“Heather was awesome. We have a leash reactive dog that we told her about and when we went to pick him up she gave us some tips on how to train him. I wish I lived in the area so I could use her all the time!”
“Bella had a great time with Belinda. I usually do not board Bella because she is so tiny and very spoiled. She was given a lot of love and attention…I highly recommend Belinda to are for your fur babies. Bella is a little Princess and when I saw how much (in just a few days stay) that she had bonded with Belinda I knew that I will board my baby with her anytime I need to be away from home. Thank Belinda and Brian”

“David and his S/O are amazing. Very welcoming and showed us around the house and the environment so we’d be more comfortable. Pups loved them right away. They treat your babies like their own. They came back happy, well fed, and clean! Will definitely use them for pup-sitting again.”
“We needed pet boarding last minute for a Christmas trip and Danielle helped us out and did an amazing job taking care of our fur baby! Our pup had never been away from us for more than a few hours and Danielle handled her separation anxiety like a pro! She was so sweet to our pup and kept us updated the entire time. She is the best and we will use her again next time we need someone to care for our doggie.”

She also kept me well informed with his stay and that kept my mind at ease .look forward to using her services again”
“She was amazing! Accommodating and loving towards our Suzie. Mrs. Bobbye treated our puppy like her own. Her home is very pet friendly. Our Suzie was able to lounge on furniture and run her little heart out in a large fenced back yard. She had lots of love and companionship with Mrs. Bobbye and her family (her own fur babies included). I received many updates and photos which gave me peace of mind over night. Definitely will use her services again. Highly recommend.”

Thank you so much, Brittany. I really really appreciate you. We will be back!❤️”

They are so loving, trustworthy, organize, and on time! They are everything you are looking for!”

“Karen was awesome. Gave us wonderful feedback and was so kind. She catered to my 3 cats with very distinctively different personalities. Fearful, playful and aloof. She always sent pictures. I was so happy to know that someone was checking in on them and making sure they were alright. The kitty cats were so calm when I returned. Thank you so much Karen!”

