“Joy did a wonderful job with my pups while I was away for nearly 2weeks. Unexpectedly she had to take my one to the vet as we noticed something just the day before I had to leave. She kept me fully updated along the way and I felt a lot better knowing she would show the same amount of concern and care as I would. I received frequent updates and lots of pictures too! My dogs are definitely a handful and take a good amount of patience, so I really appreciate all that she does for me. I would definitely have Joy stay at my house any time I am in need of a kind hearted pet lover.”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. My dog was so chill when I returned I could tell Alyssa gave her the love and care she needed during my departure. Additionally, she left the house as she found it. I highly recommend Alyssa for dog walking/sitting.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I absolutely adore all animals and am super picky about how my pets are cared for. It's always scary leaving them with anyone new, so you can be sure that I will take care of yours exactly how you ask me to and will make sure they are safe and have everything they need. I've trained all of my dogs and currently have an elderly girl so I have experience across all age ranges. I'm very used to administering medications and handling complex diets. I'm not currently working outside of the home so I have tons of free time to care for your pet/pets. I am available day or night currently. I will follow your instructions when caring for your pet in your home. You know best what your pet needs and I will follow your lead. I will make sure they are safe at all times and pay attention to all the little details.
“Hadleigh was an outstanding sitter!!! We’ve never left our 3 dogs with anyone outside the family, so we were understandably worried, but once Hadleigh met our pups, they took right to her and our worries went right away! She took great care of them, just like they were her own. She made sure to ask any questions that we didn’t cover ahead of time and stayed in touch regularly. She even stayed later than the arranged time on the last day when an emergency popped up. We highly recommend Hadleigh. Your babies will be in great hands! Thank you, Hadleigh!!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, have learned a lot extensively these past 4 1/2 years, a lot about their behavior, body language different personalities, etc. I’ve trained and worked with senior dogs and puppies as young as 14 weeks old! Pet care is a daily routine for me. Once I get up in the morning I let my dog out, feed both him and my cat, make sure they’ve both got plenty of water. I will either take my dog out on walks or exercise and train with him in the backyard. I do brush them (or try to) weekly as well. Depending on the type of yard the home has, I will either A. Let dog(s) out in fenced back yard Or B. Let dog(s) out on lead. If one is not friendly with another I can crate and rotate to prevent issues and ensure both dogs (or as many as there are) are all shown the right amount of attention and care! As far as cats go I like to take my time as I know not all of them are social, I tend to not push boundaries and let them do as they please while they have time to warm up to me. :)
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a gentler routine. I’m confident with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, administering meds, and offering plenty of structured playtime and affection. Whether your pet needs a jogging buddy, a calm companion, or someone to stick to their routine like clockwork, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home! My primary job is remote, which allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, I do currently work part-time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am typically home by 1:00 PM. In addition, my weekends are completely open and available. I live in a peaceful, low-traffic area with over 20 acres of walking paths and wooded trails—perfect for outdoor exercise and exploration. I also have a wraparound porch with multiple leads for safe and relaxed outdoor time. I have two friendly, playful female dogs of my own, and I’m experienced in managing multi-dog environments. If needed, I’m fully capable of crating or separating pets to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care and any support your friend may need to feel right at home!
“We loved Jana! She was kind, courteous and polite always. She sent us lots of pictures and kept in communication with us. Our home was clean and she even stripped the bed of the linens. 10/10 would/will call her again!!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since the day I was born, so much so that I decided to become an RVT! I’m also an equine massage therapist! I work full time but I have a lot of free time on evenings and weekends. I also am not a big vacation person myself so I’m usually available if last minute plans “happen” I can not offer care in my home but I will take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home. This proves to be best for your fur baby!
“As always, Alyssa took great care of my dog Jake during my overnight trip to Denver. I received updates on her arrival and departure, as well as some communications in-between and a photo, all of which are always a great comfort while I'm away. I highly recommend Alyssa as a dog and house sitter and appreciate her good work!”
About: Im a pre-vet student who has worked in hospital, shelter, and rehabilitation settings, so I know how important our 4-legged family members are. Even when we have to leave them at home we want to make sure they stay happy and comfortable and that's why I do what I do! Im currently working at a veterinary hospital, so evenings are always great, and I often have 3 or 4 days off a week where I can spend even more time with your friends! You know best when it comes to your animals and your house. Whatever you are able to tell me about their behavior, rules, or routines will be taken into account and I will make sure everyone stays happy and healthy!
“Merideth is fantastic! She was very attentive, patient and kind with my shy, high maintenance dog. She communicated well, followed all instructions and requests, and my dog loves her!”
About: In the late 90s had a German shepherd that was from Germany and trained in Germany enjoy her so much.wanting part time sitting work now Looking for employment that is not inside of a building anymore worked 32 years inside want to be able to enjoy the outdoors and the company of a dog Will treat your pet like it was my own mainly looking for dog walking around my area just to see if I can make a difference.
About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. I am used to taking my two dogs on walks every evening and am comfortable with giving pets medication. I have watched pets of all sizes and ages and believe my flexible schedule would make me the perfect pet sitting candidate. I am a homebody and love spending extra time with your pet when I’m available to do so! I have my own business so my schedule is very flexible. I am available at almost anytime of the day and can easily work from home (weekends may vary). I have two dogs of my own, so I am used to a strict pet schedule as far as feeding, potty breaks, play time, etc. I am also used to sleeping with dogs and walking/playing with them regularly.
About: Back in college, I used to dog sit for friends and neighbors, and I absolutely loved it! Whether it was tossing a ball around, going on long walks, or just keeping them company, spending time with dogs always made my day. I found real joy in caring for them and making sure they felt happy and safe while their owners were away. I’m excited to get back to doing something I enjoy while helping out fellow pet parents! I’m a licensed esthetician and would love to spend my weekends walking dogs! I recently got engaged, and since I’ve always loved being around dogs, I thought,why not do something I enjoy while saving up for the wedding? It’s the perfect way to combine my love for animals with a meaningful goal! I currently have two cats. One is an orange cat named boots and he is always full of energy and typical orange cat personality. The other one is named Pru. She is a tortoiseshell cat, and has all the attitude which means I have to play with her all the time too! fun fact, my tortoiseshell cat has 10 toes on each of her front paws!
About: Hey there! My name is Dorottya. I've taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a kid and I always seem to be a pet magnet when I visit my friends, they just can't get enough of my cuddles. I've also been known to talk and sing to animals, it makes them happy and sooths them. I believe that creating a comfortable and caring environment while pet owners are away will help bridge the gap between the times they will be together again. No one wants a sad puppy or kitty while pet parents are away. My main options on here are for house sitting and dog walking. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years, so I have a medical background. I work full-time on my own business and typically leave a couple days open to my rover clients. I'm currently working on my own business, and I'm available to pet sit and dog walk a couple days a week from 9 am to overnight when needed. I respect the homes of my clients when pet sitting, or dog walking. I love to tailor the day to fit the individual pet's needs and their schedules for feedings, medications (if pet is taking them), potty, and activities (play time or walking).
