“This my first time using the app and I love it. My dog has separation anxiety from and my husband. She was super patient with my dog creed. Have him space to warm up to her. Best experience! Responded quickly to my check in messages gave great updates! Definitely recommend 10/10”
“Cassidy was wonderful. There were daily updates and the cutest pictures. Even added a last minute walk since my pups were feeling cooped up. She let me know if there were any problems and I came home to happy pups.”
“Emily was so sweet and attentive to my two cats! They loved her. She was great at communicating and placated all my fears. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Annabella is great. She picked up a very short notice drop-in visit, and gave me and my wife peace of mind on our weekend trip. She followed every request I had exactly and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”
About: Animals have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember, and growing up in a household with both dogs and cats taught me how to read their unique body language and personalities. Today, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful cats of my own, so I know firsthand just how much your pets mean to you and the level of care they deserve. I have hands-on experience handling pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages, which includes raising a family dog from a puppy and training him to sit, as well as managing and pet-sitting two energetic 80-pound dogs simultaneously. I am also entirely comfortable with the less glamorous sides of pet care, as I am highly experienced in administering oral pills and various medications to both cats and dogs, maintaining strict routines, and handling unexpected bathroom accidents or cleanups calmly and thoroughly. I work full-time Monday through Friday, making my daytime availability perfect for early morning or evening walks, check-ins, and feeding routines. I am also available for overnight housesitting during the week, though this is typically best suited for independent adult animals who are comfortable being alone during standard work hours. My weekends are completely open and flexible for overnight care, extended daytime sitting, and drop-ins. Because young puppies require constant, round-the-clock supervision and undivided attention, I only accept puppy-sitting bookings strictly on Saturdays and Sundays to ensure your little one gets the dedicated care they need. Building a foundation of trust is my top priority when entering your home to care for your pets. For dogs, this means maintaining strict leash safety during walks, keeping a watchful eye for hazards, and following their established feeding and bathroom routines to minimize any anxiety. For cats, I prioritize a calm, respectful environment, giving them the space they need to feel secure while ensuring litter boxes are pristine and food is fresh. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping it clean, locking up securely, and handling unexpected messes or accidents quickly and thoroughly. Whether keeping a energetic dog safe on a walk or administering medication to a sensitive cat, I am committed to providing a secure, stress-free environment so you can have total peace of mind while you are away.
“Darnell was great with our fur babies! He was super thorough and made sure everything was taken care of each visit. We felt so comforted knowing that, while we were away from home, Darnell was checking in on them, spending some time with them, and taking care of everything they needed. He was also quick to communicate if anything came up and we really appreciated that as well! It’s hard to find a pet sitter with whom you feel totally safe leaving your pets, but Darnell is definitely a sitter that I would request again after seeing how well he treated ours :)”
“Jessica has dropped by on my pupsters on two separate occasions, and I would trust her anytime I need some help. She always provides adorable updates and is communicative. The pups have a great time with her. I will book Jessica everytime if she's available!”
About: Hi- I'm Rikki & Pearl is my adorable, furry shadow. Since delivering her eight puppies, I knew I had found my calling of caring for animals. I pamper animals with holistic care that leaves them feeling squeaky clean and Zen. I’m also dog CPR certified so if tails stop wagging, I’m the lifesaver ready to jump in with treats, belly rubs, and superpowers. I also have extensive experience in senior dog care, ensuring that older pups receive the extra love, attention, and specialized care they deserve. Our home, Pearl's Palace, is like an animal "spa" surrounded by a welcoming community of pet-loving neighbors. With round the clock attention and care, we hope you and your pets find our home as comfortable as we do. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, Pearl makes a great secretary! From the moment your pup arrives, they’re welcomed like family. Mornings often start with a friendly sniff-and-greet, followed by some outdoor play or a stroll around the neighborhood to stretch those legs. If the weather’s nice, supervised pool time keeps things exciting (and doubles as a workout). Midday brings rest in a shaded spot or inside the home, with fresh water always available. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy a mix of play, cuddle breaks, and light grooming—nail checks, brushing, or a spritz of my handmade lavender-infused conditioner for relaxation and bug protection. Afternoon activities may include fetch, enrichment games, or lounging by the pool while soaking up the sun. Evening winds down with a final potty break, gentle pets, and plenty of praise before pick-up or bedtime, so your dog heads home happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little spoiled. I have a tall privacy fence and a Great Dane to keep your pets company. Walks are regular and so is meeting new dog friends. Instructions for in-home care are followed as specified below. *Now Available* LIVE feed to owners so you can talk to them and check in!
