About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, dog walking, playtime, and routine medication support. I also have experience with senior pets, shy cats, anxious dogs, and pets that need a calmer, more patient approach. I understand the importance of following instructions closely, watching for changes in behavior, and keeping owners updated during each visit. For medication care, I can assist with routine owner-directed medication such as pills, liquid medication, eye drops, ear drops, and topical medication. Written instructions are required so I can follow your pet’s normal care routine accurately. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking by appointment. My schedule may vary depending on location and existing bookings, but I do my best to keep visits consistent with your pet’s normal routine. For first-time clients, I prefer a meet-and-greet before confirming the booking so I can learn your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medication needs, behavior notes, and home access instructions. For pets with medication needs, please provide clear written instructions in advance, including medication name, dosage, timing, and what to do if your pet refuses the medication. Safety and trust are very important to me. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep dogs leashed during walks, use your preferred walking route when provided, check doors and gates before leaving, and provide clear visit updates with photos. During each visit, I make sure food and water are refreshed, potty or litter box needs are handled, and your pet’s area is left clean and secure. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything that seems unusual, and I will update you right away if I notice a concern. I only provide drop-in visits and dog walking at the pet owner’s home. I do not offer boarding or daycare, so pets remain in their own familiar environment.

About: I have loved animals ever since I was a kid! From cats and dogs to even reptiles and birds, I love them all. I would be honored to care for your furry loved ones! I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule. I would be more than happy to accommodate the needs of you and your babies! In my client’s home, I am very detail oriented and respectful of any rules and guidelines. I take pet care very seriously, and I make sure to keep in touch.
About: I have owned chickens, cats, parakeets, and dogs in the past. Pets are my life. My boy Kenny (a Goldendoodle), whom I recently got, I consider my son. Because of my PTA program, I'm only available during the mornings on Mon/Wed/Thu. On all other days, I have open availability to stay as long as your pets need! While I cannot take pets to my own home, I can take care of pets in other settings so long as the owner is comfortable and aware of where I am with their pet.
About: I grew up with a Great Dane who I cared for from childhood until she passed, and she’s the reason I’ve loved pets my whole life. Since then, I’ve helped take care of family and friends’ dogs of all sizes. Today I have an 11-year-old chihuahua (Camila) who is healthy, loved, and very used to having little pups around and a 5-year-old Weimaraner (Lolo) who was literally ‘trained’ by Camila to be gentle and respectful with small dogs. We also have a 16-month-old baby who has learned to be calm, gentle, and loving with pets. Your pup will be in a loving, kind, safe, and experienced home. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give consistent attention and supervision to your pup throughout the day. My son is in daycare during daytime hours, so the home stays calm, quiet, and perfect for small dogs. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced front yard where dogs can safely explore under my supervision. I only care for a small number of pups at a time to keep the environment calm and safe. My two pups are gentle, respectful of small breeds, and all interactions are always supervised. I can also separate or crate dogs if needed to match their routine.
“I made a last minute change due to emergency and Jarvis could still accommodate. My velcro baby seems to get along with him. Jarvis kept me updated with photos, responded quickly, and raised questions about pet care. My fur baby needs to have eye drops every hour and he did it for me.”
About: I've taken care of pets since 2020 mostly from family. Past year I've walked, fed, cleaned, and played with pets who are friends of a coach I intern with. I'm currently interning part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I'm available on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Family and I, fenced the backyard for my uncle's dog, took care of him, and provided a safe home for him. I know how to feed, walk, and play with dogs and cats.
“Zoey was amazing! It was a lot easier being away from home knowing she was going to drop in and keep my cat’s company. She followed instructions, gave me updates, sent pictures and most importantly made sure my cat got his daily medication. My cats were well looked after with her while I was away from home. I would not hesitate booking with her again! This was my first time using Rover and I could not have asked for a better experience!”
About: Animals have always had a very large impact in my life, I’ve always loved being able to care and bond with pets. Aside from having pets of my own, I have also fostered and rescued a few companions! When watching your pet, I can promise that I will treat them with just as much love, care, and compassion as I’ve given to my own pets. I would absolutely love to pet sit for you! I work part time and don’t work summers so I have a good amount of time to help care for your pets! My current summer hours starting in June come out to pretty much anytime on any weekday!

Your pet feels the safest in their home and I want to make sure that while I’m there they continue to feel safe and at peace.

About: I cared for dogs for about two years. I would walk them and play with them. I also work part-time at a pet supplies and I know what kind of food is suitable for dogs with different problems.

“This was our first experience using Rover and Alex did not disappoint! When we needed a last minute sitter for our precious kitty, she was quick to respond and arrange a meeting the same day. We were immediately put at ease with her knowledge as a vet tech and clear love for animals. From the beginning, Alex was professional, thoughtful, and warm. During our trip, she sent detailed summaries of her visit and went above and beyond to care for our sweet girl. It’s no surprised our Eevee warmed up to her so quickly! We’re so impressed with Alex and would definitely book her again! :)”

Jacqueline did an excellent job caring for my cats while I was out of town. Her calm and quiet demeanor was very helpful for the comfort of my cats, and I felt confident in my choice to have her as my cat sitter when the more skittish of my two cats did not run and hide when she first met him. She sent me many wonderful pictures of her drop in visits with them, which included engaging play time, and I could tell day by day they were adjusting well to her presence, even excited for her to arrive. The cats and I are satisfied by the care she provided, and I look forward to connecting with Jacqueline again for future trips.
Jessie was amazing with my cat. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and caring with my cat. Even during the meet and greet, my cat warmed up to her right away with no adjustment period at all. By the end, my cat absolutely adored her. Super grateful for the thoughtful care and attention during the drop-in visits.
Justin was a great sitter for our two doggies! He played with them, fed them, and gave them water just as we asked. He also even picked up their poop which was a nice touch! He made it very easy for us to enjoy our getaway without needing to worry about our dogs. They were in great hands while we were gone!
Chu Hua was absolutely amazing with my kitties!! She clearly has a ton of experience with cats, and asked great questions when she came beforehand to check everything out and get the run down! She came every day, did what was needed, and played with them! Got so many photos and videos too! Will definitely be using her again in the future!!
I made a last minute change due to emergency and Jarvis could still accommodate. My velcro baby seems to get along with him. Jarvis kept me updated with photos, responded quickly, and raised questions about pet care. My fur baby needs to have eye drops every hour and he did it for me.
She has gone above and beyond my expectations! My 3 kitties are super shy and hard to come out of their shell. Sahirah has managed to get them to be comfortable with her in 2 days! She has provided a lot of updates and has been helpful with things as they arise!
Beverly took incredible care of my dog! She kept me updated at each visit and was very good at communication. I loved the pictures she sent when she took him on walks and silly things he would do. She also went above and beyond the expected service which I am thankful for. I will definitely use her in the future!
Loretta has helped me several times with drop in visits to take care of my two German Shepherd dogs and these visits have included bringing my dogs out in the morning and bringing them in at night and feeding them and ensuring they have potty breaks and food breaks and water breaks. I greatly appreciate Loretta’s help and I would recommend her.. Thank you Loretta!
