About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.

About: I distinguish myself as an animal sitter through my early experience rescuing a troubled dog, transforming her into the sweetest companion through patience and training. I specialize in teaching basic skills, as well as fun activities like hide and seek and speak. Additionally, I'm well-versed in providing specialized care, such as frequent ear care and brushing and endless belly rubs. I also have experience caring for puppies, I understand their need for frequent bathroom trips and getting out their random bursts of energy. I work full time the best times for me are: Monday-Thursday before 8:30am and after 4:00pm. Fridays I can be more flexible. Weekends work well anytime :) My priority is always to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. During walks, I would use the owner’s preferred leash and harness, stay alert to our surroundings, and follow their instructions regarding routes, routines, and interactions with other animals. When caring for pets in their home, I would respect their familiar routines, ensure doors and gates are securely closed, keep food and potentially harmful items out of reach, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I would also send regular updates and photos to pet owners so they can feel confident knowing their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I started dog walking in college, which naturally expanded to sitting. Other than the feeling of getting my degree, taking care of those sweet pets made my experience so pleasant. Community members have trusted me to not only make sure their pets are properly looked after, but that they make a new friend too. Befriending new animals is why I love this job! I have recently completed an MFA in Stage Management at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale and, now have plenty of time to take pups on walks or do sittings. I'm generally free most afternoons and evenings, with occasional morning availability. I am very attentive to a pet's needs, and will make sure to give them the love they want (and know when to back off if they'd rather be alone). Unfortunately I am not currently offering boarding for furry friends. Before visits/sitting I'd prefer to meet beforehand, to get used to the space and aquainted with the pet's routine.

About: I have taken care of dogs from a young age, I started dog sitting at the age of 12 for family friends. Recently I got a dog myself that is a Havanese puddle, her name is Lily and I adore her and miss her so much since she is back home. I have always had dogs as a part of my life and want to continue this by helping people with their own dogs here. Pet care fits into my schedule either weekly or daily depending on what is being asked. On Mondays, I can help after 2 pm. As for Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am pretty busy. But on Wednesdays and Fridays I have a really flexible schedule. At home, I care for my dog by walking, feeding, grooming, and playing with her as much as possible. I think it is very important to make sure that dogs have long walks and have amplitudes of playing time, which I think I am able to do with my own dog.

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for about 5 years, in addition to caring for cats and dogs my whole life. I focus on aligning your pet’s care to your standards and routines, and of course giving them all my love. My most recent kitty clients have been drop ins off of Rover. Currently I live with 2 cats, and I frequently take over their care when my roommate is out of town. From the ages of 11-18 I took responsibility to care for 4 cats and 1 hyper husky. These days, I don’t have my own furry friend. Let me give yours all the love I have! I work from home full-time with an adjustable schedule! We can easily coordinate something that works best for both of us, with your pet’s care at the forefront. For home visits, I will work directly with you to create standards that best serve your furry friend. I follow care instructions precisely and also make sure to spend abundant time playing or simply giving your pet company!

About: I’m very patient with pets. I’ve cared for different types of dogs and sizes since 9 years old including some puppy and potty training, and even washing the pet if needed also I’m pretty timely, caring, understanding, I follow well with any instructions provided to leave you and your pet happy and calm and your pet will have enough backyard space to play around or play indoors. I use this as part time work and usually leave out two days for personal reasons but I am also quite flexible if advised beforehand I have a dog gate inside my house if needed, as well as no harmful products near by . Also I have family members who love dogs and will give plenty of love and attention to your pet so they feel cared for. My backyard has a huge dog cage just in case for separation if anything. Lastly I currently have no pets so no jealously will happen.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my commitment to providing personalized, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. Along with providing updates and being prepared for an emergency situation. I am currently in college with a relatively flexible schedule as of right now. I have mid morning class that are no longer then 2-3 hours. I play softball but will schedule accordingly based on offers. I am able to abide to a routine the pet has and will prepare myself to ensure all the pets needs are meet. I will make sure the pets comfort hygiene and safety comes first!

