“This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous pet parents. Kamie is FABULOUS. Upon first visit she took the time to get to know our kittens and spent time playing and bonding with them. She has been so thoughtful and caring in communicating with us while we’ve been away about how they are doing, sending photos, and sharing about their play time and visits. The kitties look genuinely calm and happy to be spending time with her. We are so grateful and Kamie will definitely be our go to pet sitter for all future needs. 😻😻❤️”


About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I have trained almost all my dogs since they were puppies. I have trained my own service dog. I have a passion for training dogs. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time to play with and train your pup. I can take them for daily walks around the park as well. I have a fenced yard and a nearby park to take your dog for a walk. I have my own friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a cat, but if your dog does not like cats, I can isolate may cat from your dog. My big dog seems to have a way of knowing how to make dogs feel comfortable in our home. He knows when to interact with them and when to just leave them alone. I am retired so I have lots of time to spend with your dog. I try to schedule my activities around when I have dogs, so I can devote all my time to caring for the dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise dogs when they are outside. I try to set up play dates with a neighbor who also works for Rover. My husband and family members are usually around to play with and take dogs on walks. I am currently transforming my services to focus more on training sessions in my client’s home. My main focus is working with young pups and to start training from day one, although I welcome the opportunity to train dogs of all ages. My goals are to offer support to dog owners on how to properly train desired behaviors in their dogs. I closely monitor all dogs, especially during play. I train the dogs how to play appropriately with each other. I will only crate dogs if it’s for their own safety. The only services I do in a client’s home are training sessions with the client present.

“Jenny is the best!!! Always had our cat looking forward to her visits and we enjoyed the pictures/comments. Gave us ease of mind while we were away and she also looked after our snake!! The updates provided let us know our cats mood and eating habits.”


“Patrick did a great job taking care of our dog and our cat for drop-in visits while we were away. He was kind and attentive. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him to others.”


About: I’ve had pets in my life and I just love animals and I’m willing to take care of your pets when you’re busy and I’ll give them the best care and the most fun. I am very flexible I have a open schedule right now. Anytime works for me to tend for your pets on a walk, home visits or extra TLC In my own home, I took my dog out multiple times a day. Make sure he’s fed and cared for if weather permits taking them to the park or just having fun.

About: I love taking care of puppies depending on their size abd behavior. I avoid aggressive dogs. I am very patient and very organized with my environment and take my work seriously. I work basically 3 days a week and during my days off, I spend it at home with my daughter and cats. I also have a special room where they can sleep and play safely. At home, I have a special room for my cats. It has everything they need. Food supplies, play trees, litter boxes, pet beds, etc. I even installed an air conditioner to make sure they’re getting the right temperature inside the room. I clean this room everyday after work.

About: I’ve taken care of my girlfriend’s family’s 2 rottweilers and 1 miniature schnauzer, as well as their 2 cats, for periods of time that stretch from 3 days to 1 week. I always pay attention to the owner’s instructions on what the pets need, how to keep them entertained and healthy, and at what times to do what things. I will always put your pets’ safety first and provide the best service I can offer. Not currently working part time so pet care will be much easier and more efficient for me. Weekends are a coin toss as I may be on call on those days. I am a fast learner, so I will ensure that all your pets will be safe and doing their normal behaviors throughout your house, I will make sure no animals can run out and I will treat your pets with the utmost care and respect.

“Joseph is very professional and good energy. Our cats are usually timid - they’re rescues - and hide when people they don’t know come around but Cookie especially made herself visible to him - she’s the fussy one - so it shows his heart around pets. Will definitely be utilizing his service when we leave our beloved pets.”


About: Hi, my name is Mackenzie. Growing up, I was frequently around pets including caring for my own and helping my mom with pet sitting. If there was an animal at any event, you could almost guarantee that I was snuggled right up beside them. My love for animals has only grown as I have opened my heart and my home to these amazing creatures. Over the years I have cared for numerous animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and lizards. I currently share my home with two adorable bunnies. Pets require a lot of hard-work and dedication, but the reward of a happy pet is worth every amount of effort. If needed, I am able to assist any animals with behavior issues or that require special care such as taking meds I currently work part time from 1pm to 6pm and have weekends free so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I am a very attentive pet sitter. If a pet is not already cuddled up next to me, I take regular breaks from whatever I am doing to check on them. Even if I bring my homework, I will make sure your pet is my number one priority and does not get into any trouble


“Jasmine was a great sitter for my old cranky cat. She had my cat social and purring within a couple days. She was extremely responsive and flexible when I requested to extend. I highly recommend Jasmine and would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had experience with a variety of pets throughout my whole life. Since I was young we always had pets in our house. We’ve had chickens, puppies, senior dogs, rabbits, and a few others. This means that I have had loads of experience caring for and simply loving all different types of animals. In addition to all of this I’ve been pet sitting for a variety of my neighbors since I was ten. So I also have loads of experience caring for other people’s pets. I’m currently a high school student with no job which means I have a lot of time to effectively care for your pets. I am available most hours of the day, including weekdays, so I will be able to tend to your pets anytime needed. There are some days where I have basketball practice which would make me unavailable in the later hours of the day but I will still be available in the mornings. I ended my last year with a 4.2 gpa while doing extracurriculars. This shows that I am a very hard working individual that can be entrusted with the care of your pets. I also just love being around animals so you can trust that they will be loved like my own.

“Ariana is amazing. She always kept us up to date if there were any change in her schedule. But most importantly, she loved our babies as much as we love them, and they loved her coming by. She is absolutely amazing and we will be contacting her again as needed.”

About: I’ve had pets for over 20 years both cats and dogs and feel very confident that I can read an animals body language and make them feel comfortable. Im currently working a full-time job but have plenty of free time on the weekends. I am pretty active and know about all the local dog parks. I typically allow my dog out ever 2-4 hours for potty and play time. I take her on at least two walks a day. She has three adults to care for her in my house hold so if on the weekend you need a similar level of care at your location, I would love to keep you fur babies exercised and spoiled with attention!


“Jill always takes such good care of my needy little fur babies. She even took an unexpected kitten added on to this sitting on such short notice. She's consistent, through, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about my cats. She learns their quirks and treats them well. Jill is amazing!”

She has two beautiful rescued cats and I’d say they’re so lucky to have her as she treats them like her own children. She’s responsible and always works on to understand what they need and want. She’s a registered nurse who doesn’t only has the heart for humans but for animals as well.”

Mackenzie S.
“Mackenzie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! She took them to the park everyday on top of taking them for daily walks. Mackenzie even took the time to groom them and spent time the majority of the day with them as I had previously stated that one of my fur babies has separation anxiety. I could tell how much she cared for them and when I came back home, I found my dogs snuggled up next to her on the couch. I will 100% book her again for any pet sitting needs.”
