“I was very grateful for my granddaughter guiding me to rover.com. I had been anxious as to how to care for my pet while I was out of town and Kaylee fit the bill entirely. I could rest, while away, knowing that Tiger Lily was in her own surroundings and being cared for with fresh food, water and playtime with a stand in human:) The daily updates and pictures with Tiger Lily showing her playful side were an added bonus. I knew Tiger was in good hands when she rolled over on her back near her favorite toy, I know this was her signal to Kaylee, I like you and I trust you! So, thank you Kaylee for being there when a worried Kitty-mom needed help and thank you rover.com for this service to the community!”
“She followed instructions appeared when she said she would and had zero problems my pets loved her and one of the things was when I noticed my dog was missing me in distressed on the security cams my Rover sitter did too and picked her up and hugged her and gave her support to cope.”

“Rachel was amazing. Her check ins with the notes and photos let me know everything that was going on and I fell she went above and beyond with her care for my pup. Will definitely continue to work with her going forward”

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and have several years of experience with dog-sitting. I have brief experience cat-sitting, and I currently have a cat of my own. I work nights part-time, so I have time for pet care, walks during the day, and late-night check-ins. My weekends are completely free for any of your pet needs. I am available to check in on your pets during the day and provide dog-walking services. I am serious about providing your pets with exemplary care.
“Kimberly was an amazing sitter for our kitty cat! She was so communicative, flexible, and friendly to us and our cat. She sent amazing photos of our pet and clear updates on her wellbeing. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Michelle was fantastic! She took amazing care of my 4-year-old Boxer and 13-year-old Chihuahua while we were away. She kept in touch throughout our trip away and sent lots of cute photo updates, which I really appreciated. Both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Michelle again — highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I’m Kaleb and I cannot wait to meet your furry family members. Animals have been the biggest joy in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by family pets, I learned early on the deep bond we share with our animals and exactly what it takes to keep them happy, safe, and thriving. For years, I have been the go to pet sitter for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s keeping up with a strict routine, playing until they're tuckered out, or just providing a quiet, comforting presence, I have experience managing all kinds of personalities and needs. Why Choose Me? I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, even for a short time. My absolute promise to you is that I will take care of your baby exactly like they are my own. When your pet is under my care, they aren't just getting a sitter they are getting an abundance of love, attention, and a safe environment where they can feel entirely at home. What I Offer: A Lifelong Love for Animals: Deep, hands on experience caring for pets of all life stages. Personalized Care: I strictly follow your specific feeding schedules, medication needs, and exercise routines. Constant Communication: I love sending updates, photos, and videos so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away! Early Morning (The Kickoff): This block is all about routine. It’s dedicated to fresh water, breakfast, administerting any strict medication schedules, and a crisp morning walk or solo backyard playtime to get their energy out before the day gets busy. The Midday Check-in (For Drop-ins or High-Energy Pups): For clients who need a little extra attention midday, this block is perfect for a quick check-in, a potty break, or a structured walk to break up their afternoon boredom. Evening (The Wind-Down): Dinner time, evening walks, and a lot of dedicated socialization. This is the time for a solid play session or some deeply deserved couch snuggles to help them settle in for the night. Being a trusted guest in someone’s home means treating the property with the utmost respect and maintaining strict security measures. Securing the Perimeter: Ensuring all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked upon entering and leaving. Alarms and keyboxes are handled with strict confidentiality. Accident & Mess Cleanup: If a pet has an accident, tracks in mud, or makes a mess with food, it is cleaned up immediately using pet safe products to keep the home pristine. Home Basics: Bringing in the mail, watering plants, cycling lights to make the home look occupied, and taking out the trash on designated days are small touches that provide extra value to the owner.
“I don't trust anyone else with my three cats the attention to detail and the amount of love he give our babies is more then I could have imagined I fully recommend using Paul you will always come home yo happy furry babies.”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life! I grew up with dogs in all our families households. I’ve always loved most animals, not a fan of rats!!! Dogs are my favorite, as an adult I’ve either had a dog or watched/cared for friends that had dogs, all sizes all breeds. I’ve dealt with senior dogs who can barely walk due to arthritis and hip dysplasia. I’ve administered pet medications in the past. I work from home and my schedule is flexible enough that it allows for dog walks during the day along with some playtime in the backyard. I have a fenced backyard for your baby to roam and play. Plenty of dog toys and as weather heats up there will be doggie pool for additional outdoor fun. Dogs are allowed to roam and play freely throughout the first floor of home. Crate available if your baby needs it. Plenty of dog beds for lounging.
“Annabelle is the best. She was patient with my senior cat, Pua. Pua was very weel taken care of. I received numerous photos of her to reassure me of her well-being. When I arrived home, Pua was is a great mood, which instantly let me know that Annabelle spent adequate time with her to ensure her comfort over all else. i highly recommend Annabelle for your cat-sitting needs.”
About: Hi, I currently have no animals fyi so it makes it nice for your pet. I’m very fast and responsive. I’m an entrepreneur so my schedule is very open. ! Love animals. I have a large turfed patio that dogs love to play fetch in. Doggy door. I grew up with dogs all my life. I’ve had pugs, frenchies, Belgium melanois. I’m good at reading what the dogs need and making them feel loved. I’ll always have water and food and they are welcome on the furniture and doggy bed. I can take them for car rides to the coffee shop or walk around old town whatever your preferences. I am semi retired so as long as I’m not on vacation I’m free. Work from home. I’m up very early so I can accommodate there. I’m usually in bed about nine wake up about six. I have a tall fenced patio that is large with turf and shade in privacy. Doggy door.

Desert Shores pet parents share their Rover experiences
As always, Alyssa has done a fantastic job. She took great care of my dogs, kept me updated with pictures—especially of the one I’m closely monitoring—and gave her extra attention and care. I truly appreciate everything she does and always love having her help. I 100% recommend her.

Emily dropped in twice to check on my pup while I was at my sister’s wedding. She walked with him, sent updates and photos, and put my mind totally at ease! She also came over in advance to meet Finn & I, which I really appreciated. I will definitely hire her again.

Jessicah is wonderful. Jessicah dropped by every evening to check-in on Nefertiti and to my surprise the elusive outside cat (who has no name) made an appearance. Pets seem to like and trust Jessicah. If you need someone to pop by your place while you are away to care your for pets, I would 100% recommend Jessicah.

We’ve been so happy with Harold! This was our first time using Rover since we’ve always had friends or family watch our dogs, but when they weren’t available, Harold stepped in and made us feel completely at ease. On his first stay, our dog Monterey was absolutely terrified, she barked, kept her distance, and wouldn’t let him near her. Harold was calm, patient, and respectful the entire time. With persistence and kindness, he was able to earn her trust, and by the end, she had completely warmed up to him. Both times he has cared for our dogs, Harold has been punctual, reliable, and very professional. We feel confident leaving our pets in his care and are so grateful to have found him!

Michelle is beyond great can’t explain at first i was hesitant my dogs won’t like her but they both love her. Michelle checked in and kept me posted every single time which I appreciate I will be booking with her again. Thank you Michelle again for being the best ❤️
