About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 7 years old! Family friends and neighbors have relied on me to house sit, walk, and feed their pets. I love all animals and enjoy caring for them. I am currently a volunteer at a local animal shelter and have basic first aid training. I work from home most days so I have lots of flexibility. Outside of work hours I am completely free and able to travel to your home. I will tend to your animals as if they are my own. I will provide updates and communicate efficiently. Please provide me any details necessary for caring for your pets!

About: After our dog crossed the rainbow bridge at nearly 14 years old, my spouse, Randy and I, have loved caring for family pets intermittently. Being retired has opened up more time to share our love with your dog(s)! Retired couple. Our ranch home is pet friendly with sliding patio door for our fenced yard access. I am a nurse so also comfortable giving medications. We love walking dogs we care for if desired twice per day. We have a fenced yard with trail access for walking dogs if desired twice per day. Dogs are welcome on furniture if allowed at your home. We keep dog towels by our patio access for paw wiping.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with both dogs and cats, along with my ability to adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. I grew up around animals and have hands-on experience with senior pet care, including administering medications and supporting pets with mobility issues. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting routines to keep older pets safe and comfortable. I also work well with younger, more energetic dogs. I enjoy playtime and exercise, and I have a fenced-in backyard that’s great for games like fetch, as well as a walkable neighborhood for regular walks and enrichment. My home environment is another advantage—I offer a calm, quiet space that’s especially well-suited for pets who need lower stimulation or a more relaxed setting. While I do have three cats, I’m experienced in managing introductions and can easily separate spaces when needed. I’m happy to work with dogs who are cat-friendly or those who simply need a thoughtful, structured environment to feel at ease. Overall, I aim to provide a safe, flexible, and comfortable experience tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine, and because I work from home, I’m able to be present and attentive throughout the day. I’m used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins, so adding additional pets fits in seamlessly. I build in time for both structured care—like walks, meals, and medications—and more flexible time for attention, enrichment, and companionship. Because I value a calm, consistent environment, I’m intentional about maintaining routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, backyard play, or quiet downtime, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. When boarding dogs in my home, I treat each pet like a member of my family, providing a safe, comfortable, and structured environment. I maintain regular feeding schedules, offer plenty of exercise and playtime in my fenced backyard, and take dogs on walks around my walkable neighborhood. I also provide attention and companionship throughout the day to keep pets happy and engaged. For dogs with special needs, I can administer medications, accommodate mobility issues, and create a calm, low-stimulation space if needed. My home is set up so pets can interact safely with my three cats or have separate areas if they prefer. Overall, I focus on creating a routine and environment that helps every dog feel secure, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.

I have all the time in the world to care for your doggy children! Caring for your doggy children is my sole focus for me! I can care for your pets at your residence in any way .

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in college, providing care mostly to dogs and cats, including dog walks, playtime, administering medicine and medical care (including daily shots) to both dogs and cats. Friends and acquaintances have relied on me to care for their pets for up to six months at a time. I work from home and have a fairly open schedule so I’m available to stay in your home or visit your home and pets during the day and can keep them company during the workday as well as on the weekends. I care for pets as though they are my own and have had experience caring for pets on very strict schedules. I honor your wishes in how you want and need for your pet to be loved while you’re away.

“Nikki has been great with my young dog. She has walked/dropped in to check on him during two separate occasions when he was healing from surgery or other procedures from the vet. She is great about sending updates for when she is on the way to my house and on my dog’s mood that day. She is very good at reading him and judging whether he wanted to walk that day or just hang out in the backyard. I recommend Nikki for drop in visits or dog walks.”

About: I have 3 cats currently and their names are Mocha, Renato and Kazu. I have had a total of 4 years of cat experience. They are my bestest friends ever and I love them all :)!! I've had dogs in my home since I was a little kid. We had 3 dogs when I was growing up and their names were Princess, Bandit and Chloe and I had known these dogs since I was born and I miss them so much. I have taken care of a family friends' dog also and his name is Max. Since knowing him, I have always helped take care of him. We would take him on walks, I would feed him and give him treats, throw a ball with him outside and even watch TV with him! My availability is completely open! I will be able to take care of your pet friends at any time that is best for you :)! Morning - night time, I will be available. I feed my cats Mocha, Renato and Kazu 3 times every day and I clean their litter box very regularly. They are very playful so I make sure I have many toys for them so they can stay active and happy. I always have string toys and toys with bells in them for them because they are their favorites. I engage with them during play time and I always make sure they are having fun.

