About: I have had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, fish, turtles, hamsters and even a rooster. Currently I have two small dogs and three cats. My animals mean the world to me and I know yours are important to you as well. I will do my best to make sure they are well cared for and also make sure your home is secure. I am fully retired which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. I have a lot of free time that I am trying to fill up. Bringing some joy and comfort to your pet's lonely day while you are away would be a great way to spend that extra free time I have :) I have two dogs and three cats. They are friendly to other dogs if yours needs to stay with me for short term periods. I have a fenced in yard but all my pets stay in the house as would yours. When I visit your home, I will make sure everything seems the way it should be and alert you if something doesn't seem right.
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, and more. I’m not allowed to have any pets where I live now, so I have endless patience for everyone else’s pets. I miss having animals in my life so I’m grateful for the chance to keep your pets happy while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible. I work from home so I can go to clients’ homes and stay with pets for a couple hours or stop by a few times a day. I’m also available most weekends. I’m unable to care for pets in my home but at clients’ homes I plan to follow all their rules and spend as much time playing outside with dogs and playing inside with other animals as possible.
About: Hi, I’m Maria! I’ve always been an animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have two cats myself (who I’m totally obsessed with), so I understand how important it is to leave your pets in good hands. Whether I’m going for a walk with your pup or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I pay attention to the little things—every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Caring for cats is a daily routine for me, as I’m the proud owner of two feline companions. I delight in pampering them with treats and expressing my affection through play whenever there are toys at hand. I have two cats of my own who love being in my company, and I’ve frequently cared for my friends’ pets when they’re away. They affectionately refer to me as their pets’ honorary aunt.
About: I've fostered and taken care of reactive dogs as well as dogs with medical needs. I'm experienced in administering insulin and caring for senior dogs. I have a flexible work schedule and am happy to care for any pets on the weekends. On the weekdays, my schedule greatly varies so it would be best to directly contact me with inquiries. I offer house sitting and dog walking services. If your fur baby gets along with mine, I'm more than happy to care for them in my apartment. I have a balcony where my cat loves to watch the cars go by and also have access to a fenced in play area for dogs to run around in.

“Katie is amazing!! She handled my pups with care and leaves detailed reviews and good pics. She took them for good walks the past two days and gave them snacks afterwards. 10/10 would recommend her!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Allison made sure we had a wonderful experience. She is an excellent communicator which put my mind at ease. She shared so many adorable photos and our pets loved her. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you so much, Allison!!”

About: I have been raised around all animals for as long as I could remember from puppies, dogs of various breeds and sizes, kittens and cats, and many others. I am currently in college, planning on going into a career that cares for a large variety of animals. I would be very excited to care for your pets! When coming into your home your beloved pets are my top priority. Their health is my only care. No matter what they need whether that be food and water, a walk, or a bath I am happy to do it all!
“Izel is excellent! He is such an easy going person, great to talk to, and great with our dogs! My youngest pup has high anxiety, but he sat down on the ground with her and she started to warm up to him. He is accommodating and understanding, definitely recommend him!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals from a young age. I started walking dogs at 8 years old, including dogs with set schedules and one I walked daily after school. I’ve cared for both indoor and outdoor cats since I was 8 and have been around dogs my entire life, including pit bulls from a young age. I recently adopted my own kitten and previously trained my own puppy from 7 years old, teaching basic commands like sit and paw. I’m patient, responsible, and truly love providing safe, loving care for pets! I currently only work part time and I’m an online student so I have lots of free time ! I recently got my first apartment and am learning living by yourself comes with a lot being at the dog park in my community brings me peace, I like to walk there when I just need to reset from life! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to ensure comfort and consistency. This includes scheduled walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and lots of attention and affection. I make sure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs. I always prioritize leash safety, hydration, and positive interactions. If caring for dogs in my home, I provide a clean, calm, and supervised environment with regular walks, playtime, and rest. I live just five minutes from a dog park, which I can use with owner approval for exercise and enrichment. I always monitor behavior closely and ensure dogs are safe and comfortable at all times.

About: As long as I can remember, I have had a pet or helped care for others' pets. I have worked as a foster pet parent for two nonprofits. I currently work weekdays with a very flexible schedule. My partner is finishing school with online classes and is home throughout the day most days. Each morning the first thing we do is check on our pets and pets in our care. I love starting their day with exercise if they're up for it with fetch, chase, or a walk. My dog is fed twice a day and kept in a separate area from our rescue cat who mostly stays in my daughters room. I am exceptionally skilled at socializing animals and helping them stay comfortable, which can mean sectioning off areas of the home for different pet friends if needed. If it's a cat you need watched, I love getting cats feeling comfortable by being patient and using toys or treats that you approve of to help bring out their inner kitten. I have a fenced yard for dogs to use, including toys, dirt to dig in with no guilt, and an extra large water dish. We never lock dogs outside and they have easy access back inside whenever they want. I collect leashes for long walks and love the kind of bonding I can get with a one on one walk. If your pet needs extra exercise, I have you covered! The highlight of my day is walking my dogs or dogs in my care. I work together with my partner to make sure someone is always home with pets. My schedule changes, but I will only show availability for boarding if someone will be home at all times. We like dogs to feel at home, so we set up the house and yard to be safe for pets. I am mostly doing reading or computer work at home, and many guest dogs simply snuggle on my lap or next to me while I work, being well worn out from walks or yard time. I love walking dogs but I know some dogs prefer off leash yard time. I really try to get to know your pets and what makes them happiest.

“Carole and Scott went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby was takin care of. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has a fur baby that they consider like their own children. I will be using them in the future 😁”
“Pam arrived in time and Ralphie instantly loved her. Pam’s personality is awesome and she really knows how to make the pet feel comfortable. She took her time getting to know Ralphie and seemed to really enjoy walking with him. Ralphie seems to have had a great time and I think he really likes Pam.”

About: I have taken care of many different types of dogs since I started dogsitting at a young age. I have had the opportunity to dogsit french bulldogs, labradors, golden retrievers, doodles of all kinds, and beagles! I am excited to have the opportunity to take care of your furry family members and help you out!! I work from home so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to leave and take walks when needed. I also wake up early in the morning so I am happy to take your pups on their morning walk if need be! I like starting my morning early anyways, so it's a plus if I get to add a furry friend to it as well!! I am an attentive caretaker due to my work-from-home job. It allows me the flexibility to drop in on your pets, take them for walks to the park and give them a lot of love.
Venetia dog parents share their Rover experiences
Pam is amazing and trustworthy. I used her because I already knew her and knew she was amazing, and was not disappointed. She communicated well, my dog loved her and she made sure my dog, who is a new rescue known for getting loose previously, was safe, secure and well taken care of. 100% recommend Pam. She is respectful, kind and she is calm and confident with dogs. 😊

We have trouble finding someone flexible to fit our busy schedule and someone that our dog Walter is comfortable with. Max is amazing! He is reliable, easy to work with, always on time and sends lots of pictures. He even came by to meet our dog before we scheduled walks with him to make sure he was comfortable. Walter loves him and we will be booking with Max anytime we need some extra help with our baby.

Bradley is very communicative, follows up to confirm dates / times, and is friendly and personable. He is great with my big, hyper dogs, enjoys walking and playing fetch with them, keeping them active and entertained with lots of belly rubs. Highly recommend Bradley for your pet care needs!
