“John, has come in clutch a number of times when we’ve had last minute plans (which is often for my family). He provides great updates and images that allow us to see how well he’s taking care of Marley!”
About: With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and professional pet care, I bring a unique level of expertise, reliability, and compassion to every pet I serve. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with veterinarians and veterinary technicians, providing trusted pet sitting services for colleagues and clients alike. My extensive background ensures that your pets are in knowledgeable and capable hands at all times. I have successfully completed multiple background checks, reflecting my commitment to professionalism, integrity, and trustworthiness. I am also Fear Free Certified, which means i have advanced training in recognizing and reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in pets – allowing me to provide care that prioritizes both their physical and emotional well-being. Safety is always my top priority. I am certified in CPR fo humans, cats, and dogs, and I am highly experienced in administering a wide range of medications, including oral, injectable, transdermal, and subcutaneous treatments. Whether your pet requires routine care or more specialized medical attention, I am fully equipped to meet their needs with confidence and precision. Beyond medical care, I am dedicated to enriching your pet’s daily life. I prioritize meaningful interaction, socialization, and appropriate physical activity to ensure your pet remains happy, healthy, and engaged while you are away. Above all, I take great pride in being dependable, detail-orientated, and deeply respectful of the trust my clients place in me. I care for every pet as if they were my own, providing peace of mind and exceptional care you can rely on. I work full time at a veterinary hospital so if I'm pet-sitting your dog(s), I'll usually bring them with me to work with my dog. They have a fenced in yard where they can play during the day. If they are not social, they will just go out by themselves. If I'm watching your cat at your house, I will spend time with them around my work schedule, I will not subject them to daily trips in the car :) I have a fenced in yard and take frequent leash walks around my quiet and safe suburban neighborhood. We also love to hike if your pet is into that. Otherwise, your pet's needs dictate what I offer to them. If I'm watching them at your home, I try to stay to their schedule as much as possible.
“Ann Marie has been wonderful with our pup. She is kind, professional, and trustworthy. I feel comfortable allowing her into our home. Her updates and photos brighten my day everytime and she is very sweet to our girl.”
About: I used to have a cat when I was little then we moved so we couldn’t. I’m getting a dog now to care for now. I currently have a daughter and I wanna be able to work from home and enjoy my daughter as well. Since I like animals this is good. I will take the pets for walks, feed them, play with them and just simply nurture them. They are just like kids they need love too.
“Daniela was such a pleasure walking our Great Pyrenees, Colby!!! He gets SO excited to see her and would come back in such a good mood. She provided excellent updates each walk and always on time and highly communicative. HIGHLY recommend Daniela!”
About: We’ve always had pets at our house and cousins’ houses growing up, and as you’ve probably seen in my pictures, I always love being around animals! I’m starting a new position in a few months, and since I love animals, I thought that pet-sitting would be the perfect thing to do in the meantime! It is definitely important to make sure that the pets are taken outside often to go to the bathroom and move around with fresh air. It’s also important to read the body language of the pet- some pets need more exercise than others.
“Brian has been great with Barney and our family. Barney is a particular type of dog that needs someone who understands his personality. This Brian has done. He also has been available on short notice and keep all his appointments and has been great at communicating his future availability. As well he is very pleasant to work with. Thanks Brian!”
About: Hi I’m Shannon, have a cat right now and used to have an 105lb Golden Retriever so i’m very experienced with big and small animals! I’m home from college and i’m on break so i have a lot of free time to walk dogs at any time of any day. I care for my cat and I used to have a big Golden Retriever who I would go play with and take on many walks.
“Chelsea was great communicating and sharing updates. Our poodle was initially shy, and she was very patient and caring until he got comfortable. We’ll definitely have her check on and walk our dog again. Highly recommend her.”
“Blaise is a top-notch dog person who is very passionate about the animals he works with. Highly recommended, I had a difficult time finding the right fit for Bosco but that search ended with Blaise!”
“We originally asked Caroline if she could walk and feed our two dogs as we were planning to a long day trip. However, we woke up to find our oldest dog not doing very well. It turned out that he had cancer and that we would have to put him down. It was a long agonizing day trying of running tests and considering options before finally deciding that the most humane treatment would be to euthanize. Through all this, we are thankful to Caroline who took care of our remaining fur children--a dog and a cat. It was a great relief to not have to think or worry about them so we could focus on our oldest dog in his time of need.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since before middle school. Everyday after school growing up I’d take care of our foster animal, giving them attention, feeding/water, CLEANING (so much!), administering medication like pills or injections like insulin are things I am more than comfortable with. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare and kennel so I am experienced with working with various dog breeds and understand the needs of every dog is different, but nonetheless must be met! I am currently available at anytime during any day of the week! My schedule does not interfere with the needs of your pet and I can accommodate to you. I treat clients home as if it were my own. Leaving it as it was, caring for the pet and keeping the environment clean and homey!
About: I’m happy to help easy any anxieties regarding leaving your pets! I am incredibly responsible and have a genuine love for all pets. I have years of experience taking care of pets as well as raising my own. I am new to the Rover site but hope you will take a chance on me, I promise you & your pet will not be disappointed! I am currently a stay at home mom and have a schedule that can be easily moved around. I am happy to work with whatever needs you have concerning checking on your pets and taking them out. I will be watching and caring for pets in your own space. I am happy to travel and take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home.
“We are so grateful for Ashley taking care of our Baloo. 10/10 recommend her to everyone! She is punctual and flexible. Baloo looks forward to more walks and play time with Ashley :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old, pet sitting neighbors dogs as well as training them. Many people celebrate how well I train dogs from any age, puppies to older dogs. Old dogs can learn new tricks and I have proven that. I worked at a vet clinic during my highschool years, I know how to take care of senior dogs. If anything were to happen to the dog during my visit I was trained how to deal with it. I am available to watch your pets Sunday-Monday. I cheer sly work two jobs, a pet hotel Wednesdays and Fridays. And I work at a ABA therapy clinic Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On sundays and Mondays I will be available all day for dog walking. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be available anytime after 4pm. I have two dog friendly pups at home so I can always bring them along to pet sit so your dog(s) can have friends to play with. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and can easily provide your pets with meals if needed.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
