“Stellar pet sitting. Ning went above and beyond to make sure I knew my cat was take such good care of. She was attentive to details and followed all care instructions. My cat loved her and behaved just like I was home. So reassuring. I will be booking with her again! Such peace of mind.”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.
About: I have always had dogs in the household ever since I was born. More specifically my family had my sister and I grow up around Black Labs the entirety of my life. Neighbors as well as my immediate family have relied on me to take care of their animals. Whether it be a short walk or staying with them for an extended period of time, I was their guy! I have an extremely open/flexible schedule. I am self employed so I pretty much choose when I want to work my other job. Taking care of animals via Rover will take top priority unless my job situation changes. If that occurs I will make sure to update my profile accordingly! I have no other animals/roommates in my apartment. So your dog/cat will get all the undivided love and attention they deserve while you're away. Same rules apply if I am asked to dog/cat sit at a clients home!
“It was so nice to have Bella cat/house sit for us on our recent trip. So comforting to know our cats had a person to spend time with in the evenings and give them lots of attention. She also left our place super clean! Would definitely ask back. Thanks Bella!”
About: I have been a CVT for 15 years, actively working at an emergency/specialty clinic. I can care for all ages and sizes of dogs and cats. I have a part time job that is flexible, my main focus is pet care and services. I am available most days and hours. I am pet sitting or caring for pets on a daily basis. I will utilize your house to care for your pets so they are more comfortable and less stressed. I will follow your daily routines to keep them feeling secure.
“Elizabeth did an amazing job of taking care of our dog in our home while we were on vacation. She stopped over to meet Sersi in advance and go over the timing and expectations for visits. Once we were gone she always visited as agreed upon and made sure Sersi had everything she needed. She even sent some videos so I could see that Sersi was comfortable (which she would not have been had she been in a kennel for the week). I would not hesitate to book Elizabeth again in the future.”
About: I have had Golden Retrievers for over 20 Years - We have had one Litter of Puppies I am a very responsible person and would always treat all pets with care and kindness. I have sat for friends and family Pets in my home and theirs. I love sending the photo updates with cute comments for the owners when they are away !! I am Currently available for mostly weekend's but I may be able to accommodate during the week with some discussion. I can let pets out and ay needed Intervals. I have pets of my own.

About: I bring 10 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. Along with caring for my own pets, I’ve worked with many pet care jobs as well as fostering animals, which has strengthened my skills with shy, anxious and special- needs pets. I pride myself on being patient, gentle, and detail-oriented. Whether your pet needs structure, extra reassurance or just someone who understands their quirks, I provide care that meets and often exceeds your expectations. My goal is to make both you and your pets feel completely comfortable, supported and safe. For new pet families I am also offering a promo for discounted services! Feel free to message me for further details. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work from home most days, which gives me the flexibility for drop-ins, walks and check-ins throughout the day. I’m in the office on Tuesday and Thursday’s from 8-4, sometimes a little later, but I’m fully available before/after work on these days. In my home, pets get a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible- feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime & quiet time. I offer lots of attention, enrichment, and safe supervised time. I also make sure cats and dogs have their own space if needed, especially for pets who are shy or like to warm up slowly. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly as given- feeding, medication, walks, litter cleaning, crate routines and playtime. I respect your home, and keep everything tidy, and send frequent updates so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal in either setting is to make your pet feel secure, loved, and completely cared for.
“Angelina was amazing! Very communicative before and during the trip. Also very flexible with any changes. She stayed in our home and the place was very clean when ww got back. My pets loved having her here.”
About: I had dogs in my family. I walked them and fed them. I could play with them. I love petting dogs. I also love a lot of other animals. I usually get up around 8-8:30 in the morning. I go to bed around 11 pm. I work from about 9:30 am to 5 pm. I am usually very careful with other people's property. I understand that because of a stranger in the house, a dog or a cat can be a little unfriendly. But I always try to establish contact.
About: Previous employment I'm skilled with breaking up dog fights, grooming animals, walking animals, training animals, etc. It would be my absolute pleasure to give your pets some love while you're away. I like to stay busy, so if I have free time I prefer to fill it rather than not do anything. I have a heart for animals and if I can occupy myself by helping care for others pets, why not do just that? My pet has a lead that is within our homes perimeter so she cannot go into neighbors yards, I also have a kennel for her to be put into if need be. Depending on others houses, usually there is a fenced in yard for the pet to be let out in, I still prefer to watch when they get let out just to make sure they don't misbehave.
About: Hello I'm Jack! Throughout my career, I've worked at a variety of shelters, farms, rescues and wildlife centers. I have animal medical training including CPR and have experience handling emergency situations effectively. I also have a lot of experience with uncommon domestic animals like avians, amphibians and reptiles, small mammals, horses and livestock. I'm intensely passionate about this line of work and treat all animals as if they are a part of my family! I'm a very flexible person and can work with you to fit any schedule! I create my own working schedule so that provides me with a lot of leeway. I will respect you and your animal's comfort and training needs and strive to keep them consistent with their schedule and lifestyle. We can work together to figure out what that means!
“Nikole was INCREDIBLY awesome with my baby girl while we were out of the country! She was super attentive, sent pictures every day, and gave her lots of cuddles! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”
“We left our sweet dog, Marvin, with Ramsey for a week while she stayed at our home. Very happy with the experience. She was flexible with our requests and was professional. She sent photos of their time together and Marv seemed to be happy and content. I appreciated her prompt responses during the booking process and while we were away. She even taught him a few tricks. We will defintely request to use her again!”
“Cindy Is the ideal cat sitter. I wanted to not have to worry about Baby Bear having a clean litter box and eating his wet and dry food. Cindy was there for him and he’s happy! That’s what a great pet sitter does.”
“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”
“Mallory was wonderful with our high-anxiety dog, Scotty and our Holly. She was exactly what they needed and made us feel relaxed while we were away visiting family. Will definitely hire again.”

Rebekah stayed with our 4 dogs and 1 cat this past weekend and honestly everything went perfect! Our dogs and cat were very well taken care of and our house looked as though she never stayed. She was very prompt with updates throughout the weekend and gave our fur babies so much love! We will be using her again in the future and would highly recommend!!
Sadie did a great job! It was our first pet sitting venture, and my first time with Rover, which is always a bit nerve-wracking with our fur babies. But I was very pleased, and she tolerated, understood and followed my detailed instructions well. Thanks, Sadie and Rover! I'll definitely have you back!
Elizabeth did an amazing job of taking care of our dog in our home while we were on vacation. She stopped over to meet Sersi in advance and go over the timing and expectations for visits. Once we were gone she always visited as agreed upon and made sure Sersi had everything she needed. She even sent some videos so I could see that Sersi was comfortable (which she would not have been had she been in a kennel for the week). I would not hesitate to book Elizabeth again in the future.
