“Jessica took care of our pup for 9 days. She is Very reliable and flexible and kept us well informed during our trip. We felt fully comfortable her staying in our house. Warm recommendation for Jessica to take care of your dog 👍”

“If I could give McKenna 10 stars I would! McKenna house sat our 4 year old pup Finley for 6 days/ nights while we took a family trip. Not one day went by without pictures and lovely communication about Fin! Our boy was so well taken care of and loved, we felt incredibly comfortable and secure simply knowing she was there with him. Ty again McKenna!!”

About: Hi, I have a 4 yr old golden retriever named Summer who gets a lot of exercise and socialization. I have a 15 yr old small mixed named Cooper as well. I’ve taken care of geriatric dogs in the past (that I owned) so I’m familiar with both sides of the spectrum in dog care. I’ve also had other pets like cats and exotics such as sugar gliders and hedgehogs. My weekly routine currently consist of daily walks after work for both of my dogs. The weekends are for dog parks, the beach, or any activity that is being hosted for dogs. I have a yard my pets take advantage of but they are spoiled and are always by my side and I care for them deeply daily. There’s lots of attention, play time, snacks as I work from home.

About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.

About: I provide attentive, loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home, following their routines for feeding, walks, play, and rest. I respect their space and personality, offering companionship while keeping them safe and happy. In addition to pet care, I do light house cleaning during my stay and before I leave, including tasks like sweeping, washing dishes, wiping counters, tidying bathrooms, and changing bedsheets. My goal is to leave both your pet and your home happy, secure, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets consistent, unrushed attention throughout the day — from walks and feedings to playtime and quiet companionship. I plan my schedule carefully so I’m never overbooked and can stay fully present, making sure each pet gets the care, consistency, and attention they’re used to. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I tailor my approach based on the specific service and each pet’s unique needs. My priority is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible — whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship. For drop-in visits, I focus on essentials like feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks or litter care, and spending quality time with the pet so they feel comfortable and not alone. For longer stays or house sitting, I provide more continuous care, including walks, enrichment, maintaining routines, and being a calm, steady presence throughout the day. I also take care of the home while I’m there by doing light cleaning such as dishes, wiping counters, sweeping, tidying bathrooms, and removing bedsheets before I leave. I treat both the pet and the home with respect and attention to detail. Overall, I adapt to each situation to make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and at ease in their own environment while giving owners peace of mind.
“Tara is wonderful. She takes great care of our senior dog, sending updates and pictures daily. She also takes incredible care of our home - it is always spotless when we return. She was super flexible when we had to change travel plans last minute. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“We had River care for our senior Labrador while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with -- conscientious in her preparations, very communicative throughout the stay giving us updates multiple times each day . She was able to accomodate all of our dog's idiosyncracies. At the end of the weekend everyone was happy! Will definitely work with River again.”

About: My name is Erica and I am an enthusiastic and dedicated caretaker for your pets and plants! I have been a babysitter since I was 14 years old, and have extended my services to petsitting in the last year. I have experience in taking care of small to medium sized dogs, young and old, for family and friends as needed in the past and want to extend my dog sitting care to my community. I am happy to housesit as well as walk, feed, and care for your pets, and most importantly, foster a safe and happy environment for them. I can't wait to meet your beloved companions and befriend them too. I am available for evening petsitting or walks after 5pm on weekdays, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, overnights on weekends only. I can accommodate for your schedule if needed. I have reliable transportation to your home and will be respectful of your living space and your pet's routine. I am happy to give your dog a walk, take them out for breaks, feed, and/or entertain them as needed.
“You did an Excellent job with our boys. They were Happy and Content when we returned. We appreciated all the pictures and updates along the way. We definitely would like to use you again. Thank you for a great job.”

About: Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had an animal around the house. Whether it was my parents cats, my family dogs, or my grandparents fosters, there has always been an animal in my household! I love entertaining them and playing with them, and I do my best to make sure they feel loved and safe in their spaces! I am a college student who works as a substitute teacher, so weekends are the main time I can provide your pet with the best service possible! But, if you communicate ahead of time and are nearby, I’m sure we can figure out a time for me to drop in, or the chance of me staying overnight to care for your pet! When coming into your home, I want to make sure that I am the best guest possible. Not only do I want your pet to be comfortable with me in their space, but I want you to feel comfortable with me caring for them. Give me the ground rules, the entire run down, and I will put my best foot forward to show you I’m somebody you can trust.
“Karen was great! She was on time, kind and considerate. Excellent communicator! I felt immediately at ease leaving Luci with her. Luci took to her immediately and seemed kind of sad to see her go after we got home. Will be using her again for sure!”


About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate social work student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until August. I can make myself available as needed. My own pets are given daily care. I own several disabled animals who require special care in order to get around and eat on their own. I currently have two budgies in a large cage l and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away when your pets are being boarded. In your home, I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet — but I do reserve the right to cuddle your pet a little more!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I’m patient, loving, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and giving lots of affection. Whether your pet is energetic or shy, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine for walks, feeding, and playtime. Your pet will never feel rushed or ignored I make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where your pet can feel at home. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to making sure your pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.
About: Gentle & reliable dog walker. Grew up with a Labrador, so I know the love (and energy!) dogs bring. Your pup’s safety & fun always come first 😊. My schedule is pretty relaxed. I have a part-time job from 4-8 pm Monday-Wednesday and work from home Thursday and Friday. Weekends are also generally free, but sometimes I have to take time to help take care of some stuff for my parents. My fenced-in backyard and the safety of my neighborhood provide peace of mind. Since I don’t have any other pets in my home, you can rest assured that your pets won’t encounter any issues or conflicts within the household.

Colonia pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Vanessa was amazing! Our pups all have very different needs and personalities, and she handled each of them with patience, attention, and care. When we got back, the dogs were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in capable hands. We’re so grateful to Vanessa and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring!

Shandy and her husband Brian took great care of Jax! We felt he was in safe and caring hands with them. They shared frequent updates with pictures and we could tell he was warming up to them. Our house was left very clean. Jax looks forward to seeing them again!
