About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
“I had a last minute fly delay and Thao was gracious enough to check in on my babies! She took care of them very well and took all the stress of me until i could return home. Would definitely rebook again and recommend!”

“Julia was great! She dropped in several times to take care of our pups! She even stayed a little longer to chill with them when she had some free time and didn’t mind cleaning up their mess!”

“If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to care for your pets, Jenn is absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of our furry family members while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with her service. From the start, Jenn was professional, kind, and attentive to every detail of our pets' needs. She made sure to keep us informed throughout her stay, sending us regular updates and lots of adorable pictures of our pets. Seeing how happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for they were gave us so much peace of mind. Jenn clearly has a natural connection with animals and treated our pets as if they were her own. Whether it was feeding, playing, or just giving them snuggles and love, she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. It was clear that they adored her! We can't thank Jenn enough for her amazing care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who is trustworthy, compassionate, and communicative. Thank you, Jenn, for everything,you’re the best!”

“Danny has been such a valuable help! We travel a lot and have relied on family/friends for so long and have been hesitant to find a sitter because our dogs are difficult. As rescue dogs, they are afraid to go outside, have special dietary preferences, and are very hesitant to meet new people. Danny somehow makes them feel comfortable and takes the best pictures of them, which means they are comfortable interacting with him! We are so thankful for his help and will definitely be using his sitting services again!”


About: I grew up with 3 Australian shepards and a tuxedo cat. I also grew up breeding Jack Russel terriers and fostered Austrailian Shepherds. I am comfortable with all dog sizes and breeds. I love dogs and cats! I am also comfortable with and own reptiles, if there are any needs for your scaly pets! I work from home and am able to work anywhere with wifi. I go to the office on Tuesdays from 9-5. I otherwise strive to not be out of the house for more than 3 hours without prior notice during home stays. I can stay in the home overnight or make frequent visits throughout the day. I love taking long walks! I am confident with dogs of all sizes.
“Jonathan has been our go to dog sitter anytime we are out of town and always does an amazing job with Mia. We recommend him to anyone who will be away from their pups for an extended period of time.”

“Victoria was amazing! Very patient and understanding when we had key trouble and very informative in the after visit reports. Would recommend and rebook in a heartbeat! Thanks so much!”
About: I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule, reinforcing basic training, managing high-energy puppy play, or providing gentle patience for senior dogs, I treat every pet as my own. I'm highly reliable, observant, and dedicated to keeping your pup safe, happy, and well-exercised while you're away. I have excellent flexibility in my weekly schedule, allowing me to fully dedicate my time to your pets. Because my routine offers plenty of open windows, I am readily available for consistent daytime drop-in visits, morning or afternoon walks, and dedicated overnight housesitting. I can easily accommodate your pet's normal routine without rush. I treat every home and pet with the utmost care, vigilance, and responsibility. Safety means maintaining your exact environment rules, keeping dogs securely leashed on walks, and being highly observant of changes in behavior or health. I keep a clean, hazard-free environment and prioritize open, real-time communication with frequent text and photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.
About: I am an animal lover at heart that understands the importance of your animals safety and joy. I have over 3 years of experience watching dogs and cats for friends and families while they have been out of town. I ensure that I will keep your little bundles happy, full, and most importantly safe. I currently work from home and have the ability to walk and take care of pets during the day. Not available for over-nights nor caring for pets at my home. I will follow all rules required by the owners and ensure the safety of the animals I am taking care of. In my home I ensure that my cats are well fed, litter is cleaned twice a day, and necessary play time.
“Charles was such a sweetheart the entire process! I got regular check-ins and my dog and cat were happy to meet him and well taken care of while I was away. Thanks again for all your help!”

“Oh my goodness! She was AMAZING!! She took the time to get to know all my fur babies and even took special time to do activities with them like brush my chow chow. I came home tired from my trip to a clean house animals food full and the liter boxes clean. 10/10 she went above and beyond. My for babies loved her and yours will too.”


