“She is an so amazing with both of our dogs, she makes sure both my pitties get a great mid day exercise and this is the first time I’ve come home from work and they aren’t filled with pent up energy. I whole heartedly trust her with my fur babies. She made sure she addressed concerns ahead of time which I loved.”

About: Hello doggy parents and families! My name is Maryssa, I’m 28 years old and a stay at home mom with lots of free time, and a love for animals. I am new to rover, but not new to pet care. I’ve 20+ years of pet care experience, and am looking to build my pet sitting business. I have a huge passion for dogs, with two mixed pit bulls at home, and a short haired tabby cat. I am skilled in dog walking (any size ☺️), strict feeding schedules, cuddles, and more. Please message me any care needs you have and I will be sure to accommodate. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your furry friend! I’m a stay at home mom and I have a lot of free time! I love spending time with my dogs, going for walks and to the dog park! In my home my animals can be crated if needed, and they are let outside on a long lead. For visits for your animal, I can provide any service needed!

“Megan has been great taking my dog Maggie for weekly walks! She is friendly and great with Mags. Good communication and always on time! Will definitely continue using her!”

“Met Josh for an interview and he took his time coming through the door to make sure my dog was comfortable, that was great. We all went for a walk and chatted about what I was expecting as an owner and what was best for my dog. I hired him for a few walks to see how it went and everything was wonderful. Very respectful, sent photos and updated me when he arrived, walked and left. We are very happy to have someone so responsible and kind when we are gone from the house. Shorty says Hire Josh :)”

About: ⸻ What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, intuitive approach to animal care—think “Mary Poppins meets animal whisperer.” I don’t just watch pets; I create a nurturing, structured environment where they feel safe, loved, and engaged. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with administering medication, managing special diets, and adapting routines to meet each pet’s physical and emotional needs. For puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping with basic training, crate comfort, and establishing good habits early on. For senior pets, I provide thoughtful care—whether that’s supporting mobility, sticking to precise medication schedules, or simply offering quiet companionship. Beyond the basics, I bring a warm energy, attention to detail, and a genuine love for animals that always shines through. My goal is for both pets and their humans to feel completely at ease—like they’ve found a sitter who’s not just capable, but truly cares. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s not something I squeeze in; it’s something I prioritize. Whether I’m walking dogs, administering medication, or simply spending quiet time with a senior pet, I structure my schedule to ensure each animal gets consistent, focused attention. I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care, from early morning potty breaks to evening feedings and bedtime routines. I also build in time for play, enrichment, and cuddles—because emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical care. If I’m caring for multiple pets or have bookings throughout the week, I stay organized with detailed notes, reminders, and plenty of communication with owners. For me, caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s a rhythm I genuinely enjoy being part of. Pet care for clients home • Feeding & Fresh Water: Administer meals according to the pet’s schedule and dietary needs. • Daily Exercise & Play: Walks, fetch, playtime, or enrichment activities based on the pet’s energy level. • Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and ensuring the area is tidy. • Medication Administration: If required, administer medications or supplements as instructed. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, adjusting lights, and maintaining a lived-in appearance. • Communication: Sending daily updates, photos, or videos to the client.

About: My family had many pets growing up. I enjoy making connections with pets by showing patience, lovings, empathy, prioritize safety and of course have respect for the owners. I’m an educator home for the summer eager to keep busy with animals!! Most of the time, I’ll be able to tweak my routine to accommodate services. I would treat every pet the way I treat my own pet. Spoiled! I truly enjoy being attentive to their needs and especially their WANTS.

About: I originally came to Rover in search of care for my own animals while traveling pre-COVID. Leaving them can be hard and I understand wanting to hire someone who will love them and treat them with the same care as you do! It’s so incredibly important to find someone you trust to be responsible for family and your home. I currently have 2 cats that I rescued and am proudly a dog aunt to every dog in my neighborhood! Every week I get photos of pups sitting outside my house looking for me to come outside and play with them while on walks with their owners! (See my photos!) I had dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters growing up and totally believe that pets are part of the family who deserve to be treated as such! I’ve fed, walked, bathed, played with, and helped train lots of animals over the years. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs with special needs, including medications, ear drops, eye drops, and special diets. Watching pets age can be so challenging, and I understand wanting to only leave them in the hands of someone who cares to gently support them. I also lived with a black lab puppy and know how much work a puppy can be, but the snugggles and kisses are all worth it! I am also an avid gardener and happy to take care of your plants and bring in the mail while you’re away. I currently work full time (830am-430pm) but am happy to hang out with or walk your pets early in the morning, on my lunch break, or after work and on the weekends! With a bit of advance notice, I can make almost any evening or weekend work. My cats are quite spoiled and enjoy their quiet life, so I can’t take any back animals to my own house. In others’ homes, I am always respectful of their property and space, and thoughtful for their pet and home’s safety.

“Archie loved loved his time with Rebecca! She followed each instruction and walked and fed him as agreed upon! Archie can’t wait to have Rebecca sit for him again! 🐾”

About: As a passionate pet lover, I have gained extensive experience in providing exceptional care for a wide variety of pets. I am knowledgeable about proper nutrition, exercise routines, and grooming practices to keep pets healthy and happy. Additionally, I am skilled in handling different temperaments, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for both pets and their owners. Committed to going above and beyond, I am always eager to learn and adapt to the evolving needs of our furry friends. I am a real estate agent so most of my days are at home working. Occasionally I go out to show homes or to do a booked appt/ at that time a crate is preferred if not pets are always welcome to go to work with me! I have a French Bulldog. She is pretty high maintenance so all of our visitors will get the same love and care our own pet receives. Our fur babies are treated like family and yours will be too!

“Amber is great! Charlie is usually shy when he meets a new person, but he warmed up to her right away! She took him on a nice, long walk and sent great pictures. I feel confident using her routinely going forward! 10/10!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since my family got one as a child, and regularly care for family/friends animals overnight when they are away. Getting to make a dog or cat happy with play time or a walk is the greatest gift I work full time from home, so can take dogs on a walk during lunch, and take care of animals overnight on weekends. Holidays are available as well I will follow any and all rules you set forth to best protect your fur baby, whether that be a harness while walking or crating

“I have a Senior dog that loves Isabel. She is patient and takes time with him. Sends great pics and videos of the visit. Great communication too.”

I take care of my cat daily, and make sure she has enrichment everyday. I am able to follow any directions you leave for me. I know how to feed dogs and cats, as well as clean up their messes.
