“Geneva was fantastic with my kitties! She was super responsive and knowledgeable. I felt super comfortable leaving my cats to her for the holidays. Even my cat who is skiddish warmed up quickly to her! Highly recommend for anyone who wants an attentive and friendly sitter. Thanks, Geneva!!”


“Rachel, Thank you so much for the excellent care you’ve given Tufay, the garden, flower pots and Mr. Toad. You are an excellent care giver. You have our highest recommendation. Best regards, Stephanie & Vern”


“Rhiannon watched our cats during our Christmas vacation and we knew they were in great hands. She was very sweet with them, and we were so grateful to have her as our sitter. We definitely recommend Rhiannon, and will go to her first if we need pet sitting services in the future. Thanks again Rhiannon! -Aaron and Emily”


“Leslie was so wonderful to my babies. I cannot praise her enough! She helped me when I was in a bind which will not be forgotten. She took pictures of her playing with them with frequent updates, as well. She is definitely worth 5 stars. If there was 6 stars, she would get them!”


About: From time to time for the past 3 years I have taken proper care of my family’s pets outside my home but I can confidently say that I’ve been taken care of my own pets for my whole life! There hasn’t been one day that’s gone by where I haven’t taken care of them somehow. I’ve naturally grown the knowledge over the years how to properly care for small and large dogs and of course, cats! Right now I am temporarily working a part-time job, I am usually scheduled early in the mornings or evenings. I have to work around my job schedule which changes every week but I know my work schedule 2 weeks in advance. I have experience with scheduled feedings twice a day for dogs, daily feeding for cats, giving fresh water everyday, switching dogs and letting them outside throughout the entire day. I have experience with kennels for my own dogs sleep in their kennels. I have lots of experience with dogs that have to stay separated from one another due to dog fights, (my pets don’t like each other). I also have experience dog walking, playing and being able to identify changes in their well-being. I perform all these duties everyday with my own dogs and have experience doing so outside of my home. I take care of dogs that aren’t mine like my own according to the customers needs.

“Gabriella was fantastic. She was prompt with her updates and always updated me if life happened and she was going to be a bit late. It was so obvious that she genuinely care for my animals and enjoyed her time with them. I was hesitant to leave my kittens let alone have someone I don’t know check on them without me there but Gabriella quickly melted those worries. She was always quick to respond to me and I don’t plan to look for anyone else in the future. Highly recommend requesting Gabriella for any of your pet needs!”


About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years. Big and small I love to play and make sure all their needs are accommodated so they are happy tail waggers at the end of the day. I work full time however have plenty of time in the after noon to be able to care for your pets after 630pm. I also am free on Tuesdays and Sundays and Saturdays before 2 and after 630pm. I have a fenced yard giving your pet the room to run in and I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I do have a fur baby myself who loves to meet new friends so they can be buds.

“Danielle was very compassion and caring with my little pup! She follows instructions very well and is easy to communicate with! Will be reaching out again to have her visit my pup! Thank you!”


About: I have experience with taking care of small and medium sized dog’s of all kinds, plus I have experience with cat’s and even live stock experience! I charge for all animals being watched, if you add more animals you will have to pay for them I am currently available anytime, I don’t have anything going on right now my availability is open every day for drop in visits, dog walking etc! My cat loves attention and companionship from anyone, he love’s to play and be brushed as well as eat and take naps with me, he loves to sit and listen to me play guitar as well I am free all the time right now so please let me know! And I willl set up a meet and greet and then we will go from there! I always make sure everyone's fur babies are well cared for! I stop by and spend time with them, give them food and water as needed and I love playing with animals!

“Our cat really seem to enjoy having someone stop in and visit with him while we were out of town with family. Julie was very respectful of our home, always made sure our house was locked/alarmed when she left after the visit and treated our fur baby really well. She's very nice, a good communicator and was accommodating, not that we asked for a lot. She also agreed to water my plants on one of the visits during the week that we were gone. We even got adorable pictures of our cat on our Rover cards during her visits. We had a really reassuring experience having her as our pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be contacting her for our next trip out of town.”