“She is so sweet and wonderful, and I just just tell Judge absolutely loves his time with her. He always looks comfortable and happy in every photo she sends me, and she will send a lot of them. Judge is reactive and she worked well with him. Would highly highly recommend using her!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I cared for my neighbors dogs when they were out and always loved to play with them and any other dog or cat. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll be able to care for your pet/s when you need it. I can walk your pet, take them to the dog park, or play with them in your home getting all their much needed exercise. While in my clients home, I will care for their pets with love and affection, and will always be respectful to their homes as well.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and being around them fills me with joy! I’ve had four family dogs & several cats over the years, many of which have now crossed the rainbow bridge and I find myself lucky to have spent their few years of life with them. That being said, I know how special the bond is with a fur-baby, and I treat each one I meet like my own :) I’ve also had the privilege of caring for pets through overnight/extended stays and drop-ins for neighbors, friends, family, and many others who heard about me from those close connections. Whether your furbaby is high-energy, needs medication, or just wants a cuddle buddy, I’m comfortable meeting them where they’re at, no matter their training experience. I’d consider it a true honor to care for your pet(s) and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! My schedule is flexible and can vary weekly, when I accept a request I do my best to fit my schedule to ensure I have an adequate amount of time to spend hanging out with your furbabie(s)! When it comes to caring for your animals in your home I am totally open to following whatever guidelines you are most comfortable with! I have experience with crating pups even if they’re new to it, walking, bathing, administering medication, and more. I also will water plants, bring in mail, and other small household duties when I drop-in at your place.

“Came to meet our dog beforehand allowing smooth walk day of.”

About: Hi! My name is Emma, I’m 25 years old and I have a lot of experience with almost every type of animal. Especially dogs! Ive worked as a groomer and counselor at Camp Bow Wow, a daycare and boarding facility for dogs. So I have experience with all age ranges and breeds of dogs. I also worked on an exotic farm that had lots of animals from bunnies and farm animals to baby kangaroos and macaws. I personally own a 6 and 3 year old cat, and a 10 year old border collie who’s very active, so I understand a dog that needs lots of excercise! I’ve also had pets like a leopard gecko, Guinea pigs, rats, and absolutely love birds! I work 9-4 Monday through Friday but I’m always up early. I could come check on your fur babies in the morning, then more quality and excercise/play time in the afternoon after work. My weekends are completely open. We are outside a lot! My border collie is 10 but he could still play all day! He is typically playing fetch, catching bubbles, or playing in the sprinkler while I work on the garden. They get fresh water, dry food throughout the day, and wet dinner at night so I understand routines and feeding times.

“Tennille is great! My pup liked her right away and she sent me pictures and an update. It was a big weight off my mind to know my dog was getting a nice break when I had a long day away.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I spend my days supervising, playing with, and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. This experience has given me strong skills in understanding dog behavior, maintaining safe group environments, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, training levels, abilities, and dietary needs. I’m comfortable caring for high-energy puppies, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, and everything in between. Working in daycare has also taught me how to read body language, manage different temperaments, and provide individualized attention to each dog. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and happy while giving owners peace of mind that their dog is in good hands. I treat every dog like they are my own and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time and am an MSU senior and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for visits, walks, and sitting during weekdays after work and have more open availability on weekends. Since I already spend much of my time around animals through my job, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and easily incorporate into my day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have so I can provide consistent and attentive care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and house rules. I pay close attention to animal behavior and make sure pets are always in a safe and calm environment. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.

About: I have been on rover for almost 3 years now, I have experience in all care fields (child, adult, and animal), and am also a licensed massage therapist. I have 6 adorable Pugbulls and one cat.I've cared for fish, cats, and dogs. In a 30min time block I can usually walk a little over a mile with a dog, even if they want to stop and sniff around a bit. I love all animals and am always willing to look after new types of animals! Unfortunately I’m not currently taking on new weekly walks, I will update this should that change. Currently my schedule is very flexible and open during the whole week. Should that schedule change I will update this description and let any clients I’m working with know. I have a very flexible work schedule as a massage therapist, if a day isn’t available I will have it updated as unavailable on my rover calendar. I always make sure to allow all pets to come to me at their own pace without making them feel like I’m invading their personal space. This helps them be comfortable with me quickly and feel safe in their home.
