“Bridget has done a great job with Winnie! She’s always on time, respectful of my home and attentive to Winnie and her needs (has even tried some training with her during her walks!).”


“Lilian was great with our cats! She took amazing photos and cared for them like they were her own. She even played with them and got action shots!! She is a fantastic pet sitter and we would recommend her without reservation!! ~Rhonda & Mike”



“We love Erinn! She has cared for my dog Oliver a few weekends now, and he is the only “stranger” he allows to get near him. She formed a bond with him and makes him comfortable while I have to be away. Very grateful for her!”


“Nicole was great. She stopped by twice a day to take care of my two large breed dogs. She was great with my dogs especially my one who tends to be a bit of a jumper. She handled them well and took great care of them and spent time playing ball with them to waste energy. I would recommend Nicole and would use again.”


About: I have experience both cat sitting and dog sitting for owners who have been out of town for extended periods of time. I have also cared for my family dog and own personal cat! I am currently working full time, so I am available for morning and/or evening care, overnight stays as well as weekend care! I currently cannot offer care in my own home because of my own pet. I offer in-home stays and visits so your pet can be comfortable in their own environment! I am knowledgeable about animals and attentive to their needs. I have experience caring for animals with unique needs, such as my family dog, who has high anxiety that influences her behavior. I love to play with pets and will always make sure they receive adequate attention based on their needs.

About: I have been proud to be a shih tzu owner for 3 years with my family. I have also been pet sitting and walking since I was 12 I walk and feed my dog on a daily basis. I also play with him during my free time and weather permitting, take him to the dog park I currently live in an apartment while occasionally staying at my parents house. I make sure to give them the care they need and show them how much they are loved.

I'm new to Rover but use it for my dog and figured i’d also be a sitter! i’ve mainly cared for my own or my friend's dogs either in their home or mine and we always have a blast! i’ve taken many courses on dog behavior and My pup is actually trained for therapy, service and he’s a Canine good citizen! ( a 6 year old 22 lb Cockapoo who is super sweet) I consider dogs as members of the family, and know they have their own unique personalities + special needs! looking forward to hanging with your pup while you're busy doing Human things! I work from home fulltime so your dog won’t be alone! my schedule is super flexible too and would revolve around your dogs schedule :) i live in a two story house. no fence in my backyard so we would go for leashed walks. My dog sleeps with me in my room on his bed. your dog can sleep with us in their bed/crate. your preference

About: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)

About: Hello! I'm a life-long animal lover and senior doggie mom. I have over 25 years of dog ownership experience and am comfortable with all breeds. I live in a spacious apartment 1 block away from a dog-friendly park. My building has a elevator to help accommodate guests with varied levels of energy and abilities. The majority of the apartment is hard wood flooring so shedding and minor accidents are okay if someone's a bit nervous, but please house-broken guests only. Looking forward to meeting you!! I work full time (remotely) and have a dog of my own, but I love animals and am happy to make time for them in my schedule. I care for others’ fur babies as if they were my own.

About: I have had pets (mostly dogs with some rabbits, frogs, and turtles) for over 20 years and my life is always connected with dogs in some way. I will love your dogs as if they are my children. Seeing a happy dog warms my heart. My house is well equipped for dogs: large open spaces to run and play indoors, a fenced back yard, and several parks around the area where I used to take my dogs. I am available throughout the week. I wake up very early and can take your dog out at least 3 times a day. I hope to make your dog as happy as I can. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I'm available for taking care your pet on weekends and major holidays. Please feel free to contact me weeks ahead if you need weekdays' care. I have a fenced yard and large space indoor for your pet; I can easily crate your dog if needed; your pet's safety is very important.

About: As a dog mom myself, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone else. What sets me apart is the way I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and attention to the little things that make them feel safe and happy. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments, and I’m especially good with shy or anxious pups who need extra TLC. I’m currently a student and off for the summer, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m around and fully committed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and at home. I give lots of attention, cuddles (if they enjoy that!), and keep their space clean and stress-free.

With a spacious and secure fenced yard, your pet will have plenty of room to play and exercise. My two resident dogs are friendly and social, ensuring your pet will have companionship during their stay. For added convenience, our home features a doggie door, allowing easy access to the yard.

Susanna W.
“Susanna is a wonderful individual who loves and cares for all pets that she encounters. Susanna was my previous roommate and together we adopted a 6 year-old cat together. Throughout our time living together with our cat, she was an amazing 'co-parent'. Susanna always made sure that our cat was fed, provided with water, had a clean litter box, and loved her. Susanna made sure to schedule vet appointments, attend appointments, and paid pet bills to ensure that our cat was cared for. Susanna also has a family dog of her own and she absolutely adores her. When living together, Susanna would make daily calls to her family and check in on her dog. Also, when her parents/family went away on vacation, Susanna would care for her dog during this time. She was a great caretaker and went above and beyond to make sure that her dog went on many walks, had lots of cuddles and love, and was well fed. I highly recommend Susanna as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She would be an incredible caretaker for any and every family and furry friend!!”