About: Hi! I’m Devin, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs of every size, shape, and personality. I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors — and now I’m opening my doors (and my heart!) to pups on Rover. Whether your dog is a high-energy goofball or a snuggly couch companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and at home. I've trained my own little pup from 8 weeks old and he's a Shiba (well known for their stubborn personality) I dont work weekends or holidays, plus my lunch breaks are typically on the longer side (1 to 3 hrs). Fitting in check ins, potty breaks and walks are a piece of cake. I believe in positive reinforcement, gentle guidance, and keeping each pet’s individual comfort level in mind. I pay attention to body language and energy, and I always go slow with nervous or shy dogs so they can warm up at their own pace.
About: Very playful and loving with any kind of dogs. I enjoy taking them out for walks and giving them a good workout. Your fur babies will have lots of fun and plenty of breaks as well. And they will receive plenty of love and cuddles while under my care. I am currently working evenings to nighttime at a part time job. I am completely available Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can also care for your fur baby on Saturdays if needed. In case of an emergency, there is a vet near my apartment building I can take your fur baby to. The house is always locked at nighttime and there are plenty of locations to take them on walks and exercise during the day.

About: Hello neighbor! I would love to be your four pawed family member's newest bff. I have years of experience caring for dogs, and currently work with Fairytail Petcare services as a dog's plus one to their owner's weddings, and formerly on other pet care service apps. I have lots of experience with a variety of dogs; different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My own dog struggles with strangers, so I understand how difficult it can be to find a dog walker that understands dog body language, and pet consent. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have, I'm excited for the opportunity to care for your beloved family member. I have full availability, please send a request and I'll let you know if I'm available during that visit if I'm not already booked. Thanks! I treat your home how I would like my home to be treated. If you would like me to remove my shoes at the door, I'm happy to do so. Whatever makes you the most comfortable so your dog can receive the care they need.

Safety, emotional regulation, and calm leadership guide everything I do. With 36+ five-star reviews, I’ve built a reputation for reliability, attentiveness, and creating environments where pets feel secure and balanced. Animals respond quickly to steady, grounded presence — and that’s exactly what I provide. As a remote entrepreneur, I offer something many sitters can’t: consistent daytime presence.

My workday flows with your pet’s rhythm and their well-being. ▸▸ Meet & Greet First I require a Meet & Greet to ensure energetic compatibility and comfort before booking. ▸▸ Home Integrity Standard I maintain a clean, respectful presence in every home. Surfaces are cared for, plants are tended thoughtfully, and shared spaces are reset daily.

With 36+ five-star reviews, families choose me again and again because they know communication, safety, and integrity come first.
Catalina pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brooke was absolutely over-the-top amazing with our cats! She loved our girls, checked in, and sent lots of photos and gave updates each day. We were able to relax on vacation knowing they were loved and cared for. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Brooke and her pet-sitting. I was afraid my shy girls would hide- nope, they were living their best lives each day with Brooke. I knew it would be fine when they came right out to her when she came for the ‘meet and greet.’ Our cats just KNEW she was kind and gentle. We will definitely book ONLY with her next trip, and feel great about being able to take more trips now that we have Brooke.

Isabela was a great help to my two adult cats after another Rover sitter bailed last minute. She was very communicative and friendly, followed all my care instructions, and went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were cared for while I was away. I look forward to booking with her again!

Elizabeth is amazing! She has been extremely accommodating and flexible in helping us with some Mayday! situations, and the boys always love when they get to spend some time with her. She always makes sure that they’re well cared for and sends us a great recap and photos.

Savannah was absolutely amazing! She took the best care of Pooh while we stayed at Royal Pacific and enjoyed our time at Epic. She made sure he got plenty of attention, took him out regularly, and kept me updated all day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she truly cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend Savannah and will definitely use her again!

Tracy was an absolute lifesaver when we needed a last-minute sitter through Rover. After a quick meet and greet, we immediately felt confident she’d be a great fit for our Golden Retriever, Cooper—and she exceeded our expectations. Cooper is a recent rescue who needs a bit of extra patience and care, and Tracy handled him so well. She bonded with him quickly and even helped improve his leash walking. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and highly recommend her services. We’ll definitely be booking with Tracy again soon!
Zarriah is amazing. She truly goes above and beyond; she's very caring, attentive and handles situations with professionalism. I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet. :)

Kelly was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last minute request during the holidays when my current Rover sitter wasn’t available. She responded quickly and came over the very next day to do a meet and greet with Maci. It was immediately clear how much she genuinely loves animals, and Maci took to her right away. I’m so grateful for her help and flexibility—thank you, Kelly! 🐾
