“Dustin is the best! He is so friendly, kind of like family so you feel comfortable leaving your family pet and can relax on vacation. He watched our cat for us and even sent pictures daily. Will definitely use him for our next get away.”



“Natalie is great! She was very attentive during our consultation for an upcoming house sitting for my kitten and pup but I needed her for a last minute drop in lunch visit. She was thankfully available and very communicative. Her notes on the visit were super detailed and included lots of photos of both animals. She was able to feed my kitten his lunch and take Snax for a walk. I feel very comfortable with the upcoming weekend - both of my pets will be in good hands!”


“Shera is absolutely amazing! My dog, Ollie, absolutely adores her, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for him when I’m away. She’s incredibly communicative, always keeping me updated with messages and the best pictures that show just how happy and well cared for he is. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that Ollie is safe, loved, and treated like family. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and professional, I highly recommend Shera!”

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. From farm to family and friends'. Strays somehow always find me in my neighborhood. I am so passionate about creatures that I volunteer at the SPCA as a socializer in my free time. I have also cared for elderly & sick animals. Spending time with pets is one of my greatest joys! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to travel to visits in the area multiple times a day/week as needed. I am centrally located in Midtown. Although your bond with your pet is one of a kind, my goal is to give your pet the same fun, comforting, and safe time as they would have with you. This includes learning their and your preferences for feeding schedules, walking habits (i.e. reactive to other dogs or humans? prefers to poop on dirt rather than grass?), home and public safety of your animal, doing my best to keep toxic and/or forbidden foods out of reach (plants, shoes, charging cables etc), and keeping any door-dashers where they should be. I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs, and in cats, injecting fluids. I respect your home and your privacy. Working with integrity and keeping your trust is very important to me!

“Maya was great! She arrived on time and my pups seemed to love her. Had daily photos and updates. We definitely would trust her and recommend her to pup sit again. Thank you Maya!!”


“Jandy was so amazing! Suki gets nervous and uncertain when we leave town, and Jandy did everything to make her feel comfortable and happy. It was so reassuring to get all the photos and videos of Suki smiling on walks, asking for pets, and generally just being her happy, contented self. I highly recommend her!”


“Chynna was great with my senior pup that has been dealing with some health issues. They were kind, flexible, and communicative so that I was fully comfortable knowing my dog was taken care of. Would recommend!”


“Holly is a pro and took the best care of my three boy cats and their special meds and food needs. She built trust with them immediately in our meet-n-greet and they let her care for them on each visit thereafter. Thank you, Holly!”


“Elizabeth was great and our cats appeared to really enjoy her company! Her updates were wonderfully detailed and we appreciated all the pictures.”


About: I am a very loving and caring person who absolutely loves dogs. Hanging out and caring for dogs means a lot to me! I’m super organized and love to make sure animals are well cared for even if that means giving them medicine and a bath. I work a very flexible schedule and am able to step away or work remotely from my phone whenever I need too which is great! I have a very organized and clean apartment with an extra room and bed-lots of pets love to snooze in!! I love long walks with pets and playing fetch to get energy out! I also love affection and caring for older dogs who need a little extra support. There’s also a dog park right next door for lots of fun!

“Jordan was super accommodating and flexible especially given the quick turnaround time of the request. Definitely book him if you're in need of some quality time spent with your pets!”


About: I love dogs and have grown up with dogs around constantly! I have lots of experience walking my neighbors dogs as well as pet sitting in college! I am experienced in sitting and walking any size of dog and love to play with them as well! I am currently a recent graduate from the Univerity of Tennessee and am spending my summer interning in Sacramento! I am very flexible for any dog walking or dog sitting, so please don't hesitate to reach out! I work Monday through Thursday until 4:30 pm! I have been using Rover while in college and I am very experienced staying at homes to take care of and play with dogs! Making sure your dog is comfortable in their own environment is really important to me!

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I've owned four dogs, both large and small breeds, and have a deep understanding of their unique needs. One of my dogs had a seizure disorder, so I’m very comfortable administering medications multiple times a day and responding calmly and confidently to medical emergencies like grand mal seizures. I also groom my own long-haired small dog and have experience with breeds that require regular grooming and extra TLC. I volunteered at the ASPCA, where I completed their dog socialization training. This taught me a lot about canine behavior, safety, and how to build trust with dogs of all backgrounds. I walked and socialized dogs at the center, and it was one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. Over the years, I’ve provided house and pet sitting for family and friends, always making sure to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I genuinely enjoy getting to know every dog I meet and aim to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved in my care. Outside of pet care, I work as an environmental scientist and am passionate about protecting wildlife and our natural world. I work a typical Monday–Friday, 8–5 schedule, but have some flexibility and often work from home. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s specific needs and would love the chance to care for your furry family member! I work in environmental science and typically 8am -5pm Monday through Friday. I have a hybrid schedule that allows me flexibility to work from home or wherever and I have every other Friday off. I am typically free on weekends unless I have a scheduled vacation, which will be on my schedule. I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and sense of comfort. I follow feeding, walking, and medication schedules closely, and always prioritize each dog’s unique needs and personality. With experience handling medical conditions and understanding dog behavior, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. I treat every dog like family and aim to make them feel secure and cared for in your absence.

