“I’m hesitant to provide glowing reviews as I’d like to have Allison all to myself- she gives us such piece of mind and Blaze was so quick to trust her.”

“Rosie took my dog for a walk for the first time recently. My dog is extremely wary of new people, but Rosie managed to win her favor. She sent me lots of status updates and a video of my dog playing with her VERY happily, which is always a great sign. I'm sure we'll be using Rosie again in the future!”

“This is who you want! Rachel is fantastic. Great at communicating her arrival time, pet behavior and sending pictures, etc. As one of our first experiences with Rover, she put our minds at ease and comfortable with trusting our dog to a stranger for the first time. Thanks, Rachel!”

“Dustin has been wonderful! He's very gentle with Larry and very kind. I noticed he takes note of Larry's harness and if it's too loose or uncomfy for him. Larry loves him! I definitely recommend hiring Dustin for walks.”

About: Friends, family, and neighbors trust me with their pets because of my exceptional communication skills. My superpower in the pet sitting world is providing frequent updates and photos that allow owners to feel completely at ease while they’re away. Alongside my energy and ability to comfort animals, I ensure that both pets and their owners are well cared for and connected during their time apart. Being self-employed in my primary career gives me the flexibility to fully dedicate myself to pet sitting as a cherished side hustle. This freedom allows me to offer personalized and attentive care on my own schedule, ensuring that your pets receive the best attention and love while you're away. My unique ability to balance both roles means you can trust that your furry friends are in capable and caring hands. When visiting pets at their own home, I focus on maintaining their regular routine and providing comfort in a familiar setting. My services include: -Daily Care Routine: I follow the established schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring pets experience minimal disruption to their daily lives. -Comfort and Security: I make sure pets feel safe and secure by adhering to their usual routines and providing a calming presence while their owners are away. -Frequent Updates: I offer regular updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pets' well-being and activities, giving them peace of mind while they’re away. -Household Care: In addition to pet care, I can handle minor household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and ensuring the home remains secure.

“Sofia is an excellent care taker for my dog. She’s wonderful, sends me updates and her communication is outstanding. I love that I get to see photos of my dog especially when I’m traveling. Keeps my heart at ease”

About: I grew up surrounded by farms and stray cats having babies on my porch that we would often take in. Most of the time my childhood home was full of 2 border collie dogs and 4-6 adopted cats. I have had my own cat for 3 years who I rescued (he has one eye and is the Cutest boy) and all my siblings have dogs and cats that I’m constantly loving like human nieces and nephews. Friends and neighbors have always regarded me as an animal lover and someone who is good with animals. I seem to attract them wherever I go! I am a professor so my schedule is flexible. All week days and weekends work for me. During the weekdays I am most available in the mornings and evenings. I am very respectful of everyone’s homes and their rules. I am good with details and feel comfortable following directions and wishes of any client.

“Duncan had a great walk with Jill!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to delicate seniors. I'm dedicated to ensuring your pet feels happy and safe, and I keep in close communication with pet parents so you always know your pet is being well-cared for. As a fully remote worker, I have the flexibility to manage my meeting schedule, allowing me to allocate dedicated blocks of time for pet care. I keep my calendar meticulously up-to-date, ensuring that you can rely on the availability shown. I like to get to know each dog I care for and tailor activities based on their personality and needs. For active dogs we may play fetch and go for long walks. On bad weather days, I engage them with brain games, play tug of war, or offer a bone to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated. My goal is to ensure each pet feels happy, comfortable, and well-cared for, whether they're at my home or in their own.

About: Animals have always been a piece of my heart. I love every single breed of dogs. I’m always the one someone calls when they need a pet sitter. I care for the animals like no other. I have worked in the doggy daycare/ boarding industry for 2 years, I am a farm girl at heart. I have owned many animals including horses, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, & roosters! Right now I am unemployed since I had a cross country move. I am available all day everyday to sit with your pup, play, walk, whatever you would need me to do! I have my own Golden Retriever and Siberian Husky that loves to play. You will always catch my golden and I at the dog park. We love to play fetch!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10! Family, friends, and neighbors have depended on me for years. Reliable, friendly, and always willing to help. I’m currently a student with an extremely free schedule. Pet-care fits easily in! I take myself for walks daily, and I’d love to have a furry-friend to join me. I have 10 years of experience caring for animals. I am very clean and function well on a schedule. Caring for animals helps to maintain strict timelines for my day, and I seek to ensure that they are kept on their routine as well!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish for over 25 years and have experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with Siberian Huskies and have spent my life around animals, both as a pet owner and caregiver. I provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs! My experience includes walks, feeding, administering oral medications, playtime, companionship, photo updates, and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or well-being while you’re away. In addition to pet care, I have experience maintaining freshwater aquariums, including water quality monitoring and tank care, as well as basic indoor plant care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible part-time work schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy staying active through walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting and dog walking are a rewarding part of my routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and individual needs, from feeding schedules and walks to medications and favorite activities. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while keeping owners updated with messages and cute photos! I make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and care.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own who are treated like royalty. I watch my neighbors pets, dogs, cats, bearded dragon, when they are out of town. I volunteer with a dog rescue when I can, Rylie’s Rescue, transporting, and foster care. I absolutely love all animals! I work part time, 3 days a week. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, from 11-6pm. All other days I’m completely available. I could always stop in before and after work. I prefer to watch in your home, I have 3 dogs, our Toy Australian Shepherd, has had to have surgery on 3 legs, so I rather keep him calm and not bring too much excitement to our home.

“I just starting a new job and was not going to be able to come home at lunch to walk my pups myself, Rover made it super fast in helping me locate Julain. Within hours after requesting service he was at my apartment walking Bella and Tanner. Couldn’t have been anymore painless!! Thank You!!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats all my life before moving to the US, and caring for them has always been a passion. From playful puppies to independent cats, I’ve learned how to provide the best care with patience, love, and attention to their needs. Now, I want to bring that same dedication to caring for others’ pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently unemployed, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends. I’m always available on weekdays and most weekends. I update my calendar every week. I live in a clean, cozy one-bedroom apartment with my husband. We have no kids and no pets. Our home is quiet, well maintained, and ideal for pets who enjoy a calm environment. Plenty of space for relaxing, supervised care, and comfortable downtime.
