About: I’ve been a pet care taker for 10 years off and on. I’ve had pets all my life. I work from home so they’re never alone for long! I work from home so I am able to play with the animals frequently and let them go outside to potty. They love the all day attention! I have lots of treats to offer and I’m always buying new toys for them. We always have fresh water and feeding is morning and evening.

“Jessica was great! It was our first time using the site or getting a dog walker and she came to meet us and our dog earlier to put our mind at ease! She was super friendly and walked our dog right when we asked her to!”
“This was our first time using Lillian and we will definitely use her again. She was punctual and followed our directions for care and walks. Sadie enjoyed Lillian too, as evidenced by her waiting by the door for Lillian each time! Five stars for sure!”
About: I love all kinds of pets. You will be confident in knowing when you leave your pet with me. They will be loved and happy. I currently work hybrid during the day with a very flexible schedule. I can come home at any time to feed or let your pet out. I have a large wide open yard. We live on a dead end road. I currently have a small toy Shih Tzu. She’s just over 15 years old, but loves to play with other animals.
About: I have been lucky enough to spend time with dogs of a range of ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs, just let me know! I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and I always move at their pace. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly if something seem off. But most importantly, I make sure that they're safe and happy, while waiting for their favorite person to come back to them. Caring for the fluffy angels is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home, which means I can dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship without rushing. Whether I'm welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a quiet apartment surrounded by forest and green space, with very little car traffic in the neighborhood, which is perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor sniff time. At my place, I maintain a clean and cozy space with plenty of room for your doggie or kitty to lounge, play, or nap. In your home, I'll respect the privacy and cleaness of your space. I will follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication schedules and favorite toys, because I know how important familiarity and consistency is to their happiness.
About: I had a yellow labrador retriever for 15 years (Sadly she passed away recently). I’ve taken care of her my whole life, from when she was a puppy to when she was a senior dog at the end of her journey. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I have experience with senior dogs, like my own! I treat pets like family and give them the utmost care and love. I will treat your dog like my own and shower them with love and affection. I’m currently a college student with lots of free time! I’m in my final year and have a reduced workload, and want to find a way to be more active in my lifestyle. I do all of the necessary things to take care of your pet and keep it healthy. I will treat your pet like my own, with the very best care and love. I can crate your dog, follow a feeding/bathroom schedule, and am flexible and can stick to any routines you may have.
About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal
“Ryan & Giovanna walked Toby for us and were punctual, communicative and provided great care for him! They went above and beyond just providing walks but also wiping him down, providing fresh water and feeding him. We were happy with their service. Would recommend.”
About: I have hands-on experience with animals, caring for my family dog by bathing, playing, and loving her, and taking care of my cat by feeding him twice daily, cleaning his teeth, and ensuring regular vet check-ins. With a flexible schedule, working only three times a week, I have ample free time to dedicate to additional responsibilities. This will allow me to spend my time catering to your pets needs. To take care of pets in the home, I prioritize their daily needs and well-being. I ensure they are fed on a consistent schedule, provide fresh water, and maintain a clean living environment. I dedicate time to grooming, such as brushing fur and cleaning teeth, and I stay attentive to their health with regular vet visits and monitoring for any changes in behavior. I also engage them with play, exercise, and affection to keep them happy and stimulated.

Yuting D.
“Yuting has cared for my two cats when I go out of town. One of my cats is very needy, and she always plays and pets him. The other cat is judgmental and feisty, and Yuting respects this cat's boundaries. She follows my instructions, from when and how much to feed my cats, as well as watering any plants. Additionally, she has put some medication on the pet food as well. Yuting also notifies me if she notices if one of my cats is not eating or any other unusual behavior.”
Allia P.
“Although not through Rover, our family has had great experience with Allia caring for our dog Radar. She has been absolutely responsible, prioritizing our family's needs in caring for both Radar, our home, and our way of life with pets. When she has been entrusted with Radar, we have had pure peace of mind while we were away, sometimes for extended periods. On the one hand, she keeps clear boundaries and asserts those to her entrusted pets. On the other hand, Radar is a very large rescue and is not always an easy puppy. He has underlying fear since his puppy days and is not quick to warm up to strangers. But to Allia, who exudes care and gentleness, he warmed up quickly and knew that there was no threat. These days, when he sees her, his tail wags uncontrollably and looks for hugs and play. I would recommend Allia to anyone seeking a responsible and engaging guardian for their pup in their absence!”
Monica M.
“Monica is an exceptional pet sitter! She is trustworthy and reliable. She has cared for my dogs, cats, parrot, fish, chickens- she does it all! I know that I don't have to worry about my animals when she is there. I would highly recommend her for your house sitting/pet sitting needs.”

She gives an abundance of love, care, and attention to her pet ensuring her cat's or your pets' essential needs. Whether it be needing to pet-sit, taking them for strolls around the neighborhood, or just giving some extra friendly quality time and assurance, I am confident she would exceed your expectations for this role. Hope she is highly considered and hears from this company soon!”
Corrina S.
“Corrina was a pet sitter for us and took care of our 4 dogs. She was excellent and I would highly recommend her with any animals. She took care of them and treated them as her own. She is very compassionate and loving with all animals.”
Emma S.
“Emma is a passionate, kind hearted person. When it comes to my pets she is the first person I call when I need a sitter. She is so loving towards her cat Jackson, and loves all animals as her own. When she watched my cat Rose, it was clear they connected quick and Rose loved her! Emma makes sure your pets will be well loved and cared for while she watches them. The pets always connect with her fast and can sense her kind spirit. If you want your pets to be loved and treated with kindness Emma is the person for the job!!”
Abigail P.
“Abigail is the only person I would trust with all 12 of my specialty pets! She has worked with dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and probably everything! She is the most knowledgeable and trusting person that I know when it comes to pets, their well-being, and their health. I have seven ferrets, one chinchilla, two dogs, one cat, and one bearded dragon, I have no doubt that Abigail could take care of and give my pets everything they need!”
