“I am consistently impressed with Don’s attentiveness and excellent communication when caring for my two cats! I am a repeat customer of Don’s and will continue to hire him. I am often out of town for long stretches of time for work and I always come home to two happy, well cared for cats. Don always makes note of my cats’ behavior, as well as general care he performed. It’s a comfort knowing that Don is giving thorough attention to detail when I’m away.”
About: I’ve had two dogs, and currently have one at home. I have trained both of these puppies, and with new pets I am not afraid to ask questions or accommodate to your pets’ needs. I am a full-time student, but I am looking for hobbies. I currently live at home so I have a flexible schedule. I already walk my own dog, so getting some more exercise in never hurts. I’d prefer to meet the pets beforehand so that they are comfortable with me. I want to let dogs get the most stimulation out of their walk by letting them sniff a lot.
About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.
About: While I don't own a dog, I have been around them all my life, and have never know i dog I didn't love, or didn't love me. Rover has opened doors for me to meet and relate to new people and pets. I am a supervisor at my job and i also am in school as a grad student, so i take responsibility very seriously. As a dog sitter, I view this as an oppurtunity to connect with different people and of course animals. Also, forcing me to get outside and be more active! I would like to be able to walk your dog, complete check ins, and house sit. Unfortunatley, as much as I would like to, I cannot dog board with my current living status. My schedule is very tight, so I do have to limit myself to the number of clients I take on. The more time advance a booking is offered, the more I will be able to adjust my schedule to meet those requirements. I care to the standards of the pet owners, and frequently send pics an updates as well as I ask questions when necessary. I also do my best to go above and beyond when i can!
“Sophia was incredible. She came to our house and shone as an amazing pet sitter. She had time, experience with pet sitting and she asked all the right questions. She played with our cats and even picked up a bag of chocolate that was on the floor for us which would have been a big hazard. Sophia went above and beyond and did the litter and our cats are very picky. I feel overall the cats were well loved and cared for while we were away which is a great blessing and I’m so glad we booked Sophia to take care of our pet needs. I recommend her 10/10. Thank you Sophia!!!”
“I highly recommend Ivan as someone who will take great care of your pet. He has been doing a great job looking after my dog (1h drop in visits daily). There was a recent minor medical emergency and he handled it extremely well. He is thoughtful and conscientious of the pet’s individual needs. Very grateful to have him!”
About: I’ve loved little dogs all my life! Being around playful cute pups always bring me joy and happiness 🙂 i love going on long walks so your pup will sure get its energy out I currently work part time in the evenings so i have all the morning time from about 8am-11am to take your dog on a good long morning walk. I always keep a close eye on my pets, see if anything changes their mood and if so see what it may be. I love playing with my pets and giving lots of cuddles and attention
About: I've been working with Rover for over 9 years now boarding, house sitting, and dog walking regularly and have gotten the chance to take care of many different dogs of all sizes and cats as well. I own a Lab-Belgium Malinois mix named Toby, so I am very comfortable caring for high energy pups of all ages. I am currently a hybrid employee, so I have flexibility to curl up on the couch with your pet(s), especially on Mondays and Fridays :) As I am currently limited to house sitting, drop-in visits and dog walking, I tend to set up a meet and greet prior to services to determine requirements for the pets in the client’s home. This includes information about crating, whether the pet(s) are allowed to hang out in the back yard, what routine they have in terms of walks, etc.
About: I’m comfortable walking or stopping by for visits for pets of all ages and sizes. I’m good at adjusting to each pet’s routine and personality to make them feel at ease. I have a flexible schedule and I'm available for walks and drop in visits throughout the week including early mornings and late evenings and holidays. During visits and walks, I make sure pets are safe and comfortable by following their usual routines and providing undivided attention and play. I also provide owners with quick updates or photos so they know their pets are happy and safe.
“Max arrived right on time and sent pictures and updates of my cat. He refilled the food and took out the litter just as I requested. Super appreciative of his timeliness!”

My house is puppy proof and safe for all dogs and breeds. I will accommodate the dog’s needs for sleeping whether it is having their crate or sleeping in their bed in the same bedroom.
About: I am available almost anytime all days of the week for walking or for stopping in to feed and play. I love dogs and have cared for many dogs over the past 9 years. I am willing to go on a run with your dog to make sure they get exercise if that is something you are interested in. I love all kinds of dogs, big or small, and have experience caring for a wide variety of dogs. I will go above and beyond to make sure that your dog is happy and cared for while I am with them. I have one dog of my own and she is the most important thing to me in the world and I will treat your dog just like I treat her. I have summers off from work, so I am available every day of the week, anytime of the day and can stay nights whenever needed. I have cared for my dog and other’s dogs for over 9 years and can do whatever is needed with love, to make sure your dog is happy and cared for while you are away. Whether it is just a walk and feed or staying the night and administering meds, I will treat them just like my own dog.
“Marion is absolutely wonderful. She is always quick to respond, takes amazing care of my Luna Tuna, and clearly has a genuine love for what she does. As a bonus, she even loves plants. I could not recommend her more.”
“Highly recommend for any of your pets!! We had Christine drop in for house visitors for our dog and we will def. reach out again! Took excellent care and provided updates everyday; excellent communication!”
“Mia was so great! Our cats loved her and were always so excited to see her while we were away. We were celebrating the life of my mother so it gave us comfort to know our pets were in great care since all of us were gone at the same time. Mia was excellent with communication and updates and the photos she captured and sent were adorable! We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for genuine pet care”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! Hanah is very reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced with dogs, and she takes the time to understand both your needs and your dog’s needs. Her expertise and genuine care gave me complete peace of mind. I was very pleased with the service she provided and would not hesitate to use her again in the future. I highly recommend Hanah to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter or dog walker.
We used Leticia recently to watch our 3 dogs. She did an excellent job. She was communicative, flexible, warm, and friendly. She came out ahead of time to meet our pets and asked appropriate questions. She also sent lots of pictures of our pets so that we knew they were happy and well cared for. We will absolutely be looking for her again in the future.
Nicole is the most kind, patient, friendly, loving dog sitter. She goes above and beyond communicating regularly about her visits. I cannot say enough about her care and integrity when watching my dogs. She dog sat for our 3 older dogs previously. We have 2 new special needs puppies that have hearing and vision issues, one is completely deaf and mostly blind. She was incredible with the two new puppies and our older dog. It was so nice to have peace of mind and know that our dogs were in her very competent care when we were away.
Victoria was amazing!! My boyfriend and I had to go out of town due to a death in my family, and she was available last minute to watch my husky. It was my husky's first time not being around either me or my boyfriend and not having a friend watch her. Despite the separation sadness and anxiety my dog gave off, Victoria was a champ handling her. Will totally book her again!
John was great! Our pup loved him instantly and it was obvious from the photos we received that he enjoyed their walks. Our Bodhi can be an anxious guy and so we appreciated the reassuring updates. Definitely recommend John and hope he’s available the next time we need a sitter!