“Vanessa visited with my girls while I was away, and took the best care of them. They were instantly comfortable with her and Vanessa took care in giving them the attention and play time they need before their dinner, keeping them happy during a lonely time :) thank you Vanessa!”


About: With 30+ years caring for my own pets and 15 years sitting for friends, I bring gentle, attentive care to cats and dogs alike. Belly rubs, cuddles, and kindness are always included. I prioritize comfort, routine, and emotional well-being—especially for shy, or sensitive pets. I’m currently in a relocation phase and not working full-time, so my schedule is wide open for pet care. I love spending time with animals—whether it’s drop-in cuddles, playtime, or checking in on their routines. I treat each visit like a little ritual of comfort and joy, tailored to their unique needs. I offer drop-in care only and do not host pets in my home. During visits, I create a calm, nurturing environment tailored to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. I focus on gentle engagement—playtime, cuddles, and reassurance—while also keeping an eye on food, water, litter, and any medications or requests. Each visit is customized with loving attention to detail.

“Erin was so communicative, and clearly so full of love for critters! I would absolutely recommend her if you’re looking for confidence in knowing your furry loved ones will be cared for like they are her own.”


About: I love all animals! There aren’t any that I can think of that I wouldn’t care for in a home. I’ve been taking care of animals since a child and currently have 2 dogs and 2 ducks and a fish. I can also care for rodents and reptiles. I have open availability for all jobs. I prefer to either drop in and out or board them at my house as needed due to my own animals. At home, we have a large fenced yard and I walk our dogs daily. I feed according to your specifications and am flexible to your pets needs. At your place, I like to go over your pet's favorite things to do there and see where the toys are kept!

“As always, Brianna always does a good job with my fur babies! She took them out on time and stayed with them the whole time! She always send me pictures! She also took out my trash which I appreciate! She’s worth all the money in the world!!”


About: “I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, including puppy training, senior pet care, and offering comfort and companionship that feels like home.” “Pet care is a priority in my routine, ensuring every pet gets dedicated time for feeding, play, walks, and affection, while maintaining a consistent schedule that aligns with their needs.” “In my home, I create a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and comfort. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while maintaining their familiar surroundings.”

About: I have always been around dogs my whole life, I currently have two fur babies of my own. I have a lot of love for dogs in general, and I would love to take care of your baby as well. I currently work in the mornings, I am available after 3 PM until 10 PM. I am also available all day on weekends if needed. I have experience with larger dogs making it easier to be able to restrain and crate a dog if needed. I am able to accommodate all sizes to offer a comfortable experience for any dog.

About: Hi! My name is Alyssa Rivera, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years. From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing a little extra TLC, I’ve had the joy of working with animals of all ages and personalities. I’ve provided daily walks, feeding, medication administration and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Whether it’s a weekend pet-sitting job or a regular walking schedule, I treat every pet as if they were my own—loving, patient, and always attentive to their unique needs. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and make sure their furry companions are happy, healthy, and safe. I am currently a stay-at-home parent with a highly flexible schedule, and I have reliable childcare in place to ensure I can give my full attention to caring for your dog or cat. I maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding according to schedule, ensuring fresh water is always available, providing daily exercise or playtime, administering medication if needed, and keeping the pet’s environment clean (like litter boxes or bedding). I also offer companionship to help reduce stress while their owner is away and provide regular updates to keep owners reassured.

Desert Spring Flower pet parents share their Rover experiences
Arianna went above and beyond to take care of my two cats in an RV in 100+ temps. Normally they are shy with a new catsitter, and they trusted her right away. I booked several months early, and she proactively reached out to confirm. I highly recommend Arianna for her friendliness, concern, communication, and reliability!
