“Lillian has done some regular drop in visits for our 2 pups for the last month or so and is amazing! She is very responsive and is always keeping us updated with pics on how they did. Thank you!!!”


2. Bryan C.

“Bryan was absolute wonderful with my fur babies! He sent pics on each visit. If he had a question he didn’t hesitate to ask. My puppy can be a bit hard headed but Bryan knew how to handle him & the situation. I will be booking with him twice a month from now on. Because I know my babies will be in good hands!”

“I always use Sabrina! Shes the best!”


4. Frederick B.

“Frederick is always quick to communicate when I need help bathing my pup. Also understanding and flexible for any rescheduling. I’ve not used him for pet sitting services, but would not hesitate!”


5. Linda S.

“Linda did a fantastic job with our pets. The communication was superb, and we loved all the photos! We will definitely call on her again next time we travel.”


6. Breanna T.

“Breanna is so sweet. Our dogs loved her and she loved them. We hope we can always use her for our drop-ins!”


7. Katie E.

“Katie E was wonderful with our 2 cats, Sassy & Frankie, as well as tending to the driveway kitties with the food I left for them too. Sassy was Miss Personality (as always) but Frankie is wary of everyone & he hid each time. Katie found his hiding places & would spend time trying to engage with him... so stubborn, not even catnip was luring him out! We enjoyed seeing the pictures from each visit as well. It was such a relief knowing they were being looked after so well.”


8. Jada C.


“Jada was wonderful with my pets, who can be a little challenging. Her attention to detail and communication made my animals fall in love with her and gave me to peace of mind to be present for an out of town memorial. Thank you, Jada!!”

About: 🇺🇸 Army veteran with a heart of service and a passion for family. Proud mom of two spirited 8-year-olds and companion to my loyal canine, Simba. I serve part time in the army national guard and I'm taking classes at TCC. I have flexibility to assist with walking or doing drop in on your fur baby! I enjoy walking because it great exercise for myself and your companion. 📚💪🐶 Book me to walk your loveable fur baby! I start early about 6 am to walk Simba. Than drop my kiddos off at 8am and my hours start with walking my clients dogs in order. On weekends I sleep in until 8 am and walk my dog and my other clients dogs. Pretty simple day. I currently reside in a three bedroom apartment so I am not offering boarding services at this time, due to my space being so small.

About: We started hosting dogs as a family when we ourselves needed to board our pets but we’re uncomfortable with the idea of leaving them in a kennel. We found Rover and decided to open our home as well so others could enjoy the same quality of care, love and companionship we did. Since then, we all relocated to different areas so I took a break. Now that I am settled in Pittsburg full time, I figured there may be a need here as well. The separation alone can be hard on our babies so having a reliable and trustworthy person to look after your pet is of utmost importance. I have a small rescue dog named Roxy who is very social and has lots of "friends". She was found eating from a dumpster and is now a lil fatty with a wonderful spirit and the cutest personality. I have kept many dogs over the years (large and small breeds) and feel it’s more like a slumber party than a job. If this is your first time, don't worry, we can always do a meet and greet before the stay. I find it becomes more like a play date than a scary situation to both the owner and the pet. Even for the more timid dogs, I make the situation comfortable. With constant love and attention, I think this is a great safe place to leave your babies. If you have any questions, please let us know. Why I love dog sitting I actually didn't start enjoying dogs until I got one of my own. It was by default. My friend is a rescuer so I volunteered to help while she was working for a few days. The pup attached itself to me. Since then I have become so attached to animals that we ended up having two dogs and work at the shelter on the weekends. My oldest son has always had a passion for dogs and plans to be a vet so this experience is so beneficial to him and his future. We just love having them and giving them a safe, loving place to visit and play. Meet my pets We have two spayed/neutered rescue dogs, both very social and love to have friends visit. One is a medium breed, the other is a smaller dog. About my yard It does not have a fence all the way around but I have never had an issue with this. My schedule is very flexible as I own a small business and work remotely. I am also semi-retired so my company is less demanding of my time than typical scenario. I find crates work great for those who have not become extremely social yet. The safety of their “room” seems to relax them as they warm up to new surroundings.

“Jennie loves pet and cares a lot about the job and take her time in doing what best to complete the task in her best manner.”


12. Jazzlyn V.
About: I’ve been taking care of pups since I was 12 years old. I also had a passion and soft heart for animals. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach to each pet's care by helping them learn basic commands and socialize effectively, ensuring they develop good behavior from the start. I also have a strong focus on senior dogs, providing gentle care and attention to their unique needs for comfort and health. With a commitment to safety and happiness, I create a nurturing environment that gives pet owners peace of mind while they're away. I currently work part time at my local church in the children department. During the week I’m attending online school, during that free time i can definitely help pet owners who are in need of a walker. I live near high oak park great trail to walk the pups! I usually take mine everyday for their daily walks. I also travel to pantego dog park so my dogs can interact with others.


13. Hannah K.

“Great communication and happy pups. Would use again”


14. Jayda R.

“Jayda communicates well with me, she’s patient and Lilith loves her!”


15. Trang T.
“Trang took care of our precious senior dog Ariel while we were on vacation. You can tell that she is a dog lover by the way she greets Ariel for the first time. She gave us frequent updates on our dog. It really helped me not have to worry about Ariel while being away. When we arrived home, we could tell Ariel has been in good care with her feeding and her daily walks. Trang even took some pictures with Ariel, which I know is a big deal because Ariel doesn’t really like to take picture. I know I can count on Trang for the next time we are out of town.”




16. Nathalie Z.

“Nathalie did a great job taking care of my dog over the Labor Day weekend. Kona usually barks at strangers and he didn’t with Nathalie. She not only fed and watered him, she also played with him and he looked very happy in the pictures she sent. I would definitely recommend her and will use her in the future if she is available.”


17. Amanda L.
“Amanda is a very responsible and experienced pet caretaker. She's patient and loving towards pets of varying personalities and emotional/ physical needs. I believe she would be a great fit for fostering.”


18. Corrina C.

“Corrina takes great care of my property with drop by visits. She goes the extra mile!”


19. Ashley B.
“Ashley is the best pet sitter I have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much mines love her. Yes, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I never worry while I am away. She very reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communications!”


20. Skylar M.

“Our dogs are older and Skyler allowed them to stay home while we were away. She was new to Rover card so that is the only reason for a 4.”