About: Hi! I’m Bernadette and I’d like to pet your dogs and cats. Actually, I’d like to babysit them if you’ll let me. Aside from being a lifetime pet owner, I am also a trusted pet sitter for a variety of animals for family, friends, and colleagues. Embracing my love for animals has put me on the path to fostering animals and volunteering at shelters. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am working remotely as a freelance graphic designer, which allows me to be flexible and available for in-home pet care and drop-in services on most days. I am typically available everyday except Saturday from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m., but I am always willing to negotiate different times or extended stays if needed. In a client’s home, I will always respect your pet’s boundaries, behaviors, and environment to ensure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I will keep your pet company (so long as they allow me to) and give them all the love, enrichment, and attention as they need!

Anthony E.
“I am writing to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Anthony as a pet sitter with Rover. I have had the pleasure of knowing Anthony for many years and can confidently say that he is one of the most responsible, compassionate, and trustworthy individuals I know—especially when it comes to caring for animals. Anthony has a natural affinity with pets and approaches each animal with patience, kindness, and attentiveness. Whether it's walking dogs, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, he consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. His attention to detail and commitment to following pet care instructions exactly as provided make him an excellent choice for any pet owner seeking peace of mind while away. In addition to his strong work ethic and reliability, Anthony is also highly communicative, regularly providing updates and photos to pet parents, which I know is greatly appreciated from myself. His calm and confident demeanor helps animals feel at ease, even those with anxiety or special needs. I am confident that Anthony will make a fantastic addition to the Rover community. Any family or individual would be lucky to have him care for their beloved pets.”

Highly recommend Bernadette for your next pet sitter!”

Hans is an absolute hero yet again!! Looked after our two cats with love, care, and great communication! As always their vote counts the most, and they were in fine spirits when we got back. 10/10 would recommend Hans!!

Rachel was awesome and communicative. She kept us updated regularly and the cats were totally content the entire time :)

Josilyn was amazing with Lucy! She brushed her, took her on walks, played with her, and made sure she felt loved and happy the whole time. She even accommodated an extra day last minute, which I’m so thankful for. I’m really glad Josilyn was the one taking care of Lucy — she went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Maya was great! She arrived on time and my pups seemed to love her. Had daily photos and updates. We definitely would trust her and recommend her to pup sit again. Thank you Maya!!

Jandy review Jandy has always gone above and beyond for our cats, both on routine daily visits and when one of our cats got sick and needed extra time and care. She cares about the enrichment of our boys and often brings them new treats and toys to try out. She also sends lots of lovely pictures and videos, and we appreciate her filling us in on how the cats are doing as she films the videos. The most recent time we were out of town, one of our cats, who is immunocompromised, came down with a fever, diarrhea, and lethargy. Jandy was helpful and informative as we were deciding next steps, and she was able to take him to the vet for us and get him started on some antibiotics and supportive care while we traveled home. She is knowledgeable about supplements that can help our little guy and even put together a little care package of them for us. He's now feeling much better and I think Jandy is just as happy about it as we are. She truly cares about our boys and has checked in with us multiple times to see how he is doing. Jandy is the whole package - loving, knowledgeable, responsible and communicative. Couldn't ask for better! ❤️

Sarah is wonderful! I have two cuddly, social cats who enjoy human interaction while I’m gone. Sarah is a great communicator, shared plenty of pictures and updates, and my girls loved her. It was so nice to know my cats were in great hands.

Nicole was great! She spent lots of time with my cats during drop-in visits, followed my instructions, and was attentive and communicative throughout.

Jessica was incredible! Our kitties loved her. She was responsive, responsible, and truly a joy to meet. I frankly think our cats were slightly disappointed that it wasn’t jessica walking through the door on the day we came back! We had a bit of snafu with our litter robot and Jessica helped us trouble shoot with ease and grace. Would highly recommend!

Carrie is our cats’ favorite! They just spent 11 days with her visiting and we came home to happy cats

Dustin is wonderful. I often need to make last minute plans. Dustin always quickly responds to out request to let us know his availability. Our dog, Hank, is aging and Dustin takes such good care of him. I never need to worry as Dustin is 100% reliable. I highly recommend Dustin as he is the best of the best
Esther has been visiting us for years when our humans are away. Us cats love her and she’s amazing! Thank you as always! -Lily, Lucy and Chicken

We love having Tyson drop in on our boys! He’s so great with our high energy Aussies. Grateful to have someone we can trust when we’re out of town!

We had a fantastic experience with Kasey and Elizabeth! From the moment we connected, they were professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with animals. They took excellent care of Sunday, Ditty, and Peach, following all instructions carefully and even going above and beyond with extra playtime, updates, and photos while we were away. Our pets looked happy and well-cared for when we returned, and our home was just as we left it. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

Kaitlyn did great with our kitties! We will definitely ask her to check in on them again the next time we go out of town!!

Karina was awesome and the dogs had a blast! She took good care of our 3 dogs and we’d have her again watch them!

Briana was great! I have a zoo of cats, and she was able to get even the most scared ones to come out! She even put in an effort with my mean queen who tolerated her which is better than she does with anyone else. She was also so accommodating when my trip ran into some issues causing extended dates which was wonderful!

Kayla is an outstanding sitter!! She is very vigilant and compassionate. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

Natalie kept my kitties feeling good in my absence. She was able to do a few odd tasks related to their care and even offered to do more!
