“Andrew was exceptional! I’m excited to book him again. He was attentive to detail and caring towards my cat, I felt very reassured and relieved being a first time cat owner going out of town.”


2. Andrea H.

“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with my cat Bella and my fish Bumble. Bella is usually pretty outgoing, and Andrea did an amazing job keeping her entertained and happy. I loved getting the updates and pictures—Bella looked so comfortable and content, and Bumble was well cared for too. Coming home to such happy pets and a tidy space was a great feeling. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for someone who truly cares!”

“Alex was great taking care of our senior dog. He got plenty of walks and Alex was able to give him his medicine twice a day, and even took him to the vet for his subcutaneous fluids. Would trust him again!”


4. Tala D.

“Tala is exactly what you want to find on Rover! Responsible, respectful and communicative. Took wonderful care of my cat, my home and my peace of mind while I was away! Extremely thorough with twice daily drop in updates, including adorable pictures, but most importantly confirming that she was flawlessly executing the instructions I had left. I will rebook with her every time, and genuinely believe my cat is looking forward to me leaving so he can spend more time with his new bestie! 😻🙏🏻🤩”

About: Hi I am Jennifer! I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, with experience in senior care and understanding dogs at every stage of life. I am 100% dog lover, I currently help care for my family’s two dogs and I will treat every pet like my own. I only take one dog at a time for now, ensuring your pet gets my full attention and care. I just graduated from college, so I’m currently looking for a part-time job, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for boarding all week and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention and the care they need! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a secure, fenced patio, creating a safe and welcoming space for your pet, and it is close to many dog parks! My home is designed for their comfort, with pet-friendly furniture and plenty of attention. I’ll provide daily updates and communicate as often as needed to ensure peace of mind and meet the needs of pet owners. Meet and greet needed!


7. Juan A.

“I highly recommend Juan! He arrived on time, took 15 mins to get to know us and our needs, and was super caring with our dog, Tobi. If you are looking for someone who is calm, caring, patient, and great at communicating, I would highly suggest contacting Juan.”


8. Esperanza M.
“Esperanza is always lovely with my Caspar. The highlight of my booking with her is getting frequent updates and pictures of him throughout his stay. She is very responsive, and Caspar always has a great time in her care!”


9. Olga M.
About: I’ve cared for puppies and have often stayed with neighbors' and friends' pets. They trusted me with dog walks, knowing I’d care for them with love and attention. As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to pet owners’ needs. My preferred times are mornings before 12 or evenings from 4 to 10. I’m also available on weekends and holidays and always happy to help at a time that’s most convenient for you and your pets. I prefer to care for pets in the client’s home, as it provides them with a more comfortable and peaceful environment. I’m also open to taking in small pets during a client's trip, ensuring they feel safe and loved.


10. Leslie C.
About: I have an anxious dog myself and have learned to listen to her needs and ensure I approach every dog with the same care and attention I am currently available early mornings or late afternoons as well as the weekends; Saturday after 4pm and available all day Sunday. I am also available on major holidays if needed. I make sure I pay attention to the dog to ensure they are comfortable during their walk. I also like to clean their paws after a walk and keep them hydrated.


11. Melissa S.
About: I'm usually my friends and family go to for taking care of their fur babies! I take care of them as if they were my own. I also have a little pup myself. He's a golden retriever and has lots of energy and loves to play. I will take care of your baby as if he/she were my own :) I'm currently doing school online and work part time at a coffee shop. I have tuesdays and thursdays off, im also usually free on the weekends too! I'm very patient and caring. I will make sure your doggo is always safe but most importantly having the most fun! I have a dog of my own, his name is Odin and he's 4 months old. He's very shy around new dogs but he always warms up to them and loves to play!


12. Alondra R.
About: My entire 26 years I have been surrounded by animals. Whether it be dogs, cats, roosters, turtles and even tarantulas. There’s something so wholesome about the unconditional love of animals. I love being surrounded by all animals, especially dogs and cats, I cherish every moment spent in their company. I currently work part time as a teacher aid and looking for an extra source of income. I have the weekends completely open and week days I work from 11:30-5pm, so this gives me flexibility to ensure pets receive the attention, love and care they need. I am routine oriented so house sitting allows me to maintain structured schedule that benefits the pets I look after. In my two-bedroom apartment, I have a fenced balcony that provides a secure outdoor space for pets to get fresh air and enjoy some time outside without risk. Plus a separate home entrance ensures easy access for drop-offs and pick-ups, minimizing stress for the pets and their owners. In my home, I provide a cozy, clean space for pets to relax and feel at home. I maintain a routine that includes regular feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet time, all tailored to the pet’s specific habits and preferences. NOTE : I do have a cat at home so preferably cat friendly pets. My cat is very quiet, she is considered a “senior” cat, so she won’t interact much nor leave her room.


13. Juan L.
“Juan has been the most lovely person with animals, he’s so energetic and active with pets! He is always responsable and tidy. I wouldn’t doubt on trust him at all”


14. Cruz Q.
“Cruz is a great care provider, with real life experience as she has had an abundance of pets throughout her whole life. She is attentive and most importantly has a heart for every living being. She comes from a ranch where not only Cruz has had to take care of a numerous amount of dogs, but a variation of animals such as; roosters, goats, sheep, cattle, and horses. As someone who personally knows her, I have seen her passion when it comes to taking care of any animal.”


15. Hannah R.
About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood, family, and foster animals (especially cats). Dogs and cats need lots of engagement to thrive, and I’m happy to provide it. I have experience with complex food regiments and slipping in their meds. I have a hybrid work schedule, and I holiday flexibility. That makes me available for pet care at different times of the day or night. I have my own cat at home, and I will follow your guidance on what your pet needs in your home, be that playing inside, running in the car, or walks around the neighborhood.


16. Opal C.

“Opal was as good as her word. She came on time and took care of my girls’ feeding, litter box, water and playtime. She also sent pictures every day. I appreciated that she also texted messages and answered mine. Great job! I’d recommend her.”


17. Alyssa D.
About: I have a solid foundation in pet care, including daily feeding and walking. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and can follow specific instructions from owners. My experience also includes caring for both puppies and senior pets, ensuring that each receives the appropriate level of care and attention. What sets me apart is my commitment to creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets, making sure they feel at ease while their owners are away. I’m currently a full time student working on my last year, so I always have time in between classes during the day and on weekends! In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their specific guidelines, ensuring that the pet’s routine remains unchanged. I focus on creating a familiar atmosphere, keeping their environment clean and safe, and offering plenty of love and attention to build trust. Regular communication with pet owners is also key to ensuring peace of mind.
