About: I’ve had my own dog for 11 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your pet like family. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care of their pets for my reliability, attentiveness, and love for animals! Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or making sure their routines are followed, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I love my dog with my whole heart—and I’d treat yours like my own. :) I’m a college student home for the summer with lots of free time, so your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and super flexible with scheduling! I have one friendly dog and a large, fenced yard in a spacious home—perfect for safe play and relaxation. I make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family while you’re away. :)
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. 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.
“Grace is a highly professional carer of cats. She is obviously a serious student of feline behavior and she is quick to respond to individual cat needs. Grace has excellent communication skills and she many times went above and beyond the calll of duty, e.g. bringing deliveries in the house. This was my first experience with Rover and because of the excellent exeperience with Grace, I will beome a regular user of this website. Thank you, Rover, for sending Grace to our house.”
“Robert has built up a connection with Bear and does get with communication.”
“Very happy with Chloe P’s care of our cats! No issues. Thank you”
About: I’ve taken care of my sister dog for about two years now. But I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and I love them. I’m currently working a part time job and I attend school. So my availability would be on weekends but it’s summer so more flexible times I have a lot of energy so I’ll make sure your dog is entertained and having fun. I’ll ensure lots of belly rubs and treats.
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.
“Nestor is a one-person (ME! lol) cat and he has come to love Susan and looks forward to her visits. She is so patient and kind with him and respects his boundaries. Susan is the first person I ask when I need to go somewhere as I trust her 100% with my fur baby.”
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our dog! We felt very comfortable having her in our home, without us there. Will definitely use her again! 🤗”
About: I have a little bit of senior dog experience as my own dog is going to be seventeen this year. My experience has been with smaller dogs 30lbs and less. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule for walks during the day. Walking a few times a day is very important to me. So why not make new furry friends while doing it(: Since I have dogs of my own I will not let any new dogs into my home. My dogs will not join your pets on walk. There will never be contact. This is to inure safety and well being for both parties.
“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’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.
“Mandy is fabulous, my dogs love her. When I leave them in her care, I don’t have to worry about anything. Such a relief to know my dogs get excellent care. Left cash tip.”

Hi! I’m Xaiviea, I’m 29, and animals have been the biggest part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for just about everything—puppies, kittens, parrots, reptiles, ferrets, chinchillas, barn animals—you name it! I spent a couple years as a professional dog trainer at Petco, regularly volunteer at local shelters, and have been an emergency placement foster many times. I’ve even dabbled in reptile husbandry and helped get my own mom into reptiles—she now has five, and I help her care for them! Right now I live with family to help out my elderly parents, and I share my life with four lovable Frenchies and my sphynx cat, Chicken. (Yes, his name is Chicken. Yes, he lives up to it. 😂) My long-term dream is to open two animal rescues—one just for French Bulldogs and one for all animals—with tons of space for everything from horses to hedgehogs. I also hope to go back to school for biology and zoology, and I’m using Rover to help save for that goal. I treat every pet like my own—furry kids with unique needs, personalities, and big emotions. You can trust me to keep them safe, loved, and totally spoiled. 💖 Thanks for reading—I can’t wait to meet your babies! My schedule is completely open and i promise I will make caring for your pets my first priority. I can stay as long as you'd like or I can pop in as many times as you'd like. Whatever you want I'll make happen! I'm an animal freak and provide the best care possible. My dogs are all on individual diets and have there supplements and all! I don't play when it comes to pet care! I take pride in how I care for my pets and your pets will get the exact same treatment.

Ashley Tamara A.
“I can’t recommend Ashley highly enough! She has taken care of my dog Aspen—a large Labrador/Great Pyrenees mix—with an incredible level of care and professionalism. From day one, Ashley has been reliable, attentive, and genuinely invested in Aspen’s well-being. She not only follows all care instructions to the letter but also goes above and beyond in walking, feeding, and playing with Aspen. Her communication is top-notch; I always know how things are going, which gives me great peace of mind when I’m away. Aspen absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, you won't find anyone better. I can't recommend her enough!! :)”
