About: I am such an animal person- they are the best friends and sweetest creatures. I’m incredibly passionate about animal caretaking; I love meeting people’s pets and getting to know their personalities and quirks. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young; I dogsat for families in my neighborhood and took care of my two cats. Before she passed, I took care of my senior cat Jasmine, so I also have experience in senior animal care. I currently walk, feed and take care of dogs in the local area while I work as a teaching assistant and master's student at NMSU. Additionally, I volunteer at a local animal shelter to take care of and keep company furry friends! Pet care is an important part of my routine; its good exercise and being around animals is one of my favorite things. Sometimes the best part of my day is when I get to meet a little friend! I really enjoy spending time with them outside as well. Before animal sitting, I make sure I go over the pet’s needs with the owner, any triggers, boundaries and environmental hazards. I make sure to be cleanly and efficient while making sure that the pet feels comfortable and engaged with!

About: Knowing your pets are a part of your family, its my intentions to provide an opportunity for your pet to at its best. That means learning your pets personality and needs. My Career also entails skills with animals care specifically for sick animals, not that I am veterinary doctor, meaning I help deal with acute health issues. Being a good listener and observer due to my Scientific Career it's only a matter of time before you realize that you pet just might be excited to visit, and even more happier to return to you. Thanks for asking. My work has very set routine. Therefore when I start a project I know the days that I am available throughout its completion due to having to let processes develop on their own. So I am able to designate time for pet sitting in a routine manner and flexible manner. If I know my clients needs, I can adjust my work accordingly. Thanks for asking. My apartment is definitely animal friendly, with only on carpeted room. I will always notify the owner or any health issue, and with coordinate with the owner emergency protocols. Outside, there is a waterfront your pet can visit for walks, large yards that the pet can explore, and even an enclosed area where your pet can be unleashed so they can get a chance to roam free if ever necessary. As far as individual animal routines for food and walks are concerned, I would only take on a job if I was able to provide the animal with its precise schedule. I find animals are more confident when they know what to expect. Thanks for asking.

“Cassidy was great taking care of our little boy rook. You got constant updates with photos and he appeared to be having time of his life playing ball outside like we usually do. She gave us updates on everything you did by a phone message along with all the pictures and the videos that she sent. We had never left a little boy alone before because he always came with us and we were always concerned about leaving him with somebody else without us. Definitely have good faith in Rover right now and will you be using them again. Have another upcoming trip planned and you should be able to stay at our house taking care of rook for in about 2 to 3 days.”

“Second time utilizing Crystal’s services and she totally rocks. Definitely put my mind at ease that my cats were in good hands while I was traveling and greatly appreciated the daily updates and pictures!”

Kira G.

“Our cats were well taken care of and happy when we returned. We would have Amanda watch the cats again and recommend her.”

Chelsea L.

“Isabel is so sweet! She helped me last minute and also accommodated a virtual meet and greet for me. I had a repair man in my apartment while I was away and she voluntarily stayed to keep an eye on things and give my cat more loving. Thank you Isabel!!”

Danielle K.

“Did exactly what was expected and kept me in the loop with really cute pictures everyday.”

About: I have a dog of my own at home and also lived with a dog in my college apartment! I have no issues playing with energetic dogs or hanging out and chilling too! I have worked extensively with my friend who is in vet school with her cats and her foster dogs and feel comfortable in many situations. I will spoil your babies rotten!! I attend RWU Law School during the week but have light days Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and can come to relieve pets or hang out for a little! I have plenty of homework to do and can do that while snuggling with your pet! I am free most weekends as well. I work very hard to create a good relationship with the family of the dog as well as the dog themselves. Everything is up to the family and whatever they are comfortable with. I am comfortable with staying over, bringing the dog out for walks or a drive or coming over to feed the dog and give them lots of love!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 8 years! I have sat for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and more! I am always up for the task when it comes to animals! From longs walks to outdoor play I am your girl! If your dog likes going on adventures and likes the car I am your girl. As well as having three days off during the week and working brunch on Saturdays I have a lot of free time to spend with your pets! Open to overnights, pop in's or just walks! Making sure pets get the most attention possible is a priority to me. Snuggles and toys is the most important part. If your pet is comfortable. I am only available to stay in clients homes.

“I was worried about booking through Rover but am so glad I did! She accommodated my last minute booking when the family friend sitter fell through. Sarah did a great job with my very high maintenance dog. She sent me pictures and kept me updated the whole time. My dog needed a special anal gland treat because of her health issues and Sarah was patient and kind giving it to her. Unfortunately, my dog has accidents often but Sarah was understanding and cleaned it up. I seriously think my floor is cleaner now than it was before.”

“Megan is patient and was understanding of Gidget’s needs directly. I am very thankful! She is also prompt and professional, which I appreciate very much. I would recommend her without reservation.”

