“She truly cares about our pets and provides them the best care while we’re gone! We never have to worry when we’re out of town. She goes above and beyond to accommodate us. We are lucky to have found her!”
“Emily was amazing! I reached out to her last week about house sitting with our 2 crazy & high energy dogs. Our boy was very timid when she arrived(even though they had a meet and greet the day before.) Emily was patient and took her time to let him warm up to her. He was bringing her his toys and snuggling before long. She was very communicative and took great care of the house and our pups. I am very particular about who takes care of our pups and couldn't have been happier. We already booked our next trip using Emily again!”

About: A caring pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after dogs and cats. Familiar with feeding routines, short walks, basic grooming, and giving plenty of attention and play. Dependable, attentive to each animal’s comfort, and clear in communication with pet owners. I’m open 24/7 for all pet care needs. Whether you need early-morning walks, last-minute drop-ins, late-night check-ups, or extended boarding stays, I’m here any hour, any day. I keep my home tidy and hazard-free, stay close to supervise your pet at all times, and share fun photo updates so you always know they’re safe and happy.
About: As a stay-at-home individual, I am consistently home, enabling me to provide comprehensive care for pets. Regardless of their size or breed, I have a history of caring for various dogs/cats since my childhood. My affinity for animals is evident in my ability to handle dogs and cats of different ages. I possess a strong sense of kindness, empathy, and deep love for all living creatures. I am available most of the week, with possible exceptions on weekends depending on my schedule. I am committed to providing ample care for your animal as needed. I ensure that your pets have access to food, water, and ample opportunities for outdoor play. Additionally, I prioritize providing them with the attention and companionship they require. It is important to note that I reside with my parents, who own two dogs and two cats. These animals live upstairs, while I live downstairs. The physical barriers, such as doors and other furnishings, prevent them from accessing my living area. Recently, I acquired a puppy. If your pets are not well-behaved with other animals, please inform me, and I will relocate the puppy to the upstairs area to ensure a harmonious living environment for both our pets.
“Desiree watched our two pups over the weekend at our house and we could not be happier. She was our first experience using Rover and she has set the bar high! Our meet and greet helped to calm my husband and I’s nerves. She is on top of communication with quick responses. Our dogs were loved and we could tell they had a great time with Desiree. Hoping we can have her watch them again in the near future.”
“Our pup was very happy being watched by Emma and we were happy to know she was in good hands and have frequent updates on how things were going. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”

Paul Z.
“I have observed Paul many times walking his German Shepard. Paul's dog is very well behaved. It is obvious he loves animals. We have a dozen dogs in our neighborhood and they all love him. He has assisted people with training their dogs, he is taking care of a dog right now. He handles dogs with patience and kindness, and draws the best behavior out dogs he works through consistent commands and encouragement. He would be a very good Rover employee.”
