About: What Pet Parents Can Expect Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 35 years of experience caring for pets of all kind, from pampered pups to quirky cats, bunnies, and everything in between. When your pet is with me, they’re not just getting care, they’re getting love, snuggles, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I specialize in senior pets, special needs animals, and those who just need a little extra TLC. Whether your fur baby is shy, spunky, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. You can expect: Regular updates with cute photos and notes A calm, nurturing environment A clean, safe space for play and rest Patience, reliability, and tons of love Experience with administering meds and handling special diets Think of me as your pet’s favorite extended family member, the one they’re always excited to see! Hope to meet your dog(s), cat(s), horse(s), etc soon! :) Pet care isn’t just part of my day. It is my day. From sunrise snuggles to sunset strolls, my entire routine revolves around the animals I care for. Whether I’m feeding breakfast to a sleepy pup, giving midday meds to a senior cat, or ending the evening with playtime and cuddles, every moment is planned with pets in mind. Caring for animals has been my lifelong passion, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m always home or nearby, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s who I am. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my heart and my home. The care I provide is 100% customized to whatever that pet's parents do as a routine with them. My goal is to make their stay with me as close to what they are used to as possible.

About: I understand that pets are part of the family, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’m dependable, attentive to instructions, and comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, or simply giving them plenty of company and affection. As a mom and pet owner, I’m used to being responsible, organized, and attentive to the little details. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with your pet. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions and routines, keep pets supervised, and provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure.

About: I have always had animals my whole life. Myself and parents have rescued dogs as well. I am an animal lover no matter the size or breed. I have 2 dogs that myself and my 3 year old son adore. I work from home so my availability is flexible and animals will always have someone here. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I have 2 friendly dogs that love playing with others. They are up to date on shots.

About: Hello everyone! I am Cortenay, and from the age of 10 I have been caring passionately for animals. I have always felt that I have a special connection with them and understand them. Finally in my early twenties I began caring for them professionally at Mulberry Grove animal hospital. I started in the hospitals boarding wing where I provided personal around the clock care to all of the beautiful fur babies that came to stay. I fell in love with this being that caring for pets has always been my first love. My final chapter in the veterinary field was when I was promoted to a veterinary technician, where I administered medication and cared for special needs pets as well. In conclusion, I have made the decision to step out of the corporate world of care and actually be able to give "up close and personal" care for someones best friend/friends. Where we will be happy and comfortable together in the comforts of home. My schedule is open! If I have a spot open at the time and day that's convenient for you and your furry friend, I will gladly make it happen. I have a beautiful fluffy frenchie, and a short haired pointer. They are extremely friendly and structured dogs. My home is very spacious, and I have plenty of room for tail wagging visitors.

About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs for about 15 years and genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how stressful it can be trusting someone new with your baby. I’m big on communication and will always keep you updated with pictures, walks, meals, playtime and plenty of attention. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip or get through your workday without wondering whether your pet is okay. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow whatever schedule your pet is used to. Whether they want long walks and playtime or they’re happiest curled up getting attention, I’m here for it. 🐾 I am currently unemployed so I have a very flexible schedule. I can work around your time. I am also free on the weekends too. In my home, I create a warm and inviting environment where pets feel safe and loved. With plenty of playtime, regular exercise, and attention to individual needs, I ensure that each furry friend receives the utmost care and affection. I live in a townhouse but have a pet park next to me, where they can explore and interact with other furry friends, and I’m mindful of any dietary requirements or medications they may need. When caring for pets in their own homes, I understand the importance of maintaining their familiar surroundings. I follow your instructions meticulously, keeping to their routines, and providing consistent care. From feeding and grooming to exercise and cuddles, I treat your pets like they’re my own, ensuring their happiness and well-being while you’re away. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are my top priorities. With me, you can trust that your furry companions will receive exceptional care, attention, and love. Let’s discuss how I can provide the best care for your beloved pets!

