“Jacob has watched my senior dog multiple times. He is very kind and quick to respond. He is always sends good pic so I know my old man is getting well cared for. Will always try to rebook him for my dog”



“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t have lucked out more. Wendy was a fantastic care taker to our two cats. Her communication was spot on and the updates for each drop in visit were thorough. Can’t recommend Wendy enough!”


“Kristin did a great job taking care of our two cats. We appreciated the updates and pictures that she sent at each drop-in. We would recommend her and will hire her again in the future.”


About: As an animal person since birth I work hard to understand the specific needs and wants of each animal family member. I have worked with a wide variety of animals my whole life, in vet clinics, animal rehabs, farms, and homes. I can provide walks, hikes, senior care, interactive play time, personal attention, socialization, and general bathing and maintenance. I am incredibly intuitive and patient and pride myself in providing unique adaptive care to each pet. No pet is too big or small; too young or old! I care for all species as well. (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.) All animals deserve love and care! My work schedule is currently very flexible so most days are available at any time. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date. The safety of your pet is number one. I am more then happy to put in time to build trust with your pet. I even have a very patient dog of my own who can provide a friend to your dog or cat and help with socializing young or nervous animals. I not only care for your pet but your home. Any mess made by me or your pet I make sure to clean!

“Charlotte was able to give us several days of drop-in visits for our sometimes curmudgeonly cat on short notice, even though neither she nor we had much Rover experience. I really appreciated her open communication about that. I also appreciated her coming (on time!) for our meet and greet and how responsive she was to texts. She let us know when our cat was sick, and she cleaned up after him - the house and litterbox were tidy and our cat was content when we returned home from our trip. I would request her service again. My only negative was that one time she was late or forgot to send a photo during the visit, which made me nervous the visit had not occurred; however, when I texted to check in, she was responsive and had been here. We also had some minor confusion about whether our cat was allowed outside between visits, and small details I wish I’d left better instructions about, but on the whole I feel she really cared about doing a great job to care for our pet and to communicate with us. I hope in the future she is available to visit or housesit for both of our pets.”


“Made our kitty girls very happy over thanksgiving and gave them their own feast. Made me feel very comfortable seeing the state of their litter and food while I was away ❤️”


About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as bunnies and cats. I am also familiar with pet anxiety and protective/territorial dogs. My friends and family have also had me pet-sit for them multiple times. I currently have a part-time job that is closed on Sundays and Mondays. I usually work from around 12 PM to 6 PM at the latest and am available the rest of the day. I make sure to keep non-toys out of reach and I make sure to inspect the yard before letting pets outside. I also follow the owners’ instructions very closely. Updates are provided to owners regularly.


About: I promise to care for your fur baby the same way I would care for my own. I love both dogs and cats. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do with my free time! I have a full-time job, but have flexible hours and availability throughout the week. My schedule varies week by week and I will only accept a job if I am 100% sure I can dedicate my time to it. I have knowledge of what are unsafe living conditions for animals. I practice safe living conditions with my own pet in my everyday life. I will never put your pet in danger.

“Kayla has been truly awesome with watching my cats! She is diligent in sending daily Rover Cards with photos, and letting me know how things are going! I trust her completely with my pets!”


About: I can walk your pet, bathe your pet if needed, and also pet sit if you want me to. Just ask me, the worst I can do is say no. I am available to do pet care whenever you need me to if I have some type of notice to do so. Thank you so much. I make sure that all my animals have what they need at all times, as well as my clients pets, if they need/want it they will have it.

“I was so relieved to have found Madison. My senior rescue cat is incredibly afraid of anyone new, but I knew it was a good sign when she sniffed Madison when she reached out to her! She was gentle with her. It gave me peace of mind to see photos of my little fuzzball when I was away (even when she was hiding). I’ll definitely ask for Madison’s help again in the future.”


About: I have been regularly pet sitting for the past three years, and have sat for various friends' pets in the past. I have cared for senior pets and administered medication. I understand that having the "parents" away can be a stressful time for a pet, and I do my part to ensure that the pets are as comfortable as possible while under my care. I am an artist/freelance designer and side gig virtuoso (that's a fancy way of saying I make my own schedule). I keep things flexible to adapt to different environments. I believe that animals are healers and that we get back the care that we give to them. I am deeply grateful that I get to have the freedom that this and my other gig/freelance work allows me. I hope that is reflected in my care and respect of the clients' home.

“Shelby was very helptful and understanding of our needs, and was very good at keeping our cats fed and taken care of while we were out of town. Would recommend and come back to her next time!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid and just love animals beyond belief, i was the neighborhood pet watchers when anyone would go out of town and took care of my own dogs as well as my grandparents 3 I work from 6:30-5:30 on the weekends but willing to work around a schedule if need be. I’m very flexible and willing to converse with anyone that needs help I will treat your home and pets with respect and care like they were my own. I have a genuine love for animals and will hopefully convey that when you trust me with your pet

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I recently started working from home, which means I’m at a desk more than I’d like — so I’m turning my love for dogs into the perfect reason to get outside and stay active. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk or a slower stroll, I’m here to make sure they get the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Let me help you while your pup helps me get my steps in!! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve grown up with dogs and have cared for them for most of my life, so tending to their needs — whether it’s a walk, a meal, or some playtime — just feels like second nature. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to step away from my desk and give pets the attention they need. Walks and check-ins are a great way for me to stay active and reset my day, so fitting pet care into my routine is not only easy — it’s something I look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space and routines with respect. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, whether that’s a specific walking route, feeding schedule, or just extra belly rubs. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pay close attention to their behavior and mood so I can adjust my care if needed. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re with a trusted friend while keeping your home just as you left it.

About: I’m a college graduate. My major was in animal assisted therapy. I am cpr certified. I’m all about what is best for the animal. I love animals that is why I choose this profession. This is a passion to me not just a job. Soon I will be offering dog training services as well. I’m currently working a full time job. My schedule for that is Tuesday- Friday 9am-7pm. I will be able to care for pets take them on walks before or after my job. The days I’m off I am 100% available for dog sitting. The days I work I can still dog sit overnight. I do not offer boarding from my home, but I am open to going to the clients home for an overnight stay with the dog.

About: I’ve had many experiences pet sitting. I’ve watched anything from cats and dogs to farm animals! I often pet sit for my family members and neighbors. I have no problem cleaning up litter boxes, brushing, and even giving medications if needed! I’m currently in college and working part time. Right now i’m mostly available Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4. Summer is coming up so my availability will open up! I have no issue cleaning up after the pet and cleaning litter boxes. I can also ensure they have fresh water and if needed food at my visits.
