassy walking areas and a fenced in dog park, so if your pets stay with me, we'll have lots to do. I also don't mind traveling to or staying overnight at a client's house as I have my own vehicle and no other outside obligations.
About: I am 19 years old. I have two dogs of my own, a pit bull and a Chihuahua. I know how to handle dogs very well big and small. Walking dogs is just a hobby I like to do since I already have to. i have a cat as well, I take cats as well if that’s something you are interested in. If your dog does not like other dogs, please be sure to let me know before I walk your dog. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you. During the week I do have college, i go to San Jac which is T/Th at 8:35-10:35am. Other than that I’m free to watch your pets ;) I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets at client’s home. I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed, free of hazards, and suited to their specific needs. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions to maintain consistency. Building trust is key, so I use positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and patience to help pets feel secure. At a client’s, I create an stress-free, loving atmosphere where pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Sara was absolutely wonderful! She took care of my dogs for 10 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly kind and sweet, and her home is warm and welcoming.

Knowing my dogs were in such great hands made all the difference. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

It’s refreshing to be able to be away and know they’re being treated as if they were her own. Maple, her dog, is so sweet too!

“Nikki has been a fantastic sitter for our German Shepherd. He is very reserved and has some medical issues. She has no problem giving him medications.

This was my first time using Rover, and I was hesitant given Mae is 10 years old and is usually watched by family or a family friend when we are out of town. Mae took to them immediately, and Nicole and John provided lots of love and care, checked in, and sent pictures. I had such a peace of mind while I was away. I’m grateful to have found sitters I can rely on for future trips!”
