“Jillian is great! Super flexible and caring. Our pup Rhaegar always looks so happy when she is here with him and she has been teaching him things! You can tell that she has an affinity with animals! We are so thankful.”
“If I could give MORE than 5 stars I would. Natalie was fantastic with my cats, and took special care to make sure both of them were happy and comfortable throughout our trip. She gave us very detailed drop in notes, played with our kitten to wear him out, and treated our special needs older cat with as much care as we would. It's clear she cares for each animal she watches over. Thank you so much again, Natalie!!”
“Coryn communicated so well with us before, during, and after the visit dates. Our skittish pup warmed up to her quickly and all the pics and videos have me great peace of mind.”
“Kristen was amazing! She communicated clearly and consistently. There were always detailed updates and pics of Cheeto and Pain during each check-in. My cats are usually a bit shy around new people, but they warmed up to her surprisingly quickly. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were on vacation. This was our first time using Rover, and it was a great experience—thanks to Kristen! We’ll definitely be booking with her again for our next trip.”
About: I approach each dog as individuals to understand their personalities. As a pet parent, I’ve owned five dogs, three of which unfortunately have moved on to the rainbow bridge. I currently have a 5 year old Aussie and a 3 year old border collie mix, both a calm and friendly to dogs, cats, and people. I work a regular job from 8am - 4:30pm M-F, with remote work from W-F. My availability are any remote days and weekends. I can watch your dogs at home during those days or check in on them after work hours and anytime in the weekends. I spoil my dogs and cats. I make sure to play with them daily and take them for walks. Having an Aussie and border collie demands it! Both our dogs know when it’s bed time and sleep in our bedroom. Luna the border collie sleeps in our bed, the best snuggle bug ever.
About: I have grown up with all types of dogs at. From small to big, lazy to crazy, and puppy to senile. Your pup will be taken care of based on their own personal needs. Each breed and age group requires different care, and I can ensure that they will be in safe hands. I am currently in school! My online classes allow me to adjust my schedule easily, so I can make sure pets get the attention they deserve. I will take care of your pets as similar as possible to how you do it. Most dogs like their normal routine, so as long as you educate me on what their day to day life is I can replicate it as much as possible to try and make them as comfortable as possible.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl from puppies to senior pups. I enjoy how each dog had their own personality and would love to be a part of their wolf pack! I am currently a pre-school teacher and have a passion for helping animals while I am striving towards my certification for Child Life Specialist. I enjoy animals and love to help any animal in need and Rover is a way I can contribute and help others make sure their pet is safe and taken care of. Trust is a huge building block in any animal relationship. I would love to learn everything about my clients animals to ensure they are loved to the fullest. I don’t mind if the list of things the animals needs is long, I will do anything for your fur babies!
“This was our pups first time with Justin and we were so pleased! He took great care of Cooper and was so flexible and sensitive to his needs. Cooper had a blast! We're looking forward to working with Justin again soon!”
“Susan takes such good care of my fur baby! She has gone the extra mile each time and he's really bonded with her. I trust her completely to take the best care of him when I am gone.”
About: With nearly four years of experience caring for dogs—both my own and those of other families—I’ve developed a strong understanding of pet behavior and needs. I have hands-on experience training small dogs and some larger breeds as well. I take pride in my ability to connect with animals quickly, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and at home—even when they’re missing their owners. I currently work part-time at a Physical Therapy clinic while taking online classes. Due to my schedule and my preparations for applying to Physician Assistant school, I do not have any pets of my own at this time. With this in mind, I am fairly flexible and would typically be away from the house for no more than six hours at a time. I am more than comfortable spending the remainder of the day caring for your pets. My work schedule is primarily in the mornings, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Monday through Friday. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. When entrusted with house sitting and pet care, my top priority is to follow the owners’ instructions carefully and precisely. While in the home, I make it a point to spend as much time as possible with your pets, ensuring they receive the attention they need and remain safe under my supervision. I take them out regularly throughout the day and, before leaving for work, I always make certain they have been let out, are fed, and have access to water to prevent any discomfort, accidents, or health issues in my absence.