“Nicole is truly exceptional! Originally booked to care for our two senior dogs and parrot, we sadly had to say goodbye to our girl Ivy just before our trip. This loss left Patron, our remaining dog, particularly needy and anxious. Nicole went above and beyond to shower him with love and attention, ensuring he never felt alone. She did such a remarkable job that when we returned, we found Patron waiting for her in the guest room—clearly, he adored her! Thank you, Nicole, for your unwavering dedication to our pets, including our parrot Frida. Your care and support were invaluable during this difficult time. We also appreciate how immaculate you left our home. We will definitely be booking your services again soon!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Maddy! She recently watched our 2 dogs at our house while my husband and I went on a trip. She sent plenty of pictures, updates and gave our pups lots of love. We were so thankful for Maddy and it gave us great peace of mind to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away!”
“Melissa was incredible. It was our first time having a housesitter and Melissa exceeded our expectations. We got multiple updates and photos each day without having to ask. Our house was immaculate and our puppy was happy. So grateful for Melissa!”
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s been a part of my life for 20 years. I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old, currently care for 5 of my own, and have even helped deliver and care for 2 litters of puppies. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of pets at every stage of life. While dogs are my specialty, I genuinely love all animals and am happy to care for a variety of pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. That’s why I prioritize safety, attention, and plenty of love, treating every pet in my care as if they were my own! 🐾 While I do work full time, pet care fits naturally into my schedule because it’s something I truly love. I have flexibility throughout the week and am available before and after work, on weekends, and for many drop-in visits or walks. I’m committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special requests. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and will communicate with owners regularly through updates and photos for peace of mind. As someone who has owned dogs my entire life and currently has 5 of my own, I understand that every pet is unique. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and strive to provide a stress free, positive experience for both pets and their owners.
“Daniel took care of our two boys while we were away. He gave them lots of love and attention providing us with daily photos. He was very respectful of house rules. We will be using him in future.”
“Hailey was amazing! She is so kind and professional. My girls loved her! She took such great care of them. She communicated, sent updates, and pictures. Reached out with any questions or concerns. She went over and above taking care of my house, leaving it very clean. I am so happy I found her.”
“Michael was AWESOME! Because of some behavior issues with our dogs, boarding them wasn't an option. This was our first vacation since COVID so our dogs had never been left alone. As you can imagine, we were nervous to find someone whom we trusted with our precious dogs. We had no reason to worry. Michael took the time to meet with us and our dogs before our trip. We reviewed routines and familiarized him to our home. During our vacation he kept in contact with us by messaging questions and updates with pictures. He was even able to get our dogs to let him put on their harnesses and go for walks (previously they only let us do that). Needless to say we felt very at ease knowing Michael was caring for them. We will definitely be using Michael again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a giant breed dog and three cats, currently have two cats of my own, and I am an animal shelter volunteer! I’m comfortable with dogs of any size and temperament (both laid-back cuddle bugs and high-energy dogs that need extra exercise and attention). Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make their time with me stress-free and fun! I just graduated college and my full time job doesn’t start until mid July, so other than the occasional hanging out with friends, I have a wide open schedule! I am extremely flexible and will follow the owner’s usual routine as much as possible. I am comfortable with leashed walks as well as supervising dogs in fenced yards — I will not walk dogs off-leash or leave unsupervised in yards. I am happy to take dogs on adventures or just chill, but for the most part I am happy to do whatever the owner prefers!
About: When I was 14 I got surprised with cat named Alexis she was a foster cat that had been through 6 families me and her bonded instantly and we’re inseparable. Since I’ve gotten my cat I have wanted to expand my experience on animals and started working with dogs and cats, my love for dogs was already so big but growing bonds with some of my dogs that come in daily or stay for a while has moved my whole perspective and I’ve branched out on taking vet classes to get my certification. As I worked there and became a lead I have learned to detect anxiety and illness health, notice when dogs are ready to be alone and need some space from the environment they are in, I am trained in how to administer meds to dogs and cats if needed. I am fully available to watch at anytime and drop off so this would cause no inconvenience for me to take care and provide for the animals I know how to do crate control and training without heavy reinforcement, I always double check doors, fences, locks because some dogs can manage to break free from certain areas and I keep a good eye out for the animals and keep them as entertained as possible
About: I’ve cared for my own animals and provided dog walking and pet sitting services for a few years now with a playful loving environment and good routine. I am available 5 to 6 days out of the week for overnight care/routine walks and meals and also just quick check-ins if needed as well I care for pets in their own home to reduce stress and keep a calm environment. I follow all instructions as given, keep doors and gates secured while giving routine updates to owner(s).
