“I have never used a drop in service for my cat and now I couldn’t be more pleased! Daniel was a perfect match for my needs - mellow but consistent and accountable. I will definitely reach out to Rover/Daniel when I travel again! Thank you.”
About: Hello! My normal day job is in the field of wildlife biology, but I enjoy pet sitting while in between jobs. I was the primary caretaker of the dogs, cats, and other critters in my house growing up! Since then, I've fostered and boarded cats of all ages, raised kittens to be ready for adoption, and have extensive volunteer experience with dogwalking and handling dogs. While in between work contracts I am super flexible. When I am in a contract, I work in the daytime, but am free most afternoons a week for dogwalking. My work schedule is fluid, so I have some weekdays available on a case-by-case basis. Your dog will always be safely on-leash when outside, and will always have their ID info on them. The home is pet-proofed and if your pet is alone, they can be crated to make them feel safer.
About: I have taken care of a multitude of different animals for over 5 years. I can and will take care of any pet that you need watched. I’m available every day of the week for most of the day, and will house-sit if you’d like. I really love animals so this is a great schedule. I won’t board your animals, but I will do whatever you tell me to do regarding your pets. If you want me to stay over all week I will.
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have always loved being around animals. Although I am just starting out here on Rover, I have pet sat many times for friends, family, and local families in both my home and their homes. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, overnight care, and making sure pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has different needs and I always do my best to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. I’m a UF college student home for the summer with a completely open and flexible schedule! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care, whether that means walks, playtime, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight stays. I love spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. In my home, pets are supervised, given plenty of attention, and kept in a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, and routines. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I am happy to provide photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they are away.
“Kimberly was absolutely amazing with our 3 kitties! This was my first time leaving the fur babies with a sitter & I was a bit nervous leading up to our trip. But after meeting Kimberly, I felt so comfortable knowing that they had a great sitter. The kitties absolutely loved her, including our bengal who usually doesn’t warm up to new people! She sent us lots of photo & video updates every visit, and I could tell the kitties were having a fun time with her and were well taken care of. I’m so grateful for the time and care she provided while we were away. Thank you Kimberly!! ❤️ we will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Chase is an awesome dog walker and person! He is always friendly and energetic when he comes and takes our dog for a walk! We’re excited to have him for more dog walking all summer!”
About: I've taken care of many animals since I was around 10 if not younger. I obtained my Bachelor’s of Science in Animal Ecology at Iowa State University May of 2025. I have worked at three different zoos learning about animal welfare. In March I started working at the Naples Zoo in Florida. I am looking at getting more experience working and watching animals. I am extremely available and have a very flexible schedule. I do have school but not for long periods, this is helpful when it comes to watching pets. I live in a house that has plenty of space for any pets. I have a cat named Rooster that I would like to introduce to more pets if you're looking for an overnight visit.
About: I am a personal trainer and business owner, so I understand the importance of consistency, responsibility, and trust. I also have experience fostering dogs and caring for pets, and I genuinely enjoy working with animals. I provide dog walking and pet sitting services with a focus on safety, routine, and dependable care. I am active, reliable, and able to handle dogs of different sizes and energy levels. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and well looked after while you are away or busy. I treat every dog like they are my own. Pet care fits into my weekly routine alongside my personal training business. I train clients both in person and virtually, so my schedule is flexible during the day. I typically have availability in the mornings, midday gaps, and some evenings, which allows me to consistently fit in dog walks and cat visits. I plan my schedule in advance to make sure each pet gets reliable and on time care without rushing. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter care, and any instructions are done exactly as requested. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, calm, and stress free in their familiar environment. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks based on their energy level and routine. For cats, I focus on feeding, litter box cleaning, fresh water, and giving attention at their comfort level. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and updates with photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Dawn to care for our tuxedo cat, Coco, while we traveled abroad for nearly three weeks, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Dawn was communicative, thoughtful, responsible, and incredibly consistent with her check-ins. She sent regular updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind while being so far from home. What stood out most was how comfortable we felt having her in our home and caring for a cat we love so deeply. After meeting Dawn twice before our trip, we immediately felt at ease — and throughout our travels, it was clear Coco was being cared for with genuine gentleness and attention. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for cat made all the difference after an extended trip abroad. We’re so grateful for the care Dawn provided and would absolutely hire her again for “baby”-sitting duties in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable to care for their pets. :)”
“Danielle was fantastic with our Ruby. We got her during quarantine so she hasn’t been around people a lot and is shy at first. She went to Danielle right away and from then on acted like they were best buds. Danielle fed her, played with her, & left her a happy cat and us happy pet owners. Would definitely recommend.”
“If you are looking for a trustworthy and kind cat sitter, look no further than Michele. She recently watched my cat Hunter and did a phenomenal job. She sent regular updates, kept the feeding area spotless, and spent quality time playing with him.It’s such a relief knowing my home and my pet are in such capable hands.”
“Ana was by far the best cat sitter we have ever had!!! We will absolutely re-book her anytime that we leave town. She is sweet and gentle with our babies. She spent quality time with them and Ziggy and Luna fell in love with her! She was always on time and did an amazing job. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”
About: I’m someone who truly believes pets are family. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and for the past four years I’ve had my own sweet girl by my side. She’s incredibly friendly and gets along with every dog—no matter their size, personality, or energy level. My love for dogs runs deep (honestly, I love them more than humans!), and I care for every pup as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, structure, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can feel confident knowing your fur baby will be treated with patience, affection, and genuine care—just like family. I work from home full-time, so your dog will never be left alone. I can take them out for walks 2–3 times a day, or more if they need it. I have a balcony for the dogs to enjoy and a spacious apartment with plenty of room to relax. If needed, I can also set up secure, fenced-off areas for extra safety.
“Alec did a fantastic job watching our dogs while we were away. He came over beforehand to meet them and was kind, respectful, and very thorough. During our trip he sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. I really appreciate his professionalism and care, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Bears Paw pet parents share their Rover experiences
Taylor was wonderful with my dog, Stella! She provided great communication throughout the visit and sent lots of pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Stella looked happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates. I would definitely book with Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Dani was absolutely wonderful with Aspen! She was patient, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout the entire stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Aspen was well cared for and happy, and it was clear Dani genuinely enjoys what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!
If my dogs could write this review, it would be all tail wags and 5 stars!! We feel so lucky to have found Beth! She is dependable, on time, and wonderful. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my boys are with someone I trust and who cares about them! If there’s a 6 star I could give her, I would.
I hate leaving my cat, but hiring Jane and Adam to check in on her was the best decision I could have made. So thorough with all her care, attentive to her needs, willing to be flexible with the times that fit her meals, and extremely prompt with communication. The written updates and pics every morning during Adam’s visit were so enjoyed and made me feel at ease that my fur baby was in great hands. I definitely have my go to sitter now whenever I need one in this area.
Alessandra arrived early and stayed a little longer taking care of Minnie tonight and I very much appreciate that. Minnie was kept happy with Alessandra playing the fishing pole game with her which boosted her appetite and mood. She’s very interactive and enjoys company as she did with Alessandra when she played with her.
Meghan did an awesome job with Quinn. Quinn is tough in warming up to people. Even though Meghan had come by to meet Quinn before I left town and everything at that visit went great, Quinn would not let Meghan put a leash on her during the first visit to take her for a walk. Meghan kept me updated and offered to come back a few hours later. The 2nd attempt went great, thanks to Meghan’s patience and a few helpful treats. There were no further issues. I’m thankful for Meghan’s patience through it all!!
