“Maya is great with our dogs and always makes sure to meet the specific needs of each of them. She’s also super flexible and accommodating with changing schedules. She’s good with our big foster dog (>120lbs) and with our little 10lb dog. Also, she sometimes will leave cute drawings of our dogs after her drop-ins! Highly recommend her!”

About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. I love doggies and kitties! They are all balls of fur and love and they make me happy. I’ve had pits, Aussies, cats and also lived in the jungle with many bugs and snakes. have volunteered and fostered doggies until they found their forever-homes, and currently have one black kitty-kat, who is very laid back. I would love to come meet and hang out with your fur baby until you get back. I will keep you updated and please let me know If you have any questions. I would look after your pup/kitty like they are mine!! With as much discipline, love and comfort. Ps.the doggie in the profile pic is a pit I have taken care of many times, hope to meet you soon! Thank you Daily basis, but prefer morning or evening times if feeding or walking other pets. I have a flexible schedule so please ask if I can accommodate your specific needs. I have generally house sat with taking care of tohers pets, I go on walks, play and cuddle them. I treat all animals like they are my own, I ask for consent and allow the pet to come to me. I only interfere when the pet is acting out. I beleive animals take care of your emotional well being, and therefore I will take care of them and make sure they have all they need.
About: The core of my pet care experience comes from my rescue dog Ivy, a lovable chow/shepherd mix who taught me patience, confidence, and how to meet a pet exactly where they are. Before Ivy, I cared for my orange cat Mango, and many pets for friends and family over the years. As an avid animal lover, I bring a calm, intuitive approach to every pet I meet, treating them like my own and paying close attention to their unique personalities and needs. I’m currently working from home, in a freelance setting so my schedule is flexible. Open to finding what works the best for your pet schedule. I care for pets with a mix of structure, comfort, and plenty of love. In your home, I follow your routines closely feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so your pet feels safe and secure. In my home, I create a calm, cozy environment with lots of enrichment, attention, and supervision. Whether it’s extra pets, slow walks, or high-energy play, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs to make sure they feel happy, understood, and right at home.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, but I offer more than just 'love for pets'—I offer experienced handling. At 24, I have hands-on experience managing the intensity of three litters of puppies and two litters of kittens, ensuring they were healthy, cared for, and placed in good homes. I currently live in a household with a medium-sized dog, so I am active in daily training and care. Whether your pet needs high-energy play or patient, attentive house-sitting, I have the background to handle it professionally. My routine is built around consistency and attentiveness. I am currently focused on building my own professional services, I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care during peak hours. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day feedings, or overnight stays, I ensure that my daily rhythm aligns with the pet's existing schedule to minimize their stress. I treat pet care as my primary professional commitment, ensuring I am always available for check-ins, photo updates, and quality one-on-one time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their established routine to ensure they feel secure and calm. I focus on keeping their environment clean, sticking to precise feeding schedules, and providing the specific level of exercise or social interaction they require. I am highly communicative, sending regular photo updates so owners have total peace of mind. In my home, pets are treated like family. I live with a friendly, medium-sized dog, so any visiting pets will have a social environment. I ensure all interactions are supervised and safe. My experience raising multiple litters of puppies and kittens has taught me how to manage a household with multiple animals effectively, ensuring every pet gets individual attention, proper boundaries, and a safe space to rest.
About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for small to medium-sized dogs for over 15 years — from playful pups to sweet seniors up to 14 years old. I’ve handled all kinds of care, including giving meds and helping dogs with special needs (my own one-eyed senior dog taught me so much about patience and unconditional love!). I treat every dog like part of my family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, walks, or cozy cuddles, your pup will always have fun and get plenty of attention. You can count on me to care for your dog as if they were my own — with kindness, reliability, and lots of tail wags! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I love spending time with dogs — going on walks, playtime, feeding, and just giving them attention and affection. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get consistent routines, exercise, and love. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening cuddle time, I truly enjoy every moment. Taking care of dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s something I love, and it naturally fits into my daily routine. When I care for pets, I always focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved — just like they would at home with their family. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications or special needs they may have. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality — whether they love playtime, belly rubs, or just quiet company — and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. In my home, pets have a cozy, clean space to relax and play, and in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. My goal is always to make every pet feel happy, secure, and cared for while their family is away.
“Ariane was wonderful with my cat Bella. I travel frequently for work and struggle to find last minute drop-in care for her. Ariane came to the rescue! I definitely plan to book with her again!”

