“We have 100% confidence in the care Larissa takes with our dogs. She treats them like the individuals they are, and they quickly fell in love with her. She's sensitive to our more reactive dog's needs, and it's obvious that she is solely focused on the dogs during their walks. The reports after every walk are a great touch.”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud dog mom of Bella Rose, my rescued miniature dachshund. Caring for Bella has taught me how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are, especially with shy or nervous dogs. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat Bella. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, comfort levels, and all the little details that help animals feel safe. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddling, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m also an English student and writer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine, one-on-one attention. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m an online English student and writer, so my schedule is flexible and I spend most of my time at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I already plan my days around caring for my own dog, Bella, so making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved is a normal part of my everyday life. I follow each pet’s normal routine and all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, double-check doors and leashes, and never leave them outside unattended. In my home, I introduce pets to Bella slowly and carefully, and I can give them separate spaces when needed. I keep my apartment calm, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of attention and rest time. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Lauren has been wonderful with Ike. She is very responsive, communicates clearly, and is always patient with him. Since Ike is a shy boy, I really appreciate the time and effort she puts into helping him feel comfortable. With each visit, Ike has become more relaxed and confident around her, which speaks volumes about her caring and gentle approach. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was a kid. I've had dogs my whole life and worked with crazy puppies to senior dogs who need help getting around or require medication. I've pet sat dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, etc. I am currently working at a greenhouse so I am typically unavailable this time of year M-F 7am-5:30pm but am more than willing to pop in after work or on the weekends! I cannot board any pets in my home due to apartment living. Unfortunately I cannot board pets in my home, but I can stop in and hang out with your furry friend(s) throughout the day and play!
About: Hello, my name is Jaime. I’ve been a lifelong dog and cat owner looking to care for your pets in your home. I am self-employed, and I’ve been a dog owner for the last 30 years. I currently do not have any pets of my own in my home. Looking forward to meeting you and helping with your pets! I can work with most schedules and I am available any day of the week for short or extended bookings. I have experience with all ages from pups/kittens to elderly dogs and cats. I have experience with administering medications and supplements, as well as assisting with pets with mobility challenges. I primarily watch your fur babies at your home so they can be in their own comfortable environment. Could discuss boarding at my place as an option if preferred.
About: I understand how some animals need special care. I have a 14 year old cat that has an autoimmune disease. When he is fed, there is a detailed list of thing’s that must go into his food. I have also cared for a senior cat that needed to eat at very specific times because he was so thin. Every animal is different and as owners we know what they need to have their best life. I do my best to treat each pet just as their owners treat them. I work part time right now and the only days I am not completely available are Tuesdays and Thursday. I can care for your pet Monday and Wednesday anytime and Friday through Sundays anytime if your animals are alright with children because I have a 9 year old son. I won’t be able to bring your pet to my home because I have multiple cats that would be disturbed. I however can care for them at your house.
About: Experience with dogs of various sizes. Volunteered with two dog adoption agencies and have fostered 3 dogs in the past that have all been adopted. My current dog is a happy foster fail! I work from home 2 days of the week, but can be flexible based on your need. I'm regularly active, so dog walks are always welcome! I have two crates and plenty of beds for your pet to feel comfortable. I have an outdoor patio in case your dog wants some fresh air as well as plenty of walking space around my neighborhood.
About: Hi! I’m TJ (they/he) Since joining Rover in 2022, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, multi-pet households, and even a bearded dragon. I also have two cats of my own and regularly care for 3 dogs and 4 cats during the week, so pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. Through my experience, I’ve developed a thoughtful and adaptable approach to caring for pets with different personalities, comfort levels, and energy levels. Whether that means keeping up with feeding routines, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, treats, or helping a pet settle down and feel comfortable, I always try to adjust my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience with overnight stays and caring for both dogs and cats in the same home. I pay close attention to behavior and routine, keep the environment clean and low-stress, and communicate with owners if anything comes up so I can care for their pets the way they prefer. I do work late nights most of the week, but I strive to keep my schedule as flexible as possible :) I approach every booking with the same care and dedication I’d want for my own pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Please note that while my legal name appears on my profile, I prefer to go by TJ. I’m excited to meet your pets and provide them with personalized, dependable care! I always make sure to spend as much time with my pets as possible and take care of their needs to let them know they are loved:) I have two cats of my own, so I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and secure in their environment. Caring for them is part of my everyday routine, from feeding and fresh water to litter box care, attention, and making sure they feel at ease in their space. I’ve also been regularly caring for 3 dogs and 4 cats during the week since July 2025, so I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine carefully and providing dependable, attentive care while their owners are away.
About: I freaking LOVE dogs. And they love me! I’m very patient, playful, caring and alert. We love having fun together— we both get the zoomies! Dogs tend to listen to and respect me easily. I help them to feel safe by making boundaries clear. I have a lot of experience noticing any indicators if something is off, administering meds, and continuing their existing training. I just love being their buddy! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Having a chance to take a walk or spend time with a pet is a great chance for me to clear my mind and get outside. I try to stick a schedule that a pet is accustomed to whenever possible. I get to know their personality and see how I can help them have a good time, and feel safe and comfortable when we’re together. I’m very attentive to their behavior and mood.
About: I've been around dogs, cats, and some level of farm animals for most of my life, pet sitting as a service is new for me, although I have extensive practice in animal care. Simply put, I've taken care of animals long enough to know that mane and tail is an amazing conditioner and shampoo combo. I am currently seeking employment and searching for work with services such as rover, my schedule fluctuates however I would consider myself on call, Monday to Sunday any time unless otherwise specified, im here for you and your pets. Our home is a finely tuned balance of two cats and two huskies, I have worked extensively to care for and train both animals to live harmoniously together. My goal is to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and preferably sleepy by the time your best friends are back in your arms, for the huskies we often walk them anywhere from 3 to 5 miles, and upwards of 10 miles on some days on safe, pre walked and inspected routes to ensure your pets saftey
