“Mckinley did a great job taking care of our older lab and young one year old lab. She kept their routine and spent time at home with them so they could stay out and play. I was updated regularly and felt completely confident that they were happy and safe:)”

About: Hi, I’m Liana! I've loved all kinds of animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets. Growing up, my family had a sweet Lhasa Apso which gave me a deep love for dogs and a solid understanding of their routines. I’m also the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, frequently looking after my sister's cat and making sure her needs are met. Beyond dogs and cats, I’m highly comfortable with small and unique pets. I have owned both guinea pigs and a leopard gecko, I know how important strict feeding schedules and habitat care are. I’m active, dependable, and ready to give your pets the exact love, exercise, and structured care they need while you’re away! I am home from college for the summer, so my schedule is wide open and very flexible! Since I don't have a rigid routine right now, your pet will be my top priority. I am available throughout the week and on weekends for morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight sitting. Because I am home full-time, I have plenty of time to give your pet all the attention, exercise, and love they need! My goal is to keep your pet’s routine exactly as it is when you’re there by prioritizing safety, respect, and clear communication. When visiting your home, I always double-check that all doors, gates, and alarms are securely locked, and I make sure no dangerous items are left within your pet's reach. During walks, I practice active supervision by staying completely aware of our surroundings, keeping your dog securely on their leash, and sticking to your preferred routes to ensure they are safe from traffic or other animals. I treat your home with total respect by keeping water bowls fresh, cleaning up any messes immediately, and leaving your space exactly how I found it. Plus, I love sending quick photo updates after every single visit so you can see firsthand that your pet is happy, safe, and having a great time!

“Emily was great with our two big dogs! She followed their schedule, sent lots of updates, and left the house spotless. She even handled an unfortunate encounter with an aggressive off leash dog like a champ, notifying me immediately and prioritizing their care throughout. We appreciate Emily’s commitment and will ask her to sit again!”

“Kim did an amazing job watching our dog Ruthie while we were gone! Ruthie was super happy and we had peace of mind knowing she was so well taken care of. Kim also left the house super clean, we couldn’t be happier!”

“I highly recommend Luke to take care of your furry family. Our dog is wary of strange men at the outset but she warmed up to Luke very quickly. This was our first vacation away from her since we rescued her so we weren't sure how she'd handle the change in caretakers but she did better than I expected. Luke was responsive and sent daily pics and updates. He was also great at watching our house for us while we were out of town. Thanks Luke!”

“Amy was amazing! Not only were our crazy fur babies taken care of so well, she also made sure to send daily updates and photos, and she made sure to not leave a mess in the guest room and kitchen (very important in my opinion). We will most definitely use Amy again!”

About: I have over a year of consistent dog and house sitting experience with the same family, where I’ve cared for their sweet fur baby and home with reliability and attention to detail. I’m trusted to maintain routines, keep pets comfortable, and ensure everything runs smoothly while owners are away. I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been comfortable around animals of all ages and personalities. I currently walk a dog weekly, which has helped me stay experienced with different energy levels, leash manners, and behavior styles. I also have experience supporting basic puppy training, including reinforcing commands and good walking habits, and I’m equally comfortable giving extra patience and care to senior dogs who may need a slower pace, gentle handling, or a bit more attention. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work part time, which allows me a flexible and consistent schedule for pet care during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to plan my availability in advance and ensure I have dedicated time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Because I already have ongoing experience with weekly dog walking as well as long-term dog and house sitting, I’m comfortable balancing responsibilities while maintaining reliable routines for each pet I care for. I care for pets in my client’s home by keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific habits or preferences each pet is used to. I prioritize making pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also treat the home with respect and care, keeping things clean, secure, and organized while the owner is away. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured. Because I already have experience with ongoing dog walking and long-term dog/house sitting, I’m comfortable adapting to different routines, personalities, and energy levels—including puppies who need structure and senior dogs who may need a slower, gentler pace. My goal is always to provide reliable, attentive care so pets feel relaxed and owners feel completely at ease while they’re away.

“I hired Jacob to take care of my dog while I was away on a work trip. It couldn’t have gone better. Jacob sent lots of updates and pics and my dog clearly loved spending time with him. He also took great care of everything and left my place spotless.”

“Tracy is delightful! She took great care of my dog while we were away and left my home immaculate. I loved receiving photos of their walks and hangout time while I was away! Tracy was so patient with me (as a first time Rover user) with all my questions before booking! A huge plus... I can’t wait to trust Tracy with Bo again for our next trip!”

Stephanie G.

“Chloe was awesome! She made sure my pups were well taken care of and my house was very clean and neat when I got back. She was communicative and wanted to make sure she took care of my dogs properly. Very happy I booked her for my last minute pet sitter need!”

“Wow, what a life saver! Marisol is exactly who we needed during an important week visiting family. Our senior Lab had trouble walking and eating so very limited choices. We were running out of options with only days to find a solution. After reaching out to multiple potential sitters, only Marisol came through for us. Marisol is not only great with dogs, but very quickly understand their owners too :) She took amazing care of our home and of course our dog. Lots of updates and pics. Can't recommend her enough. Professional and caring!”

James T.

“We truly appreciated Cary's help and dedication in caring for our home and our cherished cat, Robbie. She was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates. We returned home to find Robbie stress-free, and the home is in fantastic condition. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”

“Nancy stayed at my house and watched my dog Wally for almost two weeks while I was out of town. She did an excellent job, kept me updated with pictures, took Wally to the park and gave him lots of love and attention. I would recommend Nancy to anyone and will definitely have her watch Wally again in the future.”

“Beckie is the best! She creatively solved problems with the housing situation, took amazing care of the animals, communicated extremely thoroughly and professionally. We hope to have another opportunity for her to care for our pack in the future!”

Laura S.

“So thrilled I found Kate - she was amazing with my two big dogs and was a huge help with our home while we were out of town. Highly recommend her for anything you need. She even had to help with some unexpected medication for one of my dogs and she had no issues taking care of him. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for over 10 years, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! Every dog is welcome, and I’ll tailor my care to their unique personality, routine, and needs. I can make your routine my routine so your dog feels as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, runs, hikes, endless games of fetch, or simply relaxing at home, I’m happy to match their pace. If your pup has energy to burn, I’m more than happy to help them get it out. Whatever you and your dog are most comfortable with, I’ll make it happen. You’ll always receive photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is to build a relationship with your dog so they’re excited to see me every time I walk through the door. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I make it a priority to give every pet the time and attention they deserve while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I care for every dog as if they were my own while respecting the routine you’ve established. During each visit, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, are fed according to your instructions, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and, of course, receive lots of attention and affection. I’ll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your dog, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m happy to water plants, retrieve mail, or any other needs while I’m at your home. You will receive photo updates as frequent as you want. My goal is to make you and your pet feel comfortable.
