About: I've been around cats my entire life and currently share my home with two cats, Oscar Wilde and Dorian Gray. Growing up, cats were always part of the family. One of my most memorable experiences was helping care for a mother cat and her seven kittens after we rescued them from my grandmother's farm. Since then, I've cared for many cats with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. In addition to caring for cats, I've looked after dogs for friends and family, ranging from small Yorkiepoos to large German Shepherds. My experience includes walking dogs, providing daily care, staying in owners' homes for extended periods, and taking dogs on hikes and outdoor adventures to keep them active and engaged. I believe pets thrive with a balance of affection, play, consistency, and structure. Every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently finishing my degree and preparing to start my professional career, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Outside of school, I help care for my nephews once a week and play volleyball a few times each week. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, and I'm happy to work with each client's schedule to ensure their pets receive the care, companionship, and routine they're used to while their owners are away. While I am unable to host pets in my home due to HOA restrictions, I am happy to care for pets in their own home where they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. When house sitting, I make it a priority to follow each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, playtime, and any household rules. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I also provide updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. In addition to pet care, I am happy to help with basic house-sitting tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash, and helping maintain the home while you're away.

About: I have 9 years of experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. I walked my neighbors dogs for 8 of those years and have had my own dog since, who I trained myself. I have always enjoyed spending time with my furry friends and will treat them like my own! I am in school full time during the day and have a part-time job Monday, Wednesday, Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I am available Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night while also having a few hours during the day for a possible potty break! I have always believed in slow introductions and building trust with animals. I love spending time with animals and will work to make their experience with a new sitter enjoyable. I am available for dog walking, potty breaks and house sitting. With that being said, I will leave the house cleaner than when I got there!

“Our pups absolutely love her! Marissa bonded right away and spent a lot of time with them. She was also very flexible when our schedule kept changing! We highly recommend her services!”

About: I’ve been an avid lover of animals my whole life! As I got older I became more passionate about giving pets all the love and care they deserve! I’ve worked with hyper puppies, sassy teens, and calm seniors! Currently I have a very spoiled chiweenie, two cats, a ferret and a frog! I’ll take care of your pet as if they’re my own. I currently have a part time job with flexible hours so Im often able to adjust based on your needs. I’m available for drop in visits and dog walking! Im able to adjust according to your pets needs. Staying hyper vigilant on walks and making sure your pet is secure and safe before leaving the home are my biggest priorities. Any special instructions will be easily followed such as, getting them settled in a crate, checking gates and fences, or making sure harmful items are out of reach. I want to build trust with your pets but also you!

“We had a great experience with Stephanie. Very communicative, sent lots of pictures and over all took great care of our dog. We already rebooked ?”

About: I’ve raised dogs my whole life and have experience with many different breeds and sizes. I also have experience taking care of cats and other animals. I currently have morning and night availability for walks and drop in visits. I am a passionate animal caretaker who will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am very passionate about giving your pets the best care I can. I bring a dog water bowl, cleaned thoroughly after each walk to ensure you dog stays hydrated.

“Ryan is awesome. He was so good to our Newfie. We will definitely be using him again.”

“Tori was able to squeeze in my very short notice appointment, she followed every instruction provided and most importantly used the 30ft leash provided so my dog could go to his favorite place to run laps! Couldn’t be happier and would recommend her to anyone looking for reliability! I will be using her again!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.

“Dana was very responsive and quick to respond to my request, which I appreciated. She sent a video and pictures from her visit with Lucy. I could tell that Lucy loved her. I would highly recommend Dana.”

About: Hi I’m Julie! I absolutely adore dogs and would love to care for yours! I love all kinds, no preferences at all. I’ve cared for my owns dogs basically since I was born and have been dog sitting many different dogs for years. I believe it’s one of the best jobs because it doesn’t feel like work at all. I’m very patient and caring. I also love playing with any active dogs but also love just chilling with more inactive or senior dogs. I’ve got an excellent house and neighborhood to walk or host dogs, with a big yard with lots of running space. The neighborhood is safe and scenic with very little traffic. To work with you and your dogs would be such a pleasure!

“Miles was attentive and dependable, and my somewhat standoffish cats warmed up to him after a day. It was great to get daily photos and see how they were doing.”

About: My very friendly little dog and I would love to host your dog here with us, up to 40 pounds only though...Or if your pal would benefit from a playmate, we would love to come sit for you! Well first off, I've been trusted with the care of many precious pets for years now...And enjoy it very much...I am fun, caring, and engaging, as well as all ble's, reliable, dependable, and responsible! And I took a CPR pet course, and human one as well. I have had cats mostly all my life, and now own a small dog of my own, who as I stated earlier, could, or doesn't have to if need be, come with me, as some love to have a playmate for their pet...And I know my friendly little guy very much enjoys the visit. But with anyone coming to my home, my guy will be there too, and they must all be friendly, and then we have nothing but a good time. Which brings me to, I can watch any animal, esp in the animals home and of any size...It is my home that, as also mentioned above, I would only be able to take in a small or medium sized dog, cat, or caged pet. And my home, that I live in with just my little guy, is pretty open and spacious for dogs to move around, and I have fenced in my backyard just off the back door porch for even more run around fun. And now onto my prices, I had to do additions a certian way on here...As to plus a cat if I'm also coming to care for your dog...But I can always modify and give a discount if say you have many plus one cats in your home so it doesn't keep plus one'ing a fee...Or if you have wonderfully easy small dogs, I would not keep plus one'ing for those and would find a nice set fee, and especially if my little guy could also come enjoy them, or they could come spend the time with us...It's the large ones that can be more of a handful and take a bit more doing often times, that I have to have it set that way for. And I did just recently up my prices some as I've noticed that Rover charges per night and I am not loving that, I always on my own charge per day, so I up'd my prices some to reflect that. But have noticed that I am still under many, esp when it comes to multiple pets, and so that is good. So you can always send me a msg and we can discuss any and all options. I can often work staying elsewhere into my routine, even if many miles away...Pop ins as well can be worked in more easily than not...Esp when it's on the way to work or right near work...And my work schedule often varies and can be shifted if need be. I put a certain radius...But I have stayed in homes miles and miles away, out of state even, just ask if it's doable, it very well may be! But for pop ins and walks, I would prefer to travel within 10 miles or so from my home only. So I did just update this for a 45 miles out, but obviously I cannot be doing a pop in or daily walk so far away. I care for pets in my home or their home the same way I care for my pet in his home...With the added, well, additions that your pet may need. My home is often more foolproof safe...Such as I have an indoor fenced area around my front door...And I do sometimes bring something similar with me to others homes...I prefer to be (overly) safe than sorry.

“Liz was great with my cat. He is normally very shy around strangers, but she was able to connect with him. Liz was very patient and communicated well.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have cared for my neighbors’ dogs for over 6 years. I also frequently volunteer at my local animal shelter, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved. I work part-time so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice long walk! Mornings usually work best for me during the week and I have some availability on the weekends! I have tons of experience walking dogs and always keep caution around busy streets and other dogs. I strive to make sure the pup has a great walking experience!

“Carolyn was great with my cat Lucy!”