About: Hello! I’m Desiree. I'm 21 years old. I have one dog named Athena. I love animals, and I am a certified vet assistant. I would love to keep your animals company and take them on walks or to the park! I’m currently enrolled in online college, so I have plenty of time in the morning and evening to take care of your babies. I can work with you to find the best possible schedule for you and your animals I have a puppy who is highly anxious and can be slightly reactive. I have learned about pets' behavior and how to ensure an animal is relaxed and happy. I will ensure your animal is well cared for to your standards and routine.
“This has been my 2nd time using Jackie and she's by far the absolute BEST and I absolutely ADORE her! I have 3 dogs. A senior, a 9 yr old and 1 yr old who is rambunctious as all get out and she is so gracious with them all. Definitely plan on using her again and again.... AND AGAIN 🤣”
About: I've been around cats everyday for about 1 decade. I enjoy their versatile personalities and especially enjoy caring for young kittens. I have experience bottlefeeding kittens and have had 8 in my care. I currently have 1 cat, Artemis, who is very affectionate. She gets along well with my dog and new cats/dogs.
About: Over the years, I've cared for dogs/cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities-from playful puppies to seniors needing a gentler touch. I'm patient, adaptable, and always take the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have plenty of experience administering medication, whether it's pills, drops, or special routines. I make sure it's done safely, calmly, and without stress for your fur baby. When your pet is with me, they'll get love, attention, and care as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. Dogs especially make my world brighter, and I love being the person they can count on for walks, cuddles, and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, love, or just company while you're away, I'm here to make them feel at home. I absolutely cannot wait to meet your fur baby💚🐾 I'm currently working full-time from 7:30- 4:30, but I am a morning person, and I don't mind using my lunch break to take them out to potty in case you're not able to. After work and weekends are mainly where my free time is. Unfortunately, I'm unable to offer these boarding services. My significant other is highly allergic to dander. I'm so glad Rover also has the option to walk or drop in visits. if they were to make a mess while your were gone i will always pick up or clean as if the mess was never there.
About: I’ve cared for cats both at home and in a clinical setting, gaining hands-on experience with feeding, grooming, and maintaining clean, safe environments. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and monitoring health indicators like temperature or behavior changes. I have a genuine love for cats and take extra care with things like deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping their spaces comfortable and stress-free. What sets me apart is my combination of personal experience, veterinary practicum training, and passion for providing individualized care—making sure each cat feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away.
“Penelope was absolutely incredible! Our situation is a bit unique since we have donkeys, goats, and horses in addition to our cats, but she handled everything with so much care and attention. I can be very particular about how my animals are cared for, and Penelope followed every detail perfectly. While we were gone for two weeks, she kept me at ease with frequent updates and photos, which I truly appreciated. On top of taking such great care of the animals, she was respectful of our home, kept everything clean, and even did her own laundry before leaving. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in her hands. I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person for the job, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Penelope, for everything—you’re a gem!”
About: As a child, my step mom rescued cats from the shelter. I had many years of experience caring and playing with cats. We now have a sweet mama cat with kittens that we are loving. Our mama cat has adopted two kittens that another mom couldn't care for. It has honestly been a magical experience! My daughter, 17, and I can bring this level of care and affection to your sweet kitty cats!
“Autumn is amazing. She was diligent, thoughtful, informative, and we had complete trust that our pets were well cared for. I would highly recommend her to anybody! She would be the first person I check with next time we need someone.”
About: I have had cats in my home my entire life. I think they are the most fun, so full of personality, and ridiculously cute. I have dealt with diabetic cats, spiteful cats (pooping outside the litter box if it isn’t cleaned multiple times a day), and everything in between. bring me your little kitty-babies and I will relish every second to be sure.
About: I've been around dogs since I was a child, and I see them as part of the family. I got my first dog when I was eleven, but our house grew and grew with multiple dogs, and I currently help care for my family's six dogs. In addition, my parents and I have fostered dogs together, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds, including those who needed extra patience, structure, and reassurance while adjusting to new environments. I have years of experience dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, including overnight stays, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving my full affection and attention. Through fostering, I learned how to read dog behavior, help dogs feel safe in unfamiliar situations, and learned to support basic routines and transitions. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to learning each pet's individual needs. I will always take the time to learn their routines, levels of energy, and their own personalities so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved by me while their owners are away. I'm currently a part-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be very present and attentive to the pets I'm caring for. I'm able to plan my days around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your pets will receive consistent care throughout the day. My top priorities are always to create a safe, trusting environment and to ensure a comfortable atmosphere. I make sure all pets feel secure, calm, and loved. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to maintain consistency as needed and possible. In a client's home, I treat the space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I'm very mindful of my surroundings during walks. I also take the time to get to know each pet's personality so I know how to respond appropriately to their needs and comfort levels. Communication is key, so I always provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where all pets feel comfortable and cared for, and each owner feels confident they've left their pets in good hands.
About: I have two dogs of my own and I dog sit for friends and family. We have a small home but give plenty of out door fun all day long for those energetic puppies Weekends are mainly open for us. We would rather stay home with our pups then going out. If we do go anywhere our dogs are kennel trained. We will soon have a fenced yard but for now we use leashes for outdoor walks, runs and lots of play time to get that energy out of the puppies. Our dogs have their own futon and lots of toys to keep them busy indoors as well.
About: I am currently employed as a dog groomer and I have experience as a vet tech! I have had my two dogs for 8 years and I also have pet cats. I have been involved in the rescue community for years, saving dogs and cats and having them sent up north for adoptions. I have the patience required to care for all kinds of animals! I work as a dog groomer during the day, and I can bring my dogs to work with me because we have kennels separating each dog. I am off all day on Sundays. I am extremely patient when it comes to caring for my pets and others’ pets. I am extremely skilled caring for aggressive and timid dogs. One of my dogs has arthritis and hip dysplasia, so he is on constant medication and steroid injections. My other Pomeranian has urinary problems and anxiety, especially around any loud noises, so I have to be extremely patient when she wakes up at all hours of the morning when she is having an anxiety attack. One of my cats also has an enlarged heart, so he is on medication everyday for the rest of his life. But, I wouldn’t change them for anything in the world. Their traits and quirkiness makes them each special in their own way and I look forward to taking care of your pets and learning their different personalities! I work as a dog groomer during the day, so I am allowed to take my pets or my boarding dogs with me to work. We do not allow the dogs to interact for safety reasons, so each dog has their own large kennel. This way your fur babies are not left home alone all day, everyday. I have a fenced yard and friendly pets. I have a two bedroom home with a large living room area. If your dogs are not good with other dogs or cats, I can keep my pets in a separate room while giving your pups the space that they require to feel comfortable and safe. We allow our pets on the bed, so if your pup likes cuddles- there’s plenty to go around! I keep my pets as well as my boarding dogs on a strict schedule when it comes to eating and meds because consistency is key! I try to send pictures and videos every few days so that my clients can have peace of mind while their pups are being boarded and enjoy their trip! I also have cameras all over the inside and outside of my home so that if I am away I can constantly check on my pets and yours.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently own a miniature schnauzer, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love they need. I also have experience pet sitting for others, caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently attending school online, which allows me to be home full-time and provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Because of this, I have very open and flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Your pet will never be left alone and will receive complete supervision, playtime, and care during their stay. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get exercise, as well as a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys having company. I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and happy. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated at certain times, I’m more than happy to accommodate that. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc! I’m a huge believer that they’re like family! I had a dog of my own for most of my life that was blind and diabetic, so I’m familiar with taking care of dogs of old age and medical care. I currently work as a flight attendant as well so my schedule varies week to week! I typically have spans on days on/off that make it easy for me to take care of your pets for several days! I live in an apartment that has sidewalks and grass all around, it’s a pet friendly complex:) I have no other pets or children that affect the environment. I’m also nearby a jogging trail that I love to take pets on for walks!

