“Jose was responsive in communicating both before and during the booking. He offered to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which I really appreciated given the short time frame. He was attentive to the details, and took great care of my cat Olive. I would book him again.”
About: I am a big advocate for animals especially around the subject that animals are family. I view the pets in my life as my family. I will treat your pet as if they were a part of my family and shower them with love! I currently work full time but I work a hybrid schedule during the week and I am in school for my masters. This will not impact my care for your pets I have a 5 year old cat and she has all of the toys she needs and I can get toys for animals I sit as well.
“Kendall was a great cat sitter - communicative, attentive, and easily got along with my cat! I was so thankful he was available during the holidays to watch over her. He was my first experience with Rover, and he made it a great first experience!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 12 years now! I am very loving, dependable and attentive. I provide a safe, nurturing and fun environment. I work part time right on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:45-5:45, but I do have a lot of free time to care for pets and spend time with them!! I treat every pet like my own. The environment is very safe and there is a lot of grass areas to walk and run around!
About: Hi! I’m Tamara, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life 🐾 I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—their personalities, their quirks, and just making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I always try to tailor care to each pet’s needs. Whether that’s long walks, playtime, sticking to a specific routine, or just keeping them company and giving lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and stress-free. I’ve had experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and needs, and I’m very attentive to details like feeding routines, medications (if needed), and behavior changes. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I work in a way that allows me to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member 💛 I’m currently y working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I have plenty of dog and cat toys to play with, grooming stuff etc. I have a partially fences yard and a medium size dog and 3 cats to keep your babies company. If I come to your house, I make sure I follow your instructions closely
About: Since birth I've always had pets. From dogs,Cats and reptiles but dogs will forever have my heart. I’m a huge sucker for big dogs I’ve had cane corso and husky my whole life. I work from home so I am the definition of flexible. I can regularly fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine as I do with my own pet. I provide a happy , safe, and healthy stay for my/your dog whether that means taking them on a walk, making/feeding them healthy treats !
About: As a dedicated cat lover, I know that cats are most comfortable when their routines, territory, and personal boundaries are respected. Whether your cat is an outgoing socializer who wants immediate playtime or a sensitive soul who needs a quiet presence and time to warm up, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. I focus on providing low-stress, highly reliable drop-in visits and care. I understand that subtle changes in a cat's behavior or appetite matter, and I pay close attention to the small details that keep them feeling safe and happy while you are away. I’m currently retired after 27 years as a federal civil servant. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry family members and house sitting needs. I am experienced in managing multi-cat dynamics, tracking wellness routines, and creating a calm, predictable environment. I would love to schedule a free meet-and-greet to get to know you and your cats before booking.
“Our meet and greet with Amber went perfectly. They knew just what to do to put our nervous dog at ease And clearly have great judgement and experience. We're looking forward to working with Amber in the future.”
About: I grew up tagging along with my mom to dog shows, so I’ve spent time around all kinds of breeds and personalities. And yes—dog show life is pretty similar to the movie Best in Show! That background has given me a great understanding of canine instincts and temperaments, and I do my best to accommodate each dog’s unique needs so they feel completely comfortable. I started pet sitting for family friends as a teenager, and I’ve continued doing it ever since. I have experience caring for senior pups as well as dogs with medical or special needs. I truly believe every dog is an individual, and I tailor my care to match their personality and routines. I also have experience with aquariums, rodents, reptiles, and birds, so if you have additional small or exotic pets, I’m happy to care for them too. My kids (ages 7 and 11) live with me and are wonderful with dogs. Because of this, any pup we board should be kid-friendly. We also share our home with Mr. Mittens, our laid-back cat, who has lived peacefully with many dogs. If preferred, he can be kept separate during your pet’s stay. I think I was born in a whelping box.... or at least near one. My mother has shown dogs my whole life, and I grew up going to dog shows. I have extensive knowledge of a variety of dog breeds and love working with a full spectrum of dogs. I have personally lived with retrievers, shepherds, Portuguese water dogs, hounds, and pugs, and a variety of quirky mutts. I am currently without a dog and would love to spread some of my misplaced adoration to your pets. My experience administering medication I have administered pills, shots, ear/eye drops, creams, etc. over the years. I also owned a dog who went blind, and I have a soft spot for special-needs dogs. On the first day your pet is with us, I pay close attention to what they are interested in and adjust things as needed.
About: When I was 15, I had my first puppy named Marshmallow, a very handsome grey & white Shih Tzu. Since then, I've had this massive love for pets. I have babysat my friends and family dogs, including a pitbull, a golden doodle, a cat, a labrador, a pomeranian, and a disabled terrier. I will take care of them with lots of love & compassion. I can guarantee great on-time care for them. I'm a full-time student in college looking for a part-time job that smoothly fits into my week. Also, creating my own schedule is something that comes in handy on busy school days. I would take your dog on long & lovely walks, keep them well-fed, work on possibly getting them to new tricks & make sure things stay clean.
About: I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they enjoy long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra patience, and gentle care. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a daily walk, or overnight care, I make it a priority to provide dependable, loving care while keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions so they can stay happy and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and affection while ensuring they're always supervised and secure.
“Jules was so great with our cat! She gave him so much love and even stayed for extra time just to hang out with him. She also cleaned up when he had an accident! I would definitely recommend Jules for your pet!”
About: I have more than 14 years of professional animal-care experience, including 10 years working as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including seniors, shy or anxious pets, and animals with medical or special-care needs. My veterinary background taught me to pay close attention to the little things — changes in appetite, behavior, mobility, bathroom habits, or overall comfort — and to recognize when something may need closer attention. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding and medication instructions and maintaining established routines. I know that every pet is different, so I adjust my care to the individual animal rather than expecting them to immediately adapt to me. Some pets want constant attention and cuddles; others need a little more time and space before they feel comfortable. My goal is always to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home while their person is away. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals throughout my career, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including their usual feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I know many pets do best when their routine stays familiar, so I’m very flexible and will tailor their day to what they’re accustomed to at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks, and there are no children or resident pets in my home. This allows visiting pets to have a calm environment and plenty of individualized attention. I follow each owner’s instructions regarding leashes, harnesses, feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines. My veterinary experience also means I’m accustomed to monitoring animals closely for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or comfort. I take introductions slowly and let pets settle in at their own pace. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for more than 20 years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and following detailed care instructions. I also have house-sitting experience caring for pets in their own homes, which has taught me how important it is to keep their normal routine consistent while their family is away. I’m dependable, attentive, and I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the week. I’m available for house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routines and can plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow their normal routine and all instructions provided by their pet parent. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so pet parents can feel comfortable while they’re away.

Reetchel is the best in the game. She is reliable, trustworthy and has saved me when I faced a difficult travel situation and had to come back home later. You can be sure that she will take care of your pets like her own. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Reetchel!
They were absolutely amazing. I just moved to the area from Texas and had to travel to Colorado for my niece’s birthday, but couldn’t bring my dog. My usual pet sitter is back in Texas, so I was unexpectedly without pet care. When the dates of my trip changed, they were generous and flexible enough to watch Scooby a little longer. Scooby normally takes a while to warm up to new people and can be particularly hesitant around men, but he bonded with them incredibly quickly. They truly exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with pets.
Anh was wonderful! My dog has separation anxiety, and Anh truly went above and beyond to help her feel safe and comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and as a first-time Rover user, she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Anh.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
