About: I volunteer at the APA animal shelter where I walk and play with all types of dogs. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals including lizards, fish, kittens (2 weeks old), puppies, and turtles! I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend time with your animals and make sure they are well taken care of! I give all pets love and affection with different pets needing different things! For dogs I love to take them for walks and give them lots of belly scratches, and for cats I love to play with them and if they like, pet them!
“Mikayla was fantastic and would recommend to anyone! She was very communicative, you could tell she cared about the animals and did everything she could to help out. Thank you for everything and will be using her again when I need someone to help out!”


“Emma was so sweet and thoughtful during her drop in on my puppy! Georgie loves her! She made time to meet beforehand to get to know the pup and meet in person which I really appreciated. Will definitely be using her services often!”


“Natalee did a fantastic job with our nervous cat. Some pets take patience and understanding and she has both in spades. She provided great feedback and is who I will contact any time I need a pet sitter.”

“Jacqueline was great with Momo! She was quick to respond to my messages over the holidays and attentive when following Momo’s specific meal routine.”

“I booked Hope to care after my two cats, while I took a 5 day trip. She came over for a meet and greet a few days before I left and the cats were receptive to her very calm demeanor. That's a big plus when you introduce a new person to your pets. I have a cat with diabetes and needs insulin shots, twice a day. He can be uncooperative with others giving the shot, but she was successful on each occasion. I received timely updates after each of her visits and positive messages, which give assurance that all was ok back home. I was extremely happy with her care and will definitely hire her again.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I have raised my own dogs and have helped friends, neighbors, and family with theirs for years. I am comfortable with all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether it is walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog as if they were my own. You can expect consistent communication while you are away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I am currently fully available and have a very flexible schedule. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, and I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, overnights, and extended stays. Your dog will receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I am especially available for in home sitting, which allows pets to stay comfortable in their own environment. I have a secure, fenced patio (with designated turf potty areas, and one friendly, well socialized dog. I am happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including crating if needed, feeding schedules, medication, and exercise preferences. While I can host in my home, I prefer sitting in your home so your dog can remain in a familiar, stress free setting. I am respectful of your space, attentive to detail, and focused on keeping your pet safe, calm, and well cared for at all times.
“Phoebe was available for a very last minute booking and took great care of our dog! She communicated frequently and sent pictures. We will definitely book Phoebe for drop in visits again!”

“Megan is amazing! She was very accommodating and flexible! Fast response time and my dog Ruby loves her! I would highly recommend Megan and we will definately be having her over again!”

“Emily was excellent! She is the first Rover sitter I had watch my puppy, Charlie, and he loved her! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving Charlie with Emily for a few hours. She took him out multiple times, played fetch with him, and sent great updates and photos! I’ll definitely be contacting Emily again to watch Charlie!”

“Abby took great care of my cat Lewis. She sent pictures after every check in, which gave me so much comfort seeing he was okay while I was gone. Highly recommend!”
“Stephen was amazing with our two cats! He communicated any questions and sent lots of pictures during each visit. He was gentle and caring and we’ll definitely book with him again!”


About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since 2016. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, snuggle, love on and bathe their pets..(when needed from grass stains to muddy walks) after losing my soul dog in 2020 I made it a personal mission to help others give their dogs, great love, affection, and care. I have administered oral medications for all sizes of dogs due to allergies, diet, skin, irritation, tummy issues and infections. Recently, I fostered a pitbull for a month that was very skittish. In that month, she learned to sit, stay, her name, and most importantly that she is loved. I am making it my personal mission to help all dogs feel loved and all owners to feel like their pups are in good hands. You can expect pictures and or videos from me to help ensure that you have picked someone who cares as much as you do for your pet. I am currently working full-time, but depending on the area I am available for early morning walks on weekdays (before 7am) and after work walks/check-in. (After 5:30pm) my schedule on the weekends varies, but I’m open to starting a schedule with the right dog! One of my main goals is to continue your dogs schedule as close to yours as possible. I will send updates, pictures, videos throughout my time with your dog.

“Kartik regularly provides our k9's with first class care at a very reasonable cost. Not only is he professional and well trusted but he is also pleasant and enjoyable to communicate with. We have every intention of continuing our ongoing Rover relationship with Kartik for the foreseeable future.”

“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”

“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”

“Hayley is great with Hopper and takes good care of him when i have to be away. She keeps good communication so i know what’s going on which I love! I’ve used her service multiple times now and will continue to do so when I need someone trustworthy and great at what they do!”

Academy pet parents share their Rover experiences
TzuYu was an amazing sitter! She kept me updated with daily pictures and some videos, cleaned his water fountain and changed filters, emptied and filled his litter, left treats around for enrichment, just went above and beyond for my little guy! He's shy but he warmed up to her, which shows just how great she is. Will definitely be booking her again in the future!! 🥰

I was very happy with the care that Hope provided for my two pups while I was away. With every visit Hope provided notes and photos, and I could see that the pups were doing great in my absence. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs who had been well cared for.

Emily was fantastic with our babies! We felt so much more comfortable leaving them and enjoying our vacation with her here. She went above and beyond to win over our shyer kitty and really made us feel like we had someone who really cared about them here. Will be booking her again for our next trip! 10/10

Solange took very good care of my fur baby, Queenie. She took photos everyday and she called me twice, so I could talk to Queenie. Solange was punctual and professional when I met with her and during drop in visits. Queenie loves her too. ❤️ I would strongly recommend Solange as a pet sitter, and I will be using her pet services in the future.

Phoebe was a wonderful sitter for my two cats. Each Rover card had updates on how they were acting and multiple pictures of each. One of my cats had an FIV flare-up and she was great about keeping me updated on that. This was my first time booking with Phoebe, but I hope to be a repeat customer!

Sarah was great with our cats Kiwi and Frankie! She was very flexible in arranging the pre-sitter introduction visit and sent plenty of videos and pictures of her playing with and feeding the cats. If we get the chance, we’ll definitely be going back to Sarah!
Nicole has looked after my cat twice now and she has exceeded my expectations both times. He loves her! She sent me great pictures of the fun they had together and made my time away from him much easier with the peace of mind he was being loved on. Thank you Nicole! -Frankie and Enzo
