About: I have cared for my own pets, friends pets, and family members pets for decades, including multiple senior pets and those with specific medical needs. I work from home and have my own pets who are spoiled with constant company and attention to needs. I walk my own dogs in the morning throughout the summer to avoid the hottest part of the day. It is unlikely I am ever out of the house for more than 90 minutes, ensuring that neither your nor my own dogs are left unattended for long enough to become anxious. My backyard is fully shaded, fenced, and has a small pond. Even on the hottest days my backyard is suitable for lounging despite the high desert heat.
“Stacy is the friendliest person to care for anyone's pet! She is attentive and follows all special instructions related to diets, socialization, medications and temperaments of your pet(s). She can wrangle in the rowdy and playful and can also soothe anxious fur babies with lots of positive praise and interaction. Kind and always helpful.. Stacy is amazing.”
About: I'm a retired veteran. I'm trustworthy and passionate about animals. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child. I have a granddog who stops by now and again. I love dogs and promise to treat your dog as my my own. My husband and I are both retired military so we are able to cater to your schedule and to your dogs needs. I'm happy to administer medication if needed. We have a large fenced in back yard with a playground mulch base, shade sails and a covered patio. I have a kiddie pool I use on occasion for our dogs. Inside is air-conditioned and we have plenty of dog friendly couch seating in the living room.
About: I have been caring for animals since my childhood and have several of my own. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work and go to school part time. I have the most freedom on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but can also periodically check on your pet on the other days of the week. I can do overnights as well. I will work with your pets needs whether that is specific feeding times, a walking schedule, or other routines that you and your pet typically do.
About: I have had pets all my life and looked after friend's and family's pets in the U.S. and Mexico. I love getting to know their habits and quirks and being their buddy, while they're people were away. I am a remote graphic designer and do landscaping. My schedule is very flexible and enjoy taking dogs for walks and sitting/playing with cats. I use Rover when I travel and know what it's like to be away from your pets. I love spending time with pets, giving them the extra care when their people are away. I think giving people the freedom to travel and work, and still take great care of their pets is very important.
About: I have many years of caring for all types of dogs. I have worked with puppies, seniors, reactive/fearful dogs, and working/high energy breeds. I am always up for learning and researching new techniques and skills when it comes to dogs. I have fostered dogs through my local animal shelter for many years which has given me a lot of experience with rescues. I’ve fostered nursing litters, young puppies, and adult dogs with great success! I am always excited to meet new dogs and learn their personalities and quirks so that I can care for them in a way that works best for the dog! I am newly unemployed and dedicating my time to caring for dogs! My schedule is generally pretty flexible, which leaves me time to care for your pets in a way that works for you and your dog! I live in a home with a fenced in yard where dogs can play! I have one dog named Olive, and she is the best with fosters we bring into our home. She will take the lead of other dogs and can play for hours, or just hangout calmly and give space to nervous dogs. I believe in crate training and find it very useful for multi dog households, but if your dog isn’t crate trained we can figure something out! Mental and physical stimulation is one of the most important things for dogs, so I incorporate walks, brain games, and structure whenever necessary! I believe that each dog is unique, so I like to follow their lead in terms of what they require to be fulfilled!
“Karyn is just fantastic. She has the training and experience to take care of pets, but more importantly has the most important skill and the one you can’t teach someone; the love. Book Karyn with peace of mind, I promise your pets will appreciate it.”

Jason G.
“Jason is great! When we met I could tell he gets animals. My cat is usually shy around new people, but warmed up to him almost instantly, and that never happens. Jason has a calm, gentle presence that both my cat and my small terrier responded to with total trust. While I was away Jason kept me updated with daily messages, adorable photos, and little notes about how my pets were doing. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. When I returned, my home was just as I left it, and my pets were relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, Jason is the one. Responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring. He’s everything you want in a pet sitter. I’m so grateful we found him!”

Ethanee R.Star Sitter
“Ethanee took care of our very finicky 22-year-old cat for 9 days over the holidays. Our cat requires twice daily medication and has special dietary needs. We came home to one very happy, very healthy cat. She provided us daily updates, was meticulous about cleaning the litter box and keeping water cleaned and refilled. As a plus, the house was also spotless!!! Not only is our cat very finicky, we are also very picky about who we trust to care for our fur-baby. We will ask Ethanee to cat sit any time we leave. We cannot thank her enough for the care and attention she showered on our little Reggie.”
Marilee W.
“Marilee has taken care of my fur baby while I've gone away on trips many times. My dog loves her Auntie Marilee so much she acts like she just wants to stay with her whenever I come back! Marilee has a calm, soothing vibe and takes really good care of my dog. It's such a relief to have a reliable, caring person to care for my pup when I go out of town. I know my pup is in good hands and I have no worries, which really helps me enjoy my vacation time away! Marilee also does a fantastic job of communicating, keeping me posted as to how my dog is doing, and she even sends photos of my doggie whenever she stays with her. Marilee is the best! Ten out of ten!”

Altura pet parents share their Rover experiences
Catherine was fantastic. My cat Alien loved the attention and daily brushing. Catherine also changed out litter box and vacuumed when it needed it. She also watered my plants. We were gone for almost 3 weeks and I never felt like I had to worry. She also sent photos and videos regularly which I really appreciated. Catherine was very good. I highly recommend her for your house sitting or pet sitting needs,
Winston loves Kat! He’s always happy to see her, and he has a great time playing and cuddling with her. I feel completely comfortable leaving W with Kat. I appreciate that she communicates quickly whenever there’s a question. She’s the best sitter I’ve had in years!👍
