“Kathryn is a very reliable person, she toke care of my kittens extremely well, cleaning, brushing and feeding them properly and with extreme punctuality as committed. I would look for her next time for sure.”


“I was nervous about traveling, since it had been many years since we needed a pet sitter, but Christine made it easy. She stayed in contact and let us know when she had dropped by, and the cats got everything they needed. We'll definitely hire her again!”


“Patricia took good care of our cat in our week-longabsence. There was some slight miscommunication in dates, but Patricia was more than accommodating to ensure our cat got the number of visits required.”


“I had to search for a last minute companion for my daughter's dog and Yani just happened to be available. I cannot express how blessed I feel that I chose Yani. She definitely is beyond a blessing to my daughter's dog Bowser and we both feel so grateful for the love and care that she has shown him. I will continue to use Yani for any services, and I even booked her for my own dog. Incredible is an understatement, she is by far one of the best dog lovers I have met on here ❤”


About: I love dogs and cats, all animals really. I have had my dog for 5 years, I trained her since she was 8 weeks. I am very hardworking and punctual. I will give ur pup love and attention and any guidance needed :) Pet care is my priority everyday as a pet owner, and it would be my top priority to treat others pets with utmost care and provide any services needed. I have a large house and a big backyard. I also love taking walks and I always take my furbaby with me. I have a small 10 pound dog. She is shy and well behaved, mostly sleeps but loves to play. Good with dogs or cats.

“Angela helped us last minute while I was out of town and my partner was busy. She was very communicative and kind. Our pup had to take some medication and she did well with that. Many thanks for your help!”


About: I have always loved care of animals since I’ve been young. I’ve had many occasions where friends and family have asked me to take care of their dogs for a day and they have always been the best experience ! Freshly graduated and still looking for that full time job so I have plenty of time a flexible schedule to help with any last minute doggy needs! I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space to running and playing. I love being outside so I’m constantly in the need to be active and wanting company!

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally since I was 19 — I’m now 26. Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet assistant, a professional groomer, and at a pet store, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. These days, my main focus is boarding, walking, and house sitting — and it’s something I genuinely love doing. What sets my care apart is the family-style experience I offer. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched — they’re becoming part of our daily life. It’s usually me, my young son, and my partner Brian. We go on nature walks, play outside, and include your dog in everything like they’re part of the crew. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s a second home. I’ve found that so many dogs (and their humans) are looking for that feeling of safety, love, and belonging — even if they haven’t put it into words yet. That’s exactly what I try to create here. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including shy rescues, high-energy pups, and seniors. I’m trained in animal behavior, have my own vehicle, and can adapt to your dog’s specific needs and temperament. 🚗 Please note: For boarding in my home, dogs must be comfortable around kids and okay with cats, since we do have both. I want everyone (human and animal) to feel safe and relaxed. Whether your pup needs playtime, quiet time, cuddles, or space, I always meet them where they are — with patience, love, and respect. I work from home part time, so your fur baby will fit in perfectly with my schedule. I am looking for something to do that will occupy more of my time, and what better way than to spend it with a new furry friend to love?! I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat who is more like a dog. I can keep him separate if ever needed. My house is a little over 1,300 sq ft so there’s plenty of space. If you need your pet to be crated I am comfortable with that. As well as if any medication is needed to be given or frequent walks. I will always respect the home of the pet and owner. Just point me where I need to go with some guidance regarding you fue baby’s routine, you are in great hands!

About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 4 years, caring for dogs of all sizes and ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs needing medication and extra love. As a hybrid graduate student, my flexible schedule allows me to be available during the times most pet owners are busy with work or school commitments. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always make sure your fur baby is safe, comfortable, and treated with love. I welcome and follow all routines, care notes, or “love manuals” for feeding, walking, medications, and more. I also love sending photo updates to share completed walks, daily moments, and any other services, so you always feel connected and assured.

About: I have loved pets since I was a kid. I was obsessed with learning about them. After my first pet died, I was very motivated on learning about how to offer pets the very best life, and this comes through research! I have worked with a variety of animals. Working at PetSmart allowed me to get a better hands on experience as it opened a door to working with cats, sick animals who needed medication, and working with large numbers of pets. This also helped me see what methods worked and what methods to avoid when taking care of our beloved pets. I have a very flexible schedule and will be available for you and your pets. I don’t have a set schedule yet due to work and school. Safety is my top priority. You know your pet best, I will work with what I have and incorporate new techniques and ideas once your pet trusts me. I have a porch that is safe meanwhile my garage is being built at the moment.

About: I've always had a love for dogs and have cared for my own dogs since I was 12. My friends and family have asked me to walk, play with, feed, or bathe their pets and I am always happy to help! During the week, I work from home three days out of the five and those days I am responsible for my pets at home and love being able to be home with them. At home I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for play dates. My two dogs are very friendly with other dogs and they are crate trained so they can be easily put away. I do not plan on bringing my dogs for the services that I provide because they have anxiety.

About: I've own pets my whole life. From dogs to Kamoto Dragons to good fish. I take pride in having an animals love and attention. Patience is key. I currently am working on my food truck and have much down time as it's being built. I've been offering service for friends and family during this summer and it's been great. Why not help others all while meeting new pet friends. I am very respectful to the clients request in how to or how not to attend their pets. I have fenced yard and plenty of toys.

“My first booking with Rover. It is a great service to have as opposed to having my pets boarded. Jenny was great! She got along well with my pets, and my pets were very well cared for.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I grew up around ranches. Family, and friends relied on me to watch and care for their pets as they know that I want to become a veterinary doctor some day. I’m currently going to do part time as I work full time at an animal hospital but I can do afternoons About 3 pm till 7 I have a fenced yard. And one dog who enjoys running around and play with the neighbors dog. During the summer I put in a pool for my dog to have when he gets hot.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and pet caretaker, with tons of experience with dogs of all sizes, multiple breeds, puppies, and senior dogs! I was born and raised in Illinois, where I grew up as a caretaker for multiple cats and a German Shepard/Newfoundland mix named Henry, who I helped take care of with my family. I took care of my family’s chihuahua and acclimated him to a new environment. I have taken care of dogs and cats with plenty of unique situations who needed extra love! I moved to Las Vegas in 2016, and I am currently the co owner of 3 rescue pups, who require plenty of love, walks, and playtime. I adopted my dog Zeyda when she was 12 weeks old, and I worked with her a lot using positive reinforcement and attended training with her to help her gain confidence, learn basic life skills and tricks, and walk on a loose leash. I love helping pets and making them happy, giving each one the unique love and care that it needs. I am off during the summer (until August 1st) so I have very open availability! During the rest of the year I work full time, so I am typically available on weekends as well as evenings during the week. I may be available during the week around holidays as well. I have a 2 story house with a fenced yard, and a dog run across the street. My gated neighborhood is dog friendly and perfect for walks. My 2 roommates and I take care of 3 dogs, and they are friendly and loving.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 8 years. Over the years I’ve cared for puppies including litters, elderly dogs with health issues such as seizures, blindness, and being deaf. I’m currently working part time which allows me to watch your pup with a flexible schedule. I have open availability for dog sitting between the hours of 7am-6pm. I can keep your fur baby engaged and out of trouble with playing, enrichment activities and walks! With skills on how to redirect the dog.