About: Whether it's just lounging on the couch or going for a fun walk, your dog will have my full attention. Their comfort is my number one priority. I have doggy stairs and extra beds all around the house. I work remotely so my schedule is flexible enough that I can take them for walks whenever needed. I also have a front and backyard where the doggies can sniff around or lay in the sun. :) I work from home so I can take the doggies out whenever they want and feed them whenever I’m instructed to. Very flexible schedule here. I have fenced yard and my 2 doggies are very friendly with other dogs. My dogs have doggy stairs and beds all over the house.
About: When I was 14 I got my first dog and at that point, I learned a whole new definition of responsibility. I was the primary caretaker of our Maltese named Toby who lived a happy and healthy 16 years. Since then, I have adopted my own dog Spuds, a Labrador retriever mix, and rescued him from the unfortunate fate of dog fighting. Because of this, I have learned to deal with my dog's anxiety and reactiveness despite being 5'2" and him being 80 lbs. That being said, I get that every dog has different personalities, needs, health issues, preferences, etc. and I'm willing to pay attention to every detail in order to provide what's best for you and your dog. Most importantly, I also know that every dog is an important part of a family so I guarantee the most top notch care I can give. As a pet owner and full time worker with various shifts, I understand the importance of making sure your dog has the best care even without being home. I'm super flexible with my schedule and will do my best to cater to you and your pets. I promise to note every single detail when it comes to caring for your pet no matter how specific it is. Also, I will make sure that your pet is not just taken care of but also happy and comfortable.
About: I've adopted and loved dogs and cats my entire life. From puppies and kittens to senior pets. I've walked, loved and administered medicine if needed. Pets are my passion! Pets are a part of my daily life! Not a day goes by that I am not walking, feeding, petting or loving on a pet. I have a fenced in yard that many puppies have tested! I have a secured spot for food and fluffy dog beds for rest. Lots of fresh water bowls both inside and outside my home.
“Lani was great with our cat! She sent photos after every visit and was communicative when needed. Food and water were changed as needed and litter box was scooped. Will definitely use in the future.”

“Elizabeth was a great pet sitter for my 2 cats. She paid attention to my instructions, sent me a photo everyday, and was very communicative! Literally everything I could ask for, and I'd be happy to recommend her to others/ and will be using her again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of my brother’s dog Luna, a boxer, for months at a time and my old roommate had a cat. I’ve had experience feeding, walking, bathing etc. I currently work from home so my day to day is very flexible. Fits very easily into my life and I have my partner to help out as well My apartment is small but clean and animal friendly, there is a dog park nearby. My partner helps me as well with walks etc. I’m very attentive and committed to taking good care of any animal under my responsibility
“This was my first time using Rover and getting a cat sitter. Katherine was so great through this process. She definitely cared for my babies as if they were her own. I would love to book her again!”

El Sereno pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is the second weekend Sydney has done drop-in visits for my cat and she is wonderful. Her visit recaps and pictures are always detailed and make me feel happy to read/see when I’m missing my kitty. My cat loves her, and she doesn’t warm up to everyone, so I will absolutely have Sydney watch her again!

Kristine is our go to sitter for Pritchard and once again she was wonderful. She communicated clearly, especially when our cat had an issue using the litter box, and went above and beyond by cleaning, vacuuming, and bringing in our packages. The thoughtful note and sweet gift were such a nice touch. We always feel confident leaving our cat and home in her care and highly recommend her!

Mackenzie did a great job taking care of our two cats. It was obvious she made them feel safe and loved, as one of ours was even giving belly rubs by the second or third visit. Their personalities were clearly represented in her messages which demonstrated to us that she very much gave them individualized care and attention.

Laurel was absolutely incredible! This was our first time having her watch Charlie & I had a lot of notes & she accommodated all my very specific asks so he could be comfortable. He’s a quirky cat! Charlie now loves her & she left such thorough descriptions after each visit which was greatly appreciated. So grateful he was in good hands with her & that she was so detail oriented, and accommodating. Highly recommend Laurel!

Talia was amazing taking care of our house and two cats. Her communication was prompt and reliable from the beginning. She followed our instructions and kept us updated with pictures each time she dropped in to check on our kitties. She was responsible and caring, We will definitely contact her the next time we are out of town. We highly recommend her.
