“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”


“Thank you Seneca! I appreciate you coming over to the house and giving Dante his medicine. I love the report you provide on his activity and pictures. You are a caring and loving dog mom!!”


“My cat adored Ali. They played and cuddled, and of course Ali fed her well and groomed her and took good care of her and the house. She reliably kept her appointments for two weeks and sent me great photos and messages twice a day. I will absolutely use Ali's services again!”


About: I have worked in zoos, wildlife rehabs, and shelters for over 5 years. I am well-versed in operant conditioning training and provided medication to many species including dogs, cats, and birds. My schedule is very flexible, so I can drop by to care for your pet in your home anytime that fits your schedule! I am not available for boarding pets at my home at this time. I am unavailable for long term stays, e.g. longer than one week I always take into account the owner's preferences for their pet. I will adapt to the way you want your pet to be cared for. With my background in the zoo field, working inside specific parameters is how animals get the best care in the way they are used to.

“Michael was wonderful with my cat while I was traveling. Very kind, communicative and professional. He even left her an extra little bag of treats. Highly recommend.”



“This was my first time using Rover & it could not have gone any better! Kristen is an incredibly easy going and reliable person for any of your pet needs. This was the longest I was away from my cat, so having Kristen provide the checkins really put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip. I will definitely be requesting her services in the future if needed!”


“My 2 kitties received excellent care during my recent trip. Tabatha kept them fed, watered, and entertained- she even brought in packages that were delivered! She is a marvelous cat sitter and I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Five stars!”


“Sam was the best! She was able to accommodate my last minute check ins on my two boys. I felt safe letting her into my home. I arrived home to them waiting and they were well taken care of. I 100% recommend and will use her services in the future.”


“Stephanie was so good with my dogs during the drop in visits. She was a hit even with my shy dog. She sent pictures/updates and was even willing to help with non dog-related stuff which really made my day out of town so much less stressful. Would highly recommend!”


“Savannah did a wonderful job watching my cats this past weekend. She was willing to come to the house for a meet and greet the weekend prior and checked in with a Rover card and sweet photos of the cats during her drop-in. Would definitely recommend!”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I also have some light training experience. I’m a night owl but can be up early too, so I’m happy to take on late night or early morning pet care as needed. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of care needs. I’m calm, confident, and attentive with animals, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm a mature, patient, and responsible woman with an enthusiastic love for animals. I would be honored if you you'd allow me to put my years of responsibility and experience to use with your fur family! I have a very flexible schedule and a huge heart. Pets have given me so much for so little in exchange. I have all the time and energy for the doggos that need it! I have a two-story townhouse with a fenced-in yard. We have a dog run in our gated community and several parks close by for sniffing exploration.

“Madelynne was very communicative and reliable in dropping in on our two very active dogs for a long weekend. She was professional and polite. She even helped sort out an issue with our auto cat feeder while we were away. We would definitely book her again.”


“After we fired our first sitter (at the beginning of our trip) for the lack of care she gave to our 2 dogs, we messaged multiple sitters hoping to find someone quickly who could provide better care for our girls. Samantha messaged me back first, and she accommodated us with our last minute request with grace. She was EXCEPTIONALLY better than our last sitter - on time, communicative, and good with our girls. We could tell from the photos that our dogs really liked her and her daughter, and it put me at ease so we could finish the last of our trip de stressed, knowing that our girls were getting good care. We will absolutely be reaching out to Samantha again for future visits!!!”


About: I have cared for my own pets, friends pets, and family members pets for decades, including multiple senior pets and those with specific medical needs. I work from home and have my own pets who are spoiled with constant company and attention to needs. I walk my own dogs in the morning throughout the summer to avoid the hottest part of the day. It is unlikely I am ever out of the house for more than 90 minutes, ensuring that neither your nor my own dogs are left unattended for long enough to become anxious. My backyard is fully shaded, fenced, and has a small pond. Even on the hottest days my backyard is suitable for lounging despite the high desert heat.

Kimberly L.
“Hello! I have two four-legged girls that I love very much. I am a picky dog mom who always wants the best for them, as you do for yours. I occasionally have to go out of town and want to be sure they are well cared for. I lost my last caregiver, so I did lots of research in my community and had good reports on Kimberly. She certainly lived up to her recommendations, and perhaps even exceeded them. She understands dogs, and after meeting my pitties, she was happy to care for them. We arranged for check-in calls, she took them for walks and played with them. I had a special request for certain rubs and massages, and it was no problem. When I picked up my girls, they were happy, clean, and energetic. I think you can be confident in Kimberly's care for your fur babies.”

Jason G.
“Jason is great! When we met I could tell he gets animals. My cat is usually shy around new people, but warmed up to him almost instantly, and that never happens. Jason has a calm, gentle presence that both my cat and my small terrier responded to with total trust. While I was away Jason kept me updated with daily messages, adorable photos, and little notes about how my pets were doing. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. When I returned, my home was just as I left it, and my pets were relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, Jason is the one. Responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring. He’s everything you want in a pet sitter. I’m so grateful we found him!”


Savannah A.
“Savannah is awesome, when I go on my business trips I’m completely put at ease knowing she has everything covered, thanks, you’re truly the best!”
Del Norte pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and Blake made me feel comfortable right away. Blake was very professional and you could tell that they loved animals and truly cared about their well being. I received daily updates and pictures of my cuties as well as overall reassurance that all was going well while I was gone. Thanks Blake! I’ll definitely rebook in the future!

I can’t say enough about the wonderful care Alexa took with my senior kitty. She was kind, responsible, communicative and definitely made my vacation worry free. It’s so wonderful to know you can go away and count on someone to be there for your furry family member.

This was the first time I used this site and I had Brigid come over and watch my two little girls for a couple of days. everything seems perfect The girls acted kind of weird when I came back, I'm thinking that they were just mad at me for deserting them I think they thought that they were up for adoption because some lady was coming to take care of them haha! I will definitely use them again. Thank you Brigid.