About: Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing long walks or a senior pet requiring medication, I am comfortable, patient, and prepared. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience while you are away. I work from home, so your baby will get nonstop attention and cuddles! I do have a fenced in yard and do not require dogs to be crate trained. I always prioritize your dog’s specific needs—whether that’s gentle walks for seniors or active play for puppies. I work from home/have a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present with your dog/cat. I treat every pet like they are part of my family and always focus on both your pet’s mental and physical exercise. I ensure a safe environment by keeping fresh water available, maintaining a clean space, and checking that all gates are secure. I do allow your pet to sleep on my bed unless instructed otherwise. I send photo/video updates and follow your feeding/medication instructions as well as any others given. I do allow meet & greets at my house if preferred!

About: Here to help you and your best buds! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. On top of that, I volunteer at dog shelters, which has given me experience with a wide range of temperaments—from shy and anxious dogs to very energetic ones. That’s helped me become really patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s behavior and needs. I love keeping dogs active and happy! Activities can include walks around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, games like fetch or tug-of-war, and lots of attention and companionship. I always tailor activities to each dog’s energy level and personality—whether that means a long walk, light play, or just relaxing and cuddling. I have experience caring for many different dogs with a wide range of energy levels and personalities. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve worked with dogs through other platforms and feel very comfortable adjusting to each dog’s needs. If your dog is in training, I’m happy to reinforce those routines so they stay consistent! I’m especially comfortable with puppies and senior dogs. I understand the consistency and structure puppies need when it comes to routines, basic training, and reinforcing good habits. With senior dogs, I’m very gentle and mindful of their pace, mobility, and any special care instructions, including medications if needed. What really sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I don’t just “watch” them—I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I’m currently a part-time nursing student and usually do my schoolwork from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. Being home most of the time also allows me to stick closely to their normal routine and provide consistent care. Additionally, I work part-time in the emergency room just 5 minutes from my home, which allows me to provide consistent check-ins throughout the day or night. I’m able to take breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I have a fully fenced yard and a 2-year-old neutered Cockapoo named Tobey, who truly thinks every dog he meets is his best friend. He’s super friendly, playful, and loves having other pups around to keep him company. I live with my parents, who are just as obsessed with animals as I am, so your dog will basically have a whole team of people giving them attention, love, and check-ins all day long. Between all of us, your pup will never feel bored or alone! I will treat and respect your home the same way I would want someone to treat mine, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own.

“Sam was incredible. What was supposed to be a simple booking turned into my cat getting sick three days before my trip and needing medicine twice a day the entire time I was gone. Sam helped me feel at ease like my cats were in good hands the whole time, and was super communicative with everything. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

Quinn C.

“Jonathan was very attentive to our pets and had excellent communication before and during the drop ins. Thank you for taking such great care of our pets!”

Kyle L.

“Hunter is the best!! We hadn’t needed care for the dogs in a little while, we reached out to Hunter to re-connect and she’s as reliable and kind as ever! The dogs couldn’t have been more excited to see her again, they adore her (as do we). We highly highly recommended booking Hunter to care for your pets!”

Haley A.

“Jaylynn was professional, always on time, and my dogs absolutely loved her! This was the first time I ever used this site and was very apprehensive. All my worries went away! She was attentive with the needs of my dogs and I loved her daily reports! I definitely recommend her and will be asking for her again!”

About: I’m a law student at RWU with a flexible schedule and would love to help care for your pets! I recently finished a three-week dog-sitting stay in the owners’ home and can provide references. I love going on walks and spending time with dogs, and I’m also a dog mom myself to a dachshund back home in Texas I'm home for the summer from school and have pretty open availability, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m flexible throughout the day and can easily adjust to meet the needs of different pets and schedules—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, so it fits naturally into my routine this summer. I only provide care in the client’s home, which I find helps pets feel more comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. When I’m in someone’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk schedules, playtime preferences, and any special needs or medications. I make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always do my best to keep them happy and stress-free while their owners are away. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to send updates and photos during visits as well!

About: I have been caring for dogs and other animals for most of my life. I started when I was 13 and have never stopped. I have a rescue of my own and view her as part of my family; I know exactly what it means to care for pets on a daily basis. I believe that trust between the owner, pet, and carer is so important, and will do my best to make you feel confident your furry family member is taken care of correctly and with lots of love. I also have training and confidence-building experience with all ages and personalities. I only use positive-based training methods. I am comfortable with reactive dogs! I am comfortable with fearful or nervous dogs. I can give medication or potty-train, no problem. I currently stay at home and would be solely dedicated to caring for your pups! I have no obligations that would interfere with any schedules or timely needs that you or your pet may have. I am very flexible! I have a very friendly dog at home, however, she does go to work with my partner some days. My dog is high-energy and goes for long walks with lots of sniffing! She also gets 1-2 hours of exercise in a large fenced-in yard of a family member every day. If your dog is high energy we can meet those needs! (Don't worry low-energy dogs, I see you too & you can snooze as much as you want to)
