About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals through work at various animal shelters, where I helped care for them. I’m comfortable handling pets of different temperaments, including large dogs, and I have some experience recognizing basic health concerns and administering medication as needed. Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily routine with a flexible schedule, ensuring pets receive the attention and love they deserve every single day. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets. With careful attention to detail, I ensure that surroundings are pet-proofed, hazards are minimized, and any specific needs or preferences are addressed. Whether it's maintaining a clean living space, providing enriching activities, or adhering to medication schedules, I go above and beyond to create a secure and nurturing environment where pets can thrive.
“Jace is amazing! Jace is punctual, informative; he has taught me and my family so many things we didn’t know and helped us be better dog parents/stewards, and Jace absolute natural with animals, communicative, kind, and hardworking. I would recommend Jace 100%. Thank you, Jace!”

About: I have a strong experience of pet care with 5+ of house-sitting as well as hosting pets. I provide the best pet care experience though my years of work with pets I'm currently off of school for the summer and my availability is open most days. I have a flexible schedule and can fit in pet care into my routine I can't host in my own home, however, I am more than willing to keep your house safe by checking in on pets and make sure the house is safe.
“Sara is always quick to respond, responsible and reliable. Jude is a more energetic cat, and knowing I can trust that Sara will give him the play time he needs eases my mind when I’m out of town.”

About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets, I treat every animal like family—offering personalized attention, constant updates, and a calm, loving presence that pets instantly trust Caring for pets fits right into my day—it’s what I love to do! Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening play sessions, I always make time for happy tails and furry cuddles As a devoted dog owner, I know how much your pet means to you—because mine means the world to me. I care for every dog like I care for my own: with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs
“Farin is awesome. She’s prompt to respond and always really flexible with my schedule. Also huge plus is that my cat Mattis loves her and loves receiving pets and cuddles from her. I know he is in trusted hands with Farin looking after him.”
“We always travel with our babies, but our eldest is going to be 12 this year, so it’s becoming more difficult to bring her along. I was very hesitant to use Rover, but I sent a request to Tiffany and she responded immediately and eased my concerns and answered all my questions. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats so I wanted to make sure it wasn’t overwhelming. She set up a meet and greet a day before which was very thoughtful and although my dogs are very verbal they seemed relax after a while which was a great sign. Tiffany was punctual and followed all the instructions we left for her, so when we got back home from our day trip our babies seemed content. We are very grateful for Tiffany and highly recommend her for anyone looking for her to take care of their fur babies like we did.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life and have always appreciated them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, fish, and even geckos! My pride and joy was my Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix, who thrived for 18 years until she passed of cancer in 2025. I have a young, long-hair cat, Mr. Macaroni, who is super crazy and keeps me from missing my sweet girl too much. I've always believed pets are important members of your family and deserve good care, which is what I'm sure I can provide for your family! I’m currently working part time and going to college full time, in which I usually have weekends off. Please feel free to request days or times that fit your schedule and I’ll be happy to wiggle my time as best I can to fit your pet’s needs! When I take care of any pet it’s important to me they always have access to water, are fed adequately, and I like to make sure they have plenty of potty breaks outside or a clean potty environment (like a litter box, stall, their cage, etc.). Please rest assured, if your pet is energetic or playful I’ll entertain them with toys, walks, or puzzles as well!
About: Dog care has been apart of my routine since I can remember. My friends and family all know me as the doggy baby sitter and are assured their fur baby is in great hands. Pet care fits into my daily life easily and consciously. I assure pets are taken care of in a timely and efficient manner to enforce a sense of reliability and comfort for the pet. I treat all animals with kindness and love, as if they were my own fur babies ! All animals deserve to be understood and I am capable of just that. I work from home so I am able to watch your dog at all times if that is required.
About: I’m a certified veterinary assistant and completed a veterinary externship where I assisted with basic animal care and handling. I’ve also worked at an animal shelter, where I was responsible for cleaning kennels, maintaining a sanitary environment, and monitoring the animals. I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and loved. Pet care fits easily into my routine and is something I can consistently commit to. I work weekdays from 12:45–5:00 PM, but I’m available early mornings starting at 6:00 AM and in the evenings after work. I’m also fully available on weekends. I’m flexible and reliable, and I make sure pets get consistent care, attention, and their routine needs met. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and attention. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable and always follow any instructions given. I also respect the home and keep everything clean and organized.
About: Whether your pet is a couch potato or a trail runner, I have the energy for both! I am available for all your pet care needs, whether walking, drop in visits, taking for vet appointments or to the groomers, bathing, or pet sitting. I've had extraordinary relationships with all of my pets. They are my children. I've had a cats and a dog, and they all lived long, healthy, happy, active lives. I have experience walking both cats and dogs, giving baths, going for adventures in the car, administering oral medications. My beagle shepherd mix was the love of my life. I got him at 8 weeks old and we quickly became inseperable. He went everywhere with me; to Woodward Park to walk with other dog friends, pet stores, hardware stores, the mountains, the ocean, so many places, so many adventures. We camped and hiked hundreds of miles throughout his 12 years with me. I just lost him to cancer and it broke my heart completely. Since he has been gone, I have been house sitting for friends when they go on week long vacations. I want to give your pets the love and care I have always given mine. AvaiIibility: I am completely available on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, I work 6:30am-3:30pm; so I am available anytime before or after work. If you pet requires a drop in visit midday, I can run by on my lunch break at noon. Your pets safety is most important to me. Each pet wil have customized care based on the pets needs. I will schedule a meet and greet with every client to meet your pets and go over all your pets needs.
About: I live in a house with two dogs, two Guinea pigs, a bird, snake, and cat. While none of the animals are mine specifically, I am the primary caretaker for the cat. I am working full time while doing school part time. I am looking for pet care work primarily in the evenings and on weekends. I prefer taking care of pets in their own home since it is a familiar environment to them rather than taking them to a dog park where there are some many environmental factors outside my control. I take them on walks, make sure they are fed and let out in the yard, throw the ball for our younger dog, and provide lots of love.

“I can rest easy when I’m gone from home knowing Jason is dropping by to feed my cat Lily. She’s quite an escape artist for me, but not with Jason!”


About: Dogs have been apart of my family since I could remember! I’ve taken care of my family members pets regularly by feeding them keeping them entertained and I have a fur baby of my own! I’m currently a college student, so i’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I’m available for boarding on Saturday's, and weekdays after 1pm! I am currently a member of the Army National Guard so I set a standard to be trusted and show respect to each home and pup when doing daily tasks!
Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time with Jace taking care of my two sight hounds while I was out of town for the entire day. Kudos to Jace, who did a great job, despite of my unintentionally forgetting to let him know about some small details about my pups' routines and preferences, and the location of their cookie jar! I'm grateful to Jace, and would love to have him care for the hounds in the future, if he is available and willing.