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages; 7 months to 15 years old. I take joy in giving your pup or kitty my time and making them feel as comfortable as they can in my home or your home. If that means playing with them all throughout the day, cuddling on the couch, going on walks, or giving more time and attention then I am happy as long as the pets are satisfied. I want the animals that I watch to feel safe and happy, as if their owners were home. I am open to pet sitting in your home if that works better but my preference is to bring them to my home. When staying at a clients house I like to get familiar with the yard and space so I know of any places your pet may hide away or rest. Some times our pets like to nap in places that we would not suspect and I want to make sure I can keep track of your pet at all times while in my care. I am flexible with hours during the week and weekends. At this time, I am available almost all hours. Please contact me 3 days prior so I can meet your loving pet. My yard is fenced in with a gate. I will manage daily potty breaks and walks regardless of the temperatures. Play time as needed will be provided.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs all my life. I will walk love and care for your fur baby as if it were mine. I am a stay at home fur baby mom. I walk and play ball my dogs everyday, and would love to include yours with us. My home has a fenced back yard that is dog friendly. I will be happy to treat your baby with respect and care as you need.
“We could not have asked for a more professional and kind person to care for our senior dog. Aaron has two senior dogs himself, so I was confident that he would understand how important it was to us that our dog felt comfortable and safe while we were gone. Bluff has been really happy and active since we got back, and I feel that is truly because of the care he received while we were gone. Thank you, Aaron!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for years. I currently have a dog and a parrot while I’ve also had fish, snails, hamsters, and a cat. I currently work full time! I am looking for an another hobby and I love animals so thought this would be a great place to start! I am open more on weekends which lets you have your fun while I do the work! I have a fenced yard and and fenced yard within that yard for my dog so the dogs will be separate. The bird is in a cage and talks a bit so I try to interact with him as much as I can so he feels love too.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and my major responsibilities started at about 8 years old. I aided my own senior dog with her health issues as well as my neighbors dog who requires extra medical attention. I am well-versed in dog-breeds and the nature of these animals. I love all dogs and have always been the dog-walker for my neighborhood. I have experience with puppies and am comfortable with large dog breeds. This will most likely be my main job, as I am a university student returning home for the summer. I am super flexible schedule wise and can easily meet any expectations. I have a fenced yard and my own dog who is 10000% dog-friendly. I am used to crate-trained dogs as well as those who may need to be restricted in the house. They will have my full attention no matter the environment to ensure they are well taken care of.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and I don’t just “watch” pets—I build a relationship with them. My own dog, Gadget, is almost 12 years old, and I’ve been his lifelong best friend, snuggle buddy, walker, and groomer. Whether it’s trail hikes, neighborhood strolls, or indoor games like hide-and-seek, I tailor care to what each dog enjoys most. What makes me different is my calm, caring approach. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to respond to a pet’s needs, not just follow a routine. I believe clear communication, trust, and creating a safe environment are essential to happy pets. From house training to meal routines to peaceful walks, I care for every dog like they’re part of my family—because to me, they are. As a stay-at-home dad, my schedule is flexible day or night and pet care is a natural part of our daily rhythm. I’m available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends to care for your pup with the same attention and love I give my own buddy, Gadget. My two daughters are also part of our pet-loving household—they enjoy going on walks and sharing snuggles with our furry visitors. Whether it’s a calm companion or a playful pup, your dog will be part of a warm, active, and caring environment throughout the day. I’d like to be mindful of creating a safe, trusting, and interactive environment for your pup in your home. I’d like to think I have a great attention to detail and like to keep things organized and clean just the way you need it.

Anna B.
“Anna is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! From the moment she met my pup Onyx, it was clear she has a natural connection with dogs. Onyx warmed up to her instantly and now completely adores and trusts her — which says a lot, because he’s usually a little shy with new people. Anna has built such a genuine bond with not just Onyx, but with me as well. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly passionate about what she does. It’s such a comfort knowing my dog is in great hands when I’m away. I can’t recommend her enough!”

We always know that they are in good hands when Jason is taking care of them. He is also very respectful of our home and always leaves everything neat & tidy. My husband and I can honestly say that there’s no one we trust more with our fur babies than Jason.”
Brenda L.
“Brenda has assisted us in watching our dog Rocky, a 3yr old Goldendoodle. She reached out to confirm details on what Rocky’s schedule is throughout the day and abided by that. Since Rocky is high energy and needs his exercise she took him on two walks and even let him out in the backyard to run around. You can tell she has a true passion and love for animals. While we were gone she even helped with our gecko. She has been back a couple of times and Rocky is definitely happy with her.”

Appreciate you so much!”
