9. Petra W.
“Petra has watched my Australian Shepard, Sydney, many times-she’s great! My pup loves her and gets so excited when she comes over. Mostly it’s just during the day, but we’ve done a few evening/nights as well, she’s very flexible. She’s able to take Sydney on lots of walks during the day and even to the dog park which makes my girl happy! Never had any issues with any of my written out routines, Petra gets her fed, walked, they play in the yard, cuddles & treats of course! She is so kind and loving towards my dog I would definitely reccomend her to others looking for a pup sitter!”

11. Lucine O.
“Luci has been incredibly responsible while staying at my house and taking care of my three dogs. She’s made sure they’re fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and affection. I’ve been impressed with how well she’s managed everything on her own, keeping the house in order and making sure the dogs are happy and safe. It’s clear she takes the responsibility seriously, and I really appreciate the care and dedication she’s shown.”


12. Blake G.
About: I have had pet dogs and cats my whole life, and they have always been a cherished part of my family. I currently live in a non-pet-friendly apartment building, so Rover gives me the opportunity to care for pets while I can’t have one of my own. I work at a warehouse on second shift, so I am gone in the evenings and head back home around 1am. When housesitting, I’m able to provide care to your pets during the day until I leave for work at 6. I will do my best to adhere to your normal routine with your pets, and ensure that they are exercised, fed, and pottied before I leave for work. It is my goal to adhere to your pets’ normal routine as much as possible. When I am watching someone’s pets for the first time, I request details about their schedule, eating and play habits, special quirks, etc so that I am prepared to give them consistent and attentive care.


13. Megan L.
“Megan was an absolute pleasure to work with. She truly has a love for animals and is patient with my senior dog! She showed him love, attention and even dealt with when he had an accident in the house. She truly is an animal lover and treated our 13 year old puggle with care. She even spent a little extra time with him due to her knowing we weren't coming home until later in the evening.”


14. Keriann D.
“I have never met an animal lover as devoted to the proper care of all creatures then Keriann. Entrusting the care of your best friend (or friends!) to Keri is an amazing choice, thanks to her passionate devotion to what's best for your pet along with her incredible breadth of knowledge about animals of all kinds. She will happily give you and your pet her genuine interest and attention. She is diligent, trustworthy and considerate- qualities that will make her a dream to work with. Whether your pup has special 'quirks' or is an easy-going lover, they will absolutely find comfort and ease in the capable care of Keriann. Give her a try and I bet your pet will have a new bestie in no time!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life including farm animals such as a goat and chickens as well as dogs cats ferrets hamsters. I currently do not have pets of my own right now but would love to spoil your pet with love and cuddles. I live in a forest type home with a very large front and backyard for your pups to run around. I go on daily walks around my neighborhood or I can drive to a nearby dog park. If you have any specific questions please feel free to let me know. I will also send updates to you with photos every couple hours or as per requested. I used to work at Petco grooming salon, and For a small additional charge I can trim your dogs nails, brush them daily, or other services.


16. Cynthia M.
About: My family has been part of Rover for 10 years and have gained a network of regular animals. I have taken care of many types and breeds of animals including my own family pets. I've had 3 dogs, 3 cats, a chinchilla, a guinea pig, and fish so I can handle most animals. Overall, I am pretty open on weekdays after 11:00 am and can do overnight stays as well. I am available all day on weekends as well. I am in an apartment that does not allow pets so I am looking to have time with animals through Rover. I miss my animals back home since I am away at college so I would never put an animal in danger since I know how important a pet can be to someones life.




17. Jaime N.
“Jaime has always treated our dogs like her own! Not only does she take great care of her own dogs, but our dogs love her. She is very caring, energetic, and very responsible. We never worry when we leave our dogs with her that they will have a loving and watchful eye on them! Her professional, yet fun, demeanor is what has gained our confidence in her ability to care for our precious pets. She is our top pick when it comes to the care of our dogs!”


18. Vanessa M.
About: I have taken care of many family and friends pets while they were away. Whether it be me staying at their home with their pet, doing visits and provide play time, feeding, providing medication, or going on walks. I am very comfortable keeping a schedule and making sure all pets are taken care of. I also have experience taking care of pets during special events, such as weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, etc. I am currently working a 9-5 Monday-friday but I do have an hour lunch. I am free anytime before or after work and all day on the weekends. I have a fenced half an acre yard with 1 friendly dog. There are 2 extra rooms in the home so boarding and providing space is not an issue.


19. James F.
“James (Jim) is kind and has a great time with my two dogs. He is responsible, trustworthy, and keeps in communication so you know what your pet is up to while you are away. My dogs are happy when "uncle Jim" is taking care of them and it is peace of mind for me.”


20. Diana A.
“I highly recommend Diana for pet sitting! I have had her keep my dog’s on several occasions. She is kind, punctual and my three girl’s love her! I have recommended her to several people and they all give her compliments. Diana is trust worthy and I have no worries when I leave my fur babies with her🐾❤️”