“Angelica did a fabulous job watching my Aussidoddle and my Sheltie. Would highly recommend her for house sitting She watched my babies for a week while we were on vacation and sent us a bunch of pictures.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, big and small! I have extensive experience with all types of breeds, from chihuahuas to German shepherds. I loved animals and enjoy taking care of them. I currently work 7am-3pm Monday-Friday and occasionally 8am-4pm but I am available on the weekends at all times! I am also able to walk, feed, etc. your pet before my weekday job! I live in a wooded-area, so great for dogs to explore and get active, on a leash of course. My other pets are also very friendly and have never had a problem with other animals.
“Lexi took outstanding care of all 5 of our cats - we have a complex feeding routine and medication schedule and she did great managing both! Will definitely book with her again :)”
“Evelyn was great! She even came for two meet and greets and was undeterred by my rescue dog Roxy’s difficult behavior during the introductions. She managed the fact that my three dogs have different needs very well, and was communicative. I’d highly recommend her, especially if you’re worried about leaving an anxious dog with a sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of so many dogs since i was 12. I use to work for pet care and got cpr training from there too. Im always active, i love walking, lifting, and being on the move for work. Walking dogs and playing with them, that makes me so happy. I will always walk them at their speed and play as much as they want. Making sure they’re safe, and making sure they’re comfortable too.
“Zamiya was absolutely outstanding, very communicative and took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely book with her again!!! I never had to wonder how my baby was doing because she kept me updated with pics and videos which I loved because I didn't have to reach out to see how he was doing. I already knew!!”
About: I took care of my neighbors dogs while she was away. I've house sat before and I enjoy long and or short walks with any dog! I'm home from school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to walk and over house sit! I'm free in the mornings and afternoon, 7 days a week. I can walk your dog as far as you would like and will spend as much time with your dog as necessary! I enjoy staying active and don't mind taking your dog for runs as well!
About: Hello! My name is Lauryn, and I can't wait to meet your fuzzy friends. I have cared for dogs both personally and professionally since I was 12 years old. I currently live with my rescue pitbull/terrier mix who I love more than anything. I'm comfortable taking dogs for long and varied walks, as well as providing at home enrichment and care. I believe all pets deserve love exactly the way they are, and no friend is too "difficult" to deserve love. I know pet care requires great trust, and I won't take that lightly. Thank you for getting to know a little bit about me, and I hope to get to know more about your pet soon! I am a teacher, so I have lots of summer availability. I can offer daily and nightly house visits, walks and care. I also accept same day bookings. If you select me to help take care of your loved ones in your home, I promise to treat your space and your pet(s) with the same respect I treat my classroom and home. I prioritize cleanliness, organization and attentiveness while in others homes and while caring for their fuzzy friends.
Canova pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emma is the absolute best! We were so excited when she was available to watch our dog and cats for over a week. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the week, and our babies seemed to enjoy themselves a lot, and were so happy when we got back! We would definitely recommend Emma to anyone looking for a good reliable sitter to leave their pets with!
Alexis was awesome! She responded quickly to messages and kept us updated with how our cat was doing through our vacation. Our cat can be very hesitant and intimidating in his behavior with new people - Alexis came right in without hesitation and put us to ease that she would work around him. I would absolutely recommend Alexis to someone in the area looking for a cat sitter. We will definitely look to Alexis next time we need cat sitting services!
Shannon was Great. My Sammy warmed up to her immediately and excited to see her each time she came. She kept me informed and sent pictures of my boy often. Made sure she was him if a thunderstorm rolled in because he gets extremely nervous with the sound of thunder and lightning. I would use her again without any hesitation!
