“Kristina truly went above and beyond when watching my dog while I was away. She recorded videos of every check in and walk, she sent updates on how he was doing and any possible concerns at the house, and she went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable during this crazy heat wave. I really appreciate her diligence and will definitely book again!”
“She did everything as asked and was quick and reliable when I needed someone to come check on my dog while I am at work. Will continue to book her as long as she is available :)”
“Jaime was amazing! He took great care of our two dogs, Rocky and Sky, while we were on vacation. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell he truly cares about animals—both Rocky and Sky were happy and well cared for when we returned. The house was just as we left it, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We’d definitely trust Jaime again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable person.”
“Dana is a kind-hearted person that truly loves dogs, and my dog LOVES Dana! She will provide great communication and give your pet the special attention it deserves. Dana is flexible and accommodating, and we are very happy to have someone like Dana that we can rely on.”
“Casey was so detailed when caring for our dogs. She really went above and beyond. You can definitely tell she is a dog person. I’m really glad we found someone trustworthy and reliable to care for our 3 dogs and we’ll be using her when we go away again.”
“Douglas is extraordinary. Truly, I have never felt more comfortable having a sitter in my home taking care of my kitties. He displayed high professionalism, kindness, and dedication to this job and animals. During the meet and greet he was very personable, asked questions, and we could tell he was incredibly knowledgeable about cats. I requested extra photos, and he went above and beyond, even sending me videos and giving me updates during the sit and not just via the Rover Card! I left very detailed notes, and he did every single thing I asked for, even opening and closing my curtains for my plants! My kitties LOVED him. I've never seen them warm up to a new person SO quickly, especially my male cat, who is usually broody and will hide. Not only did he not hide, but he took treats from Douglas!! I am very impressed by Douglas and his work ethic, not only meeting the needs of my kitties and caring for them with compassion but also exceeding my expectations (which is admittedly VERY hard to do lol.) He was extremely communicative and took extra measures to make sure my kitties AND myself were comfortable. I cannot emphasize how relieved and worry-free I was during my camping trip, where I didn't have service most of the time. I was not stressed at all, knowing they were in good hands, which has never happened with a sitter before. Even sitters I trusted, I still worried. We have had several sitters over the years and none of them even come close to Douglas. If you're not booking with him, you're crazy. He is a MUST HAVE and I will never book with anyone else again (desperately praying that he will always be available lmao.) I'm so incredibly grateful to him!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets beginning with household pets as a child. About ten years ago, I adopted my first pet of my own and have had one ever since. I regularly take care of neighbors’, friends’, and referred (and repeat) clients’ pets of a variety of ages, temperament, and health condition with love and joy. I love caring for animals and am confident in my ability to handle any challenges pet care may throw at me. I have been pet/housesitting part time for several years and have recently shifted to a more full-time basis. This has enabled me to build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I do my very best to accommodate any feeding, walking, or medication routines that pets may be used to. I make myself available throughout the day for questions or updates, and if I cannot immediately respond, I do so as soon as I can.
About: Pet care is not just a job for me but a full time career. I have completed pet care coursework; a history caring for those with special needs, internal connections with PetSmart Inc professionals, and daily care for my beloved 5 dogs & 5 cats. I’m currently available weekdays and weekends willing to accommodate client’s busy schedules. I have graduated from school and ready to work full time caring for domesticated animal breeds. I have a very clean and spacious suburban home with one small indoor cat and one small dog. No children. Smoke free. Outdoor security camera present. *** I am very comfortable working in all types of client environments.
About: I always take priority in trying to get tailored to any dog’s personality, 24/7 contact with the owner to make them more comfortable, and I make sure they have an accessible source of water. Even though I’m currently in college right now I am looking after my 2 cats and 2 dogs with not much to do all day. I usually take my two dogs on a walk in the early mornings after they have their breakfast and one in the afternoon I also do checks if they need to use the restroom by taking them out for about 10 minutes. With my cats I feed them in the morning, play with their favorite toys, and most of the time just hangout together either petting them and sometimes talking.
About: I’ve always loved animals and I have animals myself so I have experience handling and giving medication to cats and dogs. I would love to give love and attention to your fur babies. As I look for a full time job as a veterinary assistant. I will have plenty of time to look after your fur babies and give them all the love and support that they need. As I care for your pets whether I am dropping in or going for a walk. I will make sure they have water, food, lots of attention. I would take care of them as I do with my own.
About: From a young age, I've engaged myself in the world of animal companionship, taking on the responsibility of caring for dogs and cats within my family and neighborhood as well as my own. In present time, I have transitioned into the role of an ABCDT Certified dog trainer, dog walker and pet sitter channelling my love and passion for animals. I’m working part time and have plenty of time for your pups and cats! My schedule on Saturdays I am available from 8am to 8pm, while my weekday hours are 7am-2pm for now. Safety is very important to me and I make sure to take the proper procedures to make sure your pets are safe. I make sure pets under my care are always supervised, and avoid any hazardous areas and always aware of my surroundings during walks. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a loving and secure environment that promotes the overall well-being of the pets entrusted to my care and I hope to provide that security with my pet CPR certification as well.
“Alyson watched my cat when I was out of town for a long weekend and was great! Teddy was happy and well fed when I came home. The process was seamless and Alyson clearly knew what she was doing given she has cats of her own. She also sent great pics of Teddy which helped me missing him!”

America C.
“I am pleased to recommend America for a dog walking and pet care position through Rover. As a graduate of a Veterinary Assistant program, America brings a strong background in animal care, along with the professionalism, compassion, and reliability that pet owners value and trust. America has consistently demonstrated her natural connection with animals, as well as her ability to handle a wide range of situations with calmness and care. Her veterinary training gives her a solid understanding of animal behavior, basic medical needs, and emergency preparedness—skills that set her apart from typical pet care providers. Whether walking dogs, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, America approaches each responsibility with dedication and heart. Her attention to detail, clear communication, and warm demeanor make her an ideal candidate for pet owners looking for someone they can rely on. She is respectful of clients’ homes, attentive to specific pet needs, and always goes the extra mile to ensure both the pets and their owners feel secure and happy. America would be an exceptional addition to the Rover community, and I have no doubt she will build lasting relationships with the pets and families she serves. Please feel free to reach out with any questions regarding her qualifications or experience.”

Eastside pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover, and Kristina made it such a wonderful and seamless experience. My husband and I were going to be out of town for a day and wanted someone to come and check in on our six year old cat with wobbly cat syndrome. Kristina was able to accommodate our last minute request and arranged a meet and greet with us and Link to make sure everyone was comfortable. She was very communicative and sent many pictures and videos of Link from just a 30 minute visit, which gave us so much peace of mind! Highly recommend!
Kate is a great pet sitter! The day before leaving town I realized everyone would be gone all day, and my three pets would need some attention. Kate was quick to respond to my request, and was exactly on time for the appointment we set. It was such a relief to find someone responsible and personable to entrust my home and animals with and I could tell from the photos my pets were very happy to spend the time with her. I can recommend Kate with high confidence she'll be a reliable and loyal caretaker.