“Jennifer is amazing and takes care of my Lacey as if she is her own! Lacey actual makes gleeful noises when she knows Jennifer is about to arrive! Jennifer was also so kind to make last minute arrangements for Lacey to stay with her parents when we had to head out of town. She’s a marvel, she is trustworthy- & comes & goes from our home when we are not here. Jennifer gets 10 star rating!”

About: I have experience with small to extra large breeds. I have worked with a professional trainer to train my dogs. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I truly have a love for all animals. I will treat your loved ones as I would want mine treated in my absence. Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a teacher. I would love to care for your furbabies after-school and on the weekends/holidays. I am off during the summer months and can provide care during the day. I have a fenced yard and my own cats and dogs to keep your pet from feeling lonely. I have crates as well as playpens. I try very hard to keep my home safe and clean, however it is a pet and kid friendly home.

“Madelin was very easy to reach and book on short notice. She was very communicative about the entire visit and sent many pictures. I look forward to taking her on as a repeat client. My dog Koda loved her very much.”

About: I offer loving, reliable pet care in a calm and relaxed environment. I specialize in well-behaved pets and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs over the years and truly treat them as part of the family. We had beloved dogs growing up, and I’ve also had cats—including a rescue cat which we loved very much. I'm naturally attentive to each pet's behavior, routine, and comfort. I take the time to understand their personality, so they feel calm and secure while you're away. I'm also friendly, respectful, clean and easy to communicate with. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for pets in my care. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take pets out on leashed walks and supervised potty breaks to ensure their safety at all times. I also have a spacious outdoor patio area for fresh air and short breaks. Inside, I maintain a clean, comfortable space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. In a client’s home, I respect their space and instructions, keeping their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free.

“When we go out of town, we always worry about the furry family member we leave behind. We have a 9 yo diabetic yellow lab Buddy and because of his special needs, had in the past, spend most of our trip worrying if he was getting the care he needed. Until we found rover and Rhea. She is very caring and compassionate with Buddy, giving him long walks, affection and attention to his special needs. Rheas' daily report cards and photos put our minds at ease that Buddy was well cared for in our absence. Because of Rheas' compassion for animals and dependability, we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for that special caregiver.”

About: Since I was a child, I have always had pets in my house; dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, etc. I have experience in basic training, working with senior dogs, medicating dogs, puppies (both caring for and potty training), and body language in dogs. I know much about mannerisms and behavior in dogs as well as how to combat the bad ones. I have worked with all types of dogs, as I have worked in the pet food industry before. I have volunteered with multiple dog rescues in Florida including The Animal League and Hound Haven. I am a certified Canine Training & Behavior Specialist as of 2021. I am currently half way through a pet nutrition course as of 2022. I currently have a business from my home. If I have any markets, I would have to leave during the day for about 4-6 hours to handle that and possibly longer hours due to markets themselves. I have recently moved to a 3 acre plot, in which we are currently building a doggy haven with tons of fenced in running area and in the future pools and play equipment. If a VIP (very important pet) doesn't have access to a backyard I like to walk 3+ times daily depending on the dog. I feed my dogs twice a day on the best food I make myself. I have literal baskets of dog toys as well as safe chews for the dogs who like to chew. I'd rather not take dogs to a dog park as of the safety issue. I have two horses and 18 chickens that roam on my 3 acres and can take dogs as long as they are on leash to meet them. I live with a roommate who also helps take care of any pets in the house. I have five pets in the house; my pigeon, Sterling who 'rules the roost'; my two ferrets, Dobby & Dougal who love to play; my large (75lbs) dog, Blake who is excited at first then is calm; and my medium (30lbs) dog Akira who is most playful of the bunch. I watch all interactions with my pets and do have 'safety' crates for my pets if any issues of socialization.