About: i’ve taken care of family/ friends pups and helped trained my own dog. also bathed them and walked them.I also potty trained my own pup. Im currently available before 2pm and after 10pm. i have open availability all day/night on wensdays and thursdays to take care of your pups! ❤️ I have a fenced backyard. I provide treats, dog food. and water. with a clean environment! i am also willing to travel and pet sit.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.
About: I treat each pet with care and support and am great at sticking to schedules and keeping pups and cats and even more busy! I am a hard worker and I keep my word. I work part time but always off. During the school year I’m in and out of the house but love to spend time with my pets! I live in an apartment and it’s always locked and safe! I feed my dog 3 times a day and play with him all the time!
About: I always volunteer at local rescues and since I was a little girl I have always wanted a dog but have never been able to get one due to my mom being allergic so any chance I get I’m always pet sitting for family friends and coworkers and neighbors and I volunteer because taking care of them makes me feel as though they are my pets 🥰 I have a part time job that takes up just a little time in my day the rest I have so much free time and I love to be productive and active when I have free time. I would prefer taking care of the pets in the clients home just because it is more convenient for me because my mom is allergic to animals and so that doesn’t work out for me and I think it is more for the owner because they don’t have to pack anything or worry about bringing me anything for there pet.

I’ll take care of your pets like they are my own I’ll take them on walks play with them and let them run free at the dog park. They are allowed on bed and couch. Maybe learn a trick or two in the process.
About: I have experience cat and dog sitting for various breeds and ages, and have been doing this for most of my adult life—I love it. From taking your dogs on walks, staying over night with your kitties or puppies, or even taking care of them when they are sick, I would love to make sure your pet is taken care of just as you would yourself. I’ve dealt with rambunctious wire hairs, skittish kittens, and everything in between. I am so excited to meet your favorite doggo or kitto and love on them! I currently have a flexible schedule. When dropping in or taking your pets on a walk I am available 2-3 times a day. For overnight stays I am able to be there every night (all night) and stop in during the day between my work schedules (I work multiple part time jobs for better flexibility). I would be happy to discuss what this looks like further! Please keep in mind I cannot be at your home all day everyday for housesitting / animal sitting unless it is booked over a month in advance and it would cost more as I would need to take time off from other work to make that happen. But if you do not require that level of attention then things will be much easier to figure out! However you choose for me to care for your pets inside your home I am ready and prepared to do! I love cuddling with your pets and making sure they are as comfortable as possible while you are away. All I ask is for clear instructions so I can keep your fur baby’s schedule and environment as consistent as possible.
About: I have experience with pets of all ages—from high-energy puppies who need structure and patience, to senior pets who require extra love, medication, and slow, gentle care. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical meds, handling special diets, and following detailed care routines. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine—whether it’s early morning feedings, afternoon walks, evening cuddles, or keeping detailed checklists for pets with special needs. I structure my schedule around the animals in my care, not the other way around. Your pet’s routine becomes my routine. Basically: I’m the sitter who cares about the little stuff and the big stuff—and your pets can tell the difference. When I care for pets in their own home, I respect their space and their routine. I follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walking routes. I keep everything tidy, send regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar environment. My goal is always to make your absence as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet.
About: I love taking care of babies. Dogs make me happy. I have 2 of my own, but my love won't let me have anymore. This way I can love more. I've never seen a dog as just "a dog". My Border Collie saved me as much as I saved her. I think dogs bring a "peace" to their human. I've saved quite a lot, I use to find them, and if I couldn't find their human, I'd give them a home, show them love and then get to work finding the perfect home. I want to be able to spread love to as many pups as I can. If I'm tending to your baby. It's important that you know I'll love them and treat them as my own.
About: I am currently employed as a dog groomer and I have experience as a vet tech! I have had my two dogs for 8 years and I also have pet cats. I have been involved in the rescue community for years, saving dogs and cats and having them sent up north for adoptions. I have the patience required to care for all kinds of animals! I work as a dog groomer during the day, and I can bring my dogs to work with me because we have kennels separating each dog. I am off all day on Sundays. I am extremely patient when it comes to caring for my pets and others’ pets. I am extremely skilled caring for aggressive and timid dogs. One of my dogs has arthritis and hip dysplasia, so he is on constant medication and steroid injections. My other Pomeranian has urinary problems and anxiety, especially around any loud noises, so I have to be extremely patient when she wakes up at all hours of the morning when she is having an anxiety attack. One of my cats also has an enlarged heart, so he is on medication everyday for the rest of his life. But, I wouldn’t