About: I have been a pet sitter for my friends and family for as long as I can remember and I am ready to branch out professionally. I’m a work from home medical engineer and can provide high quality services with a flexible schedule. Since I work from home my schedule is very flexible, especially in the afternoons. I can also do in-home long term pet sitting as I can be anywhere for work. I have a lovely small home in a rural part of town. Perfect for small dogs and cats, with no other pets on the property.
“Elizabeth is great! she is so responsible and kind with the animals. I greatly appreciate her willingness to work with me and my odd schedule. She sent pictures of her walks and feeding and took the time to come over the weekend to meet the animals and ensure she understood the instructions. Greatly appreciate her and will definitely use again!”
“I booked Jordan for walks with my senior dog! Jordan is highly organized and comes with great experience. She followed all specific requests and care instructions I had communicated. She took many pictures that showed my dog having a lot of fun and gave detailed write-ups after each walk. Side note: my cat was absolutely obsessed with her LOL. I highly recommend booking Jordan to meet your pets' needs!”
About: Hi there! I'm Miranda! 😁 I have owned a terrier for 15 years, as well as worked in pet-sitting for 4 years. In that time, I have cared for dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, and fish. During my college studies, I have also cared for terrapins, frogs, and snakes! As an aspiring marine biologist, I have a love for animals that is deeper than the sea. 🌊 ⭐️ Experience in feeding, engaging in play, administering medication, and walking dogs of all sizes and breeds ⭐️ Mail collection, garbage disposal, plant care, and more I'm so excited to meet you and your pet! Home all summer with flexible availability. Whether it's house-sitting or just dropping by, I'm your gal! I book fast, so don't hesitate to reach out! I'm great at following schedules and instructions as written. You'll receive quick replies and great communication. I'll even send you pics of your pup! 🐶
“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”
“Brittany has turned out to be great with Yen, my newly adopted senior dog. He is really enjoying his walks these days, even though he seemed hesitant when we first started walking. I feel very confident having Yen in Brittany's care....she is very attuned to Yen's needs.”
“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”
About: I have taken care of and owned domestic and exotic animals most of my life. Friends and family always go to me when it comes to watching their pets. I am making pet care my full time career. I will be available anytime time for feedings, walks, bathroom breaks, or even boarding animals. Anything your pet needs, I can make happen. I have a fenced in yard and doggy doors so pups can go in and out as they please. I have two of my own dogs too. (A golden and a corgi) They are extremely friendly and get along with any animal they have ever met. I have two cats and a ferret as well. They all play together and get along. They are also all fixed. If it is preferred that your pet stays away from certain pets I have, my home is big enough to accommodate any separation needs.
About: I have taken care of pets since age 10. Best part of my day is talking a walk or snuggling with a fur baby,one or yours! I just retired and am ready to do what I love most, devote my time and care to animals, whether that is walking, sitting, playing. I am attentive to the needs of the pet. If they need exercise, to be on leash, or elder and need in stroller. Safety is important
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I know that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’ve raised three dogs and currently have both a poodle and a cat. My skills include puppy training, crate training, basic command training, and managing pets with medical needs, including medication administration. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs, allergies, and maintaining breed-specific grooming standards. As a passionate pet lover, I volunteer with the Red Cross animal visitation program. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I work part-time and live 10 minutes from my house. I always check in on my pets during lunch. My husband works nights so he is home while I’m at work and we switch. I have a fenced yard, and lots of dog friendly walking areas. I have two friendly pets who do very well with other animals. I crate my dog when I leave home to safety & use cameras to check in on them.
“Alexis was so good with my big boy! He took to her immediately. ? She provided great updates on how he was doing and took great care of him. Highly recommend her to look after your fur babies! I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Sarah was, once again, AMAZING with my little fur family. Between her sweet, caring messages and the adorable pics she’d take, I knew my babies were in the best hands. She was communicative the whole time and put my mind at ease while I was away. This is my second time with Sarah and she has quickly become an integral part of any travel plans I make 100/10”
“Jessica was very organized and extremely reliable. She went over everything (and more) that we needed to touch on at our meet and greet. As walks went on, she was very communicative, and worked with me to come up with creative ideas on how to manage my dog’s significant fears. He was an abused rescue, so he is shy and gets easily scared of noises and people. I will definitely be having her walk again!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for pups of all sizes and personalities for years, and I currently have a happy, energetic 1-year-old chocolate Lab of my own. I treat every dog like family—making sure they’re safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I am currently working from home so my availability is very open. I am able to move some things around for work if I need to. I have two dogs in my home, one is a very sweet loving older dog and the other is my 1 year old chocolate lab. I have a 6 foot tall privacy fence around my big back yard so they have plenty of room to play and wonder. I still take the old man on walks, they’re just not as long these days. For my puppy, he is very high energy so long walks, lots of play time, and puppy pool time are a must! Depending on your home/routine is how I would care for your pet!
“I hired Briana to walk my dog, Gus, as I recovered from surgery. He absolutely adores her! They took a nice long walk on his favorite trail and she took the nicest pictures of him enjoying his outside time. I will be hiring her again in the future.”
“Tia is so thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves our dogs. She sends the best messages and pics, and goes above and beyond the basics (like scooping poop from our own yard and bagging it). My only complaint is that I wish Rover would allow us to give more than a 30% tip!”
About: My dad was an animal whisperer, and his passion was gifted to me. Growing up with and being educated on many animals contributed to my ability to connect with and care for them. Family, friends and neighbors knew this and entrusted me to watch over their furry friends during vacations, work shifts and late nights out. My experience includes cleaning and refilling food/water bowls and litter boxes, dog walking and other forms of outdoor activity, and some medicine administration (mainly for cats). One of the best parts of being an adult living on my own terms means I can work the hours I want! This means my schedule is open and flexible mornings, days and nights. I will ensure your pets have a clean environment with all of the essentials like food, water and indoor or outdoor entertainment! Even our furry friends get bored.
