“I highly recommend Melissa! This is my first time using the Rover service for Carhartt, my golden retriever. He’s a high energy puppy that needs attention. Melissa is the one I trust to stop by, take him out for a quick walk, and enjoy a few minutes with him giving him love and treats. I’ve noticed a change in his energy, eating habits and bathroom (all wicked positive). The photos and Rover cards truly give you the insight on how the visits are going. Melissa is friendly, caring, punctual and communicative. Again, I highly recommend Melissa to be the person who stops by and loves on your pup.”

“This is my second time booking with Alison, and my cat Edgar seems to love Alison when she checks on him! She does a great job of providing updates and staying in communication. Can’t recommend her enough to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

“This was our second time booking with Emily and she’s fantastic! I’m a paranoid dog mom and always get nervous leaving them but I love the updates throughout the day from Emily. And my dogs and kitties love her so it’s a win-win all around!”

About: From growing up with dogs to training my first puppy (not a certified trainer), dogs are best friends & family members. I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you are out on vacation, at a gathering, or at work. I work full time hours Monday through Friday. Typically free weekday mornings before 7:30AM, weekday evenings (at 4pm) and weekends all day. Weekends I’m typically out accompanying my dog while he lives his best life. It’s a dog’s world ! My dog is on a strict diet, takes medications and requires lots of exercise. I don’t mind walking, playing, feeding or administering medications to our friends. I have experience with dogs with various energy types and temperaments. I care and treat every dog like they are my own. Willing to send pictures of your dog(s) enjoying their best life !
“We love, Kim! Thank you for always taking such great care of our 4 fur babies. Anytime we go away we know our home and sweet babies will be in great hands.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have fallen in love with each different personality that they all have. As a kid i had two dogs, and now I have 3 bunnies as well. Raising my baby girl has been one of my favorite things in life. I love animals with my whole heart, and would treat any ones baby the way i would treat my own I take care of my bunny, including feeding her multiple times a day, and cleaning her cage, as well as letting her run around my room, and outside. Of course giving her infinite kisses and hugs I care for all pets in the way that they feel comfortable. I know each baby is different, and will make sure to make them feel loved the way that they want. I will make sure to take good care of each and every one of that, and make them feel safe with me
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs varying in ages. I understand how important a routine and safety is for both a pet and their parent. Whether it’s taking them out on a walk, giving them medications, or even just keeping them company, I’m here for all. I’m currently unemployed, almost off to college so I’m free basically everyday! I’m open to back-to-back scheduling if that is what you need. We can make anything work. I respect the space and follow instructions easily to keep things clean and secure. I take safety very seriously, whether it’s checking to make sure doors are locked or food and medications are out of reach for the pet.
About: What sets me apart is my energy, reliability, and heart! As a marathon runner, I can keep up with even the most energetic pups and provide long, engaging walks or runs and active play—perfect for high-energy dogs. As a teacher and coach, I’m incredibly patient, organized, and how to adapt to different needs—which helps me handle everything from playful puppies to older pets who need extra care and attention. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family with someone. I’ll love and care for them like they’re my own! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! As a teacher and track coach, I have a structured schedule that allows me to plan ahead and give pets the attention they deserve. I’m an early riser thanks to marathon training, so morning feedings, walks, or playtime are easy for me to fit in. My evenings and weekends are often open, giving me plenty of time for drop-ins, snuggles, or longer visits. Any holiday break or extended weekend is often open as well! The summers are WIDE open since school is closed. I already care for my own two dogs and a cat, so adding more furry friends into my week is something I truly enjoy! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. In my home, pets have a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles—plus two friendly dogs and a cat who love company. I maintain their routines as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and follow all instructions closely. I make sure your pet feels comfortable, whether that means lots of play or giving them space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry friend is doing!
“Toni was such a great match for the drop in services I needed for my 2 cats. She went above and beyond to stay and play with my boys and sent so many great photos and videos. I felt at ease knowing they were taken care of and given attention while I was away. I look forward to having Toni help out again!”

