Vi is a very caring and thoughtful cat sitter. Both of my cats are well cared for because she took note of their personalities and was able to understand their needs on top of following the guide I left behind about them. From how to use their litter robot, auto feeders, to their preferred way to play she was able to do it all.

Krystal is amazing!! She is so sweet and gentle with dogs, I can tell she is an animal lover. She was also willing to stop by twice in one day to check on my dog and provided pictures/updates every time😊 I always feel comfortable knowing Dobby is in good hands with Krystal!

About: Hi! I’m a teacher on summer vacation looking for a fun way to stay active, get some extra steps in, and spend time with dogs this summer ☀️🐾 I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a very friendly golden retriever at home who loves making new friends.

Whether your dog needs a quick walk, some playtime, company during the day, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re safe, cared for, and happy. As a teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and used to keeping routines organized and consistent. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for someone you love, and I’ll treat your pet like one of my own 💛 I’m a teacher on summer break so I’m available most summer for your pet care needs! I love getting my runs and daily steps in with my dog and love going to the park to play! I’m reliable, communicative, active, and genuinely love being around animals.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own at home - small, medium and large. An aloof golden retriever, a rescue from the streets of Mexico, and a dog in heart failure - requiring medication 3 times a day. I am experienced with all types of dogs, and regularly attend dog training and pack walks with our dog trainer on the weekend. I currently work remote, so I am able to work from your home, as needed, to look after your pets closely and carefully. I can make sure they get proper bathroom breaks, walks, and structure that is needed! I am comfortable working within the boundaries you have established for your pets. Whether you like to keep your pets crated at night or not, I can accommodate what you'd like!

About: I absolutely adore dogs and truly understand that each one has its own unique personality, needs, and comfort level. Whatever your dog needs while you’re away, I’m here to provide it with care, attention, and consistency. I treat every dog as if they were my own,safe, loved, and fully included in my daily routine. Whether it’s hanging out, playing, or just relaxing together, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making them feel at home. Your dog’s comfort is my priority. Since I’m home full-time, I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your dog’s routine and needs. I’m also very easy to reach and committed to clear communication. I provide affection, companionship, and a calm environment—not cages. My goal is to make your time away easier for both you and your dog. YOU LEAVE THEM,I LOVE THEM!!!! Pet care is naturally built into my daily life since I’m home full-time and have a flexible schedule. On a typical day, I structure my routine around the dogs in my care,this includes morning walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I also make time for enrichment activities like interactive play, calm bonding time, and simply keeping them comfortable and relaxed. Throughout the week, I maintain consistency so dogs feel secure and settled. Their routine becomes part of my routine,not an “add-on,” but a priority woven into my day. Because I’m home, I’m able to respond quickly to their needs, whether that’s extra potty breaks, attention, or just being present so they don’t feel alone. My focus is always to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that feels as close to home as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, routines, medications, and any special needs. Dogs are never left feeling isolated,since I’m home full time, they receive consistent attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Daily care includes scheduled potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding at their normal times, and plenty of affection and downtime. I make sure each pet has a space where they can relax and feel secure, while also encouraging healthy activity and engagement. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space completely and maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I ensure everything is kept clean, secure, and exactly as instructed, while also providing updates so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. My priority in either setting is simple: safety, consistency, and making sure every pet feels loved, understood, and well cared for.

Shianne took such good care of our two cats this summer. One of our cats is pretty timid, Shianne went out of her way to make him feel more comfortable. That meant a lot knowing our little guy wasn’t hiding scared during her visits while we were away. I highly recommend Shianne!

Lily was great! Was able to step in on short notice. Our Taco is a little nervous around new people and Lily's energy was great and he was able to warm up to her while our family was away on vacation. We highly recommend Lily to anyone, and would certainly have her come check on our pets if the need would ever arise again. Thanks, Lily and Rover.com!

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. I have experience in taking dogs on walks, providing them their medication, doing over night stays per the owners request, feeding them, and picking up after any mess they make. I try to let the dogs out 3-4 times a day, along with a walk if they are able to. I provide daily updates to the owners on how their pet is doing, provided with pictures and/or videos so they do not have to worry too much about their furry friend! This summer I am flexible to do overnight stays and daily visits to accommodate your pets needs. I have a very flexible summer job where I can petsit during the week and during the weekend! I am unable to accommodate the animal in my own home, but in the clients home I make sure that the floor is clear of any dangerous objects that the animal might get a hold of, along with clearing countertops if the animal is able to reach something unsafe on it. I lock the doors, and turn off all the lights when I leave, and if the animals needs to be in its kennel, I will do so per the owners request.