About: I've been pet-sitting for over ten years. I've sat for heaps of homes with various pets including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, bunnies, and even joeys! The majority of my housesits have been for households with multiple dogs of varying breeds and needs. I've cared for elderly dogs with mobility and vision impairments, reactive/anxious pups, large and small breeds with ranging energy levels. I'm experienced providing walks/play, administering medication, giving baths and brushes, prepping meals, and obviously providing all the love and attention (as is fit based on the individual pet's personality). In addition to housesits, I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering pups in South Korea, volunteering with dog and cat rescues abroad, and doing drop-in animal care visits. My focus when sitting is assuring pets feel safe and loved while away from their loved ones. I understand separation can be difficult for both pets and owners. I'm keen to provide regular updates and photos of desired, and make time apart as cruisy and comfortable as possible. I am flexible with availability. I'm currently living at home with heaps of free-time, so I'm open to working with a schedule that'd work best for you whether it be full time, part time, or a one time position. I provide compassionate care suited to each individual pet. I'm happy to learn about your dog's likes and needs, and keen to send updates during visits.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I take the time to learn their individual personality, routines, and needs rather than treating every pet the same. I’m patient, attentive, comfortable with both cats and dogs, and experienced with keeping pets on their usual feeding, play, and potty schedules. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work part-time, typically between 10 AM and 6 PM, which gives me flexibility before and after work for pet care. I’m able to plan visits around my work schedule and provide consistency. In my home I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home. For dogs, I have a fenced in backyard where they can safely play, run around, and get some fresh air. For cats, I have a cat tree, cat beds, and plenty of toys for enrichment and stimulation. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine and care instructions as closely as possible, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own space.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for pets and believe they thrive with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. As an athlete who enjoys fitness, health, and spending time outdoors, I love bringing that active lifestyle into pet care! Whether that means going for walks, playing outside, getting some extra exercise, or simply relaxing and giving your pet plenty of love. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to keep their day as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so communication and reliability are priorities for me. Whether your pet is energetic and always ready for an adventure or prefers a cozy day filled with cuddles, I’d love the opportunity to care for them like they’re my own! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have consistent availability on weekdays before 5 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. I’ll provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, exercise, medications, and any other specific needs. I’ll also make sure your home is treated with care and respect while I’m there.

About: I've raised and cared for several breeds of dogs, large and small for about 20 years. I am a true dog lover and I believe its important to connect with them. I am very attentive to their needs. Body rubs and ear scratches are unlimited. I have experience with special needs pups as well. I do have experience giving medications if needed. I once was a volunteer and foster parent with Yorkie 911 Rescue. I also have experience with very shy dogs and I have extreme patience. My home is quiet during most of the day for those pups who need total relaxation or for those senior pups who just prefers quiet. I also have experience grooming small dogs up to 15 pounds. Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and can provide consistent supervision throughout the day. I can structure my day around the dogs’ needs, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, rest periods, and plenty of attention. I am comfortable maintaining a regular schedule and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can also provide additional supervision and care throughout the week based on each dog’s individual needs and routine. My balcony is a clean, secure, and dog-friendly space where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. It includes a designated potty area, enclosed with strong netting with chicken wire. along with comfortable cots and lounging furniture where dogs can relax, have fresh air and sun bathe, The balcony is located directly outside my home office, where I work, allowing me to keep a close eye on the dogs throughout the day. Dogs are never left unattended on the balcony. I also have cameras throughout the apartment for additional monitoring and pet gates closing off forbidden areas. The space is kept clean, organized, and free of hazards, providing small/medium dogs with a comfortable and secure area to relax, play, and get some fresh air.

Grace was wonderful with Kali while we were away! Kali is 12 years old, so it was important to us that she was with someone she felt comfortable and relaxed around. It was obvious that Kali felt completely at ease with Grace, which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. We were very pleased with the entire experience and would absolutely trust Grace to care for Kali again. Highly recommend!