About: ABOUT ME: Hi there, I'm Cassidy! I'm 29 years old, I work with computers, and I love animals :) MY PETS: I currently have four dogs and one cat of my own - two 14-year old Mini Australian Shepherd littermates, two 2-year old Border Collie littermates, and one mystery cat that literally wandered into my life on a random Tuesday afternoon. My dogs are all high energy, intelligent dogs that require daily exercise & entertainment. Our favorite activities to do together are going to the dog park to see our friends, going for walks, chasing squirrels and bunnies, barking at the mailman, and going for car rides. We even love going in our cages for (supervised) alone time with lick mats and chewable treats! My cat is a chill guy who doesn't have a mean bone in his body. His favorite activities are screaming for food and basking in the sun. He has quite the personality and has taught me so much about caring for cats! MY EXPERIENCE: I have about 6 years of dog mom experience and 1 year of cat mom experience under my belt. Most of my dog experience is with puppies and with small and medium dogs, but I do have some experience with large dogs. I have cared for senior dogs, dogs with special needs/dietary restrictions, dogs on medicine, injured dogs, and dogs who are toy or food possessive. I even have experience with table-jumpers and food-stealers! While I currently have 5 pets of my own, I have cared for up to 7 at once. I have family & friends who have trusted me to board their dogs in my home for a few days at a time. I would love to offer in-home boarding services, but unfortunately my pups are protective over their family and they do not like having "strangers" in their home. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals in a stranger's hands - a million questions will be running through your head. Will my pet like them? Will they take good care of my pet? Will they give my pet the right amount of food? Will they take my pet on a walk? Will they take my pet outside to go potty? Will they pat my pet 5 times on the head and give them 10 belly rubs at precisely 11:35am? Will they do that funny dance I taught them when it's dinner time? YES - I'll do it all! My goal is to do exactly what you need in the time I am caring for your animal. I care for all animals as if they were my own. I will strive to keep your pets safe & comfortable, meet their needs, train them if needed, spoil them (just a little bit!), and become someone they look forward to seeing! I work a full time job M-F from 7am-4pm and thus cannot offer care during these times. I am able to provide some care on weekday afternoons. I am able to provide more care on weekends. At this time I am not able to bring your pet into my home. However, when I am in your home, I will prioritize the safety and care of your pet. I will care for your animals and your home as if they were my own.
“Brittany took great care of our Roxy. She updated us at each visit with cute pictures and little messages. I felt very comfortable with Brittany in my home and I will definitely look for her services in the future.”

About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I am a little new to pet care but I am eager to get started! I have had dogs my whole life and have always helped out with them. I have pet sat a few times and administered medication. I currently have a 5 year old Labrador Retriever and watch my friends dogs a lot. I enjoy taking them to the beach and to the dog park very frequently. I have always been an animal lover. Any animal, any size! Though I don't yet have any professional experience, I hope to gain some. I did work at a pet store while I was in high school and learned a lot about pet health and caring for ill animals. I hope to be able to engage with your animals and build a relationship with them as well as you! Thank you! I’m currently working full time as a bartender. I typically work 3pm-11pm but my schedule does vary week to week. I can be pretty flexible with hours when necessary. I have a dog of my own that I take on walks or to the park every day! I do live in an apartment so I take my dog on walks daily or we will go to the dog park or on a trail nearby!
About: I have had animals since I was a little girl. From mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats- I’ve taken care of them all! Last year I took in my mom’s dog since she moved and couldn’t take her along, so technically this is my first time owning a dog (on my own), but there has always been either a dog or a cat in my home growing up, so I have dealt with it all- accidents, anxiousness, and everything in between. I have also been able to teach my dog some new basic tricks, despite her being 13! I am very patient, determined, and caring. I currently work full time, 2nd shift 3p-11:30pm, so I am available M-F up until 2pm when I need to start getting ready for work. I wake up early and take my dog out right away, then again in about 3ish hours, and then right before I leave for work to ensure that I don’t come home to an accident, and then she potties and eats dinner when I get home. On the weekends, I’m home probably 90% of the time, so we go to the museum, dog park, and for the most part, she runs all of my errands with me! Despite me living in an apartment, I do still have a yard in the front and the back of the building, so if my dog (or yours) isn’t feeling up for a walk (or the weather isn’t great) there is still grass for them to go to the bathroom. I do not mind about my dog being on my furniture- it’s her house too! That is how it would be for your pet too! I also have a small balcony, where me and her sit and hang out for some fresh air.
“Samantha was respectful, followed instructions well and made sure my sweet girl was taken care of and shown affection. She even helped bring all of my delivered packages inside. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teen. I have babysat, walked, and fed dogs from small to large for neighbors, family, and friends. I currently work Monday- Thursday as a registered nurse so I have availability some Friday’s and weekends. There will be some weekends I will be away. I can walk your dog, feed, crate if necessary. I have my own large dog and am very comfortable with care of dogs of any size.
