About: Hi there, I'm Caden. I am a mental health therapist in the area and I am passionate about helping both humans and animals. As a child I grew up on a ranch in the hill country and took care of dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and horses since I could walk. In 2021 my parents tragically lost their 2 dogs in the Ponderosa pet resort fire that claimed 75 animals. We were devastated and struggled to trust anyone but family to watch our pets. I know just how important a responsible and principled pet sitter is, and I am honored by those who allow me to watch their animal. As a therapist, I work a very odd schedule, but I can make it to your home atleast twice a day if needed, as well as spend the night. I can be flexible to accommodate your pets needs Unfortunately, I can not have your pets in my home because I wouldn't want to stress out my own animal. I am young and have lots of energy to play with your animals. I am responsible, a good communicator, and I keep my word. I am willing to adapt my care to your animals needs.
“Ava was amazing with our two dogs and cat. She was in constant communication and provided daily updates. Our pets loved her! Would highly recommend and will be booking again in the future!”
“Tatum was great with our pups! We met with her beforehand so she could get to know our boys and their routine. She sent us pictures everyday while we were away and kept us updated on everything that was going on! Would absolutely love to have her watch our pups again!”
About: I’ve had pets almost my whole life. I’m a new empty nester and have lots of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate most needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters and rabbits. I’m a current mama to two Kitty cats and a French bulldog baby! I’m looking forward to caring and loving on your pets. I am an empty nester so am very flexible in regards to schedule. It is usually wide open. I’m an online student and only require WiFi access to do homework. Otherwise I have no other requirements. This is tailored specific to the clients needs. I currently have a fenced yard at my home with safe spaces zoned for my own pets. My frenchie is kennel trained and my cats are comfortable with dogs.
“We LOVED having Keirstan at our house to stay with our three babies for five nights. I am one to stress over and constantly think about the well-being of my dogs when I am out of town. While I still thought of the dogs very often on my trip, I was never once worried about how they were doing and that thanks to Keirstan's constant contact and reassurance that we GREATLY appreciated. This trip was especially special to us because we got engaged on this trip and I was able to be fully present in the moment and soak it in knowing that our babies were being taken care of in the best manner. I honestly think Dan was a little disappointed to see us instead of Keirstan when we got home lol. That just goes to show you how she truly cared about our dogs and gave them all the love they deserve. We also appreciate her being patient with Daisy, as she is a tough nut to crack. Not long after Keirstan got there, Daisy was warming up to her little by little. Lastly, Duke got sick one night and she kept a close watch on him and made she he was okay and kept us posted which we greatly appreciated. I can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Keirstan!!”
“Sidney has watched our pups at our home two weekends in a row, and done a lovely job! Both times we returned to a clean home and happy pups. She has great communication leading up to a sit to coordinate details, and sent a few photos of them while we were away. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter in their home. Thanks Sidney, can’t wait to book you again! 🐾”
About: I live with a spunky, female bernedoodle and a loving, male poodle. Some of my past experiences include watching two Great Danes overnight, a black lab, and five small dogs during evenings. Pets adore us unconditionally and I strive my best to show them the same love they deserve. My schedule is very flexible including midday breaks. I’m also driving around during the day and can stop by to play with your pet easily! My pets play freely in our house during the day, but are kenneled when we are gone. We have a side yard that we supervise them in while they run around. We also have food down for our pets throughout the day that gets picked up at night. We love to play and go on walks!
About: I’ve owed, boxers, pit bulls, and shitzus! I love all breeds of dogs. I’m patient and kind and I don’t believe dogs should be punished for accidents! I am available from 5-7 am and from 5-10 pm. I am also available all day on Saturdays and Sundays! Please reach out for any additional questions! I lost my two pits in a recent divorce. They live in Ohio, and I would love and nurture your doggies as I did my own!
“Elizabeth was amazing! I trusted her completely with my babies and they all loved her and had a wonderful time! I will defiantly use her again to watch our dogs! The pups were spoiled and loved and treated with care and safety. I appreciate Elizabeth so much!!!”
“I was introduced to Rover by my co-worker, who recently used the service and told me his positive experience. So, I decided to try Rover service and selected Alexadra as our pet sitter to take care my 2 loving dogs and my kitty. She kept me informed of their activities around the house and sent me pictures of them while playing. I'm very happy and satisfied with Alexandra services. Most definitely I will book again with her.”

Elaina G.
“I had the opportunity to utilize Elaina in the spring for dog sitting services. Elaina's communication and professionalism told me that she took the responsibilities of this job seriously; she took notes, asked questions and followed up after our initial meeting. She was readily available to support my hectic schedule and kept me updated of when she arrived and departed the visit, including updates throughout the visit with candid photos of her and my pups enjoying their time together. I have no qualms with Elaina being in my home and taking care of my little fur babies. She is extremely reliable and thorough in completing her assignment. She is friendly and loving, treating my dogs as if they are her own. I highly recommend her to support your fur baby sitting needs; they will love her and want her to visit often. She is a 5 star for sure :)”
