About: I’ve been lucky to share my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have a sweet 9-year-old, 80 lb dog that I rescued as a puppy from Costa Rica. She has anxiety and a handful of health issues—so I’m very comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra love, patience, or meds. I also have a reactive family dog, and I have been through training on how to manage her behavior and am comfortable taking on dogs with similar behaviors. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends and family with animals of all shapes and sizes—from tiny seniors to wild 90 lb puppies—and I’ve been through multiple puppy training classes with both my current dog and a family pup. While living in Costa Rica, I couldn't help but bring home two rescues, so I understand the deep connection that can form between a pet and their parent! I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, whether it's for the afternoon or an extended period. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding routine, going out for midday walks, or just offering some company and comfort, I can easily adjust to your pet’s needs and schedule. I'm around most of the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention and care while you're away! Every pet is unique, so I always come in with an open mind and take time to understand their personality, routines, and comfort level. Whether I'm in my home or yours, I tailor my care to fit what each pet needs—whether that’s extra playtime, quiet companionship, medication, or just sticking to a familiar routine. No matter what, I always treat every animal with patience, respect, and lots of love—just like I would want for my own pets.

“Katherine was on time every day . Good communication with us while we’re at work. Positive energy and attitude. Follow Lola’s schedule and helped us with potty training. Lola was very happy with her.”

“Angela exceeded our high expectations (based on her previous reviews). She was very caring towards our elderly dog, as shown by the questions she asked about her eating habits, where she sleeps etc. Angela is also an outstanding photographer and sent us regular pics of our dog who was clearly very happy spending time with Angela. Angela treated our home with complete respect and it was spotless when we returned. Angela even gave us a detailed list of all the things our dog did for example how she behaves during walks etc. I cannot imagine a better dog-sitter than Angela.”

“Dominique was the best! She was very attentive, communicative, and amenable to both our dogs and our needs. She left our house exactly how it was when she got here. From her updates, I could tell the dogs were well taken care of and loved on. I would absolutely book with her again and will definitely recommend her to my friends who are looking for sitters in the future.”

About: We’re experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a slower pace, extra patience, medication, or a closely followed routines. What sets us apart, though, is how we care. We’re calm, observant, detail-oriented, and very comfortable following the little routines that make your pets feel secure. We notice if appetite is different, when a walk needs to be shorter, when the shy cat would rather make the first move, or when an animal companion simply needs a little more company that day. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine and is something we plan around with intention. We keep our schedule flexible so we can give each pet the time, attention, exercise, companionship, and supervision they actually need, without rushing through care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we treat both the animal and the home with a high level of care, respect, and discretion. We take time to understand each pet’s normal routine, temperament, boundaries, and environment so we can recognize what is typical for them and respond thoughtfully if something changes. For walks and visits, safety comes first. We pay close attention to weather, surroundings, energy levels, other animals, and any individual sensitivities or triggers. We follow the household’s established preferences while also using experienced judgment when conditions call for an adjustment. We are careful with home access, doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications provided by the owner, and any special household protocols. We also believe trust means keeping clients informed without making them feel like they need to manage us from afar. Our goal is simple: your pet should feel secure, understood, and well cared for, and you should feel confident knowing both your pet and your home are in responsible hands.

About: Hi! My name is Isabella! Im a college student and have been around dogs my whole life. I currently walk dogs through a company, and have been for a few months! Everyday I walk dogs, feed them, and make sure they are taken care of. I also do overnight stays where I have to walk, feed, clean, and make sure i give medicine to the dogs! Working with dogs and animals is my passion so your fur baby will be in great hands! Pet care fits into my daily routine since I have my own dog to take care of. She’s an older chihuahua and requires specific medicine day and night. I administer her medicine, walk her, feed her, and make sure to give her lots of love and cuddles! I have lots of experience in taking care of animals. I have been responsible for making sure they get their medication, they get fed properly, and that they go on their walks. I always want to make sure that the dog i am watching is comfortable and happy!

“Very prompt and great communication. He was able to cover an emergency situation and we were very grateful for that. The dogs loved him, especially Toto who has issues sometimes with women so that’s why we hired Doug - really nice guy.”

“Azucena was so helpful and dependable. She helped me out in a pinch while I unexpectedly had to travel more than usual. I'd absolutely recommend her and I'm grateful for her help!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life and began house and pet sitting while attending ArtCenter College of Design. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, as well as horses, and have continued pet and house sitting for friends, neighbors and members of my church community. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, administering medications and following detailed feeding, medication and household routines. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your pets and your home in someone else’s care. I treat every animal with patience, affection and individual attention, and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I enjoy being home with them for companionship, playtime and cuddles, along with regular walks and outdoor breaks appropriate to each pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to follow your pet’s established schedule so their days feel as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I believe the best pet care starts with maintaining the routine and environment your pet already knows. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking and potty routines, and any household guidelines you provide. I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for senior pets or animals with special routines. When staying in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect as my own, keep you updated, and make sure your pets feel safe, loved and comfortable while you’re away.

“Justin is your guy. Our first time leaving our doggie - with some anxieties since she’s a husky and has bolted before - Justin was not only kind, friendly n warm, he’s got one of those presences that you just trust. It was our wedding weekend, so there was even more stress happening and he watched her two long days in a row, and Justin was simply awesome. Our dog totally loved him! She woke up the next morning searching the house for him. He is very professional, super punctual, and you can tell he truly loves what he does. He sent tons of photos (upon our request) tracked his walks, and took such great care of our puppy. 100% will lean on him again in the future. Highly recommended!!”

“Donatella is AMAZING! It was my first time using Rover and I chose her because of the great reviews from her clients and thought I'd take a chance on her. Turns out, it was a great decision. I have a senior dog that has severe separation anxiety and cannot be left alone. Donatella was so kind and patient with my baby. She even sent me updates several times throughout the day. I highly recommend her for all services in her expertise.”

“Timely and very engaged. My wife came home from work to find Madison on the floor, playing with Noodle and enthralling him with her ukelele. Since our sweet old dog has failing sight and hearing, such interaction is a blessing.”