change them for anything in the world. Their traits and quirkiness makes them each special in their own way and I look forward to taking care of your pets and learning their different personalities! I work as a dog groomer during the day, so I am allowed to take my pets or my boarding dogs with me to work. We do not allow the dogs to interact for safety reasons, so each dog has their own large kennel. This way your fur babies are not left home alone all day, everyday. I have a fenced yard and friendly pets. I have a two bedroom home with a large living room area. If your dogs are not good with other dogs or cats, I can keep my pets in a separate room while giving your pups the space that they require to feel comfortable and safe. We allow our pets on the bed, so if your pup likes cuddles- there’s plenty to go around! I keep my pets as well as my boarding dogs on a strict schedule when it comes to eating and meds because consistency is key! I try to send pictures and videos every few days so that my clients can have peace of mind while their pups are being boarded and enjoy their trip! I also have cameras all over the inside and outside of my home so that if I am away I can constantly check on my pets and yours.
About: I’ve always have had a huge heart for all animals since I was a kid. Now that we have adopted our baby I got to quit my job and stayhome.But I would love to do something I actually love and that is taking care of fur babies. I have 5 dogs and 1 cat ranging from pitbull, American Bully, miniature pincher, and two Frenchies. They are definitely spoiled for sure. I am available anytime except for overnight visits. My fur babies are very gentle with our son and he will learn to love animals as well.. I have a fenced backyard that our fur babies get to enjoy sunbathing in playing as much as they like. I will not be bringing any animals to our home just for the safety of not knowing how my dogs would like other dogs in their yard..
About: I have over 8 years of training and care giving experience in over 20 different species of animals ranging from livestock to dolphins. My life has always involved animals. Growing up we had at one point 20 pets (chickens to an iguana). I continued and expanded my animal experience when I decided to pursue a Bachelors degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M-Kingsville. Equipped with my formal education, I started a career at the Texas State Aquarium where I learned how to train an array of species using operant conditioning focusing on obtaining desired behaviors through positive reinforcement. When I left the aquarium I branched out to the veterinarian side of the industry. Finally, I made it back to training and decided to focus on dogs because they are such an integrated aspect of our day to day lives. Now, after a years of calling South Texas home, I was delivered to the island of Oahu. I currently work as a marine observer, taking my love for animals to the ocean. I collect data for conservation and mitigation. When I’m not out at sea, I want bring love and fun into your pets life. Being around God’s gentle creatures is truly where my heart sings!!! I understand that our pets are not just an animal that lives with us but they are family! Their well-being is a priority. Consistent exercise and compassionate caregiving will create a happy, healthy pet! LET ME ADD TO YOUR HOME-LIFE OF HAPPINESS! ❤️ I will assist you in caring for your pets from exercise to training (using positive reinforcement), grooming, and/or pet sitting! I have a very unique and adventurous job that takes me off land for 14-28 days at a time. I’m a marine observer. But when I am in between voyages, I am completely free to live life anyway. I am able to accommodate nearly any schedule. My services are ideal for pet owners that need someone for a day or a few weeks at a time. I consider caring for your pet a premium service and you both deserve premium actions. With this in mind, you and your pets comfort are number one priority. If you decide that a hike is something that is good, hiking we will go. But if your pet requires different, lower activity needs, a relaxing walk in the neighborhood is in call. I can also offer obedience training for you pet.
About: What sets me apart is my six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, combined with formal animal hospital training. My passion began when I got my first puppy, whom I personally trained in potty training and basic commands such as sit, spin, and catch. Over time, I also gained experience managing multiple dogs in a household, learning how to balance different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. During these times, I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, medication administration, and general companionship. I plan my day to prioritize pets’ needs, ensuring they get consistent care, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care exclusively at my clients' homes because I already have pets at my own residence, and I'm not permitted to bring in more. While at my clients' homes, I tailor my care for their dogs based on their specific preferences. Regular updates on their pets are a priority for me, and I always communicate promptly with clients if I have any questions regarding their pets.

“If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and absolutely fantastic dog sitter, look no further! I recently left my 3 month old puppy with Jennifer S. and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she truly cares for animals. She took the time to learn about specific needs, and routines, which put my mind at ease right away. Throughout the stay, she provided regular updates, including photos about what my puppy had been up to—walks, playtime, and all the cuddles! It’s obvious that my puppy was well cared for and I think she was not happy to leave her new friends. Jennifer S. treats her clients’ pets as if they were her own, which is so reassuring. If you need someone who’s trustworthy, experienced, and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Jennifer S.”