About: I've always been a dog lover. We have had experience watching our family and friends dogs for periods of time, prior to joining Rover. We grew up with dogs and have had pets all of our lives. I currently own a miniature dachshund named Mushu. I take watching your dog seriously. It’s important that they are cared for, loved, safe, and most importantly that they have fun. Because they are on vacation too! They'll have free rein of my apartment with plenty of room to play and places to curl up and nap. I don't have any kids and only board one dog at a time, so your pup's "vacation" can be as stress-free as possible! I live near lots of walking paths and enjoy going on long walks myself, so if your dog can walk (or even run) for 2-4 miles at a time, then we can certainly do that! If not, we can stay closer to home for some short walks or hanging out in several large grassy areas close by. I love taking lots of pictures of my furry sleepovers, and will be happy to send you updates and pics as often as you like while you are away! We look forward to having the opportunity to watch your furry family member.

About: I have parented dogs, cats, puppies and kittens for over 30 years. I love all animals and would care for almost any type. Same day availability. I’m retired and available any time. I work part time remotely as an accountant. I have a fenced yard, a garage, and an extra bedroom. I will spoil your fur babies as if they were my own. I speak all species of cat and dog, but I’m not fluent in bird. 🤭😉

About: I have cared for domestic pets of all kinds - cats, dogs (all sizes), birds, turtles, lizards, etc - as a sitter and for fun. My aunt (whom my mother lives with) is a dog trainer as well as a breeder (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) 25+ yrs. I grew up volunteering my time doing puppy evaluations, crate-training, potty-training, etc. I frequently babysit my friends pets while they are away, and have cats of my own at the house! I recently resigned my job as a firefighter, and have extra time in my schedule to have a side gig I care about. Walks, hikes, runs and swims if the dog is active! I understand each pet as it’s own needs and individual personalities. I care for other pets as they were my own, and I hope to make a great fit as a sitter for you! I am available 24/7 for pet care (overnight or drop-ins) as I recently resigned from my job to move to FL with my partner. I am currently looking for a full-time job. So call me! I live in an apartment complex with a large, fenced in dog park. It’s location is safe, next to a middle school. We have plenty of empty space to watch pets over night in separate rooms, or let them roam free depending on their personal needs. Additionally, the complex is located next to an outdoor recreation area with walking trails and sidewalks.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. My neighbors trusted me to watch their dogs as well. I now have 3 big dogs of my own! I can fall in love with any dog regardless of size or temper. In my eyes all dogs need the same amount of love! I am in between jobs at the moment but looking for a part time job as well as this. I also have a 6 month old baby and I am adapted to being a mother at the same time. I make sure they have their water bowls filled. Also will make sure to feed them based on what feeding schedule they are on at the time, and take them for walks daily. Also I’ll make sure they get enough love and affection while their owners are gone.

“Angela has been very patient with me trying to learn how to use Rover. She's done an excellent job with my little Yoshi. He can be a bit of a wild card out on walks and she has handled him very well and he enjoys his walks very much.”

“Deborah was there for us when we gave little notice. She was amazing and will definitely refer her to any one”

About: I have always loved pet sitting for my aunts friends and my family, It brings so much joy and the animals I care for always love being with me. I am currently a full time student, pet-sitting is a flexible job that I love doing, and it works best with my busy school schedule. I will always make sure the dogs are on leashes being aware of the surroundings for their and mine safety. Also being aware when in the house for the other animals, like cats, making sure everything is okay and watching if I go out the house.

About: Hey pet parents! If you need a trustworthy animal sitter and/or walker, I’m you’re girl! I have plenty of experience caring for dogs. I have dog sat for several of my neighbors in the past. I know how to care for them and can even train them to learn basic commands. I, myself, have an 8 year old German Shepherd, who only gets the best treatment. I greatly enjoy walking dogs, as I know they spend most of their time at home. Every walk is an adventure for them, as well as necessary exercise. I will stick strictly to any schedule you have set for your pup, and do my best to keep them happy and healthy. We are so lucky to have the loyalty and love of these animals. I want to give them the treatment they truly deserve. I will work hard to earn the trust and friendship of any dog. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for your fur baby! I’m usually available on weekends and weekdays after 5 pm. I am well versed in body language to ensure your pet is comfortable. I will stick closely to your schedule and try to maintain a sense of familiarity for your pet to give them the best experience possible.