About: Local TCU student home for the summer who loves animals and is looking for a fun, flexible side gig. I’m responsible, easygoing, and happy to hang out with dogs and treat them like my own. I’m currently home for the summer working a part-time job and looking to fill the gaps with pet care. I already take care of my energetic Duck Tolling Retriever, so I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, and general care. Attention to your pet, routines, and instructions are my top priority! I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and feel comfortable and relaxed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure. My own dog is always on the move, so I’m used to staying aware of things like open doors and food left out.

About: Hi! I’m McKenna 😊 I’m a huge animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a high-energy pup, Ruthie, who has completed both basic and advanced training, and a cat named Binx—so I truly understand the different needs, personalities, and routines of both! For dogs, I’m very comfortable with high-energy and excitable pups and can help reinforce basic training like sit, stay, place, and leash manners. I love getting them out for walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. For cats, I know every cat is different—some want attention and playtime, while others prefer space and routine. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box care, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. Whether your cat is social or more independent, I’ll meet them where they’re at. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love. I’m also big on communication and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease 🤍 Experienced with: • Dog walking, drop-ins, and sitting • Cat check-ins and care 🐱 • High-energy dogs + basic training reinforcement • Crate routines and structured environments • Feeding schedules and medication instructions Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I am available Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays, morning, mid afternoon and night time! Whatever you need throughout the day, I’m your girl and I would love to help look after your pet! When I go to your home, I want to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. I will be patient as I know some animals take a bit to warm up. I will make sure to give them all the pets, get their energy out by playing or going on walks.

About: Being around animals is a big part of who I am. I started getting real experience pretty young, working at an animal hospital when I was 14, which taught me a lot about how to properly care for pets and pay attention to their needs. Since then, I’ve helped deliver and care for over four litters of puppies (32 in total!) so I’m very comfortable with dogs at all stages. I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they often need a little extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I make sure every pet I watch feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I live in a clean, friendly neighborhood with a really active and welcoming community, so it’s a great environment for dogs. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m home throughout the week and my job is flexible, so I have plenty of time to be around pets during the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule easily when needed and give pets consistent attention and care. I’m a clean, respectful, and easygoing person, and I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable wherever they are. I pay attention to their routine, keep things calm, and treat every home with care and respect. I also have a fenced backyard where pets can safely spend time outside.

About: Pet sitter in Newport. Quite new to Rover with little experience here now, but I’ve also looked after my own pets always. I’m reliable and calm. I rescued my cat after she was abandoned by ex neighbor and she’s a happy indoor cat now. Flexible schedule and I can come any time of the day. Available most days. Newport Beach, working mainly locally. Send me a message, thank you. For boarding I’m often home during the day too, but sometimes out. Let me know how anything specific you’d like me to do. I will take care of your pets and make sure they’re happy, safe and healthy.

My husband and I are currently working from home and have couple of hours open everyday to walk the dog and take them to the park.

About: I grew up with St Bernard’s and Labs, so big dogs are no sweat! But I’ve also had the pleasure of having small dogs and cats throughout my life, making me an excellent, versatile choice. Hairstylist by day, pet sitter also by day. And night! I make my own schedule, so I can give extra care to your sweet babies! Whilst I don’t offer boarding, I do lead with a safety first mindset. I avoid leash greets, and overall focus on preemptively stopping any issues. Your and your pets comfort and safety are my top priorities!

About: I have three rescued pets at home: an 8-year-old (reactive) lab mix, a super friendly 8-year-old cat, and a shy 4-year-old cat. This gives me a pretty good idea of how to handle different pet personalities! My pup needs some extra care and attention, which has taught me how to manage reactive behaviors and create safe spaces by reinforcing routines. I also know how to help shy pets feel comfortable and secure. What makes me stand out is my ability to cater to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s using positive reinforcement for training or just providing a cozy, loving environment. I’m all about making sure your pets feel happy and relaxed while you’re away! I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets! I have plenty of availability throughout the day for drop-ins or walks; just let me know what you need. When it comes to caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, trust, and keeping a calm environment. I stick to their routines—like feeding and walking schedules—and use their favorite toys to help them feel comfortable. Safety is super important, so I’m dedicated to creating a secure space for your pets. I really believe in getting to know each pet and understanding their unique needs and behaviors, which helps me anticipate any situations that might come up. Building trust is essential, so I take the time to make sure they feel relaxed and at ease with me. Overall, my goal is to provide loving and attentive care that keeps your pets happy while you’re away!