“Monique and her husband were professional and flexible with my schedule. It is clear they took very good care of Arti and she looked forward to their visits! Would book again for sure”
“Best experience! She was amazing, patient, and caring! I will definitely book again, and recommend her to my friends! My cats had never been clipped, and they were skittish, but she helped calm them, and get the job done. No issues, they act as if nothing happened! Wonderful experience!”
About: We love our fur babies and have been fostering dogs and cats for years. Every dog becomes a member of our family while they are here! Our furniture is pet-friendly and we have a fenced in back yard. We love to go to the park and hike with our dogs when the weather is pleasant! 🐾 Health & Vaccination Policy 🐾 For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I require that all dogs are up-to-date on the following vaccinations: • Rabies • DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) • Bordetella (kennel cough) Puppies must have completed their full vaccination series appropriate for their age. I may request proof of vaccinations prior to your booking, especially for boarding or daycare stays where pets may be in shared spaces. Additionally: • Dogs should be free of fleas, ticks, and any contagious illnesses • Please let me know if your pet has recently been sick or exposed to illness • Pets showing signs of illness (vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, etc.) may need to reschedule for everyone’s safety I truly care about creating a safe, clean, and stress-free environment for every pet. Thank you for helping me keep all my furry guests happy and healthy! 🐶💛 I have plenty of free time to play with your pets, as I work from home part time. We love walks, so a well behaved dog is always welcome on our walks with us. The children in my life are also dog lovers and will be happy to snuggle, play and dote on your fur baby, too. I have a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and I have a large crate, if needed. For anxious dogs, I have the space to keep your fur baby apart from other animals in my home.
About: I've had pets my whole life from the biggest of dogs to cutest of cats. I'm a very active mom, and fitness lover that could always use a furry partner. 🐕🦺🐈 I'm currently working mornings 7am-3pm, so anytime before 6 am or after 4pm drop off works best for me. I have a back yard as well as 1 lovely cat that usually doesnt mind other cats or dogs being around. My home is clean warm and inviting to all animals. Hooray! As a mom pet care fits into my schedule perfectly. My kids have a lot of fun with all animals that come to our home. I currently moved into a smaller place but my 6 year old son and a young wild & free 3 year old son, who can't get enough of the running he gets to do during my sits.
“Jo is amazing!! My dogs are highly anxious and do not take well to strangers in my home but they absolutely love her! When I used to leave for work they would be depressed but now they aren’t, they actually start playing when I leave which is comforting as I am an anxious dog mom. I trust my dogs with a total of four people and Jo is one of them. She is always so polite and respectful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

Emily was fantastic! Her updates were thorough, thoughtful, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away from our babies. She was attentive, punctual, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and well cared for. It made such a difference knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
We had a great experience with Jessica and will definitely use her anytime we need a cat sitter. We were away for 5 days and she took excellent care of our 8 cats (including two 4 month old kittens). Jessica was very communicative and kept us informed if anything happened. After every visit, she sent photos of each cat and gave a summary of how the visit went. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our babies and was attentive to their individual needs.
I HIGHLY recommend booking with Emily, she was a god-sent! Emily quickly replied to my request; was very thorough and mindful when discussing Luna's needs; responded within a timely manner AND follows through with her "Personalized Pet Companionship" motto. Not only was this my first time using Rover, it was my first time leaving my fur-baby behind and Emily soothed my nerves and anxiety every step of the way. With every visit I received multiple photo updates and a full report of the visit- food & water intake, play time, cuddle time, the full works, etc. And when little things needed to be added to the visit or Luna's routine, Emily did not hesitate to provide. I would definitely rebook with Emily whenever a cat-sitter is needed again.
