“We had Kelly housesit and watch our dog and cat while we were out of town for 5 days, and she did amazing. Lots of pictures, very communicative, everything was left clean and the girls had so much fun. She went above and beyond, definitely would recommend.”

Kelly L.

“After our regular sitter of 3 years stopped sitting we were so worried. Then we found Darci. She was wonderful. She was very communicative and responsive. She just really got Carlos and his little quirks. He quickly warmed up to her and after the first few days I found myself not even worrying anymore. I highly recommend her and look forward to her sitting for Carlos again in the future.”

“Samuel communicated with me quickly after my booking request. He was attentive to the needs of my pets which allowed me to feel reassured while I was away. My dog loved his walks. I would recommend Samuel for your pet needs.”

About: Hello. I am a lifelong dog owner and dog carer. I have owned a Brittany Spaniel, and a Shischon from puppy-stage through the end of their lives. Currently I care for a senior Lab and middle-aged German Shephard/Rotweiler mix, both belonging to my daughter who lives in Jacksonville with her husband and my 18-month old grand-son with another expected in November. I've been a Rover client and sitter off and on since 2018. I've not been active for almost 5 years during which time I've worked as a freelance researcher on almost a full-time basis. The demand for that work is shifting and I want to return to dog/house-sitting to supplement my income. I am comfortable walking, visiting and house-sitting small- and medium-size dogs, including senior dogs, and am experienced with giving medicine. I have a BS in Business Administration and 30+ years of work experience in the legal services industry. I am a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. I love to walk outside, grill, and sit beside a fire. I'm an SEC fan, so fall is my favorite time of year! I want to acknowledge the one negative client review regarding a client's senior dog. I was hired for drop-in visits . I let time get away from me for two visits. One of the things that Rover does well is notify dog owners know when their sitter/carer is onsite. The owner notified me when I did not arrive within a reasonable time of the scheduled time and I immediately went to the client site. The dog was fine but the owner was obviously alarmed and terminated the relationship. I take full responsibility for those lapses and they will not happen again. I ask for the opportunity to meet you and your pet and discuss if this is a good fit for us all. Kind regards, Suzanne I am a freelance researcher and work remotely from home. I have full schedule flexibility enabling me to meet your pets' daily schedule for feeding and walks. I am able to be present in my client's home throughout the day and night, available to your pet(s) as needed. I enjoy taking them for walk, playing with them and cuddling with them. I'm generally good with letting them sleep with me, depending on their size and temperament.

About: I absolutely love dogs and am always happy to give them the attention they need! Whether they’re looking for someone to run around and play with, go on an adventure, or simply curl up and get endless belly rubs, I’m there for them. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know their personality and figuring out exactly what makes their tail wag! I am currently part-time so I have extra time to spend providing care to your fur babies! However even when I am full-time, I have a flexible schedule! I make sure their environment is safe and remains safe! I want them to stay in their routine and feel comfortable in their own home!

About: Hi there! 🐾 I know how much your pets mean to you, because I feel the same way. When I’m with your furry family, they get all the love, snuggles, and attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and cute photos so you never miss a moment. With me, your pets aren’t just looked after—they’re loved like family. Pets are already part of my daily routine thanks to my roommates and family—I’m always surrounded by furry friends. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or just hanging out, I naturally build pet care into my day. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, and it keeps me active, patient, and mindful. Caring for pets outside my home feels like a natural extension of what I already do every day. 🐾❤️ I know how important trust is when it comes to caring for your pet and your home. I take time to get to know each pet at their own pace, follow their usual routine, and keep everything tidy and comfortable. I’ll always respect your house rules, send you daily updates, and treat your pets like family. With me, you can feel confident that both your home and your furry loved ones are in safe, caring hands🐕🐕‍🦺🐩🐈‍⬛🐈

“I hired Anver to take care of my 5 year old maltipoo for 4 days while I was visiting family in PA. I had been very impressed with her reviews on Rover, and I knew from the moment we did the meet and greet that she was the one for Tucker! He bonded with her instantly, and her kind personality made him feel very comfortable. He was very upset when she had to leave that day lol!! I left her a long note since this was the 1st time I had left my fur baby with someone from Rover, and she followed it without any problem. She does work part time, but she was able to work her schedule around him. If she was getting to my house a little later than expected, she always let me know. She sent me tons of pictures and videos, so I never worried how he was doing. He slept with her and he looked so content; he doesn't even do that with me!! She is very respectful and sweet. I was so impressed with how gentle she was with Tucker. He looked happy and healthy when I came home; I was almost worried he would be sad it was me and not her!! She brought in the mail and stripped the guest room bed! She washed all her dishes and I found the house in the same condition I left it. She is studying to be a vetinary technician, and I think she will be an excellent one!! I am so impressed with her that I hired her again for a trip I'm taking in 2 weeks!! I would highly recommend Amber to stay with your pets. She is a very caring and responsible pet sitter and I know you will not be disappointed!!”

