“Cole is the best cat sitter I’ve had through Rover. His check-ins were regular and his updates and photos were above and beyond. I’m so grateful to him for taking care of my 2 cats this week and a half!”

“Leilani did a wonderful job checking in on my doggos! She was punctual, friendly, and a great communicator. I highly recommend hiring Leilani for your dog sitting needs and I would hire her again!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for animals, along with a strong focus on tailored care for each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets requiring extra patience and support. I'm comfortable with administering medications, following special diets, and sticking to detailed routines to ensure your pet feels safe and happy in your absence. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize reliability and consistency, whether it's early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime and check-ins. I'm flexible and committed to working around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve every single day. Whether it's a short-term visit or long-term care, I make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and comforting as possible. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to create a secure, calm environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to ensure their pet feels safe in a familiar setting. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space that’s fully secured and free of hazards. I supervise interactions, keep a consistent routine, and always provide plenty of love, enrichment, and downtime to help pets feel at ease. I also keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands.
“Kayla has watched Zephyr a couple of times and did an amazing job! I am so thankful to have someone I trust with my dog when I can’t be home. She follows all routines and is very caring!”

“Eliriz took exceptional care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She is extremely caring and provided us updates of how everything was going at the house which provided us with comfort while we were away. She was also very responsive and accommodating to last minute changes to the schedule! We will definitely try to book her again in the future!”

“Aichav did a great job caring for our pups! Reliable, trustworthy, and does a great job communicating updates, pics, etc. Being away from your pets is hard, but knowing that they are in good hands reduces stress and is truly appreciated. Will def. book with Aichav again!”

“Amanda was amazing! I felt so relieved knowing that Max was in great hands with her, she was also very knowledgeable about the French Bulldog breed which helped me feel so comfortable in her care. Aside from her care, her vibe is immaculate! Would absolutely book again!”

About: My friends and family have relied on me to look after their dogs when they’re at work or out of town. My care consists of lots of love, running around in parks and more. I have experience in taking care of cats, dogs and elders! I’m a full time college student, as well as working for Rover part time. I will have lots of time to love and care for your pets! I am available on weekends for boarding and weekdays after 5pm. I have cared for my giant dog for the past 7 years. I love playing with him in the backyard, taking him out for runs and to the parks, as well as grooming his coat.
“Had to leave our cats for about a week. Just asked for a daily check-in and feeding. Also did ask for her to try to give our little girl Mei a daily pill. We figured Mei would disappear and give her no chance. But she got her her medicine every day except for the first day. Impressive. Also cleaned up some cat sick. Very happy. And cats seemed very happy.”

“Kim did such a great job caring for Mia and Apollo while my husband and I were out for the day! She was a great communicator & the dogs really enjoyed her visits. Would definitely recommend!”


About: I’ve grown up with (and pet sat) tons of different animals! I can work with dogs, cats, horses, goats/sheep, birds, reptiles, rodents, you name it! Cool with feeding, watering, potty breaks, administering medicines, cleaning, etc. I’ve been doing dog training for about two years now, and am comfortable working with fearful/reactive animals too. Tons of experience across all fields! I’m a part-time college student with a lot of time on my hands! I think pets deserve all the love and attention I can provide for them, and I’m happy to do just that. Following routines is my jam! Feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, just let me know what you and your furry friends prefer and I’m happy to follow your lead!
“It’s been such a blessing having Rilyne as a dog sitter. Quick to respond to request, lets me know when she is on her way, and updates me on how the pups are doing with cute pictures! The girls love her and I feel confident that they are well taken care of and loved while I am gone.”


About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them attention and company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Since I work part time from home. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I’m able to make time for walks, check-ins, and visits during the day or evening, and I always do my best to stay consistent with the times we agree on. I care for pets by following their routine as normal. I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get walks or playtime, and feel comfortable and safe. I also clean up after them and always follow any instructions given. I also have doggy gates, treats, and snuggles :)

About: I’ve grown up around dogs & cats my entire life and there is no job I would rather do than hangout with them all day. I pride myself on being attentive to the pets I watch as well as being communicative with the owners. I am currently home from college for the summer so I have nothing but free time. Feel free to turn to me for last minute bookings due to my wide open schedule. I love going on walks as a way to get both your pet’s exercise as well as mine. But most importantly I provide attention, safety, and comfortability for pets.
About: I have had dogs and puppies many times in the past years so I am familiar with the needs of older dogs and puppies. I enjoy walking and taking walks with your dog. I am retired, living in the foothills of Jackson. I can be available to travel to your home, stay in your guest room, and hang out with your pets, or take your small pet at my home. When dogs and I walk I enjoy getting to know the surrounding area. Many times a neighbor will talk to me when we are on our walks! I am retired. Since I am available to travel to your home and stay there with your pets while I enjoy them and the time spent reading and visiting local attractions. Should you wish to use my home for care, I am home a lot while going out for a couple of hours at a time for my social meetings and such. I appreciate that much of the time I spend will be at your home with your pets. If I go out they will be wherever you leave them when you go to work or play. I always make sure they are safe and that I return in time for walks, their next meal and shared evening and sleep routine time.
