About: I own my own cat sanctuary, I feed an army of stray cats in my backyard. I have fostered newborn kittens. I was also a dog bather for a little over a year. I have full flexibility and availability in my schedule, I am currently unemployed looking to make this my full time job. I can come over at any time of the day. In a clients house I will feed the animal and let them go outside/walk them. Make sure your pet didn’t make any accidents in the house and clean up any mess that is made. I will also make sure your cuddly friend gets lots of attention and love.
“Presley did an incredible job watching my 6 animals. The house was super clean and everyone was so happy and seemed well taken care of when I got home. I will definitely book with her in the future!”


About: I have worked in the pet care industry for over 7 years as a pet groomer, bather, and kennel tech. I particularly enjoy working with senior and special needs pets, and I have experience working with a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to mice and ferrets. Long-term, I am going back to school to pursue an advanced degree in animal behavior, and to become a certified applied animal behaviorist, which means using what I've learned about how animals communicate and behave to improve their relationships with people. I currently have full-time availability, which means I am able to work around your busy schedule! Whether you need someone to stop by for a mid-afternoon potty break or a house-sitter for a week, I am available! I believe consistency and routine is key to helping your fur baby feel comfortable while you're gone. If they are used to going out at a certain time and then eating breakfast, I want to make sure there are as few changes to their schedule as possible. I also want you to feel as comfortable as possible, which means picture and text updates as often as you'd like!
“Maddison was fantastic! She communicated with us constantly and kept us updated. We returned home to extremely happy pups and a house tidier than when we left it. Looking forward to having her watch our dogs in the future again. We would absolutely recommend!”
“Krystal was a superb caretaker for our dog Jinny! Our dog warmed up to her right away and Krystal gave us peace of mind throughout the day by sending photos. We hope that she will be available for the next time we need someone to take care of our dog:)”


“Kayla was absolutely wonderful taking care of our two big dogs. She exuded kindness, earnestness, and responsibility. While we were gone, she sent daily pictures and updates. Upon our return, while our dogs were very happy to see us, they were very attentive to her as well. Our house was clean and neat and the dogs were as well. She took them on daily walks and allowed our younger one to sleep with her. We could not be more satisfied with Kayla and highly recommend her without any reservations.”

“Amber stayed at my house and took care of my dog, cat and lizard for 4 days. I felt comfortable having her at my home and she took great care of my pets! I would highly recommend her!”

“Not sure who liked her more our dog or us!!! Sammie is amazing! Followed the directions for our dog down to the very finest detail. She communicates often and clearly and took care of everything we needed. We highly recommend Sammie and will calling her in the future!”

“Aliya has been great with our pups and available on short notice. Our guys are a bit high maintenance, one is vision impaired and the other has seizures. We’re grateful that Aliya has been open to working with these challenges.”

“Jeremiah was wonderful. He took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Raven and Loki were very comfortable with Jeremiah from their first meeting. I believe they had a nice relaxing vacation while we were on our trip. 🙂”

“What a great young woman. I was very nervous about leaving my 16 year old dog because she can’t hear and her vision is not good. Ariana gained her trust and took very good care of her. I. Would not hesitate to use her again..She even cooked food for her when what I left ran out! I would like to leave her a $50 tip”

“Madison was absolutely wonderful!! She has watched our pack of 4 dogs and 2 cats twice now and we felt safe each time knowing our animals were in great care. She even got our very nervous dog to warm up to her and snuggle her! I highly recommend Madison for any pet sitting, we will be using her again in the future for sure!”

“I had to go out of town at the last minute. A friend suggested Rover. Ander was available for a last minute stay. We met to see how Ander and Willy would be. I was very surprised at how comfortable Willy was. I am grateful for the care and attention he gave to Willy. I will happily be a repeat customer. I also appreciate that he only has one “family” of pets at a time. Thank you Ander for going out of your way to help us.”

Danielle stayed in my home for 5 days with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. She took great care of them- one of my dogs needed unexpected antibiotics which she just worked into their routine with ease. The house was in perfect order upon my return, my animals happy and healthy. Fantastic job and lots of pictures and feedback! Thank you so much Danielle!

Evelyn is fantastic! ❤️ We definitely will recommend her and we will book again soon with her! She is sweet, responsible, professional and communicative. My dog Leo was sick and she took care of him. This gave us so much peace while we were traveling. She send us videos and photos and that was a plus! Thank you Evelyn

We had Kayla housesit for us for over a week. She made sure to communicate and send pictures regularly, which helped us feel good about being so far from home. She was great with our cat and dog. It was clear that she enjoys spending time with animals and made sure our little creatures were played with and given plenty of attention. She was very responsible with the house and went above and beyond to make sure everything was easy for us when we got home. Thank you, Kayla!

We’re so glad we found Elizabeth! We felt at ease leaving the dogs with them because they are caring. They sent updates, pictures, and videos of our dogs which gave us peace of mind. We were a little bit worried because one of our dogs is a rescue who does not trust people immediately, but he felt so comfortable with Elizabeth and they were great with him. We’re lucky to have found Elizabeth on rover and hope to have them watch our dogs again in the future! Thank you Elizabeth!

Laurie stayed with our two yellow labs for 10 days and nights. She has always been very responsive since the first time we reached out to her. I loved getting her updates and pictures of the boys while we had to be away from them. As our travel plans experienced some uncertainty, she was as flexible as possible. I am confident our furry kids we well cared for in our absence, which makes it so much easier when we are not able to take them with us.
Hannah took excellent care of my 3 pets while I was away. She walked my dog multiple times a day and offered to help even on the day I returned. She sent me lots of pictures and made sure I was in the know of what was going on with my animals and home. My house was also in excellent shape and felt like she was super considerate with her stay!! Thank Hannah!

I was so nervous to leave my pups for the first time with a sitter. However, I was so happy and pleasantly surprised to have Kayla as our dog sitter for the first time. She spent so much time with the puppies and was very attentive to their needs. Sending lots of pictures while we were on vacation. I will absolutely be using her hopefully in the future if she’s available. I would highly recommend her to anybody who wants somebody who will truly care for their animals.