“Pete did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away! Even our bashful cat Petunia succumbed to his charms. Pete sent us photos multiple times while we were gone. It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.”

“Ryan was able to accommodate us last minute for two separate days that we had to be out of town for the whole day. He is responsive and will update you when he arrives and leaves.”

About: I’m new to Rover, but caring for animals is a familiar and meaningful part of my life. I have cared for dogs of many different breeds and personalities, and my family and I have helped rescue more than a dozen dogs and cats, care for them, and find them loving homes. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, preferences, and comfort level so I can provide thoughtful, dependable care. I follow your instructions closely and aim to make your dog feel secure and welcome while you’re away. For boarding, I welcome only one dog or one household’s dogs at a time. This allows me to give your pets my undivided attention and provide a calm, personal experience. I have a resident cat, and if your dog is not comfortable around cats, I will keep my cat in a separate room throughout the stay. I’m retired, which gives me the flexibility to make pet care a priority throughout the day. I can plan feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest around your dog’s usual routine. My home has a fenced yard, and a nearby park offers another option for walks, depending on your dog’s needs and comfort level. I board only one dog or one household’s dogs at a time, so your pets receive my undivided attention while you’re away. I follow your feeding and care instructions and provide regular potty breaks and walks suited to your dog. Outdoor time in my fenced yard is supervised. I have a resident cat. If your dog does not get along with cats, I will keep my cat safely in a separate room throughout the stay, with no direct contact between them. Before a booking, we will discuss your dog’s behavior, routines, and any special needs to make sure my home is a good fit.

“Heather did a great job caring for our 2 high energy dogs for 10 days. When we came home our dogs were content and happy! She sent us many great photos while we were away and kept us well informed.”

“Taylor did a great job making our shy cat feel comfortable and loved while we were out of town. Very neat house sitter too! Thank you, Taylor!”

About: I have 5 decades of experience with my own pets and sitting for many neighbors and friends pets. I believe everyone has that one pet that has stolen their heart. For me that was Nalah, our Chorkie for over a decade. I’m recently retired and have a lot of availability. This is in addition to having a huge love for animals. They are the best. All my neighborhood cats and dogs come to me when I walk the hood. I have a fenced yard and am on guard when pets are outside. I provide constant supervision inside and out. You can rest assured that with me a safe environment is a priority!

About: The reason I thought about being a pet sitter is I have been doing it for free for many years and why not sit for other people. I would like to take advantage of not being a full time pet owner and being a remote worker. This way I can focus on your family pets with no distractions and have an adventure at the same time. I am kind of new to Rover but have been a TrustedHousesitters and had 7-5 star reviews. I am in telephone sales, so can work on my own schedule. I am available to take care of your animal in your home, walk in the morning, and evening, feedings, and playtime. I do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable and calm. I like to take them for a walk in the morning, late afternoon, and evening but will accommodate extra walks if needed, especially puppies. I want them to be happy and do what I can to do this.

“Savannah recently house sat and took care of our two dogs. She was quick to respond, made time to come do a meet and greet and followed thru on taking exceptional care of them. She provided daily photos/updates and gave us comfort knowing our dogs were in great hands while we traveled. We will definitely be reaching out to Savannah again for future dog sitting.”

“Awesome sitter who took great care of my pups! Very communicative with lots of pictures and spent a lot of time at the house!”

About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.

About: I am genuinely devoted to help you out as much as possible, I am very understanding in different needs for different for babies. I love staying active and going on walks and I know how much it means to keep your children safe. I am currently working a part-time job so I have plenty of time for your fur babies just let me know your schedule before hand and I will make it work I’m a very trusted/prompt at my services. I will always go above and beyond and treat your babies as if they were mine! i promise
